the peculiar necessity of defend
ing the acts of former Republican
government officials, including
former President Hoover, former
Treasury Secretaries ogden L.
Mills and Andrew w. Mellon, and
DR.. Julius Klein, former Assistant
Secretary of Commerce.
They found themselves in this
predicament when j. K. M. Barry,
of Washington, an ousted $60-a-
week clerk, brought suit for $10,-
$4,000 in the U. S. Court Of
Claims. He was dismissed in
1929.

tary Mills appropriated to their
use certain of his ideas and infor-
nation" calculated to assist the
county toward recovery.
He also asks for recovery Of sal

about $20,400. He contends as

burse him to the extent of $4,000
for the loss of $4,000 each on two
Capital properties he claims he
lost when mortgages were fore
closed because of his inability to
meet his obligations.
Barry declares he sent Hoover
certain observations on the causes
of business failures and two copy

The suggestions, he said. were &C
knowledged by Mills, then Under

sudden the captive set up a new
battle that interrupted proceedings.

hook to the jaw that sent Otto
reeling back.
But they subdued him. Helen

The telephone tangled. Everyone
stiffened. CULLEN, at a nod from
Otto, rose and went to the instru-
ment.
"Hello." His eyes swerved sud-
denly to Colwell, lifted to Graber.
"Mr. Colwell? Never heard the
name. Just a minute, please"
Respiration increased on his
face. Lefty looked shocked. "Say
he knows Colwell's here and it
urgent. He's coming up!"
Otto gaped, nonplussed. He
seemed wholly unable to guess who
was at the other end of the wire.
He climbed off ColwelL and ges-
tured for him to rise. Dan did,

Lefty growled into the telephone,

He handed Dan the instrument.
The black looks on their faces and
the warning gestures told Colwell

Graber held Dams automatic, Quill
len held his own and the bread
knife, and Helen, her wsvy brown
hair in disarray, looked hateful as
she gripped a snub-nosed thirty
eight.

visiting some friends. You're down

Dan shrugged. "How should
know"
How come Deane knew you'd
be here?"
Colwell grinned as best he could.
II told him."
Both men gulped. "Put him off.
Send him away!" snarled Otto.
Dan shook his head. "You know
how Harry is. Crash in anywhere.
And he says it's important, that
he's got to see me-"
They still were dazed at this
turn. Awed. Uncertain whether
they were going to be forced to let
Colwell go, or if they did 50,
whether it would mean the strong
arm Of the law bent around them.
'I'm kind of anxious to beat it"
Dan admitted. IF Deane comes up
you'll have to let me go, and you'll
land in trouble if I tell what you We
just tried to do. Kill me now and
you're pinched. But if l walk out
of here l swear I'll not breathe a
word of you fellows torturing me. %
Seconds licked past. For once
the re%sourceful Graber could think
of nothing. He fairly slobbered
with savagery. But his slow nod
proved that he considered Colwell's
trick fireproof.
Harry? I'll come on down. No,

and forced a cheerful tone he by no

He placed the instrument on its

GRADER was beside himself, chang
ing color every second. Lefty's face
was blotched and he kept working
his big paws convulsively. In the
flaming eyes of the girl Dan
thought he read a certain grudging
admiration.
Meticulously Colwell straighten-
ed his wrinkled and torn clothing.
Two buttons were gone from his
shirt but he managed to hide their
loss. He picked up his topcoat
and hat, damned the latter on his
head, and put a hand on the door

be stabbed. AS an after-thought
he stepped across to Graber and
held out his hand for his automatic.

knuckles shone white.

"You got a bread knife around

to the kitchenette. She returned
with a cleaning bread knife with
saw edges. Graber squinted. "Put

and then maybe he'll talk.
Colwell struck out. His fists
tilted Otto's wide chin and brought
a crash of teeth. But before Dan
could whirl Quillen's weight was
on him and bore him struggling to
the floor. Graber recovered with
surprising, suddenness for a man
with his soft look. The three rolled
and threshed wildly, kicking chairs,
hurting into an end table to send
its lamp to the floor where it shat
tered in a thousand bits.
The pair climbed off gingerly.
Colwell, dazed by a blow on his
temple, had been unable to snatch
a gun. He sat up with both palms
clasped to his head.

cruelty as he rescued the knife. The

Says:

Yes, sir, J. Edgar Hoover is
back on the front pages with the
sensational capture of those five
ALLEGED international bond thieves
With this Hoover on the job,
the crooks can rest assured
that, at least, prosecution is just
around the corner.
From all appearances, Edgar
IS fast becoming the miracle
man in the law enforcement
business. Seems like every
thing he puts his hands on
turns to guilt.
And just in order to make
sure that none of his COnvic-
tiOns gets out before his time, he
sends practically every one of
them to the famous AlcatraZ
prison. Now, there's a young
fellow who certainly believes in
putting all his yeggs in one Bias
tile.

BUS ROUTE

Request of Monroe Street North

Transit Company bus line running
along the street be rerouted was
under consideration today by the
Public Utilities Commission fol
lowing an all-day session yesterday
at which groups of Brookland
residents aired their views over
the neighborhood row.
Richmond B. Keech, acting
chairman of the commission, said
he was unable to tell how soon a
decision would be reached. The
commission last March turned
down a similar plea made by the
Monroe Street residents.
The requested that the west
bound operation of the BUSES be
taken off Monroe Street ond
routed either over Newton or Law
renee Streets. Newton Street resi-
dents are opposed to running the
buses along their thoroughfare
and the Capital Transit Company
urged the present routing be re-
tanned.
Results Of a card QUESTIONABLE
conducted by the company were
given the commission and revealed
that of 312 cards returned. 189
favored the present routing, 1T
opposed it and six gave no prefer
ence. The cards stated if a
change were to be made, 1872 fav-
ored Newton Street, and lis voted
for Lawrence Street. The results
were given the commission by Will
