SENATE APPROVES
JOBLESS CENSUS
Passes Black Bill After
President Exhibits
WiIIinuness.

Without record vote, the Senate
yesterday passed the Black bill pro-
viding for q thorough census of the
unemployed-a measure which ap-
parently has the administration ap-
proval despite the previous reluctance
of President Roosevelt to acknowledge
that such a count is essential TO eff
cient administration of relief funds.
The evidence of the Presidents
present willingness to accept the pro-
posal was presented to the Senate In
the form Of a letter from Works Prog
ress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins,
who said that, while it was not needed
by the w. P. A. he felt sure such
census would be of utmost value TO
many agencies whose chief function
Is that of stabilizing employment"
Cost May Reach S. 900 900.
Senator Black, Democrat, of Ala
bama and Senator Byrnes, Democrat,
Of South Carolina, who have been in
terested in the proposed legislation
estimated the cost of census would be
around s4.600,000 or s5,000,000. and
that the results would be available
next April.
AS introduced, the Black bill pro-
Vided for a census of the employed
as well as the unemployed but as re-
ported by the Labor Committee and
passed by the Senate, it would au-
thorlze a count of only the partially
employed and unemployed"
The bill further provides that the
method and extent of the census to
be undertaken shall be determined by
committee consisting of Secretary
OF Commerce Roper, Secretary of La
Dor Perkins, Administrator Hopkins,
A. j. Atmeyer. chairman of the So
cial Security Board; Stewart A. Rice
chairman Of the Central Statistical
Board, and William l.. Austin, director
Of the census
Clark Criticizes Plan.
Acceptance of the proposal came
after perfunctory debate in which
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri
criticized the plan as inferior to sew
eral of the census proposals which
have been advanced. Like many of
his colleagues, however. he said 1t was
better than nothing.
A similar view was indicated by
Senators Bridges of New Hampshire
and Lodge Of Massachusetts, both Re
publicans. The former called the
Senate's attention to Senator Lodges
oll' authorizing registration of the
unemployed by the use of the postal
service. This method, it has been
contended, would get the real figures
OF the unemployed without the delay
attending a house toulouse canvass
and without the expense of maintain
ing an army of enumerators.

House Group Is Expected to

Appropriation.

With the City of Baltimore disas-

take quick action on the third de-
ficiency bill carrying $4,000 to start
an investigation of the need for ra-
do on vessels plying inland waters.
The Federal Communications Com
mission awaits only the money to go
ahead with the inquiry which Con-
gress ordered last Spring, months be-
fore fire leveled the radiolesS City

of three at the mouth of the PatapS-

On the heels of the bay boat trag-
edy, Senator Copeland Democrat, of
New York urged Congress to adopt
immediate legislation requiring ra-
dios on all stable vessels on rivers

Copeland sponsored the law enacted
in May setting up a similar require

Meanwhile, the Commerce Depart
ment sped its study of the practi-
cability of ordering installation of
radios or radiophoneS on all ships
operating on bays, lakes and harbors.
1t was indicated that if either is made
mandatory, it probably will be the

Great Lakes shipping complained,
Webster recalled.
Out Of the arguments stated in
favor OF the exemptions came the
resolution asking for the F. c. c. in

be used only to begin the investigation.
It is planned to provide larger sums

ing and wcll-built communal
house it must have been, he had
decided, for the adobe was Of
fine quality, evidently the work
OF master builders.
But Professor Shaw did not
have time to stand incoming over

Their significance for him and the
hours were all too short in which
to prove this thing of which he
had been so sure. Once more he
went over as much of the room
as he could without moving any
thing, examining every inch of
the walls and floor. The search
was unrewarded.
He paused before that blank
space and looked at it thought
fully. Was there any reason why
three sides of the room should be
filled and nothing placed against
that particular wall? Throwing
the yellow beam of his light
against its edges, he pecred at the
wall closely, but, so far as he
could see. the parts fitted togcth-
cr so closely it was apparent that
it had never been moved. Careful
~ he tapped the wall, listening in
tently for evidence of a hollow
beyond.
Just as he was about to give up
he detected difference in the
sound. and eagerly he compared
its location with the notes in his
book. He was right then, after
all. There was hollow space
behind that wall - a space he
could almost outline, now that he
knew it was there. i

whose devoted slave he had been?
The members of the group who
were left, discussed this as they
gathered in the living room, as
though for mutual protection.
Even de- Forests violent attitude
Of the day before seemed to have
exhausted itself,
After lunch Professor Shaw an
nounced that he was going to do
some studying, and, since his host
did not offer any objection, he
went to his room and closed the
door. Methodically he unlocked Il
desk and took out small black
notebook. This he put into his
pocket, along with n tape measure
rolled into n round metal holder.
After waiting Il moment he walk
cd to the door.
The corridor outside was emp
ty, and 4 low hum of conversation
came from the living room. The
professor stepped out into the
corridor and shut the door sound
lessly behind him. Then he made
his way down the hall until he
was opposite the door with the
lions head knocker.
Looking carefully about, he
took a key from his pocket and
slipped it into tho lock. In a min
ute the door opened and he was
standing at the top of long
flight of adobe steps. He closed
the door carefully and, turning
on a small pocket flashlight, went
slowly down into the darkness be-
low.
1t was very long stairway, as
he had expected it would be. The
measurements he had made from
the outside of the house had told
him that the hacienda was built
on more than a trace Of the old
Indian pueblo. There were many
feet left Of the ancient structure,
so the basement Of the house was
probably much deeper than it
would have been il its walls had
been Of modern construction.
AT last he stood in what APP
pcarcd TO be an ordinary storage
room. 4 great many boxes and
barrels were arranged in neat
piles around three sides, leaving
one wall clear.
The professor eyed this vacant
space with some interest, but
there seemed to be nothing UNI
usual about it. He ran his hand
over the surface and got pain
full splinter in one finger for his
curiosity. Then he turned his
attention to the floor, tapping it
here and there. Apparently 1t,
too, was of solid material with
nothing unusual in its constuc-
ton. lie took out the notebook,
consulting its pages with a puzzled
frown on his thin face. Could he
have been mistaken again? He
had thought there was no posi-

had put in checking and mapping
the outlines of the old pueblo.

turc so that he could reconstruct

BEGIN HERE TODAY


The gaiety Of the Christmas
party at Thunder Mesa" the de
Forest hacienda in New Mexico,
has tragic ending when Pearl
Sams de Forest, oldest of three
brothers, is found dead with Il
knife in his throat.
Each Of the de Forest brothers
has the first name Pearl" As a
family they cling to traditions,
seldom see outsiders. Pearl John
is the youngest brother, Pearl
Pierre next. Others at the house
are: Tante Josephine, old ard an
invalid; Betty Weleh, her young
companion; Ramon Vasqucz, and
Angeliqve Abeyta, guests at the
party; Professor Shaw, archeolo-
gist; and Bob Graham, tire sales
man stopping at the hacienda un-
til his car is repaired.
The body of Pearl Sam, placed
in the house chapel, disappears.
Bob hears Tante Josephine, in a
hysterical outburst, accuse each
of the remaining brothers of Pearl
Sans murder.
Ramona and Angelique discov-
or that the body of Pearl Sam has
been burned. Angelique fiirts with
Pearl Pierre to see If she can
learn anything about the murder.
Next morning Pearl Pierre is
missing and his body is found be-
low a rocky ledge, the same knife
that killed Pearl Sam in his throat.
NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XNIIl
Stunned by the news of Tantc
JoSephinc'S death, and fully arouS-
ed now to the tragedy about
them, the household at Thunder
Mesa assembled. Outside the biz
card swept across the windy
space, holding dead and alive,
alike, prisoners in it's icy clutch.
Had Tantc Josephinr's rage
burned out her life or was there
some other reason for her death?
This thought was foremost in the
minds of all. Betty had not left
the old lady the night before UNI
til Tante Josephine had seemed to
be sleeping quietly. There was
nothing now to indicate that she
had died from any but natural
causes. Yet the awful doubt re-
manned.
About 10 O'Clock the two men
who had started down the canyon
the day before came staggering
back to the hacienda. half-frozen
and saying that the road was i'm
passablc. They had been unable
to get through. All night they
had fought the storm and were
glad to have escaped with their
lives.
"The Indian" Pearl John re-
marked, "did not bring any re-
port on the road"
"The Indian was not at his post
at the top of the trail the mon
told him. "He does not know"
This proved to be the case,
when an investigation was made.
Broken Shield had vanished as
completely as had his tribal an
cestors. Had he learned of his
benefactress' death, and realizing
his position was no longer secure,
taken himself off? Or was the
Indian hiding somewhere on the
mesa, perhaps with the deadly
