A Mystery Story of New York

By WILL IRWIN

(Continued from Friday.) "It was plain to us that the? i-ack-o contained the jewclj., and 'hat he Intended to dispose ,f th m .it nc prohaldy ti next murninp. That niKht the Jewels would br in his room and it wa.s our last chance. Juan came to o m- Just after dinner. "We talked it all over, and mad.- our tinal plany. In th first place. it f'-med h-itt for Juan to do the work himself. I am a woman, and very -weak with jrrief and Illness. I couli do nothing In ra. I was discovered. Though Juan had never been in the room. I rnuld tll him exactly whoro to look there seemed no doubt that Capt. Ilanska was keeping the strontfTiox for that very purpose. "Th-n we considered another thing how we should both t away. At first we decided that I should leave the house early, and that Juan, after fretting th jewels, .should follow me. Hut he did not dare to make the attempt before one or two o'clock in the morning, when Capt. Hanska would surely bo asleep even the heaviest sleepers sometime lie awake a long time after they go to bed. Mrs. Moore, we knew, was very watchful she was afraid of burglars and she had a habit of running to her door whenever any one entered or left durUg the night. She would knowthat I had gone out; if Juan left at fine or two In the morning, Mrs. Moore would take alarm, knowing as she did that I was out of the house. Being nervous and ignorant, she was likely, we felt, to seize him or to give jome sort of an alarm. We were thinking of every possibility, you see. These things are necessary for me to that you may understand what happened later." (This in answer to an objection of Inspector McGee. who was urging her to come to the point.) "At about 10 o'clock, we decided just what to do. "Juan and J are about of a size. I am large for a woman. He is mall for a man. We do not resemble each other in the upper part of the face, but our mouths and chins are very much alike, it was ne of our games at home to dress in each other's clothes. 1 would put on his ulster, pull his hat far down over my eyes, and fool people into believing that I was he. Further, his voice is light, and he can talk in falsetto. This was an old family game. We played eternally on the resemblance in the charade and theatricals that English people are always getting up. "This was our plan: we were to change clothes. We had heard people singing in the parlor all that evening. The boarders all knew that Juan sometimes sang falsetto in fun. I was to watch my chance when the hall was vacant, pass the parlor, sing just a little In my own voice to make them believe I was Juan singing falsetto, and go to his rooms, where I was to wait. The night Wiw rainv. It was natural, therefore, that I should be bundb d up in a mackintosh and have my hat pulled down over my eyes. "Dressed in my clothes. Juan was to enter Capt. llanska's room, get the Jewels, leave by the door, go down the stairs, and join me. I used sometimes to get a little outdoor exercise in the early morning when I need not fear meeting Capt. Ilanska. and when most of the citv lights are out, so that the eyes have less strain. If Mrs. More waked, looked out, and saw Juan in my clothes, she would think it was I going for my exercise and

iaie no alarm. "In case Juan failed, lie was to go back to my room and telephone to me. speaking Spanish and Imitating my voice. Then, still dressed as Jiiii. I was to return to Mrs. Moore's early next morning and change clothes but that part of our plan does not matter. "We began everything just as we planned. As I went down the stairs. I parsed Mrs. Moore. In the hall, 1 saw a young man Mr. Wade. I believe. T showed myself at the door and looked in. and sang a little. By the way they laughed and spoke, I knew that I had deceived them. "I went straight to Juan's rooms. The elevator man in his hotel was fooled just as much as the boarders, it seems. I waited there a lone: time. Then Juan telephoned to me. talking in Spanish and calling me Juan, as If he were I. He said that Capt. Hanska had been murdered and for me to come at once to him that he needed me he said it all as a hysterical woman Mould. Somehow J managed to do as he asked. I had to pass Capt. TTanska's door. I heard people making a noise outside. Of course I did not enter. Cut right by the door I saw something bright. I knew it at nce L was one of my diamond buckles one of the Jewels which Capt. Ilanska had stolen from me. I puked it up, and went on to my room. Juan nas there in my dress, lie kept me from fainting or dying while we changed back to our own clothes. I know the rest from Juan. Shall I tell it?"

Frm the window of the lumber-room, he crawled to the Mre-escape. That window had a sprinc-catch you had only to pull it down and it locked of itself. Since he intended to have Capt. Hanska's room by the door, he Hosed this window behY.d him in order to cover up his tracks. That window f the captain's room which V-d to the tire-escape, was open for epilation. The rain w as drifting through It. Tt occurred to Juan that everything would be safer If h closed it he was afraid, that a gust of wind might blow spray into Capt. Tianska's face, and wake him. He did that; and he fastened the sash with

the catch, ("apt. Ilanska wa.s asleo, breathing very heavily. Jtemembr that. "Von have seen the room. The bureau where I found the strong-'jox. was In the corner farthest from the window which Juan had just entered. Between it and the window were a table and Capt. llanska's bed. Juan carried our pocket electric torch. He turned it on the inside of the top bureau drawer. The box was there. Also, the key was in its lock. Juan thought it would be better to take the Jewels out and leave the box. Hy doing that he could find whether the bill of sale was with the Jewels, or whether he would have to search further for it. That was his great mistake. It was a trick box. Inside was an alarm-bell which rang whenever tho cover was lifted. "Juan opened it: the bell rang. Capt. ilanska awoke at once. Juan had no time to move, before Capt. Hanska pressed the button at the head of his bed and turned on the electric light. It trust have bewildered him for a moment when he saw what appeared to be a woman standing by his bureau but Juan held the strongbox in his hands. When he saw that, the captain came at him. Juan is a small man. Capt. Ilanska was big and ver.y powerful. Just then, Juan sawon the table between them that great knife. "Juan is a swordsman lie picked up the knife to stop the captain by threatening Mm Kith it held the point toward his chest. Capt. Hanska was a brave man. and very violent in anger. He had one of his terrible spells of temper now. He began to curse Juan. And then his hands went up to his head all of a sudden, and he tumbled over with all his great weight on the point of the knife. Juan did not thrust he is sure now he did not thrust he only held the knife steady but It pierce Capt. Hanska through." (In this place. Detective Kennedy had to edit the statement a great deal In order to make it seemly for the official archives.) CTo be continued Monday.)

WILSON AFFIXES

fi S S GUM

TO TARIFF BILL

Tells Members Present That Reform is Needed if They Would Do Away With Power to Create Monopolies.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. Surrounded by the leaders of a united democracy. Pres. Wilson signed the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill at 9:03 Friday night at the white house. Simultaneously telegrams were sent to customs collectors throughout the country by the treasury department putting into actual operation the first democratic tariff revision since 1S94. A happy group of legislators, members of the cabinet, and friends encircled the president, as he smilingly sat down, slowly affixed his signature with two gold pens. He presented to Rep. Underwood the pen that had written the word "Woodrov." and the one which had completed his name to Sen. Simmons, both of whom "bowed their appreciation. In impressive silence, the president rose and delivered in easy, natural tones, an extemporaneous speech that brought prolonged applause. Wants Currency Reform. The president declared that the journey of legislative accomplishment had only been partly completed: that a great service had been done for the rank and file of the country, but that the second step in the emancipation business was currency reform. He earnestly called upon his colleagues to go "the rest of the journe with fresh impulse." "Gentlemen, I feel a very peculiar pleasure," said the president, "in what I have just done by way of taking a part in the completion of a great piece of business. It is a pleasure which is very hard to express in words which are adequate to express the feeling: because the feeling that I have is, that we have done the rank and file of the people of this country a great service. It is hard to speak of these things without seeming to go off Into campaign eloquence, but that is not my feeling. "It Is one very profound, a feeling of profound gratitude that working with the splendid men who have carded this thing through with studious attention and doing justice all around. I should have had part in serving the people op this country as we have been striving to serve them ever since I can remember. A lloyih Ambition. "I have had" the accomplishment of something like this at heart since I was a boy and I know men standing around me who can say the same thing who have been waiting to see the things done which it was necessarv to do in order that there might be justice in the United States. And so it is a solemn moment that brings such a business to a conclusion and I hope I will not be thought to be demanding too much of myself or of my colleagues, when I sav that this, great as it is. is the accomplishment of only half the journey. "We have set the business of this country free from those conditions which have made monopoly not only possible, but in a sense easy and natural. Hut there is no use taking away the conditions of monopoly if we do not take away also the power to create monopoly, and that is a financial, rather than a merely circumstantial ynd economic power. "Tho. power to control and guide and direct the credits of the country is th power to say who shall and who shall not build up the industries of the country, in whkh direction they shall be built, and in which direction tin y shall not be built. We are now about to take the second, which will ! the final step In setting the business of this country free. "That la what we shall do ia the

currency bill, which the house has already passed and which I have the utmost confidence the senate will pass much sooner than some pessimistic individuals believe." Happy and jubilant the invited guests came to the executive oflices. Vice Pres. Marshall was ushered into the president's office followed by Speaker Clark. Rep. Underwood and members of the cabinet and congressional committees and their friends. No photographers were admitted as the president regarded the occasion as too solemn to be disturbed by flashlight apparatus. The guests crowded about tho president's desk over which an electric lamp threw a bright glow. Nine O'clock Was Chosen. "I chose 9 o'clock," explained the president slowly, "on the advice of the attorney general in order that the bill mlgit be signed after business transactions everywhere, including Sa Francisco, had closed for the day. Leading figures of the democratic party Speaker Clark, Secy. Bryan, Itep. Underwood. stood together, bponfcors with the president for the first big piece of legislation that had been accomplished in the democratic program of reform. They gave the president their personal congratulations and reiterated promises of support. "We'll be coming here again in a short time to seethe currency bill signed," said .Secy. Dryan. Secy. McAdoo spoke with equal confidence. While the president was surrounded by members of his official family, there was none happier than Joseph R. Wilson, younger brother of the chief executive, who came here from Baltimore tonight to witness the signing. Mrs. Wilson and daughters are still at Cornish, N. H., the summer capital. Besides the officials a large number of newspaper men crowded into the president's office. There was an informal reception for a few minutes and then the Underwood -Simmons tariff law was carried away to the department of the state and deposited in the archives along with other historic pieces of legislation. The speed with which congress disposed of the last work of the tariff bill and sent the measure to the white house demonstrated the anxiety of house and senate to get through with the burden that had held them in continuous session since April. Germany will be the first nation to take advantage of that section of the new tariff act which provides for the negotiation of reciprocity arrangements embodying mutual concessions in customs taxes. Alread the initial steps have been taken to secure such an arrangement.
