ILLINOIS PARTY
 STRONG FOR SMITH
Nov Intends to RsdGt Him to
 U. s. Senate

Philadelphia, Jan. 70 P-The latest indicated move on the part of the forces of Senator-elect Will liam g. Vare-to resign as the duly elected senator from Pennsylvania lis seen here as an attempt to seek ,indication for his temporary re]ec- ton by the senate by nomination and election a second time at the coming presidential elections.
 Ware returned to his home here last night from a vacation In F1or- ida. and immediately went into con- ference with his counsel on the pres- ,nt situation. He refused to deny or confirm the insistent report or leaders in local republican councils that he would resign.
 Should he decide to send his resis- nation to the senate. 1t was pointed out. he could not do 50 until the committee on privileges and cleo tions makes report to the senate on the contest of William B. Wilson, vare's democratic opponent in the 1926 general election. 1nasmuch as February 24 is the last day on which nominating petitions can be filed in Pennsylvania, 1t is not considered likely that Ware would resign unless tho senate committee had made it's report before that time.
 Consequently all the efforts of vare and Francis Shunk Brown. his attorney. will be devoted to persuade tho committee to act quickly on the contest, it was said.
 Tomorrow vare's reply. prepared by Brown, to the amended petition of Wilson claiming the Philadel- phian's election was brought about by "fraud and corruption" in six counties of the state. will be present. ed to tho senate committee. Brown recently said the amended petition was 'too vague" and 1t Is understood hs Ware reply will vigorously protest aeainst . partial or complete recount of the ballots cast at the ls16 sena- torial election on those grounds.
 whether the rejection by the en- ate yesterday of Frank l.. Smith, of Illinois, prompted the new move of Ware is not known. ......
 If the plan works out. Governor Fisher will be called upon to appoint . senator until next January and in the meantime there will be nomina- lions and elections of two United States senators from Pennsylvania as Senator David A. Reeds term ex. pires this year.

Brennan's face was 80 like thou

hard to remember. Not infrequent-
ly this was of value to him in his
work A man who so nearly 70:

easily make himself look unlike
himself.
Dick Brennan was forty two, but
he looked not over thirty. For
twenty years be had been picking
up criminals. He had never
Studied crime, but the ways and
habits of criminals had soaked into
him; an understanding of their
probable actions and reactions had
become instructive in him; this was
one reason why he was so valuable;
another reason was that he had a
brain that was able to recognize the
times when criminal was not act
ing according to rule. He could
think when he had to.
Brennan was not particularly
annoyed because he had been put
on this case on a Sunday morning.
He had planned to see football
game that afternoon but his inten-
ton had been to pick up couple
of pickpockets there, if they were
still working the football crowds,
and a murder was apt to be more
interesting. He followed the cir
cular drive to the veranda, glancing
past the house toward the back
where the drive curved farthest and
when he had mounted to the
veranda he rang the bell. Norbert,
the colored houseman, came to the
door.
I'm the detective assigned to
this case" he said without flourish:

assured him. Two cops up there;
