 You're quite right, Inspector Well, we mustn't keep you. Good afternoon" and Antony smiled pleas antly at him.
 Good afternoon" said Bill
 Antony stood looking after the in- spector as he strode off, silent for so long that Bill shook him by the arm at last, and asked him rather grossly what was the matter.
 Antony shook his head slowly from side to side.
 "I don't know; really don't know It's too deviish what I keep think ing. He can't be as cold -blooded as that"
 "Who?"
 Without answering Antony led the way back to the garden seat on which they had been sitting. He sat there with his head in his hands.
 "Oh, I hope they find something" he murmured. "Oh, l hope they do.'

START ID REBUILD
 BANK OF ENGLAND
Long Projected Plans to Become a Reality in the Near Future

London. Aug 12,-The long pro- jected rebuilding of the Bank of England will start almost immediate ly the Daily Express understands A meeting of the directors is to be held soon to make the necessary financial arrangements.
 Bakers Plans It Is understood that the plans to be adopted are those Of Herbert Baker, the architect who collabor- ated with Sir Edwin Lutyens for the new capitol at Lelhi. MT, Baker was also the designer of the South Afri- can governments administrative buildings at Pretoria. and Of the cathedrals at Capetown, Pretoria and Salisbury (Rhodesia) and the Cecil Rhodes memorial on Table Noun tain.
 Stan Is Doubled.
 The staff of the Bank of England Is now double what it was shortly be- fore the war, largely owing 10 the fast growth of the National debt, and the existing accommodations are ut terly inadequate. Sections of the staff have been working for long time at various places in the vicinity of the bank.
 Schemes Considered.
 A special committee of the direc- tors Including Cecil Lubbock, has been considering alternative schemes for the rebuilding. The idea of rag ing the whole of the existing one- story building to the ground was, it Is understood. abandoned, partly on sentimental grounds and partly be- cause of the difficulties of obtaining accommodation for the staff during the reconstruction. The present pro- posal is to retain the outer wall, which abuts on Threadneedle street. St. Bartholomews Lane, Lothbury and Princess street This wall, which ea- tirely surrounds the site of between three and four acres was erected from the designs of Sir John Seames about 13o years ago, shortly after the Gordon Riots. when the bank clerks, sword and pistol in hand. defended the bank against a furious mob.
 Description
 The wall Is in the classic Greciac style, and in some places is 40 feet high. Security demanded that it have no windows and the architect achieved the difficult task of making the wall look ornamental by masking it with Corinthian columns and blank windows. The new building will rise within the wall to a height of 70 or so feet above it, and will thus be nearly 12o feet in hegha.

 Bill looked up at him with a start. Nor" went on Antony. "can you say, This Is my friend Mir. Gilingham. who is staying with you. We were just going to have a game of bowls "
 "Yes, it's dashed difficult. I don't know what to say. I've been rather forgetting about Mark" He wan dered over to the window and then turned back to his friend
 All the same" he said, you wanted to find the passage, and now you've found it. Aren't you going into it at all ?"
 Antony took his arm.
 Let's go outside again." he said. We can't go into it now anyhow. It's too risky, with Cayley about. Bill, feel like you-just a little bit frightened. But what I'm frightened of I don't know. Anyway. you want to go on with it, don't you?"
 Yes" said Bill firmly. We must"
 Then we'll explore the passage this afternoon if we get the chance. And if we don't get the chance, then we'll try 1t tonight"
 Do you really think we might find Mark hiding there" asked Bill
 It's possible said Antony. Either Mark or" He pulled himself up quickly. No" he murmured to him self, T won't let myself think that rot yet, anyway. It's too horrible"

Representative Raker Sees
Wholesale Evictions if
Act Is Not Extended.

With the rent control law for the
District scheduled to come up for con-
sideration in the House next Monday,
Representative Raker Of California
took occasion late yesterday to criti-
else Congress for failure to pass this
Legislation before the present law ex-
pires by Limitation on Monday.
Representative Raker declared on
the floor of the House that realtors
are waiting for the law to die. so that
they may jump the rents and turn
people out into the streets.
Scores District Realtors.
J. Representative Curry, republican
California, interrupting, asked MI
Raker if he knew the origin OF the
word "realtor." Mr.. Baker did not.
from the Spanish words real, meaning
royal, and tor, meaning bull"
And that's just what these real
tors have been giving us in saying
there would be no rent increases" Mr.
Raker shouted above the uproar.
Speech Causes Surprise.
The speech of Representative Raker
came as surprise while special

District rent bill. Representative
Raker catechised Chairman Campbell

House of specific instances which were
brought to his attention recently,
showing the need, he believes. for a
continuance of the rent law. He said:

necessary for the protection of the de-

WashingtonS Last Bequest
NoU Valued at $500, OOC
Money Left for National UniOersity, If Saoed, Would
Equal Amount Sought by Memorial
Association.

Had the $4,000 which George WASH
ineton left In his will for the establish
ment of national university been
safely invested, 1t is estimated that with
compound interest the bequest would
now abount to the total Of $7,500.000,
which the George Washington Memorial
Association plans to raise throughout
the country for the erection and endow-
ment of the memorial.
The bequest took the form Of fifty
shares of 800 each Of the Potomac
Company, which was the predecessor of
the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal Company.
Washington, apart from his recognized
qualities as a military leader and as a
statesman. was generally reputed In ais
own day to be a man OF sound business
sense and Of shrew judgment in finan-
cial matters. He had firm faith in the
future Of the Potomac company and In
the promise OF success in the project to
provide a route Of transportation to the
west
Shortly after his death. in 1879, the
Potomac company experienced Difficult
ties, however, and in the process of re-
organization Washington's equity was
evidently wiped out. for there Is no rec
ord as yet discovered Of the beQuest
having been turned over to the federal
government. II the certificate or other
written record Of his ownership OF the
fifty shares Of the company's stock was
transferred after his death, no trace OF
it has been found.
No Trace Found.
An inquiry into the disposition Of the
bequest was made in 1914 by Representa-
tive Simeon d. Fess of Ohio. now chair
man of the House committee on educa-
ton. In a statement at a hearing before
that committee. Of which he was then a
member. Representative Fess stated that
he had asked for a report from the
Treasury Department. That department
stated that no record Of the beQuest
having been turned over to the gov
ernment after Washington's death
could be found and the conclusion was

reached that the bequest, whatever its
real value after his death. must have
lapsed into his estate. Mr.. Fess said
that 1t had been estimated that II the
bank at compound interest 1t would
amount at that time-that is, in 1911
to about $4,000.000.
In the eight years that have elapsed
since Mr.. Fess' report 1t is evident
that this sum Of "a. .o00. 900. II continued
would now reach pretty close to the
figure which the George Washington
Memorial Association is seeking in or
der to establish the memorial. OF the
$7.500,0 900 sought by the association.
100000 is intended for the erection
and equipment Of the building: Under
the conditions of the act Of Congress
granting the site for the building, In the
Mall between 6th and 7th streets north

dowment Of at least 100000, the ad-

It remained for a woman, Mrs. Su-
sana Phelps Gage Of Ithaca, N z, to
revice. almost a century after Wash
ington's death, the project of carrying
out his wishes as to the establish
ment Of a great central educational
institution. This led to the formation
of the George Washington Memorial
Institution.
In 1909, after a careful survey OF
educational conditions. it was de-
cided that the basic purpose for which
Washington designed his bequest. the
dissemination of knowledge through
out the country" might best be serv-
ed by establishing in the capital a
great central gathering place for
meetings and discussions Of national
Importance Hence the plan for a
building for which the $7,500,000 is
now being raised. with a great audi
torium seating 1000, intended for the
permanent headquarters of all socie-
ties whose purposes and objects are
primarily Of national character.
