RADICAL BUT
WON'T PASS.

This isn't to say that Labor as a
whole, isn't more radical in Great
Britain than it is in, the United
States. It's considerably more so.
But the time hasn't come for Eng
land to be Bolshevized. The Labor
ties are in favor of a levy on capital
sufficient to relieve England of her
pressing postwar financial embar-
rassments and the proposition has
some support outside the party. If
times stay as hard as they are now,
it's conceivable that such a policy
might win the Endorsement of ma
iority of the voters. It would
amount to some system of taxation
designed to bear especially upon ac-
cumulated wealth, but there's no
chance that it would take it all.
For even so drastic program the
time isn't ripe yet. The last cleo
Cion showed it.
Snowden's proposals are revolu-
tionary, all right, but they won't
be adopted. That's certain.
It's as if Meyer London. the So
cialist member Of the House Of Rep
resentatives, had proposed at the last
session of Congress, to socialize the
United States. It would have been a
radical suggestion, but nobody would
have paid much attention to it, be-
cause everybody'd have known that
it wouldn't pass.

BRITAIN'S FEAR

The British government, accord

and more disturbed at the evident
progress of negotiations between
Paris and Berlin looking toward a

without giving England any voice in
the matter.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON
GIVES WOMEN CREDIT
Attendance Figures Show Big
Increase in His League.

Women fans deserve much Of the
credit for making this one OF basebalrs
most prosperous years, Ban johnson.
American league president, said after
adding attendance figures for nearly
half the season.
THE frequent attendance OF wom-
en-" he said, has added such refine
ment TO baseball that 1t no longer APP
peals only TO rough-and-tumble
crowd, but to a class of sport-lovlng
people that ranks with those who at
tend the hrst-class theaters and even
the opera.
Years ago the few women one saw
at a baseball game were there out
Of curiosity They asked foolish Ques-
tions and had not even vague idea
of what 1t was all about. Today the
many women In the stands are there
because they love the sport. just as
they love the drama, the dance and
Out-ofdoors activities.
The mere presence OF women In the
stands has accomplished exactly what
baseball fought so hard for years to
eifect-it has eliminated rowdyism
Johnson recalled the days OF near
~ two decades ago when the specta-
tors overwhelmed all whom they did
not like with barrages Of pop bottles
and commented.
''rhe average hard guy Is less apt
to make a spectacle Of himself If there
are women near"
Johnson said that ladies day" had
drawn greater crowds to the parks
this season than any other day Of
the week in past years.
The first six weeks Of play this year,
he said, had attracted $4,000 more
persons than the same period Of 1922.

made the chauffeur's story that Slyke
owed him money seem reasonable. 1t
even limited that the chauffeur had
tried to blackmall Slyke, and made
Blacks theory that Briffeur had

continued. did not know Briffeur's
name; but their description of the
man who unlocked the door of the
vault for them fitted Briffeur."
But" l ventured.
"But what7" he countered.
THAT connects Slyke and Briffeur."
He was silent for a moment. his
race grave. Then he said slowly,
Eyes, Pelt, it does. If the chauffeur
had not been killed himself. he would
be suspected of causing Sykes death.
But there is one thing"
"And what is thatg' l asked.
"Briffeur said some one else was
implicated In that robbery. What
want to know is, who was that other
man." He paused, then added:
There is no doubt, Pelt, that Slyke
had been selling whisky for some
time. Where he got It, and who was
in on 1t with him, we don't know.
Maybe tonight we can find out"
Currie's voice called from below
that the car was waiting to take us
to Sykes house, and we rose. AS l
started for the door, BARLEY handed
me a package and gave me a playful
shove.
Don't drop them" he laughed.
l gave him disguised look. But
these are the states"
$50 they are but they may talk for
us tonight"
And with that absurd suggestion In
my ears, I went down the stairs to
join Currie.

The butler seemed to expect us, and
showed us at once into the large room
in which the inquest had been held.
BARLEY placed his bag and the pack
age of states on a small table in the
center of the room, Roche sat down
heavily in a chair, and the rest Of us
stood until Miss Potter entered She
seemed to be expecting US also, and
for the first time, since had met her,
seemed almost at her ease. AS she
greeted us, the bell rang. and a mo-
ment later the butler ushered in Doc
tor King. He glanced at BARLEY.
then gave US all word Of greeting.
we seated ourselves around the
table with the exception Of BARLEY,
who remained standing at. one end.
He was a different BARLEY from the
one who had laughed and joked with
us during the past few days. His face
was stern, and his tired eyes glanced
from one to the other of us soberly.
The butler brought in a glass of wa
ter and placed 1t on the table.
BARLEY waited until he had left thu
room again before he spoke, his voice
low and hesitating:
Il have brought you here tonlgL'
at Miss Potter's request She be-
lleves that II is possible to get in
touch with the spirits of the dead,
and that we may receive a message
from Mr.. Slyke that will tell us who
killed him. She has asked US to be
present as witnesses"
Currie looked at me as II he

A glance at Barley showed that he
was In earnest, and I sank back in
my chair bewildered. I knew that he
did rot believe ia spirituallsm,

tion from ali sides and had ma Ie a
srecial study Of it. I was puzzled as

few moments. Meanwhile am
going to try a little experiment Of

He paused, then continued: "You
know It Is believed by thousands that
messages from the spirit world are
written on states by unseen hands.
The test Of the genuineness Of such
messages Is the absence Of an oppor-
tunity for fraud on the Part Of the
