SCENTS NEW
DEN OF ANARCHISTS
Pyrotechnist Employed to
Apply Smoke and
Avoid Battle.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Whet is considered
most valuable clue to the identity
and location of the remaining members
Of a gang of anarchists that infest Lon
don's East Side was received by the
police today. A move against the gang
is hourly expected.
To avoid such a scene as that of
Tuesday, when 1,5OO police and several
hundred soldiers and firemen fous1
for eight hours against a handful Cf
anarchists, the authorities today en-
gagged the services of an expert pyro-
teChnist, who will smoke out the anarch-
lists from their retreat, should 1t be
discovered.
The plan is to surround the house of
the anarchists and fire upon them as
they emerge If they show fight.
Hundreds of police and detectives are
still going through the suspected quart
erS of the East Side, but the anarchists
are evidently under close cover and no
suspects were found.
Home Secretary Winston Churchill is
coming in for the severest criticism for
his conduct of the police campaign in
Tuesdays spectacular fight. He is aC-
cused of ordering the mounted soldiers
and field artillery TO the scene and of
otherwise putting the entire police de-
partment in such ridiculous position.
Continental papers arriving in London
show that all OF Europe is laughing at
the police department and charging it
with grossest tncompetency.

the board OF trustees. There was moth
ing here. He looked through the papers
In the desk-among them no reference
to money. He scrutiniZed every page OF
paper In the safe, except the contents OF
one locked compartment. No reference.
He examined Morton's private bank
book-a record of the monthly check de-
posted and numerous small with
drawals-that was all.
And then he picked up a notebook
that all the while had been lying on the
desk. He began to thumb it through,
not with the hope of discovering clue.
but merely as routine act or thor
ough search. 1t was half engagement
book, half diary. David turned to the
page dated with the day of Morton
death, intending to work from there
backward-and upon the page hes found
this note of an engagement:
p. mat Mr. Haddon's office-First
fall meeting of Boys Farm Committee.
He turned slowly back through the
leaves of September, August, july
June, finding not a single suggestive
record. But this memorandum, on the
18th OF May, stopped him short:
Boys Farm Committee adjourned to-
day till fall, as two members go to Eu-
rope. Money left in Third National Bank
in my name, to pay for farm when for
malities of sale are completed. D..
Instantly David thought of an entry
on the list OF June recording, that, with
everything settled save merely the bind
ing formalities, the farmer had sud
denly broken off the deal, having had a
better offer. ,.
Here was the money, every instinct
told David. But the case was not Yet
proved; the money might be lying in
the bank untouched. He grasped at
this chance. There must be a bank
book and check book somewhere, he
knew; and as he had searched the
office like a pocket, except for the
drawer of the safe, he guessed they
must be there. After long hunt for
the key he found a bunch of keys in
the trousers Morton had worn the day
before his death. One of these opened
the drawer, and sure enough here were
the check book and bank book.
David eazed at these for a full minute
before he gained enough mastery of
himself to open the bank book. On the
first page was this single line:
MAY X BY deposit 900
This was the only entry, and the fact
gave him a moments hope. He opened
the check book-and his hope was gone.
Seven stubs recorded that seven checks
had been drawn to self" four FOR
$500 each, and three for $1,000
Even amid the chill of horror that
now enwrapped him, David clearly un-

Son Files CaVeat
Against Fathers Will

When the District Supreme Court
comes to consider a caveat which has
been filed objecting to the will Of
Charles L. Williams, the claims of a
brother against his foster sister will
be made the subject of adjudication.
Mr. Williams died some time ago,
leaving an estate valued at approx
mately $4,000, which by the terms of
the will becomes the property of Mrs.
Maude Faunce, of whom Mr.. Williams
spoke in his will as his adopted
daughter.
Wallace E. Williams who says he is
the son of the dead man, has filed a
caveat to the will. He declares that
some person unknown to him eXercis-
ed undue influence over his father in
the making of the will and asks the
court to set it aside.

derstood how Morton had permitted him
self to use this fund. Here was a wo-
men with power to DESTROY, demanding
money. Here was money for which ac-
count need not be rendered for months.
In Morton's situation, man of strong
have resigned and told the woman to do
her worst. But David suddenly saw
again Morton's dead face upon the pill
low, and he was startled to see that the
mouth was small, the chin weak. He
now recognized, what he would have
recognized before had the fault not been
hidden among thousand virtues, that
Morton did not have strong will. He
recognized that man might have gen.
ius, and all the virtues save only cour-
age, and yet fail to carry himself honor
ably through a crisis which a man Of
merest mediocrity might weather well.
II exposure came-so temptation
must have spoken to Morton-all that
he had done for his neighbors would
be destroyed, and with It his power
for further service. He could take
$500, buy the woman's silence, and
somehow replace the money before 1t
would be necessary to account for,
his trust. But she had demanded
more, and more. and more; and once
INVOLVED, his only safety, and that
the terror of the day of reckoning be-
fore him.
And then. while he sat chilled,
David's mind began to add mechani-
cally three things together. First,
the engagement Philip had on the
day of his death with the Boys Farm
Committee; at that he would have had
to account for the $4,000, and his en-
bezZlement would have been laid open.
Second, the certainty of exposure from
Lillian Drew, since he had no more
money to ward ii off Third, was 1T
not remarkable that Morton's heart
trouble, with 1.500 minutes in the day
in which to strike, had selected the
single minute he spent in his bath?
AS David struck the sum of these,
there crawled into his heart another
awful fear Would a man who had
not had the courage to face the dan
ger of one exposure have the courage
to face double exposure? Had Nor
toms death been natural, Or e.
Sickened. David let his head fall
forward upon his arms, folded on the
desk-and so he sat rnotionless, as
twilight, then darkness. crept into
the room.

Arkadia Gone With Crew
And Her ST, 900, 900 Cargo

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 5.-According
to information received at the State
Department. there is no longer any
doubt that the steamship Arkadia, her
crew and her cargo valued at nearly
81, ,60G, 900 have been lost. Fishermen
found a water cask, a provision tank,
an oar, and a lifeboat mast on the coast
of Pinar Del Rio, near Esperanza. All
were marked Arkadia. 1t is the belief
that the crew was drowned after leaving
the vessel in an effort to reach shore in
ufeboats.

CHAPTER IL (Continued).

A David came into the street, his
u masterful bearing fell from him
4 like a loosened garment. There
was no disbelieving the prideful
revelation of Lillian Drew-and as he
walked on he found himself breathing,
Thank God for Philips DEATH"
Had Philip lived, with that woman
dangling him at the precipitous edge of
exposure, life would have been only
misery and fear-and sooner or later she
would have given him a push and sover
he would have gone. Death comes to
some men too late for their best fame,
and to some it comes too early. To
Philip Morton it had come in the nick
Of time.
One thought, which at first had been
only a vague wonder, grew greater and
greater till 1t fairly pressed all else
from David's mind-where had Philip
got the 5000 dollars for which Lillian
Drew had sold him three months. sill
ence? He knew that Morton had not a
cent of private fortune, only his income
as head Of the mission, and that of this
income not a dollar had been laid by,
so open had been his purse to the hand
of distress. Morton could not have Dor
roWed the money in the usual manner,
for he had no sufficient security to give;
and sums so great as this one are not
blindly loaned with mere friendship as
the pawn.
David entered Philips study with this
new dread pulsing through him. 1t was
his duty to his friend to know the
truth; and, besides, his suspense was
too acute to let him remain in passive
ignorance. He locked the study door
and began seeking evidence to dispel or
confirm his fear. He took the books
from the safe-he remembered the COM
bination from the summer he had spent
at the mission-and turned them
through, afraid to look at each new
page. But the books dealt only with
small sums for incidental expenses; the
large bills were paid by the treasurer of
