SAY PUBLIC HEEDLESS OF EXPENSIVE SIGNS WARNING OF DANGER The -wit who declares he "doesn't believe In signs" Is tie same man. who, when he. becomes an automobile driver, disregards caution signs and danger signals and who ends In a hospital or, is a candidate for a "rea-qulescat.-.in . pace slab in the local cemetery, according to a statement just issued by M. C. Noblet. secretary, manager of the Hoosier State Automobile association. Mr; Noblefs statement was occasioned-by reports of recent rail cross

ing accidents at spots wnere tne state auto association had erected large and conspicuous "Dangerous Crossing signs to supplement the cross arm signs of the railway company. "People take their lives in their hands, when they fail to stop, look and listen," declared Mr. Noblet "This has been stated so often that it is trite, but the truth of it is demonstrated every day and every week. The Hoosier State Auto association, with its limited finances, had attempted to mark some f the deadly crossings and could mark them all if we could get even a 50 per cent support from owners of motor vehicles in Indiana. 'Need More, More. "Not a day passes but what we have requests and demands that we erect special danger signs at certain localities, widely separated all over Indiana. To attempt to accede to these requests would require a fund of not less than $15,000. and perhaps more. , We have found that sign painters do not work for nothing, and we have no good fairy to wish on us the touch of Middas. "In short, the work we are accomplishing is done from our membership fees and the more memberships throughout the state the more constructive work can be accomplished for the benefit and protection of all owners of automobiles and the public as well. "I trust the man who drives an automobile will understand that it 6hould be a part of his duty to assist us in

our civic work. I hope, also, mat mis will explain to the 'persons who are making the increasing demand for danger signs, why we can not always Jump to granting the request, much as we would like to do so." Mr. Noblet stated the auto association fostered the new law which requires special railway warning signs to be erected 300 feet back from a railroad crossing to supplement the regular cross-arm 6igns. . These signs are now appearing in several sections of the state, although their erection has not become general by any means, it is stated. I ASK GOSHEN MAYOR FOR HIS RESIGNATION GOSHEN, Ind.. July 28. At a secret session of council last night, formal demand was made upon Mayor William H. Charney for his resignation. A " communication addressed to him, signed by six -of the seven aldermen, says that the best interests of the city demand bis retirement as mayor and that If he does not resign by the time a special meeting of council is held Friday evening, impeachment proceedins will be started against him. Differences between Mayor Charnley and several of his appointees, long of threatening proportions, reached a crisis yesterday when the mayor demanded the resignations of Amasa G. Hoovens, president of the board of public works, ex-councilman and recently defeated for. the Republican nomination for mayor, and Guy W. Daussman, -city attorney, who is chairman of the Republican county central committee. They refused to resign. Wants Utilities Head Removed. All city officials are Republicans. Nathan W.

The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet By SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE Copyright, 1921, by Harper & Bros. Published by special arrangement with The McCIure Newspaper Syndicate,

PART FOUR. Fairbanks was a good-sized square house of white stone, standing back a little from the road. A double carriage-sweep, with a snow-clad lawn, stretched down in front to the two large iron gates which closed the entrance. On the right -side was a small wooded thicket which led Into a narrow path between the two neat hedges stretching from the road to the kitchen door, and forming the tradesmen's entrance. On the left ran a

lane which led to the stables, and was not itself within the grounds at all, being a public, though little used tho-r oughfare. Holmes left us standing at the door and walked slowly all round the house, -across the front, down the tradesmen's path, and so round by the garden behind the stable lane. So long was he that Mr. Holder and I went into the dining room and waiteJ by the fire until he should return. We were sitting there in silence when a door opened and a young lady came In. She was rather above the middle height slim, with dark hair and eyes, which seemed darker against the absolute pallor of her skin. I do not think I have ever seen such a deadly paleness in a woman's face. Her lips, too, were bloodless, but her eyes were flushed with crying. As she swept silently into the room, she impressed me wfth a greater sense of grief than the banker had done in the morning, and It was more striking in her, as she was evidently a woman of strong character, with immense capacity for self-restraint. Disregarding my presence, she went straight to her nncle, and passed her hand over his face with a sweet womanly carress. "You have given orders that Arthur should be liberated, have you not, dad?" she asked "No, no, my girl, the matter must be probed to the bottom." "But I am sure that he is Innocent You know what women's instincts are.

I know that he has done no harm and

that you will be sorry for having act

ed so harshly."

"Why is he silent, then, ir ne is

innocent?" ;

"Who knows? Perhaps because he

was so angry that you should suspect him."

"How could I help suspeclng him.

when I actually saw him with the coronet -in his hand?"

"Oh. but he had only picked it up

to look at it. Oh. do. do take my word for if that he is innocent Let the matter drop and say no more. It is so dreadful to think of our dear Ar

thur In prison!" "I shall never let it drop until the gems are found never. Mary! Tour affection for Arthur blinds you as to the awful consequences to me. Far from hushing the thing up, I have brought a gentleman down from London to inquire more deeply into it."

"This gentleman? ' she asKea, lac

ing round to me.

"No. his friend. He wished us

to leave him alone. He is round in he stable lane now."

"The stable lane?V she. raised her dark eyebrows. "What can he hope to find there? Ah! this, I suppose, is he. I trust, sir, that you will succeed in proving, what I feel sure is the truth, that my cousin Arthur Is innocent of any crime." "I fully share your opinion, and I trust, with you. that we may prove it" returned Holmes, going back to the mat to knock the snow from his shoes. "I believe I have the honor of addressing Miss Mary Holder. May I ask you a question or two?"

. FARMER, ALBERTA PREMIER.

CALGARY, . Alberta, July 28. H. Greenfield, a farmer, Wednesday was elected premier of the province of Alberta by the provincial Legislature, in winch the farmers control the government. He is a native of England.

"Pray do. sir, If it may help to clear this horrible affair up." "You heard nothing yourself last night?" "Nothing, until my uncle here began to speak loudly. I heard that and I came down." "You shut the windows and the doors the night before. Did you fasten all the windows?" "Yes." "Were they all fastened this "morning?" . . -"Yes."

"You have a maid who has a sweet-1 heart? I think that you remarked to your uncle last night that she had been out to see him?" "Yes, and she was the girl who waited in the drawing room, and who may have heard uncle's remarks about the coronet" "I see. You infer that she may have gone out to tell her sweetheart, and that the two may have planned the robbery." "But what is the good of all these vague theories," cried the banker, impatiently, "when I have told you that I saw Arthur with the coronet in his hands?" "Wait a little, Mr. Holder. We must come back to that v About this girl, Miss Holder. You saw her return by the kitchen door, I perseume?" . "Yes, when I went to see if the door was fastened for the night, I met her slipping in. I saw the man, too. in the gloom." "Do you know him?" "Oh yes; he is the green-grocer who brings our vegetables round. His name is Francis Prosper." v "He stood," said Holmes, "to the left of the door that is to say, farther up the path than - is necessary to reach the door?" "Yes. he did." "And he is a man with a wooden leg?"

Something like fear sprung up in the young lady's expressive black eyes. "Why, you are like a magician," she said. "How do you know that?" She smiled, but there was no answering smile in Holmes's thin, eager face. "I should be very glad now to goupstairs," said he. "I probably shall wish to go over the outside of the house again. Perhaps" I had better take a look at the lower windows before I go up." He walked swiftly round from one to the other, pausing only at the large one which looked from the hall onto the stable lane. This he opened, and made a very careful examination of the sill with his powerful magnifying lens. "Now we shall go upstairs," said he, at last The banker's . dressing room was a

plainly furnished little chamber, with a gray carpet a large bureau, and a long mirror. Holmes went to the bureau first and looked hard at the lock. "Wbicr key was used to open it?" he asked. That which ray son himself indicated that of the cubbard of the lumber-room." "Have you it here?" "That is it it on the dressing-table." Sherlock Holmes took it up and opened the bureau. "It is a noiseless lock," said he. "It is no wonder that it did not wake you. This case, I presume is the coronet We must have a look at it" He opened the case and taking out the diadem, he laid it upon the table. It was a magnificent specimen of the jeweler's art, and the thirty-six stones were the

finest I have ever seen. At one side of the coronet was a cracked edge, where a corner holding three gems had been torn away. "Now, Mr. Holder, said Holmes" here is the corner which corresponds to that which has been so unforaunately lost May I beg that you will break it off." The banker recoiled in horror. "I should- not dream of trying." said he. "Then I will." Holmes suddenly bent his strength upon it but without result. "I feel It give a little," said he; "but though I am exceptionally strong in the fingers, it would take me all my time to break it. An ordinary man could not do it. Now, what do you think would happen if I did break it Mr. Holder? There would be a noise like a pistol shot. Do you tell me that

all this happened within a few yards of your bed, and that you heard nothing of it?" "I do not know what toxthink. It is all dark to me." "But perhaps it may grow lighter as e go. What do you think. Miss Holder?" "I confess that I still share my uncle's perplexity." "Your son had ho shoes or slippers on when you saw him?" "He had nothing on save only his trousers and shirt" "Thank you. We have certainly been favored with extraordinary luck during this inquiry, With your permission, Mr. Holder, I will now continue my inveeitgatiohs outside." He went alone, at his own request for he explained that any unnecessary foot marks might make his task more difficult. For an hour or more he was at work, returning at last with his feet heavy with snow, and his features as inscrutable as ever. "I think that I have seen now all that there is to see, Mr. Holder. I

ean serve you best by returning to my rooms." "But the gems, Mr. Holmes. Where are they?" ' The uanker wrung his hands. I shall never see them again!" he cried. "And my son? You give me hopes?" "My opinion is in no way altered." "Then for God's sake, what was this dark business which was acted in my house last night?" "If you call upon me at my Baker Street rooms tomorrow morning between nine and ten I shall be happy to do what I can to make it clearer. I understand that you give me capte blanche to act tor you, provided only that I get back the gems, and that you place no limit on the sum I may draw." "I would give my fortune to have them back." "Very good. I shall look into th matter between this and then. Goodbye; it is just possible that I may have to come over here again before evening." Tomorrow The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet continued.
