Mr.. Collins also suggested a
five-cent fare, but Riley E. Elgen,
chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, explained that it was
impossible to reduce the fares at
the present time.
The taxicab situation also raised
the ire of the subcommittee, with
Mr.. Collins declaring:
"If you folks will raise the
taxicab rate you will have me
walking from my home to the
Capitol in order to save time"
Under questioning about any
contemplated increase in cab rates,
Mr.. Elgen said there was no such
plan in prospect.

ted. Lets get back to the boat
as fast as we can"
Never had the deck of the lit
tie cruiser seemed so solid and
so secure as when they returned
to it after that awful sight in the
lonely cabin. All three sank ex-
hausted in the after cockpit and
stared toward shore where the
pane of the cabin window still
glowed from the fireplace's re-
Election.
Suddenly Kay got to her feet.

circle it and see if there's anoth-
err boat around here" Suiting the
action to the word, she went for
ward. heaved up the anchor, and
in a moment was at the pilot

tiously the "Chinook" crept along
with every light dead. But they
could dimly make out the shore

Chinook" was abreast of the
cabin again without having en-
countered another boat, or any
sign of life along the shore.
"Here's what we'll do" Kay
said at last, switching off the ig-
milton, "We'n stay right here un-
Nil morning. Then We'll go ashore
AGAIN and see what this is all
about"
II move we consider it none of
our business and keep moving,
Priscilla suggested.
Melita took a middle ground.
"We're safe out here, anyhow.
Let's take Rays suggestion-and

Following her suggestion, they
did keep watches-but the fact
was that none slept. The two IN
the berthS below were every bit
as wide-awake as the lookout
above. Yet at dawn nothing had
happened to justify their noe
turnal vigilance.

pointed out, chat cabin looks as

Her companions followed her
gaze across the water to the
wooded island. The small, we'll
built structure looked indeed idyl-

DRY of its interior seemed like a
weird dream.
"Well," suggested Kay. do We
go ashore and have another
look?"
Eat least in daylight we'll have

hitched up her Stacks with a de-

! the cabin, and Pm not a bad
shotw
Melita's light bravado fooled
nobody, not even Melita herself.
Nevertheless, the girls climbed
into the dinghy and started shore
ward, each watching the CABIN
and the surrounding wood with
the keen eyes of hawk. -.
The cabin they approached with
caution, Melita ahead with her
small rifle ready for instant use;
simultaneously they peered
through the cabin window, eX..
pecting again the sight that had
so unnerved them last night.
The room was empty!
Only small, telltale pool OF
blood indicated that they had not
been the victims of some odd hal
lucination.
Gwen go inside" Kay moved
shakily. "You stand near the
door, Mel, while Priscilla and l
have a look around"
In the light of day the cabin
proved to be we'll appointed. Fur
niture and accessories were stur-
dy and in keeping with outdoor
life, but were of the expensive
variety to be found ut exclusive
stores. There was no way to tell
its exact age, but certainly it
wasn't of ancient variety. Curl
ously, the room was equipped for
everything but cooking. There
was neither a stove nor pantry,
and no evidence of food of any
sort. And no trace of the woman
could Kay or Priscilla find in
their nervous examination while
Melita stood guard with the rifle.
This gets too d-deep for me, "
Priscilla said. looking at Kay and
Melita. "My notion is that we'd
better get away and do some
cruising-while we're all three
young and healthy"
Melita and Kay were ready to
agree. Closing the door of the
ominous cabin behind them. they
started down the path again, en-
tirely ready to let their part in
the strange business be confined
to a report to the police. But
when they reached the dinghy
they were due for a surprise. A
great hole had been hacked thru
the bottom of the dinghy!

The figure of a woman was

hung loosely, and running slowly
from the sleeve and down to the

trickle.
The two girls turned, then
faces pallid. But Kay had gained

TO EXTEND
TRADE PACTS
IS PASSED
international News Service

International News Service
The resolution extending the
Presidents power to negotiate
reciprocal trade treaties with
foreign nations to June IL, 1910,
was sent to the White House to-
day for his signature.
Having passed the House with
little trouble the measure faced a
=: severe bipartisan attack in the
Senate. While the debate was
vigorous and continued three
days, the Presidents supporters
were successful in voting down all
amendments and passing the
measure.
Only Once in Danger
Only once was the act in serious
danger. This came when the Sen
ate, by a vote of 43 to SO, approved
an amendment by Senator Pepper
CD, of Florida, which would have
had the effect of limiting future
trade concessions to Industrial
products alone.
The Pepper proposal would pro-
dibit the Department Of State
from lowering tariffs on farm and
horticultural products below a
level set by the Tariff Commission
as the production costs in the
United States.
Immediately Senator Harrison
:CD), of Mississippi, chairman OF
the Senate Finance Committee,
declared:
"ThiS amendment would prac-
tically kill the entire reciprocal
trade program"
PEPPER LEADS REVOLT
On demand of Harrison, who
led the fight for passage of the ex-
tension without amendment, the
Senate reconsidered it's vote and
rejected the amendment AZ to 80.
The rebellion by the Senate
farm bloc, led by Pepper, came
after a day of heated debate.
. DESERVING his Democratic col
leagues for the first time, Senator
O'Mahoney, of Wyoming, fought
to give the Senate authority to
.VGIO 1uGuES GIduc PdCGos
Senator Borah (RO. Of Idaho,
voicing a similar plea, charged
Congress with exceeding its au-
thority in delegating full-trade
treaty powers to the President.
He said:
'There can be no doubt that
the powers of CONGRESS to levy
and adjust internal taxes Is tied
up in this manner. The Supreme
Court has ruled Congress can
not. delegate treaty-making pow
ers to the President without
specifying the rules he must fol.
low in using those powers"
Senators Frazier (R0, of North
Dakota; White (R0, of Maine, and
.Steiwer (R., Of Oregon, taking
the floor in turn, charged Ameri.
can farmers have been greatly in
-jured by the trade pactS.
Vandenberg Asks Check
Senator Vandenberg CR), of
Michigan, sponsor of two amend.
ments, pleaded for some check"
upon the Presidents powers. He
said:
"If you vote against these
amendments, you will close the
door to any future opportunity
or protest when you become con.
Vinced these treaties are def.
nitely destroying farming in
your State"
Both Vandenberg amendments
were defeated. One would have
prohibited inclusion in any trade
treaties of clauses barring Con.
gresS from adjusting taxes on
articles imported. Another would
have prohibited the State Depart
ment from cutting tariffs below
the level Of production costs in
this country.

SCOUTS TO HONOR
LORD BADEN POWELL
Founder of Movement to Receive
Tributes on S0th Birthday
Tomorrow,

Boy Scouts all over the world, now
numbering more than 2.500,OOo, to-
morrow will pay tribute to the
founder of the Scout movement. Lord
Baden-Powell, on the occasion of his
8Oth birthday anniversary.
DR.. James z. West, chief Scout ex-
ecutive of the Boy Scouts of America,
sent the following cable yesterday to
Lord Baden-Powell:
"Affectionate greetings from all Boy
Scouts of America to you on your 80th
birthday. We wish you mRny more
years of happy, useful service to boy
hood"
Lord Baden-Powell, who founded
the first Scout organization, the Brit
ish Boy Scouts Association, in 1908,
used the fundamental training proc
esseS of today to help train men in
South Africa at the close of the nine
teenth century. He was then in ac-
tive service as leader of the constabu-
larry in South Africa.
When he returned to England he
found the activities he had worked
out for men were being used In schools
for boys. He formed the first troop
in 1907, and the rapid growth of the
movement in Great Britain led him to
devote his full time to the fuller or
ganization and administration Of it.
Lord Baden-Powell also shared in
the growth Of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea. His visit to the United States in
1910.
