Votes on Night Admitted.

He permitted Jesse P. Crawford to
put to him the question as to whether
or not the representative of the Cleve-
land Park organization, Immediately
after the organization had been admit
ted, had not been permitted to vote on
a motion brought up in the discussion
of prohibition at the same meeting of
the federation. While this was admit
ted, several members justified this ex-
ercise of franchise, inasmuch as the
federation had admitted the organiza-
tion, no matter how irregularly.
David L. Selke then introduced a
resolution proposing the withdrawal of
the organization from the federation
at the close of the fiscal year. Mr..
Selke had taken no part in the pre-
ceding discussion. He spoke to his
resolution, declaring that the present
issue had nothing whatever to do with
his resolution; that he had, in the be-
ginning, doubted the wisdom of ANAL
gamation with the federation, and that
he considered his alarms confirmed by
the logic of events.
DIR. Bryant promptly urged that the
resolution not be adopted, but referred
to the executive committee. He did not
consider the federation entirely a hope
less organization. but merely that it
needed to mend it's ways, do it's busi-
ness in a regular way and perform its
proper functions as centralized body
representative of all citizens on general
topics of community interests. The
resolution was referred as suggested
Mr.. Selke consenting on the theory
that there was no need of haste.
Plans Not to Be Revealed.
A. E. Dowell, chairman of the special
committee on bridges. asked If the spe- :
cial committee had been relieved when
the chair made appointment of com
tee of neighboring citizens organiza-
tions for the Improvement of Klingle
Ford and Calvert Street bridges He
was assured by the chair that the
functions of his committee had in no
way been curtailed or impeded, and
tha. the secret plans OF the special
committee need not in any degree be
revealed to the representatives of
other organizations.
The organization considered resolu-
ton favoring health inspection in pub
lie schools, not by the health officers
of the board of education, as now, but
under the direction of the public health
officer of the District of Columbia The
resolution was committed. when DR..
Bryant excused the fact that the sub
urban schools are inspected only half
as often urban schools on the score
that the health force of the board Of
education had not been increased for
many years, owing to failure of pro-
vision by Congress. A resolution was
adopted asking that the suburban
schools within the territory Of the or
ganization be given full health inspec-
ton as is done in the urban schools.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Westlake
was adopted protesting against any
project to fill in Klingle Ford VALLEY
II was explained that the Commission
ars have called a hearing on the prono-
sition of some real estate promoters to
-emove the hill opposite the entrance

THIRD EPISODE
The Vanishing Jewels.

Banging away at my typewriter the
next day, in Kennedy's laboratory, |
was startled by the sudden, insistent
ringing of the telephone near me.
Hello" l answered, for Craig was
at work at his table, trying still to ex-
tract some clue from the slender evil

Craig bent down and cranked the en-
CINE. II started on the first spin.
"See;" he exclaimed. There wasn't
anything, after ALL"
He took a step toward the taxicab
"Mr. Kennedy-look Quit" cried
Elaine.
Craig turned But it was too late.
The rough-looking fellow had awak-
ened to life. Suddenly he stepped up
behind Kennedy with blackjack. AS
the heavy weight descended Craig
crumpled up on the ground uncon-
scious.
With scream, Elaine turned and
started to run. But the chauffeur
seized her arm.
Say, bo," he asked of the rough fell
low, what does Clutching Hand want
with her? Quick! There's another
cab likely to be along in a moment
with that fellow Jameson in it,"
The rough fellow, with an oath,
seized her and dragged her into the
taxicab. GO ahead!" he growled, in
dicating the road.
And away they sped, leaving Ken
nedy unconscious on the side OF the
road, where we found him.
What are we to do?" l asked help
lessly Of Kennedy, when we had at
last got him on his feet.
His head still ringing from the force
of the blow of the blackjack, Craig
stopped down, then knelt in the dust
of the road, then ran ahead a bit,
where it was somewhat muddy.
(Which way-which way?" he NUT
tered TO himself.
l thought perhaps the blow had af-
fected him and leaned over to see
what he was doing. Instead, he was
studying the marks made by the tire
of the Clutching Hand cab.
More slowly now and carefully, we
proceeded, for mistake meant losing
the trail Of Elaine
We came to another crossroads and
the driver glanced at Craig. "Stop!"
he ordered.
In another instant he was down in

they went. the only thing preventing
the limousine from escaping being the
fear of pursuit by traffic police If the
driver let out speed. They were con-

ahead to be out of danger of having
Kennedy overhaul them. AS for us,
we followed as best we could, on up

What had really happened, as we
learned later from Elaine and others,
was that when the crossroads was

to an accomplice stationed there, ac-

He was up and off in a moment, be-

after. We had got out of the cab,
and followed him as, down to the
very shore of a sort of cove or bay,
he went. There lay rusty, discard

tank the footprints seemed to go
right down the sand and into the
waves, which were slowly obliterating
them. Kennedy gazed out as II to

had told the chauffeur to stop. There

The man put his hand to his ear, as
if only half comprehending.
(Which way did the big car go?" re-
peated Kennedy.
The hobo approached the taxicab
sullenly, as if he had a grudge against
cars in general.
One question after another elected
little that could be construed as intel

to see, he would have found out that,

the driver to catch the answering sign,

indicated, picking the most likely road.
AS the chauffeur was about to start
he stalled his engine.
"Hurry!" urged Craig, exasperated
at the delays
The driver got out and tried to crank
the engine. Again and again he turned
it over, but somehow it refused to
start. Then he lifted the hood and be-

impatiently jumping out and bending
over the engine, too.
The driver shrugged his shoulders.

frowned.

Precious minutes were speeding

characteristic energy, Kennedy put the

about the anxiety of the pretty girl

KAUFF MAY PLAY WITH GIANTS WHEN
 PEACE IS DECIDED

New York, Dec. 17.-There was a ru- nor about the Waldorf-Astoria yester- day that Harry N. Hampstead, the owner of the Giants, was willing to sell the New York club to MT. Sim clair. MT. Hampstead stated that while he had received no definite offer for the club, he would sell it if the of fer was alluring. He admitted that he was open to proposals. It is stated by MT. Hempstead's friends that he esti- as valued at g, 900, 000- The surprise of yesterdays peace conference, it was runored among the club owners last night, will be the offer of MT. Sinclair for the New York franchise. Manager John J. McGraw of the Giants, who has been i'll with grip, was at the Waldorf yesterday and stated that he knew nothing about the proposed sale of the club.
 Manager McGraw has his eyes open for baseball business, however, and if the club owners of the three leagues come to an agreement today McGraw will make bid for Benny Kauff, the leading hitter and base runner of the, Federal, league, who now belongs to the Brooklyn Federal league club.
 Kauf was signed by the Giants last summer when the Boston Braves were playing at the Polo Grounds. He donned a Giant uniform, but the Bos- ton club refused to play the game with Kaun in the lineup. This action by the Boston club was taken on the suggestion of President Jot@, K. Tener of the National league.
 As it was against the terms of the National Commission to play an out law player, the Giants had to release kauh.@ but now that peace is in sight, McGraw is willing to take the star outfelder for the Giants. He now has an understanding with Kauff, and if, peace is declared today Kauff is ex- pected to sign with the New York
 Kauf would be a big help tosthe Giants Next season it is expected that George Burns will have fully re- covered from the injury which inter- fered with his base running and bat t1ng last season. With Burns and kaun in the o1tfe1d and a new out ialelder whom MeGraw has in mind, 1t IS believed that the New York club next season will have a hard-hittfne outdeld such as the Giants have beeI famous for ih years past

MAY RECOMMEND SEVERAL MEN FOR
 YALE COACH JOB

New York, Dec. 1.-The committee appointed by the Yale Athletic Asso- citation to name a man to coach Che Yale football team, held another meeting last night but failed to agree on any man for the position Q The meeting was held at the University Club.
 Vance c. Mccormick, one of the members of the committee, said that no man had been selected for the pO- sition- Our committee was appoint ed by the Yale Athletic Association he said, ''to make recommendation in regard to the best man for the po- s1t1on. When we agree on that man we shall report back to the associa- ton and it will be the association and not we who will make the ap- pointment and the announcement of his appointment.
 We are only in the preliminary skirmishes now and it will be sOnie time before we will have finished our work. Many men must be con sidered, and to decide on the best one available. is quite task and takes considerable time"
 MT. Mccormick said it is probable that the committee, which is com posed of J. R. Fitzpatrick, s. B. Thorne and himself, will recommend more than one man for the job.
