This made but one escape for the

This violation of law was cool and

the slightest chance to connect trade
unionism with violation of law.

Again II was necessary for BeVer-
ley's mind to act swiftly and with
prudence. The camp was yet within
hailing distance. A false move now
would bring the whole pack bowling
TO the rescue. Something told him
TO 90 as Long-Hair ordered, so with
scarcely a perceptable hesitation he
scrambled down the bushy bank and
slipped into the water, followed by
Long-Hair, VINO seized him by one
arm when he began to swim, and
struck out with him into the boiling
and tumbling current.
Beverley had always thought him
self a master swimmer, but Long-Hair
showed him his mistake. The giant
Indian, with but one hand free to use,
fairly rushed through that deadly cold
and turbulent water, bearing his pris-
oner with him despite the wounded
arm, as easily as If towing him at
the stern of a pirOgue. True. his
course was down stream for a con
siderable distance, but even when

other bank, breasting a current in
which few swimmers could have lived,

swung forward rapidly. splitting the
waves and scarcely giving Beverley
freedom enough so that he could help
in the progress. 1t was a long, cold
struggle. and when at last they
touched the sloping low bank on the
other side, Long-Hair had fairly to lift
his chilled and exhausted prisoner to
the top.

to pound and rub Beverley's arms.

VICE SQUAD MAN
JAILED FOR
LARCENY
Conviction of William Kane
NuIlifies Liquor Cases in
Which He Was Member.

The conviction on two charges Of
petit larceny and one Of grand
larceny Of William Kane, who has
been working with the vice squad,
nullifies several prohibition cases
now pending in the United States
branch Of Police Court, as Kane
will be unable to testify.
According to Assistant District
Attorney Thomas e. Lodge. in
charge Of the prosecution Of prohibit
ton cases, Kane has been working
with the vice squad and revenue
agents, buying liquor for evidence.
This places him in the position of
major witness and 1t will be impos-
sible to prosecute the cases without
his testimony.
Kane was charged with stealing
clothing from fellow-roomers at 93S
/ street northwest and selling them
to a secondhand dealer. He pleaded
not guilty, saying that he was
dTunk and did not remember what
happened. He was given thirty
and sixty days, respectively, in two
cases, and held for action of the
grand jury on the third.

Poultryman Saves
Hen That Stole
Diamond

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 15.-
Lady Camille, the prize blue
Orpington hen that scratched
the $3.50 diamond from the
ring Of George A. Hennessey,
while the latter was admiring
the birds fine points at the
Chelsea Poultry Show, has
escaped the scalpel and ether.
Rather than have the hen
operated on to try and find
the diamonds, Lawrence A.
Randall, Boston poultryman,
has paid $3.50 to Mr.. Hennes-
sey to satisfy him for the loss
Of his diamond, and paid the
owner of the bird = fair price
for her.
Just what Randall intends to
do with the $3.50 prize-winning
hen he is keeping to himself. It
is believed he proposes to ex-
hibit her ct his market as a

novelty wears off, kill her and

P R D c RESS|VES
WIN HOUSE
FIGHT
Republican Leaders Agree to
Put Congressman Nelson
on Rules Committee.

Republican leaders OF the House
of Representatives capitulated to-
day in their fight with the little
group of Northwestern insurgents,
and agreed to place Congressman
John M. Nelson (Rep) of Wisconsin,
the .insurgent leader, on the power
full Rules Committee.
Refusal of the Republican lead
ers to do this has blocked the COM
pletion of House organization for
two days, during which the insur-
gents tied up business.
Regulars and progressives decided
to annul the agreement entered into
late yesterday with the Democratic
leaders to give the Democrats an
additional member of the Rules
Committee. Working together, the
Republican factions can outvote the
Democrats and complete the House
organization.
TiIsOn Withdraws. ".
Nelson is to take the place on the
Rules Committee tentatively as
signed to Congressman John @. TIL
son of Conpecticut, who voluntarily
retired in the interest of party har-
mony. Tilson suggested the COM
promise plan and won over House
Leader Longworth and others to
his views.
After the Republican Steering
Committee had concluded to offer
a Rules Committee place to Nelson
there was lengthy conference with
the progressive leader. 1t is I'M
derstood that views and demands
of Nelson did not prove so radical
as was feared and the Republican
leaders laid plans to put through
their slate by having it endorsed at
the House Republican conference
late today.
The progressives were jubilant
over the concessions. They claimed
to have snatched victory from de-
feat. The agreement with Demo.
cratic leaders made late yesterday
for an additional Democrat on the
Rules Committee carried no adj
vantage to the progressives, leaders
or the latter asserted.
Democratic leaders are expected
to fight the latest plan of the regu.
lars and progressives should the
plan be ratified by the Republican
conference. They may be able to
delay election of the House COM
mittees next Monday, as now planned
by Republican leaders.
