Boston, Dec 2S.-(UP)-Captain l.. Mac c. (Biff) Jones, who re- gently quit his coaching post at Louisiana State university after a tiff with Senator Huey Long, would become the highest paid coach in professional football if he accepted an offer made last night by President George Marshall of the Boston Redskins team of the National league.
 Marshall, in a statement last night. said that he wired Captain Jones an offer of $10,000 a year If he would sign for three years or more to pilot the redskins.
 Though consistently rumored, Marshalls act was the first definite indication that Lone Star Dietx present Redskins mentor, would be replaced.

MacNalley. "Flashed my light
all over it. It was empty"
Maybe I'm wrong then,"
said Anderson in a baffled tone.
''But I'm certain that Mrs.
Phelps took something that was
Of vital importance!"
And so it was. There was
the open desk, the bent hair
pin-and Mrs. Phelps safely on
her way home with the in
eliminating evidence.
And I wondered what this
woman, who called herself
Sonia Paige'S best friend, had
carried away with her and
what possible connection she
could have with the murder?
CHAPTER TX
"How about following her I'D
and demanding an explanar
tion?" I suggested.
1--WE wouldn't get any," re-
piled Anderson. "She would
deny having opened the desk
and you are not in a position to
claim that you actually saw her
do so. Besides I have sent for
Randolph Paige to come here
and he is due any second.

Well leave Mrs. Phelps until
tomorrow morning"
Here 7 am" said Carroll, en-
tering the room just in time to
overhear his name. "I dug up
some hot stuff in Washington
and I'm anxious to report"
Lets close this door," sug-
gested Anderson. "And don't
talk too loud. I'd Just as soon
we weren't overheard If there
is someone hanging around the
garden"
I fastened the library door
and we drew our chairs up
around a table in front Of the

Then said the manager,
we sort Of wondered about his
being here with Mrs. Brooks,
being a married man like he
was. Still we see lots Of
that sort Of thing here and,
Of course, we have nothing to
say as long as they pay their
bills and are respectable
"'Who is this Mrs. Brooks?'
I asked.
"'Oh, she's one of these
wealthy women around Wash
ington-got lots of them here.
Plenty of money and no hus-
bands. Her names Mrs. Louise
Brooks and she lives up on Six
teenth Street. Henri over there
can give you the exact number.
He knows her pretty well; she
asks him to serve private par
ties now and then; he's the best
waiter we have
well, the long and the short
of it is that I found out from
Henri who she was and where
she lived, and discovered that
Paige was a regular visitor
there. So I decided to pay a
call on the lady.
"She lived in one of those big
palaces, something like a cas-
tie. At first the maid wouldn't
let me in; then I told her I was
representing Mr.. Paige, of Balti-
more, on important business,
and right away I was admitted
into one Of the most sumptuouS
rooms you ever saw in all your
life. Oh, boy! That chair I sat
in, a sort of dull rose color
thing, was just like sitting on a
large marshmallow. And that
rug was like walking on wet
moss in your bare feet! Boy.

A minute or two later we
heard the hum Of her motor
going down the drive.
"Queer business" commented
Anderson. ''I wonder who was
at that window"
II wonder if Mrs. Phelps
really wanted something out Of
that desk" I said. IT saw her
turn away from it as I came
up on the porch"
Anderson gave me a swift
glance and then groaned aloud.
"Oh, Kay, why didn't you
tell me? That's the answer,
Of course. The woman wanted
something out Of that desk and
she had a good 10 minutes
with it"
"But you told me that you
had locked it" I inter-
rupted. "She couldn't have
taken anything from it."
DisguStedly Anderson walked
over to the handsome piece Of
furniture and touched the lid.
It opened quite readily. Then,
STOPPING, he picked up a
woman's hairpin from the floor.
"See," he said holding it out.
"Here's woman'S old standby.
Mrs. Phelps came here to get
something from the desk
possibly the letter Of which
Mrs. Deane has told us. Then
she got rid of us by getting
omeone-probably a confed-
crate she had with her in the
car-to simply walk up to the
window and look in. In our
absence she took whatever it
was she was after. Mac
Nalley!"
The officer promptly appeared
at the door.

and a sofa, reading a magazine.

about 40, but she was dressed

IT just had to start in with
something; so I began some
thing like this: "You under

see you for some time. He has
told me everything concerning

I know even less about it now.
Anyway she hesitated for some
time before answering me, but
finally said: I thought that I
had made my position clear to
Mr.. Paige through the man

day morning. I should be very
glad to help him by returning
it but the truth of the matter
is that it has passed out of my
possession and I do not think
that I can obtain it again."

MESSAGE
DUE ON HILL
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
President Roosevelt'S long-ex-
pected message to Congress on
foreign war debts probably will
go to Capitol Hill next week.
The message will consist mainly
of a summarization of the debt
situation. The President does not
feel that this is propitious time
to take an admonitory stand, and
at the same time he realizes that
Congress will not consider any
proposls for scaling down the
debts.
Further than this, the Presi-
dent may take cognizance of the
distressed economic state of some
of the nations owing money to
the United States, ami go on
record publicly that the whole
matter would be better shelved
for the time being.
Mr.. Roosevelt has postponed
sending the foreign debt message
as long as possible. He talked
the matter over with Secretary
of State Hull and other State De-
partment officials some time ago.
