.BERRY'S CHARGES NEXT
TO Be INVESTIGATED
House Committee to Consider
Accusations Against Chief
of Weather Bureau.

Announcement was made today by Rep
resentative Moss that his committee
would consider at an early day the
charges against Prof. Willis L. Moore,
chief of the weather bureau, which have
been preferred by James Berry. a former
employe of the bureau. Mr.. Berry charges

vestigation of the weather bureau after
we have disposed of the Wiley case"
said Chairman Moss today. 1--WE had
intended to have the inquiry in progress
by this time, but the Wiley charges took
precedence and we had to delay taking
up the investigation into the weather
bureau for the present.
Says He Exceeded Authority.
"Mr. Berry has filed several charges
against the administration Of the weather
bureau. 1 have had some correspondence
about the Odenback case in which Mr..
Berry charges that Prof. Moore has gone
beyond his authority in his attempt to
engage the expert services Of the Rev. F..
l.. Odenback of Cleveland in connection
with the latter's seismographical observa-
lions.
II do not know that any payments have
actually been made to DR.. Odenback.
The committee will have to look into this,
and this will be one Of the things brought
up when the committee starts its gen.
eral investigation of the weather bureau.
I'VE hope to begin the investigation of
the Wiley charges next week, and when
this matter Is concluded will be in po-
sition to take up weather bureau mat
ters."
Substance of the Charges.
Mr.. Berry filed his charges against
Prof Moore at the Department of Justice.
alleging that the services of the Rev. DIR.
Odenback were engaged to be paid for

He declares this to be unlawful, as there
is no provision in the appropriation for
the weather bureau which permits such
expenditures for seismographical informa-

Wickersham forwarded the charges to the
Agricultural Department, but made no
recommendation.

Owing to the disorgani2ed character of

first glimpse OF the unknown land
where Captain Fielding had met his
tragic fate SO many years before. Three

aloft, the murder of a man he might
have saved, the man to whom. had
he saved him, he might have turned
for exoneration from stain upon his
name which was now ineradicable.
Three days ago he had thought his
world was empty, swept clean of hui
man concern and human affection.
Three days ago he had not known that
Jeanne Fielding existed.
AS for the identity Of the monster
who had left the proof of his existence
in those tracks which Philip had dis

that he was Roscoe himself. The foot
prints were immense. Cayley said. and
their distance apart bespoke the stride
of giant.
II 1t were Roscoe who had been
crouching there behind the boulder,
then 1t seemed to them unlikely that
he was here alone; unlikely that he
had not at least two or three of his
crew with him.
That idea, when 1t first occurred to
them. brought little added terror with
it. The person of the monstrous mur-
derous ruf1ian, who was the chief,
dwarfed his subordinates to pygmies.
Yet when they came to think over the
situation. reasonably, this uncertainty
as to the number OF their enemy
proved vital element in it 1t put
| an unequivocal veto upon Cayley's
first plan. which was to start out at
once and take the aggressive against
their enemy. before he should have
time to move against them.
This bit of beach where the hut
stood was practically fortified. The
cliff behind 1t was absolutely sheer,
and was capped with deep, perpetual
snow. Half a mile to the westward
was the promontory, and about half
a mile up the beach from the hut, 10
the eastward, the glacier projected

cheeks and forehead. He could see
the faint rise and fall of her breast
when she breathed. He laid the throw

and muscles taut for his rush.
Then, Just then, he saw the thing
that made Jeanne close her eyes, the
flashing sword-cut of that great gold

Roscoe dropped down, as II he had
been blasted by the sight Of sword

his head in his arms. He did not
rouse himself, did not succeed in fore

dark. Then, without glance behind
him, he arose and began scrambling
madly up the broken face Of the talus,
and, reaching the top of 1t, went on

feat which even he could hardly have
accomplished except under the ex-

For only SO long as was necessary

followed had been a well-worn thor

When he found that his boat had

that this was SO and that with the
coming of the dawn they would send

OF the strange figure he had seen

derous lust four years ago-of that,
and of the more terrible apparition he
had seen coming down out of the sky,

considered all the circumstances.
When the fog lifted with the ap-
proach Of dawn. he discovered what
Philip and Jeanne did not become
aware of until several hours later. that
the Aurora had drifted out to sea in
the gale. The clean line of the hori
plunging masses of the ice. There was
Just one chance, he thought, that she
might still be comparatively near at
hand. Southwark and eastward the
horizon was unbroken, but the jutung
mass of the promontory to the west
cut of his view in that direction. It
was possible that the gale which had
destroyed the foe that formed the
harbor, had also broken up the pack
ice at the other side of the peninsula,
the side from which Cayley. on the
wing had first approached this un-
known land. The yacht might be
there, riding safely in practically open
water.
He got up from the snow nest he
had made for himself in the lee Of the
rock, and cautiously fexed his stiffen-
ed muscles, with the idea Of setting
out at once down the beach and
around the headland to learn whether
this last hope Of his was groundless.
Really, In his heart, he had no hope
at all, but that fact knade 1t easy to
postpone for little longer the putting
of this delusion of a hope ne hao to
the test Of reality.
The excuse he made to himself was,
that he was ravenously hungry, and
that his most sensible course would be
to go up the glacier to the cave and
cook himself breakfast before he did

that farmers appreciation of size in

Taking the experience of farmers

1t is also true that the farmers who

Pigs which come In March or April

made to weigh 200 to $50 pounds for
the October market. but they will need
the best of care and feed. With spring
pigs on good pasture and fed morning
and evening with good slop of shorts
and little dry corn they will put on
pound Of weight each day and be
ready for heavy feeding when corn Is
ripe or ready to hog down. They will
not do 1t on water and corn alone.

growth must be furnished to give them
