pated that question. For a moment he hesitated, repeating blankly after the government agent: 'sWho Is he?'
 Bradley's manner had changed ab-
 ruptly from bland curiosity to stern determination to know. "Yes," he said sharply, "who is
 Rhinestrom? Where does he come from? Where is he now? Whom did you deal with?'' Pinckney hesitated. 'sWhy, have no idea who his friends l are" "Does Mir. Durant knowr' asked the detective. Still Pinckney fenced. "I-I couldn't say, really. Better ask MT. Durant.' q did" reterted Bradley shortly. Pinekney saw it was time to end l this cross questioning if he was to get away safe. The government agent was shrewder than he thought, and 1 this thin spot in his defense-the iden- | tity of RhinestromEseem perilously
 weak. The only thing to do was to | end it at once.
 q haven't time to talk to you fur 1 ther," he said. Bradley made restraining gesture. s'Just moment more, MT. Pinckney. I Has Rhinestrom ever been at your works ?'' 1 .sNo. sir" returned the general man
 ager promptly. ssThen how does Marsh know him?'' 1 demanded the government agent stern Iy.
 It was pure bluff, but Pinckney had no idea of that, and he took the bait,
 hook, sinker and all ssMarsh!' he exclaimed blankly. l ssWhy, Marsh doesn't know him. For the first time Bradley permitted
 himself sneering smile. "I can only go by what Marsh says ' | he declared. Do you mean to tell ! me, MT. Pinckney, that Marsh, the draugAtsman of the Durant steel
 works, does not know the inventor of
 the Rhinestrom gum" Pinckney's fale was brick red with
 anger now, but inside there was a culver of apprehension that Marsh had l talked If so, all was up. Anyway
 this questioning must stop.
 sI'm not going to talk to you fur ! ther, sir,'' he declared angrily. Your 1 manner is distasteful to me."t l Again there came that mocking, sa- tirical apology. I "Oh, I'm so sorry. But, MT. Pinck- .ney, you don't mind admittingI that the man in charge of forging the Sommers | gun was drunk?' l Pfnckney hesitated.- q do admit that" he said, ssbut he ] did his work properly. I was there 1 myself to watch him. MT. Sommers 1 was there too.'' Instantly the secret service agent ! turned on Sommers.

 didn't see it." You were in the furnace room, '' I exclaimed the secret service man, "and you did not see your own gun go into

Bed Cross Reorqanizes.

Washington. Dec. 7.-All branch or
CARNATIONS of the American National
Red Cross Society were abolished to-
day, and in their stead bodies to be
known as chapters will be organized.
This action was confirmed at the ses-
sion cf the national organization in
Washington today.
These chapters will be formed by
resolutions of Subdivisions existing
at present. directed to the headquar-
tiers at Washington, and governing
boards in eacn State will have direcs
supervision of the chapters. The ad
ditio1 of the State governing boards
and The substitution of the word chap
ter for subdivision in the title of the
local organizations are the chief
points of change in the plan of the re-
organization. This, however, ii Is be-
lieved will add greatly to the eficien-
cy OF the central body as a working
force.

White slavery Is discussed, the
view being that thare is urgent nee
essity for additional legislation and
greater executive activity to suppress

II believe 1t to be constitutional"
the president says, Ito forbid under
penalty the transportation of persons
for purposes of prostitution across
national and state lines: and by ap-
propriating a fun of $50. 900 to be us
ed by the secretary of commerce and
labor for the employment of special
inspectors, it will be possible to
bring those responsible for this trade

The president say that while the
medical departments of the army and
navy must be kept separate. there
seems no reason why all the other bu-
raaus and Offices in the general gov
eminent, watch " to do with the
public health should not be united in
a bureau to be called the bureau of
public health"
In conclusion the president says:
Speaking generally, the country is
in a high state of prosperity. There
is every reaso to believe that we are
on the eve of a substantial business
expansion and We have just garnered
a harvest unexanpled in the market
value of our agricultural products.
The nigh prices which such products
bring mean great prosperity for the
farming community, but, on the other
hand they mean a very considerably
increased burden upon those classes
in the community whose yearly com
~pensation does not expand with the
Improvement in business and the gen
eral prosperity. Various reasons are
given for the high prices. The pro-
p~ortionate increase in the output of
gold which today is the chief medium
of exchange and is in some respects a
measure of value, furnishes a sub
| stantisl explanation of at least part
of Increase in prices. The increase
in population and more expensive
mode of living of the people, which
| nave not been accompanied by a pro-
portionate increase in acreage pro-
duction. may furnish a further reason.
II is well to note that the increase in
The cost of living is not confined TO
this country but prevails the world
over and that those who would charge
increases in prices to the existing
protective tariff must meet the fact
that the rise in the prices has taken
place almost wholly in those pro-
ducts of the factory and farm in re-
spect to which there has been either

instances q very considerable reduc-
ion.
