RAIL CONTROL
BILL DRAFTED
Congressman to Continue
Debate on Security
Bill This Week
By JOHN r. BEAL
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April Is. CUP
Senator Burton X. Wheeler, d.,
Mont, announced last night he
will introduce a bill providing
government acquisition, owner
ship and management of all the
nations railroads by a corpora
ton to be known as the United
States railways.
ALTHOUGH the liberal Montana
Democrat said he would fight for
enactment of the bill, other con-
gressional sources indicated it
had no chance whatever of pass
age this session. 1t will serve,
however, to air the subject of
government ownership of the rail-
roads because, in normal routine,
the bill would be referred to the
important interstate commerce
committee, of which Wheeler is
chairman.
The bill would:
First, Set up a federal corpora
ton acquire railroad property
either through consolidation of
; present lines with the United
States railways and an exchange
of their respective securities, or
by use of eminent domain and
payment in debentures of the
United States railways guaran-
teed by the government.
! Second, Authorize, under the
exchange provisions, debentures
equal to the present value of the
carrier securities plus contingent
securities (income bonds or pre-
ferred stock, not guaranteed by
, the government) of the United
States Railways equal to the diff
ference between present value
and estimated value on the basis
of 1880 earnings.
"These provisions have two
principal purposes" Wheeler ex'
planned. at is intended to make
it possible for the government to
acquire the property in such g
way that the fixed charges car
be borne by the present earnings
avoiding taxation; and to provide
for fair treatment of the secur'
ity holders. and not to restrict
them to payment for the value OF
their holdings at depression
prices.
The house program for thi:
week calls for conclusion of de-
bate on the economic security
bill, probably a direct vote on the
Townsend and Lundeen old age
and unemployment plans, and {
vote on the security bill itself
Next in line is the administration

menu may be - beyond the fact that
there is turkey of course and plum.
pudding probably. Christmas dinner
in its completeness is not question of
menu. but of the completeness of the
family circle. A joyous Christmas din
ner is one at which the head of the house
can count the smiling faces all around
his table Il and find none missing.
For happy Christmas it is true
that there must be the wherewithal
that supplies the dinner and the tangi-
BILE evidences that the children were
not among those forgotten by Santa
Claus. And it is unnecessary to say
that every one in the world wishes
more than anything else that Santa
Claus will not forget the address of
single child!
On this subject can't help adding
that even now it is not too late to put
check in the mail, and send it to
your clergyman or to social service
committee, or to any newspaper
which, having organized Christmas
service, will turn your gift into visit
from Santa Claus, and bring to an
otherwise forgotten little child glori-
ously Merry Christmas!

He raised the book so that the light
from the window fell full upon it. For
some reason, the lines were not as dis
tinct as they had been the last time he
looked at them. Why? Suddenly he
remembered that upon the occasion
when the lines had shown most plainly,
he had been fitting the page at an
angle so the light struck the paper
from the side. He tilted the notebook.
That was better. He looked at the ap-
pointments on the lower part of the
page. Could he make out the letters? .
Suddenly he stiffened, sensing that
someone else was in the room. He
whirled to encounter the steady, hazel
eyes of Bernice Durane.
Instinctively, as a child seeking to
hide something from its parent, Klay
thrust the book behind his back, then
realized this gave him an appearance
of startled guilt. He tried to be casual
as he slid the book, face downward, on
his desk and said to Bernice Durane,
Il prefer to have you knock when you
enter my private Office"
But she apparently didn't hear him.
Her eyes, wide and startled, we're fas-
tened upon the brown leather appoint
ment book.
Why" she exclaimed, that's Sam
Crawford's appointment book

preston in his right hand, the photo
graph Of the fingerprint in his left, and
compared them.
Even to his unframed eye, there
could be no question but that the
two prints were one and the same. He
was trapped, and the gang had sent
Captain Gregg to let him know he was
trapped!
And that appointment book was in
the drawer of his desk, hidden under
some old letters. How careless of him
to leave it there! 1t was the most
damning evidence - evidence which
would perhaps send him to the gal
lows. And by an irony of fate. it was
evidence which might go far toward
releasing the client whom he had
sworn to defend. Something had to be
done with that book. He opened the
drawer Of his desk, thrust his hand in
under the pile of letters and took out
the appointment book.
With it in his hand, he couldn't re-
sist looking once more at the faint
lines which were indented upon the
page Immediately underneath the page
which had been torn out, apparently
by Crawford's murderer. If only he
could learn with whom Crawford had
had appointments the night of the
murder!

There were a lot of people at the
party and they all smiled at Joan.
They seemed to be amused at her, but
in the incest way. She hurried so that
she was breathing fast when she
reached the study and looked for the
gift to be wrapped. She was aghast at
its size. 1t was on a chair, and it had
been clumsily and recklessly covered
with sheets of the finest and most
precious paper. She went closer,
staring.
Then the package rose up and the
wrappings fell off, and it was Nicky -

the kindest thing was to agree with
them, so Joan was in her night dress
at nine o'clock when the telephone
rang.

"It may have" Gregg admitted.
I'm what way?"
Once more Captain Gregg did not
answer the question, but countered
with another inquiry. You're a
brother of Hugh Klay?"
Yes"
81 take it you think Hugh got raw
deal?"
Il think he was framed, if that's
what you mean"
We'll" Gregg said, there are peo-
pie who agree with you - mind you,
though, I'm not talking for publica-
ton. Your brother was deputy under
Bill Saxon. and Saxon didn't click with
the machine, The gang wanted to dis
credit him. They couldn't get any
thing on Bill, himself, but they got
enough on your brother to send him to
the pen. That beat Bill for office, and
let machine man get in"
He was convicted on perjured evil
dence," Klay said calmly.
I'm not taking Sides" Captain
Gregg remarked. I'm just telling you
about the talk that's going round, not
loud talk, understand, just whispers,
and sometimes not loud enough to be
called whispers"
And what has this to do with the
Frink case?"
81 don't know" Gregg said; you
aren't exactly opening up to me, Klay.
don't like to be the one to do the
leading"
Klay shrugged his shoulders. IF
there's any leading to be done," he
said. you'll do it."
Gregg laughed. well, Crawford was
getting ready to blow the lid off. He'd
been sitting tight and watching for a
couple of years. He got a lot of print
ing from the city and more from the
county, but he'd decided things had
gone far enough. 1t took more than
printing contracts to bribe Crawford
"Well?" Klay asked, trying his best
to make his voice sound noncommittal.
well, I'm not saying Frink muir
dered him, and I'm not saying he
didn't, but the murder was a swell

hand on the knob. and said, Say, I'll
bet you and Bernice Durane would get
along like nobody's businessp'
klay was about to make some re-
tort when the door of the outer office
opened. and broad-shouldered indi-
vidual with square jaw and cold blue
eyes entered the room, ignored Rose
Tobin. and said to Klay, You're the
mar who's defending Carl Frink?"
Rose Tobin stiffened instantly, as a
wary deer tightens his muscles at the
suspicious swapping of twig
Klay flashed the girl a warning
glance, said to his visitor, is there
something l can do for you? This
young woman is just leaving"
Yes" the man said bluntly. Strid-
ing across the outer Office. through the
door to the private Office, he settled
himself into the largest of the three
rather rickety chairs.
Klay silenced the question on Rose
Tobin's lips with gesture, escorted
her to the corridor. and said, "I'll see
you later, and let me know if there are
any new Developments"
What's he want?" she asked in a
low voice.
''I'll let you know" ne interrupted,
IF there are any new developments"
She nodded, and said, Forgive me,

She sailed down the corridor, and
Klay went back to interview his visitor.
The cold. blue eyes of Klay's visitor
surveyed him appraisingly. Klay felt
he was dealing with one who was ac-
customed to putting others on the
defensive.
Pm Pete Gregg" the man said,
Captain Pete Gregg. if you want to
use the title"
Klay said, Glad to meet you, Cap
tain," and allowed his hand to be
crushed in grip as powerfully re-
morseless as the jaws of a nut-cracker.
Il came to see you about Frink."
What about him?" Klay asked.
They tell me-" Gregg said, ignor-
ing the question, that you told Rich
m"nd where to get off. and that you're
going to campaign against Helming."
Has that" Klay asked, anything

Go ahead" Klay invited. land

Captain Pete Gregg fished cigar
from his waistcoat pocket, sat back in
the chair and grinned. "I've opened"
"All the way?"
"As far as I'm going to open until
you make lead"
What did you want me to do?"
Give me the lOw-down."
''On what?"
"On the case as ) ou know it, and on
Frink's story"
Pm afraid" Klay answered slowly,
there isn't any low-down."
Captain Gregg hitched forward in
his chair and lowered his voice. Now
listen, Klay," he said, you and are
business men. I'm anxious to get at
the bottom of the murder, for various
reasons. You're anxious to get your
client acquitted. Now, Crawford was
methodical. He metered his time to
the minute, and kept book in which
he listed his appointments. Frink had
an appointment with him, but his
wasn't the only appointment Crawford
had for that night. Crawford's ap-
pointment book is missing. l think
Frink knows where it is, and, if you're
Frink's lawyer, think you know
where it is Frink tried to cover up the
fact he had an appointment with
Crawford, but it didn't do him any
good because bum tail light got him
pinched, and then the boys found the
gun that had done the shooting"
"And what do you want?" Klay
asked.
Il want that appointment book"
Klay said, "If Frink took that ap-
pointment book, it would be an indica-
ton of guilt"
That's true" Captain Gregg ad-
mitted. Nov, I'm going to open up
little more. We think someone else
may have taken some papers from
Crawford's s study. If that's the case, it
was someone who was in the house
after Frink left, and that someone
might have been the one who murdered
Crawford. Arthur Minden, Crawford's
servant, went out on an errand. Frink
probably left the house while Minden

there was someone in the room with
Crawford - someone who went out
through the window"
Klay felt the pounding of the pulse
in his neck. He tried his best to control
himself and present a poker face to
Captain Gregg.
Captain Gregg pulled back his coat;
his thick fingers explored the big in
side pocket. and brought out photo
graphic print on glossy paper, print
some four inches wide by five inches
long. 1t showed long, black streak
running across it, streak about three
inches wide and on that streak was a
series of white lines. Captain Gregg's
thick index finger pointed to the white
lines.
Now this" he said, ''is photo
graph of the bottom part of that win
dow sash. The man who was in the
room raised the window an inch or
two, then grabbed it with his hand, his
thumb on one side and the fingers on
the other. 1t was raining; the outside
was wet, and his fingerprints didn't
% stay on it, but on the inside, he left
perfect thumbprint. Now, that's what
we call latent, and we've brought it
out by spraying white powder on it"
"Well?" Klay asked, and to his own
anxious ears it seemed certain that
Captain Gregg must detect the emo
tion in his tone.
We've gone over Frink's hands,
Gregg said, land this isn't his thumb
print. Therefore we'd like to see that
appointment book"
