KILLS DAYLIGHT LAW.
SENATE FOLLOWS HOUSE IN
PASSING REPEAL OVER VETO.
Hour "cained" In 1918 viii Be Perma-
nentIy Lost" in October
Ends Hot Fight.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Repeal of the
daylight saving act has been accom-
plished. The senate voted to sustain
the house in passing the repeal meas
ure over President Wilson's veto. The
vote was 81 to 10.
The repeal Of the law, which now
takes its place among the very few
which have been passed over presi-
dental veto, becomes effective after
the clocks are turned back to normal
In October. 1t will go down in legis-
.lative history as one of the very few
measures which twice have been We
toed by president and become law by
the vote Of more than two-thirds in
both houses of congress.
Agitation for repeal of the daylight
saving law first came from farmers,
but recently was buttressed by labor
unions, mothers clubs, rural school au-
thorities and many other interests.
Urban opinion also became divided
and officials of many cities and small
er towns demanded repeal. Congress
was flooded with petitions for repeal
and with petitions urging retention of
the statute.
Loss of time in farm labor was the
principal objection raised to the law.
This complaint came principally from
farmers employing "hired hands"
The complaint of loss of labor was
based principally on the shortening Of
the working day on the farm by the
advancing of the clock one hour from
March to October.
The farmers declared they could not
adjust farm work to the advanced
time because, with the clock advanced
an hour, farm work could not be begun
as early in the morning as under the
normal time schedule and must close
an hour earlier. This is because the
dew on the ground in the early morn
ing prevented blowing and other farm
labor under the advanced time sched-
ule.

else. It would have been impossible
for him to dispose of them in Europe.
You see how cunning he is?
He was no doubt thwarted in his
design to waylay me on the road from
Spanish Falls by singular occurrence
in this tavern. He was attacked in his
room here, overpowered, bound and
gagged by two men, He knew the
men. They were thieves as clever and
as merciless as himself. They too
were watching for me. l do not know
how these men learned of my inten-
ton to come to Green Fancy"
They came to the Tavern four or
five days before your arrival at
Green Fancy" Barnes interrupted.
"Sprouse told me that they were Sc
cret service men from abroad and that
he was working with them. My theory
is this, and think 1t is justified by
events: The men were really secret
agents, sent here to watch the move
ments of the gang up there. They
came upon Sprouse and recognized
powered him and forced him to reveal
certain facts connected with affairs at
Green Fancy. Possibly he led them to
believe that you were one Of the con-
spirators. They waited for your ar
rival and then risked the hazardous
trip to Green Fancy. They were dis
covered and shot,"
II believe you are right" she cried.
'Then we have accounted for Mr..
Sprouse, and | am no longer interested
in the unraveling of the mystery sur
rounding the deaths of Room and
Paul." said Barnes. "There is nothing
to keep me here any longer, Miss Cam
eron. suggest that you allow me to
escort you at once to your friends,
wherever they"
She was opposed to this plan. While
there was still chance that Sprouse
might be apprehended in the neighbor-
hood, or the possibility of his being
caught by the relentless pursuers, she
declined to leave.
'"Then, shall also stay" said he
promptly, and was repaid by the
tremulous smile she gave him. He was
helplessly in love with this beautiful
cousin Of kings and queens. And
when he thought Of kings and queens
he realized that beyond all question
his love was hopeless.

Years Sentence Provided-Rent
Clause Barely Beaten.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Rent prof.
teers narrowly escaped being included
in the food control act amendments
which passed the house Friday after
five hours of debate.
Exemption of farmers from penal
ties and boarding as provided in the
bill was the subject of attack, but the
representatives Of rural districts car
ried the day.
Without any change more important
than the insertion of semicolon, the
measure finally was passed as pro-
posed by the attorney general There
was no roll call on any of the prop
ositions.
AS passed, the scope of the food
control act is extended to include
wearing apparel and containers of
food, feed and fertilizers, a penalty
Of $4,000 fine or two years impris-
onment is provided for boarding and
profiteering, and the department of
justice is given authority to go after
the small as well as the large re-
tailers.
Representative Huddleston of Ala
bama sponsored the amendment ap-
plying to rent profteers. He won in
committee of the whole, his amend
ment being adopted by vote of 70
to 60, but in the house proper it was
rejected by a vote of II to 1872.

Harold G. Peterson and Paul Fl. Davis.
The first of the expedition, the pack
and supply trains, reached Ruidosa
shortly after s 80 o'clock last night,
according to telephone advices. The
remainder of the expedition followed.
Contact with Carranza soldiers also
on the trail Of the bandits and heavy
rain, which wiped out the fresh trails,
resulted in decision to abandon the
chase.
Meantime the rain had also wiped
out the trails of the bandits, who
were only a few hours ahead Of the
Americans.
The punitive expedition is making
the return in single column with
three cavalry troops leading, pack
trains, machine gun troops, and other
units following. Two troops are act
ing as rear guard.
The six days below the border re-
suited in the killing of four bandits
by troops and death of one by ma
chine gun bullets from an airplane.
Galveston, Tex, Aug. 23.-Seven of
the Mexican bandits who robbed sail
ors from the United States cruiser
Cheyenne off Tampico last month
have been apprehended and put to
death by the Carranza authorities, ac-
cording to an official report from Gen.
Pueblo Gonzales to Mexican Consul
Meade Fierro, here, made public. The
report states the bandits had property
of the sailors in their possession.

Mr.. Sprouse Continues to Be PerpIex-

Barnes was abroad early. He was
at breakfast when Peter Ames called
up. An inspiration seized him when
the chauffeur mentioned the wholesale
exodus: he hired Peter forthwith and
ordered him to report Immediately
with the car. He was going up to
Green Fancy for Miss Cameron's
wardrobe.
Two minutes after Peter drove up
to the Tavern he was on the way back
to Green Fancy again, and seated be-
side him was Thomas Kingsbury
Barnes, his new master.
There was not sign of human life
about the place. Peter accompanied
him upstairs to the room recently oc-
cupied by Miss Cameron.
They found two small leather
trunks, thickly belabeled, in the room
upstairs. Both were locked.
