A deeper wave of crimson went
up over Nancy's tremulous face
and her eyes sank. She averted hel
face from Pages eyes, clasping hel
hands behind her back.

peated hoarsely. "What did you
mean, Nancy?"
what I said; my-my marriage
is to be a secret"
"A ~secret?'' there was a new note
in his astonished voice. "Why?'
She recognized the note in it and
she WINGED.

Angie stopped, smiling and
flushed, and leaned on a chair,
looking at him. She liked King

his wife; she could not have ex-
planned her fear of her, but it ex-

edge of an empty serving-table.

"You know about such things.
How much is Gordon's place worth
now? I mean the house and

next to yours"
Major Lomax pushed his chair
back, felt in his pocket for his
old pipe and began to fill it care
fully.
"Near as I can figure-about

needs repairs. Why" he added,

Haddon looked absently out of

Methods of Killing

To the Editor of The Times:
Having read your column IN
Thursday's Times, I would like
to discuss "Humane's" letter IN
which he said the fox was
chased and killed in such a
slow manner.
Does he ever think when ne
eats a piece Of beefsteak that
the cow was butchered not in
stantly but probably three
quarters of an hour before 1t
died. Or how, when he eats
pork chops, the hogs throat
was cut and how it lies suffer
ing for a while before dying.
Or when he eats chicken how
its head was cut off and how it
flies or tries to fly with its
head off. Or when a fish is
caught how it lays on the bank
Smothering.
None of these animals or
fish I have mentioned is
killed instantly, and still "Hu-
name" will probably sit down
and eat, not thinking about it.

Likes the Numbers
To the Editor of The Times: l
am writing this in regard to the
numbers racket.
Did it ever come to your mind
that this So-called gambling Is
q godsend to many of the un-
employed. Did you realize that
40 per cent of the law enforcerS
as we'll as the general public
gamble on these numbers?
I am not one that plays these
numbers, but I cannot condemn
them for the simple fact that !
have yet to hear of anyone not
being paid off when they are
lucky enough to bet the right
number. There are many who
really gain food as we'll as other
comforts when they do win.
There are some who will try
to take away from the general
public a sporting chance which
is a pleasure but not a luxury.
Just few pennies may mean a
few extra dollars to help keep
the wolf from the door.
You gave the public chance
to vote for the manager OF the
Washington baseball club, why
not let them vote on the num-
bers racket. We have to work
for our money, why not let us
spend it to suit ourselves:

BOOTLEG TRADE
IN STOCK SEEN

That bootleg speculation" on
the stock market is likely to result
from drastic market control legis-
lation is predicted in letter sent
today by the brokerage firm OF
Clark, Childs and Keech to their
customers.
The letter asserts that the firm,
even before the "stock exchange
control bill' was discussed in Con-
gress, held the opinion that any
legislation tending to restrict a
free and open securities market
would work a hardship on stock
holders, investors, and spectators.
Despite this view, however, the
company letter asserts, the firm
has adjusted itself to meet the
new requirements, and will do all
possible to comply with the letter
of the restrictions.
The letter adds:
"It should be borne in mind,
however, that no restriction,
whether governmental or other
wise, and no matter how drastic,
can ever succeed in preventing
speculation. If it is prevented
in one spot it will break out in
another, and the damage of the
present situation appears to be
that a bootleg market will ap-
pear at various points under
an attractive guise."

proportions" along the Pacific

that $1,OOO,O0O ALLEGATION be

Representative Kramer added
that boys and girls of school

habit-forming drugs by under
world leaders. He limited at a

"Under present conditions, only
a handful of Federal agents are
available to combat this evil.
These men are doing splendid
work. They are doing all they
can to stamp out the traffic,
but the fact remains that it is
increasing at alarming proper

Citing the millions being spent
for highways, public works, Fed
eral buildings, seed and feed loans,
and for loans to industry, Repre-
sentative Kramer concluded:
81 think the least we can do
is to spend one million more for
the salvation of the boys and

Captivity in Washington Zoo

Captivity proved fatal yesterday for

master snake, just two days after
another of its kind expired in the
Bronx Zoo in New York Death was
apparently due to starvation. DR.. Will
liam M. Mann, director of the Zoo,
reported the local specimen had for
several weeks refused to take any
nourishment.
The deadly snake was in good con-
dition when brought here six weeks
ago as gift from Russell A. Arundel,
secretary to Senator Metcalf of Rhode
Island, the director said.
1t was understood that the only re-
naming bushmaster in captivity, re-
ported to be in the St. Louis Zoo,
although it drinks lots of water daily
is on a hunger strike. Authorities
say that unless it can be persuaded
to eat it may live only few weeks.
The one in the New York Zoo died
Thursday of pneumonia induced by a
parasitic infection. The reptile had
been. obtained by Dr. Raymond l..
Ditmars, curator, and a world au-
thority on reptiles.
Arundel had obtained the local
reptile in Trinidad after considerable
difficulty. The Central American ma
tives were afraid of the snakes be-
Fcause they are among the most deadly

BOOKER HITS BACK,
PRA|S|NG DIVIDEND
Banker Says Attack Upon
Capital Transit | Per Cent
Split Not Warranted.

The protest voiced by Peoples Coun-
sci william A. Roberts against the
per cent dividend declared by the
Capital Transit Co. last night drew a
sharp rejoinder from Y. E. Booker,
investment banker.
Instead of being of benefit to the
people of Washington, who want an
efficient transportation system" Book
er said. "such unwarranted and un-
reasonable criticism is actually most
harmful to the future development Of
the city"
Roberts, in a public statement last
week. argued that the money should
have been spent for Improvements in
the service of the merged company
instead of for dividends.
Long Statement Given.
Booker made public long financial
analysis of the transit company in re-
ply to Roberts statement, which was
characterized as "a blast of wrathful
indignation against the declaration Of
the very modest dividend"
Booker said the / per cent dividend
represented about one quarter of the
net earnings of the first year of the
merger company operations. based on
present depreciation charges. The ret
earnings were estimated at S1G00,o00.
or about 81 a share on outstanding
stock
I'm other words" he continued, "the
stockholders will get S240,000 of the
s1,0O0,000 earnings, and the remaining
s760, 900 is being held in the COM
pany's treasury for future use. Surely
this would seem to be sufficiently con-
servative to satisfy even Mr.. Roberts" "
Much Stock Controlled.
The peoples counsel. in criticising
the dollar dividend, emphasized that
some so per cent of the stock of the
transit company is owned by the
North American Co.. giant utility
holding corporation.
We'll, what of it?" replied Booker
rs the mere fact that another COM
pany owns a part of the stock any
Justification for withholding dividends
when earned? The North American
stock, in turn, is owned by thousands
of individuals who would like some
return on their investment"
Even if we agreed with Mr.. Rob-
erts that the North American Co.
should receive no dividends on its
share of the stock. would he mete out
the same punishment to several thou
sand stockholders of the old Capital
Traction Co., who now owns Capital
Transit stock?
Most of these individuals, large
number of whom are women, and
many of whom are we'll along in
years, paid slOO a share or more for
their stock and thought they were
buying a conservative investment.
For many years the stock paid a reg
ular dividend of 81 share. From
July /, 1892, to the present there was
no dividend whatever paid. he said.
