USURPS LEGISLATIVE POWER

WASHINGTON, Aug S.-Senator
Cummings today charged President
Wilson with forcing Democrats in
the house and senate to adopt legisla
ton against their judgment, and told
opponents OF the child labor bill who
contend it is unconstitutional that the
Presidents assumption of legislative
functions was a greater menace to tho
constitution than the passage of any
measure.
There has not been a single impor.
tant measure passed since 1913 in
which Democratic congressman have
MOI felt the heavy hand of the eXecu-
tive" said the senator. "Those sena-
tors who see an invasion of state
rights and menace in the passage of
the present bill ignore he graver vio-
lations of the constitution exhibited
every day during the session"
Senator Robinson asked Senator
Cummings to be more specific in his
complaints, but the senator from iowa
declared he had takei up the subject
only because Senator Hardwick had
previously asserted that President
Wilson had violated his conception of
the constitution in urging this legisla,
tion.

PORTLAND, Maine, Aug. S.-No
further trace had been reported early
today of two vessels believed by the
coast guard lookout who sighted them

the Bay Of Fundy, and close to British
territorial waters or the provinces OF

The possibility that one of the YES

much interest and resulted in a close
watch along the coasts Of Maine and
Massachusetts throughout yesterday
and last night. The Cross Island out

rivaling methods of richer empires
than their own, had developed as best
it could each branch of the service
approved in modern warfare. Each
had it's little corps of air craft, each
it's miniature navy, its submarines, it's
destroyers.
Full details Of all this Roleau did
not know. He knew well enough,
none the less, that escape for him lay
by water and not by land.
/ 1t was night when he approached
the wharves along the Grahoffen har-
Dor front. At their anchorage lay the
dim gray bulks of the few battleships
belonging to Cortislaw. At one of the
docks signs of activity attracted him.
A yacht, long, clean-lined vessel, a
thoroughbred in all details, beauti-
fully equipped and apparently well
manned and Differed, was getting
ready to set out. Roleau looked at
it closely. It bore the royal ensign.
In truth, it was none less than the
yacht Of royalty itself.
Good morrow, SIR" said Roleau to
the captain of the yacht, before whom
he presented himself little later. 81
see you are setting out. Would you

| yourself to leave this place"
The captain looked at this intruder

| favor.
This boat is not for charter" said
he. I'VE are leaving, it is true, but
| we offer no passage for the public"
Nor am I under charter for the
public" rejoined Roleau calmly. 81
am in high service. None the less.
| am ready to pay for transportation
from this place. I am careless where
you may be sailing. Ask me not too
many questions, and I will not inquire
| of you, my dear captain, why you are
now sailing with the kings yacht"
This bold chance thrust went home.
Roleau suspected now that the cap
tain was sailing under orders of his
man hesitated now.

refugees"
| "Can me no refugee!" said Roleau
firmly. 81 tell you, am on business
of Importance, and care little where
you go, save only that you take me
hence, can pay"
| By this time Roleau was aboard.
| The captain neither welcomed him
nor repulsed him. He only shrugged
his shoulders, and accepted some
coins which Roleau placed in his
hand.

'"In the kings name!" one man
cried.
It was, indeed, in the kings name,
for now, shallow though was his dis

the evasive coins. Hurried inquiry
had convinced Sachio that Roleau had
made his escape in this direction.

the singing of the air pumps and saw
the gray opaque wall of the water, not
below them, but around them, above
them, as at length the craft, obedient
to the command of it's officer, slid out
from it's slip into the harbor and head
ed forward after what had been
pointed out to it as it's prey.
Part Of the time submerged, most Of
the time just breaking the surface with
the deck, they sped on.
When at length, with matches open
and access given to the deck, they
sped on, unsubmerged, close upon
their quarry, none of them at first
heard the curious humming which
came on from the rear, none for the
moment saw the vast shape which ap-
