THE CATASTROPHE OF THE SIM.
PLON EXPRESS.


1t had been many a day since Paris
had been fed upon such sensation
as that which was offered it in the
of the guillotinc by the substitution of
Valgrand, the actor, for the great
criminal. Juve, the best detective in
France, took Il grim oath that he
would devote his life to bringing to
justice the elusive murderer. His
journalist friend, Fandor, called at his
Office early upon the day that Fan
tomas was to have paid the penalty
of his crime, the murder of Lord Belt
ham.
81 haven't the least idea where Fan
tomas will turn up next Juve frank
ly confessed to Fandor. whether he
is to be found hidden away with some
of his criminal associates, or again
masquerading as gentleman in high
society, L can't say. Lady Beltham
has been absent from her villa at
Neuilly for several days. Only the
gardener has been left there. under
stand that she is boarding in a convent
near by, but can't find out for sure"
"Watch for her and you'll catch
Fantomas," declared the reporter.
'"Thats' how we got him before, and
that's how Wen find him this time"
Hes the cleverest criminal I've
ever had to deal with. Any man who
has the audacity to rob Princess So
mia Danidoff. murder Lord Beltham,
and trick Valgrand is Il power not to
be underestimated. What this next
move will be is as much a mystery
as the method by which he effected
his escape"
Juve did not have to wait more than
a minute for news of Fantomas. He
had not ceased specializing about t
when messenger brought special
report from the chief of police. It
read:
'The body of woman has been
found in the office of Dr. Chalek.
AS the face has been completely dis
figured, identification seems impOs-
sible. In the clothing some papers
were found addressed to Lady Belt
ham. AS Lady Beltham is known
to have been under the influence
of FantOmas while he was known
as Gurn, it is likely that the body
is that of the. titled Englishwoman.
'How the body was placed in DIR.
: Chalek's house, as well as the man
ner of death, cannot be. determined.
The doctor seems to be above sus-
picion. He had been absent from
his Office for some time Upon his
return he found the body and inn
mediately notified the police. The
corpse seems TO have been crushed. y
- II have Il feeling that Fantomas IS
mixed up in the affair" Juve said as
he laid down the report ut is around
this mysterious doctor, who has been
absent from his office for some time
that we must lay our net. Something
tells me that the doctor will lead us
to Fantomas. Yet we must be pru-
dent and proceed with caution. Any
way, let us not waste time in begin
ming to watch the doctor"
1t was not long before Juve, accom-
panied by, the faithful Fandor, had
Installed himself in u small shop OPP

Soon the man whom they wished to
learn more about came out. He jump

that they were able to keep the auto

my dear Loupart -

MY dear Loupart:-
Bring the gang to the Lyons sta
tion tonight. The old boob I told
you about. Mr.. Martialle of the
firm of KesSler and Barru, wine
merchants at Bercy. Is going down
on the train with 100000. He is
daf1y about me; thinks me an inno-
cent, trusting little thing. That's
why he's asked me to go with him.
Little does he know that / am
Your adoring.
"JOSEPHINE."
Loupart was the name by which DIR.
Chalek was known when he appeared
among the gangsters.
Fandor had been more fortunate
than his friend He had trailed Jo-
scphine to the subway, aboard n train,
and again to the street. She walked
quietly, without noticing that she was
being followed. When she entered
n house, which Fandor took to be her
home, he settled himself in cafe op-
posite to watch. While waiting he
dispatched a note to Juve, telling of
his success:
"Dear Juve:-
- THE bird Is In her nest, and l
am keeping watch. Fandor."

HUGHES DODGES ISSUE
ON EIGHT HOUR LAW

Say What He Would Have Done.
ONLY WAY TO AVERT STRIKE.

Republican Nominee ls Asked to De-
clare if He Would Have Vetoed the
Bill With the Certain Assurance Of
Industrial Disaster to the Country.
So busy has been Charles e. Hughes
criticising the deeds of the Wilson ad-
ministration that he has had little
time to tell or has purposely evaded
telling the public what he would have
done had he been president under sim.
liar circumstances.
Lately Mr. Hughes has turned his
attacks upon President Wilson's sue
cessful settlement of the crisis in the
railroad world by causing to be passed
by congress the Adamson eight hour
bin. Mr. Hughes has characterized
this action as a surrender to force
he is opposed to being dictated to by
any power on earth before the facts
are known" and he would not act un-
ia he had had fair investigation and
candid treatment"
Taking issue with the Republican
candidates attitude, the New York

road presidents would not accept the
settlement Mr.. Wilson proposed, grant
ing the eight hour standard day, with
provision for an impartial inquiry into
it's working. There was no law on
the statute books to enforce arbitra-
ton.
The president knew, knew with GER
tainty and beyond question, that he
could not get such a law from the
congress now IN session. The sure
and inevitable alternative to his 40
ceptanoe Of the eight hour standard
day measure was strike, the suspen-
sion Of railway service, freight and
passenger, all over the country, begin
ming on the morning of Sept. 4.
Would Hughes Have Done It7
Mr.. Hughes would not surrender
to anybody in the country. Then he
would have surrendered the country to
the disturbance, immeasurable loss and
peril Of a strike Would he, in fact,
have done that? Had he been presi-
dent, confronted by that situation,
would Mr.. Hughes have brought on
strike by refusing to sign the bill
granting a wage increase?

Would Mr. Hughes have vetoed the
bill? On the cont. cry, would he not
have done just what Mr. Wilson did
sign It?
"The Republican candidate stands
for two things first. for the principle
of fair, impartial thorough, candid
arbitration. and, second, for legislation
on facts according tc the necessities

those two things and, much more, has

IF THE G. O. P. ELEPHANT
COULD SPEAK THE TRUTH

Voters of the Q. S. A
We, the Republican party, being at
our wits end and desperate put it up
to you:
For nearly four years now Demo
cratic administration has been in
power Contrary to every law Of rea-
son, every principle Of progress, the
country is at peace and alive-nay,
humming with prosperity. Business is
rushing. Wages are high. The only
discomfort is the discomfort of those
who are reaching for bigger chunks Of
plenty,
We are fabbergasted All this has
happened during a period when the
rest Of the world has been agog, when
international crises were impending on
all sides, when we would have sworn
only Republican craftsmanship could
pull the nation through.
No war has engulfed us. No panic
has paralyzed u.s. No nation has with
impunlty continued to infringe upon
our rights.
We can't deny what has been done
All we can do is take our oath We
could have done It better. How we do
not know. II only we said it loud and
long enough we hoped the country
would believe us.
But the country is busy, and our
voices grow hoarse. We are having a
hard time.
Woodrow Wilson has nothing to
show us but what he has accomplished
He has none of the glamour of the
what-might-be. We, on the contrary
have our old promises and policies
mellowed by age, but still bearing the
stamp Of the nations solid interests
Protection, privilege, government by
nfuence-surely the country has not
given them their last trial.
Wall street is with us. Big business
is with US. But, oh, voters, we confess
1t, we need you Don't keep looking at
the peace and prosperity around you
Try to get our point of view, What
ever Wilson has done, the man is a
Democrat, and neither federal govern
ment nor federal offices were meant to
be forever in such hands
Let's forget Issues and talk as
friends Turn him out and give us a
chance
