LEADERS HOPING ■ II [WOE USE IF FORCEINSTRIKE Congressmen Realize Danger of Seizing Railroads at This Time. TWO SCHOOLS OF THOUGHT Harding Between Widely Divergent Croups in Hi3 Cabinet. By ROBERT J. BEXDER T'titfr Xftrr '’faff Correspondent (Oopyrisht, 1822. by United N T ewg WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Administration leaders are hoping for an amicable. settlement of ths rail strike because of their conviction that to seize the roads would be both politically and economically hazardous. In view of this hope and the President’s known aversion to coercive methods in settling either the mire or coal strike*, congressional leaders in both branches would be surprised at any Immediate request for new legislation. Harding Requires Leverage Time for bluffing having now passed, what the President apparently more than anything else Is a definite leverage on one side or the other of the rail strike combatants. That Influence is looked for in a report soon to be submitted to the Senate by the Interstate commerce commission, detailing the condition of railway motive power and other equipment. There have been and still are two schools of thought in the President’s Cabinet on this point. The one. advocating a fight to a finish between the rail executives and the unions, best personified by Secretary Mellon, believes railway equipment is steadily improving, and. with time, the roads will be able :o normally man their shops and take care of all business. Roosevelt Leads Other Side The other, counselling against a finish fight, best personified by Acting Secretary Roosevelt, believes railway j equipment is steadily deteriorating and that, even if the coal strike were settled Immediately, the condition of transportation equipment would con- j tinue to the point that commerce and industry would become virtually paralyzed. If the 1.. C. C. report confirms the rail executives' contention that they '-an handle the situation despite the strike, and that condition of their equipment is steadily improving, both sides will be satisfied. Otherwise they will insist that Harding lay the situation before the people and demand that the rail executives accept his original terms of compromise settlement, already accepted by the shopmen AGIDRSHOPETO PREVENTSTRIKE Union Making New Proposals to Augustus Thomas in Closed Shop Matter. By United Xeics NEW YORK. Ang. 15.—The actors’ union is making new proposals in the matter of the closed shop in the American theater, hoping to avert another general actors' strike in ail ranks from heavy tragedians down to rear-rank gentlemen of the ensemble. The actors voice an ardent desire not to strike when their present blanket contract with the producing managers’ association shall expire in June, 1&24. The proposals are made in an open letter addressed to Augustus Thomas, lately appointed czar of the producers’ organization by Frank Gillmore, executive secretary of the Actors’ Equity Association. Gillmore recalls to Thomas the fact that he, Thomas, was once an actcr and therefore acquainted with the iniquities which he implies are germane to managerial Puhies. The Equity offers to take another poll of its members as to whether they desire the closed shop. The members previously voted almost unanimously in favor.

He tried to beat the ponies and always "nearly cleaned up,” according to his wife. He gambled in the stock market and lost all of his saving. Then he put a mortgage on hie home and took one last flier in a big craps game. He lost again. But he won out Monday. He wrote j a note in which he expressed the hope; that the "gods of chance won’t hold out on me this time,” and turned on j the gas. He was dead when found.

(Continued) Antony looked up at Bill in surprise. "Didn't you hear what he said?” "What, particularly?” "That it was Cayley's idea to drag the pond.” "Oh! Oh. I 6av!” Bill was mther excited again. "You mean that he’s hidden something there?

WWhen Stuart Walker uses ice on the stage he uses the real article and he keeps his ice in an ice box such as you see in any American home. The only thing which was not real was the horse, but we heard the hoof beats on the country road just the same. The truth is Mr. Walker’s horse effect’ was even more horsey than a real Dobbin. And 1 might remark that Gaul’s kisses in this comedy i are the real artlile. Also Elizabeth Patterson’s attack of “love" was as real as a school girl’s, is;.• When the first act Is smoothed out Just a wee bit more and made to move more rap.dly, Mr. '£V; '- V 'A / " alker in The Charm School” has nearly ideal vir'C-* TV-,; summer entertainment.

It is the highest ! comedy acting because there is a real | soul behind the characterization. This ! woman will make you howl with joy j when she falls in love, and yet will j j cause your heart to tingle with a wee j bit of pain because her love affair is . I hopeless. Such an effect is caused only by good acting. Such an actress , is Elizabeth Patterson She knows comedy values. She is even better this week as Miss Curtis than she was last season as Mrs. Mandelharper. You always will remember her by these two roles. This play gives I,ueile Nikolas an i opportunity to prove she is learning her theater rapidly and well. The ■ cast Includes Myra Hampton, Julia ; Hoyt. Walter Poulter, George Somnes, j Aldrich Bowker and many, many j others. Elizabeth Patterson doesn’t have ! the main role this week but by sheer artistry she walks away with the entire proceeding.

The Harmony Four heads the* bill , with an instrumental musical act. In j the act are three women and a man who play French horns, cornels and j trombones. A feature of the program • is the Jazz trap drum playing of one i of the women. Lane and Harper scored with their songs and baseball scoreboard. They j play a game of ball by telling stories, the hits and strikes being registered | by the amount of applause or laughter each story receives. Casson Brothers and Marie present a dancing act in wheh something different is attempted. The two men imitate mannikins dancing on phonographs. The Milners offer a sort of acrobatic act with a lot of comedy patter injected. The act gets over nicely. The Dohertys have a line of comedy pertaining to a matrimonial j agency arid an insurance policy. The act is of the “nut” variety and is rather entertaining Raymond and Lyte are a pair of i youthful dancers who present a program of fast and fancy steps. Pauline and Carleton offer some ! movie show comedy. The girl in the act keeps things moving nicely. Bender and Herr open the bill with : a clever athletic act. The bill as a whole is entertaining and full of pep. (Reviewed by J.

"Yes, I’m afraid eo.” "But why afraid?” "Because I think that it must be something very important, something which couldn’t easily be hidden anywhere else.” "What?” asked Bill eagerly.

for him to find. But if he doesn’t, then it wil ! be because Cayley is going to hide something there tonight.” "What?” asked Bill again. "You will see what. Bill,” said Antony; "because we shall be there.” “Are we going to watch him?” "Yes, if the inspector finds nothing." "That’s good,” said Bill. Antony looked at his watch and stood up. "Come along," he said. "It's time for that job I spoke about.” “The passage?" said Bill eagerly. "No; the thing which I said that I had to do this afternoon.” Without saying anything, Antony j led the way indoors to the office. | It was 3 o’clock, and at 3 o’clock j yesterday Antony and Cayley had j found the body. At a few minutes | after 3. he had been looking out of the window of the adjoining room, and had been surprised suddenly to find the door open and Cayley behind him. I He had vaguely wondered at the time j why he had expected the door to be j shut, but he had no time then to worry j the thing out, and he had promised himself to look into it at his leisure afterward. He had decided that 3 o'clock that afternoon should find him i once more in the office. As he went into the room, followed by Bill, ho felt it almost as a shock that there was now no body of Robert lying there between the two doors. But there was a dark stain which showed where the dead man’s head had been, and Antony knelt down over it, as he had knelt twenty-four hours before. “I want to go through it again,” he said. “You must be Cayley. Cayley said he would get some water. Now, then. Bill, Just pretend you’re Cayley. You’ve just said something about water, and you get up.” Feeling that it was all a little uncanny Bill, who had been kneeling beside his friend, got up and walked out. Antony, as he had done on the previous day, looked up after him as he went. Bill turned into the room on the right and came back. "Well?” he said wondering!?. Antony shook his head. “It’s all different," he said. “For one thing, you made a devil of a noise in there and Cayley didn’t." "Perhaps you weren't listening when Cayley went in?” "i wasn’t. But I should have heard him if I could have heard him. and I should have remembered afterward." "Perhaps Cayley shut the door after him.” "Wait!” He pressed his hand over his eyes and thought. It wasn’t anything which he had heard, but something which he had seen. He tried dosper- ■ atoly hard to see it again. • • * He saw Cayley getting up, opening the door from the office, leaving It open and walk ng into the passage, turning to the door on the right, opening it, going in. and then —What did his eyes see after that? If they would only tell him again! Suddenly he jumped up, his face alight. "Bill, I’ve got it!” he cried. "Wliat?" "The shadow on the wall. I was | looking at the shadow on the w*a!l. Oh. | ass. and ten times ass!" Bill looked uncomprehendingly at h.m. Antony took his arm and pointed! to the wall of the passage. "Look at the sunlight on it.” he said. “That's because you've left the j door of that room open. The sun comes straight in through the win ! flows. Now, I’m going to shut the i

door. Look' D’you see how the shadow moves across? That’s what I saw —the shadow moving across as the door shut behind him. Bill, go In and shut the door behind you—quite naturally. Quick!” Bill went out and Antony knelt, watching eagerly. “I thought so!” he cried. “I knew it couldn’t have been that.” “What happened?” said Bill, oom-! ing back. "Just what you would expect. The sunlight came, and the shadow moved back again—all in one movement.” “And what happened yesterday?” “The sunlight stayed there; and then the shadow came very sowly back, and there was no noise of the door being shut.” Bill looked at him with startled eyes. “By Jove! You mean that Cayley closed the door afterward —as an afterthought—and very quietly, so that you couldn’t hear?” Antony nodded. "Yeti. That explains why I was surprised afterward when I went into the room to find the door open behind me. You know how those doors with springs on them close?” “The sort which old gentlemen have to keep out draughts?" “Yes. Just at first they hardly move at all, and then very, very slowly they swing to—well, that was the way the shadow moved, and sub-

As an afterthought, you know; and very quietly, so that I don't hear the click of it.” Biill did as he was toll, and then put his head out eagerly to hear what had happened. “That was It,” said Antony, with absolute conviction. “That was just what I saw yesterday.” He came out of the office, and joined Bill in the little room. “And now,” he said, "let’s try and find out what it was that Mr. Cayley was doing in here, and why he had to be so very careful that his friend Mr. Gillingham didn’t overhear him.” CHAPTER XIII Antony's first thought was that Cayley had hidden something—but that was abourd. In the time at his disposal, he could have done no more than put it away in a drawer, where it would be much more open to discovery by Antony than if he had kept it in his pocket. Bill pulled open a drawer In the chest, and looked inside. “■Why did he keep clothes here at all?” Antony asked. “Did he ever change down here?” “My dear Tony, he had more clothes than anybody in the world. He just kept them here in case they might

bo useful, I expect.” "I sea. Yes.” Ha was walking around the room as he answered, and he lifted the top of the linen basket which stood near the wash basin and glanced In. "He seems to have come in here for a collar lately.” Bill peered in. There was one collar at the bottom of the basket. "Yea. I daresay he would,” he agreed. “If he suddenly found that the one he was wearing was uncomfortable or a little bit dirty, or something. He was very finicky.” Antony leant over and picked it out. “It must have been uncomfortable this time,” he eaid, after exam-ning it carefully. “It couldn't very well be cleaner.” He dropped it back again. “But what, did Cayley come in for so secretly?” “What did he want to shut the door for?” said Bill. “You couldn’t have seen him, anyhow.” “No. So it follows he wa3 going to do something which he didn’t want me to hear.” “By Jove, that’s it!” Said Bill eagerly. “Yes. hut what?” Bill frowned hopefully to himself, but no inspiration came. “Well, let’s have some air, anyway," he said at last, exhausted by the effort, and he went to the window, opened it, and looked out. Then, struck by an Idea, he turned back

'to Antony and said, "Do you think ! I had better go up to the pond td make sure that they’re still at It 1 Because —” He broke v off suddenly at the sight of Antony’s facet "Oh, idiot, idiot!” Antony cried, “Oh, most super-excellent qf Watsons! Oh, you lamb, you blessing! Oh, Gillingham, you Incomparable ass!” “What on earth —” “The window, the window!" cried Antony, pointing to it. Bill turned back to the window, expecting it to say something. As it said nothing, h3 looked at Antony again. “He was opening the window!” cried Antony. “Who?” “Cayley, of course." Very gravely and slowly he expounded. "He came in here in order to open the window. He shut the door so that I shouuldn’t hear him open the window. He opened the window. I came in here and found the window open. I saidl ‘This window is open. My amazing powers of analysis tell me that the murderer must have escaped by this window.’ ‘Oh,’ said Cayley, raising his eyebrows. ‘Well,’ said he, ‘I suppose you must be right.’ Said I proudly, ‘I am. For the window i* open,’ I said. Oh, you incomparable ass!” (Continued in Our Next Issue)
