OBJECTION TO UNTERMEYER

One of the chief objections against re- taining Untermyer was that Lawson had discussed the case with him and was known to want an investigation of the stock exchange with Untermyer in charge of it.
 Democratic members of the committee struggled with the problem for more than A hours. excluding republican members from their conferences while endeavoring to reach an agreement. Representatives Campbell and Lenroot, ranking repub- lican committeeman, learned of the ef- forts being made to choose Untermyer and late in the afternoon, still ignored. issued statement assailing the demo- crats The stawtement. which charged the democrats with attempting to choose a partisan counsel, had the effect of bring ing the differences to an end
 REPUBLICANS CALLED IN
 The republicans were invited into the conference at o'clock, at which time Whipple was suggested. They were told to return at 5 o'clock. In the meantime, MT. Campbell consulted Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, against whom Whipple made a race for the Senate, as to Whip ple's qualifications. Senator Weeks in- dorseinent was so strong that the repub- liean members made no further inquiry, and,s returning to the committee room. approved the selection.
 Agitation to broaden the scope of the inquiry still further by a new resolution which specifically would direct thorough investigation of the stock exchange With view to reform legislation, caused much discussion in the democratic con ference early in the day. After the se- lection of Whipple tonight, however, 1t was said by democratic leaders that the inquiry would proceed along lines already outlined. At one stage, when agree nent on counsel seemed impossible, sug- gestion was made that the rules commit tee recommend immediate appointment of a special committee to take over the in vestigation. When Untermyer ceased to be urged this proposal was abandoned.

He also recently appeared as counsel for pneu- matic tube interests before the postoffice committee. He is a member of the Bos- ton legal firm of Whlpple, Sears & Og- demand.
 MT. Whipple telegraphed Chairman Henry tonight that he would come tc Washington Saturday to confer with the committee. Mr. Henry said the message was not an acceptance of the committee invitation but that he did not doubt that an agreement would be reached without difficulty

Washington, 2Ary 1s.-sherman noted trial lawyer, was invited to- night by the rules committee of the House to act as counsel fin the peace note leak question which. it now ap- pears, will extend deeply into Wall street stock manipulations.
 Representative Henry, chairman of the committee, and Representative Campbell, the ranking republican member, said when the announcement was made that it was hoped Whipple would accept. From other sources there were intima- tions that the Boston attorney had been consulted and was expected to undertake the task
 HEARINGS AGAIN POSTPONED
 Further public hearings in the inquiry were postponed until Monday morning in order to give counsel and the committee time to complete arrangements and pre- pare for the future proceedings along lines which the attorney may suggest. The plan is to call as the first witness Mrs, Ruth Thomson Visconti. the woman who Thomas w. Lawson says told him Secretary TumuIty and A. w. Price, a Washington newspaper man, were bene- ficiaries of the alleged leak. She will be followed by a score or more of other witnesses, including the men whose names have been brought into the inquiry and a number of prominent New York financiers

BITTER FIGHT

The selection of Whipple followed a bitter fight of several hours among demo- crats of the committee in which Postmas- ter General Burleson, Solicitor General Davis and Majority Leader Kitchin par tlcipated. Several of the democrats ur- gently advised the selection of Samuel Untermyer as counsel, despite attacks against such course from various sides of the House yesterday Representative Howard of Georgia. who announced his opposition to Untermyer on the floor, was ilr.portuned by democratic leaders to give silent approval of his retention. Howard vehemently declined and his renewed pro- tests with open objection from other democratic members and unanimous dis approval on the republican side, forced IIntermyer's champions to yield.

Longorio did a very unexpected
thing then; slowly. unconsciously, as If
the movement were the result of half
forgotten training, he crossed himself.
But now from the hall at his back
came the pounding of boot-heels, and a
half-dozen painting troopers tumbled
through the door. He waved them back
and out into the hall again.
Father O'Malley, who had been try
ing to make himself heard, stepped in
front of the general and said, solemn
ly: "Take care what you do, Longorio.
/ have married these people. and you
can't undo what have done. We are
American citizens. The laws Of civili-
zation protect US"
The Mexican fought for his voice,
then stammered: "You are my priest ;
I brought you here. l offered to marry
her. Now-you force me to damn my
soul" Turning his eyes wildly upon
Alaire, he shouted: TOO late, Ell?

NEW" WEAPONS REALLY OLD
Asphyxiating Bomb and Ineendlary
Shell outgrowth Of Missiles En-
pIoyed Long Ago by Chinese.

Many of the "new" weapons pro-
duced by the world war are really very
old. Thus the asphyxiatlng bomb Is
an outgrowth Of q missile employed
long ago by the Chinese. Instead OF
deadly chemicals, it contained some
substance that emitted nauseous
odor, accompanied by sitting smoke.
Later this device appeared in Europe
and was known by the inelegant but
expressive name of "stink-pot"
Another Chinese war method paved
the way for incendiary shells. They
invented rocket, later adopted and
widely used by the Saracens, which
fired a kind Of ball having claws or
hooks that would catch hold to the
side of a building and set fire to it.
These balls were made Of petroleum
and inter, which became famous in
the later ages as Greek fire.
The German device Of throwing Pc
troll upon an enemy by means Of a
pump was used long ago, when an at
tacking ship often spouted flames at
the object of Its assault. This plan
was reserved for close quarters, and
frequently resulted in the destruction
Of the vessel so attacked.

nation. He was about to make known
what was in his mind when Alafre
raised her hand and in strained
whisper exclaimed:
"'Sh-h! Listen"
The heavy door of the hacienda
creaked, quick tread sounded on the
tiles, the door to the living room was
flung open, and Longorio entered. He
was hot and dusty from his ride, but
with a lovers impetuosity he had made
straight for this lighted room.
For the briefest instant he balanced
himself just inside the portal, and the
smile remained fixed upon his lips.
Then his eyes became ringed with
white and he made swift, catlike
movement of retreat. Plainly this was
the supremest surprise of his lifetime,
and he seemed to doubt his senses. But
he recovered quickly. Thrusting his
head forward he demanded:
What is this? You-and your He
stared from Dave to the priest, then
back again.
They all spoke at once, but he heard
only Alaire's words
"He came to find me-"
Pancho appeared in the doorway be-
hind Longorio, saying, Il heard you
ride up, sir, so ran to tell you about
this fellow"
But the general cut him short. "Call
your men, quick" he cried in voice
that sent the soldier leaping back into
the night.
Alaire was clinging to Dave, merely
clutching him the tighter when he tried
to unclasp her hold. Her movement
into the shelter of his rivals arms in
furiated Longorio, who uttered an eX-
clamaton and fumbled uncertainty
with his holster. But his fingers were
clumsy. He could not take his eyes
from the pair, and he seemed upon the
point Of rushing forward to tear them
apart.

stamped his feet, he wrung his hands
he called shrilly at the top Of his voice
Lieutenant He, Pancho! You fel
lows! Qulckly!' Under the stress Of
his excitement the feminine side of his
character betrayed itself.
Alaire felt her newly made husband
gather himself for a spring; he was
muttering to her to release him; he
was trying to push her aside, but she
held fast with the strength of despera
ton.
"You can't harm u.s." she declared
flinging her words defiantly at the
Mexican. "You dare not. You are toe
late. Father O'Malley has just mar
ried u.s."
Longorio uttered peculiar, wordless
cry of dismay; his mouth fell open
his arms dropped; he went limp all

CHAPTER XIII.
The Man of Destiny,

'Now then, I'll explain" said Alaire,
turning to the men. "Longorio declares
he won't have me except as his wife,
and think he means it. He Is amaz-
ingly egotistical. He has tremendous
ambitions. He thinks this war is his
great opportunity, and he means to be
president-he's sure of it. He loves
me, but he loves himself better, I'm
sure. Now, don't you see? He'll have
to choose one or the other"
Father O'Malley did not appear to
appreciate the full force of this rea-
soning. my DEAR" he said gravely,
"he can make you widow again. In
such times as these men are savages."
"Oh, but that's not ALL" Alaire
turned to her newly made husband.
"They let you In, and they'll let you
out again-if you 60 quickly, before
it's known what we've DONE"
Dave stared at her in bewilderment.
81? l 60, and-leave your" He seemed
doubtful of her sanity.
YES" When he laughed shortly,
Alaire cried: "Dave, you must Don't
you see what I'm driving at? II he
can't marry me, If he finds you're gone
and he can't lay hands on you, what
can he do but let me 60? Dave dear,

You're excited" he told her, and
drew her to himself gently.
please! Please!" she implored.
: "You don't know that man." said
Father O'Malley, with conviction.
But Alaire insisted, half Historically
now: II do that's just 1t, I do know
him. He is planning the greatest things
for himself, his head is in the clouds,
and he darent do the things he used
to do. That's why l called in those
women as witnesses. He can't put
them out of the way. With Dave gone
I'll be safe. He can't ignore our mar
riage. But otherwise There's no
telling what he may do. Why, he'll kill

turned face eloquent with pleading.

"No!" Law declared, firmly. "Ycu
wouldn't ask 1t If you were in your
senses. Get me gun and I'll shoot
my way out. Well go until they stop
US. But don't ask me to leave you"
She searched his face eagerly, pite-
ouSly, then with a quivering sigh re-
laxed her tension. "Then we've only
made matters worse. You've spoiled
our only chance"
Father O'Malley, who had been lost
In thought, spoke up again: Perhaps
you will let me try my wits. But first,
do understand that it was he who ef-
fected the death of-Mr. Austin?"
Dave recounted as coherently as he
could the circumstances of Eds death.
and told how he had learned, through
Jose, of Longorio's intentions. AS the
priest listened a spot of color grew in
his cheeks, his eyes glowed with indig-

you don't need to understand. i
know what I'm doing. I've thought of
q way to save us ALL"
An incoherent refusal was upon his
lips, but Alaire's face besought him; it
was shining with strange, new ecS-
tasy, and he could not bring himself to
deny her. OF what her plan consisted
he had only the dimmest idea, but he
assured himself that it could by no
possibility succeed. AFTER all, what did
1t matter? he asked himself They were
trapped. This might serve, somehow,
to cheat Longorio, and-Alaire would
be his wife.

II haven't thought 1t all out yet,

AT that moment Dolores returned,
bringing with her the three black
haired, black -shawled house servants,
bundling them through the door and
ranging them along the wall.
Father O'Malley's face was puck
cred he said, hesitatingly: "My dear
madam, this isn't regular; you are not
Catholics. How can l bless you?"
"You can marry us legally, just the
same, can't your Alaire was breath
ing rapidly, and some part Of her eager
ness began to thrill her hearers.
"Oh yes, but"
"Then marry us. And make haste,
please! Pleasew
Law nodded. He could not speak,
for his mouth was dry. His heart was
beating violently; his temples were
pounding; all the blood of his body
seemed centered in his head.
Before the eyes of the four wonder
ing women Father O'Malley married
them. 1t seemed to Alaire that he
would never reach the end, although, in
fact, he stumbled through the cere-
mony swiftly. Alaire clipped his last
words short by crying:
Tell these people so that they'll un-
derstand what it all means. Tell them
to remember they have seen a mar
riage by the church."
The priest did as he was directed
and his audience signified their under
standing. Then Dolores led them out

It appears that the wardens did not
consider that they should regard the
regulations of the boards the same

did not know that they were called
upon to enforce them. Under the
law, the boards of supervisors arc en-
