BUTCHERS OPPOSE BIGGER
 FEES AT SLAUGHTER HOUSE
Express Disapproval of Council Com. mittee Plan to Pay for New
 Chill Room.

Disapproval of the plan to increase fees at the municipal slaughter house
 was expressed last night by Meyer and Edward Dunn. David Gorfain and Albert Sherman. butchers. who ap- peared before special committee of the common council which is working on plans for chill room and re- frigerating system. The new system would cost s11,000. The special com- mittee proposes fees that will make the place self-supporting, pay the in- terest on the investment and part of the principal. |.
 Meyer Dunn objected because the prices are too high. Albert sherman eral years ago because, they were told, the improvements were about to be made. He said further increases would pare down the already too small margin of profit on a COW. David Gorfain wanted no cooler or refriger- ator, explaining that the present sys- tenn suits him. He said his customers want fresh beef and he was opposed to storing it six hours at the slaughter house.
 Dr. Richard w. Pullen, superintend- ent of health. replied to this objec- ton. saying that beef allowed to stand in chill room was better from a health standpoint. Chairman l.. M. Stanley of the committee, in adjourn ing the meeting, explained that the gathering was merely for the pur pose of getting sentiment of the butchers. He, said meeting of the committee will be held soon to go over the points brought out. l

He shrugged his shoulders help | lessly.
 "Pelase go," he whispered. I've got to use every method I know to enable me to get on the track of your brother-before it's too late.'
 Collecting herself with an effort, she crept from the room, closing the door after her.
 In the grim half-hour that fol- lowed she lost all sense of time. She looked up suddenly to see Pennington before her.
 I'm just off," he said quietly
 Then you know--?"
 ''He has told me as much as wanted to know"
 She regarded him doubtfully.
 Tt all sounds so utterly hopeless" she declared.
 Pennington was leaning against the table, eating bread and cheese alter nately.
 You must remember Mrs. Whey" he told her between the mouthfuls, that I have made it my business to study the movements of our arch bandit. It would be impossible for me to know all his hiding places but l have discovered a good few of them, sufficient, I feel convinced, to assist me in shifting fact from fiction. Wong-see-the intelligent youth collared in the act of making 8 hur- ried exit--is a poor sort of creature, when brought face to face with the serious problems of this life. By dint of dire threats and much patience, I gathered he was on the point of pro- ceeding to Chai-Hung's lair, to the place where your brother has been taken. In effect, we have arrived at a delightful compromise. Wong-See is between Scylla and Charybdis If he fails to join Chai-Hung--the ven- geance of that gentleman will fall upon him, swiftly and surely, whether he seeks refuge in China or any old island in the archipelago. The re- horn of the dilemma is-" He stuck his tongue in his cheek. "--death by the most horrible torture the hands of he who sees in the dark therwise-myself! Now comes the compromise. He is to proceed to hai-Hung's hiding place, as he had originally intended, | only with Pennington in his immed- ate rear. In this manner he stands ] sporting chance of lodging hor- fible end at the hands of either"
 He reached for his hat.
 Monica slipped between him and the door. -.,
 You're not going alone?"
 Most certainly"
 She stamped her foot impatiently.
 You mustn't do that" she cried. It's positively absurd. Supposing there are others waiting for Wong See in the jungje?"
 i've been in tight corners before, Mrs. Whey" he reminded her gently. and I've managed to squirm out of em somehow. If I attempt to start put with a crowd of native soldiers, he information will be tapped out on some native telegraph system almost before the men have left the barracks. Hewitt will be spirited away and the chances of rescue will become a

 At the very sound of the name the Oriental trembled visibly.
 The Englishman caught him by both shoulders and shook him vio- lently. A volume of inarticulate grunts followed Pennington plucked the knife from the woodwork.

 She heard the voluble tones of the cook boy, a yell of pain the dragging of heavy body along the floor and the servant was flung like a sack into the office, still clinging to a fimsy box with a metal handle---the only luggage he had brought with him when he arrived.

NOW co ON WITH THE STORY

''Chai-Hung called here this after noon."
 Hewitt started.
 This afternoon!" he echoed in. creduously.
 She nodded.
 He asked if you were in-and said he was going away for some time MT. Pennington was here, too. Hell tell you all about it."
 Where is Pennington now?"
 T haven't seen him since tea"
 A sudden movement in the wild garden outside attracted her atten- ton. She stepped close up to the rail and peered into the blackness. Standing half in the shadow of a stunted palm, she saw tall, gaunt figure, wearing a loose costume of pale blue material. Monica caught her brothers sleeve and pulled him for ward
 There's man out there. Jack" she told him softly. V. -s-g

 At that moment, the scarecrow raised an arm and beckoned. F.,
 How are we for time?'
 She consulted her wrist watch.
 You've twenty minutes before din- der. Don't stop out too long,"
 Hewitt looked at Monica. Thirty seconds later he had passed down the steps, making his way toward the tree.
 Mrs. Whey went in to dress for dinner.
 The deep-toned Ducun gong, rever- berating in the stiffness of the night, brought her back to the veranda. Her brother was nowhere to be seen. She hurried down the passage to his room, tapped on the door, then, get ting no response, looked in. The room wa sempty and glance sufficed to tell her he had not been there since his return. The neatly piled clean clothes were still where the servant had put them. Her mind slightly troubled she invaded his office. As she stepped toward the writing table, a grim sense of impending disaster swept over her. She thrust it from her resolutely, and pressed onward. Both hands resting on the wooden surface, she gazed horror-stricken be- fore her at a dagger with gilt handle that stuck upright in the table, its thin steel blade impaling heap of torn paper fragments. Dimly, as her, powers of reasoning stole back to her, she realized that, the tattered | document was the warrant for the ar rest of Chai-Hung, and that the yell low handle of the knife bore seven distinct black dots on the side that was turned toward her-four on the | upper half and three below
 Suddenly she became aware that Pennington-serene, immaculate-was 1t her elbow. She swung round on him fiercely.
 MT Pennington, what does all this mean? Where is Jack? What have you done with him?"
 Pennington was frankly puzzled.
 Jack? Captain Hewitt? I haven't seen him. Isn't he back yet?'
 Monica caught her breath.
 Somebody beckoned to him from The garden" she raced on wildly. we both thought it was you. Jack went out. He hasn't dressed for and there's that on his table, For Gods sake. tell me what it all means?"
 Pennington guided her to a chair,

que nunca como en- el case
del domingo ha actuado la PO-

Las inmOralidades del Hip6drOmO-di-

!. ese es la Suppression del Pool

San Juan, P. R., Die. 27, 1928.
Sr. Director de Ell MUNDO,
San Juan, p. B.
Mi distinguido amigo:
He leido en- su inlportantisimo dia-
rio ciertas manifestations de censu-
ra que hace ell presidente de la Comi-
sion Hipica la Polcia Insular por
la actitud que asumi6 ell domingo %
del corriente durante ell enorme escan-
dalo que Sc form6 en- el hip6dromo.
Yo opino que nunca en- un case tan
dificil como aquel ha podido la poll
cia actuar mas correctamente de 10
que 10 hizo.
81 ell Jefe de la Policia hubiese per
dido la serenidad y hubiera tratado de
acometer aquella enorme multitud
que protestaba los males hubiesen ST.
do mucho mayores, pues a1n suponien-
do, como es de presumir, que aquella
muchedumbre Sc hubiera concretado a
huir ante la amenaza de las macanas
de la policia; en- la confusion de La
huida, muchos infelices inocentes, So
bre todo mujeres y nifios, hubieran re-
sultado atropellados :
Hay mas peligro para la vida de los
concurrentes al hip6dromo y aun para
la propiedad cuando la multitud CORE
atropelladamente que cuando grita en-
sefal de protesta.
Hay otro extreme en- ese articulo
con ell que tampoco estoy conforme y
es ell que opina que Sc debe casti-
gar los policias que juegan en- Ell
pool.
Yo creo que Ell pool debe prohibirse
para todo ell mundo; pero mientras es-
te sancionado por la ley, es mi opinion
que los miembros de la policia tienen
perfecto derecho como cualquier otro
ciudadano, tomar parte en- un juego
que la ley sanciona protege, sobre
todo siendo como es impossible para la
policfa infuir en- ell lesultado de las ca
rreras.
ST Sc les prohibiera, ell policia que
acostumbra jugar, seguiria jugando
por mediaci6n de algdn amigo y NADIA
Sc remediaria aunque yo creo que tai
prohibici6n seria tiranica injusta.
Las inmoralidades y los escandalos
del hip6dromo no tienen NADIA mas que
un remedio este es la Suppression del
pool.
Suyo Affmo. amigo y s. S.,
