LISTS MILESTONES
IN HISTORY OF MAN
Sir Willmott Lewis Speaks Before
Bible Glass of Chevy Chase
PRESBYTERIAN Church.

Sir Willmott Lewis, Washington
correspondent for the London Times,
told the Clyde Kelly Mems Bible Glass
of the Chevy Chase Presbyterian
Church, 1898 Chevy Chase parkway,
last night that the three most i'm
portant developments in the history
of modern civilization were these:
The beginning of the Christian era,
because it established new thought
In the minds of men.
The Declaration of Independence,
because it made the people vigorous
proponents of democracy and national
ism
The industrial revolution in its
twentieth century phases, because it
developed new conditions of living and
o new situation in this country and the
world generally which has given rise
to much thought and speculation on
what is to come.
Sir Willmott left the impression that
he felt study of the course of the
thought developed by Christianity
and the democratic nationalism rep
resented by the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence might give the answer to
the question Of what Is to come from
the industrial revolution.

THE STORY so FAR

BOLITHO BLAINE, BRITISH fipancier, disappears from yacht owned by his principal compet-i tor, CARLTON. sROCKSAVAGE, on Miami. A note found in Bianeas cabin, addressed to his secretary NICHOLAS STODART. indicates suicide since he faced bankruptcy. A memo written by StOdart shows Blane's company stock, ARGUS SUDS, closing at a new low that day.
 Other passengers aboard the yacht GOLDEN GULL are MISS TERRI ROCKSAvAGE, Rocksav- ages daughter; LADY WELTER; REGINALD JOCELYN, MRS. JOCELYN, Lady Welter's daugh- ter and son-in- Jaw; the BISHOP OF BUDE; COUNT LUIGI POS ODINI, and INOSUKE HAYAS- HI.

by man in a financial jam. Blane's innuendoes that Rock savage intended to do him in are discounted by the statements of the secretary, Stodart, who ap- pears convinced that for some days past Blanc was not of sound mind and suffering from form of persecution mania. 54 ..s -s
 Captain Derringham seems fine, straightforward, of rather silent, fellow and certainly not the man to permit any monkey business upon a ship commanded by him.
 Rocksavage's manner is normal and he appears surprised and up- set at the tragedy, although it should be noticed that he stated that this was only a pleasure trip, whereas it is made abundantly

These marks might have been made by the two legs of chair being dragged across the carpet. I found, however, at the table end of these roughly parallel tracks very slightly discolored patch. up- on the carpet, which would not have been visible in electric light. then proceeded to examine the portllole window and found upon the left hand curtain a smear of blood.
 Returning to the patch on the carpet it seemed to me probable that small quantity of blood had been spilled there, too, and that someone had endeavored to get it out by rubbing the place with wet sponge.
 If the person had done this im- mediately after the blood was spilled, as is probable, most of the blood would have been absorbed, hence the faintness of the discol- oration. The patch is still damp and r. measures about eight inches by five, although it is probable that, if the blood was spilled here, it was no mo-, than a few drops and the main patch of damp was caused by an endeavor to clean the carpet afterwards,
 In view of this, the tracks on the carpet present a new signifi- csnce, and suggest that they were caused by the toes of mans boots as he was dragged from the table to the porthcle.
 Taken in conjunction the wet patch, the boot tracks, and the smear of blood upon the window curtain definitely point to the fact that Bolitho Blanc was murdered. I send this report at once in or der that full investigation may be made into the antecedents of all the passengers upon the yacht, who now come under suspicion.
 I have given instructions that, as they leave their cabins for breakfast, each cabin Is to !, be locked after them. ! shall then be able to search all cabins before these are tidied and will proceed to the examination of all parties concerned immediately they. have breakfasted.

clear from Stodart,s statement that its real objective was to cover a big business conference between Rocksavage and Blanc.
 On the face of it, all the guests are apparently respectable people of some social standing, and Cap tain Derringham gives them his as- surance that no new men have been brought on in the crew this trip, or employees of Rocksavage, for any special purpose.
 . Apart, therefore, from Blane's innuendoes there is no evidence at all to support any suggestion .out- side the known facts and, in my view, it is a plain case of suicide.

 I first examined the marks on the carpet, mentioned in Lieuten- ant Schwab's report, and appar- ent in print B. These marks con- sist of a slight irregular roughing of the pile in the carpet running from the table to. near the win- dow.
