HEARINGS OPEN ON JAM BILL Power Interests Begin War on Western Project. BY RUTH FINNEY WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Just as the Washington power lobby assembled its biggest guns in position to attack the Walsh resolution for investigating the power industry, the Senate has opened hearings on the other measure of paramount interest to this group, the SwingJohnson Boulder dam bill. Asa result, corridors of the capital buildings swarpi with one of the most extensive lobbies seen here in years, its purpose the defeat of both the Johnson and Walsh proposals. But while power representatives will testify in committee against the Walsh resolution, their activities against the Swing-Johnson bill apparently are to be carried on less openly. Differences among the States as to division of waters of the Colorado River and power privileges will be made the talking point against the Boulder dam bill. r Governors of three Colorado River States are here and a fourth has sent his personal representative, while water commissioners are here from the remaining three States affected. Although Arizona denies she wants the river turned over to private interests for development, her fight apparently will fee utilized by the power lobby as a shield and a weapon to accomplish defeat of tha bill. Alleged Bandit Returned Ay Times Special NEW ALBANY, Ind., Jan. 18.— Fred West, 19, arrested here in connection with a $5,000 hold-up of the Aldine Theater at Pittsburgh, Pa., lias been returned to Pittsburgh by a detective of that cty.

THE STORY THUS FAR Vance has his own theories about criminal procedure, and he tells them to bis friend Markham, who is considerably worried over the crime situation in New York. Then the newspapers announce the murder of Margaret Odell, known as the “Canary,” former “Follies” girl and reigning Broadway beauty. Markham turns to Vance for help and they visit the “Canary’s” apartment. CHAPTER 111 AS Markham entered the Odell apartment that morning Sergt. Ernest Heath came forward at once and extended his hand. A look of relief passed over his broad, pugnacious features; and li was obvious that the animosity ana rivalry which always exist between the detective division and the district attorney’s office during the investigation of any criminal case had no place in his attitude on this occasion. “I’m glad you’ve come, sir,’’ he said; and meant it. He then turned to Vance with a cordial smile, and held out his hand. “So the amachoor sleuth is with us again!” His tone held a friendly banter. “Oh, quite,” murmured Vance. “How’s your induction coil working this beautiful September morning, Sergeant?” “I’d hate to tell you!” Then Heath’s face grew suddenly grave, and he turned to Markham. “It’s a raw deal, sir. Why in hell couldn’t they have picked someone besides the Canary for their dirty work? “There’s plenty of Janes on Broadway who coulda fade*} from the picture without causing a second alarm; but they gotta go and bump off the Queen of Sheba!” As he spoke, William M. Moran, the commanding officer of the detective bureau, came into the little foyer and performed the usuai hand-shaking ceremony. Though he had met Vance and me but once before, and then casually, he remembered us both and addressed us courteously by name. “Your arrival,” he said to Markham, in a well-bred, modulated voice, “is very welcome. Sergeant Heath will give you what preliminary information you want. I’m still pretty much in the dark myself—only just arrived.” “A lot of information I’ve got to give,” grumbled Heath, as he led the way into the living- room. Margaret Odell’s apartment was a suite of two fairly large rooms connected by a wide archway draped with heavy damask portieres. The entrance door from the main hall of the building led into a small rectangular foyer about eight feet long and four feet deep, with double Venetian glass doors opening into the main room beyond. There was no other entrance to the apartment, and the bedroom

Had Terrible Gas and Stomach Pains Says He Eats Anything Now, and Has Pep and Health People who are suffering from the pangs of stomach trouble and indigestion, will be glad to read how Frank Baker, 625 Keasley St., South Bend, Ind., quickly overcame these agonizing afflictions. He writes as follows: “Since over a year ago, I have had a bad case of stomach trouble that .just wore me out. I had sick spells that left me weak, dizzy and nervous. My appetite was very poor, and after meals the food would not digest, but felt like a rock in the pit of my stomach. I had burning pains in my stomach. I could not sleep at night, even though I was all tired out. In the morning, I got up feeling weaker and worse than when I went to bed. I lost weight and had no pep at all. The first and only relief came when I started taking Viuna. Almost at once I began to get well. I took it regularly and soon felt like a different man. The bilious attacks and burning pains stopped, my appetite came back, and my digestion improved wonderfully. I can eat heartily again with no gas, and no rock-like sensation in my stomach. My nerves are steady, I sleep splendidly every night, and feel full of pep when I get up. Life sure looks different for me since I got back to health, and I’m mighty thankful to Viuna.” Viuna acts promptly on sluggirt jowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if you re not glad you tried Viuna. your money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind- < VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

could be reached only through the archway from the living room. There was a large davenport, covered with brocaded silk, in front of the fireplace in the left-hand wall of the living room, with a long narrow library table of inlaid rosewood extending along its back. On the opposite wall, between the foyer and the archway into the bedroom hung a triplicate Marie Antoinette mirror, beneath which stood a mahogany gate-leg table. On the far side of the archway, near the large oriel window, was a Baby Grand Steinway piano, with a beautifully designed and decorated case of Louis-Seize ornamentation. In the corner to the right of the fireplace was a spindle-legged escritoire and a square, hand-painted waste-paper basket of vellum. To the left of the fireplace stood one of the loveliest Boule cabinets I have ever seen. Several excellent reproductions of Boucher, Fragonard and Watteau hung about the walls. The bedroom contained a chest of drawers, a dressing table and several gold leaf chairs. The whole apartment seemed in Seeping with the Canary's fragile and evanescent personality. As we stepped from the little foyer into the living room and stood for a moment looking about, a scene bordering on wreckage met out eyes. The rooms had apparently been ransacked by someone in a frenzy of haste, and the disorder of the place was appalling “They didn’t exactly do the job in dainty fashion,” remarked Inspector Moran. “I suppose we oughta be grateful they didn’t blow the joint up with dynamite,” returned Heath acridly. But it was not the general disorder that most attracted us. Our

gaze was almost Immediately* drawn and held by the body of the dead girl, which rested in an unnatural, seml r recumbent attitude in the corner of the davenport nearest to where we stood. Her head was turned backward, as if by force, over the silken tufted upholstery; and her hair had come unfastened and lay beneath her head and over her bare shoulder like a frozen cataFact of liquid gold. Her face, in violent death, was distorted and unlovely. Her skin was discolored; her eyes were staring; her mouth was open, and her lips were drawn back. Her neck on either side of the thyroid cartilage, showed ugly dark bruises. She was dressed in a flimsy eve-

ning gown of black Chantilly lace over cream-colored chiffon, and across the arm of the davenport had been thrown an evening cape of cloth-of-gold trimmed with ernune. There were evidences of her ineffectual struggle with the person who had strangled her. Besides the disheveled condition of her hair, one of the shoulder-straps of her gown had been severed and there was a long rent in the fine lace across her breast. A small corsage of artificial orchids had been tom from her bodice, and lay crumpled in her lap. One satin slipper had fallen off, and her right knee was twisted inward on the seat of the davenport, as if she had sought to lift herself out of the suffocating clutches of her antagonist. Her fingers were still flexed, no doubt as they had been at the moment of her capitulation to death, when she had relinquished her grip upon the murderer's wrists. The spell of horror cast over us by the sight of the tortured body was broken by the matter-of-fact tones of Heath. “You see, Mr. Markham, she was evidently sitting in the corner of this settee when she was grabbed suddenly from behind.” Markham nodded. "It must have taken a pretty strong man to strangle her so easily.” “I'll say!” agreed Heath. He bent over and pointed to the girl’s fingers, on which showed several abrasions. “They stripped her rings off, too; and they didn't go about it gentle, either.” Then he indicated a segment of fine platinum chain, set with tiny pearls, which hung over one of her shoulders. “And they grabbed whatever It was hanging around her neck, and broke the chain doing it. They weren’t overlooking anything, or losing any time. ... A swell, gentlemanly job. Nice and refined.” "Where's the medical examiner?” asked Markham. “He's coming,” Heath told him. “You can’t get Doc Doremus to go anywheres without his breakfast.“He may find something else—something that doesn’t show.” “There's plenty showing for me.”

declared Heath. “Look at this apartment. It wouldn’t be much worse if a Kansas cyclone had struck it.” We turned from the depressing spectacle of the dead girl and movea toward the center of the room. “Be careful not to touch anything, Mr. Markham,” warned Heath. “I’ve sent for the fingerprint experts—they’ll be here, any minute now.” Vance looked up in mock astonishment. “Finger-prints? You don’t say—really! How delightful!—lmagine a johnnie in this enlightened day leaving his finger-prints for you to find.” “All crooks aren't clever, Mr. Vance,” declared Heath combatively. “Oh, dear no! They’d never be apprehended if they were. But, after - all, Sergeant, even an authentic finger-print merely means that the person who made it was dallying around at some time or other. It doesn’t indicate guilt.” “Maybe so,” conceded Heath doggedly. “But I’m here to tell you that if I get any good honest-to-God finger-prints outa this devastated area, it’s not going so easy with the bird that made ’em.” Vance appeared to be shocked. “You positively terrify me, Sergeant. Henceforth I shall adopt mittens as a permanent addition to my attire. I’m always handling the furniture and the teacups and the various knickknacks in the houses where I call, don’t y’ know.” Markham interposed himself at this point, and suggested they make a tour of inspection while waiting for the Medical Examiner. “They didn’t add anything much to the usual methods,” Heath pointed out, “Killed the girl, and then ripped things wide open.” (To Be Continued)
