poomsdorf had seemingly achieved
his purpose. and his prisoners lay
crushed In his hands. A fear in
finitely worse than that OF toll or
hardship had evidently killed the
fighting spirit in Bcss. Lenore had
Scen broken by poomsdorts firs,
ords. And now all the structure
- Ned's life had seemingly toppled
about him.
The lesson that Doomsdorf taught
had gone deep. not 20 DO forgotten
In any happier moment that life
might have in store for him There
was no blowing into flame the
ashes OF his old philosophy. II was
dead and cold in his breast. no mat.
ter what turn fate should take, his
old concelt and selfsufficiency
could never como again. lie was
down 20 earth al last. The game
had been too big for him. The old
Ned Cornet was dead. and only n
broken. impotent. hopeless thing
was left TO dwell in his battered
body.
He had found the training camp.
but il was more bitter than ever
his father had limited that It could
be. Indeed Godfrey Cornet. in
those broodlng prophecies at which
his son had laughed, had been all
too hopeful regarding Il. He had
said there was way thru and
on. always there was n way thru
and on; but here the only out.trail
was ono Of infinite shadow 10 an
unknown destination. Death-that
was tho way out. That was the
only way.
II was curious how easy II was
TO think OF death. Formerly the
word had invoked a sense OF some
thing infinitely distant. nothing
that could seemingly touch him
closely. a thought that never came
clearly into focus in his brain. All
once Il had showed Itself as the
most real OF all realities. II might
be his before another night, before
the end OF the present hour. II
had come quick enough 10 Knut
sen. The least resistance 10 Dooms.
DORIS viii would bring II on him
self. Many things were lies. and
tho false was hard 10 tell from the
true. but in this regard there was
no chance for question Dooms-
dorf would strike the life from
him In an instant at the first hint
OF revolt.
II was wholly conceivable that
such a thing could occur. Ned
could endure grinding toll TIL he
died: even such personal abuse as
he had received an hour or 80 be-
fore might find him crushed and
unresisting. but yet there remained
certain offcnses that could not be
endured. Ned could not forget that
both Lenore and Bess were wholly
in Doomsdorfs power. A brutal.
savage man. Il was all too easy
70 believe that the time would
come soon when he would forget
the half.promise he had given them
he smoky gaze that no had bent
oward Bess meant. perhaps. that
no was already forgetting Il. In
that case would there DO anything
for him but to fight and die? No
matter how great n weakling he
mad been, the last mandate Of his
honor demanded that. And a bit.
terness inteffable descended upon
him when he realized that even
such bravery could not in the least
help the two girls-that his death
would be as unavailing and Inn.
potent as his life.
How false he had beer to him.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY SHOWS HEALTHY TONE,
 FEDERAL BOARD SAYS

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Current increases in the activity of com merce and industry appear devoid of speculative tendencies and so far as present indications go generally healthy and prosperous condition ex- ists, according to a statement issued tonight by the federal reserve board. In support of the assertion that the present credit expansion is due main- ly to the larger financial require ments, the board said 1t had found little evidence of accumulated stocks and therefore no proof or speculative holdings.
 It has been found certain, the board went on. that while there has been some speculation, as is always true in period of advancing prices, there is every evidence that the great volume of production in recent months has been moving through regular channels and Is being an- sorbed in consumers buying. The larger marketing of manufactured products is shown, the board de- clared, through the records of rail transportation taken in conjunction with the fact that first of the year inventories of retail stores disclosed only moderate stocks on hand.
 The board viewed the general con ditions with extreme optimism and declared that it represented vastly increased or. rather restored, buying power in every section. Increased buying, it was explained. resulted from fuller employment and larger payrolls and from some increases in the net proceeds to the farmer in the sale of his products"
 Further. the board said, 1t is known that in years when produc- tion is large both consumption and saving are also greatest.
 The board believed that general commercial expansion will soon bring heavier demands for credit than have been experienced for some time and predicted that the reserve banks will be brought into closer relationship with production, trade and prices than they have for many months. The contact will be made, it was pointed out through the re- discounting operations, and the board appeared hopeful that the closer alignment would be helpful both to the country and the banks.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN
 HEFL|N CONTROVERSY IS WRITTEN BY PLATT

WASHINGTON. March 4.-Another chapter in the controversy between Senators Heflin, Alabama, and Glass. Virginia, over what the former often has termed as the alleged deadly deflation policy of Wall Street" and the federal reserve board was writ ten today in Senate records by re- ceipt of a letter from Acting Gov ernor Platt of the board, explaining failure of the board to furnish cer- tain information sought by Senator Heflin under recent resolution.
 Senator Heflin sought to obtain list of correspondents of federal re- serve banks to whom were sent the speech of Senator Glass last year denying Senator Heflin's Charges of an alleged credit deflation "conspir acy." In his letter today Mir. Plate said it was impossible to obtain the banks lists and that the board also doubted its authority to demand them from the banks. which regard their mailing lists as confidential.
 Mr. Platt added that Senator Glass speech was recognized by all au thorities as the most complete and masterly explanation and position of the federal reserve system ever de- liyered"

SAY ROCKEFELLER FIRM IS DOMINATING INDUSTRY.
In Some Respects Conditions At Present Are Worse Than
 Prior to Famous Decision of
 1911, Report of Lar FoIIette Investigating Body Asserts

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Com- plete control and domination of the oil industry by the Standard com panies in violation of the 1911 dis solution decree of the supreme court was charged by the LaFollette oil Investigating committee in it's report presented to the Senate to- day after a three-months inquiry into conditions and prices in the oil business.
 The Standard companies were declared in the report to exercise this control in such a manner as to fix 'the price which the producer of crude oil receives at the well. the price which the refiner receives for his gasoline and kerosene, as we'll as the retail price paid by the consumer"
 The report declared the commit tee, through it's inquiry, had found that this control was exercised through methods more subtle" than those used by the Standard Oil com pany of New Jersey and it's sub sidiaries prior to the dissolution de- cree, and with the result that ''in some respects the industry as 8 whole,' as well as the public, are more completely at the mercy of the Standard oil interests than be- fore the supreme court forced di- vision of the New Jersey company. Territory Divided.
 The methods of control as set forth in the report included division of marketing territory between the various Standard companies on al- most the same basis as before the dissolution. ownership of the princi- pal pipe lines. interlocklng stock ownership, fixing of prices in the producing fields. excessive and dis criminatory freight rates, and own ership of the basic patents for crack ing or gasoline manufacturing proc- esses.
 If a few great oil companies are permitted to manipulate prices for the next few years as they have been doing since 1920" the report asserted after setting forth the evils in the Industry as seen by the com mittee. the people of this country must be prepared before long to pay at least one dollar gallon for gaso- line.'

 Recommendations Made.
 Eight recommendations to curb the evils found were contained in the report. These recommendations were set forth as follows:
