BY W. S. Newell

EEP in the cushioned softness of .
wing chair Allan Watson sat re-
laxed. His discarded outer gar
ments, wrinkled from use, lay on .
- nearby chair. Across the room the
shaded light of a floor lamp fell
softly upon the bed where fresh clothing
light overcoat a well-tailored suit Of lounge
clothes-hAd been laid out.
At the sound of drip from recently used
shower young Watson shifted lazy gaze to
the bathroom door, then turned back to the
table at his Fight where he had placed the
contents OF his pockets
They formed little heap on the white linen
cover; bunch of keys handkerchief. note
book and pencil, penknife, a small envelope.
SIG in bills and small pile Of silver.
The young man closed his eyes and extended
his arms IN luxurious stretch With head
thrown back and slender body Strengthened. he
forced his arms above his head as far as they
would go. Suddenly at the very peak Of q
b6dy-twisting yawn he tensed to rigid immo-
bility.
The bruising pressure against the back Of
his neck was the thrust of a gun muzzle. He
had no doubt Of that. He gasped . lung filling
breath and his heart lurched upward then
steadied as q lowypitched voice directed, Keep
'em just that way, Mr. Tracy"

In silence the burglar closed the safe, spsn
the dial and pushed the dresser into p1ace, and
on the instant both men froze. The do0gheA

Prospect Of heated battle over
support of legaIzed horse race bet
ting in the state, faced members Of

evenly divided on the question. with
opponents Ct the proposed pari-
mutuel bill expected to be intro
duced in the general assembly, bas-
ing their objections almost solely on
moral grounds.
Members favorable to the measure
were countering, however, with the
argument that betting, although not
sanctioned by law, took place at all
tracks.
They're going to bet anyhow and
I don't see why We shouldn't get
revenue from it, both for our assO-
citation and the state declared one
participant in the general discus
sion among members during inter
MISSIONS.
Due to the expected argument, pre-
dictiOn on official action Of the asSo-
citation on the bill was withheld A
resolution indOrsing the measure
was expected to be introduced by
supporters Of betting, but there was
doubt whether sufficient strength
could be mustered to pass it.
In the morning session the speak
ers outlined economy measures
which had been practiced to reduce
operating budgets of county and dis
trict fairs Discussion leaders and
their subjects were U. c. Brouse
premiums; ROLAND AIDE, racing pro-

1t probably won't say then,
for it will have just heard six
long hours Of argument added
to the interminable years of
prohibition debate.
A hearing has been arranged to
allow vets to say 80 per cent beer
is nalatable and constitutional, and
drys to say it is intoxicating and
unconstitutional
But next week, maybe, the sub
committee will report to the full
committee. which then will de
termine whether to report the beer
bill
If it does, as expected, then the
measure Will be sent over to the
senate finance committee where
the same vets Will say a reasonable
tax will yield about $1,000 100000 an
nually. and the same drys will say
it will raise only fraction Of that
sum.
Vote Late 1hIS Month
And 50, some time late this month
perhaps, the senate itself will get
& chance to vote on the bill.
If the beer bill is defeated or We
toed home brewers will sigh and boil
up another batch and clean up the
old bottles. But congress will have
to go on a feVerish search for new
revenue
If the beer bill is passed with or
without benefit Of the President,
professional brewers will fire up
their boilers, buy a lot Of grain,
bottles, caps, kegs, put several thou
sand persons to work, and the fed
eral treasury will receive consider
able financial nOurishment.
Over Protest of Norris
The decision to prolong the beer
bill agony was reached over the
protest of Uncle George Norris,
the senator from Nebraska who is
chairman Of the judiciary commit
tee.
He wanted the thing studied by
the committee, and a decision
reached immediately But profess
sional drys and others had made
insistent demands for hearings.
Seven members of the commit
tee chatted about an open log fire
in their committee room Monday
forenoon, and then sat down about
their great green felt-covered table
and chatted some more.
The upshot was that the beer bill
was referred to a subcommittee.
which was instructed to hear six
hours of argument, equally divided
between vets and dryS
Legal Question Ergued
These arguments are to be con-
fined exclusively to the question of
whether or not 80 per cent beer can
be legaized while the eighteenth
amendment, which prohibits any
sort of Intoxicating liquor, remains
in the Constitution
The subcommittee is headed by
very wet senator, John Blaine
CRep. Wis., who already is con-
WINGED that 80 per cent beer is per-
fectly legal.
Also on Senator Blaine's commit
tee is William E. Borah, who's as
dry as Blaine is wet.
