Present high taxes have brought i the loudest protests front both' | niunufucturers and drinkers. The 1 proposed lower rate is designed' to bring about a marked reduction | in liquor costs and eliminate boot-1 loggers completely. Clubs, hotels and the better-1 class of restaurants are expected to Ire singled out. as the only dealers who will be permitted to dispense llquor-by-tbedrink. Beer taverns will be made strictly beer and wine dispensers and tlie act. will be strictly enforced in an effort to curb practices which now border on the old-time saloon methods. Another important point expected to be brought into the new law will be the generalizing of I hard-liquor sales. At present.' hard liquors can be retailed in 1 packages of one pint or more only ' and only through drug stores. Under the new setup, hotels, clubs land finer restaurants will be permitted to make package sales as

I the environment was in keeping with his condition. Well people [weren’t supposed to be lying in I white hospital beds. Here at home it was different. Here one expected the old Bud, but saw instead this pitifully weak young man who lay on the davenport or sat propped up amid pillows. It made Kay want more desperately than ever to do something to help him, to help her mother, too. Toward noon that day when she was sitting on the deck of the yacht a moment, chatting with Spike Winch, she saw a familiar car draw up to the docks. It was Harrow’s, the rented one they had been using, the one they had left the evening before in St. Augustine. Two men were in the front seat; two in the rear. One, the driver, got out and came swaggering up toward the yacht. He was a big man, with a hard face and a pugnacious walk. He hailed them from the dock. “Mr. Harrow aboard?” “Come on up,” Spike said, rising. “Excuse me,” he said to Kay. Spike stepped forward and greeted the man. Kay couldn’t catch the words of their conversation which was curt and direct, but she was able to gather that the man had brought rather important news, even serious news, for Harrow. Spike led the man inside and as the door closed she heard this much, the stranger speaking: “ . . . they jumped us all right . . .” The men were inside for some time. When they came out Harrow was with them, and he and Spike and the stranger all pot into the car and drove away. Harrow raised a slim hand from the dock. “Back shortly,” he called. And that was all Kay learned that day about the mystery of the StAugustine episode; that the men in the car, four big husky men, had been “jumped.” had been expecting to be “jumped.” That afternoon when Harrow returned, two of the men came with him, carrying small suitcases that seemed to be of a weight far out of proportion to their size. The crew prepared quarters for them. It was plain that the Commander 111 was to have two more passengers for the prospective cruise. And another thing Kay noticed was that the big car was no longer around. Harrow had begun to use a small sedan, a year or two old. and like thousands of others to be found on Florida roads. Before she left that evening. Spike drew her aside and said, “Well, baby, I suppose I ought to tell you. We’re leaving day after tomorrow. Just waiting now till Earl gets somethings straightened out.” Spike’s voice was direct, serious, with none of its customary humor. “I’m sorry . . ." Kay said. She could think of nothing further and she was determined not to pry. Earl Harrow must know what he was doing. Spike nodded at her and wandered away, preoccupied, it seemed. In a moment Harrow came out on deck. “Kay,” he called, as she reached the plank. She turned. “Yes?” Harrow caught up with her. Little party tonight. Sort of a farewell. I won’t feel right if you don t come.” ~ , “I wouldn’t either,” she replied promptly. Harrow pressed her hand quickly and smiled. He was a different man now —quick, vigorous, on tension. She could understand now his success at managing big ventures, his skill as a war pilot. All the air of languor was gone; in its place was a steel-spring energy. “Then come as soon after dinner as you can,” he said. “We’re going to take a little moonlight ride on the rive'. Wear anything—nothing fancy about it, just the usual crowd for a little ride.” “All right,” she smiled. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.” “Good girl. Kay.” And he hurried back to the deckhouse. That night when she arrived at the boat, Ida Campbell was there and Keith Bitts and several of the Community Players crowd and a smart group of year-round residents. Harrow had engaged a fivepiece orchestra and the'dancing began as the sleek, white boat quietly out into the dark river. The r jon was not up yet and there was a certain ghostliness about the town as they saw it drop behind them. Spike Winch claimed the first dance with Kay. As they glided over the smooth deck she was conscious of a strange bulk in his coat, upon his chest, it seemed. Later, when he reached into an ,n^ r p ,. p et for cigarets she caught a glimpse of a leather strap and reahzation came to her She had seen such a stran on a man's shirt once as he took off his coat in a barber shop when she was having her hair n-immed. It had been part of a harness to hold a revolver holster

The meeting closed with a talk

Only, in this case, she had seen a police badge pinned on the man’t suspender strap. She needed no one to tell her that Spike was wearing that .38 automatic he bandied so well. When finally Harrow was able to break away and dance with her, he maneuvered her across the deck and away from the others. They stood by the rail, watching the dark shore of the Halifax drop astern. Kay felt isolated from the rest of the party, from all reality, in fact, and the dance music seemed to come from a distance. Somehow, she felt this was going to be an important moment. “Kay,” Harrow said, "I’ve been wanting to talk to you.” “Yes?” “I like you very much. I’ve told you that. I’ve also told you I wasn’t going to prescribe for you; wasn’t going to try to influence you?” She nodded. His hand slipped over hers and he continued: “There seemed to be plenty of time. I was enjoying my stay here. No real hurry in getting up to the city this month. But now things have changed. You’ve noticed that?” “I suppose so.” she admitted guardedly. “Os course you have, and you’ve been very unfeminine in your attitude. It's one of the things I like you for. Business is business, you know. Well, Kay, it looks as if you aren’t going to be able to come on down to Havana with us, yet it seems under the circumstances that I ought to be shoving off at once. That brings us to a sort of goodbye point, doesn’t it?” She nodded. “Os course, 1 know you may be able to get up to New York, and in that case things would be very, very different indeed. But I also know the situation with you at present and can’t be very optimistic.” He slipped his arm around her and drew her gradually closer. Her first instinct, she was surprised to learn, was to let him do so; then she checked herself and offered a slight resistance. He seemed to respect it. His arm remained, but that was‘all. “I’ve purposely been avoiding making any situation for you,” he explained. “You see, I know myself pretty well. I’ve known a lot of women and I know my own reactions. I’ve liked you and I’ve wanted to avoid hurting you. Please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not flattering myself. I merely mean that I might have become insistent and spoileu our friendship. It’s really been a friendship, hasn’t it?” “It eer-ainly has,” she said. “And I’ve enjoyed it. It’s not the sort of king I meet on Broadway. I have tr be careful; have to keep searching for motives, you know. You’re different I knew that well enough when I saw how quickly you gave in to your mother in the matter of coming here to do the letters for me. I saw it in your pride and your attitude even when you had a legitimate reason to ‘take’ somebody for money. But you’ve been absolutely on the ievel with me. That’s why I’m being absolutely on the level with you—” He stopped suddenly and looked hard at the dark shore, the boat moving along swiftly, quietly, the music still coming as from a distance. His arm began to tighten about her shoulders and he drew her about so that their faces were close. Looking directly into her eyes, he declared: “I iciZl be on the level. I've a wife in Beverly Hills: I’ve a former flame in Juan les Pins; I’ve women of one sort or another in too many places. In most cases it’s been my fault—not all, though. It’s not being big-headed when I say I realize I've been pretty eligible gam* Business, as I said before, is business, and I know it as well as the next one. “And now 1 won’t exaggerate. 1 won’t tell you that you’re the only girl in the world and that I’m dying of love for you. I’ve told you I know myself. Well, I’ve said those things too often, fiut I will say that I’m tremendously fond of you—both as a friend and as a woman. I want to heln you. I want to see you get ahead and have your chances. Not alone because I think you’d be an asset some day if you had the training and the breaks, but because 1 like you as a person. It was bec ause Louis Derasco liked me as a person that I got my chance. That’s fair enough, isn’t it?” Kay nodded solemnly. There seemed to be nothing yet to say. "But I’d still be the worst sort of liar, if I pretended that was all, Kay,” Ear) Harrow continued, leaning closer, his dark eyes intent upon her own eyes, his breath coming rapidly. “It isn’t all. You’re devilishly attractive —almost too at-tractive--to me as a woman. Do yon understand?” Kay’s voice was so solemn bhu small that it frightened her. "I think so,” she said.

At that time the judges will take the ballot box, opeji It and tabulate the credits of the entire campaign. Thus there is no possibility of a "leak” or of anyone knowing in advance of the close what anyone else has turned in. Owing to minor objections to the suggested Friday night closing, it has been abandoned and the campaign will come to a close at an early hour Saturday night, December 22nd, the exact hour to be announced later. o ■■■ - MEETING HELD HERE TUESDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE), tioned music, art and nature study, as mediums for greater enjoyment of lite. • . Mrs. Henry Neireiter spoke on motion pictures. She explained how pictures were censored by a committee of persons of various types and urged the public to select only pictures of which they really approve so that the producers may know what the public most desires. ATTACKS MADE ON UTILITIES ON TWO FRONTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE/ filed today in chancery court at Wilmington, Del., by Frank P. Parish of Chicago. iNye said that this “astounding” brief presented a tale of "impudent flaunting of the auti-trust laws.” "A sound and thorough examination of this situation should result in a reduction of many millions of dollars in the nation's gas bill." Nye said. Nye's statement was released with a summary of the Wilmington action, in which it was stated that ‘tlie seillement proposed to Missouri-Kansas Pipe Dine company receivers in an effort by utility operators to head off a federal investigation of exorbitant natural gas rates, particularly in the Mississippi valley states where most of the nation s great, gas pipe line transmissions systems have been constructed in recent years.” o COUNCIL GIVEN NEW PETITION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) executed to Mr. and Mrs. Case. Charles Brodbeck, superintendent of the water department, brought up the matter of relaying the water lines on the south side

of the homestead division. The grade hus been changed and the mains are only about two and onehalf feet underground. The matter was referred to the water works committee. Councilman 0. L. iVance moved that the city subscribe for the front page cover on the telephone directory for the listing of police and firo alarm information. The cost is SSO. The new directory will be issued the first of the year. Councilman E. A. Heavers Informed the council that FERA labor wotlld build the additional walks at the swimming pool. Walks will be built at the south end and on the east and west sides, the city paying for the material. The ordinance appropriating $1278 tor the payment of claims against several funds was passed and adopted. A walk was ordered on the lot owned by Mrs. Charles Christen on Gloss street. The space to be improved is 12 feet. Bills were read by Councilman Herman Gillig and allowed. The meeting adjourned. POLICE REFORM PLANS STUDIED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) chosen from an equal number of designated polica districts in the state by majority vote of circuit court judges in caaii district. Rotating membership on the board is planned to prevent a com plete change in personnel resulting in sudden and radical changes of policy. Reduction of the number of judicial circuits in Indiana from 105 to 81 and a constitutional amendment to make all judges ap poinlive instead of elective was the most radical change suggested in the economy committee' report. Increase of the number of supreme court .judges and elimination of the state appellate court also was suggested. The appointments would be effective 'during good behaviour” and removal would be only by impeachment. All judges would be available in tlteir circuits IS weeks in the year. INTENSE HUNT IS BEING MADE FOR AVIATORS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) •♦ ♦ • lest plane. Sqiwdrons of seaplanes ami army planes awaited daylight to resume a search, abandoned at dusk. The liners President Coolidge and President Lincoln tunied from their courses to join naval vessels. Ulm. experienced transoceanic flier, presumably carried flares. If the plane still i« bobbing on the surface—it will float for 48 hours, aviation experts estimated —it was pictured as riding ver-

tically in the waves, iU nose beneath tlie surface, its tail in tlie air. Ulm and his companions would be forced to climb out on the slippery wings and ding tliero until rescued. The plane will remain floating until the wings fill with water, then it will sink. The fliers have no life raft. Many navy men in the search today participated in a similar hunt in 1925 when Lieut.-Com mander John Rogers was forced down on a flight from California. Rogers managed to remain afloat 216 hours. A submarine found him. Searchers were hopeful one of the nine subiuurines dispatched from Igihiana on the Island of Maui, 300 miles southeast of Honolulu, would be equally successful in today's search. Fate cheated Ulm, Shilling and Littlejohn of a record-breaking performance within a few short miles of Honolulu yesterday. At 4:00 a. ni. Honolulu time (9:30 a.in. EST) they passed over the President Coolidge and reported all was well. Booster Band Will Meet This Evening The booster band, organized during tlie recent revival meetings at the local M.
