Back In the cab Smokestack drew wad
of waste from his pocket and commenced
polishing the faces of the various clocks He
touched drop cord and instantly the light
on the instrument board changed from red
to green. A lusty yell brought withers into
the cab.
"Lookit that Mr. Steinmetz," Smokestack ex-

Wind banged frozen deck curtains. Smoke
stack saw that the storm had formed wall
to shorten the headlight reach; had all but
darkened it. The needle of the speed recorder
climbed steadily. At 60 it hovered a moment.
Smokestack half rose In his seat and threw a
distrustful look at Withers. When the needle
moved higher he sank back on his seatbox
and refilled his pipe. Tolliver shoveled coal.

slid from behind the reverse lever.
Snokestack glanced at the steam gauge. The
pressure wasn't so good; he'd show Tolliver how
to reach the front end of the flrebox with few
scoops Of Ignite. It was a mans job, hand
firing a big Pacific. Half a dozen scoops of
ccal slithered to the front end of the roaring

just to make him sore. Hogheads despised
guys that told them to stop for a red one. But
Withers hadn't seen the red one. How could
he when he had his head and shoulders pro-
jecting from the open cab window, as If he
were listening for wedges pounding?
Smokestack muttered into the noise. WitherS
would find out for himself that the light was

neer got on the job. It was too late to tell
Withers now. A hoghead had to get busy the
minute the red light flashed If he wanted to
forestall the action of the automatic brake
setter. And 1t looked as if it were going to
work. There was the kissing of air brakes,
grinding noise of brake shoes on engine and
car wheels, and the mail sliding to noisy stop.
Withers jerked his head inside the cab. He
gazed at the air brake handle, then ct Smoke.

Don't blame me-" Smokestack chuckled;

THE road foreman cursed and thrust his
head out into the storm once more.

Sure, it's green and this baby here Is sup

Smokestack agreed.
One long and three short blasts from the

and the Hight of his torch was xnuffed out
under Withers' weight.
"Cripes, man, that amt no way to get off,"
Smokestack yelled. He slid down the steps
to the ofhcials assistance. Hey, Tolliver, light

Withers poked . screwdrtver into the intri-

alive with electrical power.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Oct. 81.
W.P)-Governor Clifford Pinchot, a
crusading dry, today accepted phil
osophically the evident repeal Of
prohibition. He bowed to 1.-the de-
cision of the majority without sur
render of my convictions.
He listed five "must nots',
which he said would constitute his
obligation as governor of Penn
sylvania in holding to a minimum
the evils which the return of
liquor will surely bring
Those five points, on which, he
said, general agreement exists
between "sincere drys'' and "sin-
cere wets,' were
l. The saloon must not come
back
2. Liquor must be kept out Of
politics.
g. Liquor must not be sold with
out restraint.
a. Liquor retailing licensing by
the courts. must not return.
S. The sale of liquor must be so
handled as to discourage bootleg
ging by making it Improbable.
Governor Pinchot S speech was
"What Shall A Dry Do Now?' and
was made before the Pennsylvania
State College Christian association
1t was his first public pronounce
ment upon prohibition and repeal

The United States navy, shorn by
treaties of it's wartime strength, to

monstrations OF lis efficiency and
peacetime pursuits.
President Roosevelt led the OBJ
servance with a declaration that
"along with a lessening of naval
armament, there comes a greater
reason for maintaining the highest
efficiency, fitness and morale in this

Ships everywhere and navy yards

MOONEY WILL
TAX cease To
j. {. COURT

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81. U.P)-
On the grounds that he has been
deprived Of his constitutional rights
through continued Imprisonment,
Tom Mooney, California's most ia
nous convict, will carry his fight for
freedom into the u. S. supreme
court next month, the Mooney de-
fense committee announced today.
MONEYS acquittal last May on an
old murder indictment developing
from the Preparedness day bombing
in 1916 was expected to be used in
his new appeal which, the an
nouncement said, Frank. p Walsh,
the former labor leaders counsel for
many years, will direct.
! Mooney was convicted and senten-
ced to life Imprisonment on another
| indictment in the Preparedness day
disaster in which bomb explosion
killed 10 spectators assembled for
parade here.
The indictment which sent Moon
ey to prison charged him with the
murder of Hetta Knapp, one OF
those killed by the explosion. He
| was acquitted on the charge of mur-
dering Arthur Nelson, another VIC
tim.
"He is either guilty Of all the
deaths or guilty of none of them,
the defense committee said.
MONEYS new effort to leave
prison coincided with the move OF
his co-defendant, Warren K. Bill
ings, to obtain a parole. Billings
dropped efforts to win a pardon af
ter California courts and governors
refused to consider his pleas ano
those of Mooney.
