He continued to talk. Neither he nor
any Of the others paid the least atten-

Guided, he returned to unfinished bust
ness.
O'Hara headed down the long hall
toward the bedroom of which he was
to be part occupant. Upon one Of the
cots he dropped the saddlebags, after
busting them with gunny sack which
he found in one corner of the room.
Back of the house he found well,
a tin wash basin, and dirty towel.
He finished washing just in time to
answer the supper bell.
1t was characteristic of Garrett
O'Hara that he did not call at once
on Steve Worrall at the Longhorn
corral. He wanted first to get his own
Impressions Of the town. AS much as
he had seen Of the place fascinated
him. It was raw and crude, but the
yeast of young and exuberant life
worked in it. If it had not been wild
and untamed he would have been dis
appointed.
He wandered up the street and his
haphazard footsteps took him toward
a sound of music. A Mexican bale
was in progress. He paid the price
of admission and stepped inside. A.
1.-the, bright-eyed girl was doing a fam
dango with young fellow in Spanish
costume. O'Hara watched the scene
eagerly. This was the sort of thing
he had come West to see. 1t had color,
the charm of the unusual.
There came a disturbance at the
door, disputing voices, an Eruption of
men, not Mexicans. There were four
of them, and at the head Of the group
one whom O'Hara at once recognized,
the fellow whom he had met that
afternoon, Shep Sanderson. They
were intoxicated, primed for trouble.
The Mexicans drew back, scowling at
them.
O'Hara took one quick look around
the room. There was no way out eX-
cept by the front door unless he
climbed through window. His re-
volver was at the hotel in his saddle
bags. He grinned, a foolish little
smile. Probably he was in for very
unpleasant experience, to put the case
mildly.
AS yet Sanderson had not seen him.
The fellow had seized hold of girl
and was dancing with her much against
her will. The natives shouted pro-
tests and muttered oaths of anger.
but they were not prepared for active
resistance.
The music stopped when Sanderson
was close to O'Hara. The big man did
not trouble to see that his partner
reached her seat. He dropped her at
once from his mind.
"Feed me cigarette, fellow" he or
dered, and then noticed to whom he
was talking. by cripes, it's the
tenderfoot."
O'Hara felt his blood quicken. Dan
ger always had that effect upon him.
"At your service" he replied.

with fear.

HOW POWER
TRUST SUBSIDIARY
CONCEALS PROFIT
Unbelievable Story of BOOkkeep-
ing 'HOkus POcus" By Which
Power Company Deceives Pub
lie.

Washington-(FP)- 10 I'm H.
Buckley, expert accountant of the
Federal Power Commission, testi-
flying before the Commission Mar.
A on what he found in examining
the books of the Ohio Power Co.,
which is owned by the American
Gas & Electric Co., which is own
ed by the giants of the power
trust, showed how his Ohio con-
Germ conceals profits in its reports
to the Ohio Public Utilities Com
mission.
The Ohio Power Co. reported to
the Ohio state authorities that its
net operating revenue in 1928 was
$15,547, 1919, for the sale of 1885,
100000 kilowatts of electricity,
when in fact, as shown by its re-
port to the American Gas & Elec-
trio Co., the revenue was $18,9O2,-
480 for 1,127,OO0,OOO kilowatts
hours. That is to say, its reve-
nues was $3,354, 900 more than re-
ported to the state, on an output
of 100000 kilowatt hours less
than reported to the state.
The trick was turned by treat
ing its Windsor steam plants pro-
duction as electricity from other
sources" and by emitting the rev.
enue on the one hand and the ex-
pense of operation on the other,
from the report to the state, a
net revenue of SPILL 900 was
concealed. The company sold this
electric current under a cost-plus
system, to big consumers including
the Wheeling Electric Co., and the
Appalachian Electric Power Co.,
. and to certain large consumers
who were not subsidiaries. Into
the "cost" on this concealed pro-
duction was charged each of the
usual items of production expense,
and "rental" to the amount of ST.
100000. Buckley testified that
this presumably covered profit.
Chief Counsel Healy asked what
difference this hidden revenue
made in the net electric revenue
: of the Ohio Company in 1928. The
accountant replied that it increas.
J. ed it from 0.514 to 0.7O2 cents g

New Liner to Be of Such Proportion That Three Trains
Could Be Driven Abreast Through One of Her tunnels

The new liners being construct

In various cities in North Ameri-
ca, will assume colossal proper
lions when completed. Some idea
of the dimensions planned for the
new 10000 gross ton Canadian Pa
cific liner Empress of Britain, now
under construction on the CLYDE,
can be gained from the fact that
three standard gauge trains could
run abreast through each of her
streamline tunnels at the same
time leaving sufficient clearance
for a hypothetic trespasser. Ar
chitects are equipping the Empress
of Britain with three tunnels and
in stream-lining these they will
depart radically from standard
British marine practice. Landlub-
bers, as a rule, are not aware that
the third stack is often added
merely to balance the appearance
of the ship and that it serves only
as ventilator and engine room
hatch through which bulky ma
chinery can be lowered into the
ship. Today with the increased
demand for more speed the third
funnel has utilitarian as we'll as
an artistic function,
Time was when the size of a

Fran C o-Italian Imbroglio Shows No Signs of
 Breaking Deadlock

LONDON, March 24.-Pending word from the Japanese Govern ment regarding the tentative agrcc- ment between the Americans and Japanese on naval ratios, it is said in authoritative circles that the Americans and British will go ahead in preparation of a draft on the conference pact, on the assumption that no break in the Franco-Italian deadlock develops
 The Americans and British plan drafting a pact, leaving la n k spaces for the Japanese to fill later.
 France and Italy will be invited to sign and may subscribe some clauses but the pact would be vir- tually a Three Power agreement which, it is understood, will follow the lines of the Washington Treaty.
 So far there is no secret that the Five Power gree mel the Americans brought to the Confer ence will not likely see the light of day, owing to the Franco-Italian imbroglio.
