 Now fire away MT Barry. I pre- sume you have your proper ereden- tials?"

 Barry laughed with boyish frank ness.
 T won't try to lie to you, sir!" he exclaimed. we have reason to be- lieve that the woman who was killed was some connection of the unfortu- nate Mrs. Matthew Venner. We know that the latter was comparative stranger here, and we thought you might be able to tell us where she came from and who her people were"
 A faint flush had come into the withered cheeks and Barry could see

| that he was shaking excitedly. "Irene Venner," Barry prompted quietly Her maiden name was Irene Barrows and she was visiting a school friend here-'
 Ada Johnson" the quavering voice supplemented. T suppose she took pity on Irene. Irene came from Wheatfeld, and I guess her guardian sent her to finishing school as a last resort to get her in with rich folks and marry her off. Anyway, Ada John son brought the girl home and the trouble started"
 Do you know anything about this guardian of Irene Barrows', sir?" the detective asked. "Did you ever meet him?"
 "Yes, he came on for the wedding, but somehow l can't recall his name. remember the man himself, though, because I've met so many of his type; hard listed, hypocritical president of a small country bank. He died soon after, understand"
 "Please, Mr. Scully, it is time for your drops now" A nurse approached the invalid. If the gentleman will excuse you, I'm sure you have talked enough"
 The invalid took the medicine and reused himself to peer at the small car chugging up the driveway. Who's coming?"
 Tt is Mrs. Tyrrell," the nurse re- piled and turned to meet the stout lady who had descended from the runabout and was crossing the lawn toward them.
 Ada on one of her duty calls!" the old man grumbled. "She may be able to give you more information than l. however, for she was the girl told you about who brought Irene to Cleveland in the first place"
 Barry rose and the old man cackled l as he extended his hand.
 My dear Ada!' he responded. You were never more welcome than at this moment"

 Barry escorted the lady 10 her run about,
 Who was this old friend of mine whose relative you know2" asked Mrs. TyrrelL u"
 ''l believe when you knew her first that her name was Irene Barrows, afterwards Mrs, Malt Venner," Barry replied steadily
 All the color vanished from his companions face and the little car swerved us she gripped the wheel,
 ''lrene!" she gasped. "Oh. don't remind me of her! Do you know the whole wretehed story, MT. Barry"
 All except the details of your friendship with her and what you may know of her family"
 When she was seventeen and I n year older l brought her home here to give her q real good time, and she met Matt Pm not going to say any thing about him for he's gone, too, but the whole thing turned out to be mistake. In Il month they were married and two years later his fla thcr took on that miserable sneak of clerk. and os course his wife came to Cleveland, too"

 That was the strangest part of it!"
 la companion exclaimed. T sup- posed, naturally. that she had come 10 talk of Irene, but instead she asked questions In Il horrid eager sort of way ahout-about the Grlswold wom- an. She didn't give any first name, simply announced herself as Miss Barrowa.''
 Had you ever heard your friend mention younger sister" Barry's tone had quickened.
 Yes, at school She had mentioned her by some silly nickname. l gath cred that they came of pretty good old stock but had become reduced in circumstances.

 Irene went to see her regularly after her marriage, but never said about those trips nor brought her to Cleveland"
 "Did Irene's sister tell you nothing about herself or her plans for the future?''

of the project has been slowed up
bit because of the high water, but that
has not hindered activity on the shore
ends. The Simons-Mayrant company
has this construction in charge. 1t is
of interest to note that material for
the surerstructure or bridge proper,
is arriving and the Atlantic Bridge Co.,

AGREED ON SHIP SUBSIDIES
FOR UPBUIlDlNG AND MAlNTE
NANCE OF AMERICAN MER-
CHANT MARINE.
Merchant Marine Program Has Beer
Virtually Determined by Admins
tration Leaders.

Washington. direct and indi'
rect ship subsidies for the upbuilding
and maintenance of the American mer
chant marine have been agreed upon
by administration leaders, 1t was said
in official quarters.
The merchant marine program, 1t
was added, has been virtually deter
mined and was in the drafting stage
with Chairman Lasker and experts OF
the shipping board engaged in the
preparation of tentative bill for In
PRODUCTION in both branches OF con
gress late next week when President
Harding plans to submit the admins
tration recommendations.
A direct subsidy amounting to about
$50, 100000 annually was said to have
been agreed upon by the president
Chairman Lasker and other republican
leaders. The basic rate, it was added
would be one-half Of one per cent pei
ton per hundred miles. This would be
paid to operators Of American ships
to aid in their operation and the ex
tension Of their trade routes. The one
half cent rate would be given to yes
sells Of low speed and a sliding scale
it was said, would increase the rate to
as high as one and three-Quarters
cents per ton per hundred miles fol-
the speediest American vessels.
The direct subsidy, it was stated
would be the principal charge upon
the treasury, while more benefits, Of
ficials believe, would be received by
the merchant marine from the indi
rect subsidies. These would include
special rates for carrying the United
States mail and preferential railroad
rates. The latter under the tenta
tive administration bill now being pre-
pared, technically would be in the
form Of reduced cargo rates on Ameri
can vessels when shippers would be
given a reduced cargo rate on Ameri'
can vessels when shipping merchan'
disc to an American port for export
vessels operated by the emergency
feet corporation.

NATIONAL BANKS
/. RESOURCES GROW
CONDITION OF BANKS IN DECEM-
eER DESCRIBED AS VERY
SATISFACTORY"
INCREASE OF s4O6,Ooo,0O0
Shows the "Most Satisfactory Turn in
Financial Affairs" of the Coun-
try Since 1919.

Washington. Of the ma
tional banks of the country, exclusive
of re-discounts amounting to $19,420,-
900, 900 at the last call on December 81,
showed an increase Of $406, 900
over the previous call in September,
according to an analysis issued by
Comptroller of the Currency Crissin-
ger. The condition Of the national
banks in December, he declared as
very satisfactory" and called atten-
ton to the fact that until September
their resources had more or less
steadily declined from their peak Of
$22, I'll ,000,0 in December, 1919.
Conditions of the national banks,
as reported by Mr.. Crissinger, were
said in a formal statement issued by
the White House to show "the most
satisfactory turn in the financial af-
fairs of the country that has been reg
istered by bank statement since the
conclusion of 1919"
1T demonstrates" the statement
continued, that the process Of liqui-
dation has been proceeding at such
an excellent rate that 1t may fairly
be said that we are we'll on the road to
getting the frozen credits thawed
out. In this regard, indeed, it Is by
Tar the most satisfactory showing
that has been made since the phrase
frozen credits was invented
at must be borne in mind" the
statement said, that the national
banks represent considerable less
than half of the total banking capac-
ity of the nation. 1t is therefore safe
to assume that the state savings and
private banks and trust companies
have experienced the same turn in
the tide that is noted in the case OF
national banks.
I'VE may, therefore, conclude that
the figures for national banks may
safely be doubled in order to get an
approximate representation of the Sit
uation as to the entire banking es-
tablishment of the nation.
Under any analysis, the figures in
dubitably demonstrate that the peak
Of liquidation and consequent depres-
sion was passed somewhere between
September 6, last, and December 81,
last, and that the tendency has been
steadily toward improving business
and less reliance of business upon
the support of the banks.
"Of precisely like tenor are re-
cent advices from the war finance
corporation, which reports progress
sive liquidation of its loans and
general improvement Of conditions in
the agricultural industry. Recent stab
ilizations of prices for agricultural
staples have brought the farmers to
the point where they are able to
realize something at least approx
mating costs Of production, and can
look forward hopefully to still further
improvements in no very distant fu'
ture.'

Graduates May Not be Commissioned


Washington.-The house naval COM
mittee, in trying to discover some way
of reducing appropriations for the ma
val establishment next year. was re-
ported to have agreed informally to
recommend that the first class at An
napolis, to be graduated in June
would be turned back to civil life
without commissions in the navy.
Although members declined to dis
cuss this proposal, 1t is understood
that such a recommendation probably
will be made, along with the further
proposal that the number Of men to
be admitted to the academy each
year to be reduced from five to two
for each member of congress. Secre'
tary DENLY proposed that the reduc'
ton be cut on a congressional allot-
ment from five to three.

Guiding New National and Polls,

closed by the board Of commission
ers, the governing body Of the Dis
trict of Columbia.

"in most cases" structural weak
ness and inadequate fire protection
had been disclosed by their inves-
tigation.
