sir. expect him home at any time
now"
Have him call me-" Wilson di-
rected, leaving his number.
Wilson, out Of his vast experience
in criminal cases, had perfected a
certain technique. This technique
brought him success in cases in
which other men had failed, and
sometimes resulted in the solution
of an almost perfect crime.
His secret was this: Hard work
and plenty of it. He went over
every detail of a case, and worked
out every possibility He never let
a single angle go without investiga-
ton until the case was broken"
TINE reason he wanted to talk
Il with DR.. st. George was a SIM
pie one. There was a book about
explosives he wanted to study, and
he had been unable to get it from
the public library.
1t was one, apparently. that had
been marked up on one Of the cards
that had disappeared the day Mr.
Breen did And the only person
the librarian could refer him to, as
possibly having another copy in his
library, was DR.. st. George.
A few minutes later a call came
for Wilson. The voice said it was
Lionel st. George
Il just got in" he said. What
can I do for you?"
L need some information"
Come right out to my house,
the voice suggested. Il will wait
for you"
Wilson thanked him and agreed.
Outside the postoffice he met Ava
and offered to take her back down
town if she would come to St
Georges and wait for him. She
agreed, anxious to learn if there had
been any news about Bob.
DOB tugged at the rope that
ID bound his wrists. He had been
working on it steadily now for a
long time, and it felt loose. Foot
steps sounded outside the door Des-
perate, he gave a final tug, and his
hands were free!
The Whisperer was in a state of
extreme excitement. Closing the
door quickly behind him, he hurried
toward Bob. He did not even bother
to retain his pose Of age.
I'VE are going on a Journey" he
whispered
Bob held his hands as if they were
still tied. He had no way of know
ing how many of Black Hawks men
were in the force that was holding
st. Georges laboratory Later there
might be an opportunity to do some
thing.
The Whisperer cut the rope that
bound Bob to the upright, and Bob
leaned forward.
Through the slit in the curtain he
saw something that made his heart
leap.
Wilson, accompanied by Sergeant
Brown and Ava, were going up the
walk toward st. Georges front door
right into the camp of Black
Hawk.
What could he do? He couldn't
shout a warning; even if his mouth
had been free, his voice might not
have reached them.
II
before the trio reached the
ID door of st. Georges house Ava
gave little cry.
A closed automobile came out Of
the driveway, leading from ST.
Georges laboratory to the street
with man in goggles and grey felt
hat at the wheel. So far as they
could tell he was alone in the car.
That man." gasped Ava.
Whats the matter?" Wilson
asked.
There's something funny about
that man." Ava replied. L don't
believe he's real state trooper at
ALL"
Brown snapped his fingers.
You're right" he cried That
hat is the wrong color"

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

DOE MARITIME, without 1000
- since he was taken prisoner,
found that he could make little
progress in getting free Of his bonds.
A disquieting belief was creeping
into his brain, as he studied the
sounds that penetrated his prison.
They were so similar to sounds he
customarily heard in his own home
that he had decided he must be
close to livery close indeed
He felt it urgently necessary to
discover just where he was, and to
do that ne must get to one of the
windows.
The Whisperers who bound him.
however were most expert in their
work. Not only was he tied hand
and foot. and gagged in an efficient
manner. but he was tied to an up
right. The rope which bound him
was heavy and strong, and not Of
a sort that would fray easily.
Nevertheless Bob kept working at
it on the principle that if he didn't
wear holes in his wrists and ankles,
he would wear holes in the rope.
The most he had achieved, after
many hours work, was a certain
freedom which made it possible for
him to lean forward a few inches.
WITH this freedom Bob was
w able to see through a narrow
chink that had been accidentally
left in the covering Of one window.
A street light gave some illumina-
ton. but even then Bob found it
hard to distinguish exactly what he
was looking at.
Then he discovered that there
was a narrow strip Of lawn, and a
stone walk. Something about that
walk was familiar to him. even
though he could see only a minute
section of it.
In a flash recollection came to
him. That walk was in front Of the
home of his neighbOr, Lionel st.
George Bob was, as nearly as he
could figure it, in the laboratory
building attached to st. Georges
residence.
Had Black Hawk captured st.
George-or killed him.so he might
use the scientists vast knowledge
in his destructive work?
That he could be held prisoner in
a building in the heart of Indian
apOlis within a stones throw of the
residences of the city's wealthieSt
and most prominent people, amazed
Bob. More than that it taught him
how great was the power of Black
Hawk, and what risks the maniac
was willing to take.
XXTHAT Bob did not know was
w this The first thing Satur-
day morning Special Agent Wilson
had called the home of Lionel st.
George and asked to speak to him.
Wilson had been informed that

previous evening.

MEASURE NOW

SIGNATURE
Chief Feature Is Reorganlza-
ton Powers Conferred
on New President

The conference report on the
$500 100000 Treasury Postoffice
appropriation bill, which gives
almost unlimited authority tc
President-elect Roosevelt to re
organize Government agencies
and continues for another year
the majority of the provisions Of
the economy act, including the
S1-3 per cent payless furlough
for Federal employees, was ap
proved by the Senate today.
AS the report already has been
approved by the House, the Treas
ury-Postoffice bill goes imme
diately to the President for his
signature.
Ends Long Controversy
The report was the result OF
many days of controversy be
tween the House and Senate con
ferees on Senate amendments tc
the bill, which included many
economy recommendations.
One of the Senate amend
ments rejected by the conferees
whose action was sustained by
the Senate today, was the Brat
ton amendment, which would
have directed executive officers
of the Government to reduce
their 1884 expenditures by S per
cent.
The report also recommended
against the Senate amendment
lifting the ban on automatic pro
motions.
Outstanding Provisions
The outstanding provisions o1
the report are the reorganization
plan which permits President
elect Roosevelt to consolidate OF
abolish executive agencies,
provision for abolition of the
Bureau of Efficiency and a COM
promise on a Senate proposal tc
srtike out $19,0OO,O00 for air mail
subsidy.
The compromise resulted ir
having the air mail subsidy re.
duced to $15,O00,00O which will
necessitate abandonment of many
air lines now engaged in pass
enger and air mail transporta
ton.
Provisions also are made to re-
duce by 81-3 per cent the
salaries of enlisted men that ex
ceed $1,000.

JOB PROVIDERS
WORK On PLAN

The District Committee on Job
Assignments has approved a
plan calling for expenditure of
$4,000 and providing work for
an average of 1000 men a day.
The work to be done includes
numerous improvement projects,
the largest of which will be the
digging of a drain in Anacostia
Park to protect against overflow
of Lake Kingman.
Capt. Howard F. Clark, as
sistant engineer Commissioner,
who is head of the organization,
also appointed a subcommittee to
work out a plan of staggering"

FACE TRIAL

T. Morris Wampler, prominent
attorney, must be removed to
Baltimore to face an indictment
charging him with evasion of in
come taxes, Justice Daniel w.
O'Donoghue ruled in District Su-
preme Court today. A writ of
habeas corpus also was dismissed
by the justice.
Through William E. Leahy, his
attorney, Wampler noted an ap-
peal from the order dismissing
the habeas corpus writ. He will
be allowed to remain at liberty
pending the outcome of his ap-
peal, which probably will not be
reached by the Court of Appeals
for several months.

An investigation was under way
today to determine what prisoner
abused the hospitality of Police
Court yesterday and. brought a
half-gallon jug of liquor into the
prisoners dock.
It seems that quite a number
of "the boys" were in the dock.
waiting to be tried for intoxlca-
\ tion, disorder and kindred Of
lenses. One by one, they went out
to face Judge Gus A. Schuldt.
The manner in which the pris-
oners faced the judge aroused his
suspicious. He detailed a bailiff
to Investigate the prisoners dock.
In the dock a dozen or more OF
the boys, feeling exceedingly
happy, were found spinning an
empty half-gallon jug on the
floor and betting which way it
would fall.

what the judge wants to know,
and in order to find out, he had

Need Not Rise to
Salute Flag

It is not necessary for those
sitting in the stands at the
inaugural parade to rise and
salute every time the national
flag passes by, the United states
Flag Association announced to-

D. {. PUTS CURB
ON SPEED Of
RESCUERS
AmbuIances, Other Emergency
Vehicles Limited to 80
Miles An Hour

Emergency vehicles, excepting
fire trucks and engines, will be
limited to a speed of 80 miles an
hour under a regulation approved
today by the District Commission
ers.
The regulation, drawn by Cor
poration Counsel William w. Bride
at the request Of the Commis
sioners, provides:
apparatus and vehicles OF
the police department and of
the rescue squad of the fire
department and ambulances
shall not be operated on any
public highway in the District
at a rate of speed greater than
80 miles per hour.
RED LIGHT CAUTION
"When responding to alarms
of fire or emergency calls, ap-
paratus and vehicles of the fire
and police departments and am
balances approaching an inter-
section patrOlled by traffic
lights may proceed on the red
light; provided that the
vehicles shall first come to
complete stop and shall not en-
ter or cross said intersection un-
til a crossing can be safely made
without interfering with traf-
fic."
FIRE SPEED STANDS
Fire department apparatus, eX-
cept the rescue squad, is not in
cluded in the new rule because It's
speed is already limited by orders
of Chief George S. Watson.
The new ruling further forbids
the use of sirens or other noise
making devices except in cases oil
absolute necessity.
The change in the regulation
was made as the outgrowth of an
accident Monday night in which
a three-year-old child was killed
when an ambulance struck the
car in which he was riding.

BINGHAM SAVES
S36,900,000
D. {. BILL
Obtains Consent of Conferees
In House to Discuss
Increases Today

Defeat of the $36,9OO,OOO Dis
trict appropriation bill for 1884
because of difficulty in obtaining
action in the remaining hours of
the present session was narrowly
averted shortly after noon today
and it is believed the supply
measure will be sent to the Pres
ident by tomorrow noon.
Following passage of the bill
by the Senate today, Senator
Hiram Bingham (RD of Con-
necticut, chairman of the Dis
trict subcommittee of the Senate
Appropriations Committee and
chairman of the Senate con-
ferees, invited House conferees
to an immediate meeting. They
refused to meet before S o'clock,
if then, saying that their duties
in the House necessitated their
presence.
Meet at 2 O'clock
Senator Bingham then went to
the House and after an hours
persuasion obtained an agreement
to meet at 2 o'clock and continue
in session until an agreement
was reached on the many in
creases made in the bill by the
Senate.
It is reported that the conferees
of both houses have a tacit I'm.
derstanding to reach halfway
agreement, with the exception,
probably, Of the Senate's increase
in the Federal lump sum contri-
button.
The Senate increased the House
amount from $6,5O0,0O0 to $780,
600. Conferees are expected to
agree on the same amount which
is now in effect, of $7,775,000.
Not All Affected
All of the increases made by
the Senate probably will not be
affected, but additional appro
priations suggested by the Senate
for street paving will probably be
reduced in conference to balance
House concessions.
If an agreement is reached, as
expected, the report of the con-
ferees will be take up in the Sen
ate and House before noon to-
morrow when the present term OF
Congress expires.
The House conferees are Repre-
sentatives Clarence Cannon CD
of Missouri, Thomas L. Blanton
(DD Of Texas, William j. Gran
field CD of Massachusetts,, Viii
liam P. Holiday (RD of Illinois
and Robert G. Simmons (R) OF
Nebraska.
All House conferees are mem
bers of the subcommittee which
wrote the bill. Simmons objected
to the majority report, and made
one especially on behalf of the
minority. Holiday led the fight
on the House floor to restore
many items left out by the House
committee.
COnferees Are Named
Following adoption of the
amended bill, Vice President Cur
tbs named as conferees Senator
Bingham (RO of Connecticut,
Senator Capper (R.) of Kansas,
Senator Nye (R) of North Da-
kota, Senator Steiwer (R.) of Ore
gon, Senator Copeland (D) of
New York, Senator Glass CD of
Virginia, and Senator Kendrick
OO of Oklahoma.
Among the increases made by
the Senate is the provision for a
$9,500,000 Federal lump sum con-
tribution instead of the item of
$6,500,000 fixed by the House.
Other Senate increases bring
the bill to within slightly more
than 100000 of the budget esti-
mates and almost $4,000, 900 above
the amount set by the House.
