The doors OF the House were lock &c

mously to return the measure to the
Senate, on the ground that revenue
raising measures should originate in
the House Chairman Green of the
committee announced he would pro-
pose returning the measure to the
Senate. A majority vote in the House
will be sufficient to turn back the
bill
The House will vote Tuesday on the
committees recommendation to turn
the bill back. decision for the vote
being reached today. Tuesday was
chosen in order to assure the pres

Views OF House leaders on both
sides of the chamber that the Senate
in originating the bill had usurped
the constitutional prerogative of the
House to initiate all revenue-raisine 6
Legislation were supported by the
unanimous opinion of subcommittee
OF its ways and means committee,
Whlch resulted IN the unanimous vote
of the full committee today.
Despite two decisive votes. in which
the Senate took the position that il
was not originating revenue-raising &
legislation in approving increases in
mail rates TO meet the cost of postal
salary increases, recommendation
was before the House to return the
measure to the Senate because of this
feature of the bill.
AS finally approved by the Senate
by vote of 20 to s, the the bill car
ries the same provisions for increases
in postal salaries. effective as of July
l, 1924, as the measure passed last
session and vetoed by Pre- sident Cool

almost every class. The increases.

The Sine Wave i'm Alternating Current
Theory and Practice. Part. III.

The circle and the poles of the mag
net in the diagram below represent a
cross-section through the poles and
winding of n single loop alternating
current dynamo. The lines OF fiuX are
running from the north to the south
pole; the loop is being rotated in al
direction. The circle
through which the loop passes has
been divided into "a equal arcs which
represent the spaces passed through
by the loop in equal intervals Of time
The number of lines of tiuX cut by
the wire loop in passing through equal
arcs is not the same at every point
of its travel. You will notice that as
the loop Is travelling from position X, .
through "A" to ''B" the wire is travel
ing practically parallel to the mag
netic lines OF flux, and is doing very
little cutting of the lines. AS Il mat
ter of fact, at the instant shown at
"A" and IN" no lines of fiuX are be-
ing cut and the voltage and current is
zero. That is the point at which the
current changes direction. and the
circle Is not marked with a dot or a.
cross. On either side Of this position
the lines of flux begin to be cut and
the current flows i'll a direction indi-
Gated by the dot Glowing toward the
observer) and by the cross Glowing
away from the observer).
When the position of the wire loop
shifts to that indicated by its passage
from '.F'" through &c" to I'll" on the
upper leg and from ..R" through 80"
to 1T" on the lower leg, the maximum
lines of fiuX are being cut and the
greatest flow of current takes place
The voltage at those points is at Il
maximum.
The reason why this is so can be
better understood if we resort to an
analogy. Let us take a rope consist
ing of many strands of threads
punched parallel to each other in the
same way that the lines of fiuX are
arranged all parallel to each other
from north to south pole. If we run
knife through these strands in d
direction parallel with the strands, we
may split the strands apart, but none
of them will be cut. If, however, we
run a knife at right angles or across
the rope we will cut the maximum
number of threads for any given dis
lance Of travel of the blade. If the
knife is run at an angle, fewer strands
will be cut.
The same thing holds true in the

STAGE PLOT SEEN
IN DIVORCE SUIT
AtWiIIs React in Real Life
Scene They Played
Together.

NEW YORK, December 17.-Lionel
Atwill and his wife, Elsie Mackay, are
now playing a scene in real life that
they often enacted on the stage to-
gether.
Mr.. Atwill has brought suit for di-
vorce against his wife, charging her
with leaving him despite his pleas and
with living with Max Montesole. an
English actor, in an uptown apart
ment. 1t was in the last act OF The
Comedian" in which the Atwills
starred, that the wife leaves her hus-
band as he seeks in vain to win her
back.
Montesole and Mrs. AtwilI left
aboard the liner Samoa. which sailed
Saturday from Boston for Liverpool,
according to Atwill's counsel. Mr.. At
will sought to prevent them leaving
together by starting an alienation
suit against the English actor. but
failed when Montesole left the juris-
diction of New York State.
The trouble has been brewing for
a long time" Atwill said last night. as
he charged he had found his wife and
Montesole living in an apartment as
Mr.. and Mrs. Mackay." He said he
had begged her to reconsider her ac-
tons and to return to him, but that
she had refused.
II am not emotional" he said, land
am not going around carrying a
revolver or any of that foolishness.
But a reconciliation is out of the ques-
ton now
The actor said he had been intro
duced to Montesole by his wife and
had befriended him, giving him lead
ing part in a new play and entertain
ing him at his Long Island home.
The play was withdrawn before reach
ing New York because of the domestic
tangle.
Mrs. Atwill, before she left for Eu.
rope. denied the allegations of mis-
conduct and said her husband had re-
fused to agree to a separation and
kept her at his home by threats Of
"disgraceful' charges.
She asks $3.50 u week alimony and
$500 counsel fees, asserting that her
husband has an income of $4,000 a
year. She said that since separating
from Mr.. Atwill she has been forced
to live on the bounty of friends.
Mrs. Atwill has been leading woman
in numerous productions and fire.

ROBBED BOOZE CACHE
Search For Men Instituted by
Police After Women
Told of Them
ROBBED BOOZE CACHE

Kansas City, Mo-. Feb. % Boot
leg channels were being explored
here today by the police in an effort
to learn the identity Of moonshiners
who put to death patrolman and Il
former police officer who had turn
ed high jackers.' ...
The victims were Burt G. Lovejoy
and George Peters. 1t is believed
they were killed late last Tuesday
Their bodies were uncovered yes
terday in the East Bullins in cave
from which they are known to have
removed more than 200 gallons of
moonshine whiskey last Sunday.
Police say that Lovejoy and Peters
robbed the moonshine cache and
bootlegged part of the stolen whis-
key.
Search for the men was instituted
by police Saturday after two women
with whom they had associated re-
ported their disappearance and told
Of their dealings in liquor.
Indications were that Lovejoy and
Peters were shot, beaten and their
throats cut. The bodies were burn
ed beyond recognition in the cave
grave before the slayers filled up
the pit. Identification was estab-
lished by Lovejoy's collar and other
belongings of the men which with
stood the flare built by the slayers.
Several theories as to how the men
came to their deaths were being
pursued by the police. 1t was sug-
|gested they might have been killed
when they returned to the moonshine
rendezvous to exact tribute for
their silence after having robbed
the cache. Another theory was that
they were murdered by the mson-
sinners while posing as federal ag-
ents and third that they were
lured to their deaths in revenge for
stealing the whiskey.
The river bottom section where
the moonshiners carried on their OPP
erations is known as the "jungle.' 1t
is an uninhabited region, marshy
and overgrown with high weeds and
willows.

MOTIVE is MYSTERY

Minot, N. D., Feb. 23.-An-
ger over the rejection of his
attentions is believed by Dep
uty Sheriff Blame, officer of
Ryder to have been the mo-
tive which prompted w. C.
Holland, aged about 27, a
farm hand, to shoot and kill
Miss Stella Scheffelbein, aged
IS, and then to take his own
life with the same gun. The
tragedy occurred late Satur-
day afternoon near Ryder in
the southwestern part of
Ward county where they both
resided.
Today in the town hall at
Ryder, only a few feet apart
the bodies of the girl and man
lie. Both of them died al
most instantly, it is believed,
with their lips sealed as to de-
tails of the tragedy. A Cor
oner's jury returned a ver-
dict to the effect that the girl
was slain by Holland who
then took his own life.
Two shots were fired into
the girls body and one bullet
was used by Holland to end
his life. The girl and Holland
were driving in an automobile
to a neighbours farm. Hol
land is believed to have shot
the girl and wrapped his over
coat around the body allowing
the head to recline in his lap.
When he reached the farm
they were going to visit, he
ordered the parties they were
visiting back from the auto
mobile. propped the girls
body up in the seat. fired a
second shot into her mouth,
and turned the gun on him

ly.
Holland has been staying
at the Scheffelbein farm since
last October, working for his
board and room. Efforts are
being made to locate his rel
