Ohio News Flashes V

AKRON The 1.100 striking motormen nnd conductors o.f the Northern Ohio Traction and Electric company voted Monday night to arbitrate their wage controversy, but only on condition that the strikers be re-employed, and that Governor Harry L. Davi? he designated to name a third arbitrator. These tone! itior.?. company officials declare, draw the deadlock tighter. YOUNGSPOWN An attempt was made Monday to derail New York Central train Numbor 84, police say. A railroad tie. it is said was thrown across the tracks near Carson, between this city and Ashtabula. The pilot caught the lie and broke it. Had it slipped beneath the pilot the train would have been wrecked.

PART TWO. Holmes wrote a name upon a slip of paper and handed it to the Premier. "Exactly, It was he. And it is this letter this letter which may well mean the expenditure of a thousand millions and the lives of a hundred thousand men which has become lost in this unaccountable fashion." "Have you informed the sender?" "Yes, sir. a cipher telegram has been dispatched." "Perhaps he desires the publication of the letter." "No, sir, we have strong reason to believe that he already understands that he has acted in an indiscreet and hot-headed manner. It would be a greater blow to him and to his country than to us if this letter were to come out "If this is so, whose interest is it that the letter should come out? Why should anyone desire to steal it or to publish it?" "There, Mr. Holmes, you take me into regions of high international politics. But if you consider the European situation you will have no difficulty in perceiving the motive. Th'e whole of Europe is an armed camp. There is a double league which makes a fair balance of military power. Great Britain holds the scales. If Britain were driven into war with one confederacy, whether they joined in the war or not. Do you follow? ' "Very clearly. It is then the interest of the enemies of this potentate to secure and publish this letter, so as to make a breach between his country and ours?"

"Yes sir." "And to whom would this document be sent if it fell into the hands of an

enemy?" "To any of the great Chancelleries of Europe. It is probably speeding on its way thither at the present instant as fast as steam can take it." Mr. Trelawney Hope dropped his head on his chest and groaned aloud. The Premier placed his hand kindly upon his shoulder. "It is your misfortune, my dear fellow. No one can blame you. There is no precaution which you have neglected. Now, Mr. Holmes, you are in full possession of the facts. What course do you recommend?" Holmes shook his head mournfully. "You think, sir, that unless this document is recovered there will be war?" "I think it is very probable " "Then, sir, prapare for war." "That is . a hard saying, Mr. Holmes." "Consider the facts, sir. It is inconceivable that it was taken after eleventhirty at night, since I understand Mr. Hope and his wife were both in the room from that hour until the loss was found out. I was taken, then, yesterday evening, between seventhirty and eleven-thirty, probably near the earlier hour, since whoever took it evidently knew that it was there, and would naturally secure it as early as possible. Now, sir, if a document of this importance were taken at that hour, where can it be now? No one has any reason to retain it. It has been passed rapidly on to those who need it. What chance have we now to overtake or even to trace it? It is beyond our reach." The Prime minister rose from the settee. "What you say is perfectly logical, Mr. Holmes. I feel that the matter is indeed out of our hands.' "Let us presume, for argument's sake, that the document was taken by the maid or by the calet " "They are both old and tried servants." "I understand you to say that your room is on the second floor, that there is no entrance from without, and that from within no one could go up unobserved. It must, then be somebody iu the house who has taken it. To whom would the thief take it? To one of several international spies and secret agent, whose names are tolerably familiar to me. There are three who may be said to be the heads of their profession. I will begin my research

"I believe you are right. Mr. Holmes. ;

He would take so valuable a prize to headquarters with his own hands. I think that your course of action is an excellent one. Meanwhile, Hope, we cannot neglect all our other duties on account of this misfortune. Should there be any fresh developments during the day we shall communicate, with you, and you will no doubt let us know the results of your own inquiries." The two statesmen bowed and walked gravely from the room. Wben our illustrious visitors had departed Holmes lit his pipe in silence, nnd sat for some time lost in the deepest thought. I had opened the morning paper and was immersed in a sen

sational crime which had occurred in j London the night before, when myj friend gave an e xclamation. sprang to his feet, and laid his pipe down upon j the mantelpiece. j "Yes," said he, there is no better ' way of approaching it. The situation is desperate, but not hopeless. Even J now, if we could be sure which ot them has taken it, it is just possible that it

has not passed out of his hands i After all. it is a question of money I with these fellows, and I have tho . British treasury behind me. If it's on i

the market I'll buy it if it means another penny on the income-tax. It is conceivable that the fellow might hold it back to see what bids come from this side side before he tries his duck on the other. There are only those three capable of playing so bold a game there are Oberstein, La. Roth iere, and Eduardo Lucas. I will see each of them." I glanced at my morning paper. "Is that Eluard Lucas of Godolphia street?"

"Yes." i "You will not see him." I "Wby not?" "He was murdered in his house last J night." . j

This was the paragraph which I had been engaged in reading when he rose from his chairA crime of mysterious character was committed last night at 16 Godolphin street, one of the old-fashioned

and secluded rows of eighteenth cen-1 tury houses which lie between the j river and the Abbey, - almost in the j shadow of the great Tower of the , House of Parliament. This small but j select mansion has been inhabited for j some years by M Eduardo Lucas, j well known in soe'ety circles both on account of his charming personality and because he has the well-deserved

I reputation of being one of the best

of the house. He had been stabbed to the heart and must have died instantly. The knife with which the curved Indian dagger, plucked down from a trophy of Oriental arms which adorned one of the walls. Robbery does not appear to have been tie motive of the crime, for there had been no attempt to remove the valuable contents of the room. Mr. Eduordo Lucas was so well known sterrious and popular that his violent and mysterious fate will arouse painful and intense sympathy, in a widespread circle of friends. "Well, Watson, what do you make of this?" asked Holmes, after a long pause. "It is an am zing coincidence." "A coincidence! Here is one of ths three men whom we had named as possible actors in this drama, and he

meets a violent death during the very fore, for Lucas than for the others to

hours when we know that that drama was being enacted. The odds are enormous against its being coincidence. No figures could express them. No, my dear Watson, the two events are connected must be connected. It is for us to find the connection." "But now the official police must know all." "Not at all. They know all they see at Godolphin street. They know and shall know nothing of Whitehall Terrace. Only we know of both events, and can trace the relation between them. There is one obvious point which would, in any case, have turned my suspicions against Lucas. Godolphin street, Westminster, is only a few minutes' walk from Whitehall Terrace. The other secret agents whom I have named live in the extreme West End. It easier, thero-

Victor records and Victrola instruments are specially made to be used together. They are scientifically synchronized, and that is possible only because both are the products of the Victor Talking Maclyne Company.

It is only when you play Victor records on Victrola instruments that you get the benefit of the combined efforts of these master artists and master artisans. That is the only way to hear the greatest singers and instrumentalists in all the beauty of their art. There are Victrola instruments in great variety of styles from $25 to $1500.
