Iit ittlf ENID GOES CABLING.

Fast as the taxi bore Enid toward -bcr destination she wished it would go faster. Phil was iii dangcr-she Nus going 10 him.
 She tried to lull herself into feeling Of security and belief that there was no real causc for great -hasJo but failed utterly.
 Her thoughts swung into another channel, but one that was even -Iuore tortuous and less conducive to peace of mind. If it were not that the man she loved Was in very real danger of perhaps even his life. -Mhat she was doing now would have seemed foolhardy-but it was the ~only way ont that she saw for both Phil and Roy.
 -- But afterward2 Even if she were successful tonight, what about the .arterward? What about her future relationship with Phil' She was the sister of a. criminal. Yes it was back again. that thought with all its poignant suffering! True, from the moment Shc had realized what she believed was the sCurrilous trickery that had started Roy on .ghis career of crime, she had not considered him morally guilty-but 7the law would not look on 1t in the same way, nor would the world. -- She could not make q social out s-cast Of Phil Martin. She could -nevor do anything to harm his ca -yccr or cmbittor his future. And so ~thcro couId never be anything be- tween him and herself.
 Her oycs were suddenly blurred sand wet as she stared out of the window She had no reason to be- licvo that he cared for her-or that ahe ever would carc--and she hoped now that it was that way. It would be much easier for them both.
 She would love him always, be- cause that love had come into her life for always-but he would never 4Enow. IL was her love that Was ,4alling her 1o him tonight-but he --youId not know that either. And rToy? I was not Roy's fault. But ..hut-oh, what would be the end Of -it all?
 Her mind worked on and on re- lontlcssly, and if was almost in a .startled way that she realized the taxi had drawn up to the curb and had come to q halt. She got out and paid her fare, adding q tip. The taxi ~rattled away.
 She walked rapidly along the block that separated her from -Eighty-third street, and on reach ing tho corner took the natural turn into the cross street.
 She had no means of knowing Tn --what block was the house with the TO Let" sign. She only knew that it was near Avenue A. She would rhayc to search for 1t until she found it.
 She walked a little way down the street without result then cross cd over and went back on the other side of the street to the avenue. She then di! precisely the same thing or both sides west of the avenue, With- out result.

POLICE CONTINUE
KELLY QUESTIONING
Baker Murder Clues Fade and
Sneak Thief Theory
Persists.

Police investigating the murder OF
Mary Baker planned last night to SUBJ
ject George A. Kelly, who found her
clothing and pieces OF stolen jewelry
In q sewer on the Arlington Expert
mental Farm, to another grilling in hope
Of tracing the jewelry from the time IL
was stolen, on March 40, until it was
placed In the nanhole.
The mystery Of how the two necklaces
and bracelet, stolen from automobiles
parked near Government buildings, got
into the sewer with Miss Bakers per-
sonal belongings has baffied investlga-
tors. Many Of the operatives have
turned to the theory that the girl was
killed by a sneak thief whom she sur
prised In the act Of looting her auto
mobile.
Kelly. who is being held in the fifth
precinct station house, was arrested
issued here which charges him with
grand larceny. The charge is based
on the alleged theft of clothing from
. Twelfth street rooming house two
days after the articles were found in
the sewer.
Kelly has denied any knowledge Of
the stolen jewelry or of the alleged
theft from the rooming house. Accord
ing to Lieut.. Edward J. Kelly, chief Of
inc HoHliclue squad, ne Is aDSOlutely
In the clear"
Kelly has admitted being in the city
since April 9 and police want to check
his movements from that time until he
left for New York q week later.
In the opinion Of Commonwealth

ton County, who participated actively
In the search for the slayer during the
early stages Of the Investigation, the
man who killed Miss Baker will not be

entitled to liberalized retirement law.
Because OF the personal views of one
or two men the passage OF the bill has
been blocked to date. If the Senate
confereeS cannot or do not agree with
the House conferees should yield and
let the Dale bill pass.
There Is no doubt in my mind but
q compromise bill could be agreed upon
increasing the retirement allowance the
Government employees could receive to
81 900 instead Of $1,000, as provided in
the Dale bill, and to provide a min
imum pension of $500 q year, and to
take care Of the objections of the Pres
ident as to contributions by higher
salaried employees by providing that con-
tributions shall be taken up to the sal
ary limit of $1,000. Such a bill could
pass this year very quickly and con-
sideration given to further liberalization
at later date.
IF no legislation passes this year It
will be because Of the personal am
billions Of one or two men and will be
a violation Of the pledge made to Fed
eral employees that some sort Of law pro-
viding for liberalization would be passed
this year.
Personally, there is no need for me
TO explain my position because it is so
clearly understood. stand for further
liberalization of the retirement law and
Tor any legislation that will give the
Federal employees better working condi-
tons and with adequate salaries. I
feel that the time Is coming when
the Federal employees In the main
should be put on q five-day working
basis"

Col. MacNab formerly was military

says complaint was made recently to
Gen. Charles p. Summerall, Army chief
OF stan, that Col. MacNab, speaking
here and in New Jersey on Mexico,

diplomatic work.
Mr.. Morrow now is q candidate for

GEN. CROSBY VISIONS MODEL
POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR D. C.
Holds Courtesy, Humanism and Dis
erection Are Fundamentals of
Good Policemen.

Courtesy humanism and discretion
are three of the fundamental ingredi-
ents of a good policeman, Maj. Gen.
Herbert B. Crosby, the Districts new
Police and Fire Commissioner. believes,
and he declared yesterday that the men
who possess a combination Of these
finer qualities are the only ones he
wants on the Metropolitan Police force.
Above all. he wants Police Department
that will be looked upon as a model for
the Nation, and thinks that the best
way to achieve this goal Is to Tirst build
a solid foundation with the proper
personnel.
Commissioner Crosby indicated rather
Significantly that the bully" type Of
policeman will not be tolerated while
he has anything to say about the adj
ministration of the Police Department.
Neither does he propose to condcne the
stubborn "know-it-all" type who lacks
the so-called milk of human kindness
and whose heart cannot be touched by
any extenuating circumstance.
The new Commissioner IS not an ex-
trenist or q faddist, and therefore he
does not expect a good policeman to
be overzealous in his effort to be
courteous. He doesn't want the mem

that 1.-THE customer is always right"
That policy, followed by some depart
ment stores, he is firmly convinced,
would not work out satisfactorily in
police work. Neither does he believe
as did Edwin B. Hesse. former major
and superintendent of police, that
when a policeman is forced to hit q
man he should hit him courteously'
and then apologize. In his way of rea-
soning there are times when some men
must be hit and then not too courte-
ously.
There is nothing mechanical about
the work of a policeman" said Gen
Crosby. 1T is real humanized Job.
While a policeman's duties are de-
fined In a general way he must be able
to adjust himself to all sorts of vary
ing conditions and circumstances. And
there's where discretion plays an i'm
portant role in the life Of q policeman.
Policeman Must Use Judgment.
cit might be justifiable, for instance,
for policeman to act 'hardboiled' with
a motorist who deliberately raced across
an intersection to beat a stop light,
life and limb in doing so.
But would that policeman be justified
In handling the same way another
motorist who Is caught unavoidably in
the center of an intersection when the
traffic light shifts and forces him to
scramble out against a red light? And
by the same token a policeman would
not be expected to show the same con-
for bootlegger or q criminal
that he should give an overtime parker

BY the Associated Press.

Rejecting an opportunity to sit in the
United States Senate by appointment,
Dwight w. Morrow announced yeSter-
day that he would open his campaign
for the Republican senatorial nomina-
ton from New Jersey within the next
10 days with view to entering the
Senate at the opening Of the December
session by election Of the people.
If nominated and elected In Novem-
Der, Morrow will succeed Walter E.
Edge, now Ambassador to France, dur
Ing the short term from December, 1880,
to March, 1881. He will be q candidate
also for the six-year term beginning in
1891.
Morrow announced that he had re-
jected the offer of Gov. Larson and
Senator Baird that the latter resign
Immediately to make way for MorTow's
appointment.

He said also that he had postponed

he sailed for the London Naval Con-
ference required the Ambassadors at
tention and a previously announced
plan indicated he would make the trip
to the Mexican capital before opening
his campaign.
In announcing the changed plan.
Morrow said, however, that he would
fulfill his promise to Mexican officials
by returning after the election.
Under the present arrangement, Nor
row will campaign for the nomination
as q member of the diplomatic corps
In announcing his candidacy last De-
cember. he expressed his purpose to re-
sign from the State Department before
entering the home political campaign.

He expressed willingness to respond
to any call from the Senate foreign re-
lations committee considering the Lon

traflc regulation"
Since Commissioner Crosby took Of
flee he has devoted considerable time to
study of the police department, its
problems and Its trials and tribulations.
He has not, however, drawn up any
definite plans for improving the condi-
tions he found or for increasing the
police service and the efficiency of the
department.
II have q lot Of ideas" the Commits
sioner admitted, but they have not yet
crystalized. I propose to study them
and discuss them with police officials
and others. I particularly want to
get the views OF those who have had
more experience than I have had in
police matters"
To Prepare Digest Of Code.

time. But what he proposes to do
soon u the preparation Of pamphlet,
condensing In few pages the multi
farious rules and regulations set forth
In the police manual to guide police
man. Picking up bulky copy Of this
manual, the Commissioner looked at 1t
quiZically and said: "You can't ex.
pect a policeman to read and digest all
that"
Il am firmly Of the opinion that q
policeman should know the general
rules Of the department" said Gen.
Crosby. HE should know, too that he
can't arrest a man just because some one
pointed him out as bootlegger. And.
in particular, a policeman should know
the special rules in effect in his own
precinct. Conditions, Of course. are not
the same all over the District, and
changes are necessary in the different
precincts.
only scant attention has Gen.
Crosby given the subject Of the per-
sonal appearance of the men on the
force. It was one of the first things,
he said, he thought the public expected
him to tackle when he became Com
missioner. Since he has been in ONCE.
however, he declared he had found
many problems more important than
the subject of how policeman should
wear his hat, or the cut of his jib.

Crosbys mind, however, plans are ger
minating that will eventually give the
police force more military snap" and
The neatnesS to which he was accus-
toned In the Army. Perhaps, Sam
Brown belt, a pair of white cotton
gloves, or some other military trapping
may be added TO the uniform equip
ment, but the Commissioner made 1t
clear that 1t is far too early in his
administration for him to predict what
the well dressed policeman will wear
in 1881.
