That the board of police commits sioners will await the outcome of tho prosecution of Henry E.

 It Is generally expected that Gar diners case will be heard at the March term of the criminal side of superior court. States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn having stated q few months ago that the reason 1t was rot tried at earlier terms was that it was not the policy of his office to prosecute criminal cases while civil actions were pending in court on the same information.
 Board to Delay Action Chairman Bannan said today he did not anticipate that the police board would act immediately. It is expected that whatever action is taken will be in the nature of an in- vestigation to determine the truth or falsity of the statements made by Gardiner and Ira B.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-R-A blind alley lay ahead of police today as they sought the trail of slayers in Chicago's latest, and bloodiest of all, gang killings.
 With a day and night of investiga- ton behind, police still sought clue to the shooting down of six gang sters and a doctor yesterday morn- ing. They were frankly discouraged. The record of 72 previous gang kill. ings in the last four years without conviction-many without an arrest lent little hope that the present in- vestigation would be more success full.
 There were no witnesses when the entered the s. NJ. c. Cart age company garage at 2122 North Clark street about 10:45 a. M. yes terday. lined up their victims against a brick wall and shot them down. A woman saw four men, two dressed as policemen. and carrying guns. emerge from the garage. enter what she thought was police squad car. and drive rapidly away. But that was the most definite story the police had.
 Nobody Shot Me-
 One of the victims, Frank Gusen- berg. survived his wounds a short time, and was conscious He was the only hope of authorities for an eye witness account. But the code of the gunman kept him silent.
 A police sergeant leaned over the who lay dying at Alexian Brothers hospital.
 Who shot you. Frank?" he asked.
 Shot me?" said Frank Gusenbrg. "Why. nobody-shot-me.
 But early today. when they com pleted an examination. coroner's physicians found 10 bullets in Gusen- berg's body.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLVII

"~ET me some water-quick!"
NJ Ruth, first on her feet and
first to reach the side of the I'M
conscious scrubwonlan, commanded
Jack HAYWARD, who had stepped
into Borden's Office just as that ter
rible scream had broken on its I'LL
innate high note of horror.
whats happened to poor old
Letty?" Jack asked, as he sprang to
obey.
"1'm afraid she's hurt her head
against my chair in falling" Ruth
answered. I'll see if it's cut"
And to the amazed horror of
everyone in the room, the girl be-
lied the tender compassion in her
voice by giving a sudden, hard jerk
at the dank gray hair that hung
in wisps about the ashen-pale face
of the woman on the floor.
RUTH Jack Hayward cried out
apgrily.
The girl did not appear to have
heard. Her small hand gave an
other tug at the gray hair, so sharp
that the woman's scalp seemed to
have been torn off.
Ruth cast the thing from her and

unconsciousness.

It was NIcMann who voiced the
Identification, his flinty gray eyes
wide open at last and staring in
credulousIy at the small, aristocratic
nead, wrapped tightly with smooth
bands of fine, black hair.
Eyes, Martha Manning! Didn't
you know?" Ruth answered, but
there was no triumph in her voice
only infinite pity. "Give mo the
water, Jack. :. Thanks! Her poor
head is hurt. :. There's a great
lump swelling -
"But-how did you knoW?" Nc
Mann demanded, with angry be-
wilderment.
Ruth did not answer until her
compassionate fingers had dipped
into the glass and dabbled cold wa
ter upon the death-like face now
pillowed against her arm.
Then, with her free hand, she
reached into the pocket of her smart
little brown velveteen frock and
drew out the tightly folded sheets
upon which she had written what
Birdwell had called her serial
story earlier that afternoon.

was enough to mottle his heavy face
with the dark red of chagrin.

conscious woman, upon whom the
cold water had had no effect.

wilderment, ran to obey, but when

An hour later Tony Tarver, fol-
lowed by dusky Annabelle, carry
ing the heavier of the two bags,
appeared, breathlessly, in the
Hathaway living room. Cherry,
Crystal and little Hope, all dressed,
coated and hated for the journey,
and surrounded by luggage, greeted
her gaily.

self at the dexterous way in which
Cherry extricated herself from the

in which Gitlow declared, "China has
500,000,000 people and when the
Kuomintang backed by the Commun-

those 5O0,O00,000 people become

La Guardia Ex-Socialist, in Attack on Haiti

Latin-America.
These intellectuals talk of woo
doc" magic, but not word do they
say about Augusta SANDING of Mic
aragua and his heroic struggle
against the U. S. marines in Nicara-
qua; nothing about the growing con-
seriousness of the Mexican workers
and peasants and the recent organi-
cation of the "Workers and Peasants
Bloc" which is putting revolu-
tionary candidate into the field for
the next election; nothing about the
renewed revolution in China and the
organization of workers and peas
ants armies there, nothing about the
general, growing reaction on the
part of the imperialist nations in
every colonial and semi-colonial
country in the world. They never
take notice of the fact that for five
consecutive years the African Equa-
torial region has been suffering
from the increasing enslavement of
the French governments, and that
the Negroes there are fighting
bravely against such oppression.
Why does not La Guardia mention
word about the institution" of
Jim-C rowism here in the United
States, where lynching of Negroes
is an almost daily occurrence, where
the Negro workers are constantly
faced with starvation because of
race discrimination on the job and
elsewhere. These are important mat
tiers that cannot be overlooked. But
what is one to expect from a man
who has for years been playing on
the side of those who had greater
advantages to offer.

how superficial and ignorant he is
of affairs in Haiti. The American
people who are acquainted with the
history of Haiti and the Haitian
people, with their gallant struggle
for liberty and independence, can
readily see that the articles of La
Guardia are unfounded and absurd.
He again, in these articles, brings
forth the theory that the dark races
will always be oppressed because
they are an inferior race. In his
opinion, Haiti especially must be
brought under the subjugation of the
U. S. A. because she won her indie
pendence from France thru the ex-
termination of the great, heroic army
of Napoleon, under the commander
ship of Rochambeau in 1904, in
bloody battles" And our congress

writer mouths the familiar alarm,
