"You know who she is, you say"
"Sure / do. Old Pierre, over at
Perond's, told me- He never forgets
a face, or name, that old duffer.
He knew you the minute you blew in,
and he knew her, too; she'd been there
before Summing"
"Who is she, then?"
That's all right know; but
amt fool enough to blow it over the
wire. If you'll come over here and
have talk, I'll spill a few things in
your ear that'll make you WISE"

"At Costigan's."
"What's become of your partner!

l turned it over swiftly in my mind,
the receiver still at my ear. l felt no
particular fear Of Harris to be sure,
in all probability, he was only feeling
about in the dark, hoping in this way
to learn something of value, yet it

Costigan was behind the bar, but,

shook hands cordially, removing his

token that he had changed his occupa-
tion.

"Said he was goin' to. He's waitin'

He pushed a passage through the
crowd, his breadth Of body according
me ample room in which to follow
without being obstructed, and opened
the closed door with a pass-key. To
a wave of his big hand l passed con-
fidently past him, and entered. The
next instant he had pressed me for
ward, came in also, and closed the
door; the sharp click of the lock
sounded like the report Of a pistol
One startled glance at the interior
told me 1 was trapped, and the swift
instinct of defense led me to step
aside, so that I should have my back
to the wall. Harris sat in the swivel
chair, with feet elevated on the desk,
sardonically grinning at me over
half-chewed cigar tilted between his
teeth. A white rag was bound round
his head. through which few drops
OF blood had oozed, leaving a dark
stain. Leaning against the wall op-
posite was Waldron, one eye half
closed, and his lip split, giving to his
face a look of savage brutality, rem
dered peculiarly sinister by grim
effort to smile. Costigan remained
motionless, with back against the door,
as though thus barring all possibility
of escape. l had walked into their
trap, and the jaws had closed.
The grin on Harris face maddened
me. "Wen," l said coldly, ''it was
stall, was it? What is the idea?"
He laughed, without changing his
attitude.
This happens to be our turn to
play, DAILY" he returned, apparently
well satisfied with his smartness.
"Then you have nothing to tell me?'
"Oh, yes, / have; I've got HI of

six burglaries which set the sedate
college town of Granville on edge
Wednesday night and caused the
entire male student body of Denison
university to be lined up and ex-
amined for buckshot wounds, were
solved today.
The man who was hit by the
buckshot from Marshal Shipley's
rifle was Paul Phyphers, Richmond
Heights, o., a senior in the prepa-
tory school. His condition was dis
covered when he came here for
treatment. The burglaries, he told
police today, were perpetrated by a
club of "hard fellows" To be a
member Of this organization, one
must pull" a job of burglary, the
prisoner said. Nothing was ever
taken on the jobs, he added.

New Invention Will

At Door of Bee Hive

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pro-
verbal "busy bee" is to be kept
still buster if an ingenious little con.
trivance just invented by a govern.
ment scientist is adopted by the
apiaries of the country. An official
of the bureau of entomology advised
the bureau of standards today that
he had invented a device which will
operate on the principles of the turn
stile and that it will register the
arrival home and departure of ev-
cry bee that enters the hive on honey
making errands. The apparatus
consists, it was explained, of a gate
to be placed at the entrance to a
beehive with series of telephone
message registers attached in such
a way as to register each time a

The inventor explained that about
100000 bees go out during the day,
on honey gathering expeditions, and
that while considerable electrical en-.
ergy- was needed to operate the re-
cording gate on the average hive,
the amount of energy expended by
the device each time a bee passed

Diver Is Victorious
In Under-Sea Fight
With Big Devil Fish

TACOMA, Wash, April 22.-Bat-
Ting for his life so feet beneath the
surface of Puget Sound, Walter Nc
Cray, a diver known in marine cir
cles from Alaska to California,
came out victorious here yesterday
over a giant devil fish.
The monster wound it's tentac1es
so tightly about McCray that he
was unable to reach the knife he
carries for protection. When one
tentacle threatened to cut off the air
supply, McCray, through the SUBJ
marine telephoL called for a short
steel wrecking bar. With this wea-
pom he was able to pierce the body
of the devil fish and at last, with
man and monster still struggling
desperately, McCray was drawn to
the surface by his assistant and 9TH
or men called to help.
While Richard Burnett, a dock
Waterman, stood by with drawn pis-
tolls, unable to shoot because the
diver and devil fish were so COM
pletely tangled, others attacked with
what weapons there were at hand
and finally the devil fish released its
hold and disappeared beneath the
water.
The devil fish was on of the
largest ever seen in these waters,
q d the first. McCray said, that ever
a lcked him.
McCray, who suffered chiefly from
exhaustion, was prepared to resume
di Jing today.

Woodrow Wilson
AS | KNOW HIM
BY JOSEPH P. TUMULTY.

the League of Nations is once
organized it will afford a TO-
rum not now available for bring
ing the opinion of the world, and
of the United States in particu-
lar, to bear on just such prob
lens. WOODROW WILSON,.
OF course, the thing which lay
close to Woodrow Wilson'S heart
was the setting UP of the League
Of Nations. Unless England and
France should consent to the es.
tablishment Of league as part OF
world settlement, any solution OF
the Irish question through the in
fluence Of world opinion was not IN
the reckoning. The wise, prudent
thing, therefore, to do was first to
establish a world court before when
the cause Of any oppressed peoples
might be brought. This is just
what he had in mind and what ne
succeeded in doing. To have thrust
a settlement of Ireland's affairs INTO
the foreground Of the peace confer
ence and to have made 1t a sine
qua non would have been futile ana
foolish, and might have resulted IN
disaster. Unfortunately, the friends
of Irish freedom, deprecating ana
bitterly resenting well-consldered
| methods like this, were des1rous OF
having the matter thrust into the
early conferences at Paris. Inc
president knew that England would
never consent to this and would re-
sent any attempt on his part to car
nv out this idea. If the president
| had done so, England would undoubt-
| eddy have withdrawn from the con-
| ference and thus the great cause OF
the League of Nations, which form
ed the foundation stone upon which
the, armistice was based, would have
gone by the board. The president
was looking far beyond a mere rec
ognition of the Irish republic. He
was seeking to accomplish its Sc
curity and guarantee it's permanency
through the fundamentally OF a
world court like the League OF Ma
tions. What would it have awaited
Ireland to have been granted domin-
ion government or independence I'M
less contemporaneously with the
grant there was set up an instru-
mentality that would guarantee and
protect it. The only thing upon
which the peace conference func-
toned was the settlement of the af-
fairs Of those nations affected by
| the war.
Could Not Bring Up Question
Why didn't Wilson bring Irelands
cause to the attention Of the peace
conference? was the query which
frequently reached us at the White
House.
The president, in his western
speeches, discussed this matter in
the following way:
| 'It was not within the privilege
Of the conference of peace to act
upon the right of self-determination
of any peoples except those which
had been included in the territories
of the defeated empires-that is to
say, it was not then within their
power-but the moment the cove
nant of the League Of Nations is
adopted it becomes their right. If
the desire for self-determination Of
any people in the world is likely
to affect the peace Of the world or
the good understanding between ma
tions it becomes the business of the
league; it becomes the right of any
member of the league to call atten.
ton to it; it becomes the function of
the league to bring the whole process
of the opinion of the world to bear
upon that very matter"

CALOMEL GOOD
BUT TREACHEROUs

Next Dose may Salivate,
Shock Liver or Attack
Your Bones

You know what calomel Is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening
you. Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into your sys-
tenn.
If you feel bilious, headachy, corr
stipated and all knocked out. Just go
to your druggist and get bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable SUBJ
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
than nasty calomel and without maxi
ing you sick, you just so back and
get your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
No salts necessary. Give 1t to the
children because it is perfectly harm
less and can not salivate.
