 Did MT. Ogden make any com ment?"
 "No, sir. He wasn't the comment ing kind, but his face became bit ter and hard and hurt as if he were remembering some dreadful thing"
 The man withdrew and MacNair grimaced. Our blackmailer receiv- cd his yearly blackmail and ack- nowledged it with poker chip"
 But why a poker chip?" Deacon exploded.
 MacNair gave his disconcerting laugh. Its all speculation.
 What about this lead bullet, the cards and the quartz?" I went on.
 Poker chips imply cards, don't they? As for the quartz and the bullet, don't know. They may have nothing to do with the case, though the lead bullet looks as if it has plowed through somebody's breast bone" Copyright, 1929, Wm. Morrow Co)

The Haitian Situation.

The House has acted, granting the
request of President Hoover for COM
mission to study conditions in Haiti and
the policies of the United States in
that republic. Prompt action by the
Senate should follow. The President is
anxious, as Chief Executive of the
United States, to have the fullest and
most accurate information regarding
Haitian conditions as may be obtained.
Such information is necessary in de-
termining the future policy Of this coun-
try toward the Republic of Haiti. Much
misinformation and much exaggeration
Of conditions in the island have been
spread broadcast.
President Hoover made 1t clear in his
message to Congress at the opening Of
opinion the United States should bring
its Marines back home from foreign
soil as speedily as possible. He referred
particularly to Nicaragua, to China and
to Haiti. He admitted that the Haitian
situation presented problem that re-
ouired close attention. Almost stimuli
taneously with the delivery Of his mes
sage to Congress disturbances broke out
in Haiti and it became necessary to
send additional United States Marines
to the island to assure order. Nothing
could have been a clearer indication
that some study of conditions In the
:-cnd republic was needed

skeleton force on board to keep the ship
afioat if possible.
In this accident not life was lost,
not scratch was inflicted upon any
person. There was no confusion. Per-
feet discipline prevailed on both ships.
In point of security Of the ships COM
panies it was a model collision. This
may have been due to the fact that the
accident occurred in the daytime, but
the transfer of passengers was effected
after dark. There was no lack of help,
inasmuch as the collision came within
short distance from shore.
This disaster, fortunately so innocent
of harm to the passengers and crew of
the two ships, was due distinctly to the
fog. The mist was so thick that the
nose Of the colliding ship was not
visible until it was less than twenty
five feet distant. The crash came
within ten seconds after the first warn
ing. Although sirens were blowing on
both ships, nobody could tell in what
direction danger lay The ship that
sank was stopping to drop the pilot as
she was going to foreign port. The
other ship, a coastwise vessel, had no
pilot and therefore was continuing on
its way, having changed course just a
few minutes prior to the collision.
Here is a situation that seemingly
cannot possibly be cured by any meas
ure of precaution. Ships must move
in order to leave port or make port.
Short of anchoring when the fog is so
thick that dangerous conditions cannot
be seen within margin of safety, there
is always peril of collision in the
crowded waters of busy harbor. The
only question in this present case is
whether these ships should have been
sent out of port, should have left their
piers, while the fog prevailed.
