CHANGE JURISDICTION NAVAL OIL RESERVES

WASHINGTON. June 2. President Harding Wednesday signed an executive order transferring the naval oil reserves from the jurisdiction of the navy department to the interior department. Two of the reserves are located in California, one in Wyoming and one each in Colorado and Utah. The action was characterized in an announcement at the navy department as "the first of the big changes in the administration's policy of co-ordinating the work of the various departments." Navy to Be Heard. The order, which is effective at once stipulates that "no general policy as to drilling and reserving oil located in a naval reserve shall be changed or adopted except upon consultation and co-operation with the secretary or acting secretary of the navy." The action was recommended by Secretaries Der.by and Fall jointly, it was announced. It transfers to Secretary Fall the leasing of drilling rights in naval oil reserve No. 1 in California, the only naval reserve thus far opened to drilling in any way. Secretary Denby announced recently that leases would be granted on a percentage basis in this reserve, the plan being to sink offset wells and thus prevent operators from tapping the outer edge of the reserve by sinking wells just outside the boundary line. Bids for these leasing rights were to have been opened about April 26, but the action was postponed and the proposals will now be turned over to Secretary Fall.

In 1019 it was estimated that the total expenditure on lobacco in England was 81,169,000.

PART FOUR At Waterloo we were fortunate in catching a train for Leatherhead, where we hired a trap at the station inn. and drove for four or five miles through the lovely Surrey lanes. It was a perfect day, with a bright sun and a few fleecy clouds in the heavens. The trees and wayside hedges were just throwing out their first green shoots, and the air was full of the pleasant smell of the moist earth. To me at least there was a strange contrast between the sweet promise of the spring and this sinister quest upon which we were engaged. My companion sat in the front of the trap, his arms folded, his hat pulled down over his eyes and his chin sunk upon his breast, buried in the deepest thought, and pointed over the meadows. ' Look there!" said he. A heavily-timbered park stretched

"Yes, sir, that be the house of Dr. Grimesby Roylott," remarked the driver. "There is some building going on there," said Holmes; "that is where we are going." "There's the village," said the driver, pointing to a cluster of roofs some distance to the left; "but if you want to get to the house, you'll find it shorter to get over this stile, and so by the foot-path over the fields. There it is, where the lady is walking." "And the lady, I fancy, is Miss Stoner," observed Holmes shading his eyes. "Yes, I think we had better do as you suggest." We got off, paid our fare, and the trap rattled back on its way to Leatherhead. "I thought it as well," said Holmes, as we climbed the stile, "that this fellow should think we had come here as architects, or on some definite business. It may stop his gossip. Good afternoon. Miss Stoner. You see that we have been as good as our word." Our client of the morning had hurried forward to meet us with a face which spoke her joy. "I have been waiting so eagerly for you," she cried, shaking hands with us warmly. "All has turned out splendidly. Dr. Roylott has gone to town, and it is unlikely that he will be back before evening." "We have had the pleasure of making the doctor's acquaintance," said Holmes, and in a few words he sketched out what had occurred. Miss Stoner turned white to the lips as she listened. "Good heavens!" she cried, "he has followed me. then." "So it appears." "He is so cunning that I never know when I am safe from him. What will he say when he returns?" "He must guard himself, for he may

I find that there is some one more cun

ning than himself upon his track. You must lock yourself up from him tonight. If he is violent, we shall take you away to your aunt's at Harrow. Now, 'we must make the best use of our time, so kindly take us at once to the rooms which we are to examine." The building was of gray, lichenblotched stone, with a high central portion, and two curving wings, like the claws of a crab, thrown out on each side. In one of these wings the windows were broken, and blocked

with wooden boards, while the roof ! was partly caved in, a picture of ruin. The central portion was in little better j repair, but the .righthand block was ! comparatively modern, and the blinds Jin the windows, with tha blue smoke up from the chimneys, showed that ' this was where the family resided, i Some scaffolding had been erected against the end wall, and the stone- : work had been broken into, but there

! were no signs of any workmen at the ; moment of our visit. Holmes walked j slowly up and down the ill-trimmed

lawn, and examined with deep at- ' tention the outsides of the windows.

"This, I take it, belongs to the room in which you used to sleep, the center one to your sister's, and the one next to the main building to Dr. Roylott's chamber?" "Exactly so. But I am now sleeping in the middle one." "Pending the alterations, as I understand. By-the-way, there does not seem to be any very pressing need for repairs at that end wall." "There were none. I believe that

I it was an excuse to move me from my

room. "Ah! that is suggtstive. Now, on the other side of this narrow wing runs the corridor from which these three rooms open. There are windows in it, of course?" "Yes, but very small ones. Too narrow for any one to pass through." "As you both locked your dbors at night, your rooms were unapproachable from that side. Now, would you have the kindness to go into your room and bar your shutters." Miss Stoner did so. and Holmes, after a careful examination through the open wradow, endeavored in every way to force the shutter open, but without success. There was no slit through which a knife could be passed to raise the bar. Then with his lens

he tested the hinges, but they were of solid iron, built firmly into the massive masonry. "Hum!" said he, scratching his chin in some perplexity; "my theory certainly presents some difficulties. No one could pass these shutters if they were bolted. Well, we shall see if the inside throws any light upon the matter." A small side door led into the whitewashed corridor from which the three bedrooms opened. Holmes refused to examine the third chamber, so we passed at once to the second, that in which Miss Stoner was now sleeping, and in which her sister had met with her fate. It was a homely little room, with a low ceiling and a gaping fireplace, after the fashion of old country-houses. A brown chest of drawers stood in one corner, a narrow white-counterpaned bed in another.

and a dressing-table on the left-side

These articles, with

two small wicker-work chairs, made up all the furniture in the room, save for a square of Wilton carpet in the center. The boards round and the paneling of the walls were of brown, wormeaten oak, so old and discolored that

i some time In staring at it, and in run

ning his eye up and down the wall. Finally he took the bell-rope in his hand and gave it a brisk tug. "Why, it's a dummy," said he. "Won't it ring?" "No, it is not even attached to a wire. This Is very interesting. You can see now that it is fastened to a hook just above where the little opening for the ventilator is." "How very absurd! I never noticed that before." "Very strange!" muttered Holmes, pulling at the rope. "There are one or two very singular points about this room. For example, what a fool a builder must be to open a ventilator Into another room, when with the same trouble, he might have communicated with the outside air!" "That is also quite modern," said the lady. "Done about the same time as the bell-rope?" remarked Holmes. "Yes, there were several little changes carried out about that time." "They seemto have been of a most interesting character rummy bellropes, and ventilators which do not ventilate With your permission, Miss Stoner, we shall now carry our researches into the inner apartment."

CORN CONTESTANTS NAMES SENT MONDAY Names of those enrolled in the state five acre corn contest will be sent to the state headquarters Monday, County Agent J. L. Dolan announced Thursday. This five acre contest is fostered

by the state coru growers' association, ; which offers bronze, silver and gold medals for yields of , more than 75 ! bushels, 75 to 85, 85 to 100 bushels i and more than 100 bushels, respecI tively. . There were two bronze medal wini ners 'in Wayne county in 1920, Albert (Ferris and John Helms with yields of ! 77.8 and 77.9 bushels.

The first census on record was taken . by King Servius Tullius in 577 B. C. I when all Roman citizens were obliged j to report the amount of their property j and the number of their children and ! their slaves.

"It goes to the housekeeper's room." "It looks newer than the other things?" "Yes, it was only put there a couple of years ago." "Your sister asked for it, I suppose?" "No, I never heard of her using it. We used always to get what we wanted for ourselves." "Indeed, it seemed unnecessary to put so nice a bell-pull there.
