A four-ton clock wheel about 20
feet in diameter was recently convey
ed on an auto truck to the summit
OF Mount Wilson (California) for use
in the Carnegie observatory. The
wheel, which is for driving the 100
inch telescope, will be attached to a
solid steel shaft nearly 2 feet in
diameter, which will revolve with the
exact speed of the earth, but in the
opposite direction. The wheel was
carried up the mountain grade Of 10

strument his face wore a curious
smile. II have just had word from
Mrs. Duvall," he announced. "She has
followed the two men, Gunther and
Haussman, to a hotel, where they
have registered under the names Of
Gratz and Hartmann. She is watch
ing the hotel, and will wait there until
we arrive"
what hotel is it?" Mr.. Morris
asked.
"The Rochambeau!" Duvall re-
piled gravely. I'VE had better have
a talk with Mile. Mercier at once"
but what possible reason can these
fellows have for going to hotel
where they know We, or at least /, am
certain to proceed as soon as l land.
1t seems to me an extremely foolish
move on their part"
Duvall, who was engaged in getting
a revolver from his traveling-case,
turned to the banker quickly. Mot
at all, Mr.. Morris. can think of sew
eral good reasons why these fellows
should do as they have done. In the
first place, remember that they have
no reason whatever to believe that
they are under suspicion. They think
that the body of the purser VIII be
discovered, the package found in his
pocket, and the letter promptly deliv-
cred to Miss Mercier by you. AS soon
as they know this has been done they
will know that their plan has sue
ceeded, their crime unsuspected, and
they free to go their way in peace.
That is one reason for their going to
the Rochambeau, and good one,
especially as it is a hotel greatly pat
ronized by French people, and not an
unlike place for them to select in any
event. Their very presence disarms
suspicion.
"But let us suppose for the moment
that they fear they might be under
suspicion, and will be followed. Sup
pose they want to find out whether or
not the affair of Mr.. Vernons death is
likely to be further investigated. They
will watch to see who comes to the
hotel. Already, no doubt, they have
gained the confidence of Mile Mer-
cier, the maid. If you, Mr. Morris, ar
rive accompanied ny anu
myself; if our questioning of Mile
Mercier shows that our suspicious
have been aroused, these men are in a
position to. know it, and instantly be
on their guard.
There is, however, still another
reason, and perhaps the best for their
going to the hotel. We assume that
the message old Mercier sent to his
daughter contained something of
value. 'Otherwise there would have
been no reason for these men to sacri-
fce human life to obtain II. Is it not
highly probable that this message re-
fers to something only Ineligible to
the daughter herself? Is it not possi-
BILE that, without her aid, her coopera-
| ton, it becomes useless to them ?For
| all we know it may constitute. with
the franc piece, cryptogram of
| which Mile. MERCER alone can supply
the key. 1t is even possible that her
father has previously advised her con-
cerning it, and that these men hope
| to gain her confidence and get pos
| session of her secret. We are dealing
with an unscrupulous pair Of scoun-
drels, gentlemen, and they have some
thing of great value at stake, of that
be sure"

YPRES REGION DEVASTATED


British Front in France, and Bel
gium, Oct 9.-(By The Associated
Press) )-A prosperous farming coun-
try before the war, the region east of
Ypres is now a desoiate waste of
large and deep shell craters. 1t has
been the scene of much bitter and
sanguinary fighting, and the artillery
fire has done it's work.
Few sectors of the western front
have been laid waste as has this one.
Farm buildings and villages have been
bwept away by the shells. But few
bieces of wall mark where buildings
once stood Grass and other green
things have disappeared in the turning
up the earth by the innumera.ble ex-
ploding shells.
From Ypres out across the West
hoeke bridge and over the site of what
was Zonnebeke, from which the Ger
mans were pushed last Thursday. the
scenes of demolition recall the days OF
the battle of the Somme.
More striking than all the rest
were the scenes of death on every
| hand. German dead lay in great
numbers over this ground, which had
not yet been cleared. At many places

froups of Germans had been killed as
they fought, and they rested as they
fell Shell holes at some places were
choked with bodies.
The village of Zonnebeke is but
memory. Some shattered walls re-
main of the big church and in a few
places marks of other public buiid-
ings, but the village as whole has
disappeared.
The German redoubts and pill
boxes in the Zonnebeke region mostly
had been smashed by shell Ere. al
though many of them put up 3 stout
resistance There was one great con-
crete and steel redoubt which haz'
withstood thet errific fire to which it'
had been subjected. Its defenders
had been driven out by the infantry
in pitched battle. The redoubt was
80 YARDS long and about 40 yards
wide. The walls, which were Of con-
crete reinforced with steel rails, were
| about five feet thick. The roof was
made of sheet steel. Thb uildinee
contained six large rooms which:
would hold several hundred men. The
wholec ountry hereabouts was cover
ed with similarly built defenses Of
| various sizes.

COMlNS BRINGS
SUIT FOR LEASE
IN MAIN STREET
Lunch Room Owner De
clares He Was Promised
Desirable Rental.

Baffled in his attempt TO secure an
eight-year lease of store at 1924
Main street, Nathan 8. Coynins, who
owns a chain OF lunch rooms, has
brought suit against Michael G. Hayes,
a local Ash dealer and Main street
property owner. Papers in the action
have been filed in the superior court
The store Is ON the east side of Main
street and within one door Of Gold
street 1t would be extremely valua-
BILE as lunch room location and for
that reason the legal fight promises
to be bitter.
Comins says Hayes agreed with him
Dec. 8, 1918, to lease the store, then
occupied by John Eck1er, for eight
years at rental Of Sits q month i
is alleged that Hayes promised u
Eckler vacated the store before Jul,
1, 1918, that Conins could have ths
location. Comfns says he deposited
$3.50 to bind the bargain but although
Eclxler moved, Hayes repndiated hi
agreement. The suit is returnab1e tt
the November term OF court and tn,
result will be watched with fnteres

owners.

: Division Board Appeals
In Behalf of Gernment
Cases of 400 Dependency
Claimants.

Re-opening of the entire draft sit
uation with possible cancellation of
exemptions granted by the local ex-
anining boards may be. the result of
action by the government investiga-
tors appointed tc examine depend
ency claims There is one investfga-
tor for each local board and nearly,
1000 appeals On the part of the gov
ernment have been filed with the
third district board.
Some of these appeals were acted
upon at meetings OF the board yes
terday and today but the lists are not
yet in shape to give the results to the
public.
Attorney Arthur Comley, 1nvestiga-
tor for the fourth division board, in
cluding the Eighth and, Ninth voting
districts, has made formal appeal in
behalf of the government IN 400 de-
tendency cases. This need not mean
that all of these appeals will be press
ed or that the men exempted on de-
pendency claims by the local boards
will have to go to the training camps,
but it leaves the government in posi-
ton where evidence of fa1sity of claim
is found to reopen these cases before
the district board.
1t is believed there are some cases
where depndency is claimed which
should not-have been granted. These
cases will be looked up, and further
action taken where warranted.
Investigators for other divisions
have also fled appeals in similar
cases Most of the appeals will be
upon the dependency claims, but the
investigators may appeal for the gov
ernment in all cases except those OF
Industrial claims. Where regis
trant claimed to be an alien and was
allowed to pass, If it is found the
claim is not true the case bay be
reopened. Dependency claims are In
a great majority
Even where dependency exemptions
were properly granted by the Local
boards circumstances arise where the
dependency does not continue In
such cases the appeal will be carried
through, the registrant notified, and
allowed to present his proof in proper
form just as though the appeal hat
been made within a few days of ths
examination
| It is believed there are a number O.
cases where exemption under the de
lpendency clause of the law has beer
investigated, and reversal will b,
Isought where the, evidence warrants.
