measure, with the sole view Of de.
termining whether the bill can be
enacted into law.
The President agreed. however.
to sidetrack the subsidy tempo.
rarily while the British debt agree
ment is being ratified in the Sen
ate. He urged Republican leaders
to keep the debt agreement con
tinuously before the Senate until 1t
was passed and to permit no other
legislation to intervene.
Under the program mapped out
this afternoon the debt agreement
probably will be called up tomor-
row by Senator Smoot Rep) Of
Utah. Leaders on both sides indi-
Gated it would be ratified in two
or three days. Consideration OF
the subsidy will then be resumed
and will be continued until a deci'
sion is reached or Congress ad'
journs.
THE President wants a smash
ing fight staged in behalf Of the
BILL" said Senator Watson, follow
ing the White House conference
HE wants a showdown on the sub
sidy, but he wants more vigorous
efforts adopted, so its opponents
will know they have been In a
fight.
'The President has approved the
plan to call up the debt agreement
in the Senate, and the subsidy will
be laid aside only temporarily. 1t
should take only two or three days
to pass the agreement, and the
fight will then be resumed to pass
the subsidy"
The subsidy, meanwhile hurdled
it's first legislative obstacle when
the Norris bill, proposing constt
tutional amendment changing the
time of converting Congress, was
considered during the morning
hour of business" This action
eliminated the necessity for q test
vote and did not interfere with con
sideration of the subsidy.
The first of the barriers, which
the bill must surmount to continue
in the spotlight, was the Norris mo.
ton to lay it aside in favor OF Dill
moving up the time OF conVenlng
Congress from December to the
January following each election. Sup
porters of the subsidy urged Senator
Norris (Rep.) of Nebraska, the au'
thor, to call up his bill during the
morning hour" to eliminate the
necessity of a test vote on the sub
sidy.
If the Norris movement Is side
tracked the subsidy supporters then
face Democratic attack in the form
Of a motion to reoOmmit the bill. il
this motion prevails, the subsidy will
be abandoned to defeat.

crevices Of the door of the adjoining
room. Sister Cecilia, her brain be-
fuddled from the drug that had
been administered to her, didn't
have the faintest idea where she
was.
She dimly recalled the entrance
of the two rough looking men in
the convent. She recalled that she
tried to scream, but her cries were
stifled by one of the men who clasp
ed his hand over her mouth. She
continued to struggle with all the
strength at her command, and then
she recalled how one Of the men
put bottle to her nose.
Try as she would she could not
fight off the drowsiness and help
lessness that seized her. Then she
remembered nothing more until she
came to in the room in Baltimore.
Cropping around the darkened room
she came upon a mans coat hanging
on the wall. She had been stripped
OF her habit and was clad only in
her inner clothing.

toward an opening which I thought
was a street, and from there ]

"This proved to be Camden sta

asked him to find me taxicab,
and engaging same came back to
Frederick. leaving Baltimore, I
think, about Z o'clock last night.
From this point the story Is sup
piled by the Baltimore police who
confirmed the story, that young
woman, apparently very nervous,
had approached Officer Osborne of
the Southwest station, at the Cam
den station, and had asked for a
taxicab.
What do you want a taxicab to
go to Frederick for?" Officer o.
borne asked the girl. "Why don't
you take a train? It Is sixty miles
from here"
"Well / have just missed a train.
the girl replied. the next bus does
not leave for an hour. and I must
get to Frederick where have
sick relatives" the policeman states
the girl told him.
IT called a taxicab for the young
woman" Osborne continued, land
she asked him how much 1t would
be.
1.-The cabman said it would be $25,
and she replied that she only had
$l1.55, but would give him the
amount when she got there or send
the taxi company a check.
'She looked honest and so dis.
tressed that the taxi company man
ager at Camden Station told the
driver to go ahead and make the
trip"
The driver and his passenger
stopped at Libson, Nd, where the
passenger said that she wanted to
use the telephone and let her rela-
tives know that she was en- route
to Frederick.
Returning ten minutes later, the
girl replied that she was unable to
raise anybody on the phone and
The two proceeded on their journey,
arriving at the convent at 1886
last night.
The element Of additional nys.
terry injected into the case at this
point came when the taxi driver
stated that the woman stepped
from the cab with a nuns bonnet
on her head.
He helped her to alight, however.
and then awaited on the stoop Tor
his fare.
This was the first intimation,
the driver said, that the woman
had been a nun, and at that time
he had no knowledge az to the
