G. 0. P. CHIEFS MOVE TO SHELVE SHIP MEASURE Seek to Prevent Action on Jones Bill in * House. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—House Administration leaders laid plans today to shelve the Jones bill passed by the Senate providing for continued Government operation of the merchant fleet. It appears they will be successful in preventing its report from the House Merchant Marine Committee, to which it will be referred. They will exert pressure to have the committee report a substitute bill looking toward private operation of the Government ships. If it develops later that House sentiment is strong enough to pass the Jones bill as it came from the Senate, it is believed the shipping issue will be laid away quietly. Tilson Passes Down Word If, however, amendments can be tacked on which would modify the bill, leaders may allow passage in that form, thus throwing the whole matter into conference between the two Houses, where it might die or come out in some acceptable form. President Coolidge, who opposes the bill, has the veto to kill it, but leaders do not like to put the issue up to him. Republican Floor Leader Tilson, passed the word down today, in a formal statement, that he wants the Jones measure shelved in favor of a substitute providing private operation, if possible, and Chairman White of the committee, responded with a statement that he is opposed to the Jones bill. He will seek such a measure as the administration wants and announced he will introduce a bill in a few days. Two Other Proposals There are two alternative proposals before the committee, one by Representative Wood (Rep.), Indiana, providing for payment to American shipbuilders of the difference in cost between ship labor costs here and abroad, and the other by Representative Wainwright (Rep.), New York, for selling the United States lines and lending money at 2 per cent to the purchasers to build two additional $15,000,000 vessels for that line. Hearings will be opened soon by the committee.

ACID IN STOMACH SOURS THE FOOD Says Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Cause of Indigestion. A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity—acid stomach—and not, as most folks believe, from a lack of digestive juices. He states that an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation; then our meals sour, forming acrid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass qf water before breakfast, while it is effervescing, and furthermore, to continue this for one week. While relief often follows the first dose, it is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of stomach sufferers with excellent results.—Advertisement.

Little Girl, 10, Eds So Much Mother Amazed “My 10-year-old daughter had no appetite. Then we gave her Vinol, and now she eats so much we arc surprised.”—Mrs. W. Joosten. Vinol is a delicious compound of cod liver peptone, iron, etc. The very FIRST bottle often adds several pounds weight to thin children or adults. Nervous, easily tired, anemic people are surprised how Vinol gives new pep, sound sleep and a BIG appetite. Tastes delicious. Haag Drug Co.—Advertisement.

THE STORY THUS FAR The thin? that baffles Vance most is the Jewel case. It had been opened with a steel chisel after unsuccessfully being pried with a poker. Spotswoode had gone out with Margaret Odell the night she was murdered. When he left her he told Jessup to call a cab. They heard a scream from her room, but when they reached her door were told everything was all right. The next morning she had been found strangled. Vance believes two men were in the apartment, one in a clothes closet, the other the murderer. Investigation discloses that Cleaver has been seen with her the most, and fingerprints in the apartment lead to the identification of Tony Skeel. CHAPTER XVI TTT hung up the receiver and A A rubbed his hands together. “Now we’re sailing.” he rejoiced. Vance had gone to the window, and stood staring down on the “Bridge of Sighs,” his hands thrust deep into his pockets. Slowly he turned, and fixed Heath with a contemplative eye. “It simply don't do, don’t y’ know,” he asserted. “Your friend, the Dude, may have ripped open that bally box, but his head isn’t the right shape for the rest of last evening’s performance.” Heath was contemptuous. “Not being a phrenologist, I’m going by the shape of his fingerprints.” “A woeful error in the technic of criminal approach, Sergeant,” replied Vance dulcetly. “The question of culpability in this case isn’t so simple as you imagine. It’s deuced complicated. “And this glass of fashion and mold of form whose portait you’re carryin’ next to your heart has merely added to its intricacy.” (Tuesday, September 11; 8 p. m.) Markham dined at the Stuyvesant Club, as was his custom, and at his invitation Vance and I remained with him. He no doubt figured that our presence at the dinner-table would act as a bulwark against the intrusion of casual acquaintances; for he was in no mood for the pleasantries of the curious. Rain had begun to fall late in the afternoon, and when dinner was over it had turned into a steady downpour which threatened to last well into the night. Dinner over, the three of us sought a secluded corner of the loung-room arid settled ourselves for a protracted smoke. We had been there less than a quarter of an hour when a slightly rotund man, with a heavy, florid face and thin, gray hair, strolled up to us with a stealthy, self-assured gait, and wished Markham a jovial good evening. Though I had not met the newcomer, I knew him to be Charles Cleaver. “Got your note at the desk saying you wanted to sec me.” .He spoke with a voice curiously gentle for a man of his size; but, for all its gentleness, there was in it a timber of calculation and coldness. Markham rose and, after shaking hands, introduced him to Vance and me—though, it seemed, Vance had l known him slightly for some time. He took the chair Markham indicated, and. producing a cigar, he carefully cut the end with a gold clipper attached to his heavy watchchain. rolled the cigar between his lips to dampen it, and lighted it in closely cupped hands. “I’m sorry to trouble you. Mr. Cleaver,” began Markham, “but, as you probably have read, a young woman by the name of Margaret Odell was murdered last night in her apartment in Seventy-First St. . . He paused. He seemed to be considering just how he could best broach a subject so obviously delicate; and perhaps he hoped Cleaver would volunteer the fact of his acquaintance with the girl. But not A muscle of the man's face mwed; and, after a moment, Markham continued; “In making inquiries into the young woman’s life I learned that you, among others, were fairly well acquainted with her.” Again he paused. Cleaver lifted his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, but said nothing. “The fact is,” went on Markham, a trifle annoyed by the other’s deliberately circumspect atitude, “my report states that you were seen with her on many occasions during a period of nearly two years. “Indeed, the only inference to be drawn from what I’ve learned is that you were more than casually interested in Miss Odell.” “Yes?” The query was as noncommittal as it was gentle. “Yes,” repeated Markham. “And I may add. Mr. Cleaver, that this is not the time for pretenses or suppressions. “I am talking to you tonight, in large measure ex officio, because it

occurred to me that you could give me some assistance in clearing the matter up. “I think it only fair to say that a certain man is now under grave suspicion, and we hope to arrest him very soon. But, in any event, we will need help, and that is why I requested this little chat with you at the club.” “And how can I assist you?” Cleaver’s face remained blank; only his lips moved as he put the question. “Knowing this young woman as well as you did,” explained Markham patiently, “you are no doubt in possession of some information —certain facts or confidences, let us say—which would throw light on her brutal and apparently unexpected, murder.” Cleaver was silent for some time. His eyes had shifted to the wall before him, but otherwise his features remained set. “I’m afraid I can’t accommodate you,” he said at length. “Your attitude is not quite what might be expected in one whose conscience is entirely clear,” returned Markham, with a show of resentment. The man turned a mildly inquisitive gaze upon the district attorney. “What has my knowing the girl to do with her being murdered? “She didn't confide in me who her murderer was to be. She didn't even tell me that she knew any one who intended to strangle her. “If she’d known, she most likely could have avoided being murdered.” Vance w r as sitting close to me, a

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

little removed from the others, and, leaning over, murmured in my ear: “Markham’s up against another lawyer—poor dear! ... A crumplin’ situation.” But, however inauspiciously this interlocutory skirmish may have begun it soon developed into a grim combat which ended in Cleaver’s complete surrender. Markham, despite his suavity and graciousness, was an unrelenting and resourceful antagonist; and it was not long before he had forced from Cleaver some highly significant information. In response to the man’s ironically evasive rejoinder, he turned quickly and leaned forward. “You’re not on the witness-stand in your own defense, Mr. Cleaver,” he said sharply, “however much you appear to regard yourself as eligible for that position.” Cleaver glared back fixedly without replying; and Markham, his eyelids level, studied the man opposite, determined to decipher all he could from the other’s phlegmatic countenance. But Cleaver was apparently Just as determined that his vis-a-vis should decipher absolutely nothing; and the features that met Markham’s scrutiny were as arid as a desert. At length Markham sank back In his chair. “It doesn't matter particularly.” he remarked indifferently, “whether you discuss the matter or not here in the club tonight. “If you prefer to be brought to my office in the morning by a sheriff with a subpoena. I’ll be only too glad to accommodate you.”

“That’s up to you,” Cleaver told him, hostilely. “And what's printed in the newspapers about it will be up to the reporters,” rejoined Markham. “I’ll explain the situation to them and give them a verbatim report of the interview.” - “But I’ve nothing to tell you.” The other’s tone was suddenly conciliatory; the idea of publicity was evidently highly distasteful to him. “So you informed me before,” said Markham coldly. “Therefore, I wish you good evening.” He turned to Vance and me with the air of a man who had terminated an unpleasant episode. Cleaver, however, made no move to go. He smoked thoughtfully for a minute or two; then he gave a short, hard laugh which did not even disturb the contours of his &face. “Oh, hell! he grumbled, with forced good nature. “As you said, I’m not on the witness stand. . . . What do you want to know?” “I’ve told you the situation.” Markham’s voice betrayed a curious iritation. “You know the sort of thing I want. How did this Odell girl live? Who were her intimates? Who would have been likely to want her out of the way? What enemies had she?—Anything that might lead us to an explanation of her death.

“And, incidentally,” he added, with tartness, “anything that’ll eliminatte yourself from any suspected participation, direct or indirect, in the affair.” Cleaver stiffened at these last words and started to protest indignantly. But immediately he changed his tactics. Smiling contemptuously, he took out a leather pocket case and, extracting a small folded paper, handed it to Markham. (To Be Continued)
