sd roadster, driven by a woman whose
zee was hidden by her heavy wells, turn into
the drive. 1t was Allayne. He watched her
until she passed around the corner Of the
building. Then, lighting cigarette, to still
the shaking Of his nerves, he sat down and
awaited her coming.
In a moment the waiter ushered her in.
Halsey arose: he waived her to a seat at the
table She would have refused but for the
presence Of the serving man, already busted
setting out the table.
"Raining?" asked Halsey, carelessly.
There were drops upon Allayne's hat;
fallen there In her brief walk from the park
ing space to the Inn door. She nodded
curtly.
"Cigarette?" said Halsey.
She shook her head. She looked impatient
ly at the waiter. Halsey smiled. He knew
what torment It was for her to walt. And
SO he did not hurry the waiter. But finally
the man was gone.
Allayne rose to her fet. From her bag
she draw a roll Of bills.
"I have fifteen hundred dollars. That's all
I can give you," she said. You'd better take
1t. My husband will be home tomorrow, and
I'm going to tell him-everythins He'll kill
you. Better take this money and get away.
Halsey smiled again. sit down." he said.
The harshness Of his voice alarmed the girl.
She sat down without quite realizing that she
obeyed. From his pocket Halsey draw re-
volver. Then, because she knew the man
for what he was, Allayne laughed. But be-
fore her mirth the smile Of Halsey did not
fade. And so the girls laugh was stilled.
Suddenly she read incredible menace in the
mans attitude. She rose. But he was too
quick. He locked the door and pocketed the
key.
Shortly after Halsey left their rooms Rosa
returned to them. Gently she opened the
door Of their living room. She stood still,
lest psrchance she disturb the invalid, who
might be sleeping. Cautiously she removed
her hat and coat, and tiptoed, carrying the
bottle filled at the drug store, to the door OF
the room where she supposed Halsey to be
-lyinx. Not hearing sound, even the breath
ing of sleeping man, she entered, her
swarthy skin white with fear.
A moment later, frightened, she had sum
moned the chambermaid Had Mr.. Carver
the name under which they were travelling
gone out? The chambermaid didn't know.
She hadn't seen the gentleman.
But, as Rosa had seen, his hat and coat
we're gone! 1t was incredible. The exertion
Of walking to the elevator might kill him.
Frantic, she ran to the elevator: from its
operator she learned that Halsey had de-
scended half an hour or so ago. From the
clerk at the desk she found out that Halsey
had passed through the street door, She

Chairman Penrose had planned

Mr.. Simmons said he had evidence

Zirato said, was the belief that he
might never get back to New York
Mr.. Caruso owned no real estate in
this country, Zirato said. He had a
summer home in East Huntington,
L. l.. which he had leased for a term
of six months, and his city residence
was the hotel suite.
"As for personal property added
Zirato, practically all of Caruso's
stocks and bonds with the sole ex-
ception of Comparatively small
block of liberty loan securities
which he still retains in a safe de-
post vault, we're sold out completely

'His reason for this action I pre-
sumo, was the heavy government
taxes imposed upon such holdings,

after. there we're few men if any who

Mr.. Zirato declared that neither he
nor anyone else in this country could

Efforts to Locate
Chicago Banker in
Mexico Are Failure

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Warren G. Spur
gin, defaulting president of the Mich
igan Avenue Trust company, appears
to have lodged all his pursuers. He
is not at Chihuahua, Mexico; Pre-
sidio, Tex, or Rodeo, N. M. All
these places have been industriously
''combed' for the fugitive, but while
there were indications that he had
been in these places, he slipped out
without leaving any trace of his des-
tination. 1t is believed he is work
ing his way down through Mexico
to Honduras, although he is rea-
sonably safe in Mexico under present
relations with that country.
Official responsibility for the af-
fairs at the bank will be fixed by the
state. which has employed an in
dependent audit concern to go over
all the books and accounts. This
follows the discovery that no audit
had been made for 20 months, al
though the state banking law re-
quired one every six months. The
state hank examiner says he was
short of help and unable to get
around to the task.

Deserter From
Naval Station
Held as Bigamist
Sailor, Alleged to Have Wife
in Every Prsirie Port, Taken
Sc
Into Custody on Complaint
,Of Girls Father.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Several young
women residing in the middle wesl
will be interested to know that Paul
Gross was arrested in Newtown, o..
today on charge of bigamy. Gross
is a deserter from the Great Lakes
naval training station
The charge was preferred by David
Ferris, a deputy game warden OF
Ohio. He says Gross married his
daughter, Grace, more than year
ago without taking the trouble of
obtaining divorce from the woman
who then wore his wedding ring.
A jolly, dry-land tar was Gross,
with wife in every prairie port. He
would rollick up from the railroad
station, his gait still rolling from a
stormy passage aboard the Pullman
car, and pick him out a bride. He
admitted to Pros sccutor Joseph
Woeste that Miss Ferris was his
fourth wife, and at the time of a
previous arrest he is said to have
confessed marrying no fewer than
eight young women in Illinois and
nearby states.
Among these wives are Mrs. Anna
Panneli Gross of Newport, KY; Mrs.
Catherine Cook Gross Of Indian
apolis, and Mrs. Rose Welsh Gross
of Louisville. ,,
At one time, according to the story
told by the deserter, he was sentby

Governor Says Object of Body
Was to Prevent Collapse of
Country's Banking
System.

Washington, Aug. S.-Rescrv'
bank policies of 1919 and 1920 were
formulated solely to prevent the
country's banking system from col
lapse and were successful in theil
object, Governor Harding OF the re-
serve board declaed today, i'll clos
ing a two days appearance before
a Joint congressional commission
To questioners, he repeated time
and again declaration that the
board had not sought to influence
prices, either up or down, but had
prepared to meet a price break that
was worldwide, and yet to maintain
and expand credit lines.
There was a bare possibility, he
said. that if, in 1919, the reserve
board had raised national rediscount
rates, "the runaway in prices might
have been checked and the result
might have been better" but he
mentioned needs of the government
financing as influential in determin-
ing the courses actually taken
Representative Sumner, demo-
crat, Texas, suggested that the
word might have gone out" from
the board to bankers to be fearful
OF prices, but Governor Harding
said that nothing had been done in
consistent with his statement.
1T wasn't good time to be talk
ing too much--in l920,' he remarked,
but we can be bolder now"
He made suggestion that the
committee might utilize the farm
loan boards as means OF extending
credits to farmers for nine and H.
month periods, but said he would
make no detailed recommendation.
"All over the country we find that
agricultural and five stock interests
find they need more credit facili-
ties" he said, "and want something
to make themselves independent of
hanks. The farmers credit horizon
is necessarily limited and local. Any
man hesitates about getting the gov
ernment i'll business and we can't use
the reserve system for that, because
IFS funds are essentially reserve
funds, but | consider there is pos
sibility that the, farm loan banks
might be extended to meet the need. |
The question needs study"
Governor Harding denied that his
of reserve bank poll
cies had Debated cotton prices.
He emphasized his present belief
that cotton prices were stabilized
with short crop rim prospect and
that prices could be relied. upon COM
plctely for all proper credit opera
tions. aa ,-
