AGREEMENT REACHED

Washington, July 26.-National prohibit
ton will be voted on by the Senate next
Wednesday. BY unanimous consent it
was agreed tonight to take up Monday
Senator Sheppards resolution for ma
tional prohibition amendment to the con-
stitution, and to dispose of it by Wednes-
day night.
Foes OF prohibition consented to the
vote in order to clear the resolution from
the calendar, transmit the resolution to
the House and perhaps shift future agi-
tation on the subject from Congress to
the states. They obtained an agreement,
however, for addition of proviso re-
quiring the states to act within six years
on the constitutional amendment, if sub
mitted to them.
VOTE TO BE CLOSE
The vote in the Senate probably will
ouire a two-thrds vote of the senator's
present Senator Sheppard predicted to-
night an affirmative vote of s. to 66 votes
Just enough to approve the resolution
which would then go to the House sub
ject to a similar two-t,iirds vote.
Ratification of the amendment would
require affirmative action by three
fourths of the As states.
OUTLINE OF RESOLUTION
The resolution provides that: The man
ufacture, sale or transportation of intox-
icating liquors, within, the importation
thereof into. or the expectation thereof
from the United States and all territory
subject to the jurisdiction thereof for
beverage purposes are hereby prohibited.
The Congress shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate legislation"
Senator Penrose. who recently has OBJ
jected to efforts to obtain a vote said
tonight he would vote and speak against
the resolution. but had no desire to be
obstructive.
II don't believe any senator wants t
make any long speech he said.
Senator Underwood also announced that
he was opposed to the resolution.

Spitzen was the Pennsylvania town in
which the Johansen steel-mills were To-
Gated. The mills aoere Spitzen. Their
smoke made the town SEEM at distance,
a mere smudge on the sky. No one lived
there but the mill people, though once it
had been clean little Swedish settlement,
and the first American home of the immi-
grant Lars Johansen. {
Nothing but business could have taken
a man like Brown to the place. But what
business? Was it true, as the rabid pro-
British newspapers alleged, that Germany
was backing Mexico? Was the murder
OF Welles-Hewitt part of political plot?
From that point of view Browns guilt
took on new aspect. 1t became be-
levable Hitherto, even in face of the
overwhelming evidence, Tim had found it
impossible to convince himself that the
man with whom he had talked that day
could be guilty of such crime. But,
granted a patriotic motive, there was no
limit to what man would do-a young
man. And was it not to the young and
ardent, with their recklessness of death,
that the dangerous work in any project
always fell?
And who then, was Hewitt? A secret
agent of his government? Had he been
murdered to prevent his going to Mexico?
Or to secure certain papers in his possess
sion? The latter, undoubtedly. For the
plot must have been under way when
Brown engaged his room at the boarding
house, and when his confederate, the
maid entered the Welles-Hewitt home.
And at that time the victim had appar-
emily no thought of going away. 1t was
the papers they were after. And what
were those papers?
AT the question Scarborough suddenly
gave himself jerk. He was getting as
bad as Inspector Cooley! Why, he didn't
know yet that any papers had been taken!
His wait for Gil was shorter than he had
expected. In less than quarter of an
hour the Mexican emerged from the
Johansen house and reentered his taxi.
1t went south now, and kept to Fifth
Avenue until, just north of Washington
Square, it turned west and stopped before
small dwelling. Here Gil discharged it,
then admitted himself to the house with a
key.
1t was his home, Scarborough knew,
and the prospect was that he would re-
main there for some time, if not all night.
Dismissing his cab, Tim found telephone
booth at the corner drugstore, and sum-
moned in all possible haste the aid he
wanted-two men to watch Johansen,
two for Gil.
WITHIN fifteen minutes the two de-
tectives summoned by Scarborough
to relieve him of the surveillance of
Valentin Gil arrived; and, having given
them his instructions, Tim hurried off.
At the Pennsylvania Station, whittier
he went first, he had no difficulty in locat-
ing by means of its license number, the
cab in which Gil had made his first call
at the Welles-Hewitt house. 1t CHANGED
to be again in line for fare.
The chauffeur, round-eyed, fat-faced
young fellow, was ready enough to talk.
"Say! l thought there was something
funny about that guy!' he declared with
quick interest as soon as Tim began to
question him. First go off, ,he give me
number on the East Side and
"What mimi her." Scarborough asked

I'm replied enlgmatlcally. You say he
acted funny? In what way?"
why changing his mind, like l told
you. And being in such hurry. !
couldn't go fast enough for him. He sure
was mad about something-nearly
snapped my head off when he give an
order, like it was my fault he didn't know
where he wanted to 60 r.
(which side of the Elevated did he
go up?7
"South-bound.'
Additional inquiries and proddings of
the young mans mind in an attempt to
unearth the two addresses given by the
Mexican proving futile, Tim took himself
off, much disappointed He suspected
that the Fifth Avenue address was johann
sens, and would have given good deal
to be sure of it. But the chauffeur, al
though he had recalled the Welles-Hewitt
address easily enough, seemed unable to
remember the others, probably because
they had not been impressed on his mind
by his actually going to them.
Scarborough next destination was the
st. Quentin Hotel. He wanted a few
words with Dozier Cullop. These he had
intended leaving for the next day; but he
had the time now, and there would be no
harm in taking the boy away from his din
ner long enough to find out if he were
holding back anything that might throw
light on the situation.
For the talk with the taxi chauffeur had
not been as illuminating as Tim had hoped
it would be. One thing it did prove-or
seemed to: that something had occurred
at the Welles-Hewitt house during Gil's
first call which had left him in perturbed
and vacillating state of mind. What was
it? And why had he deserted his cab for
the Elevated? Was he going so far down
town that the question of expense had
influenced him? Or had he grown sud-
denly cautious, DESTROYS of concealing his
movements?
ITO his relief, Tim had only few min
utes to wait after sending in his card
to Dczy, with an urgent line added in
pencil.
The boy came hurrying out to him,
plainly agog at the summons.
"St down. said Scarborough, drawing
lounge. With sharp look, he added:
