projects, but he is the dominating fig

Still he is not Of the domineering

He was, once. Born in Chatsworth,
Canada, f1fty-three years ago, he be-
came addicted to classical literature and
sports. After graduating from Toronto
University he spent three years teach
ing history and foot ball to the boys
Of Ridley College at st. GATHERINGS,
Ontario. One of them later on was
to be the indirect cause Of his getting
into aviation.
Keys Goes to New York
Keys and the Wright brothers were
seized with epochal ideas at the same
time-in 1900. The Wrights decided
to invent the flying machine. Keys de-
cided to invade New York and elevate
that benighted community by writing
in the classical manner.
Some months after his arrival in
New York he had read of Tom Law
sons panic in Wall Street. Never hav-
ing seen a panic, nor Wall Street, he
went down town TO look them both

over. Everything was ~,liet, no nc:-,,
no disturbance. Keys wrote story,
and tried to sell it, to the effect that
there was no panic.
That experience fascinated him with
the mysteries of the Street. He got
a job as reporter on the Wall Street
Journal and began to study finance.
He ran down the news by day and
! digested it at night. Railroads then
| formed the main topic in financial cir
cles. All Wall Street was watching
the operations of Hartman. But Har-
riman did not talk about his plans.
Everything was very secret.
/ One day Keys heard that he had is
sued a confidential and important re-
port to directors. He went to Harri-
man and asked him for 1t.
GO to hell" replied Hartman.
Instead, Keys went to enc of his
friends on that board and procured a
copy, which he published.
Hartman sent for him.
Where did you get that report?"
I'll tell you what you told me-"
Keys retorted, and departed with speed.
Several weeks later he fell in with
Hartman on the street.
Hello, there" the magnate greeted.

have an interview with ne?"

"All right, tomorrow at IL o'clock"
Peers Behind Scenes.
For two years after that Keys was
railroad editor. Hartman was only
one of many big men whom he could
term his friends. He was able to peer
behind the scenes. He soon learned
why transportation is Of vital impor-
lance to national progress. He also
found that nothing big can be done
without proper financing. He became
an expert on the subject.
But he studied too hard. His eyes
gave out and so did his nerves. He had
to lay of.
He was on the Worlds Work in
1908 when the newspapers carried the
first flashes from HammondSport N.

doing things with airplanes. This ex-

1t is seldom during times of

that has occurred in the United States
since 1921.
The spring of 1921, as We we'll re-
member, found millions of American
wage-earners out of employment. I'M
migrants were pouring into this coun-
try at an increasing rate which
threatened to equal or exceed the high
est in our history. With shipping ia
cilities still unadjusted after the war,
they were coming in at the rate of
more than 10000 a year.

break up his home abroad and make a
journey of from 5000 to 5000 miles or
more before he could know whether
or not he could enter the country, even
though he were satisfied that mentally,

Law Created Hardships.
Technically. the law was so framed
that when the gate swung closed it
even tore babes from their mothers

Of the law, took the responsibility of
refusing to let that occur, but there
were thousands of instances where no
stretch of administrative construction

which the law created.

 A six-year-old boy whose name was not taken went to pr. W. J. Blogoslawski for treatment for gun shot wound in the hand. A blank cartridge did the damage.
 Five boys suffering from slight powder burns and one with gun shot wound from a blank cartridge were treated by Dr. John Tokarczyk.
 Dr. Arthur J. Savard treated boy fo gun shot wounds near the eye.
 Milton Berkowitz and John Ba- ronian, suffering injuries to their hands, the former from premature explosion of a firecracker and the latter from a blank cartridge pis- tol, were attended at the office Of Dr. Nathan B. Jaffe. Neither was seriously injured. Another man, suffering from powder burns about his face, was treated by Dr. Jaffe, but his name was not learned.

 AS I have said before, political speakers, in fact speakers on any subject are at all times welcome in this city, providing, of course, their meetings meet the requirements laid down by the city for the pro- lection of all concerned.

 As He HOped He Would

Cedar Rapids. la, July 5 (UP) -Dr. T. S. Waud, S4, baseball en- thusiast, often had said he hoped his death would come while watching a thrilling game. His wish was granted.
 The doctor became excited when a Cedar Rapids player slid into home plate to score n the second inning of a game between Davenport and Cedar Rapids teams of the Mississippi Valley league yesterday. A moment later he slumped back into his seat. He was dead when other physicians reached him.

40 MINOR INJURIES
 MARK JULY 4 HERE
(Continued From First Page)

Three cases of drunkenness were disposed of and other cases were continued.
 Burned in Mouth By Roman Candle
 John, Banjo, 20, of 174 Oak street was only one of some 40 persons injured in celebration of Inde- pendence Day. but his injury was the strangest of the lot.
 Someone standing near him on tha morning of the glorious day lit q John. To show his defiance John stuck out his tongue. A ball of fire from the candle caught him in the mouth while his tongue was out. ,Dr. Raoul J. Benoit who attended him reported that he had powder burns along the edge of his tongue, on his lips and chin.
 Dr. Benoit also attended Joseph Borselle. aged 6, of 154 Arch street. In some way he got posses sion of a blank cartridge pistol. It was loaded. The child held one 'ioiio oNCA l44C lllouli1 Cl lilC val CA and pulled the trigger with his other hand. Wad and powder en- tered his palm. The wad went through the flesh and could be seen under the skin on the back of his little hand.
 Girl Shoots Man in Face
 Among the many gunshot cases of the day were others of an un- usual nature. Clifford Hart, IT, of 582 Stanley street, came around the corner of building where a girl waited to surprise him. She held a loaded blank pistol in her hand. waited until his head came around the corner, then fired. The powder burned holes in his face and the wad may leave scar.
 Uric Proulx. 27, of s4 Broad street, had a friend visiting him over the Fourth. The friend knew very little about blank cartridges. As Uric walked with one hand be- hind his back, the friend crept up behind him, pointed the pistol at the palm of his hand and fired. The wad is still in Ulric's hand and it Is very sore from powder burns. pr. Benoit injected anti-toxin into Ul- ric's hand to prevent serious devel- opments. Uric has lost his good opinion of his friends ability to reason.
 Treated at Hospital
 In many cases physicians called upon to treat injuries during the day did not take the names, but at the hospital the following names of injured persons were obtained: Carl Sjovall, 13, 23S Winthrop street, blank wounds in left palm: Andres Shesanek, s, 45 Farming ton avenue, left hand lacerated by torpedo explosion: Joseph Seidl, 15. 200 Glen street, blank wounds in right thumb; Kenneth Snygg, 14, 4a Carlson street, blank wounds in right palm, and Edwin Hayward. Is, 34 Lincoln street. blank powder burns in left index finger.
 Boy Injured With Blanks
 Dr. Joseph Matteis made some minor repairs to two boys who wax ed careless with blank cartridges. A Tastore boy at 90 Talcott street and B Hendrickson boy at 216 Kelsey street got in the way of their own weapons while firing blank cart ridges. Both boys were treated for gunshot wounds of the hand.
 Dr. D. w. O'Connell treated two boys, whose names he did not take. for similar injuries, both with toy pistols.
 Jack Tecan, 10-year-o old Stanley Street boy, was shot in the hand with a blank cartridge. He was treat ed by Dr. Vincent Smith. One other boy, whose name Dr. Smith did not record, was shot in the leg with a blank cartridge. A flesh wound was

d part of the evidence presented to the board of adjustment, follows: Atty. Monroe s. Gordon, "750 Main Street,
 City.
 Dear Sir
 This is in answer to your inquiry of July 3, with reference to the pro- jected reopening of the Charles S. Andrews store on Stanley street.
 This matter appears to be question of fact as to whether or not abandonment of the premises has taken place. Abandonment is de- scribed as follows: Abandonment is the intentional relinquishment of a known right. together with actual non-use.'
 No intention on the part of Mir. Andrews to give up the use for store purposes appears. I wish also to call your attention to the fact that a 10 Kolodney Brothers, has just expired July i. The questions involved permit you to ask remedy from the board of adjustment on appeal from my decision. It appears from the facts of the case that no action can be taken by this department to prevent re- opening of the store. Such is my de- csion.

A burglar attempts unsuccessfully to steal the famous Alex Peterson re- volver loaded with gold bullets which have been mysteriousiy linked with Andrew Ogden's murder. A note, written 30 years before by a dying man, is found in one of the cart ridges and mentions the name of Dillon" Police arc puzzled when they find in Ogden'S ii- brary deck of cards, stack of poker chips, a flattened lead bullet, a specimen of rich gold bearing quartz and sinister black notebook.

NO. I'm not theorizing: I'm spec ulating. When I theorize I base my theory on a fact. You don't. In face of evidence to the contrary you say Jerry Ogden couldn't have killed his father. You call your assertion theory when it is nothing but speculation, for you have no basis of fact. Again, you say you believe Dillon killed Ogden and you call your belief theory But your only basis of fact is your faith in the boy, which isn't fact at all. Is the difference clear?"
 During this discussion I had been arranging the poker chips into stacks of five. I had five stacks and one over.
 Hello" I cried There are ex- actly 26 poker chips here. Ogden made 26 payments to Dillon. Queer, isn't it?"
 MacNair grinned. T wonder if there's any connection between the chips and the payments. You might ring for Hubbard"
 I did so. MacNair took a sheet of letter paper and one of the poker chips. Folding the chip inside the sheet, he placed both in an enve- lope, which he sealed. Hubbard came in just then.
 You rang, sir?D he inquired.
 Yes MacNair replied. How did MT. ogden get his mail?"
 "The mail carrier leaves it in the box twice a day, sir. I brought it up to MT. Ogden
 Come here, Hubbard"
 The man came to the edge of the desk, i'll at ease, and MacNair pre- sented him with the envelope in which he had sealed the poker chip.
 Did you ever notice in MT. Og den's mail letters that felt like that envelope?"
 Hubbard ran his fingers over it. Why, yes, sir. A number of times. ?
 "Tell us about them"
 well, sir, began to notice them three of four years after I came here. I couldn't help noticing them because of the chip inside It seems to me they always arrived during the first week in January. Splendid, Hubbard. And how did you know poker chips were ir the envelopes?"

 Beneath the name was a list of entries. The upper entries, like the name were slightly faded; the lower ones were black.
 There are 26 entries" I said un- steadily. Each one is for $5,0oO" t"And each one is dated the first day of January of its respective year" Henry added tonelessly. The last entry is dated the first of the present year.
 Ogden has paid Dillon $5,G00 a year for 26 years" MacNair drawl- ed
 I disregarded MacNair's ugly inn plication.
 "The assumption is that Ogden paid Dillon $5000 year for 26 years Dillon killed the Jerry who wrote that note, and since Dillon has been receiving payment up to the first of the present year, he didn't die as the result of the bullet Jerry put into him. I again offer the theory that Dillon killed Andrew Ogden"

 s"For the same reason that he killed Jerry, perhaps. Or possibly ogden refused to pay more black mail"
 f. Possibly and perhaps" Mac Nair echoed raspingly. If Ogder refused to pay more blackmail Dill lon would expose him, not kill him.
 This was logical.
 "You are forgetting young Jer- ry," Deacon reminded me. "You and Stimson saw him tearing along the walk last night. That fact has to be overcome before we car assume Dillon or anyone else kill ed Ogden"
 I retorted bitterly. Tt wasn't Jer- " we saw. It was someone else Someone in his flannels.
 Mac Nair gestured impatiently "Jerry is the ikeliest candidate SC far. But leave Peebles to his senti. mentalities for the moment, Dea. con, and consider Dillon. The lat. ter may or may not have killed ogden, but I venture to say ht could throw good deal of ligh on the affair. Who is Dillon? H
