CHAPTER 8

The death of Jim Scott rocked
the South Side. He was a popular
fraternity and social leader and his
friends and acquaintance were
legion.
He was killed as he pulled up
to the curb in Clark's car. The
attack on him was made in identi-
cally the same manner as had been
made upon Clark previously. But
this time the gunner didn't miss,
Scott had been killed instantly.
That the murderers had mistaken
him for Clark was obvious. Clark
knew this to be a certainty. Bitter,
heartsick, and remorseful at the
death of his friend, the only thing
that kept him in the fight was a
desire that approached mania for
revenge.
After Scott had been buried-he
was placed in the earth with all
the homage and respect due a per-
son who had lived to make others
happy-Clark came home and COM
pletely broke down. Kneeling be-
fore Verda with his head in her
lap, for the first time in his care
free life he sobbed with utter aban-
don. With tears streaming from

often there is a case which requires
the CHAN to obtain job and play
a role with which his previous
training has made him familiar.
Even Musicians
A night club murder led to the
assignment of a former musicians
to the case. He obtained a job in
the small orchestra playing in the
night club as saxaphone player,
and no one was aware of his true
identity. His probe led to the iden-
tity of the murderer.
One night when the murderer,
a frequent patron of the club,
came in for an evenings enter
tainment, the CHAN slipped away
for a few minutes to a telephone.
Within q short period of time
the club was raided and the MUIR
derer arrested. The Oman showed
as much surprise as any other
member of the orchestra, and con-
tinued to play in the orchestra for
a short period of time after the
capture was effected.
After several days, however, he
resigned to resume his routine as
special agent of the F. B. I.

of the matter is that they have been
doing it right along, for while it was
the purpose of the treaty-and that
of Washington of 1922-to reduce and
limit naval ornaments, the great
power fleets have kept on growing as
though there had never been any
treaty or any sort of internati nal
regulation.
So, in practical life, treaties-,as
has been seen on ever SO many oc-
casions-mean precisely moth in e

Drastic Methods.
In China where the recent abduc-
ton of Field Marshal Chang Kali
shek now has receded into the back
ground of curious incidents, some
other trouble is looming up. The
government has decreed that the
promiscuOus narcotics traffic must
stop, and it had made it very clear
that If peddlers and addicts had not
stopped indulging in the nefarious
traffic by January 1, they would be
punished by death. To make it pos
sible for the addicts to rid them
selves of the vice, the government
established clinics where treatment
would be given, and all who thought
they could not get along without II cir
opium, their morphine and their
herOin. were ordered to submit to
treatment, and not merely that, but
they were given a few days notice
to get cured.

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page ~

Meanwhile, other complications
arose, for the Spanish rebels also ran
into trouble with one of the great
powers; it was said that one OF their
ships had shelled the British freight
err, BLACK HILL" and that a demand
had been made of Rebel Leader Fran
cisco Franco for an apology and for
a definitive assurance that such in
cidents would not be repeated.
In the background loomed Russia,
France and Italy. 1t was clear TO
observers that if Germany gets into
war-like trouble with Spain-iand t. at
would be on the side of the rebels
it would be necessary for the two
allies, Russia and France, to step in.
That would mean, inevitably, that
Italy would join the Germans fact.
it was said that between 5000 and
5000 Italian warriors were disem-
parked at Cadiz early this week.
So, all the ingredients of another
holocaust were present, but it was
still hoped in some responsible quar-
tiers that a catastrophe might be
averted in some manner.
Civil War Itself.
While the great powers were get
ting in deeper and deeper, the Span
ish civil war proceeded as it has
done these last six months. with muir
der and ravage. and with merciless
air bombing of Madrid.
1t has been said-One cannot know
with how large a measure of truth
that the Madrid government is inter-
ested in provoking major European
conflict in the hope that it would
end the civil war. Should this prove
to be true, it would explain why Ma
drid so tenaciously retains the 'Palos"
cargo.
In case of still further reverbera-
tions, Italy's position would become
an interesting one, for just a few days
ago the Rome government signed with
Great Britain gentlemen's agree
ment perpetuating Friendship between
the two powers, adjusting their rela-
tive position in the Mediterranean,
and pledging Italy not to seize any
Spanish territory. AS one readily
sees, Italy has not, on the strength
of this agreement, obligated itself to
stay away from Spain-merely not to
grab any Spanish soil.
Neutrality.
There does exist, however, an agree
ment which binds 81 powers, large
and small, to keep their hands off
the Spanish war. The only trouble
with this accord-as with most 9TH
ers nOwadays-is that it is not en-
forced. Quite openly Russians and
Frenchmen fight on the side of the
Spanish loyalists while just as openly
Germans and Italians have Joined the
rebels, and it is also said that Brit
ish filters have been known to aid
the loyalists. Yet, all these powers
had solemnly agreed that they were
not to permit any outside interven-
tion in the civil war.
No More Treaty.
And, speaking of international
agreements-the sOcalled London ma
val disarmament treaty of 1880 eX-
pired New Years eve; efforts had
been made to prolOng it, but they
failed, and the result now is that the

Annual Church Meeting.

Approximately 40 people attended
the annual meeting of the local Dan
ish Lutheran congregation held Mon
day afternoon in the church base
ment in spite of the extremely cold
wave and impossible roads. The sec
retary's minutes were read and APP
proved as was also the treaSurer's re-
port. The latter showed that the con-
gregation transacted some major IL
nancial activities during the year
which were very favorable and had
resulted in that the total Indebtedness
has been reduced to only $S4O. How
ever, the regular dues from members
were barely enough to cover the run
ming expenses; it is thought ana
hoped. however, that this condition
will improve in 1887.
The motion proposed by the board
to change the bylaws so that the en-
tire board is elected annually for one
year was thoroughly discussed and
finally laid on the table for future
consideration.
The three-year terms Of Adolf Jen-
sen and Sigurd Stovring expired; the
latter, who has served as secretary,
refused reelection and in his place
Svend Petersen was elected. Adolf
Jensen who has served as chairman
the past year, was reelected by
large majority.
Christian Sorensen, who had one
lnff 70 of fhrna
term, rendered his resignation in
writing. A unanimous vote of those
present requested Mr.. Sorensen to
serve the remaining year. However
his decision was final and in his
place Mrs. j. Albert Johnson was
elected to serve the remaining year.
1t was decided to authorize the
board to request payment of So for
the use of the church by non-mem-
bers for weddings and funerals.
The price of full lot in the GEM
etery to non-members was placed at
$40 and single burial places at So.
Regular dues paying members are
granted full lot upon request for
same.
1t was decided to have one Sum
day forenoon service a month con-
Quoted in the English language and
the other regular Sunday forenoon
services in the Danish. AS soon as
this arrangement is announced then
there will be only one Sunday eve
ming service in the English language
each month.
The regular salary of the minister
was placed at $1,000 per year.
Lack of time prevented the discus
sion of a number of other items,
among them being the important
thing of selecting committee to be
in charge of the annual church con-
ference which is to be held here this
year, presumably during the month
of June. 1t is anticipated that spe-
cial meeting will be called a little
later to discuss this matter.
Adolf Jensen closed the meeting b.
extending sincere thanks to the var
iOus organizations and committees
who have worked in the interest of
the church during the past year.
Immediately after the annual meet
ing the board of directors met and or
ganized as follows: Adolf Jensen, pres
ident; Svend Petersen, secretary: Ar
mold SOrenSen, treasurer; Mrs. ]. AL
bert Johnson and Einar Jensen, di-
rectors.
