Dogger Tandy struck the second
match. He bent down and examined
the black dust at his feet. Yes,
there were his own footprints
many of them. He was all right.
The fame died as he pressed Tor
ward again. He went on, feeling the
walls, NOW this side, now the other.
Suddenly he ran into a projection
that seemed to be in the very middle
of the gallery which he was travers-
ing. Dogger Tandy cotf1d not re-
member that projection. Where was
it? What was it doing there? Per

He drew out the last match and lit

As Quinton, having marshaled his

were all properly equipped and In
order. was about to give the signal
for the first batch to descend. he

saw Inspector Cortelyou.

the detective.
Quinton felt half annoyed and

But the blackness and silence, and
the thought of what he had left be-

knew little of where he was going,
for he had never visited that part OF

he had gone far he realized that he
was not going in the right direction.
It seemed to him that he had taken

McCarl Tells Supreme
 Court What It Can't Do

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The U. s. Supreme Court which has laid down the law to a thousand and one Individuals and organizations and told CO.'S, ess that some oe it's worl: was unconstitutional, has at last been told what it can do and carro. do
 The sting of the iron hand was registered against the high court by Comptroller General McCarl who has done battle consistently with virtu- ally all the government departments since he took office in 1921.
 Under a law passed in 1906 the postmaster general is empowered to buy all envelopes for all government departments, under contract. By buy ing in quantity the government saves a great deal of money. But for some reason or other, since 1906, the su- preme court has been violating the law and buying it's own envelopes.
 Not being a government department the court considered that it was im-

TALE OF DEATH IN SNOWSTORNl TOLD
 WITH FINDING BODY

DENVER, Dec. 10-A tale of slow death from cold and hunger, partly told by word of mouth and partly gleaned from weakly scrawled notes on bits of paper, written on a bleak bound pass in northern New Mexico was revealed here today with the ar rival of Mrs. George c. Becker, of Denver, from Antonio Colo, with the body of her aged husband.
 Becker, according to his widow left Dever in an automobile for Chama, N. Mex. The man. 65 years old, was unaccompanied and few days later no word had been received from him, Mrs. Becker became alarmed and left here for Antonio which was on the route Becker had taken.
 There she learned that her husband had passed through late the day be- fore, driving south into the snowclad mountains. A searching party was organized and shortly after midnight IAiC ASOSoClo CclliC upO1 DCChCi du- tomobile, stalled in the deep snow, with Becker inside, unconscious. When reused his first words were: Why didn't you come sooner? Pm so hungry; so cold"
 Then he lapsed into unconscious ness and while being returned to Antonio, where his wife waited anx- iously, he died.
 Footprints in the snow and a few hastily scribbled notes, showed mute ly the attempts Becker had made to get back to Antonio. However, weak ened by exposure and hunger, the aged man was forced to give up and return to the automobile where he re- main, huddled in blanket, until res cuers found him.
 Other notes, written from time to time, indicated his steadily weaken ing condition and his thoughts, most ly of his relatives as the end neared.

 McCarl ruled that the court must have it's envelopes ordered by the postmaster general just like all the other government agencies. The de- partment of justice asked McCarl for another ruling, but he repeated his original decision, and thus reversed the highest court in the land.

Of yellow social-demOcrats, who domi
mated their organizations and who leo
the masses into the brutal slaughter.
And in 1918, when the workers, dis
illusiened by the war, surged all over
Europe in a revolutionary wave, these
same social-democrats, still controll-
ing the workers political and indus,
trial organizations, dissipated the
revolutionary movement and saved
capitalism.
But. since those. times something
important has happened, the most i'm
portant thing that has taken place
since the end of the war This was
the formation of the Communist
parties in the various countries and
their unification into the Communist
International. The significance of this
will be apparent in the next great
crisis Of international capitalism. If
this crisis does not come before, it is

discomfort and action. Russia is the
living embodiment of the new society.

is the most important working class
organization in the history Of the
world. 1t is direct outgrowth Of the
Russian revolution and is intimately
bound up with the latter's fate.
The Communist International is q

sense Of the word. 1t is highly cen

conceptions Of Communism. It is in
an altogether different class than the

militant, fighting vanguard Of the in
ternational proletariat.
A, first condition for the effective

the Communist International Is THAI
It establish its headquarters within
the protection Of great proletariaR
power. To try to live In a capitalist
country would be TO condemn the or

slogan Of war against capitalism;

Far more important, however, than

government to attack the transactions
which he and his father had with
former Secretary OF the Interior Al

As this Is, to the best of his knowl-

sci for the government, he is wholly
within his rights, under that provi-
sion OF the Constitution which ex-
preSSiy provides that no person shall
be compelled in any criminal case to
be witness against himself" in de-
dining to answer the questions pro-
pounded, he contends
Referring to the fact that counsel
for the government had given to him
assurances that they had no thought
that he had been guilty of any wrong
doing and had no purpose to attempt
criminal proceedings against him,
young Doheny points out that such
assurances constitute no legal protec-
ton whatever, and cannot deprive
him OF his constitutional rights.

ment After Long Fight.

Dead Leader Left Political Will,

HONGKONG, May 15.-With the
death of DR.. Sun Yat-Sen, the vision
airy leader of the recalcitrant South
China government, which was con-
firmed yesterday, the capital of Can
ton is expected to pass into the hands
of the Peking government, whose
forces for the past year have been
battling the troops of the "Constitu-
tonalist" president.
Though DR.. Sun surrounded himself
with a number of loyal and efficient
generals and governmental leaders,
it is not considered likely that any
of his associates will be able to
WELD sufficient influence to prevent
Il collapse of the southern regime.
According to reports received from
Canton, where DIR. Sun ruled and
died, it would surprise no one to
learn that the government and mill
tary authorities had evacuated the
city. In this eventuality the Sun mer-
cenary troops may become grave
danger and menace to the safety of
the city unless Gen. Chen Chung
Ming and his opposition forces are
able to take Immediate control.

while he is conscious Of no wrong
doing on his own part or on the part
of his father or of the companies
with which he and his father are con-
nected officially, yet he has reason to
