There was silence in the apart

Then Vance, who had been watch

asked careleSsly, were you your

Odell?"
For the first time since enter

A dull flush spread over his

Markham gave Vance look of
disapproval, and then addressed
himself to the operator

"This case is becoming positively

there was a suppressed eagerneSS in
his next words.
"Then he arrived about eleven

her apartment until about half past
eleven. You're sure of these facts2'

affirmed.
Markham paused and leaned for
ward.

HAVANA, Jan. 25.-Plans Of the
United States to close certain air
ways as safeguard to the Panama
Canal, which caused spirited debate
before the communications commit
tee Of the sixth Pan-American con-
ference, now are before a special
subsidiary group.
The proposals were made in the
form of seven amendments to the
Pan-American Unions air conven-
ton by Henry P. Fletcher, United
States ambassador to Italy.
The principal modification was
one permitting any two states, which
had signed the convention, to agree
on what areas should be prohibited
to aircraft within the boundaries of
their States. 1t was pointed out this
measure could be taken either as a
means for public safety or for mill
tary purposose.
DR.. Enrique Olaya Herrera, presi-
dent of the COLOMBIAN delegation,
immediately opposed the suggestion.
He said the amendment might be
construed as permitting military al
iianceS between neighboring States.

After years Of torture from Stom-
hch and kidney trouble, Mr.. John
r. Bott, 625 w. Chestnut ST., Free
port, ILL.,, suddenly shook off all his
ailments and recovered his health.
His letter explains it, as follows:
"For IS years I had stomach
trouble and kidney weakness. After
eating, I would bloat with gas and
suffer intense pain, followed by
sick headache. My kidney trouble
disturbed my sleep, and my back
ached so terribly could hardly
drag myself home from work, and
! was ready to drop the minute I
got inside the door. I couldn't
sleep, and all day long felt weak,
dizzy and lazy. Medicines seemed
unable to help me, and life was
nothing but misery to me until I
starting taking Viuna. In short Or
der, I was changed man. I can
now eat big, hearty meals with no
gas, no pains, and no headache.
My kidneys seem to be fine again,
and I wake up every morning feel
ing rested and ready for work. The
awful back-ache is gone, and can
now enjoy walking to and from the
shop. I feel stronger and better
each day, and 1t is wonderful to
know that my long illness Is over at
last"
ViunE acts promptly on sluggish
towels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It
purifes the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to the whole
body. Take bottle on trial. Then IL

RATE REVISION
Change Would Result in Gen
eral Application of Mile
age Scales

Washington, April 16.-(R)-A
revision of classified freight rates
in eastern territory which would re-
suit in general application Of mile
age scales was tentatively pro-
posed today by the interstate COM
merce commission.
The proposal constituted another
step in the commissions endeavor
to rearranEe class rates throughout
the United States on a distance
basis, the first having already been
made effective in southern and
southwestern territory.
The commission estimated that
the system recommended would re-
suit in eastern charges amounting
to about 70 per cent as high as the
rate system prescribed for south
ern territory.
Because Of higher operating costs
under the report, rates on ship
ments traversing northern New
England territory, Northern Mich
igan territory and specified branch
lines Of railroads in territory of
small population would range 1O
per cent above the standard.
In view Of the water transporta-
tion factor applying on class ship
ments to and from Chicago, the re-
port recommended that rail and
water rates on classified freight
should be made IS per cent Of all
rail rate.
The proposals will be submitted
to all interested carriers and ship.

CAFFEY STAYS
IN OFFICE TO
AVOID ARREST
Chicago Police Ready to Ar

eminent Building

Chicago, April 16-(AP)-
Myron M. Csffey, prohibition
agent who has been shielded by
federal authorities for three
weeks after shooting william
Beatty. a municipal court bailiff,
was surrendered to the police
today.
Chicago, April 16.-(AP)-A
scrap Of paper calling for the arres,
Of one Myron Caffey. a prohibition
agent, was getting itself all dirty
from disuse today in the pocket OF
police Captain William Shoemaker
It wasn't that Captain Shoemaker
didn't know where Caffey was. He
did. But circumstances made service
of the warrant ticlGish proposition;
one might almost say matter Of
national moment.
Caffey was in the federal building.
No question about that. Captain
Shoemaker caught occasional
glimpses of his man yesterday, peer
ing from an eighth floor window.
Caffey appeared happy and content
ed, possibly a bit more so than the
police who stood in the biting wind
outside waiting to arrest him.
Caffey Is Besieged
But if the police style was cramped
by circumstances, so was Caffey's.
He virtually was besieged, for should
he step from government property,
tn. police were there to serve the
warrant charging him with the at
tempted murder Of William Beatty
a municipal court bailiff who was
wounded the night of March 20 dur
ing a prohibition raid.
Captain Schoemaker's trouble was
that he was under conflicting instruc.
tions. One instruction was to serve
the warrant. The other was to keep
off government property. The lat
ter instruction came from John E.
Northrup, first assistant U. S. dis
trict attorney.
This property" said Northurp to
Shoemaker, in effect, lis as sacred
as an Indian reservation. Set foot
here. and take the consequences"
"We," said Captain Shoemaker
after some cogitation, twill look
up the law"
Was Almost Caught
Caffey very nearly was caught
yesterday when, unaware of the
police lines around the federal build
ing, he ran jauntily down the steps
on his way to a nearby lunch room.
Before he had gone far, however, he
observed Captain Shoemaker ap-
preaching him with speed and de-
termination, whereupon he sprinted
back to the haven provided b. the
United States government.
Since that time Caffey has been
eating off a tray, food being carried
to him by sympathetic fellow agents,
and a couch in the district attorneys
office has been placed at his dis
posal.
