CHAPTER WI.

The Coffin. Shaped Box.

After Capt. Tom Phinney rejoined
the two girls, he was not long In COM
pretending that his and their moods
had become reversed, in some unac-
countable way, during the few hours
OF their separation. Where he had
been weighted down by no very press
ing anxiety, and they Enthusiastically
had been, he was now taciturn under
stress of an acute and growing men,
tai perturbation. while his companions
apparently were care-free and happy.
The change was most noticeable in
Jessie Willard, for beneath Delias gay
humor there still ran an undercurrent
OF gravity.
However, even Jessie remained more
or less distract; but that her thoughts
were not unpleasant her glowing coun-
tenance and an unbelievable light In
her eyes attested.
AS the car drew up at the piazza
where Tom was waiting. Jessie clapped
her hands and cried enthusiastically:
Let's combine breakfast and lunch

to ourselves. There Is nothing so tire

KITCHENER SAYS WAR
TO LAST THREE YEARS
War Lord Comments on Small Repre-
sentation of British. but Says
1t Will Pick Up.

The European war will last three years
maybe longer-and it will result In the
defeat of the Germans. This is according
to Lord Kitchener. as quoted by Irwin 5.
Cobb in an interview printed in the cur
rent issue of the Saturday Evening Post
Lord Kitchener, while strong in his
conviction that the result can go only
one way, does not Underrate the strength
or bravery of the Kaisers army. The
war will never come to an end. he pre-
diets, until the German hosts have been
defeated decisively on land and sea. He
says one Of the defects OF army of the al
lied powers is the small representation of
British fighters, but says this defect Is
coon to be remedied.
The campaign OF the Germans in the
west has proved a failure" Lord KitCh-
ener is quoted as saying. 1T will be-
come more and more a failure as time
passes. When an army OF invasion
ceases to invade, that army has lost Its
principal function and has failed In It's
principal object. When that army hides
itself in trenches and fights at long range
It is doing nothing but waste Itself. and
especially Is this true when that army
having reached its maximum Of strength
and aggressiveness and efficiency months
before, is now losing all those essentials.

.DOWNEY SAYS DISTRICT
GOT $4,000 TOO MUCH
Market Rentals Should Have Been d.
vided Since 1883 and Gone to
Government Before.

The District has had improper use OF
$4,000 belonging to the United States
through a mistake in disposition OF
rentals OF property leased by the wash
ington Market Company. according to the
decision of Comptroller OF the Treasury
Downey, yesterday. The question of the
ownership of these funds is one Of long
standing.
The United States should have been
credited with the rental from the fiscal
year 1879 to July IS, 1855, on the books Of
the Treasury instead of ''the general
fund, District of Columbia" and moneys
collected after 1883 should have been en-
tered to the credit of the United States
and District in equal parts, the comp
troller ruled.
1t Is the opinion OF District officials
that this decision will result in setting
aside excess revenues Of the District for
the payment of this account to the
United States, and an act Of Congress
will be necessary to decide the course
to be pursued.
The comptroller only has Jurisdiction
over the amount paid in this quarter.
This amount is s.. S75, and the Comptroller
directs this be paid into the Treasury
and posted to the credit Of the United
States and District in equal parts.

KNOX FILES BRIEF IN
CASE OF HARRY THAW
States Insanity Prevents His Return
to New York Under Con-
stituGon.

Former Secretary OF State Philander
c. Knox, who has been retained by the
Thaw family 10 argue the constitutional
question involved in the Harry X. Thaw
case, filed his brief in the clerks office
OF the United States Supreme Court yes
terday. Mr.. Knox relies on the follow
ing propositions:
That under the Constitution one can
not be extradited unless charged with
crime in the State from which he fled;
that by the New York statute the act Of
an insane person is declared not to be 4
crime and that Thaw is. as between HIM
self and New York, an adjudiCated luna
tic, the courts Of New York having so
decided five times in the last six years
during all Of which time New York has
kept him confined in a mad house as
dangerous lunatc.
Mr.. Knox points out that these facts
appearing on the face OF the record, the
United States courts cannot overlook
their obvious legal effect and deal with
Thaw on any other theory than that Of
insanity. He dismisses the contention
that Thaw's wealth has been used to
scandalize the administration OF justice
in New York, by pointing out that in
every legal proceeding instituted by Thaw
for his release; Thaw utterly failed and
the State succeeded in retaining him in
custody. This, Mr.. Nnox observes, does
not seem to indicate the power Of wealth
The only legal victory, it is pointed out
that Thaw has won was in New Hamp-
shire, where the court held that New
York Gould not claim he was insane for
the purpose of confinement in mad
house, and sane for the purpose OF pun
ishing him for walking out OF its open
door. 1t is from this decision that New
York appealed to the Supreme Court. The
case Is fixed for argument next Monday.

Creates Wide Discussion

Washington, March 5.-News of the sit- uation in Brazil created much discussion In official circles here today. While of- hcials were more or less in the dark as to the exact cause and nature of the outbreak, in some quarters it was said that the news was not unexpected. Gen. erally. however, the opinion was ex- pressed that the trouble would be short lived
 Attention was called particularly to discontent in the north of the republic and to the fact that Pernambuco had been upset about a year ago when cer- tain acts of the federal government were resented by the state as an assumption by the federal power of unconstitutional authority. Ii was said, too. that con- siderable feeling exists also in other states over the state rights question.
 Discomfort growing out of transition in financial aff2irs, due to depreciation In the rubber market. and to the break ing up by the United States of the cof- fee valorization system, pointed to by some as a possible reason for much of the existing unrest.
