English Seize Red Russian Documents Hv United Pr> ■ > . LONDON, May 14. —Documents of great importance reported to have been found by secret service operatives today when locksmiths succeeded after a night of work in drilling their way into two safes in the Soviet Trade Delegation and Arcos, Ltd., headquarters here. Interpreters inunedlately set to work translating the documents. One object of the search of the premises, it was learned, was for English war office documents which have been disappearing mysteriously for some time. Conservative leaders yesterday started a stump speaking campaign demanding that soviet propaganda in Britain cease and urging passage of the government’s bill restricting the power of trades unions. The Midland Bank announced today that the statement regarding the arrangement of a credit of approximately $50,000,000 for Soviet Russia through the bank was not correct.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Diana Brooks, beautiful daughter of Boxer Brooks, owner and publisher of the ('ataw aim City Time* and nine other dally newspapers, was kidnaped from the veranda of her home and released the next day, unharmed. Boxer Brooks redoubled Iris struggle to break the power of a corrupt city administration and defeat politicians of the ring and the Underworld, and then himself disapSears. Four members of hi* loyal staff evote their efforts to searching for him. They are: Teddy Farrell, reporter and Sob Sister; Donald Keene, literary editor and Teddy’s guardian; Bill Oanfleld. city editor, and Dinny Morrison, city hall reporter. Teddy, by her actions, betrays to Diana her secret love for her guardian, Don. Don learns that holders of Brooks newspaper stock are being approached by would-be purchasers, and goes to John W. Walden, Jr., member of the city’s leading la wf.rm, for information. Waldon is evasive and arouses Don’s suspicion. Diana, through a friendly gangster's wlfp, gets a clew (o her father’s concealment. Don. aware he needs help of one j who knows the ropes, plrks out Char- , ley Costello and la able to get in touch . with him. Now go on: CHAPTER V For more than a year Don bad not seen his old buddy. And now just when he had virtually given up hope of locating him, why, here was Charley smiling at him, looking as fat and healthy as ever. Lady | Luck surely was distributing her cards with a sweeping hand that day! “Well, if it ain't my old side-kick and cootie-killer of Chateau Thierry an’ Belleau Wood an’ Sedan an’ Montmedy an—jiow’n 'ell are you, anyway, Angelface?” “Angelfaee” had been the nickname Charley had tied him up with over in France. Angelface on account of his “angelic” smile. The young man who thus accosted him was typical of the Latin race. Black-haired and black- ! eyed with flashing white teeth, and j dressed in a light gray suit of exclusive weave and cut, Charley looked not unlike a much imitated popular movie actor. Probably Charley imagined he resembled the star. In real life Charley Costello was a ganster, a hijacker and a gambler. Also a feudist. Donald Keene gazed at him admiringly and was sure he could get no one better fitted to help him in his undertaking. Chatting sociably, they walked along the city’s main thoroughfare. At length Don broached the subject of Pop’s kidnaping, outlining the situation in full, including the parts he had cast for them both, providing, of course, Costello would lend his aid. “Why, cert’nly, old pard!” ex- 1 claimed the young Italian. “I sh’d! say I would! I’m only too glad of th' chance to do anything f’r th’ guy that crawled on his belly through a hell o’ bustin’ shells an' machine-gun fire to pull me outta i it an* back to our trench, when he himself was damn near dead f’m gas bombs! Give ’im a 'and now.’ I’ll say I will!” The subject of this fervent eulogy seemed slightly embarrassed for an instant, a flush of conscious red dyeing his cheek bones. Then with a shrug he picked up again the thread of his story. Briefly, eliminating all unnecessary detail, he told of the telephone call from tile convict’s wife that afternoon and her disclosure to Diana Brooks of the approximate location of the latter’s father, somewhere In one of the buildings between 684 and 688 K— street. Charley Costello whistled. “I’ll bet I know just th’ joint where your friend is locked up. I’ll bet a thousand bufcks I do. That place,” he went on with a gambler’s optimism, "is as familiar to me as a set of phoney dice! No. 687 Is where Tony Belatto ran his poker game all last winter. There’s a kinda sub-cellar under 684 that Bino, the fruit-dealer-bootlegger kept his goods planted in!” Donald Keene considered this Information for a moment before replying. When he spoke his shrewd brown eyes were fixed with an intent gaze on ,the face of his friend. “Charley,” he said without preface, “you and I were mighty close pals ‘over there.’ You tpld me a lotta things about yourself. Among other things you said you had belonged to th’ Sam Venola gang. Everybody In this city, of course, knows of th’ feud between th’ Venola and Valetti followers —there’s been a hundred killings at least. Well, I’ve reason to think some of th’ Valetti gang have been hired for this kidnaping of Mr. Brooks. I don’t know, you understand; I just suspect.

“I knew you, Charley, as a soldier In France and I know you’re not afraid of th’ devil himself, tet alone Nick Valetti! I’ve got a badge belonging to th’ Gas Company. We could represent ourselves as gasmeter inspectors. That would give us an excuse for getting inside those buildings on K street. Are you game to come along?” Charley Costello grinned and pushed out his right hand. ‘‘Not only game, but tickled to death at th’ chance!” he said and that clenched the compact. “You spoke of me having belonged to th’ gang’, ” went on the young Italian after a moment. ‘‘For that matter I belong yet, I a'pose. At that, Sam Venola isn’t what you’d call a ‘gangster’—that is, what th’ police class as ‘gangster.’ He’s no crook. Neither am I—though I’ll

admit I’ve pulled off a job or two that wasn’t just exactly ‘within th’ law.’ “But th’ Valetti bunch are crooks —out and out crooks of th’ stick-up blend. Some of those guys don’t care any more for a human life than a rattlesnake cares' And they’re pust about as cold-blooded as a rattlesnake!’* They had come to a halt for a moment in their walk toward K street, held up at a crossing to wait for the traffic signal to reverse. Then again that day did the jade, Circumstance, wave her wand in the face of Donald Keene. The figure she materialized out of the ether on this occasion was that of the little sob sister, Teddy Farrell. She was on her way, she informed Donald, to get the data for a “human interest" story. The assignment had been given her that morning by the Sunday editor of the Times. Donald introduced his little ward to Charley Costello. “Have you heard anything new?” It had become virtually a stock question among members of the Times editorial staff. Local interest in the case was swelling as each hour went by with the editor still missing. Rumors were developing and spreading wildly, and that afternoon the opposition paper gave first page attention to the matter which so virtually concerned its contemporary. Don outlined to Teddy the purpose he had in mind with Charley listening In approvingly. “Oh, Don!” breathed the impulsive Teddy, “let me go along, too, won’t you? I'm Just crazzy to be In on this. May I go with you, Don? Please.” She saw doubt In his eyes and a pleading note entered her voice. It had not nor did it then occur to Donald Keene that actual danger lurked in the execution of his plan for rescuing Pop. Had he even thought of such a thing little Teddy would not have gone along that afternoon. In which event, but— He turned to the young Italian walking on his left. “We’re not likely to get roughed up any, are we Charley?” he asked. “Oh, I guess not,” replied the other carelessly. “Os, course,” he added, as if it were an afterthought, and shooting a swift, speculative glance at the girl reporter, “If we see things look anyways bad, why. Miss Farrell can stay outside. She’ll have to run along out of sight anyway if we have to work this gas inspector gag.” So Teddy went along. The four buildings in K street from 684 to 688, which were their

objective, were of red brick, three stories high and designed originally for stores with the two upper floors cut up into small apartments. All four, apparently, were now being utilized as lodging houses of the 25 and 50-cent variety. The store part of No. 684, with an alley on one side, was occupied by one L. Blno, dealer In fruits and vegetables. Tho remaining three stories were vacant. Turning Into Iv street at the intersection of Sixteenth and Ann, the trio walked leisurely along discussing the work in hand. It was decided that Teddy was to remain at the corner above 684 until Don and Charley had done some reconnoiterlng. “We’ll go around to th’ rear of 688 first,” said the young Italian as they reached the alley at the side of the fruit dealer's store. “Miss Farrell better stay here.” At the rear of the building the two found the entrance protected by a shanty-like storm house. Neither the door to this nor the inner door opening into the wide hall were locked. A stairway to both the regions above and those below led from this hall. “Maybe it’s odd and maybe it isn’t that th 'doors are unlocked,” remarked Costello in a low tone. His keen glance was darting into every corner and crevice about them. “It’s a cinch someone is living in th* upper stories,” he added. “Let’s see what’s below.” Stepping carefully to avoid unnecessary noise, they made their way down the stairs into the basement.
