SENATE CAMPAIGN
BEFORE PRESIDENT
Holds First Conference or
Election of Successor to
Knute Nelson.

In the Office of President Harding
today the first serious conference OF
republicans in Washington was held
with a view toward the election OF
a republican to the Senate to succeed
the late Senator knute Nelson OF
Minnesota, and also to discuss the
general plans of campaign for the
election of republican Senate in
1924.
For more than one hour Senators
Moses of New Hampshire, chairman:
Wadsworth of New York and Pepper
of PENNSYLVANIA, members of the Senate
republican campaign committee, were
closeted with the executive, during
which time. it was said. many details
concerning the political situation
throughout the country especially In
Minnesota, were freely discussed.
Ii was fntimated that the President
is most anxious to see the election OF
a republican in Minnesota. and that
he assured the senators that he would
do all in his power to help the cam
paign.
The Presidents part. as explained
by one senator. will be confined TO the
speeches he is to make on his western
tour. 1t is the opinion of this senator
that the Presidents utterances on his
way to the coast will be of conSid-
erably more political significance than
is now generally expected. The
President outlined to this delegation
the nature of the speeches he Is to
make and received their hearty ap-
proval.
Primaries in Minnesota will be held
on Monday and the election on July
IS. Chairman Moses OF the Senate
campaign committee will leave wash
ineton in a few days to go to that
state TO cooperate with the repub-
lican leaders there in maintaining a
successful campaign.

Charities, Dies in Coblenz.

From coblenz letter 70 New York Evening Post.
Sergt. Michael Kelly, retired,
United States Army, in which he was
master engineer, senior grade, who
died in CoblenZ a few days ago at
fifty one years old, was one of the
best rifle shots i'll the United States.
If he had been an American citizen
he would have received a commission
years ago. 1t was not until 1920 that
he became naturaliZed at Washing
ton, d. G.
Kelly was known to the people of
Coblenz as the dollar prince" He
had considerable means and was
charitable and generous. 1t was his
habit to give money TO children who
looked hungry, and sometimes when
he was in Il store and saw a salesgirl
who looked undernourished ne would
leave some money or the counter and
walk away. IN his diary We're entries
such as this: saw two small chill
dren today that looked as if they
didn't get enough to eat; gave them
20 marks"
Kelly won the first prize--a beau
tiful gold medal. awarded by the
French government-for the best pis-
tol shot at competition held at the

ARMY UNIFORMS
TO STAY AS IS"
Officers Notified No Changes
to Occur for Two
Years.

The War Department has notified
Army officers generally that there
will be no change in Army uniform
regulations for at least two years. "
The decision follows the recent dis
cussion in Army circles of the ad-
visibility of changing the present
high collar uniform for a more COM
Portable roll collar type and also as
to the benefits which might be de-
rived from re-establishing dress
uniform to supplement the present
Khaki and olive-drab field uniforms
which are the only authorized wear
for all ranks of the service.
AS concession to those officers
opposed to using the field uniform lor
social dress occasions in Army posts,
Secretary Weeks has authorized the
use of civilian full dress or dinner
jacket at all garrsions, posts and
camps.
Army officers recently were asked
to. record their opinion as To uniform
changes in a poll of the service o.
the point. The figures have not been
made public, but the commanding
generals were notified that there Is
no overwhelming sentiment existing
at present Tor any change in the uni
form"
Reasons for deferring uniform
change considerations for two years
were given as the necessity tor econ
omy, due to large stocks now on
hand and which must be altered, the
hardship and additional cost to COM
missioned officers which would re-
suit especially during this period of
high prices" and the fact that this
hardship also would affect National
Guard and reserve officers now out
fitted with uniforms prescribed III
existing regulations.

on with it?"
Rogers shook his head. II don't

that the city police did not want to
drop It Anyway, they held the men;
and few days later announced that
they had found a piece of paper torn
from newspaper in the room where
Slyke had discovered them. Several
days later they announced that they
had found a newspaper with a torn
corner in Horns pocket, into which
the piece that they had found at
Sykes house fitted"
BARLEY asked with q weary air,
did they later find a piece of cloth
torn from the coat or trousers Of one
of the men? Find it, perhaps, on
bush near the window the men had
jumped out OFF,
Rogers gave his friend a startled
look.
II thought you had never heard Of
the case? They did find such a piece
of cloth"
BARLEY half laughed. II never
heard word of it until you told me.

Central office for about five years. In
that time he had built up for himself
the finest reputation that any city
detective had ever had. He was not
a brilliant man, nor, for that matter,
an educated one, but his rare COM
mon sense and his absolute honesty
had won for him the respect of the
people Of the city.
He took q chair, and after saying,
Hello, john" to BARLEY and a word
to me, he took cigar from the box
that BARLEY pushed over to him.
Then, leaning across the table, he
picked up one of the volumes. The
book fell open at picture; he start
ed as he looked at it, then handed 1t
to me with SLY wink.
That's a fine sort of a book to
show an honest and moral police Off
Ger. If / found bookseller on the
Avenue with one, l would have him
pinched."
BARLEY swung around in his chair,
saw which book 1t was, and laughed.
"Well, Rogers" he said, "the man
that wrote that book died good many
hundred years ago. He was the greatest
adventurer of his day, the first real
blackmailer, a man that made his liv-
ing by his wits. Also, he happened
to be a poet and dramatist, as well
as a rogue"
Rogers took his cigar from his
mouth and responded with a grin
what we call today a crook"
could see that there was some
thing on the chiefs mind, but just
what it was we were not to learn fol-
some time. He talked, first about
the rain, then about the baseball
team, in fact of everything but the
purpose that had brought him. That
was his way, as we both knew II
was not until he had lighted a second
cigar and had been silent several mo-
ments that he turned to BARLEY and
said:
"John, have case for you"
BARLEY threw me a quick glance
then answered, But you know, Rog
ers, / don't care to take up any more
cases until 1 have been away fishing
and had a good rest"
The chief nodded, but added We'll
this won't be much of a case. It's
not my affair, anyway. l happened tC

he asked me to get you to look into
the matter and make him report"
/ glanced at BARLEY. The governor
Of the state did not, as a rule, interest
himself in criminal matters. If this
was a case that he, wished Bartley
to investigate, then 1t must be some
thing very unusual, indeed. By the
little CLEAN of interest in his eyes
could see that he agreed with me
"What is the case?' he asked.
"Well," answered Rogers after q
short pause, 81 don't suppose yor

may have seen it mentioned in the
papers since you returned. 1t al

have thought the affair over care
fully, and the more think of 1t
the more puzzled / am. II Rogers
told US all the facts, then there
are two well-defined conclusions TO
be drawn. The first Is that the
two men are innocent. The second
is that Slyke knew who 1t was
that broke into his house, but had
strong reasons for claiming he
could not recognize them. If his
step-daughter could swear to the
identity Of the men who were ar
rested, he should have been able
to recognize them. But he says
he did not and, we are told, ne
wanted the case dropped"
1t was John BARLEY, the great
criminologist, who was puzzled.
He had been called into the affair
by the governor of the state. VINO
wanted some facts to guide him
before taking action on an appli-
cation for pardon for two men
who, 1t was charged, had been
wrongly convicted Of burglary
Only a case of burglary, at the
start, but it led to series of mys-
terious crimes that required all OF
Bartlsy's powers to unravel. When
he did reach the solution, he sum
moned it. apparently, out of the
darkness.
Here is a new story by the au-
thor Of "The Underwood Mystery"
and, like it's predecessor, has that
rare thing, a new ending in detec-
tive fiction; an ending which does
not strain the belief of the reader
in the way the detective works out
his solution.

such as one would expect to find In

BARLEY glanced up at the sound
and said, "That must be Rogers"

For a number Of years Mr.. Jack
son has been gathering statistics OF
various activities within the group;
they have been of great service to the
general public. This year, because OF
the nationwide interest in instru-
mental music, Mr.. Jackson has under
taken the task of getting statistics on
colored bands and orchestras. These
will include professional. military,
school, church and private organiza-
tons. There have never been any
statistics gathered on this subject,
and 1t would afford nice little prize
contest for the newspapers to guess
how many there are in America. The
results will no doubt be an agreeable
surprise.

CUT AIR FRICTION ON TRAINS
Railroads Reduce Coal Cost by the
Use of Planes on Their
Locomotives.

For many years attempts have been
made to get rid of part of the resist
ance which railway train encounters
in rushing through the air, says the
Washington Star. 1t Is easy to un-
derstand that the pressure on the
front of swiftly moving locomotive,
which equals the force of a strong
gale of wind, can only be overcome
by an expenditure of energy greater
than would otherwise be required to
run the train. If that pressure could
be removed, or considerably decreased,
less coal would have to be burned.
Experiments to diminish the pres
sure were begun many years ago, and
in some cases practical outcome has
been reached. One plan adopted is
very simple, and involves inclined
planes attached TO the fore end Of the
engine in such way that instead Of
a square front it presents to the air
sharp prov, like that of ship.
1t might be thought that little would
be gained in this way. but repeated
trials have shown that in some cases
as much as 10 or II per cent can thus
he saved in the consumption Of coal,
and the average saving amounts to
about per cent.
This is so important an item that a
large number Of locomotives on one
system have been fitted with the de-
vice.
= When the wind Is blowing directly
in the face of the engine the resist
'ance to be overcome is, Of course,
much Increased, and the value of
prow-shaped front is proportionately
greater.
In some Of the experiments it was
shown that by the combined effects Of
placing inclined planes In front and
filling up the spaces between the
spokes Of the wheels, one-half Of the
air resistance could be done away
with.

DRUG SUSPECT GOES
FREE ON TECHNICALLY

William r. Jones, Pullman car por-

carry punishment of Ave years in
prison, went free today on a techni-
cality.
Jones was accosted at a Minneap-
oils railroad station by a Federal mar
cotic drug agent and a Minneapolis
city detective, who were hunting mar
cotic drug smugglers operating be-
tween Canada and the United States.
The agent searched Jones. accord
ing to witnesses, and In a small grip
he found twenty-six ounces of mar
cotic drugs, valued at $26 an ounce.
When the case came to trial 1t was
shown the agent searched Jones with

had done the searching, the act would
have been legal, II was said. /.
