Five minutes later, his cab was car
rying, in the persons of Mr.. Morgum
above mentioned, and another. the 20
tential pivOts of very tight-vested in
terests to the tune Of twelve billion
dollars. 1t may be thought that it was
Slim Hervey's intention to watt this
precious pair to some bosky retreat,
cover them with leaves, and hold them
for ransom, but such was not the case.
He desired nothing from these two
potentates among a race Of lucre
giants beyond what might come to him
through his ever-open speaking slot.
This is all he heard:
'Lewisfader is getting kind of
fresh"
That's what I been thinkin'."
"When?"
"What about Friday, when the Bun
kers-B ollweevn report comes outY
"Good idea Friday 1t is
Not another word, but, as it hap
pened, it was enough to start Mr.. Ran
dolph honking uptown the moment he
had dropped his laconic fares at their
next board meeting No one had to
tell him who Lewisfader was; he had
been to college with that financier's
son, and if there was one thing above
all others that said offspring was good
at, it was blowing his fathers horn.
Lewisfader was this and Lewisfader
was that, but principally and especial
ly he was the central rock in the money
maelstrom known to the stock market
as ANAL. l. S. & c." which had only
lately dared to swell its pOrtentous
belly in the company Of the most de-
vvloped and vicious saurians Of the
financial world.
All the way uptown, Mr.. RandOlph's
face was concentrated in the nearest
approach TO a frOwn of which it was
capable. He was not. however. weigh
ing the substance of what he had heard
this way and that, for the simple rea-
son that the moment the one word,
"Lewisfader," had reached his ears, he
had seen the great light and grasped
his bunch beyond any thought of look
ing back. That part of it was settled;
what worried him now was the amount
of ways and means in his pocket BY
thinking very hard, he added up his
capital without bringing it forth to the
light of day. The exact sum was six
ty-eight dollars and fifty cents.
No sooner had he passed the test in
mental arithmetic than he drew upea
little beyond the front door of the Rock
CT club. He started to leave his cab,
paused, considered. and then deliber-
ately lowered the fiag. As he entered !
the lobby of the club, four scandalized |
fronts leaped to bar his way. They |
asked him a variety of biting ques-
tons: Did he think it was a night |
Which chambermaid |
was he calling on? Was he looking for
Mills hotel?
Herbert !" rOared Mr.. Randolph.
The functionary named, head door /
nan for the Rocket club since first it |
started on its appropriately meteoric |
,areer, leaped from his dignified seat |
IN the somnolent side lines and stared |
vide eyed at the servile apparition |
hat had dared shout the open sesame
o that inviolate portal
Mr. Randolph ~ he gasped at last.
nd the stunned fronts started to sink
way
Hold on, there - said Mr.. Randolph,

vercoat to another. gloves 10 the third.

story OF the tremendous Disappointment
OF the people that in two years of Ameri-
can sovereignty there had been absolute
ly no moral help extended and very little
physical.
It still remains tue that about all that
has been done for the islands has been
IN the way Of sanitary Improvements.
these were very necessary, of course, and
will be of enormous benefit in the future.
1t IS now four years since The islands
came into American possession and Dan
lsh money still is in general use. The
American dollar in this American colony
has sold at a premium of as high as %
per cent.
INVESTIGATION BY COMMISSION.
The story told by the man in the little
brown derby caused Senator Kenyon to
take up in Congress the neglect of the
islands. He SAID there was plenty Of
excuse for this neglect during the war,
but no excuse for a continuance Of it for
peace time. AS a result Of his effects a
joint congressional commission was au-
thorlzed to proceed to the islands and
study conditions there. They found, be
sides other things. that the people still
are living under a Danish code cf laws
The commission has recommended an
American system of currency and an
American code Of laws, based upon
American principles and ideals, and the
undertaking of extensive educational
work. The commission denounced the
system of taxation in the islands as IN
just, inefficient and archaic. The mail
facilities have been almost nil.
With President Harding's permission
and hearty approval, Capt. Kittelle has
taken up with several cabinet officers
matters affecting the islands and he will
work out as many improvements as are
possible under purely executive authori-

during the morning of further sales of
Porto Rico's afoat to the Federal en-
bracing 500 bags, fully due and 5000
bags close by, both at 4.64c. elf An
other sale to the Federal was of s.
600 bags San Domingo's afoat, due to-
morrow at 3.374c. elf. No other
transactions were reported up too mid
day. The committee made no announce
ment but Notwithstanding, d semi-official
statement was uttered on Wednesday
to the effect that it had arranged to
take care of all its unsold sugars that
are due to arrive up to May 18th. There
was prevalent in the trade a belief
that if an opportunity was presented to
dispose of a round lot by direct and
final sale at the prevailing market, the
committee would take advantage OF IT.
In the early afternoon the Federal made
an additional purchase OF II, 0OO bags
Poto RicO'S, for first half May shipment
at 4. 58c. elf, or close to t e low point
for the season, which was touched short
" before the sugar finance committee
was created for the purpose OF stablllz-

done, it appeared that an effort was be-
ing made to check the decline. One OF
