Virginia lawyer have indicated they would be present when the meeting con- venes. Anderson is abroad. Chair man Wickersham is on the Atlantic, with the definite assurance that he will be in Washington by Monday.
 Only two members of the commits sion were at headquarters yesterday. They were Kenneth Macintosh, for mer Washington state supreme court i, Justice, and Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard Law school.
 Macintosh already has announced he would insist that the commission make known it's judgment on the prohibition law, stating unequivoc- ally whether the dry statutes is be- lieved enforceable or what the com- mission believes should be done if it is not.
 Dean Pound declined to discuss his stand on Mackintosh's statement that the commission ''go to the guts of the prohibition question" He said, however, he was studying new material gathered by the commis- sion and if necessary would remain in Washington until next Wednesday to complete his survey.

"It is this," Winslow could be clear and straight to the point when he wished. "Dr. Kane has made some remarkable cures where the spine was injured. resulting in par tial paralysis. Your injury was to the spine-?"

 Elsa shrank back in her chair. "Tonight?"

 l Winslow wheeled Elsa to her room, where her nurse met them. 1 Prepare Miss Chase for an ex- animation, then notify me. here" said Kane, pointing to an old nettee which stood across the hall from | Elisa's bedroom door. Nearly two hours elapsed before the elevator once more took Dr. Kane to the second story Walking slowly along that floor to his bed room he heard voices coming from the large reception room.

trange to have his body taken there or shall r"
 T can," the undertaken answered But don't think you have quite grasped what I have been saying Mir. Winslow. Dr. McLane has helt up the death certificate"
 Winslow took step backward What" he exclaimed. Whats the matter with McLane?
 Nothing shortly. But in case of ! accidental death. :" He paused.
 Its a pity you didn't call the coroner at once"
 "McLane is my family physician. Winslow spoke with some asperity T naturally thought of him first Did you call the coroner?"
 No; Dr. McLane talked to him on the telephone" Payne drew the door to behind him while still speak ing. Why don't you see the doctor He'll advise you about the technical ities of the case"
 Winslow continued to stare blank ly at the front door for several sec onds after the undertaker's depar- ture, then he turned heavily and walked over to the small telephone stand.
 Gan you get MT. Thorne?" he called, as sleepy voice answered the operators ring. Ask him tc come out to Oaklands; MT. Wins low wishes to see him at once.' Muttering, Winslow selected his overcoat from among several thrown carelessly on chair, and went out of the front door and around the house.
 On turning the corner at the rear he stopped abruptly at sight of Jack and a stranger standing gazing ul at a second story window.
 "Oh. Dad" Jack hailed his ap- pearance with note of relief in his w-pitched voice, "Coronef Pen field wishes to see you"
 Winslow advanced with out stretched hand. T am glad you are here" he said. T wish that had kept my wits about me and tele- phoned for you immediately"
 The coroner hooded. Tt would have been best" he responded dry ly. and his air clearly indicated dis approval Your son tells me that you found pr. Kane here. The body should not have been removed; cannot understand why McLane per mitted it."
 He wasn't here then" explained Winslow. We were so overcome by the tragedy that none of us thought clearly; our main idea was to get poor Kane indoors and resuscitate him." He paused and glanced in awe at the upper window. Kane must have died instantly when he struck the ground"
 Penfeld measured the distance from the window to the ground with his eye. then bowed his head. "A fall from there might break any body's neck" he agreed. But come, speculation is, idle. Where is the body now.?"
 "On the lounge in the card room. Coming with us, Jack?"
New Britain herald., 1930-10-03

I'll join you later" and Jack trudged off down the circular path ltading to the big brick and stone garage.
 | Waiting until the other two were out of sight, the boy retraced his footsteps, but this time, instead of pausing at the spot where he and the coroner had stopped fifteen min utes earlier. he continued past the glassed-in loggia, used both as breakfast room and sun parlor, to a window next to 1t on the first floor.
 With movement almost feverish in it's haste. Jack stopped over and swept his hand along the brown turf for a distance of three or more feet. What he sought was not there. He strengthened up with reddened face to find Ferguson the gardener returning with a stranger in tow.
 This ere gentleman has a pint ment with your father" explained the gardener.
 My name is Thorne." The de- tective's pleasant voice was relief after Ferguson's throaty tones. Your father" with a quiet ap- praising look at Jack which missed nothing, "telephoneed for me to come at once. Can I see him?"
 "I- I suppose so," ,<doubtfullyA Will you come this way?" and wasting no further words, Jack started for the front of the house. With a hitch at his trousers and q passing glance at the undertaker's assistants. Ferguson followed Jack and the detective, although at a re- spectable distance.
 Thank God you've come!" ejacu- lated Winslow. My guest, the noted surgeon. Paul Kane, accidentally fell out of second story window last night and died instantly"
 The detective looked at the older man with quickened interest.
 Horrible" he exclaimed. "Is there anything that I can do?"
 Coroner Penfeld wants you, Dad" and not waiting for the others, Jack hastened to the cara room. He>was only a second or two ahead of Winslow, whose brief ! Cont along" proved an invitation not only to Thorne but to the gar dener who trailed behind them.
 Both of the Winslows hesitated at sight of the prone figure on the lounge. The room still bore evil dence of the game of the night be- fore; playing cards filtered the ta- pie, poker chips were scattered even on the floor. while decanters and soiled glasses, with a plate of stale sandwiches were on small end ta- | ble. AS the men drew closer to the still body, Coroner Penfeld was the first to break the silence.
 MT. Winslow," he began, twas Dr. Kane in good health before re- tiring last night?"

CHURCHES AGREE
ON BASIS or UNION
Presbyterian and Reformed
Denominations, With 1900,
600 Members, to Unite.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, November 14.--Rep-
resentatives of Presbyterian and Re-
formed Churches agreed in principle
yesterday on a basis of union intended
to weld into one their five denomina
tions, with their approximately 100000
communicate members throughout the
country.
What debatable points remained after
a two-day conference concluded today
were referred to q special joint COM
mittee. Adoption of the report of that
committee is expected to result in the
drafting of a definite plan OF union,
to be submitted to the five national
bodies of the denominations involved
for ultimate acceptance or rejection.
The five denominations, represented
by IS delegates at the conference mere,
arc the Presbyterian Church in the
United States, the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America, the
United Presbyterian Church of North
America the Reformed Church in the
United States and the Reformed Church
in America.
subcommittee, which reported to the
Committee of the Whole, said they
found no insuperable barriers to union.
The Committee on the Spirituality of
the Church reported it found their
faiths basically Identical and that lin
the maintenance of the non-political
and non-secular character of the
church moral questions only, apart
from their distinctive political implica-
lions, are proper subjects for its cor
porate action" Other committees found
that nothing in the educational works
of the boards and agencies of the de-
nominations were a bar to union, re-
porting instead that the programs can
be more easily and naturally carried
out following union of the churches"
Differences of opinion arose, however,
on details of the system of united adj
ministration contemplated. Proposals
that the United General Assembly be
composed Of commissioners chosen by
the synods and that a new group of
administrative bodies, to be known as
general synods, be set up brought strong
opposition.
Those points in particular were re-
ferred to the special committee for fur
ther action. That committee will be
composed of representatives of each de-
nomination and will be headed by
william j. Reid, Pittsburgh, who was
chairman of todays meeting.
While the meeting has ultimate union
of the denominations as its purpose, it
was made clear in the report of the
Committee on Polity of the Church that
there is no intention of bringing about
merger of individual congregations or
other organizations within the FIVE gen.
eral bodies without the consent of those
Immediately concerned.
