To End Inadequate Penalties.

On the latter subject Mr.. Untermyer
has expressed himself forcibly of late.
tt Is almost useless for the Lockwood
Committee TO proceed and for the state
70 spend It's money in such an inyestiga-
ton, Mr.. Untermyer has said. II the
courts are 10 let off serious offenders
with sentences not even equal 10 those
imposed on persons arrested for dis
orderly conduct. The disorderly person
gets thirty days as a rule some OF the
big profteers and price fixers convicted
as result OF the Lockwood committees
work have had only nominal punishment.
In its national ascpects. the investiga-
ton OF the building industry has taken
on much great importance in the last
few weeks. since Harry Daugherty be-
came United States sAttorney-Generai.
II is well known that under the ad-
mnistration of Attorney-General Palmer
this State was not able 10 get support
or sooperation from Washington. There
were liberal promises. but nothing was
done Mr. Untermyer showed in two
days In City Hall that nationwide
combination of cement dealers was goug-
ing the country. Washington fused
around with the case for weeks and did
nothing. 1t was shown that the plumb
ers and steel filters and many other
organizations with headquarters here
were operating through their national
officers throughout the country precisely
as they were here. No action was taken
by the Federal Government.
Acknowledgement Daugherty has taken
hold OF the situation with vigor. Some
OF the cases which went by default are
10 be reopened. The Attorney Generals
office is Keeping close watch on the dis
solution process of the many combna-
tons. If made In good faith. the Gov
ernment will not act. but IL the dissolu-
ton is pretext the Federal Government
will take hold. The Attcrney-Generai
Is welcoming the help and advice of tie
state probers in tracing the combina-
tions to other cities.

CHAPTER "
The Mystery of the Rifles.

An hour after John Moreland had
sent his ten rifle bullets whining over
the head of Ben Littleford every
Moreland and every Littleford in the
valley knew of the declaration of war.
And each man of them oiled his weap-
ons and put them In better working
order
When Dale went to bed, there was
too much on his mind TO render sleep
ing easy for him. Tomorrow he would
have TO help in the fight against the Lit
tlefords, kinsmen of the young woman
who had saved him, without doubt,
from death by the murderous rifle of
the mountaineer Godfather break his
word fatty. 1t was poor return for
such favorl The longer he thought
over the dilemma. the more perplexed
he became
He thought, too, of the everlasting
wonder, the tail of John Moreland's
bedtime prayer. How man could go
down on his knees and ask the bless
ings of the Almighty upon men whom
he meant TO fight the next day was
a thing that BIZ: ;AeI- could not under
stand.
1t was after Midnight before he
slept. EIe woke at the break of day, |
arose and dressed himself, and went |
