Branding statements that Con-
gress is against adequate appro-
priations for the District as false.
Representative Benjamin X Focht,
Of Pennsylvania. chairman of the
District Committee of the House,
promised members of the George
town Citizens Association at a
meeting last night in the Potomac
Savings Bank Hall his earnest ef-
forts for procuring for Washington
its needs.
"The machinery of the govern
ment works slowly but efficiently"
he said, "and after such importan.
matters as the tax question and the
tariff bill are settled by Congress,
the people of Washington can ex-
pect their needs to be ably handled.
Need Of Congress.
Congress should first learn the
general tendency of Washington
ians in regard to the vote and
other such important matters, so
that we can tackle the big PROPOSE
tions and not be troubled with the
small and insignificant matters,
which We are told to adjust" he
said
Representative Focht said the
practice of allowing children from
nearby States to attend school in
the District was unfair to the tax
payers of Washington.
with visions of a greater Wash

institution for feeble-minded chill

new spirit in Washington, he con-
cluded his talk.

BONE-DRY VOTERS
CAPTURE ONTARIO

TORONTO. April 1S.-At. 1O:45 to-
night, with most of the country re-
turns still missing, it was evident
that Ontario had voted bone dry in
today's referendum. The vote was
whether or not the province should
prohibit the import of liquor.
The Toronto Globe estimates the
dry majority of 100000 out of 1,000,-
900 voters. Three cities-Toronto,
Hamilton and Ottawa-voted wet.
but nearly everywhere else the vote
was dry. Most of the country dis
tricts went dry by two or three to
one. There were notable exceptions.
For instance at Werner. in Nipissing
district, 254 votes were polled and
254 votes went wet. In Toronto,
with 100000 population, the dry
forces predicted at 1880 the result
would be about even.

They were not only enough to break
up the ring and send its members to
prison: with the aid of the empty shell
and other circumstantial evidence,
they could In all probability convict
Bert Cranston of murder
For a long time he stood with the
shadows of the pines lengthening
about him, his gray eyes in curious
shadow. For the moment a glimpse
was given him into the deep wells of
the human soul; and understanding
came to him. Was there no balm for
hatred even in the moment of death?
Were men unable to forget the themes
and motives of their lives, even when
the shadows closed down upon them?
Hildreth had known what hand had
struck him down. And even on the
frontier of death, his first thought was
to hide his evidence where Cranston
could not find it when he searched the
body, but where later it might be
found by the detectives that were sure
to come. 1t was the old creed of
life for life. He wanted his evidence
to be preserved-not that right should
be wrOnged, but so that Cranston
would he prosecuted and convicted
and made to suffer. His hatred of
CranstOn that had made him turn
states evidence in the first place had
death.
AS Dan stood wondering, he thought
he heard twig crack on the trail be-
hind him, and he wondered what for
est creature was still lingering on the
ridges at the eve of the SHOWS.
The snow began to fall in earnest at
mdnight-great, white flakes that al
most In an instant covered the leaves
1t was the real beginning of winter
and all living creatures knew it. The
wolf pack sang to 1t from the ridge
n wild and plalntive song that made
Bert Cranston, sleeping in Iean-to
on the Umpqua side of the Divide
swear and mutter in his sleep. But he
didn't really waken until Jim Gibbs,
one of his gang, returned from his
secret mission.
They wasted no words. Bert flung
uSiue lHe DldHhetS, llSHleu Cdnule
and placed it out of the reach Of the
night wind. His face looked swarthy
and deep-lined in its light.
"Well?" he demanded. "What did
you find?"
"Nothin'," Jim Gibbs answered gut
turally. "If you ask me what found
out, I might have somethIn' to an
swer."
"Then-" and Bert, after the man.
ner of his kind, breathed an oath
"What did you find out?'
His tone, except for an added note
of savagery, remained the same. Yet
his heart was humping great deal
louder than he liked to have 1t. Realiz-
ing that the SHOWS were at hand, he
had sent Gibbs for last search of
the body, to find and recover the evi-
dence that Hildreth had against him
and which had not been revealed eithep
on Hildreth's person or in his cabin.
He had become increasingly appre-
hensive about those letters he had
written Hildreth, and certain other
documents that had been in his pos
session. He didn't understand why
thay hadn't turned up. And now the

But no matter about that-it's just
as l thought. And I'll get 'em back
mark my little words"
In the meantime the best thing to
do was to move at once to his winter
trapping grounds-a certain neglected
region on the lower levels OF the North
Fork. II at any time within the next
few weeks, Dan should attempt to
carry word down to the settlements,
he would be certain to pass within
view of his camp. But he knew that
the chance Of Dan starting upon any
such journey before the snow had
melted was not one in a thousand. To
be caught in the Divide In the winter
means to be showed in as completely
as the Innuits of upper Greenland. No
word could pass except by man on
snowshoes.
Yet II the chance did come. II the
house should be left unguarded. 1t
might pay Cranston to make an i'm
mediate search. Dan would have no
reason for supposing that CranstOn
suspected his possession Of the let
ters; he would nor be particularly
watchful, and would probably pigeon
hole them until spring in Lemons
desk
And the truth was that Cranston
had reasoned out the situation almost
perfectly. When Dan awakened In
the morning. and the snow lay already
foot deep over the wilderness world,
he knew that he would have no chance
to act upon the Cranston case until
the SHOWS melted in the spring. So
he pushed all thought Of 1t out Of his
mind and turned his attention to more
pleasant subjects. 1t was true that he
read the documents over twice as he
lay in bed. Then he tied them into
neat packet and put them away where
they would be quickly available. Then
he thrust his head out of the window
and let the great snowflakes sift down
upon his face. 1t was winter at last,
the season that he loved.
He didn't stir from the house that
first day Of the storm. Snowbird and
he found plenty Of pleasant things to
do and talk about before the roaring
fire that he built In the crate. He was
glad of the great pile OF wood that
lay outside the door. 1t meant life It.
self, in this season. Then Snowbird
led him to the windows, and they
watched the white drifts pile up over
the low underbrush.
When finally the snowstorm ceased,
five days later, the whole face Of the
wilderness was changed. The buck
brush was mostly covered, the fences
were out of sight; the forest seemed
n clear, clean sweep of white, broken
only by an occasional tall thicket and
by the great, snOw-covered trees.
When the clouds blew away, and
the air grew clear, the temperature
began to fall. Dan had no way of
knowing how low 1t went. Thermome-
ters were not considered essential at
the Lennox home. But when his eye
