OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. s.
Two chimpanzees in the city zoo
turned the tables on spectators.
They broke out and went
around looking at people. A neat
bit of strategy gave them their
freedom for five hours.
First they tugged and pulled
until they got the lock off their
Gaze. It let them into an outer
room guarded by door with a
glass window
The chimps, Annette, 10, and
Josephine, %, smashed the glass,
hid in a corner when a custo-
dian investigated. AS he enter
ed, out they ran, chattering
gleefully over their success.
Keepers and police joined TO

Most of the submarines. he said,

Macdonald said planes locating

ROOSEVELT AND
CLEVELAND LEAD
ALL AS VETOERS
PRESENT CHEF ExEcUTTys
OF NATION IS APPROACH.
ING DAY WHEN HE WILL BE
CHAMPION
oBy As-oeisted Pre..l

WASHINGTON, Nov. SIT is
no news any more when President
Roosevelt breaks another record
In the history of executive and
White House activities, but it
should be worth more than a
passing note that with only few
months overtime on our two-term
Presidents. MIR. Roosevelt is rapid
ly approaching that day when he
win be champion vetoer of all
time.
The fact has lust been I'm
earthed In the first summary of
Presidential vetoes made in the
last % years. This record of bills
vetoed and action taken thereon
from 1889 to 1871 was compiled
by Robert L. Baldridge, a Senate
employe, under the dirertion of
Edwin A Halsey. the Senate's
veteran secretary.
President Roosevelt, to date
has vetoed SIS bills passed bv
Congress and has had only seven
of these passed over his veto.
Even leaving his third term out
of It. President Roosevelt has to
tip his topper only to Grover
Cleveland, who vetoed 594 bills
IN his two terms. In the same
period, President Roosevelt veto
ed sos. No other President has
even approached the records
established by these two.
In any administration. a great
many probably a large majority
of bills vetoed are private bills
introduced by some senator or
representative specifically for
the relief Of some individual or
firm in his bailiwick. For ex-
ample, they include provisions for
the payment of damages incurred
by the neglect or carelessness of
some government employe; or
they include pension payments to
some neglected veteran or his
widow
And it was on this last that
Cleveland outstripped Roosevelt.
When Cleveland came to Office,
the Civil War claims Of pensions
for soldiers or their widows were
really in full swing When Roose-
welt came TO office, our veterans
relief was q going concern and it
IS rare thing that President
Roosevelt has ever had to deal
with a measure similar 70 one
that came up to Cleveland. Ii
provided for funds 10 be paid
"a poor Union soldier" suffering
painful and permanent wounds
Cleveland sent the bill back with
the simple comment that he was
vetoing It because the evidence
showed the veteran" had served
only one week In the army and
had received MS injuries more
than three years later when, II q

clearly this fact, whatever it is, has
nothing to do with Elinor. But, you
see, my friend, it is imperative that 1
should know everything. For it may
be that there is wrong done by
Mary to some third person and, in
that case, that third person might
have motive for desiring her DEATH"
Peter Lord said: "But surely, in
that case, Nurse Hopkins would rea-
lie that, too"
Poirot said: "Nurse Hopkins is
quite an intelligent woman within her
limitations, but her intellect is hardly
the equal of mine. She might not see,
but Hercule Poirot would"
Peter Lord said, shaking his head:
"I'm sorry. I don't know anything"
Poirot said thoughtfully: "No more
does Ted Bigland-and he has lived
here all his life and Mary's. No more
does Mrs. Bishop; for if she knew
anything unpleasant about the girl,
she would not have been able to keep
it to herself! Eth bien, there is one
more hope"
"Yes?"

O'Brien, to-day"
Lord said: "She doesn't know much
about this part of the world. She was
only here for month or two"
Poirot said: II am aware of that.
But, my friend, Nurse Hopkins, we
have been told, has the long tongue.
She has not gosiped in the village,
where such talk might have done
Mary Gerard harm. But I doubt if
she could refrain from giving at least
a hint about something that was oc-
cupying her mind to a stranger and a
colleague! Nurse O'Brien may know
something"

Poirot said, "True. But remember
that Immediately afterwards the en-
gagement was broken off-that he
showed her clearly that he wished to
be released from it"
Peter Lord groaned and held his
head. He said: at comes back to her.
then. Every time!"
Eyes. Unless !" He was silent
for a minute. Then he said: "There
is something :"
"Yes?"
"Something-some little piece Of

thing-of that I am certain - that
concerns Mary Gerard. My friend
you hear a certain amount of gossip
of scandal, down here. Have you
ever heard anything against herr"
against Mary Gerard? Her char.
acter, you mean?"
Anything. Some bygone story a
bout her. Some indiscretion on hel
part. A hint of scandal. A doubt OF
her honesty. A malicious rumor con
corning her. Anything-anything al
all-but something that definitely is
damaging to her. :"

"She was like the female Sir Gal

GAS far as know, she was. I new

Poirot said gently: "You must not
think, my friend, that would stir the
mud where no mud is. No, no, it is
not like that at all. But the good
Nurse Hopkins is not an adept at
hiding her feelings. She was fond of
Mary, and there is something about
Mary she does not want known; that
is to say, there is something against
Mary that she is afraid I will find
out. She does not think that it has
any bearing on the crime. But, then,
she is convinced that the crime was
committed by Elinor Carlisle, and

Nurse O'Brien tossed her red head
and smiled widely across the tea-table
at the little man opposite her. She
thought to herself: cts the funny
little fellow he is-and his eyes green
like any cats, and with all that DR..
Lord saying he's the clever one!"
Hercule Poirot said: at is pleas
ure to meet some one so full of health
and vitality. Your patients, am sure
must all recover"
Nurse O'Brien said: "I'm not one
for pulling long face, and not many
of my patients die on me, Pm thank
full to say"
Poirot said: "Of course, in Mrs.
Welman's case, it was a merciful re-
lease"
"Ah! it was that, the poor dear.
Her eyes were shrewd as she looked
at Poirot and asked as it about that
you want to talk to me? was after
hearing that they're digging her up"
Poirot said: "You yourself had no
suspicion at the time?"
"Not the least in the world, though
indeed I might have had, with the
face DR.. Lord had on him that morn
ing, and him sending me here, there,
and everywhere for things he didn't
need! But he signed the certificate,
for all that"
Poirot began, "He had his rea-
sons" but she took the words out
of his mouth.
Indeed and he war right. It does
a doctor no good to think things and
offend the family, and then if he's
wrong it's the end of him, and no one
would be wishing to call him in any
more. A doctors got to be sure!"

wouldn't have the nerve"
Poirot murmured: 81 wonder. In
some ways, mon cher, you underesti-
mate that young man."
"Oh, he's clever and intellectual and
all that, dare say"
Exactly" said Poirot. "And he
has charm, too. =. Yes, 1 felt that"
did you? l never have!" Then
Peter Lord said earnestly: "Look
here, Poirot, isn't there anything?"
Peter Lord said: "They are not for
tunate so far, my Investigations!
They lead always back to the same
place. No one stood to gain by Mary
Gerrard's death. No one hated Mary
Gerrard-eXcept Elinor Carlisle
There is only one question that we
might perhaps ask ourselves. We
might say, perhaps: Did any one hate
Elinor Carlisle?"
Slowly DIR. Lord shook his head
"Not that 1 know of 4. You mean
that some one might have framed
her for the crime?"
Poirot nodded. He said: sc is a
very far-fetched speculation, that,
and there is nothing to support it . i.
except, perhaps, the very complete
ness of the case against her."
He told the other of the anonymous
letter. "You see," he said, "that
makes it possible to outline a very
strong case against her. She was
warned that she might be completely
cut out of her aunt's will-that this
girl, stranger, might get all the
money. So, when her aunt in her
hating speech was asking for law
yer, Elinor took no chances, and saw
to it that the old lady should die that
night"
Peter Lord cried: "What about
Roderick We Imam? He stood to lose,
tool"

Poirot shook his head. "No, it was
to his advantage that the old lady
should make will. If she died in
testate, he got nothing, remember.
Elinor was the next of kim"
Lord said; "But he was going to

"You have no doubts? No doubts

ooh! No! Pm quite sure. It's a
pleasant feeling when you are sure!
We don't like making mistakes any

go ahead with clear conscience"
Poirot said slowly: II see."
The Scotland Yard man looked at
him curiously. "Is there anything on
the other side?"
Slowly Poirot shook his head. GAS
yet, no. So far everything I have
found out about the case points to
Elinor Carlisle's being guilty"
Inspector Marsden said with cheer
full certainty: "She's guilty, all
right"
Poirot said: 81 should like to see
her."
Inspector Marsden smiled indulg-
emily as he replied, "That will be easy
enough"
Peter Lord said: "Well?"
Hercule Poirot said: "No, it is not
very WE'LL"
Peter Lord said heavily: "You
haven't got hold of anything?"
Poirot said slowly: "Elinor Carlisle
killed Mray Gerard out of jealousy
Elinor Carlisle killed her aunt so as
to inherit her money -. Elinor Car
Isle killed her aunt out of compassion
-. My friend, you may make your
choice"
Peter Lord said: you're talking
nonsense!"
Hercule Poirot said: Gam II"
Lords freckled face looked angry.
He said: "What is all this ?"
Hercule Poirot said: "Do you think
it is possible, that?"
"Do think what is possible?"
"That Elinor Carlisle was unable
to bear the sight of her aunt's misery
and helped her out of existence?"
"Nonsense!"
"Is it nonsense? You have told me
yourself that the old lady asked you
to help her."
"She didn't mean it seriously. She
knew l wouldn't do anything of the
Sort"
"Still, the idea was in her mind.
Elinor Carlisle might have helped
her."
Peter Lord strolled up and down.
He said at last: zone can't deny that
that sort of thing is possible. But Eli
nor Carlisle is level-headed, clear
thinking kind of young woman. I
don't think she'd be so carried away
by pity as to lose sight of the risk.
And she'd realize exactly what the
risk was. She'd be liable to stand &C.
cused of murder"
$50 you don't think she. would do
it?"
Peter Lord said slowly: 81 think
woman might do such thing for her
husband; or for her child; or for her
mother, perhaps. I don't think she'd
do it for an aunt, though she might
be fond of that aunt. And think in
any case she'd only do it if the person
in question was actually suffering UNI
bearable pain"
Poirot said thoughtfully: "Per-
haps you are right" Then he added:
"Do you think Roderick Welman's
feelings could have been sufficiently
worked upon to induce him to do such
a thing?"
Peter Lord replied scornfully: "He
