And until that treaty is ratified,
the United States is not right. True,
Colombia was trying to extort every
dollar II could out of this country
for the privilege Of building the
Panama Canal: but that did not
justify conniving at a rebellion
which got this country the priv
tlege without giving Colombia a
cent for 1t. And certainly II did
not Justify this country's persist
ent refusal to grant Colombia's
plea to let the issue go to arbitra-
ton. President Harding was en-
phatically right in urging the Sem
ate to ratify this treaty and rid
the nations conscience of the shame
of deed which it can never be
proud of.

 an outburst of cheering in the dining
 room and the rush of, many feet On common impulse Kent and the oth-
 CTS turned toward the doorway and looked inside the dining room.

 Are you visiting the Misses Nc Intyre?"
 Yes" Mrs. Brewster spoke in a chatty, impersonal manner II have been with them since the first of the month."
 Did you attend the Grosvenor dancer" asked the coroner No; the affair was only given for the debutantes of last fall and did not include married people, she l explained. Tt was a warm night and Colonel Mcintyre asked Mr. Benjamin | lClymer, who was dining with him, and me, to go for motor ride leav- l ing Barbara at the Grosvenors en route. We did so, returning to the house about Il o'clock, and sat talk ing until about midnight in the re- l ception room, then Colonel Mcintyre drove MT. Clymer home, and I went | to my room'

II am not prepared to answer that with, certainty replied Dr. Stone cautiously. As I picked him up l heard him stammer faintly: 'B-b-b. Kent started so violently that the men next to him turned and regard GU him for a moment.
 Was Turnbull delirious, doctor?" asked the coroner.
 Stone shook his head in denial. "No," he stated II take it that he had started to say Barbara and his l breath failed him; at any rate l only caught the stuttered B-b-b.' " Doctor, what, in your opinion, caused MT. Turnbull's death?" 1 Judging superficially-I made no thorough examination" Stone eX- pfained parenthetically, II should say that MT. Rochester was right when he stated that Turnbull died from an acute attack of angina pee | toris.''
 l And what is your opinion, doc tor?' questioned Penfield. Stone hesitated. There was a distinct odor of amyl nitrite notice able when I went to Turnbulls aid, and I concluded that he had some heart trouble and had inhaled the drug to ward off an attack. It bears out MT. Rochesters theory of death from angina pectoris.' 1 Penfield regarded Dr. Stone in sl- l lence for a minute. That is all,' he | announced.
 The large building of the Club de Vingt was ablaze with light and l io, ip 1t table in one corner of the dining room, wished most heartily that it had been less crowded. Kent had been late and, to add to his short comings, had been silent, not to say morose, during dinner. l Kent reused himself from his ab- straction. We cannot talk here,' he said, looking at the gay diners who surrounded them. II have several | important matters to discuss with you, MT. Clymer."
 His remark was overheard by their Rents coffee.
 There is a small smoking room, y he suggested 1T passed there but a moment ago and it was not occu- pied. If you desire, sir, I will serV coffee there"
 An excellent idee.' Clymer rose quickly and he and Kent followed the waiter to the enclosed porch which had been converted into an attractive lounging room for the club members.
 Kent wheeled his chair around g as to face his companion and still have a side view of the dining-room.
 "So James Turnbul1 was poisoned after all,' he. commented. "A week ago I would have sworn that Jimmie hadn't an enemy in the world
 Rest easy, Mir. Kent said a voice from the doorway and Kent, who had turned his back in that di- rect;on the better to talk to Clymer, whirlcd around and found Detective Ferguson regarding him just inside the threshold. MT. TurnbulIs en- emy is not unknown and will soon II under arrest

 James Turnbull, cashier of the Metropolis Trust company in disguise was arrested for house. breaking hav- ing been caught by one of the McIn- tyre twins and locked in a closet. He was placed in the prisoners pen where he died almost at once. His identity was then discovered by the girls, who knew him well and by Prosecuting Attorney Rochester, his room mate. Immediately afterwards Rochester disappears and Barbara Mcintyre appears at the office of his law partner, Kent, stating that she is sure that there has been foul play and that he must investigate the death of the deceased. Kent then finds that Col. Mcintyre, father of the twins, is the loser of valuable se- curities on forged letter presented by Turnbull a few days before his death.
 Kent goes to the Turnbull-R -Roches- te apartments and catches hold of a man he IS unable to hold in the dark. The man mysteriously disap- pears before he can turn on the H.,hts and, shortly afterwards, Gen. tral office detective appears telling o1 a phone call that there was a bur- Elar in the apartment. The talk goes to TurnbulTs death and the Centra office man produces a handkerchie1 found in the pen which contained an overdose of heart stimulant. Il was a lady's handkerchief and Kent noted that it had a "B'' in the cor ner Helen Mcintyre, the other twin comes to Rents office with letter which she requests be put in Ro- chesters apartment in the safe and mo questions asked The coroner's inquiry into the Turnbull deatF comes about and Helen tells of catch ing Turnbu1l and of bet that ht had with her sister that the house could not be broken into She is stil on the stand being questioned bS Coroner Penfield when today's in stallment opens.

Apparel.

In the outer apparel trade whole
sale activity has quoted down with
the approaching end Of the spring
selling season.
The next move is up to the re-
tailers. Under the influence of
low prices, according to retailers,
women's apparel has been moving
into consumption at a steady pace.
Mems clothing. however, is not
as active as the retailers antici-
pated, and a sag in mems furnish
ings also is noticed.
Fall clothing for both men and
women will be offered by the
manufacturers next month. In
the mems clothing field next sea-
sons samples already have been
made, but the unsettled condi-
tions of the labor market have
prevented definite price naming.
OF the accessories, hosiery and
underwear for spring are becom-
ing more active every week.
The demand in hosiery is cen
tered largely on full-fashioned
stockings. of which there is a
dearth for immediate delivery.
due to the strike in most of the
mill turning out this product

Silks.

Both the raw silk and finished
silk goods markets were more
quiet than for some weeks pre-
vious. THE present lull Is partly
explained by the in-between sea
sons argument. but this does not
satisfy all producers.
Retail distribution continues
fairly heavy II is reported. but
neither retailers nor VIII ole salers
are buying much new merchan-
disc in the local primary markets.
The dizziness OF the raw silk
markets Is explained by the rather
sharp advances that have been
made in the raw fiber lately.
Manufacturers apparently are
unwilling to follow up these sd-
vances. SPOT supplies sre scarce
in wanted sizes and qualities. but
the paving OF premiums for spot
silk in this market has almost
ceased. due to the fact that large
supplies are on their way from
the Pacific Coast and more on
the sea in transit from Japan.
An exceptionally large lot Is
duo in New York today. Raw
silk prices sagged off slightly
toward the close OF the week. but
failed to stimulate buying.
The Washington times., 1921-04-27
Woolens.

Steady improvement is reported
in the wooden and worsted mar
kets. Buying is not as active as
1t was earlier in the month and
in March. but the fall selling
season is drawing to a close.
Late openings have been well
patronized. and a great amount OF
goods. considering general condi-
tons. are under order for delivery
through September.
The demand has been strongest
for novelty goods. such as her
ringbones and pencil stripes for
mems suits. fancy back fabrics
for overcoats and tweeds and
homespuns for women's wear. The
great staple fabrics are not NOV
ing with much raDidity.
Imports OF tweeds and home
spuns are increasing, but are not
considered alarming yet. Some
clothing manufacturers have i'm
ported such goods directly from
foreign sources.
Raw wool was only moderately
active with prices unchanged dur
ing the week. The great supply
Of wool in this country and in
foreign markets precludes any
sharp advances. IL is thought, and
the anticipated tariff already ap-
pears TO have been discounted.
One authority places the amount
OF wool imported into this country
since December in anticipation of
tariff at 20o.Oo0.oo0 pounds.

TRADE EMBARGO
Norwegian Ship Clears From
Baltimore With 1888 Tons
of Coal for Odessa.

BALTIMORE. April 27.-The en-
barge on trade with Russia. which
became effective last July, was lifted
yesterday, when ollector of Customs
Ryan for this port received orders
from the War Trade Board at Wash
ington to clear the Norwegian steam
ship Camilla Gilbert, carrying 7.193
tons of coal for Odessa.
Collector Ryan said that the Nor
wegian ship was the first to leave this
port with a cargo consigned to a Rus
sian port since the embargo.
According to the collector, the
vessel has been held up by the GUS
toms authorities under orders from
the State Department. which pro-
.hibited shipments to any Russian
port.
The steamship left Immediately
after the clearance papers had been
obtained.

As the weeks pass IT is becoming
more and more evident that the re-
adjustment of trade In to be q long
er drawn-out process than has been
generally expected
Improvement Is reported in sew
eral lines. but irregularities in bust
ness continue as tho large feature
of the general situation.
There was some let-down In re-
tail trade last week. attributed to

with the possible exception OF silk.
Prices in the main continued

In the textile apparel, shoes and
fur fields prices have changed but

giving the impression OF marked
stability.
Reports from wholesalers and re-
tailers throughout the country in
dictate that the South and South
west are recovering from the de-
preston more slowly than other
parts of the country.
Trade is better in the North.
Northwest, on the Pacific Coast
and in the Eastern manufacturing
sections.
One of the stirring DEVELOPMENTS
of the week was the publication Of
the Federal Trade Commissions re-
port to President Harding, In which
>that body intimated that the re-
tailers and n-price associations
among manufacturers were artifici
ally obstructing the process of de-
flation.
These accusations were denied BY
leading retailers and open-price
men. The latter are now busy
marshsling forth statistics to
prove the legality and economic
utility OF their operations in the
past few months. in anticipation of
an investigation by the commission
and possibly by the Department of
Justice.
Despite the stability that textile
prices have shown. retailers are
still making their purchases on a
hand-to- mouth policy, and. as one
wholesaler remarks, with their
hands too far from their mouths"
TO suit the wholesalers and manu-
facturers.
The productive and wholesale
distributive classes still assert that
more future ordering is necessary
for stimulating industry to a point
where 1t can be run on an even
keel
Overhead also Is looming larger
as an important cost in present pro-
duction. 1t is contended that over
head. remaining fairly fixed
charge in money. can only decrease
in percentage when greater produc-
ton is resumed.
From this premise the manufac-
turers argue that lower prices will
result when full time production is
possible.
