CHAPTER TWO


Il panic the afternoon Black
Hawk committed his first outrage,
blowing up the Federal building and
injuring many citizens. No one
knew what might happen next.
Newspaper extras. carrying ac-
counts Of the explosion, were rushed
throughout Indiana and Illinois.
Press associations carried detailed
dispatches to New York, Montreal,
San Francisco, London, Rome and
Shanghai.
Reporters had accepted Chief
Morrissey's statement that it was
probably a "black-hand" plot, and
none of them mentioned the air
plane that had lowered over the
scene, doubtless considering it a
product of frightened imaginations.
If they had known what Bob
Martyne knew, their versions Of the
story would have been much differ
ent
T ATE the preceding day Bob had
IL returned to the ancestral
Martyne home on North Meridian
street after q canter on his favorite
horse, for which he had polo aspira-
tons, to receive an urgent telephone
call.
Are you still bored with life,
Major Martyne?" the chief had
asked.
Il certainly am" Bob replied.
He understood the reference. At
an r. o. T. c. meeting some time
previously, he had begged for some
special assignment that would give
him some action"
Ava Breen had just rejected his
offer of marriage for the fifth time,
on the ground that he was a practi-
cally useless member of society. The
Breens, who had lost money in Wall
Street, had become a little too
democratic, Bob had thought; but
he loved Ava, and was willing to
prove he did.
WILL you come to Washington
wv at once?" the chief con-
tinued. AN army plane will be
waiting for you at Schoen airport"
BY nightfall he was at the Capitol,
attending a conference with several
high government officials.
Major Martyne," the chief said,
"we are troubled by a series of mys-
ferrous occurrences in the vicinity Of
indianapolis, in what is known as
the Central Indiana. You're famil-
lar with the territory; you're the
logical man to investigate"
What sort of occurrences" Bob
asked.
They have been apparently unre-
lated incidents" the chief explained
"All of them are of a kind that
tends to be dangerous and unde-
sirable. particularly in section
that is the heart Of the nation.
The first incident We connect
with this was the murder of an
army officer on leave at Frankfort
month ago. That was never ex-
planned satisfactorily TO us.
Then two airplanes were stolen
from airports in northern Indiana
and others were taken mysteriously
from airports in other states.
Where they went no one knows,
but we are unanimously of the
opinion that it was not part of an
ordinary smuggling plot. or any,
thing like that Then. three days
ago, there was that bad explosion in
the ammunition storehouSe at Fl.
Harrison, cause undetermined as
yet"
Might they be condolences"
"Wait. None of these incidents
was published in the newspapers.
But yesterday a letter was received
in Washington, addressed to the
President of the United States, and
listing them one by one.

Parker almost collapsed and unable to
speak He sobbed as Jean chung to him. Terribly
distressed, she whispered: "Darling-don'tI
Pleased" she cried, shaking him. Tarzan stood
watching, frowning a little, thoughtful-hurt
Holt glared sideways at Tarzan, lingering his gun.

TEST FOR DRUNKS
MAY Be SHELVED
Blood Examination, Proposed
for Suspected Drivers, Not
Generally Liked.

Traffic Director Van Duzer's plan to
subject suspected intoxicated automo-
bile drivers to blood test after repeal
of the eighteenth amendment probably
will be pigeon -holed by the Commis-
sioners If it is recommended for adop-
tion, it was learned yesterday at the
District Building.
Supt of Police Brown already has
voiced his objection to the proposal,
and while the Commissioners declined
to comment, it is known they feel it
would not likely meet with general
public approval.
Van Duzer, however, has not yet for
mally proposed the adoption of the
plan. He has called meeting OF
prominent physicians, psychologists and
District officials Tuesday at 10 am. to
consider the feasibility of putting 1t
into effect
Supt Brown said he would not agree
to adoption of the blood test until its
legality is definitely established. He
fears that evidence provided by such
tests would not be acceptable to the
courts.

TURNER BANS
MAT REFEREE

Following on the heels Of his
announcement to withhold the
purse Of George Zaharias for his
rough wrestling work against Jim
Mcmillan last night, Matchmaker
Joe Turner further declared today
that he has suspended Referee
Cyclone Burns for several weeks.
Says Turner:
"I figure that Referee Burns
should have disqualified Zaha-
riaS for his rough treatment Of
Mcmillan last night. I don't
mind the boys mixing it up, but
I won't stand for rOwdyism."
Mcmillan and Zaharias grap-
pied in the feature match at the
Griffith Stadium last night and
Mcmillan was having the better
of the argument until Zaharias
began kicking and punching.
The rough-and-ready Greek took
Mr.. Mcmillan through the hottest
Scrimmage he has ever expert
enced, the result finding Mcmillan
stretched out on the canvas twen-
ty-two minutes after the pair had
shaken hands.
Then Zaharias listened to the
jeers of the 1000 spectators, a
large turnout for last nights un-
seasonable weather. A few pop
bottles were tossed his way, but
the aim of the throwers was poor,
one or two barely missing their
abused idol, Mcmillan. The anger
Of the crowd failed to subside
and several threatened to take
the issue upon their own Shoul-
ders, but the gendarmes came
upon the scene and ZahariaS was
escorted to the safety Of his
dressing quarters.

TERRY ADVISES

NEW YORK, Sept. % G.N.SO.
Manager Bill Terry of the Giants,
while happy in receiving New
York's official praise and the
applause of thousands Of fans,
was a bit worried today.
No word has yet been received
from Judge K. M. Lands, COM
missioner of baseball, relative to
Terry's application to qualify
Charley Dresser. formerly man.
ager of Nashville's club, to play
in the world series. Terry is hop
ing for the best so that he will
be able to use Dresser at third
base in the event Travis Jack
sons knee gives out.
But with or without Dresser,
Terry was confident Of victory
over Washington, declaring:
"Pick the Giants to win the
world series. You would not
listen when I told you in Los
Angeles that we had a pennant
winner-but you're getting an
other chance now to call the
turn. So don't miss it. Stick
with the Giants. They'll win"

NIldLIlplOIlS!
Probably sounds most unusual
to call 'em that because it's been
so long since a pennant has been
won, but the Griffs are just that
today, and what a great kick
they're getting out of it all.
Incidentally. very few of the
present members of the Griff
roster have ever been able to get
the "feel" of being a champion,
due to the fact that it's always
been their misfortune in the past
to have played with some team
that just couldn't make the grade

Then there is Manager Joe
Cronin to head the list. His case
is even more extraordinary, as be-

Myer is another, as he appeared

and Pittsburgh Pirates, which
the latter won.
