FEDERAL BUREAU
SEES RECESSION
IN 1888 TRADE
Slip in us. Recovery to
Remain Awhile

uN.SJ A recession in recovery,
which has become evident in the
last few weeks, is expected to con-
tinue into next year, with q reduc-
tion in industrial output, national
and farm incomes, the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economies said today.
Pointing out that every recovedy
after o depression Is marked by
relatively short" recessions, the
bureau, in q forecast on farm In
come for 1898, predicted farm In
come somewhat lower than the
estimated $4,000, ,OO0.0 900 for this
year.
Recessions in industrial produc-
ton, the bureau said, will cut de-
1nand for farm products, and re-
suit in somewhat lower prices to
farmers.
SEE AUTO SLUMP
Automobile production, the bu.
feau said, which has averaged l.
100000 cars a year for the last
three years for new owners" and
2,500,000 q year for requirements,
is expected to be somewhat cur
tailed because the new owner"
market cut down sharply during
the depression, has almost been
filled. owners Of cars needing
replacement are expected to hold
onto their older cars a while longer,
because Of the anticipated indus
trial recession.
Railroads, while needing new
equipment and roadbed improve
ment to meet increasing traffic
demands due to the huge farm
crops and industrial activity this
year, face wage and other cost in
creaseS which, the bureau said,
cause them to hold back on new
orders for equipment and rails.
SEE GAIN AT END
The building construction in
dustry also has not come up to
expectations, the bureau said.
AS a result Of the receSsions in
the automobile and railroad in
dustries and the failure of con-
Struction to come up to expecta-
tions, the steel industry is ex.
pected to suffer, because automo-
biles, railroads and construction
are chief users of steel.
The bureau anticipated "better
conditions" for the last half Of
1888.

WHEEL
The country, he said, would be
far better served by 10 great rail-
road systems than by the over
tapping maze Of roads now in
operation.
Speaking from his experience as
head Of the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation, Jones told
1,700 business leaders that the
operators will find a much brighter
future in consolidation and other
economies than in rate increases.
At the same time he urged more
strict control and closer super
vision over bus, truck. and water.
way traffic.
Jones declared q clear example
Of needless competition now exist
ing might be seen in the service
between Chicago and the twin
cities Of st. Paul and Minneapolis
In Minnesota. Eight trains daily,
he said, would be sufficient TO
handle the traffic now spread
among "a trains.

CHAPTER Is

Chappie Allen raped on the
door ten minutes later. He wore a
smile of anticipation upon his fat
face which bore the look of per-
son who constantly delves into the
flesh pots. Other than this look,
however, there was nothing about
his appearance that would label
him as being what he was-a con-
scienceless, hard, dangerous deni-
zen of the underworld. AS he now
stood rapping for admission ne
appeared to be a prosperous, we'll
kept professional man without a
care in the world.
The prospect of new feminine
conquests had brought him from
his hangout where he had left a
lady of recent acquaintance in a
more or less disrobed state, and in
a very ugly mood at having had
what promised to be an interesting
hour rudely interrupted. Chappie
was firing of her Establishments at
the moment any way. Casanova,
that's me, he thought, as he await
ed entrance.
"Come on in" called the prison
err. prodded by TootS' hand around
his throat.
Chappie entered, and the smile
promptly left his face. For the
first thing that met his eyes was an
unwavering automatic in the
steady hand of Inky.
The man who had been serving
at the lookout post quietly stepped
through the. door and locked it
from the outside. That left Clark,
Toots, Inky and the captured man
to face Chappie.
81 hadda do it." the frightened
prisoner began. "They made"
The pressure of Toots' hand on his
windpipe cut off further speech.
Now, whatever else Chappie
might have been, he was no cow
ard. Nor was he a fool. Had he
been either of these two things he
could not have lasted as long as
he had in his profession" There
fore, he squelched the impulse to
reach for the gun in his back pock-
ct. The steady manner in which
Inky held the automatic was a
very effective squelcher of foolish
impulses, anyway. IT,.
He flung a look of whitening con-
tempt at the other captive, who
recoiled from it as from the threat
of a blow.
"Well, just what the hell is
this ?" The remark was directed at
Inky.
"Frisk him, Toots," Sanborn
said, without reply to Aliens
query.
Thirty seconds later found Toots
in possession of everything of
lethal use which had been in Aliens

possession.
"Sit down there" Inky waved to
a chair with the gun.
Allen nonchalantly took the seat
and crossed his legs. 81 hope you
know what you're doing, fella," he
said.
"I'Il worry about that" Inky
hooked a chair with his foot and
drew it up in front of Allen. He sat
down in it, the gun never waver-
ing. He reached in his pocket and
again brought forth the incriminat-
ing paper. "You probably were too
smart to handle this thing without
gloves, Chappie, so I doubt if your
fingerprints are on it. And the
word of this crumb,". he desig-
mated Chappie's stooge, probably
wouldn't mean a hell of a lot to a
jury after a good shyster like Grad
dock got through with him. So I
guess all of this wouldn't be of
much help to the cops, would it,"
Meaning what ?" Allen asked.
Meaning that we are going to
handle this without the help of the
law" Inky significantly said.
Allen smiled. "I don't know what
you are blowing your top about.
and don't give a damn, either.
But" he leaned forward and looked
Inky in the eyes, II don't scare
easily. Now if you want to let me
go, I'll forget all about this horse
play and everything will be strictly
oke. And if you don't let me go
well, / know some people who won't
like it. No sir, not at ALL"
1t was Inky's turn to smile.
"For somebody who is hiding be-
hind the eight ball, you make big
talk. But skip that. Did you give
this louise the paper to deliver?"
Aliens reply was a derisive
snort.
"All right, if that's the way
you feel about it. We made this
ape here confess by toasting his
corns. We've got a little different
dish for you. Toots, here, knows
all kinds of ways to mangle peo-
pie. And he hasn't got any nerves.
Maybe now all those quiffs you
keep in your stable won't like papa
so much with his pretty face beat
to a pulp and his head pointing in
the wrong direction. To say moth
ing about some other valued parts
of his carcass being rendered unfit
for further use. Get it?"
A look of concern flashed across
Aliens face. He laughed, but it
wasn't a nice, smooth laugh. "Quit
bluffing," he managed.
Inky's voice became softer,
"Grifith's pal was blotted out by
gorillas. He's been shot at once
himself. Ny nephew is in the Big
House serving time on a framed
rap. Do you still think we're bluff

was slipping.
"And you never saw this paper
before ?"
"No."
Inky arose. Cali right, Toots,
there's more meat for you"
"Just a minute" Clark stepped
up to Chappie. "Look here, Allen.
Why should you take the rap for
someone else? Come clean, and I'll
see that you get square break.

Allen was about to speak. Then he
looked away.

grimly.
Inky turned. zone bum move out

The Louise nodded his head and

Toots' right hand shot out like
the strike of a cobra. With it he
grabbed Chappie by the immacu-
late lapels of his coat and lifted
him clear of his chair. With his
left fist he smashed Allen on the

and sent Allen smashing into the
wall with such force that a pic

Stunned, insane with pain, Allen
came off the wall and rushed Toots
with the desperation of a cornered

Toots lodged the wild blow and
delivered cruel hook deep into
Aliens unprotected stomach. Bent
with force and pain of the blow, he
staggered away.
But Toots was relentless in his
punishment. He snatched Allen up

mans neck with his other arm.

leg around Aliens thigh. Then he
released his hold on Chappie's hair

Slowly he Strengthened up, and
Aliens head was bent farther and
farther back. A gurgling scream
escaped his lips as the vertebrae in
his back received the bone-crushing
strain.
"When you're ready to talk, just
pinch me-" Toots said in Aliens
ear.
Suddenly, when it seemed that
his head would be snapped off,
Allen frantically pinched Toots on
the thigh. Toots promptly released
all holds and Allen fell to the floor,
a moaning, bloody, gasping hulk.
Toots brushed the palms of his
hands together and said, "Rats is
all alike, boss. They can't take it"
"Put him back in the chair"
Inky directed.
Toots picked Allen up bodily and
flung him into the chair.
Inky stepped to the table and
poured a stiff drink of Scotch into
tumbler. Here, drink this"
Allen eagerly accepted the glass
and drank the liquor down without
pausing.
