like that-oh. 81 long ago!
Mitchell sat up sharply. What
was the use of this nonsense?
He turned as he heard a knock
at the door. Edward. the butler, ap-
peared in response to the call

Again Mitchell bent over iiis

past week. 1t was the same story.
Ak every climax of his life he had
taken the wrong turn. II was his
fault Celia had disappeared. He
saw himself for what he was-a
man grown prematurely old. a

court battle had crowded practical

They had homes, wives. and fami-

his skill. What had he, John Nit

canter. filled a glass and drank il.
How blind he had been to trust
Celia to Evelyn Parsonsl Evelyn
was shrewd. She had accepted John

himself to be Oh, widest folly!

Moreover. Evelyn. thwarted, was

Mitchell paced the length of the
room. He crossed the floor. turned
and stopped at the sound Of tap

the detective Headquarters. The
fellow who's been shadowing Jor-

A violent oath burst from Mitch

Dinner conservation centered on
the only subject which interested
either OF the two men. Practically
nothing new in the search had
been reported.
Again Shields preached the sub

Mrs. Parsons home.

They were considering this phase

Study Of the city-wide sewage dis

The present city sewage system
was designed and laid out by Ru-

gineer, during the administration of
Thomas L. Sullivan, father Of Mayor

of the city's population has

CAIRO, Jan. 31.-A search Tor
the tomb Of Alexander the Great Is
likely 10 be conducted at last in
his namesake city. Harold Carter,
explaining his plans for the COM
ing seasons final work at the tomb
Of Tutankhamen, expressed interest
in seeking the tomb of Alexander
after his excavations at the
Valley of the Kings are ended.
Residents Of Egypt have count
cred with the suggestion that Egypt
well might undertake this important
search, and at present the need for
locating AleXander's tomb is a much
discussed topic.
The Macedonian conqueror who
fought the greater part Of his
world and won it. died in Babylon.
Plutarch stated that Alexander was
taken TO Alexandria and buried in
n gold coffin. Herodotus, another
historian. mentions seeing a gla IS
sarcophagus Of Alexander as it was
carried in a procession leading
westward from the EIphrates river.
II the tomb is in Alexandria at

of the Mosque Of Nebi Daniel. Plans

Breccia. curatc of the Greco-Roman

The neighbOrhOOd of the mosque

Doubt that Alexander ever was
buried in Egypt has been expressed
by correspondent in the Egyptian

Greek hero would more likely have
been taken back to his native town
of Pella for burial.
He points out that Perdicas was

grew by leaps and bounds and the
1920 population was 100000, over
loading many of the sewers. The
estimate was about 80 per cent low,
Moore said.
The downtown sewage needs
should be under observation and
study for the next ten years with
the view Of constructing a proper
method OF relief at that time, II
the city's growth continues at

Parallel relief sewers or a SAM

necessary in a few years, Moore
added.
Surveys of the extent, use and

department. The auxiliary sewers
will cost millions of dollars when

ing to a recent investigation into
the problem by a commission Gre
ated by President Hoover, it was
learned yesterday.
The commissions report, based
on a survey by DR.. r. j. Woofter
Of the University of North Caro-
line and financed by Julius Ro-
senwald of Chicago, found the
main factor to be considered was
the rapidly increasing population,
both colored and white, of the
southern part of the country.
Calling attention to the great
reservoir of labor" on southern
farms, the report said, approx
mately 10000 more negroes and
100000 more white people are
born each year than the number
who die In this area"
The report concluded that ne
groes properly equipped for farm
ing would stay on the farms and
advised that negro agricultural ed
ucation be stimulated, that exten
sion work among negro farmers
with negro agents be begun. that
cooperative marketing and credit
institutions be favored and that
efforts be made to widen land
ownership by negroes.

INSURANCE
BILL IS DISCUSSED
Weekly Payment BenefiCi-
aries Declared Not Suffi-
GENTLY Protected.

A subcommittee of the Senate District
Committee heard arguments today for
and against a bill introduced by Senator
Blaine of Wisconsin, intended to place
further safeguards around holders OF
small industrial insurance policies on
which premiums are payable weekly.
Percy Budlong, spokesman for advo-
Gates Of the BILL argued that without
such legislation beneticiaries of holders
of such policies are not sufficiently pro-
tected against disputed claims when the
insured dies within the first two gears
of the policy After two years the sub
committee was told, the policies are not
conteStable.
Most of the hearing was devoted to
discussion of whether copies of the APP
plication blank should be attached to
the policy.
w. Gwynn Gardiner, a local attorney,
who told the subcommittee his eX-
perience in insurance litigations in the
District, contended that under the Dis
trict code and decisions of the Court
of Appeals, if copies of the application
are not attached to the policy no de-
tense can be based on anything put in
or left out of the application. He said
he could see no necessity for legislation
to require attachment of the application
to the policy in this jurisdiction unless
the local courts should reverse in some
future case the rule now followed.
Mr. Budlong explained that the pend
ing bill would provide that if the ap-
plication was not attached to the policy,
company would have to prove that
the person insured knew or had reason
to believe that his health was unSound
if the policy was to be contested
Representatives of several companies
explained to the subcommittee what
they regarded as Objectionable features
in the bill. They presented figures to
show that the number of disputed
claims arising from industrial insurance
policies in the District is small in
comparison to the volume of business.
They took the view that the bill
would not benefit honest policy holders
but would make it more difficult to
guard against unreasonable claims.

PROSECUTION WINS
SHEPARD CONTEST
Draws Poisoning Testimony
From Nurse Over 0biec-
tons by Defense.
BY the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, Kans.. December 10.
With the defense Directing to almost
every question, the Government put
Miss Clara Brown, nurse, back on the
stand today in the murder trial Of Maj.
Charles A. Shepard and drew from her
again the statement that the defend
ants wife had told her she was poi
soned by Shepard.
Shepard himself took the stand
briefly to answer the nurses story, and
declared If there was any bottle on the
shelf in the closet of his room at the
time of his wife's illness, he knew
nothing about it. Miss Brown had
stated Mrs Shepard connected a bot
tie found in the majors closet with
her asserted poisoning
Mai. E. Stricken, chief of the
medical staff at Fort Riley, psy-
chiatrist. then testified for the defense
that Mrs Shepard was not responsible
for what she said on the day the al
legged statement was made about her
being poisoned He said Mrs. Shepard
was not sane on that day.
The nurses testimony was stricken
from the records when she gave 1t yes
terday, but went before the jury today
over repeated objections by the defense.
The Government rested rebuttal evil
dence in its efforts to convict the Army
medical officer for the alleged poison
murder of his wife at Fort Riley, Kans.,
in 1929 after questioning Miss Brown.
The witness said the mind of Mrs.
Shepard appeared normal on the second
day of her illness. the day Miss Brown
declared Mrs Shepard stated DIR.
