rose and passed behind the screen.
When he emerged, he fixed Bruce

on the glass top Of the desk, where
it fell with q ringing sound.
At the sight Of the key, with The
string Of blue ribbon, the youne
mans face remained impassive.
Thatcher Colt bent over him
his two hands seizing the shoulder,
firmly.
"Whose key is that? To whose

"Bruce Foster might have killed
the girl to get her share of the
inheritance. He would not be the
first brother to do such a thing"
"That is horrible thought
brother to kill a sister for money!"
Instead of replying, my chief
told me to bring Bruce Foster in
to the office.
The young man who stalked in
50 boldly was tall and thin but he
looked strong. He had sandy hair,
ruddy complexion and challenging
blue eyes. In his very walk there
was an air of turbulence as if he
were determined to prove to the
world that he was not afraid Of
it. As the door swung shut behind
him, he thrust forward his head,
exposing his teeth and said to

The Repeal Vote
IN. Y. WOrld-TeleQram)


A test OF representative govern
ment was made today at the opening
session Of the house in the vote on
outright prohibition repeal. The peo-
pie voted one month ago. They
voted overwhelmingly for repeal. It
remained for congress to vote as the
people have instructed. Congress did
not. The repeal amendment lost by
a narrow margin.
Repeal means repeal. It does not
mean revision OF the Eighteenth
amendment as proposed by the Re-
publican platform and President
Hoover. That subterfuge was de-
teated last month In so far as a ma
tional election can decree.
Responsibility rested with the Dem
ocrats. They control this house
They. together with progressive al
lies, control this senate.
There can be no confusion as to
the Democratic party's pledge. It Is
distinctly not revision Of the Eigh-
tenth amendment. It is unqualified
and unencumbered repeal through the
method Of special state conventions
Thus In their Garner repeal reso.
luton vote today southern dry Dem.
ocratic representatives failed K
honor their pledge and the election
mandate. Republican Representatives
though not bound BY al outright re-
peal platform, were In part bount
BY individual repeal pledges; and al
Of them should have been influenced
BY the election referendum.
In addition to the issue of repre-.
sentative government, today's vot

1t seems that one thing the de-

Trouble for Moscow

The General Press association
European news gathering agency
recently published an article on 9TH,
New Rasputin" which asserts that +.
re-birth of religion is taking plac,
on Russia's steppes and in hel
mountains because a new saint
has appeared there.
Designating him as THE New
Rasputin" in memory Of the strange
monk who was said to have welded
an eerie influence over the late
Russian royal family, the article
says:
He claims to be sent at the
bidding of some higher power to
spread the gospel throughout
Holy Mother Russia bringing
healing and peace to his sorely-
tried Russian brethren.
From far and wide, in the
infinite reaches of the steppes,
at the mere mention of his name,
the peasants came to hear the
inspiring utterances of the new
Saint And just as in Ras-
putin's time, they abase them
selves in the dust when he gives
his blessing, their eyes hang up
on his lips when he breaches to
them the Kingdom of Heaven as
near at hand. Like Rasputin. his
phenomenal powers of suggestion
enable him to hold tens of thou
sands of people at one time be-
meath his spell. The sick and
ailing come to him in scores, to
be healed by the laying-on of
hands. And many other miracul-
Gus healings are credited to his
super-normal powers"
The affair is said to be disturb
ing the Soviet government. The man
asserts he is loyal Bolshevik and
conforms, to all outward appear
ances, to the rules for good Russian
citizenship laid down by the Moscow
dictatorship. For that reason it is
difficult for them to take actor
against him.
Nevertheless, he is menace be.

peared from the office of DR..
Humphrey Maskell. where she was
employed. Mrs. Morgan. Mas
keYs ueighbor, corroborates his
statement that he distributed gifts
with her daughter that afternoon.
Geraldine had broken her engage
ment with Harry Armstrong. It
is also learned that the mysterious
Ephraim Foster. who had written
Geraldine, is a woman. A black
mail note, presumably written by
the missing girl. leads Police
Commissioner Thatcher Colt to q
deserted house on Peddler,s Road.
Outside a window he finds seven
dead, bIood-stained pigeons. The
interior of the house is topsy-
turvy. Colt comes upon a bloody
axe and a strand of blond hair.
Betty Garfield, Geraidine's room
mate, identifies the body of nude
woman found buried a short dis
lance away as that of the missing
girl. A pillow case covers the
head. Although the surrounding
ground is dry, the grave contains
= pine-scented fluid. The medical
examiner states she was dead not
more than IS hours. Two bottles,
similar to those seen carried away
from the doctors office by two
women the day of the disappear
ance. are found near the grave.
Colt learns that Geraldine's in
heritance from her father will now
go to her brother. Bruce. A key
found in the dead girls apartment
fits the PeddIer's Road house.
