Death of Sen. Joe Robinson Pol
HicaI Ears All Cooked !. What
Death Means TO FHibUSter

WASHINGTON-The death of Senator Joe
Robinson certainly seems to make hhouSter
on the Supreme Court plan impossible, and that
presumably is why the opposition forces are
talking about a long adjournment. Such an ad-
journment may joe taken but at the moment
there is a curious unanimity on each Slde-the
one holding that the Roosevelt program must
now be dropped while all hands go nome ana
the other insisting that it be driven through
If Roosevelt sticks to what he told his STRAIT
egists and lieutenantS a few hours after Joe
Robinson was found dead, the compromise court
plan which the Senate had been debating, a
government reorganization act and a Wge-hour
law are still on the must list.
The one thing most likely TO block Supreme
Court and other legislation this summer is
process which insiders in each camp speak OF
as throwing Justice Sutherland to the wolves"
This means that Justice George Sutherland,
his fellow justices and their congressional de-
tenders may decide that it's worthwhile for Suth-
erand to resign. Because If Sutherland did
quit following in the wake of Justice Van De-
vanter, Congress almost certainly would in
sist on going home for. keeps. -
But the White House is sending private
threats that it will hold Congress up to scorn
if it tries to run out without passing the final
triple pointed must" program
The game of politics begins to be played just
as as the news of prominent politicians
death gets around, and candor compels the ad-
mission that few of those who delivered splendid
and both eyes cooked at the changed political
situation caused by his death
The argument as to what to blame for
Joe's death?" RACES all over town. although
few are willing to speak for publication on the
subject The oppositonists wailing and
weeping the fact that Robinson was kept
in harness until he dropped, forced to make
his last valiant fight for court bill he really
didn't like and appointment to the Supreme
Court for which he passionatey yearned.
The administration crowd replies that the
filibusterng tactics of its opponents threw ter
rifle and needless strain on Robinson, and point
out that the most sensational development in
the court fight occurred just a few hours before
Robinson died, when Chairman HattOn Summers
o the Judiciary committee broke loose with
a scorching denunciation of attempts to jam the
court bill through.
Senator Burton K. Wheeler's friends are
worrying about him since he called on Roose-
welt to withdraw the court plan "lest he seems
to be defying God" Wheeler's bitter dislike of
Robinson has been common talk here for years
and although the White House gangs feeling
that he has been guilty Of unusually bad taste
may not be valid, that statement and other
signs indicate that Wheeler is not standing the
strain any too well.

tivities of ferry boats along the
Ohio river Eight miles downstream
from Cincinnati a man has Just

not exceptional. There are 20 ferr-

And the total when this kind of
transportation is figured in from
all the navigable rivers of the union,
might be shocking to those who
scoff at old-time methods.
How long these ferries may con-
tinue to defy time is a matter of
guessing They make no challenge
to the faster moving age, because
they merely fill the gaps left in the

serve communities which can not

II is interesting. then. to estimate
how many other "vestigial remains

Probably there are many of them.

really that's all they require for

Next morning Pearl Pierre falls
TO appear. He Is found, lifeless,
below . rocky ledge, the same
knife that killed his brother, In
his throat.
Pearl John announces he Is go

he goes 10 get 1t, the knife has
disappeared. He accuses BROKEN
SHIELD, Indian servant, Of the
murders and Tante Josephine de-
tends him. Next morning she,

Professor Shaw investigates the
basement Of the house, finds a
hidden passage and Is about to

CHAPTER Xxx

The professor was alive and when
the tapeline had been cut away from
his throat he began TO breathe
more naturally. His unknown as
sailant evidently had thought him
dead and either been frightened
away or considered his grisly task
completed.
The three younger men carried
Professor Shaw to his bedroom,
restoratives were applied. After
several hours however, the pro-
fessor still lay in a coma, unable
to tell what happened to him.
Though the marks on his neck told
only too plainly that the attempt
on his life had been real enough.
So the menace hanging over all
OF them was still actively at work!
Doors we're locked and double
locked that night.
isext morning the storm had
blown itself out. De Forest at
once set men TO clearing the road
down the canyon. AS soon as this
was completed he hurried two
servants off once more to Santa
Fe. Those who remained on the
mesa settled down to walt fur
ther developments.
Angelique apparently had re-
gained her composure but Pearl
John noticed that she kept a close
watch on Betty, especially when
tho other girl happened to be
taking to Ramon. Pearl John
was relieved when the Spanish
girl finally disappeared In the d.
rection OF her own room. He might
not have felt so comfortable If he
could have watched her thereafter.
For she did not enter her bed
room but, after casting a swift
glance around, walked straight to
the door with the knocker. 1t had
been quite easy to extract the key
from the unconscious professor
pocket, In the brief interval when
she had taken her turn sitting be-
side the injured man. She had
also taken his electric torch. An
gelique had great curiosity about
that mysterious door; she had
wondered about 1t ever since she
watched Pearl Pierre steal down
there.
Opening the door. she peered
down the stairs. Then, after a
moments hesitation, she turned on
the spotlight and made her way
slowly down to the big storeroom
Nothing unusual here. She looked
rather disdainfully at the boxes
and barrels, then walked TO the
blank wall that had proved SO
disastrousiy absorbing to Profess
yor Shaw. A slight rustling near
her feet made her turn in fright
