 t'As far as that back wall. Poor Gibelin! He never thought of looking on the other side of it. .Eh, ehr'
 Coquenil breathed more freely. tfWe may be all right yet. An, yes," he cried, going quickly to this back wall where the al1eyway turned to the right along the rear of the hotel. Again he threw his white light before him and, with start of satisfaction, pointed to the ground. There, clearly marked. was line of footprints, single line, with no breaks or imperfections, the plain record on the rain soaked earth that one person, evidently a man, had passed this way, going out.
 ftI11 send the dog frst,'' said M. Paul. Here, Caesar! Cherchei'' Once more the eager animal sprang forward, following slowly along the row of trees where the trail was con- fused, and then, at the corner, dash ing ahead swiftly, only to stop again after few yards and stand scratch ing uneasily at a closed door.
 s"That settles it,'' said CoqueniI. ttHe has brought US to the alleyway door. Am I right?''
 "Yes,'' nodded Gritz.
 stThe door that leads to No. 7?''
 ssYes"
 "Open it,'' and, while the agitated proprietor searched for his pass key, the detective spoke to Tigno1: t1 want impressions of these footprints, the best you can take. Use glycerin with plaster of paris for the molds. Take this one, and these two, and this, and this.''
 The alleyway door stood open, and, using his lantern with the utmost care, Coquenil went first, mounting the stairs slowly, followed by Gritz. At the top they came to a narrow landing and closed door.
 s.This opens directly into No. 7?'' asked the detective.
 "Yes''
 s'Is it usually locked or unlocked ?''
 ssIt is always locked"
 ssWe1I, it's unlocked now,'' observed Coquenil, trying the knob. Then, fash ing his lantern forward, he threw the door wide open. The room was empty.
 sfLet me turn up the e1ectrics,'' said the proprietor. and he did so, showing furnishings like those in No. 6 except that here the prevailing tint was pale blue, while there it was pale yellow.
 T see nothing wrong," remarked M. Paul, glancing about sharply. "Do you?''
 Nothing
 Except that this door into the cor ridor is bo1ted. It didn't bolt itself, did it?''
 s.No," sighed the other.
 Coquenil thought a moment; then he produced the pistol found in the court yard and examined it with extreme care; then he unlocked the corridor door and looked out. The policeman was still on guard before No. 6.
 q shall want to go in there shortly" said the detective.
 Gritz hesitated moment, and then, with an apprehensive look in his beady eyes, he said, 3sSo you're going in there7" and he ierked his fat thumb toward the wall separating them from No. 6.
 Coquenil nodded.

Beachmont, Ky, March 26.-In a building that cost less than $500 to erect the secretary of the Southern Pacific railroad is patiently waiting for the arrival of the stockholders and some of the wealth1est men in the United States to attend the an nua1 meeting of the road. Judge R. s. Lovett, chairman of the board of directors of the so called Hartman roads, will blow through the mud of Beachmont, which is a suburb of Louisville, to attend the annual meet ing. Owing to the fact that the busi- ness is conducted through proxies, the little building, which is famous as the central office of one of the greatest roads in the world, will not be overcrowded. The dozen men who will attend the meeting April 6

Republicans VIII Make
Their Own Nominations

The republicans of California
have n field of five candidates
from which TO select their nOmi-
nee for governor. For the first
time In tho history of California
the republicans will make their
own nominations. They have the
direct primary law. The Call
secured that law for them and
for all the people of California.
The Call purposes to secure for
the republicans and all the peO-
pie of California all the pertinent
information available touching
the qualifications and policies of
the men who seek nomination to
the head of the republican ticket.
As one of the means to that end
The Call haS invited or will in
wife each of the republican can
didates for governor to outline
his personal platform for the in
formation of the people. Here is
what Charles f. Curry declares
in his primary platform:

WILL ASK SOLONS FOR
MONEY FOR SOIL STUDY
Convention Will Petition LegiSla-
ture for Funds for Agricul-
tural Experiment Work

During the closing hours Of the soil
convention in Blanchard hall yesterday
the chairman of the convention was
empowered to appoint a committee TO
present a set of resolutions to the state
legislature calling for financial assist
ance in employing the best scientists
in the country at the University of CAL
ifornia in the development of the
states agricultural experiment work.
The resolution scores the legislature
for not providing ample financial as
sistance in solving the soil problems
and asks for special appropriations
from the legislative body to carry on
the work. 1t advises the University
of California to concentrate its funds
and ability on as few lines Of work as
possible.
1t also advises the establishment and
permanent maintenance of labora-
tory for the specific purpose of the
analysis of soils at the state univer-
sity.
The lack of funds to carry on the
agricultural experiments is deplored
and a statement is made that more
than 100 booklets and pamphlets reaGJ
for publication and distribution among
the farmers are useless because or
lack of funds to print them.
The convention has been in session
five days and was attended by men
prominent in the scientific world of
the west as we'll as California.
