SILK WORKERS WALK OUT.
Union Men Say Paterson Strike Will

PATERSON. N. j., August 81 (P-
Several hundred silk workers walked
out today in a strike which union lead
ers say will ultimately involve 10000
persons throughout the country.
Strike leaders said they would be
unable to estimate the strikers num-
bers until later in the day, but ex-
pressed the belief this city's 1000 silk
employees would eventually join the
Walkout.
In the walkout union leaders ignored
the appeal of President Roosevelt S

they maintain a status quo and refer
their differences to the national board :,

should become a part Of the appropria-
ton act for 1884.
When the bill was under considera-
tion in the House, Chairman James P.
Buchanan of the Appropriations Com
mittee offered amendments which car
ried an appropriation of 81 500, 900 from
the gasoline tax fund to be allocated
for such projects and purposes and
such amounts as the director Of the
Bureau of the Budget approved. and
also an amendment carrying an appro-
priation of s635,000 to be taken from
the revenues of the Water Department
for additional extension. improvement
and repair of the water distribution
system.
Both the Senate and the House
recognized that in completing the
projects work would be furnished to
the unemployed.
Formal Application Made.
"The Commissioners of the District
of Columbia have made formal applica-
ton to the director of the budget for
his approval of the expenditure OF these
funds, including s575,0C0 for beginning
construction of the new Calvert Street
Bridge and $500, 900 for Water Depart
ment work.
unfortunately no action has been
taken by the director Of the budget. AS
a result, the Water Department OF the
District on July of this year was COM
PEELED to drop 456 employees from the
payroll due to lack of appropriations;
If the director of the budget approved
the expenditure of the s502,000 re-
uuested by the Commissioners, these
456 men could be put back on the pay
roll at once. If he should not approve,
these men would be unemployed, and
they and their families will constitute
an additional burden upon the unem-
ployment fund which has been pro-
vided for the District. Unless the d.
rector Of the Bureau of the Budget
gives approval for the expenditure OF
the $1,000, ,00c from the gasoline FUND,
particularly that part for street main
tenance. amounting to 100000. the
District of Columbia will be compelled
to discharge $50 employees ON Aug
ust 16."
Senator King said he had been ad-
vised there are approximately 40,OoO
persons in the District who are reclpl-
ents of a relief fund and that there is
a weekly expenditure for relief OF more
than $4,000. (The figures have in
creased materially since Senator King
wrote his memorandum).
Can't Understand Motive.
81 am unable to comprehend the rea-
son for the attitude OF the director Of
the budget" continued Senator King
regarding these funds which belong to
the people of the District of Columbia
and not to the National Government.
Even after the expenditure OF the
81, 100000 from the gasoline fund
and the $500, 900 from the wafer rev.
enues, substantial balances will then
remain to the credit of both these
funds. If the Federal Treasury were to
be called upon to meet the cost of these
improvements, different question
would be presented. The refusal to util-
ize these two funds which belong to the
District of Columbia. obviously will in
crease the burdens of the Federal Gov
ernment. Because of the serious unem-
ployment situation in the District, larger
demands will be made upon the Federal
relief fund"

ITO you think it is wise to do

"They may kill you"
There is a chance I may kill
Black Hawk. And I think the
chance is worth the gamble"
Wilson and Sergeant Brown
looked at each other and shook
their heads.

action. Then, with Wilson's assist

RED his service revolver in a hip
holster. In addition to this he car
ried a smaller gun in a holster I'M
der his coat.
The third precaution was arranged
by Wilson, who gave Bob a tiny
pistol, made in the shape of a
fountain pen, which would shoot
four deadly gas pellets-each capa-
BILE of overcoming every one in a
large room.
This is one I have carried several
years" Wilson explained. You

the gas, while the others are over

these pills in the cap Of the pen.
They act as antidotes to the gas

One other precaution Bob took.
He took from his pocket little red
notebook.
This contains some invaluable
information" he said. You may
know what it is. 1 am going to
lock 1t in the safe. Wilson, you
keep the key to it.
Bob put the book in the safe,
locked the compartment, and gave
the key to Wilson.
DEFORE taking the steps he be-
~ Heved would result in his being
kidnapped, and thus taken to Black
Hawk and Ava. Bob visited Beau
mont in the hospital. He not only
owed him the call, but Beaumont
might be able to give him some
helpful information.
The poet was recovering and was
anxious to get out of bed at once.
But he was able to tell Bob nothing
new.
Bob told Beaumont about the ra-
dio operators receiving the cryptic
Mana Rosi Kater-lini Ava Breen."
"We think maybe that was the
signal for her kidnapping" Bob con-
tinued.
Beaumont was staring at the cell

Would you mind writing it down

To humor him, Bob obeyed, and
then hurried away for fear of tir-

continued to repeat the Syllables
over and over to himself, sometimes
nodding as if he knew their mean

DOB had been aware. ever since
II Black Hawks activities had be-
gun, that he was occasionally fol-
lowed by figures who tried to hide
every time he faced about.
Again and again Bob had set
traps for them, but always they had
escaped-only to resume the trail
later. Nowhere in the underworld,
so far as Bob knew, were there
shadows as expert as these-nor in
any police department. Yet their
their presence was a fact.
And now he was going to turn
them to his own advantage-if
Black Hawk fell for his bait, and
took him to Ava.
For, once in Black Hawks camp,
he would pin everything-his very
life-on reScuing Ava or killing the
Phantom of Indiana.
Making the work Of his shadows
as easy as possible, Bob drove slow
ly across town and up Delaware
street.
He turned and drove into River
side park and left his car on side
driveway. Then he began an aim
less stroll through the most I'M
frequented part.
DOB was wondering just how good
~ decoy he would make when
an automobile passed on the drive
way. It went ahead of him some
distance, as If to reconnoiter. Then
it stopped.
A man got out and came toward
Bob. He appeared ready to flee if
Bob made any overt move.
When Bob disregarded him, he
dropped a piece of paper on the
walk, and then returned to the car.
Bob passed the paper as if he
hadn't seen it, then returned leisure
ly and picked it up. 1t read:
IF you want to see Ava before
she dies, enter the next car that
passes, and make no troubled"
Bob put the paper in his pocket,
and walked on.
A few seconds later car ap-
peared on the road behind him. He
recognized his own car, the sedan
he had left on entering the park.
But it had different license num-
ber-New York plates.
A stranger was at the wheel. He
stopped, and motioned to the rear
door. Bob opened it.
He was pushed into the car by
some one who had been standing in
the shrubbery unknown to him. In
side the car, with drawn curtains
hiding them, some one eXpertly tied
his wrists and ankles, and put a
gag in his mouth. Then he was
blindfolded and forced to the
floor.

w been thinking over the Black
Hawk case ceaselessly during his
long hours in the hospital
He recalled that night at the
Breen home, when he had been
taken behind the scenes for the
first time. He recalled what he
had read in the newspapers.
And then he recounted to himself
what Major Martyne had told him
about the mysterious radio mes
sage, and his own adventure with
the men at Dolly's sanctuary on
Central avenue.
He thought over and over the &C
tons of those men and the way
they spoke. And grimness showed
on the poets wan face then-for he
felt sure he had solved the mystery.
His wound did not pain any more.
The doctor had said he ought to
stay in bed another day, but that
would not do At any moment the
maniac-this mad degenerate call
ing himself Black Hawk-might
blow Indianapolis and all the CEN
trail Indiana region to atoms. He
had the power to do it, and he was
awaiting merely the whim.
Beaumont got out of bed and, as
quietly as possible, began dressing.

The Bank Of Columbia was the second bank
ever chartered by the General Assembly Of
Maryland. At first 1t was located in Langs
Hotel, situated on Bridge (M street, near
High (Thirtysecond) street. Later, in 1904.
a building was begun on the north side Of
Bridge (AD street. near Frederick CThirty-

completed in 1907. at cost Of over twenty
thousand dollars In gold. The front steps
were made Of Maryland freestone. Originally
the iron balustrade over the. front portico was
