 Standing on Jim Conley's front porch little after sunrise, Barnes made the following declaration:
 Everything goes to show that these men were up here for one of two req sons. They were either trying to pre- vent or to enact crime. The latter is my belief. They were afraid of me. Why? Because they believed I was trailing them and likely to spoil their game. Gentlemen, those fellows were here for the purpose of robbing the place you call Green Faacy."
 What's that?n came rich, mellow voice from the outskirts of the crowd. A man pushed his way through and confronted Barnes. lie was a tall, good-looking fellow of thirty-fve, and it was apparent that he had dressed in haste. My name is O'Dowd, and I am a guest of Mir. Curtis at Green Fancy. Why do you think they meant to rob his place?"
 ''WelI," began Barnes dryly, it would seem that his place is the only one in the neighborhood that would bear robbing. My name is Barnes. Of course, Mir. O'Dowd, it is mere specu- lation on my part"
 sBut who shot the rnan?" demanded the Irishman. "He certainly wasn't winged by anyone from our place. Why, Lord love you, sir. there isn't a soul at Green Fancy who could shoot a thief if he saw one. This is MT. De Soto, also guest at Green Fancy. He will, think, bear me out in upsetting your theory"
 A second man approached, shaking his head vigorously. He was thin. pale man with singularly scholastic face. Quite an unprepossessing, un- sanguinary person, thought Barnes.

 Perfectly. But why should he be troubled by my presence here if"
 Miss Thackeray put an end to the discussion in most effectual manner.
 eOh, for the Lords sake, cut it out Wait till he's dead, can't you" she whispered fiercely. 'You've got all the time in the world to talk, and he hasn't more than ten minutes left to breathe unless that rube doctor gets here pretty soon. think he's going now. Keep still, all of you. Is he breathing, MT. Barnes? That awful cough just now seemed to-" Her eyes were fixed on the still face. "Why-why, how tightly he holds my hand! can't get it away-he must be alive, MT. Barnes. Where is that silly doctor?"
 Barnes unclasped the rigid fingers of the man called Andrew Paul, and, shaking his head sadly, drew her away from the improvised bier. He and the shivering Mir. Dillingford con ducted her to the dining room, where single kerosene lamp gave out a feeble, rather ghastly light.

Every once in awhile he would turn to Paul, who stood beside him with q notebook, and say something to him. Paul wrote it down. Then he would look again, turning the glasses this way and that. Suddenly my eyes almost popped out of my head. Paul had gone away from the window. He came back and he had q couple of revolvers in his hands. They stood there for few minutes carefully examining the weapons and reIoading them with fresh cartridges.

A IeneVd.
 A The Rome Of the Caesars
 and of the Popes, which held pre-eminence in this respect for many ages, now yields to Geneva, which, since John Calvin's time, has been mll- ed 'the Protestant Rome," writes Irv- ing R. Bacon in the Detroit Free Press.
 Geneva is to be the capital of the league of nations, which is but another way of saying the capital of the world. Thus the peace conference at Paris has decided.
 In the middle of the nineteenth cen tury, when, under the quasi-dictator- ship of James Fazy, the radicals of the Swiss canton Geneva spent money with almost reckless extravagance to develop and modernize the city, de Ia Rive, conservative, exclaimed:
 "They want to make Geneva the smallest of the great cities; oh,, that they would only allow her to remain the greatest of the small cities!''
 And now, seventy years after he expressed this wish, 1t is about to be realized; for from now on it is there that the parliament of nations will hold its sessions and the roads from all ends of earth will focus there.
 The census of 1911 gave Geneva in the neighborhood of 150000 inhabi- tants, divided almost evenly between Protestants and Catholics. In point of languages the French preponderated nearly seven to one as compared with German.

On, Beautiful Lake Lenan.

The city is the southwesternmos point of Switzerland. It is on the pie turesque Lake Leman (called also Lake Geneva), and is divided into halves, the old and the new towns, by the River Rhone. The number seven fig- ures geographically in Geneva as it does in Rome. The latter city has seven hills; Geneva, seven bridges.
 Geneva, however, is of but recent date compared with Rome. It was lit- tie more. than village of the Allo- broges, a Gallic tribe, when Rome was mistress of the world. Julius Caesar took his stand there when he heard that the Helvetians (the Swiss of to- day) had decided to emigrate from their own country, which they had come to consider as too cramping for their national growth.
 "They shall not pass" was Caesars watchword. And two-thirds of the Helvetian people perished in a futile attempt to force their passage through the Roman provinces. It was the be- ginning of the Gallic war, which lasted nine years and became the fulcrum by which Caesar raised himself to the po- sition of dictator of virtually the whole civilized world

After Differences of Opinion
Are Settled,


Paris, "Wednesday, Jan. 10 (by the
Associated Press).-No one outside
of the delegates to the peace congress
knows anything about the discussion
which preceded today's decision to
Keep proceedings OF the congress
secret and to limit information di-
vulGed to official statements.
This decision will preclude the
American delegates, even Mr.. Wilson
himself, from discussing the formal
announcements that are issued 1t
will likewise stop the practice of Pre-
mier Lloyd George of Great Britain
discussing affairs with British CORE
spondents for the purpose Of guiding
them in forming public opinion in
England
1t has been believed here by per-
sons close to President Wilson that
he would contend for open sessions
as far as possible. That he still feels
the same way is the opinion generally
expressed here tonight.
Lansing States Views.
Curiously enough, the question of
open or secret had reached stage
before today's decision where some
authoritative statement on the sub

meeting Secretary of State Robert
Lansing authorized the following as
his view:
The American policy is that full
est publicity consistent with the rapid
and satisfactory discharge of import
ant. business which must come before
the peace conference should be ac-
corded. 1t is possible that sessions
.-i.ouia be omen when business Is ad-
yanced to point where IL can be re-
garded as ready for final action. 1t
may be, however, that in the earlier
stage. when subjects are being dis
cussed between groups or in commit
tees or in meetings of all the dele
gates, with Il purpose of reaching
agreements on controversial phases. it
would be inadvisable to conduct these
discussions openly. There might never
be an agreement otherwise.
Not Secrcm Diplomacy.
That would not be secret diplom-
acy in any sense, however. for no
agreement so arranged could be ef-
fective until approved by all the del
egates in open session"

Opposing Resolution

Santa Fe, Jan. lG.--The senate
blockaded an amendment to rush rat
ificaticn of the national prohibition
amendment through the New Mexico
legislature today by referring the
joint resolution passed by the house
of representatives to committee. The
measure cannot now be again reached
before Monday, as the senate ;mmedi-
ately adjourned until O'Clock Mon
day afternoon.
The motion to refer to committee
was made by senator John s. Clark,
who also blocked by a motion to adj
journ an effort by Senator Mersfelder
to withdraw the measure and dispose
of it under suspension of the rules,
Senator Clark declared after the ses-
sion and there is inclination in the
house to block the passage of the res
olutiou and predicted that it would
pass in due time.
I'VE simply refused to be stampeded
to pass measures which none of us
have read and considered" said Sena-
tor Clark. This resolution may be
all right, and | suppose it is, but |
have not read it, nor has any other
senator that | know of, We want the
and members of the senate wish to
read the measure. ! understand that
the committee is ready to take action
on the measure at once, and it prob
ably will be reported by Monday"

The prohibition measure was then
taken up under head of messages from
the house and read twice by title. Sem

Dead men tell no tales. In a book

Caillaux was in communication with

that Calmette knew it.
Now at this time there was in Paris
little publication called the Bennett

wife was charged with the murder of
Calmette CaHlauX became the finan-

Washington, Jan. l6-The house
military committee practically reached
an agreement today III conference
with Secretary Baker and General
March chief of staff, to postpone the
war department reorganization bill un-
til the next session of congress and
with it a large part of the prospective
debate over the future military policy
of the country
A suggestion by Chairman Dent that
a legislative rider on the army appro-
priation bill continuing the existing
war organization of the department
and the regular army for another
year be substituted for the reorgani-
cation measure, met with the approv-
al of Mr., Baker and apparently with
that of a majority of the committee
members.
Disclose Army Plans.
The proposal grew out of confer
ence at which Secretary Baker and
the chief of staff explained to thei
committee the reorganization measure
framed by the department, providing
for regular army of 100000 men to
be raised by voluntary enlistment onI
a flat three-year basis. The bill also
would have made permanent the alb
solute control over all branches of the
army now exercised by the chief Of
staff MS a wartime necessity.
Chairman Dent said ii would be I'M
possible to get such a bill through
congress In the six weeks remainingl
of the session. Committee members
agreed with him, pointing out that the
gsr department 5ill oti It's gace aps,
peared to be military policy measure
which abandoned the theory of uni
versal military obligation. Mr.. Baker
insisted that this was not the case;
that no attempt to fix the nations pol
icy as the peace-time army was in
volved, but agreed tnat the substitu-
ton of continuing authority appeared
to be the wisest course in view of un-
certainties of the situation abroad
and lack of time for full discussion in
congress
