not be able to assume the duties Of the

Should Messrs. Rudolph and Graham
both be candidates for the office, the
contest might result in lining up, not
the friends Of the two men, but the op-
ponents and the friends of the plan Of
merging the Chamber of Commerce, the
Board of Trade. and the Retail Mer-

understood to be opposed to merging,
while Mr.. Graham is reported TO favor
this plan.

Franklyn Yorke.
He had gone to the Van Rensselaers
a long evening going over with reverent
but eager fingers the personal belong
ings of the dead woman.
No smallest article has escaped his
minute search; no scrap Of paper or line
of handwriting evaded his comprehen-
sive scrutiny. And nowhere had he
come across the slightest clue to the
disposal of the money for which she
had so schemed, and deceived, and
planned.
It seemd incredible that the mystery
surrounding her motives and actions
for the last year should have died with
her, but such seemed actually to have
been the case.
Failing in all attempts to find a clue
which would give him any indication of
where to seek for the grim circum-
stance which had so relentlessly hound
ed Victoria Van Rensselaer,, and then
at last done her to death, he deter
mined to seek farther back for the key
to ii all-back to her girlhood home, TO
the time before she had met the man
whose wife she was to be.
That no shadow had fallen on her
happiness up to a bare twelvemonth
before was on proof that 1t had not
been lying in wait for its unconscious
victim, that no blow mad fallen was no
surety that the hand behind it had not
been biding its time.
He went back to his rooms in time to
throw some necessary articles of wear
ing apparel into his suit case. and then,
after a few terse instructions to the re-
luctant Williams, who was loath, as al
ways. to be left behind, he started to
leave.
Then came to him one of those sud
den inspirations for which he could
never fully account. to himself least OF
all He turned to his desk and searched
feverishly among its scattered papers
he was notoriously untidy-until he
came to the one he sought. 1t was
folded piece of newspaper, with rough
edges, just as he had torn 1t from an
extra" five days before.
Thrusting II hastily in his pocket, and
with a hurried parting word to Will
liams, he made a dash for his taxi. and
reached his train with bare half min
ute to spare.
Arriving in Boston the next morning,
he lost no time in makingx his way out
to Brookmede. one of those charming,

HAS GOOD WORD FOR YAQUIS
American Owner of Large Ranch in
Mexico Pays High Tribute to
Indian Tribe.

"The Yaqui Indians in Sonora and
Chihuahua are among the finest races
| ever encountered said James W.
Keyes, proprietor of an extensive
ranch near Rosario, Sonora. They
are energetic. Industrious and of high
moral character. The MeXtcans have
never given them a square deal, and
the Yaquis as consequence have al
ways been implacable enemies of the
sIexican government. But the Indians
are fair and l believe that if the Uni
ted States were to recognize the
Huerta government the Yaouis would
submit peaceably. In 1885 there was
a difference between the Indians and
the Mexican government. The Yaquis
were up in arms. Father Percivault,
a Catholic priest, was using his best
efforts to bring about peace. He was
selected by the government to act as
its emissary to treat with the Yaquis
Meantime the head of the Yaquis
had sent his son to treat with the
Mexicans, and the representative of
the Indians was murdered. Father
Percivault went into the Yaqui coun-
try before the Indians had been ac-
quainted with the murder of their en-
issary 1t was on1' by strategy that
the priest got out of the country alive.
The Yaquis have the greatest respect
for law and are fair in their dealings.

it for the beauty of seventeenth cen

HARD TO PREVENT GAMBLING
Veteran English Sportsman Calls It
an "ineradioabie Foible of HUI

Betting is an ineradicahle foible
Of human nature" Thus declares the
earl of Durham, who, being fiftv-eight
years old, and from his youth pa
tron of the sport OF kings" speaks
as an authority. Lord Durham,
while declaring that betting is not
crime, yet admits that it is not
virtue.

ment and an expensive amusement"

Lord Durham has lately led In 3

tisements in the English newspapers,
and to that end fathered bill in the
house OF lords.
Whether or not the betting instinct
is, as Lord Durham says, an inerad-
icable foible." it has manifested itself
in all ages and among all peoples. In

Why Beef ls Dear.

Many cargoes of beef from the Ar
Igentine Republic are arriving in q
ular shipments at Brooklyn piers, an
well as along the New York water
front, says the market reporter of The
Brooklyn Times. The beef is every
whit al good as the domestic or; H.,
from which only an expert can distin-
guish it, and it sells at wholesale for
3 Or 4 cents a pound less. On the face
of it, this looks like a boon to ce5i
sumers; but it is not. for the consum-
er pays the same price at retail for.
domestic as for imported beef. Per-
haps the retail dealer may, too. for
neither knows whether the meat sold
over the counter came from the. prai-5
RE or the pampas. Marketmen assert
that the trust now controls virtually
all Argentine beef shipped here, AS
well as the domestic product.

tice is allowed by the inefficiency 1T

Director of Agricultural Extension,

ducts. Some people place all the blame
on the farmer, others blame h pack

lions will reveal he fact that no one

bitterly abused above mentioned par
ties ts really responsible for the pres

mand.
Facing a Famine.
For the first time in the history Of
modern civilization u people are fac
ing what appears to be a near beef
famine. 1t has been gradually facing
us ever since 1907. Between Jan. !,
1907, and Jan. /, 1913, u supply OF
beef cattle fell off some 15,S70.000 head,
or about 80 per cent, while our popula-
ton increased about 100000 people.
This would not be such a serious mat
ter from the consumers standpoint If
it applied just to the United States.
"A careful study of the beef cattle sit
uation in all beef-producing countries
clearly indicates that Lnere ID a. Worln-
wide shortage, as in but two cocn-
tries, namely, Australia and France,
has beef production kept pace with In
crease in population since 1900.
How Exports Fell OF.
Between 1906 and 1912, our exports
in live cattle fell off about 93 per cent,
our exports in fresh beef fell off 81
per cent and our imports of live cattle
Increased from 10000 head in 1905 to
1926, 900 in 1912. In December, 1903, the
reserve stock of beef in the coolers of
this country amounted to 265. 100000
pounds, in 1910 it had diminished to
1876, 100000 poundS and in 1872 it was
estimated to be but so1ne 100000 900
pocnds. These figures are worthy OF
careful consideration by both the pro-
