EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS
 ARE ENDED IN JUNEAU

The evangelistic meetings con ducted by Evangelist R. s. Peter son of Pelican Rapids, Minn., came to a close last night when he gave his sermon on ''The Saddest, Mad dest and Gladdest Man In Juneau, D speaking from the fifth chapter of Kings, picturing the soul of man first without hope and God, next the rebellious soul that sees the light and knows it's duty but un- willing to yield, and last the obedi- ent soul that proves the power and blessing of God.
 Evangelist Peterson says he has enjoyed his stay in Juneau al- though disappointed with the poor response and little interest shown in eternal things and spiritual truths. He thanked those who have cooperated in the services.
 This evening farewell gathering will be held for Rev. Peterson at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Per soneus to which all are invited. Evangelist Peterson expects to leave tomorrow morning on the Princess Louise.

 "Of course they will have to be- gin housekeeping in a very mod est way. But that's all the more fun, we think.

doubt" said Bishop Ingram, acted quite conscientiously, within the limits of his view of the position, but that view does not coincide with the general sentiment and feeling of the church or with my own. He was within his rights to give a blessing to Sir William Da- vison's marriage, and no action can be taken about it.
 "Sir William Davison's divorce I know little about, but I under stand that he was, in the eyes of the law, the guilty party, so that he could not expect to be married in church. The church cannot ap- prove of any kind of church cere- mony connected in any way with the remarriage of such divorced persons"
 Dr. Geikie-Cobb also issued a public statement defending his ac- ton, saying that he was under the impression that what the law sanctions does not require the fur ther sanction of bishop"
 My chief regret, however, is that the officials of the Church of Eng land should show no sympathy with the demand for a higher con- ception of marriage, but should yield to the clamor of those who htink that the current Catholic view is consistent with the Chris tian, whereas it is in fact contra diction of it." said Dr. Geikie Cobb in a letter addressed to the bishop.
 The officiating minister when in- terviewed said that he did not re- gret this happening. l knew it had to come sooner or later. Both parties can by law be married, and therefore the bishop is willing to put himself above the law.
 "The bishop asked me why I had the service in my church, and I said: Because Sir William Davi- son was a member of my division and I had personally supported him and was glad to find him overwhelmingly returned"

Chapter ' WHO KILLED FELL?

Pell was dead
 Seven of us stood in semi circle in front of the bolted door gaping at him.
 Then we all perceived we were fllrtively looking at each other. In- stinctively we drew back and spread apart.
 Peu was dead But how had Pell died?
 At this point nobody had spoken at word. MT. Fotherbury glanced around and, picking out Eastley, made a sign to him. The doctor bent down and placed his hand un- der the body which was crumpled so awkwardly. Immediately he rose and shook his head.
 He's stone dead" said he.
 eNo-I don't propose to touch him, till
 MT. Fotherbury brought the in tolerable and seemingly intermi- nable scene to an end. He mo- toned us to OUT chairs, went to the side of the big fireplace and we heard the cogs of the telephone whirr. Then MT. Fotherbury said: ~"Three- two Silence again.
 "Police?" he said This is MT. Fotherbury speaking. Something has happened here at once Is that the inspector? .. An, yes! Can you come yourself? t. Very good . . Ask to be shown to me in the library at once ]. Thank you"
 The receiver clicked on the hook. MT. Fotherbury turned away from the wall, sank into his chair beside Marling, and sat back with a set look upon the beams in the roof. Then followed an eternity, last ing 20 minutes. For long time not a word broke the silence, in which Roger Pell lay on the paved floor. Not a glance fell upon him. But he divided our thoughts with one other man-the one of the seven who had killed him-and With the man in the car. coming from Hollom Bay, who was to look first at Roger Pell, and then with cold inQuiring eyes at the seven men who were in the room with him and saw him die.
 Seabroke shuddered and broke the spell.
 "What are you going to tell the police? Somebody shot him. Who shot him? It's bound to come out Can't we know? What did he mean about a ghost?'
 MT Fotherbury again had leaned back with his gaze fixed in the roof. Nobody answered Seabroke and his voice faltered out.
 Presently there was a low rum- ble of voices, then knock on the door.
 MT. Fotherbury advanced.
 "Is that you, MT. Wayne he asked. Please $end the servants away
 MT. Fotherbury listened.
 Are they gone?" he asked. Then MI. Wayne, a man has been killed His body lies at the foot of the door. It has not been moved but you cannot open the door unless it is moved No, there is nc other entrance to the library"
 could just hear the inspector say:

inside. Immediately behind him in the doorway stood another man in uniform and helmet.
 The inspector looked around the room, appraising us. He signed to the constable to come inside, pushed the door fast and bolted it.
 Hes quite dead?" to Eastley.
 Eastley nodded.
 Who is he?" to MT. Fotherbury.
 MT. Roger Pell," who's been helping me in the exploration Of the old Abbey Church.
 When did it happen?"
 At four o'clock precisely" said MT. Fotherbury.
 -Four precisely" just as though Pell was killed by appointment.
 This man was shot dead" said the inspector. Did he shoot him self?'
 Fotherbury shook his head. "Then who shot him?" No one replied and the inspector continued:
 "The door is barred fast. Seven people saw the man killed. I'm speaking to them now. Who shot him?"
 But it was useless for the in- spector to reiterate his question. Mo- body answered.
 This is very foolish, gentlemen, D said he. Let's get down to brass tacks. I ask you first the direct question, MT Fotherbury: do you know who shot this man?"
 q do not" MT. Fotherbury re- piled.
 You saw him shot?"
 T did"
 But you don't know who shot him"
 T didn't see who fired I was watching Pclls movemen too closely to notice anything else"
 The inspector went from one man to another, asking the same ques- tions, receiving the same aggra- vating replies. !, The situation must have been in- tensely trying to police temper. Here were seven men, present when a murder was committed, the door was bolted, the windows high in the walls were of a type that could not be opened, the painted glass in each was intact-one of those seven men was the murderer and yet not one of them would admit that he saw who did it.
 The inspectors store of patience was near exhaustion.
 MT. Fotherpury," he sad, ''youI friends are exceedingly foolish. have seven gentlemen in front oi me, one of whom shot the-gentle- man behind me. in the presence o1 lthe others. Collision to conceal the facts is a crime. So whatever you arranged among yourselves be- fore I. came, cut it out! It wont do."
 The inspector ;.;cag.lt we hac cocked up this amazing yarn o. universal ignorance while we waited there for him with Pell on tht 1 floor
 MT. Fotherbury was spea a kin { again.
 II know it must seem very strang, to you, MT. Wayne; but hardly { word has been spoken, and cer tainly no arrangement has bee, made between us. We were all to, lhorrified to do anything"
 All" he exclaimed That's ha-t to believe. At least one of yol was not to mortified to shoot tn man Unless" 4u Copyright. 1929, Wm. Morrow Go.

the Door success Of the recent

port for the market from bulli5h
quarters that have been sitting

stricted by the lack Of outside de-
mand. and the turnover Of the
first half hour aggregated only
34s. 600 shares. Bullish pools in

upward to catch the shorts" but
tax selling robbed the market Of
considerable buying power, and

YULE BUSINESS
REACHES PEAK
THIS WEEK

Business has reached its yearly
peak In washington, it was de-
ternlined after questioning bank
ers, storekeepers, and others in
terested in the commercial life
of the city. ~
Although no definite figures
could be obtained due to the
great rush Of pref Christmas shop
ping and buying that is now at
It's height, all those questioned
declared that the ultimate goal
for the year would be reached
this week. The few days next
week which precede the Yuletide
win show slight drop, they
said. and after Christmas there
will be a decided slump for q
number of days.
Market Slump Felt
Recent market crashes have
made themselves known In the
commercial side of the city, as
we'll as in other cities of like size,
IL was stated. The signs of this,
1t was, shown, is the number OF
less expensive things that are be-
ing bought at this time OF the
year as compared to the same
season a year ago.
Bankers declared that the CIV
ing Of gold pieces during the
Christmas season, which has been
on the upgrade during the past
several seasons, has wan d
slightly. However, this was off
set by the great number of larger
Christmas savings accounts which
have been delivered to customers.
Several managers of depart
ment stores declared early shop
ping had aided great deal in
stopping some of the great rush
and hustle which is usual in late
December. However, they said
numerous persons still waited un-
til the last minute, which was
evidenced by the large crowds
which thronged all stores in the
downtown area.
May Fall Short of 1923
Despite optimism expressed by
department store managers over
the sales and profits of this sea-
son. it was declared that the total
returns may not reach the mark
set last year. This was attributed
partly to the slump in stock val
ues last month and also to the
number of persons who have
stopped spending large amounts
for gifts at this time of the year.
However, it was shown that more
money is in circulation than ever
before due to the release Of the
Christmas savings accounts. 4
Bankers declared a large per
centage of those who last year
put their money, into Christmas
savings accounts had taken part
OF the proceeds and redeposited
it In like accounts for next year.
