Mitchell is a believer in the tenets of Christianity, and lived with his be- lisfs. No reader of tales about Cape Horn ships, weevily hard tack and bucko mates will fail to see that this is a radical departure in salt water narrative.
 The book has a steady flow, a sort of pulse underlying the prose, that makes it delightful reading. The adventures are neither more nor less than average, but they have a plausibility and life that is highly unusual. Deep Water has the feel of a book that will live.

EMBASSY INTERPRETS BID
Thinks q. 8. Wants Britain to
Send Two Separate Missions.

BY the Associated Press.
The apparent uncertainty of British
official circles in London as to the
separate discussions Of debts and
economic problems at the Forthcoming
White House conference between the
Roosevelt administration and Great
Britain Is not shared by the British
embassy in Washington.
1t was stated at the embassy today
that the text of the Roosevelt state
ment Of January 20 was interpreted
BY members of the embassy as 1ndl-
eating two separate discussions.
The White House communique au-
thorizing the invitation to Great Brit
ain in the name of the President
elect said their coming administration
would be glad to receive British
Representative" for a discussion OF
debts" and added that it would, OF
course, be necessary to discuss at the
same time "the world economic prob
lens in which the United States and
Great Britain are mutually interested,
and, therefore, that representatives
should also be sent to discuss ways
and means for improving the world
situation"
The use Of Representative" in con-
nection with debt discussion, and Of
Representatives" in connection with
the proposed discussion of economic
problems, was believed by officials who
participated in the. White House con-
ference to make it clear that separate
discussions were to be conducted.

TRAPS ALLEGED Thief
Fugitive Arrested, Accused Of Rob-
bing Poor Boxes During
Night.

Creaking boards in the shadowy bell
tower of st. Patrick's Church early
yesterday betrayed fugitive, who later
was accused of robbing boxes, which
the church had set out to collect aims
for the poor.
1t was two hours before daylight

open the church for early Sunday mass.
He noticed the poor boxes had been
broken open. counting four Of them as
he moved about the big building at
Tenth and G streets
The sexton then heard noise in the
balfry high overhead, as if some one
had stepped on a loose board in the
darkness. He summoned Patrolman c.
A. Parker who climbed with drawn re-
volver into the belfry, reinforced by
early arrivals for mass.
Parker, he reported, arrested John
G. Lewis. %, of Berwyn, Md, who said
he had been in the church all night.
Lewis was said to have had on his per-
son $6.l5 in change, supposedly taken
from the boxes, and pair of pliers
and a screw driver.
He was charged with petty larceny
and probably will be given a hearing
in Police Court tomorrow.

HUEY LONG TAX PROBE
DENIED BY BURNET
Internal Revenue Chief Says Re-
port of Shadowing and Wire
Tapping Is Wholly Untrue.

BY the Associated Press.
David Burnet, head of the Internal
Revenue Bureau, gave to newspaper
men today denial that it is making
ANY special investigation" of income
and bank accounts of Senator Huey
Long Of Louisiana.
Published reports of such an inquiry
had been called to his attention by
Elmer L. Trey, chief of the intelligence
unit of the bureau, who was alleged to
be directing such an investigation.
There is not word of truth in the
statement that we are investigating any
Senator, shadowing him in any way,
tapping telephone wires or making any
special investigation of his affairs, Bur
net said
Income tax returns made by Sen
ators 60 through the same channels as
those made by other citizens. The in
telligence unit never has resorted to
illegal methods in collecting evidence
in tax cases."

Additional Copies
OF Patronage List
Stir IrOnic Debate
Suggestion Made to Buy
Them-NO Action
Taken in Senate.

The Senate debated today whether 1t
should order additional printed copies
of the so-called patronage list Of Gov.
ernment jobs that are not under Clvn
Service. or let persons asking for the
document buy copies at the Govern
ment Printing Office. No action was
taken.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat Of Ari-
zona, said it was obvious that two copies
for each Senator would be insufficient,
and inquired whether the Printing
Committee would consider ordering ad-
ditionai copies.
Senator Fletcher, Democrat Of Flor
ida, said the Printing Committee can
order reprints of documents only up to
a limit of 5000 total expense. He said,
however, he understood persons de-
string a list could buy copies at the
Government Printing Office for 40
cents
Senator Ashurst said he was glad to
have the information that copies could
be bought at the Printing Office at
that price.
Senator Hastings, Republican, of
Delaware, asked Ashurst if he did not
think it would be hardship on peo-
pie throughout the country to ask them
to pay 40 cents for a copy OF the list
to see where they might ask for posi-
ton.
Senator Ashurst said he recognized
the gentle irony" of the question, and
replied that he did not think the con-
stituents of the Senator from Della
ware would trouble him about the
matter.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa, interrupted to inquire whether
it would be advisable to amend the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
law so that people could borrow the
40 cents" The debate then turned to
a discussion of the policies Of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation and
no further mention was made Of the
non-ciWl service list.
