a large denomination representing
$4,000 had been taken. There was
no definite clew to the robber or the
money.
At the end of a week, however, the
county sheriff received mysterious
tip by telegraph. 1t told him that the
telltale handkerchief bearing the ini-
tial "R" and false beard found in
the bank belonged to a certain Ben
jamin Rudd and named his residence.
1t further stated that Fordham res
turant keeper, if confronted with the
burglar, would recognize him as a
stranger with a mysterious satchel
whom he had seen the evening of the
burglary.
Adrian Wilton lost good deal of
his faith in the reformatory process
as appertaining to Burglar Ben when
the next morning he was sent for by
Rudd. The latter grinned at him be-
hind strong iron bars.

Burglar Ben practically directed
the case. He dictated the policy to
pursue. Adrian was amazed at his
clear and forcible outline of evil

Adrian made good use of the evil

that the false beard, worn by any
body, would so obscure the natural IT,

that the initiated handkerchief might

A favorable report probably will be

This bill was introduced by Senator

termyer. The attempt to revive il yes

several weeks aroused some surprise.

the committee adjourned. as to whether
its proceedings had been regular. Some
of the members declared that there
was at no time a quorum present when
business was transacted.
A motion was made - take up the bill,
and to exert every effort to have II
enacted into law at this session of Con-
gress. This motion prevailed. but in the
informal discussion concerning II in the
committee, 1t was made very clear that
majority of the members realized that
the bill could not be passed, although
they agreed that II was wise to make a
formal show of trying to get favorable
action by the Senate.
Chairman Owen said after the commit

lied to report the bill favorably. Other
members of the committee denied this.
and explained that Senator Owen was
simply directed to frame a report in sup
port OF the bill and submit it later to
the full committee for consideration. One
member of the committee declared tina:
II the chairman made an attempt to make
a favorable report to the Senate, as a re-
suit Of any authorization claimed on ac-
count of the meeting yesterday. he would
make a point of order that the report
was not authorized. 1t was evident that
Senator Owen did not construe the direc-
tion given to him by the committee as
some of the other members had con-
strued II.
Senator Weeks, who is opposed to the
bill, said that II a favorable report were
to be made to the Senate on the bill he
would reserve the right to have the re-
port submitted to the full committee and
time allowed for making an adverse mi !
nority report.

ANSWERS ARGUMENT
OF LIQUOR DEALERS

Senator Morris Sheppard, of Texas
made a brief speech In the Senate yes
terday, repudiating the argument put for
ward against the proposed constitutional
amendment for nationwide prohibition,
that it would be blow at State rights
and local seif-government. Senator
Sheppard characterized such an argu-
ment. coming from the liquor interests.
as "blasphemous."
He declared the time had not long
passed when the representatives OF the
liquor interests contended that legisla-
ton by the States and municipalities in
favor Of prohibition was a blow at the
nation and an invasion OF interstate
commerce. Now the argument has shift

that legislation by the nation would be

The Senator from Texas praised the

Congress TO consider a resolution for a

that the question was not partisan
