Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, u Se oni Class Mali Matter. : , - - Limiting Campaign Expenses

Congress is taking: a hand to check profligate campaign expenses. . The senate elections suhcommitlec has completed .the draft of a bill which will he hurried through both houses. It is the mo?t drastic measure of" Its kind that has been presented in the national legislature.. Individuals are limited to a $5,000 contribution; corporations are barred from giving gifts; elec

tion betting and advertising of

felonies; contributions to a national committee are limited to $1,500,000 ; adv ertfsements must bear the name of the committee or individual that inserts the notice. It is high time that campaign contributions were curbed. The excessively large amount of money dumped into Ohio during the last campaign to swing that state into the Republican column leaves the inference that some of the money went for purposes that perhaps might not stand the acid test of rectitude. Give a committee an unlimited amount of money, and the chances are ten to one that the committee will be tempted to indulge in practices that are corrupt and dishonest. Leaders of both parties, according to dispatches from Washington, have agreed to push the bill along to a vote. The desire of political leaders to see the measure enacted into law indicates that both parties see the folly of spending millions of dollars to win an election. If the law is enacted, we hope that strict enforcement of its provisions will follow,

THE GOLD OF BY ARTHUR B. REEVE

VWiile he was gone, it occurred to me to take up again the hunt for Alfonso. Norton was not in his little office, nor could I find Alfonso anywhere about the campus. In fact he seemed to. have almost dropped out of htp University work for the time. Accordingly. I turned my steps toward the Prince .Edward Albert Hotel, in the hope that he might be there. Inquiries of the clerk at the desk 1oid me that he had been there, but was out Just at that moment. I did not see Whitney around, nor the Renora, so I sat down to wait, having nothing better to do until Kennedy's return. T was about to give it up and go. when I heard a cab drive up to the door and, looking up, I baw Alfonso get out. He saw me about the same time and we bowed. I do not think he even tried to avoid me. "I haven't seen you for some time," I remarked, searching his face, which seemed to me to be paler than it had been. "No, Tie replied. "I haven't been feeling very well lately and I've been rimning up Into the country now and then to a quiet hotel a sort of rest cure, I suppose you would call it.- How are you? How Is Senorita Inez?" "Very well," I Teplled. wondering whether he had said what he did in the hope of establishing a complete alibi for the events of the night before. Briefly I told him what had happened, omitting reference to the vocaphone and our real part in it. - "That le terrible," he exclaimed. "Oh If she would only allow me to. take csre of her I would take her back to our own country, where she would be' safe, far nway from these people who seek to prey on all of us." He paced up and down nervously, and I could see that my Information had added nothing to-his peace of m!nd. though, at the same-time, he had betrayed nothing on.his part. "I was Just, passing through," I said finally, looking at my watch, "and happened to see ycu. 1 hope your mother is well?" "As well as Is to be expected, surrounded by people who watch every act," he replted, I thought with a rap at U8 for having Norton about and so uctlve, though 1 could not be sure. We separated, and I hastened back to the laboratory to report' to Craig fit Alfonso was rusticating for his health. Kennedy, on his part, had bad an experience, though it was no more conclusive than my own. After ho had Wt the tobacco district, he had walki' up Wall Street to the subway.

Treacherous Automobilists C . Perhaps the most contemptible autoist is the man who will drive past a street car' while it is discharging, passengers at a street corner. Hundreds of automobile owners in Richmond do this regularly and without a thought , for the lives

He had turned and followed her until she entered the building in which Whitney and his associates had their offices. Whether it indicated that she was still leading them a chase, or they her, was impossible to determine, but it at Jeast showed that they were Btlll on friendly terms with each other In the laboratory he could always find eomethlng to do on the case, either In perfecting his chemical tests of the various drugs we had discovered, or in trying to decipher some similarities in the rough printing of the four warnings and the anonymous letter with the known handwriting of those connected with the case, many specimens of which he had been quietly collecting. That in itself was a tremendously minute Job, entailing not only a vast amount of expert knowledge such as he had collected in his years of studying crime scientifically, but the most exact measurements and careful weighing and balancing of trifles, which to the unscientific conveyed no meanings at all. Still, he seemed to be forging ahead, though he never betrayed what direction the evidence seemed to be taking. . The package 0T cigarettes which he had ordered downtown-was delivered about an hour after his return and seemed to be the signal for him to drop work, for the meeting with Lockwood and Whitney had been set early. He stowed the package in his pockets and then went over to a cabinet In which he kept a number of rather uncommon drugs. From it he took a little vial which he Bhoved into his waistcoat pocket. . "Are you ready,' Walter?" he asked "Whenever you are," I said, laying aside my writing. Together we made our way down to the Mendoza apartment which had been the scene of the. near-tragedy the night before. Outside, he paused for several moments to make inquiries about any suspicious persons that might have been seen lurking about the neighbourhood. None of the attendants in the apartments remember I We Have i COAL Burn PHONES: 2015-2016

Sailings to Be Kept Secret . The Allies will gain nothing by withholding the dates of sailings of British vessels from American ports. . German submarines have not depended on the sailing lists for information to guide their attacks. A submarine cpmmander lurks in the lanes used by trading vessels and if one comes within reach of a German, torpedo it will be blown up. The Entente Powers have had no end of trouble censoring news and keeping the world from knowing what was going on, but the news has always leaked. And so it may be that the withholding of the dates of sailings may be answered by an unprecedented amount of submarine activity.

"How do you feel after your thrilling experience?" greeted Craig pleasantly;-as Juanita admitted us and Inez came forward "Oh, Mr. Lennedy," she answered, with a note of sadness in her tone. "It makes me feel so alone in the world. If it were not for 'Nita and you, I don't know what I should do." "Doesn't Mr. Lockwood count?" asked Kennedy observantly. "Of course everything," she answered hastily. "But he has to be away so much on business; and " She paused and sighed. I could not held wondering whether, after all, his explanation of the dagger episode had been enough to satisfy her. Had she really accepted it?

She had left the room for a moment and we were alone. .'It' was evidently a part of his plan, for no sooner was she gone than he opened the package of, cigarettes ' which he had ordered and took out from the box In which Mendoza had kept his cigarettes those that were' there, substituting those he had brought. We had not long to watt, now. Lockwood and Whitney came together I was interested to see the greeting of Inez and her lover. Was it pure fancy, or did I detect a trace of coldness as though there had sprung up something between them? As far as Lockwood was concerned, , I felt sure that he was eager to break down any barrier that kept them from being as they had been. Whitney took her hand and held it, In a playful sort of way. "I wish I were a young buck," he smiled. "No one would dare look at you much less try to carry you off. Yes, we must be more careful of our little beauty, or we shall lose her." They turned to greet us. I felt, as we shook hands, that it was much the same sort of handshake that one sees in the prize ring to be followed by the clang of a bell, then all going to It, in battle royal, with the devil after the hindmost.
