Little a hard man to beat back.

But golf is a different game-en-

AS seniors in 1885 the Stanford

this range there seems to be nothing
coming up on the coast capable OF
stopping them. Southern California

EnmeShed
As Wilbur Renton hung up the
receiver in his bachelor apartment
Just across the street from the
Vance penthouse, after calling
Betty Potter. q puzzled frown fur
rowed his usually placid features.
I Old black Suky's voice had
been terrified when she told him
/ that Miss Betty had already LETT
with q police inspector.
He cursed himself roundly for
having delayed for the time that
it took him to take that shower,
after the police sergeant had fin
ished his queer questioning. 1t
he had called Betty at once he
might have caught her in time. 1t
was terribly important that she
should know just what statement
he had made to the police. so that
she could back him up in it.
He went over it again mentally.
He had told the sergeant that he
had been at home and in bed
asleep at IL. when as a matter
Of act he had been at Betty's
apartment-and the devil Of it
was that her place was in the
same building with Vane's.
Another memory Smote him
with the force Of a physical blow
He had lost his head there and
had threatened ISobel Vane. God
knows he hated her. and had
meant every word he had said
none the less. he felt a sense OF
relief that only Betty had heard
his outburst, and he felt that he
could count IN her loyalty for the
sake of their past intimacy.
On a sudden impulse he took
up the phone again and gave the
number Of her office. He would
brave her certain wrath in order
to reach her at once. She hated
to have social calls at her office
and had made it plain that they
were most unwelcome.

voice: "I'll try and find out. "

AS the small dapper figure
crossed the hallway to the main

NEW D. c. BILL
NEAR REVISION

Seeking immediate passage OF
proposed legislation to enlarge the
powers of the Commissioners,
District officials today began
pruning the measure to remove
all controversial issues before
sending it to Congress.
The principal objections against
the bill are the provisions giving
the Commissioners power over
the Board of Education and board
of trustees of the Public Library.
AS originally written the bill
was an organic act stating all Of
the powers of the Commissioners.
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman, who will direct the re-
drafting of the measure, stated
that it will be changed so that it
merely adds to the duties and
present powers of the Commits
SionerS.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
said the order to revise the bill
was given so that the measure
could be presented to Congress
without serious opposition from
civic groups. He stated:
"If we had kept the cOntrO-
verSial features, we probably
would have received no such
legislation this session."

LAUREL DIVIDED
ON SUNDAY
MOVIES

LAUREL, Md, April 17.-Sun'
day movies threaten to split
Laurel into two hostile camps,
with climax in the fight ex-
pected at the next town council
meeting in three weeks.
At that time the council will
be asked to decide whether to
authorize a special election to
vote on Sunday movies or to wait
until the general election next
year.
Movie promoters have volun-
teered to pay the cost of such a
referendum. When the issue was
put up to Town Solicitor Ogle
Marbury, however, he ruled that
the town must pay the cost OF
the vote, and that it can be held,
under the Prince Georges Sunday
movies law adopted last year, at
either a special or general elec-
ton in the discretion of the
council.
His decision is said to leave
the matter directly up to the
council, which faces on the one
hand the opposition of church
groups and on the other the pleas
of theater promoters.
The power of the same county
law has been used in Mt Rainier
and Hyattsville, where movies
are now presented.

The charges that Mr.. Smith
was a double crosser" appeared
in a letter introduced in evi-
dence. It was from S. H. Val
lance, an associate of Princes,
to williams Burden, another as
sociate. Dated August 9, 1888,
1t said:
"It looks to me that Smith
told Cord about the block Of

the purchase through an inter
mediary. If it is true it is GER

Alas and alack, however, for Ed
