Now gentlemen. I would like to ask
you how many towns in the State of

In the committee hearing we did not
find evidence enough to bring in a

vail.
Mr.. MCDONALD Of East Machias:
Mr.. Speaker and gentlemen of the

This is not the first time that this

committee and they reported,

they have unanimously reported on

But this has been thoroughly taken

POSTMASTER WANTS
 THREE MORE MEN
Delaney Does Not Think Request
 Will Be Granted

The increasing business of the loca post office is making such demands on the carriers and clerks that Post master Delaney has made application to the post office department at Wash ington, D. C., for authority to appoint three additional carriers.
 It is doubtful that the request will be granted as the department Is prac- ticing economy at the present time. MT. Delaney was recently requested to forward data, relative to the amount of business being carried on at the local office, to the proper officials at Washington.
 Postmaster Delaney said that he appreciates the need of three deliver ies in the business district and that if the request for additions to the force are granted that he will see that this is done. Some time ago four deliver ies were made but they proved im- practicable and but little aid to the business district as the last mail was not ready until too late in the day.

AUTO ACCIDENTS :
 DECREASE IN CITY
Figures From State Give New
 Britain Good Showing

Auto accidents reported in Bridge port for the week ended July 2S numbered nearly 50 per cent less than those of the preceding week. and much less than half the figure on record for the corresponding week of 1922, according to the motor vehicle department of the state. Eighteen motor mishaps are on record for that week, as against 30 of the week end- ed July 21. Jay walking" Is on the decrease, for only three of the IS accidents reported involved motor ve- hicles and pedestrians
 New Haven, Meriden and New Britain reveal decreases in the num- Der of accidents during the week of July IS. The comparison of figures with last years record is also favor able. The situation in Hartford, Waterbury and New London proved less favorable, however, the latter having twice as many accidents as the week before. Hartford shows consistent increase in its toll.

 The bandit smiled again. .s
 May l ask where you propose talk
 ing me? It would be unkind per- 1 haps to remind you that you have lost your way!"
 He lifted both arms as he spoke,
 apparently in accordance with Hew- l its request, and at that moment the l Commissioner felt himself pinioned securely from behind. So suddenly and cleverly conceived was the attack that the Englishman was overpowered without struggle, bound hand and foot with leathern thongs swiftly and
 securely knotted. And, as he lay helpless at the bandits feet, Chai-
 Hung signalled for the stool of carved hlackwood that still remained outside his temporary residence.
 T am going to take you into my confidence, Mir. Commissioner" he said. T am a desperate man, driven by, your agents into a corner, forced to suffer privations that do not al- sosat1er og-ce with a man of my habits. I am i'll, as you see, but I am going to recover.

Chai- Hung had been i'll, There were dark rings under his eyes, his cheeks had fallen in, and the rolls of fat that hung from his jowl were suspended like the shapeless lines of a defiating balloon.
 The bandit rose to his feet with a sudden effort, clutching at the pole for support. Presently he steadied himself and came slowly toward the spot where Hewitt was hiding, his beady eyes blazing with light that was almost supernatural. The Com missioner, fumbling for his hip pocket, swayed sideways and broke thes pell that held him. Scarcely conscious of what he was doing. he left the trees and, covering half the distance that separated them, leveled his automatic deliberately at Chai- Hung.
 The Oriental did not finch. He let the blanket slip from his broad shoulders and returned the others gaze with a placid smile.

 He reached for branch and pull ; ing himself to his feet, went slowly back to the hut, hunch- backed coolie following him with the stool. Hewitt, a prey to a host of unpleas- ant reflections, tore feebly at the thongs that held him. A sudden movement in his immediate vicinity caused him to jerk his head painfully round He saw a short, thick-set Oriental with parang hung from his waist, leaning truculently against the jack -fruit-tree.
 You will remember me, oh Eng lishman," said the sentry grimly. T am Lai-Ho, that was the servant of Hyde. It would be better perhaps to remain still"
 It was mores than an hour before Chai-Hung returned. He was su- perbly clad in mandarin jacket of blue embroidered with silver dragons and the dwarf followed at discreet interval, carrying a red umbrella and a Chinese teapot in nickel case that resembled biscuit barrel. ...
 T am on my way to take tea with your sister, Captain Hewitt" he purred maliciously. Exercising my customary caution-I am taking my own tea!'
 
 Quite apart from the imminent risks that threatened her lover, Monica-although she would never have acknowledged 1t, was desperate ly curious to know how the duel be- tween Pennington and Chai-Hung would end.
 From the moment she had left the little, ramshackle train to accompany her brother to Dawson's bungalow, she had become haunted with a vague, indefinite fear that she was being followed. She had confided her fears to the Commissioner, but Hewitt, seeing in this sudden con- viction still another symptom of the nervous trouble he had already mo- ticed, had not expressed surprise.
 "One gets odd notions in these parts," he told her easily. Its that same queer restlessness you hear among the trees that gives rise to hosts of native superstitions."
 The explanation had sounded logi- cal enough but, on the afternoon of he day Hewitt had started out to meet Pennington, Monica encountered -hai- Hung himself in a narrow glade not a quarter of mile from Dawson's house.
 Isn't it delightfully."- cool under the .rees," she faltered as pleasantly as she knew how. She was aware of m uncomfortable feeling that Chai- Hung was a dangerous criminal with l price on his head, celebrity, in fact, that she must deal with tact fully until she could get in touch with one of Dawson's men. Do you mind letting me pass. I'm in aurry."
