as far as We could, and find he's
an Italian with a police record in
his own country. Not an Indian
Raiah or a Russian nobleman OF
any of the other things he's pass
ed himself off as"
"Supposing he had had the scar
removed. do you think you'd
know him if you saw him in the
shadow box, for instance" asked
Bob.
Steve took off his cap and ran
his fingers through his thin hair.
Not sure, of course, but i be-
lieve | would. Amt anyone on
the force can identify like can.
I've proved that. Even if the guy
hasn't been mugged yet" Which
boast Bob happened to know was
true.
Immediately the image of Pro-
fessor Bracey rose before his
minds eve. the thin-lipped cruel
mouth. and mysterious half-closed
ewes with their beetling black
trows. II there was any mark OF
surgery on his face, the long side
burns which he effected would
cover il. Very clearly now Bob
remembered the day he and Steve
had been sitting on park bench
discussing some police procedure,
and the man. ne was afterward TO
meet as Professor Bracey, had
strollcd past therr. He had no
ticed at tire time the piercing
look the stranger gave them. ;,
Inst then Schmatz had shifted
inouiringly at his heels. With an
oath the man had kicked vicious
" at the dog but had missed ms
mark The terrier had not for
gotten, even if Bob had. Could 1t

Steve?" N
"TI say it is. He knows all
about 'em. Little stuff don't even
interest him. It's the big ones or
nothing. IL someone should Swlpe
one of those big babies out OF the
King of England'S new crown, la
think this guy was at the bottom
of it. He's likely over there now;
probably has cleaned up on the
coronation crowds.
Bob did not answer for a MN
ute, then he asked casually. III
YOU should be able to pick him up
there'd be sizeable reward prob
ably"
Enough to keep me in cigars

ned. Why? Know where you can

put some of your story detec-
tives on him. They can do such
a lot of things the real force
would never think of, But let me

YOUNG DEMOS
ADDRESSEDBY
z R0OSEYELTS
Presidents Wife and Son
James Share Platform
With James Farley

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, aug
21'-UP)-Two members OF the
nations first family-Mrs. Eiea-
nor Roosevelt, wife OF inc Presi-
dent and her eldest son, james
shared the speakers platform
with Postmaster General James
A Farley yesterday before the
;hird national biennial convention
of Young Democrats. -,
Mrs. Roosevelt, speaking with
out a manuscript, told the 10000
delegates that THE future OF
America is in the hands of the
Young Democrats"
Her son, keynoter and tempo
rary chairman Of the convention,
introduced his mother as some
one who truthfully knows about
Young Democrats for she has
reared FIVE of them"
Mrs. Roosevelt said that women
should not be considered a sepa-
rate part of political organiza-
tions.
81 believe there should be no
division between men and women
in our political life, but that we
should function. as a people,, she
said.
During his keynote address, at
ter which Alfonso Zirpoli Of San
Francisco was selected permanent
chairman of the three-day con-
vention, James Roosevelt declar-
ed that "the Democratic party OF
today sees and serves the ma
ton as a whole it sees and
serves the whole nation in the
light of modern times-of 1897
and not Of 1887"
He characterized his fathers
regime as "the frankest admins
tration Washington has ever
seem"
Farley administered flashing
to New Deal foes and branded
talk of "disintegration of our par
ty" as "pure politics" He scoffed
at reports of a rebellion in our
ranks and disloyalty in our coun-
ellis"
"The opposition clamor of in
dustrial collapse and Democratic
decentralization are no more valid
today than they were in the SO
campaign" he said. "There is no
more substance to the scarecrows
and to the phantoms that are be-
ing invoked by our political foes
in 1887 than there was in 1886"

Barnett and Williams brought
Hardwood to the hospital in his

throwing rocks from the bridge to
the water, that he went for more
rocks, turned and saw the child

There was blood on the back Of
Hazelwood's shirt when he was

A further investigation of the
scene revealed two facts:
The right shoe from the child's
foot was found almost at the bot
tom of the ravine, on the opposite
side from the bridge. and at dis
lance of about 800 feet from the
point where the body was found.
Examination Of the child's cloth
ing revealed that six buttons were
missing. Five of these buttons
were found at the bottom of the
ravine, a distance Of about 200
feet from the body, and on the
same side of the bridge.

 William N. Kennedy, local engi. neer of projects, who has stated previously that most of the work here has been done by skeleton crews on various jobs, said today that more men could be used. He had nothing to say, however, in connection with the possibility of acquiring more men from the vel. fare department rolls, which showed an increase for September due to many layoffs inc the city and the seasonal drop caused by the cessO- ton of outside summer employment.
 Mrs. Margaret Verdon, local well fare department head, was not m town today to issue any statement In regard to the present relief roll situation. The figures released at the department yesterday showed an increase of more than l30 on direct relief as Of September 90, Since that time there has been c further influx ct the welfare department Of people looking for food, clothing and rent from the city.
