-~ BEDLAM followed Linda's an
nouncement that she thought Nina
Nevins' missing emerald ring would
be found in her room. The young
detective drew her aside.

Robert had moved to one side of

arm on the other side. Ronald
spoke quickly. IF Linda thinks

He looked straight into Linda's
eyes. What makes you think that
Miss Nevins dislikes your"
Linda'sDface did not change. She
had done nothing to bring this
woman's hatred upon herself. II
Ronald loved her, II he was marry

not be afraid to tell him of the
circumstantial evidence that had
led a crazed woman to imagine
romance where there had been so
much less than friendship. Yet she
could not give away Minas secrets
before this throng. Nina was men,
tally sick, and she had been a great
actress once.
Ronald was speaking again.

was no other basis for marriage.
Ronald's face was stern, as stern
as she had seen 1t a few times In
his life. II 1t was out of protection
for her, or some strange anger at
fate, she could not tell She tried
to smile at him and slipped her

"Oh, my darling. :" she said
softly, half weeping. Its so sillyl"
She wished-in that moment, as
the boat sailed southwark, that she
had explained more about Nina

had been so unimportant then.
Maybe nothing in life was unim-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Presi-

aside third term inquiries today,
including comment on CLIO John
Lewis prediction of "ignominous
defeat" if he is a candidate for the
third term.
When the statement of the CLIO
leader was brought up at his press
conference, he was asked if he was
candidate. He asked reporters
to give one good reason why he
should answer an inquiry Of that
kind.
A laugh rolled through the con-
ference room when one reported

Step : Embdrgoes
Contemplated
(By Associated Press

American and japanese trade
treaty relations drew toward the
close today and come to an end
tonight.
Japan is uneasy over the new
strategic position but the United
States makes n ohurry to show her
hand.
The last day of the 1911 trade
treaty abrogated under the six
months notice by Washington,
found the United States waiting
for Japan to chart the future trade
relations which will probably be on
day-by-day basis.
The weapon the United States
holds over the Oriental power is
possible action on an embargo on
shipments of materials Japan now
needs for her war in China.
Bills are pending in Congress, es-
pecially in the Senate, that pro-
poses hating of exports to Tokyo
on the grounds that Japan vio-
lated the Nine Power Treaty under
which that Nation was pledged to
respect China's territorial integrity
and among other things, to main
tain the open door policy in trade.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 26. -
Economic "absurdities" must be

K. Wheeler declared today after
calling on President Roosevelt to

Wheeler said: Nearly ten mill

opportunity to consume not only the
necessities, but also the luxuries

Senator Wheeler has been the

or not he will receive the endorses

Lewis.
Earlier, in press conferences, Sem
ator Wheeler expressed the belief
that Mr.. Roosevelt could get the

SPEAK up NOW, GARNER
URGES ON ALL 5TUNC
BY PRESIDENTIAL BEE
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. rs. - Vice
President Garner is putting the bee
on fellow candidates to follow his
example by announcing for the
Presidential nomination regardless
of whether President Roosevelt
seeks a third term.
He has suggested to Postmaster
General Farley and Seantor Wheeler
of Montana that if they wish to
court the favors of Dame Democ-
racy they ought to give her an OPP
portunity to "cuddle up without
fear they will run if Roosevelt came
into the picture.
Report has it That only a few
minutes before the Jackson Day
dinner in Washington Garner twit-
ted Farley about his half and half
candidacy and suggested that he
address the assembly as Fellow
Candidates.
Farley did exactly that and got
great burst out Of the hundred
dollar-a- plate guests. However, Gar
ner people do not accept this little
pleasantly on the part of Farley
as any indications that he is "all
out" for the nomination.
Nor has Wheeler made any state
ment which even approximately ri
walls the 48 word statement by which
Garner put himself on the dotted
line.
OF course, it is not dumb politics
for Mr. Garner to try to get more
candidates in his corner. Several
candidates, taken in the mass,
would constitute solid stop Roos-
evelt" bloc.
That would be more soup in Gar
ner's bowl, because at present he Is,
willy nilly, a stop Roosevelt" move
ment all by himself.

activity on the highway east from

Finnish patrols making a report

said it is the belief the Russians
are moving back their heavy and
more costly arms before falling back
completely from the Salla sector.
The village base of the Russian
artillery at Markajarvi has sud-

past three days not shell has been
fired, indicating artillery is or has
been withdrawn.
