man, author of Now I'm Civilized, u
which has created quite q furore in
literary circles nv the very unique
method of blending humor with sa-
tire, has just announced the compile

Mr.. Huffman wrote this play almost
two years ago. He claims the play
was written expressly for Evelyn

disbanded Lafayette Players. He was
prevented from staging his play
then on account of a change in
policy at the Lincoln theater here.
When he submitted the play to
Miss Preer the other day she was so
elated that she assisted the young
author by getting in touch with New
York producers who are expected to
back the play. This play, like the
authors book, has it's uniqneness.

Jimmie laughed as they started to the house for another look for the will. Morgan, the lawyer, was at Merrow Craig when they arrived i and described the will as lengthy document on stout paper, tied with green silk.
 Evelyn said that her aunt was very methodical and usually dealt with business matters at her desk and that it was Janet's job to re- move waste paper and rubbish.
 The maid, summoned to the young ladies' dressing room, where the little group was assembled, was positive she had never removed any paper of the sort described.
 But I seed the will, all right, U she added suddenly.
 When did you see it? Where?" asked Richmond.
 "She was reading it. It was like l the gentleman says-large sheets of paper, written over, and tied with green ribbon" Janet could not be sure. but this was on either the Monday or the Tuesday before her mistress died.
 At the instance of the lawyer who was sure Miss Querdling had not destroyed it, every corner of the house was ransacked, but noth- ing was found. The desk at which Miss Querdling had done most ot her business, yielded nothing, ex- cept an empty secret drawer be- hind which there was an unsus- pected panel. This slid back anc revealed a faded photograph oi fifty years before-a man with side whiskers, whom Marjorie and Eve lyn guessed to be their father-a valentine and some dust that once had been rose leaves.

SYNOPSIS: Annabelie QucTd- ling's murder furnishes a mys- fery on which possibie new light is shed when Jimmie HasWen, amateur sleuth, and Superin- tcndont Richmond, learn at the inquest that she had written a will disinheriting her nieces, Marjorie and Evelyn Blake, Tn the event of marriage. Mar isrie had discovered the fatal crushing of her aunt by a top pied image but both she and her sister, Evelyn, who was with her fiance, Lionel Duck worth, in the music room when the body was found, deny their guilt. So do DuckwCrth, Dr. Netherton and Major Gresham, the spinster's tilted suitor, when their presence on the premises is admitted. After questioning ihcse and ether witnesses, the corcner's jury takes the case just before Vincent Blake of London, brother Of the nieces and possible beneficiary of the will, appears. He admits that he was the stranger seen near the grounds on the fatal night but denies he had entered the grounds. The superintendent strongly suspects him.

 l.sLet's admit that he could have done It.. said Jimmie. If so, was it through impulse or plan? The latter seems unlikely. His pres ence here would excite comment, yet he motored here and leaves the car on the road outside. A mur- derer would come in secret, prob ably disguised, and would try to cover his tracks"
 Suppose, said Richmond, The did see the old lady and she turned his scheme down. He might have lost control of himself and thrown the stone devil on her"
 .sThere seem to be two reasons against that--or three. The first is that, so far as we can tell, he had no reason to think that hel death would benefit him. While shs lived there was hope. Second, ht was liable to be seen in the gar dcns at any moment. Then, O course the man may be schemer hut I doubt his being capable O the sudden fury you suggest.

Roscoe was still on duty, but Mrs. Roscoe asked them in.
 The superintendent was glad to accept the beer served by Mrs. Ros- COG. Its the most baffling, con- tradictory affair that ever came my way he exclaimed.
 Tt is difficult" said Jimmie, "and calls for some clear thinking. Let's cut out the things that will not really assist, the impersonal ones first. The letters probably won't l help. Duckworth suggested tn a | the were written by two people. Probably so, the first by some dis gruntled servant, meaning no harm. Then some one took up the idea, out of deviltry, or to keep alive the impression of the first enemy to divert suspicion from later events.
 Green thought the car he and Collett saw resembled Stirling's and Dr. Netherton saw Stirling driving in that direction.
 T confirmed Strings visit to his friend at Midgley Moor said Richmond. Yet it would not have been impossible for him to have spent 10 or Is minutes at Merrow Craig. No one else admits park ing on the course at that time"
 Jimmie resumed. "Then the will. I suggest you inquire at the bank. don't think it's there, for I don't believe she would have signed a will likely to be contested

Haswell considered Richmond's presentation of Blake's position. Are you suggesting" he asked fin- ally, that the nephew murdered Miss Querdling, that he stole the will-or both?"
 Well, what do you think?"
 well he began, it is not easy to see how Vincent could have known about the will, if the girls did not, and if only the aunt and her lawyer knew. If he is in it he must have been in league with

angular tragedy involving a stork
family is the story coming in from
a village in the eastern part of
Brandenburg.
For many years the storks' nest

easily identiiable because of a de-
formity of his left leg.

CRIME JUSTICE
SYSTEM BAD
Thorough 0verhauIing of
Machinery Needed, Says
WickerSham.
By United Prcss

By United Press
CINCINNATI, April II. A
thorough overhauling Of our whole
system Of criminal justice is needed,
George w. Wickersham, chairman
Of the national law enforcement and
observance commission, said Thurs
day night at a dinner of the Gin
cinnati regional crime committee.
Attacking "a public attitude to-
ward law that encourages lawbreak
ing" Wickersham made a general
criticism of the administration Of
justice in this country.
He conceded that some improve
ment had been attempted here and
there by unofficial bodies such as
bar associations, but said legislators
were slow to follow exposure of the
evils with remedial legislation.
"In the desperate effort to COM
pei obedience to law, experience has
shown that those charged with the
high functions of enforcing the law
sometimes stoop to attain their ends
by means as illegal as the acts they
seek to punish or suppress" Wick
ersham said.
He did not mention prohibition
specifically.

UNION BOAT DEPOT

By United Press
LILLE, France, April 1.-THE first
waterway union station in the
world is being constructed here at
the crossing of the waterways of
Europe and soon all the canal boats
will tie up at quays in a great CEN
trail station, with quays for ex-
press barges and other wharves
for slower freight carriers.
The new union station is on the
site of demolished Notifications
which once walled in the city. The
station will be nearly a mile long,
with basin ITO feet wide and
deep enough to accommodate 600
ton barges.
In northeastern France, where
rivers are navigable and canals
have been used for freight carry
ing for centuries, the barges carry
a greater tonnage than the rail-
ways. To further this traffic, an
other great canal Is to be built
between st. Omer and the sea at
Dunkirk.
