THREE Shattered HOUSES
=By BEN AMES WILLIAMS

He said slowly: ''They might have
been afraid-afraid of something we
don't know about. Or wanting some
thing" And he spoke to Miss Moss.
"Justus Tame has all the wills, Bow
don's and Hurder's. He wouldn't tell
me what's in them. They'll be pub
lie by and by, but-there may not
be time" His tone was deeply trou-
bled. He spoke to June. "You and
your cousins would inherit all the
money, I expect" he said. "All the
money in the family

could answer, she cried THAT

said.
Tope looked at her apprisingIy.
"Mean that, do your"
''Of course"
Because" he said, "you can help
find out! This is ugly business to
talk about, hard to believe. But
Miss Leaford, your grandpa, Mr..
Hurder, is out there, in that house,
near dying. 1t wouldn't take much
to make him die. Whoever set fire
to the house last night wants him
dead" And after a moment Tope
added soberly: ''They refuse to have
nurse for him."
He shook his head; he said in a
grim and stricken tone:

derer loose out there-insane, and

"Mr. Hurder's in the Bowdon
house." Tope explained. "They aim
to keep him there. They won't have
nurse in to take care of him. But
Miss Leaford, they'd have you. They
want you home, and if you went,
and insisted on nursing him"
Clint made a swift indignant pro-
test; but June hushed him.
Eyes, I understand, she told the
man steadily. 'I'n go. But why?
What am I to do?"

ready"
Ready for WHAT" she insisted.
So, reluctantly, he put the thing
in words. Whoever did this wants

killing him."
And he said gravely: There

More Fires, Less Damage Is 1893 Forestry Record;
Careless Smokers and Lightning Are Chief Causes

The best forest fire protection and
suppression record in decade was
chalked up during 1888 for the ma
tional parks and monuments of the
country, the national park service
reports.
Although the actual number of
park fires (416) in 1888 is above
the 10-year average (350), improved
detection and fire-fghting methods
checked the fires early and held
their destruction to a very small
acreage. Where the average nation

315 acres before it could be sup

national park fire before it burned
more than three acres. The total
acreage burned in the federal park
system In 1888 amounted to only
1,279 acres. There are more than
5000, 900 acres In the system. The

fires left burning, seven were start
ed by railroad activities, two by
numbering operations adjacent to
the park, and 20 are reported due
to miscellaneous causes.
Carelessness of visitors leads the
list of fire causes, as indicated in
the above smokers and campfire to-
tails. However, fire prevention edu-
cation seems to be working. One
fire caused by a careless camper or
smoker occurred for each 86, III Wis

year average of one such fire for
each SC, $50 visitors.
The national park service is con-

mel m an effort to better its present
good record, so that fire will have
little opportunity to start.

OF d6TDerL hoover might
have thought so. Today's
White House is mobile, so
used to being packed in an
overnight bag and whisked
across the country, that FDR
need merely press the button
and away we go. His years
in the harness have put to
shame William Howard Taft's rec
ord for $4,000 miles; by the time
President Roosevelt returns from
Alaska he'll have established a
White House travel total of some
10000 miles-nor is the end in
sight.
Close as Telephone Pole.
In six years of gad-abouting the
nations nerve center has evolved
such letter perfect system of COM
munication that efficiency has suf-
fered not one whit; the White House
on wheels is no farther from Wash
ington than the nearest telephone
pole along the railroad track, to
which line may be plugged in
one minute. The Presidents sig
nature and Great Seal is no farther
away than the nearest airline, where
transcontinental planes will swoop
down at any time to pick up the
presidential pouch and rush it to
Washington.
Presidential junkets are not a
great expense to the taxpayer, con-
trary to popular belief. The Chief
Executive can easily stay within
his SIS, 000-a-year travel and enter
tainment allowance because the rail-
roads (whose legislation is being ia
bled this year to get congress out of
Washington in time for the Presi-
dents vacation) absorb the loss.
There are usually about 20 in the
official White House party. Each of
these-including the Presidents
assessed one frst-class fair plus
Pullman, and that's all except for
small extra charges for special
switchings. Newspaper correspond
ents, and political hangers-on, who
ride from one end of the state to
the other in hope of seeing ''The
Chief" must also pay.
Ordinarily private citizen would
pay SIS day for exclusive use of a
car such as the Presidents old ''Pi-
oneer." On a 10-car train this would
mean $3.50, and in addition the rail-
roads usually charge minimum of
100 fares for the special train. But
the White House is exempted.
Old Stuff for the Staff.
In his private car the President
is just as comfortable, yet works
just as hard as if he were seated
behind his desk in Washington. AS
described by Eugene Warner in a
recent issue of Golfers magazine,
the presidential junket has evolved
into such a simple formula of eff
cheney that every member of the
staff knows his post the instant a
trip is announced.

This record is even more impress

addition of new areas to the park
system and the steadily mounting
numbers of visitors in recent years

fighting and better park organiza-

made the decrease possible. The

Clint cried: "What are you get
ting at, Inspector"
Tope hesitated for moment. He
ignored Clint, said slowly then:
There's one more thing you ought
to know, Miss Leaford: Inspector
Heale has arrested this man you call
Uncle Jim. Heale thinks he did it. -
''But why should he?" she protest
ed. What reason had he?"
And Tope said briefly, kindly:
Hes your father, June"
For long moment then, silence
held them all. June sat still, and
the color drained out of her cheeks
till she was white as snow. Clint
caught her, and she chung to him !;
yet she did not hide her face from
them. She stared at Inspector Tope,
and her eyes were streaming, and
her lips worked as though she would
speak, but no words came. She
watched him, and tears streamed
down her cheeks, and she began to
hiccough with smothered sobs.
Tope spoke slowly, in explicit
terms. Your mother ran away
with him when she was a girl" he
said. "By and by they came home
to live; and after two years there,
the old folks broke it up. Mrs.
Bowdon and Mrs. Taine, he told me,
turned your mother against him. He
said Mr.. and Mrs. Hurder were on
his side, but the others broke them
down. Finally he left. He wanted
your mother to go with him, but she
was afraid, SO he went away alone. -
And he explained: ''He didn't
know about you till afterward, years
afterward. When you were about
ten years old, he came back and
met you in the woods, and you told
him who you were. So he stayed,
to be near you, lived in the cabin
there. They wanted to put him off
the land; but there wasn't any di-
vorce, and he threatened to make
trouble unless they let him stay.
He didn't ask anything of them ex-
cept to be near you, to see you

would understand. 81 guess he still

Clint held her close, protectingly.

Admiral Land Urqes
Replacement Aid for
Merchant Fleet
Proposes U. S. Buy
Old Vessels to Supply
Construction Capitol
By WILLIAM ]. WHEATLEY.

BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY.
Immediate provision of substan-
tial Government aid for improving
and building up the Nations coast
wise and intercoastal fleets was
urged on Congress yesterday in
report presented by Rear Admiral
Emory S. Land, chairman Of the
Maritime Commission.
The commission plan provides for
the Government to purchase ships
more than II years of age at turn
in value, with the operators to apply
the amounts received toward con-
struction of new ships. The ships
traded in would be placed out of
commission in reserve, only to be
used in case of a national emer-
yency.
Admiral Land said the report dis
closes that an important industry
is not in the best of health. The
recommendations of the commission,
he declared, are designed to restore
its strength and by appropriate
treatment supply it with the neces-
sary vigor to resume its proper place
in the transportation system and the
national defense.
Various Conditions Blamed.
The principal need of the indus
try, he said. appears to be replace
ments in tonnage either already
obsolescent or rapidly becoming so
A number of reasons are assigned
in the report for the present con-
dition of coastWise and intercoastal
shipping. including general econom-
ic conditions, unfair" railroad COM
petition and unsound business prac-
tices.
A substantial replacement pro-
gram. the report said, depends on
new capital for building through
Government sponsored trade in =
build" program; removal of threat
Of Government owned tonnage, i'm
proved labor conditions, more eff
cient management, increased reve-
nues from increased volume or high
er rates, or both; reduced operating
costs, more efficient cargo handling
equipment, both aship and ashore, |
better cooperation between water
and rail carriers and new tonnage
at lower cost per ton.
Scrap Values Proposed.
Operators in the coastWise, inter- |
coastal and foreign commerce of the
United States would be eligible TO
participate under the plan if the old
tonnage involved has been owned
continuously by citizen or citizens
of the United States for at least |
three years Immediately prior to the
date of acceptance by the commits
sion. The program would be linn
tied to dry cargo ships. The COM
mission would determine the fair
and reasonable value of the ships
traded in on the basis of their worth
for scrap; their deprecated value
on 20-year life. including residual
value of 2la per cent of the con-
struction cost. and the market value
for continued operation in the world
trade, or in the foreign and domes-
tic trades of the United States.
There is strong feeling in the
industry, Admiral Land said, that no
new construction will be undertaken
as long as there is possibility of
the diversion of ships of the subsi-
died fleet to the domestic trades
ard until the Government adopts a
permanent policy on disposition Of
its own laid-up vessels. Therefore.
he said, it is necessary the tonnage
traded in be sterilized to prevent
any future commercial use, except
in national emergency.
