A minute later we were all seated in a comfortable landau; and were rattling through the quaint old Devonshire city, Inspector Gregory was full of case, and poured out a stream of remarks, while Holmes threw in aa occasional question or interjection.

(By Associated Press) PORTLAND,' Ore.; May 18. Robert S. Gill, executive secretary of ,the Loyal legion of loggers and. lumbermen -resigned today -announcing he had accepted a call-from the typothetae of Baltimore, Md., to aid in establishing an organization in the printing industry of Baltimore along the lines the Loyal legion operates among the Joggers and lumbermen of the northwest. . ; "The Loyal'Logioh of Loggers and Lumbermen was a spontaneous growth of the war resulting from the pfforts in spruce production," said Gill. "Its plan Is based on equal representation of employers and -employes, iu the councils qf the organization. This idea appealed to the. Baltimore Typothetae and members of that organization plan to make their body a nucleusfor spreading the plan to other cities." ....

which was almost exactly what Holmes had foretold in the train. "The net is drawn pretty close round Fitzroy Simpson," he remarked, "and I believe myself that he is our man. At the same time I recognize that the evidence is purely circumstantial, and that some new development may upset it." -T "How about Etrake's knife?" "We have quite come to the conclusion that he wounded himself in his fall." "My" friend, Dr Watson, made that suggestion to me as we came down. Tf so, it would tell against this man Simpson." "Undoubtedly. He has neither a knife nor any sign of a wound. The evidence against his is. certainly very strong. He had a great interest in the disappearance of the favorite. Ho lies under suspicion of having poisoned the. stable-boy, he was undoubtedly out in the storm, he was firmed with n heavy stick, and his cravat was found in the dead man's hand. I really think we have enouph to go before a jury." Holmes shook his head. "A clever counsel would tear it all to rags," said he. "Why should he take the

Lhorxe out of the stable? If he wished

io injure it why could he not do it there? Has a duplicate key been found in his possession? What chemist sold him tue powdered opium? Above all, -where could he, a stranger to the district, hide a horse, and such a horse as this? What is his own explanation as to the paper which he wished the maid to give to the stableboy?" "He says, that it was a ten-pound note. One was found in his purse. But your other difficulties are not so formidable as they seem. He is not. a stranger to the district. He has twice lodged at Tavistock in the summer. The opium was probably brought from London. The key, having served its purpose, would be hurled away. The horse may be at the bottom of one of the pits or old mines upon the moor."

"What does he say about the cra-

He acknowledges that it is his, and

declares that he had lost it. But a new element has been introduced into the case which may account for his leading the horse from the stable.'' Holmes pricked up his ears. "We have found traces which show that a party of gypsies encamped on Monday night within a mile of the spot where the murder took place. On Tuesday they were gone. Now, presuming that there was some understanding between Simpson and these

gypsies, might he not have been lead

we must certainly not neglect. As Desborough, their horse, was second in the betting they had an interest in the disappearance of the favorite. Silas Brown, the trainer, is known to have had large bets upon, the event, and be was no friend to poor Straker.

We have, however, examined the sta-

Dies, and there is nothing to connect him with the affair." "And nothing to connect this man Simpson with the interests of the Mapleton stable?" "Nothing at all." ' Holmes leaned back in the carriage,. and the conversation ceased. A few minutes later our driver pulled up at a neat little red-brick villa with overhanging aves which stood by the road. Some distance off. across a paddock, lay a long gray-tiled outbuilding. In every other direction the low curves of the moor, bronze-colored from the fading ferns, stretched away to the skyline, broken only by the steeples of Tavistock, and by a cluster of houses away to the westward which marked the Mapleton stables. We all sprang out with the exeption of Holmes, who continued to lean back with his eyes fixed upon the sky in front of him. entirely absorbed in his own- thoughts. It was only when I touched, his arm that he roused himself with a violent start and stepped out of the carriage. "Excuse me," said he, troning to Colonel Ross, who had looked at him

in some surprise. I was day-dreaming." There was a gleam in his eyes and a . suppressed excitement in his manner which convinced me, used as I was to his ways that his hand was upon the clue, though I could not imagine where he had found it. "Perhaps you would prefer at once to go to the scene of the crime, Mr. Holmes?" said Gregory. "I think I should prefer to stay here a little and go into one or two questions of detail. Straker was brought here. I presume?" "Yes: he lies upstairs. The inquest is tomorrow." "He has been in your service sonic years. Colonel Ross?" "I have always found him an excellent servant." "I presume that you made an -inventory of what he had in his pockets at the time of his death. Inspector?" "I have the things themselves in the sitting-room, if you would care to see them." "I should be very glad. We all filed into the front room and sat round the central table while the Inspector unlocked a square tin box and laid a small heap of things before us. There

was a box of vestas, two inches ot tallow candle, an A. D. P. brier-root pipe, a pouch of seal-skin with an ounce of long-cut Cavendish, a silver watch with a gold chain, five sovereigns in .gold, an aluminum pencil case, a few papers, and ivory-handled knife with a very delicate, inflexible blade marked Weiss & Co., London. "This is a very singular knife," said Holmes, lifting it up and examining it minutely. "I presume, as I see bloodstains upon it, that it is the one which was found in the dead man's grasp.

Watson, this knife is surely in jour liner ... . !

"It is that we call a cataract Tcnife," said I. . "I thought so. O very delicate blade devised for very delicate work. A strange thing for a man to carry with him upon a rough expedition, especially as it would not shut in his pocket." "The tip was guarded ly a disk of cork which we found beside his body," faid the Inspector. "His wife tells us that the knife had lain upon the dressing-table, and that he had picked it up as he left the room. It wes a poor weapon, but perhaps the beet that be could lay his hands on at the moment:" "Very possibly. How about these papers?" "Three -of them are receipted haydealers' accounts. One of them is a letter of instructions from Colonel Ross. This other is a milliner's account for thirty-seven pounds fifteen made out by Madame Lesurier, of Bond street, to William Derbyshire. Mrs. Strsker tells us that Derbyshire was a friend of her husband's, an? that occasionally his letters were addressed here."

"Madame Derbyshire had somewhat expensive tastes " remarked Holmes, glancing down the account. "Twenty-two guineas is rather heavy for a single costume. However, there appears tc be nothing more to learn, and we may now go down to the scene of the crime." As we emerged from the sittingroom a woman, who had been waiting in the passage, took a step forward and laid her hand upon the Inspector's

sleeve. He face was haggard and thin and eager, stamped with the print of a recent horror, "Have you got them? Have you found them?" she panted. "No, Mrs. Straker. But Mr. Holmes here has come from London to help us, and we shall do all that is possible." 'Surely I met you in Plymouth at a garden-party some little time ago, Mrs. Straker?" said Holmes. "No, sir; you are mistaken." "Dear me! Why, I coifid havo sworn to it. You wore a costume of dove-colored silk with ostrich-feather

trimimng." "I never had such a dress, sir," answered the lady. "Ah, that quite settles it," said Holmes. And with an apology he followed the Inspector outside. A short walk across the moor took us to the hollow in which the body had been found. At the brink of it was the furze-bush upon which the coat had been hung. Tomorrow Silver Blaze, continued

RED SYMPATHIZERS ATTEMPT ROUGHHOUSE ON MEXICAN SOLONS

(By Associated Fresa) - MEXICO CITY, May 18 Radical sympathizers attempted to force their way into the chamber of deputies last night to attack members of the Liberal. Constitutionalist . party who were holding a caucus there. - The men engaged in the disorder were dispersed, by the fire department. The streets near the congressional building. were filled all the afternoon with idly curious people who were awaiting developments. Aurella Manrique. a Socialist deputy, made an impassioned harangue, and. large numbers gathered to break into the chamber. The timely arrival of the firemen stopped the demonstration and the radicals transferred their activities to Alameda park, in the center

of the city, but the firemen again interfered and the crowd was dispersed. One Socialist deputy who re

monstrated with policemen was arrested. In the meantime the members of the Liberal Constitutionalist party had left the building. Some of them were openly carrying arms, but there were no attacks made upon them. An explanation was made later in the evening that there was no attempt to prohibit Socialist deputies from entering the chamber, but that the doors bad been closed to forestall a possible demonstration by spectators. The crowds around the building, however, were led to believe there was governmental discrimination against the Socialists and in favor of their opponents. -
