ton for a gigantic scheme of world.
wide understanding of the rights OF
neutral nations in time of war is ex.
pected to be laid tomorrow, when the
special commission of the governing
board of the Pan-American Union
again meets. For 1t is planned to
extend the scope of the earlier plans
to define the neutrality laws of the
Western Hemisphere, by inviting all
nations of the earth not now at war
TO join the American republics in a
huge convention at Washington, to SET
tie for all time this most pressing
question of neutral rights. And the
scope does not end here, for it is
planned to invite the warning nations
to join in the agreement at the end of
the war, and thus complete a world
understanding.
This stupendous plan Is proposed by
the government of Venezuela and the
author of the suggestion is Gen. Ig.
nacio Andrade, now Minister of For
eign Affairs, and formerly President
of Venezuela. The proposal is the
biggest and broadcast that has come
out Of the feeling among neutral ma
tons generally that the war in Europe
points the need for definite determi-
nation of neutral rights and a revision
of the rules of international law on
neutrality.
The proposal was submitted late in
December, through the Venezuelan
minister at Washington, DR.. Santos A.
Dominica, to the governing board of
the Pan-American Union. The board
will refer the proposal to the special
commission recently created upon
motion of DR.. Romulo S. Naon, the
ambassador from Argentina. The q
nations of North, South and Central
America, with the exception of Next
co, unanimously voted to establish
he special commission.
Dr. Dominica, the Venezuelan Minis
.er here, has been informally consult
ing with the members of the diplo-
matte corps from all neutral nations
in Washington, and with |
those of neutral European and Asiatic |
nations, and has acquainted them with !
the details of the Andrade idea for the |
conference. AS result, dip |
lomats have been consulting their
home governments and have informed |
them of the plan.
1t is not the purpose of the origina-
tors of the idea to seek to lay down
new rules of international law, or
neutrality code, that would be binding
upon belligerents who are not repre-
sented at the conference. The idea Is
that the neutrals shall first hold their
great conference in Washington and
consider all the problems arising out
Of the war that affect them. The plan
S to reach an agreement along definite
ines as to what should be done to
clearly define the rights of neutrals.
After this is done, and after the war J
n Europe is over, the work of the
conference would be
placed before a Congress of Nations

raj code, representing the digested

That's right" replied Bowen heart

Now forget all about that stone,''
advised Poe in parting. You are
blameless, and don't let it worry you.
We will meet here at ten tomorrow
They went to their separate hotels,
and before going to bed Christopher
Poe sent cable to his friend Burns.
Was the name Of the suspect in
the Farmers National burglary
Belasco Bowen? / remember he
posed as a society chap. When
did he sail from New York?
On returning from an interesting
excursion with Bowen to the fish
market next day, Christopher Poe
found the following cipher message
awaiting him.
Right. Saw newspaper notice
last month that after a house
party at Van Wendt's he went
aboard the same boat with them.
Having torn up the reassuring note,
Christopher Poe went to his room,
and sat for an hour concentrating on
the missing Duchess Diamond. Then
he sent word to Bowen inviting him to
dinner that night.
Poe turned the talk to a glowing ap-
probation of Naples after the meal,
and before he and Bowen parted it
had been decided that they would take
the trip together.
At Naples Christopher Poe managed
so that he occupied room adjoining
Bowen's and, making his interests
conform with the younger mans, he
was soon on an intimate footing with
him.
If Bowen had the Duchess Diamond,
which Poe believed he had, surely the
possession of it seemed to bother him
little He went about the business of
enjoying himself as thoroughly as any
American tourist and never showed
the slightest degree Of nervousness,
always seeking Poe's company and
ever ready for diversion.
They had spent an interesting, ex-
citing week at Naples, when one night

Bowen received a cablegram which he
tore up and threw in the CRATE in the
presence of his companion.
Good news?" asked Poe.
NO; bad news. I've got to go back
home to tend to business replied
Bowen.
i've about made up my mind to sail
on the Princess day after tomorrow, !"
said Poe promptly.
Good. Then shall have the pleas
ure of your company to New York.
Bowen sat in thoughtful silence for
a minute, and suddenly remarked:
by the way, want to take home
a couple of bottles of that Barbera
we saw in that little wine-shop the
other day. / wonder if it would be
open tonight?'
I'VE might stroll over and take q
chance suggested Poe, anxious not
to lose sight of his companion now
that sailing-time was near.
Luckily the shop was open, and
Bowen purchased three bottles Of
choice wine privately put up by the
dealer in squat, thick-necked bottles.
Wen drink these on the boat, to
avoid paying duty on them, remarked
Bowen. his eyes caressing the shapely
bottles.
Il volunteer my help" said Poe;
"guess I'll buy bottle or two myself.
With their purchases the pair
strolled back to the hotel, and before
going to bed that night Christopher
Poe sat long in silent contemplation
before the heavy wine bottles.
An idea was smoldering in his mind.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1915-09-24

So far he had nothing tangible against
Bowen except his record, as affirmed
by Burns, his interest in urging the
Van Wendts to go on the wild Fourth
OF July excursion, and his awkward
movement which showered Miss Van
Wendt with sparks. Since then Poe
had seen nothing to substantiate his
suspicion, and he was surprised that
Bowen could act innocence so per
fectly. II he really had the diamond,
how did he figure to get it past the
Customs in New York? In Bowen's
manner he found no confession of
guilt; the young fellow acted naturally
and confidently.
Placing the wine-bottles in the bot
tom Of his steamer trunk, Christopher
Poe went to bed. Next day both were
occupied in making preparations for
that they met. After dinner, as they
were sitting opposite each other in
the quaint, cool lobby Of their little
Italian hotel, Christopher Poe sud
denly glanced down at his left hand.
How'd / get that?" he cried, lifting
his little finger, to show the ragged
nail, torn jaggedly across. exposing
the quick
He fumbled in his pocket with his
other hand.
Got a knife?" he asked abruptly,
glancing at Bowen.
mo, not here. What's the matter?"
"Tve torn my nail. / used to carry
one of those nailclippers. They're
handy. You don't happen to have a
pair?"
mo-" answered Bowen, absently,
then he leaned forward with interest.
why, yes, by George, guess have!"
he cried II seldom use them He
slipped his fingers into an upper waist
coat-pocket and produced compact
steel nail-clipper.
Thanks, very much" replied Poe
wincing bit from the irritation as he
worked at his nail.
There, it's all right now. Those are
handy things to have" He examined
the heavy, sharp blades.
Il find them useful, but / usually
forget I'm carrying Them" replied
Bowen quickly, reaching out, and
dropping the nail-clippers into his
pocket nonchalantly.
Next day they sailed early on a
gigantic, fast boat for New York, both
evidently glad to bid goodbye to vaca-
ton and get back to real work.
Belasco Bowen seemed particularly
elated, but in the afternoon, as the
ship struck into the sea and a pro-
nounced rolling motion was felt, he
retired to his stateroom, which he oc-
cupied alone. Christopher Poe re-
manned sitting in the smoking-room,

thinking over the disappearance of the
Duchess Diamond, and piecing to-
gether bits of circumstantial evidence
against Bowen.
Half an hour later he strolled up to
the wireless room on the promenade
deck, and to his surprise, as he en-
tered, found Belasco Bowen just hand
ing over message to the operator.
Bowen glanced up sharply at Poe's
entrance, then smiled easily, remark
ing:
Il was afraid I'd be a bit sea-sick,
but couldn't stand it in my berth, so
l strolled up on deck"
Poe had fieeting glimpse of the
wireless message, as the operator
counted the words, and he was thrilled
to find it written in cipher
For the remainder of the day he
strolled about on deck with Bowen,
and just before bedtime drank with
him one Of the interesting black bot
ties of Barbera, finding it excellent.
DO we stop at Quarantine to pick
up the doctor?" asked Poe idly, as like
all travellers they anticipantly dis
cussed their arrival.
mo-" answered Bowen quickly.
But we slow down to pick him up,
and usually the Customs men come
aboard there"
"Oh. yes. they row alongside in a
boat and climb up a pilots ladder,
remember
Usually just opposite the little
Quarantine rock added Bowen. I'VE
run slow for about fifteen minutes,
coasting just past Quarantine
