WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 30
The season for important annual
business at Washington is at its very
height. The Congress is jamming
ahead as it best can. Nhe White
House oEces are congested with thS
cases Vc divers SORTS that under me-
cessity or expedfency must have the
presidents attention. There is a
rush of routine matters in all govern
ment branches. Numerous great
controversies so insepelable from
fegrsratfon and admipistration at the
federal seat are coming to q point
This weeks notable achievements
include the veto OF President Wilson
t.: the immigration act; the breaking
of the silence on the Democratic side
of the Senate in the discussion OF the
ihfp purchase bill; the threat that
Congress will try to pass the immi-
cation bill over the presidents veto;
and that the signing by the president

come before him. II schedules are
followed fifteen other appropriation
bills must come before him before
March 4.
The president also signed the bill
creating the Rocky Mountain Ma
tional Park in Colorado.

visitors each year. He hears them

rapds, and learns to be a patient lit

however. formal hearings at the
White House are quite rare. Scores,
nevertheless. have been received
t..ere during the last ten days to
voice their protest against the new
immigration bill requiring that Inn
migrants to the United States here
after shall be able to read and write.
The most important hearing for this
cause lasted three hours during
which time the president listened
to the spokesman Of 500 men and
women who packed the historic east
room OF the White House. The
speakers were labor leaders, public
lists, social workers, students and
others representing many interests In
life, most Of them conteuding for or
against the literacy test. Following
his usual policy at the end Of the su-
dience President Wilson thanked the
men and women for their argu-
ments, hut they received no positive
assurance of his stand on the ques-
ton. nor did anyone else, until the
message was sent to Congress Thurs
day. This was the last day for ac-
ton on his part, as. unless the bill
was signed or vetoed by midnight
Thursday 1t became law without
his signature.

Legislature this week passed Judge
Homer B. Woods's bill empowering
the courts of this state to release up
on parole or probation certain minor
offenders from punishment, or i'm
prisonment, and providing conditions
for such release,and parole, 1t created
new epoch in the court annals Of
West Virginia, and gave an impetus
OF encouragement to the youth who
out the stain and start anew a course
in life that will invite confidence and
fruitful opportunity.
Only one change was made in the
bill after being presented to the SOL
ons and that was to increase the age
from Is to 81 years. The new law is
a short one, and is here given in Its
entirety:
Section /. In any case in which a
person under the age OF n years is
convicted before any court of this
state, OF any offense not capital, IL
1t appears to the court before whom
he or she is 80 convicted, regard be-
ing had to the youth, character and
environments OF the offender, to the

ker death. Mrs. Yeager was IS years

Senators and representatives who
are interested in the passage Of the
rivers and harbors appropriations are
beginning to get uneasy. The rea-
sons for their troubles are not hard
to find. They are uncertain whether
the rivers and harbors bill can be
passed this session. Every day which
lis spent in the filibuster over the
sfpn- purchase pflr makes them the
more dubious. Such Is the anxiety
Of some Of the supporters of the riv-
ers and harbors bill that they may
Eventually vote to drop the ship
purchase bill. II the senators who
are in favor Of this measure could
be sure that there would be an extra
session, they would not be averse to
letting the bill go over to the extra
session. But there is no absolute as.
surance that there will be one. al

was determined to enter the house and
have thorough look into Zudora's
room. He found an unlocked window
in the rear, and through this he enter
ed the house. Everybody was out, in
Guiding the servant. He could not
have found better opportunity.
He knew where ZudOras room was,
having once made midnight visit to
it. They had tricked him out of a fine
lot of gems, and he had not yet re-
covered from the chagrin of this fact.
To this day he had not the least idea
where they had hidden the stones. He
was certain that the gems were not in
the house at present. Doubtless they
had been disposed of secretly.
The first thing that welcomed his
gaze was the battered old trunk. The
scorched leather at once convinced him
that this had come from the house of
Hassam Ali He knelt beside it and
threw back the lid. He eyed curiously
the spangles and MULE of the old cir
Gus days. But the folded sheet Of pa
per interested him far more. And
when he spread it out and discovered
that it was practically complete sur
vey of the mine in Africa he was de-
lighted. He already knew the defines
of the African property. So far as he
was concerned it was of no intrinsic
value, but it would eventually be
valuable to Zudora. So he stuffed 1t
into his pocket and went on with his
search. Then he came upon the false
bottom to the trunk, and here he found
the documents which completed the

possession Zudora would lose her case

Neither the girl nor her advisers had

Baird dryly. "They nearly had me
there one day."
Hunt went to work rapidly and skill
fully and within the stipulated time
presented an appearance that was near
enough to that of the real artist to fool
the ordinary eye.
"Grcat work." cried Baird. 81 tell

At 1 that afternoon Hunt, armed
with his forged introduction. presented
himself at the front door of the Du Val

requested to be seated. Then the foot
man took the letter upstairs to. his mis-,

French nobleman but twice, and it
flattered her greatly to believe that

than this, the famous artist had once
noted her singular beauty and never
would be happy until he had put it
upon canvas.
Thus Hunts initial reception was
most cordial. Nine. Du Val would be
