Despite the dark picture he has

Feeble Attempts.
Rather feeble attempts have been
made TO curtail the propagation Of
mental detectives through sterilzing
or segregating some OF the worst q

practice carried on much more ex-
tensively would undoubtedly relieve
society Of an immense burden. But
the elimination of Our worst Gefec-

difficulty, which consists in the loss
of stocks which carry our best inner

LIQUOR CASES
April Body Finds One Indict-
ment Out of Nine Presented
by District Attorney.

tBy Evening News Stan Correspondent
TOTTENVILLE. April 29-When
he April grand jury finished its
duties on Wednesday for the week
after taking up the several liquor
cases where arrests had been made
by n police IN Staten island since
the crusade was started following
the state law enforcing the prohibit
ton act it vas found that but one
Indictment was found out Of a total
ne nine passed upon by that body.
The defendant against whom a true
bill "a found is said to have been
a New Brighton saloon keeper, but
whose name has been withheld. He
is accused of sellink whiskey over
the bar to police officers. Three
of the cases before the grand jury
were from this end OF the island.
They were Michael O'Neill and
John Poeppel, both saloon keepers
of Rossville, and stephen Lovazs.
Jr. son of a saloon keeper CT Ar
thur Kill road, Tottenville. The

he could not understand how a diff
ference had been made between the
ease in which an indictment had
been found and the other eight com
plants. The cases were equally
strong, he said, with the same facts
Involved In each. 1t Is generally
being felt that the action of the
grand jury can be interpreted as
an expression of disapproval of the
state liquor enforcement. 1t, has
been intimated by District Attorney
Maloy that the matter will not be
dropped. Possible action by the
Federal authorities may result. The
facts in the case may be placed in

Of it brushed gently round the bunga-
low itself. Suddenly the window of
one of the downstair rooms was flung
open, and a man with white hag-
gard face leaned out drawing great
gulps of fresh air into his lungs.
Three other men lay sprawling un-
couthly in chairs, and two dogs lay
motionless on the hearthrug.
After a moment or two the man
withdrew. only to appear again with
one of the others in his arms. And
then, having dropped his burden
through the window on to the lawn
outside, he repeated his performance
with the remaining two. Finally he
pitched the two dogs after them, and
then, with his hand to his forehead,
he staggered down to the waters

"Such is your rule. And l think
you have failed, haven't you, you un-
pleasant specimen of humanity? How
will they kill you, l wOnder?"
1t was at that moment that the man
made his mistake. He looked away ::
only for moment-but he looked
away. Just as cats nerves give
after a while and it looks round for
an avenue Of escape, so did the crouch
ing man take his eyes from Hugh.
And quick as any dog, Hugh sprang.
With his left hand he seized the
mans right wrist, with his right he
seized his throat. Then he forced
him upright against the door and held
him there. Even when inch by inch
he shifted his grip OIL the mans knife
hand he never took his eyes from his
opponents face; even when with a
sudden gasp of agony the man
dropped his knife from fingers which,
of a sudden, had become numb. the
steady, merciless glare still bored
into his brain.
you're not very clever at it, are
you?" said Hugh softly. 1T would
be so easy to kill you now, and except
for the Inconvenience 1 should un-
doubtedly suffer, it mightn't be bad

Of hitting the floor some yards from

to rise, but the pain was too great,
and he rolled over cursing, while the
soldier, his hand on the door-knob,
laughed gently.
"I'll keep the toothpick," he re-
marked, "as a memento."
The next moment he was stridng
along the corridor toward the ele-
yator. AS y fight it had been poor
one. but his brain was busy with the
information ne had heard. True. it
had been scrappy in the extreme, and,
in part, had only confirmed what he
had suspected all along. The wretched
Granger had been foully done to death,
for no other reason than that he was
the millionaire's secretary. Hugh's
law frightened; it revolted his sense of
sport. 1t wasn't as if the poor blight
er had done anything; merely because
he existed and might ask inconvenient
questions he had been removed. And

moment, when, with heavy crash,

"Still giving tongue. Either Ted
