Senator Robert L. Moorhead, Indianapolis; Senator William A. Arnold, Salem, and Representative James L Day, East Chicago, would like to do something to curb ravenous landlords. Senator Arnold introduced at the July special session of the legislature a bill which would have made it a cause for court action if any landlord increased rent more than 25 per cent in one year. The bill had the indorsement of Stanley Wyckoff, then federal fair-price commissioner in Indiana. The bill was strangled in committee. Indianapolis.—The Indiana securities commission has ruled that the entire cost of floating a stock or securities issue, authorized by it under the new “blue-sky” law, must not exceed 20 per cent, and the commission will not permit the 20 per cent maximum in all Instances. It intends that at least 80 per cent of the money obtained from stocks or securities sales must go into the corporation’s treasury. The average per cent to be permitted for commissions, advertising and other costs incident to placing an issue with investors is not expected by some of the members of the commission to exceed approximately 15 per cent. Indianapolis.—Of the 1,446.101 electors of Indiana who registered for the general election this year, 183,140 did not vote. Approximately one person out of every seven registered did not go to the polls. The total vote of the ficket was 1,262,640, the Republican plurality being 185,006. The total vote for President in Indiana in 1916, before women voted, was 717,189. The total vote this year was 545,775 greater than it was four years ago, or an increase of 76 per cent. If all those who registered this year had voted, the total vote would have been a little more than double that of four years ago. Indianapolis.— A temporary injunction restraining the state special coal and food commission from enforcing orders against the Vandalia Coal company and the Vigo Coal Products company because the orders violate the interstate commerce clause of the federal Constitution and because they impair the obligation of contracts, was issued in federal court at Indianapolis. Evansville. —J. S. Johnson of Evansville was elected president of the Southwestern Indiana Teachers’ association for the coming year at the session of the organization’s annual convention, held In Evansville. He had been vice president of the association the last year, and takes the place of Robert E. Eckert of Jasper, who has served during the last year. Anderson. — The Madison county council and board of commissioners, in joint session to consider road improvements outlined for next year, and which will cost approximately $1,000,000, decided not to cancel any contracts for improvements, fl was decided, however, to retrench as far as possible In regard to improvement projects for 1921. Indianapolis. — Sumner Kenner, Huntington city attorney, will be assistant attorney general of Indiana under U. S. Lesh, attorney general-elect, Mr. Lesh has announced. Mr. Kenner will fill the position made vacant early in January when Mr. Lesh. now assistant attorney general, becomes attorney general. Logansport.—Municipal coal yards in Logansport will be kept In operation until the consumers of the city are supplied with plenty of fuel for the winter and the coal merchants are able adequately to serve the citizens, according to James I. Barnes, mayor. East Chicago.—His principle of never assigning a subordinate to a task he would not wish to undertake himself cost the life of Clyde Spencer, chief of the fire department of East Chicago.

11 "DESTROY THIS LETTER!" Synopsis.—Typical tramp in appearance, Daniel Randolph Fitzhugh, while crossing a Chicago street, causes the wreck of an auto, whose chauffeur disables it trying to avoid running him down. In pity the occupant of the auto, a young girl, saves him from arrest and gives him a dollar, telling him to buy soap, and wash. His sense of shame is touched, and he imI proves his appearance. That night, in a crowd of unemployed and anarchists, he meets Esther Strom and in a spirit of bravado makes a speech. Esther induces Fitzhugh to address the radical meeting. He electrifies the crowd, and on parting the two agree to meet again. A few’ days later Fitzhugh visits SyI mington Otis, prominent financier, and displaying a package which he says contains dynamite, but which Is merely a bundle of paper, demands SIO,OOO. Otis gives him a check. At the house he meets the girl who had given him the dollar, and learns she is Kathleen Otis. She recognizes him. Ashamed, he tears up the check and escapes, but Is arrested. Esther visits Fitzhugh in jail, and makes arrangements for procuring legal advice. His trial is speedily completed and he is found Insane and committed to an asylum, from which he easily makes his escape. Fitzhugh takes refuge In Chicago with Esther, who has become infatuated with him, but with the thought of Kathleen in his mind be gives her no encouragement. His one idea is to become rich and powerful, and win Kathleen. While hiding In Esther’s house he grows a beard, which effectually changes his appearance. Nikolay, a big Russian, I becomes jealous. . K CHAPTER V. It was ten days since the reward I for Fitzhugh’s capture had been offered. and though detectives, city, amateur, and private, as well as the j police, had kept hot an unremitting search, not a trace of the fugitive could they find. "Clues,” they had by scores, but they led nowhere. This tenth day fell on a Thursday in April •—a cold, dark day of incessant rain. Nikolay invariably called upon Esther । every Friday, but on this particular Thursday night, happening to be in | Yer neighborhood, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity, and ; drop in on her for a pot of hot tea and a word of good cheer. He was about to pass under the wooden staircase, and so to her door, when suddenly, just opposite the wlni dow he stopped still and stood as though hewed from stone. What he saw was this: In the center of the room, her back toward him, | stood Esther; arms held out, her head back, she had the unmistakable posture of a woman waiting only for the One Man. The next instant a very tall man. young-looking despite the short, untrlmmed beard on his lean face, । stepped from some point outside Nikolay’s range of vision, and took her In his arms and kissed her. His pimply face livid with fury, yellow hair seeming to stand on end, Nikolay burst into the room. Fitzhugh sprang from his place and vaulted the table, bringing it between himself and the door. "Get out, Esther,” he ordered quietly, rolling up his shirtsleeves. ‘Tin going to slaughter this beast.” She made no move to go, however, but drew to one side, and with hands ' pressed to her cheeks, watched me two gladiators with mingled horror and fascination. Nikolay had the advantage of some forty pounds in weight, but Fitzhugh was vastly his superior In stamina, fistic skill and quickness of eye and movement. To win the fight he Judged he had to do Rushed Like an Infuriated Bull. but one thing: to keep free of the i I other's clutches. Once the big Russian got those tremendous arms i around him the combat would be unequal. Nikolay rushed upon his foe like an infuriated bull, and Fitzhugh ducked | and sidestepped like a lean panther, springing in quickly to deliver two blows in rapid succession, the last of which brought blood. In the next rush, however, a sledge hammer seemed to 1 swing upon the point of his chin., and ' he spun dizzily backward, unable to j regain his balance, and fell heavily • against a fender. But Nikolay was , not quirk enough to follow up his ad- i vantage, and when next he charged, I Fitzhugh had recovered, and was ; i dancing around him as before, his lip । drawn back from his gleaming teeth i j in a taunting smile. T!ie blood was streaming from a tvzen cuts on the Russian’s face, its |

crimson blots In his eyes; and ever that smiling, white-and-black *ace swam before him like a pirouetting phantom. Knowing his endurance to be his strongest, and the other’s weakest, point, Fitzhugh desired chiefly to wear his opponent down until such time as he could rush in and finish him. Nikolay was fast becoming exhausted. Ten minutes of this mad pace was more than he could stand. His breath catne shorter and shorter. At last he stopped and allowed his arms to dangle limply at Ids sides. For a little while, coughing and spitting blood and catching his breath in wheezy gasps, he stared drunkenly. Then, seizing a heavy water pitcher from beside an overturned chair, he hurled It, with a vile word. Fitzhugh dodged the missile and leapt for his foe. He put every atom of his vigorous young strength into the blow he landed under Nikolay’s jaw, and the man went down like a clubbed ox. The conqueror walked to a corner, picked up his coat, and slung it over his shoulder. He came back to Esther, crouching against the wall like one awakening from some horrible dream. He smiled, but In the neutral light the ] smile was ghastly. "I'm sorry you had to see it. I told you I’d slaughter him.” The next moment the woman was sobbing hysterically in his arms. “I can’t let you go! I can’t—l can’tl” She clung to him as a drowning person, clutching his hands, his arms, his neck. “You must, Esther.” He stroked her hair tenderly. “The police may be here at any moment. Get away as quickly as possible. Never mind about him—he’ll be all right presently. I’ll write you care of the post office. You write me, too. Good-by, dear, good-by.” With these words of parting he turned and left the house. Fitzhugh entered a saloon and laved his hurts and washed up. afterward surveying his face very critically In a mirror. He concluded he was effectually disguised against anybody who had not seen him during the past four weeks. He left the saloon and continued northward. In State street he stopped before an alleged restaurant—one of those discolored. unwashed places that can be scented a hundred yards off on a warm day, and where a “full meal” may be had for twentj’ cents —and read this sign hanging from a nail on the door post: “DISHWASHER WANTED.” He removed the sign, walked inside and handed It to the chemical-blonde cashier perched on a high stool between a cash register and a pyramid of toothpicks. “I'm it,” said he, favoring her with an engaging smile. It was a sweltering, filthy place, reeking with multitudinous odors and overrun with cockroaches. The soiled dishes came in u never-ending torrent. I and all day, with three respites for food, he bent nt the wash-bench, his arms Immeised to the elbows in black. ' soapy water. At eight came the night man. and he drew a breath of relief and a dollar on his weekly wage, nnd started home. Or. rather, he started to look for a home. He found one for two dollars a week—a depressing room, little larger than a coalbox. | tucked away in the upper regions of j a shoddy lodging house. He paid the grim-faced landlady half of his capital, bought a packet of tobacco and an evening newspaper, and went to his room. He disrobed to his underclothing, and with the newspaper nnd n clga- ' rette, stretched himself on the couch i bed. allowing his feet to rest on n I chair. He inhaled a satisfying cloud ' of smoke and unfolded the news sheet —and his fingers closed rigidly on the paper; his heart seemed to stand still. What he read at a glance stretched across four columns of the front page: MURDER MYSTERY AMONG REDS' OLAF NIKOLAY. RUSSIAN NIHILIST, FOUND DEAD IN SOUTH SIDE BASEMENT! WOMAN SUSPECT GONE! The story so shriekingly heralded was told in a few paragraphs, and Fitzhugh breathed easier as he read. Substantially, it related that Nikolay had been found that afternoon by Esther's landlady, who, thinking the man drunk, had call“d the police. An examination showed that he was stabbed to the heart and had been dead for hours. Esther bad disappeared, leaving no trace behind her. Fitzhugh dropped the paper to the floor and stared thoughtfully at the ceiling, crushing his cigarette slowly between his fingers. Suddenly he jumped up and began pacing the floor restlessly. “Pshaw!—she'll get away all right. Yes, yes, she'll get away all right.” On bis way to work next morning he called at the post office and found, as he expected, a letter from Esther. It was written on a scrap of wrapping paper with a lead pencil, and began without preface: If I’ve sinned It was because I loved you so. I did It for your sake. I am praying God that your desire for wealth may be granted you. Even though your ambition is one of which I do not entire- ; ly approve, I would willingly die that you > might achieve it. That Is how I love you. It may be a long while before you hear 1 from me again, because I am going far ; away. Destroy this le’ter. Your adoring ESTHER. He burned the letter In the kitchen range and knuckled down to his op- ; probrlous toil as on the previous day. i J Fitzhugh had a clearly defined rea- j Ison for doing scullery work in a res- j tauruut. k A*evlded a steady, if

small, income; it facilitated economy, and, above all, it afforded him a secure biding place during the day. He Intended to stay there six weeks. By that time his beard would be sufficiently long to be shaped into a Vandyke. Also, for he practiced the most rigorous frugality, he expected to have thirty dollars with which to buy some presentable clothes. From that point on he felt positive that somehow his soaring aloft would be swift and sure. Only once was the monotony of that month broken.

MOST FAMOUS OF PALACES Building Constructed by Brunelleschi for Count Pitti Is the Glory of Florence, Italy. No country Is richer in beautiful palaces than Italy. In most instances these have now become the property of the nation, so that the taxpayer is indirectly responsible for the general I good while preserving their dignity I and safeguarding their treasures. Throughout Italy, from Turin to Palermo, these monuments to the genius of the Middle ages are to be found, but perhaps none is so famous ns the Pitti palace at Florence, built upon a hill above the Arno with the beautlI ful Boboli gardens stretching behind It. ! Count Pitti, chief magistrate of Flor ence In the fifteenth century, desiring to outrival Cosimo de’ Medici, set him self to build a palace which should be the wonder of Italy. He employed the architect Brunelleschi, whom Cosimo when building his own palace had passed over because of his magnificent disregard for expenditure, and Brunelleschi was given a free hand. Pitti, however, fell into disgrace for plotting against the son of Cosimo and no workman could be found to continue his half-completed palace. Thus for a century It was to remain, until Eleanor of Toledo once more took ft in hand (and It became —oh, strange irony!—the home of the Medi cean grand dukes. The Pitti was not, actually finished until 1839. The sight seer is aware as he wanders through this vast building today, and gazeii at its walls lined with five hundred pictures, most of them masterpiece^ that he is rather In a royal palace than a picture gallery, and he doubts not. the truth of Macchiavelll’s verdi that the Pitti palace “is greater ana more splendid than the house of any other private citizen whatsoever.” In Memory of Nell Gwynn. There Is always an orange in a plate placed on a chair near the door in the Savoy chapel, in London, on the Sunday after Christmas. The custom is very old, done in memory of Nell Gwynn, who, when a well-nigh homeless child, sold oranges In a little court near Drury Lane. At all times she was a generous l giver to the churcj and to the poor, even If her life was gay and Immoral. While she lived it became the custom to place the orange on the plate. Free Hot Water.

VOTE AUSTRIA INTO LEAGUE Commission on New States Is Unanimous in Action on Admitting Republic. WOOD TO HEAD ARMENIA ARMY Notification of Wilson’s Plan to Mediate in Armenia is Received by Assembly—Council Drafts Note Accepting His Proposal. Geneva, Dec. 3. —Austria was unanimously voted a member of the League of Nations by the commission for the admission of new states here. It is expected the assembly of the league will ratify this action. Application by Bulgaria for admission is expected to be brought up at the session of the assembly. Serbia, Greece and Roumania have indicated they are seriously opposed to the admission of Bulgaria, and it appeared i probable they would make an issue of । the matter. A letter to President Wilson, accepting his offer to act as mediator in Armenia, was being drafted by the council of the league here. Mr. Wilson’s note, which was received here, was read to members of the council, and was received with marks of liveliest satisfaction. “I’oor old Europe will feel less abandoned,” was a remark nmde by a member of the French delegation when dis- | cussing President Wilson’s action. The news gave the assembly great relief. There is much speculation as to I what form the mediation in Armenia will take. A. J. Balfour, a leader of । the British delegation, remarked to | the assembly the other day that in ’ order to negotiate it would be necesj sary to offer Mustapha Kemal something—either money or territory—and . this remark is recalled in connection with Mr. Wilson's known opposition . to the disposition made of some parts of the territory of Turkey by the Sevres treaty. Prediction is made here that in the end the Greeks may pay the price for saving what remains of the Armenian people. “President Wilson's action is a big ] step toward a solution of one of the ‘ most serious problems before the as- ■ sembly,” was the way Lord Robert Cecil characterized President Wilson’s acceptance. “That is wonderful news,” he declared when the information was given him. The Armenian commission of the League of Nations assembly reported that it had reached a decision regarding the Armenian situation. The com- . mission announced that it had decided I to semi an army of volunteers, headed ! by Gen. Leonard Wood, U. S. A., “to assist in the arbitration by the United States between the Armenian republic and Mustapha Kemal.” The council of the league unani- | mously approved the invitation drawn i up by the military commission calling on the United States to mime a representative to sit on the commission. The invitation expressed the view that the general consideration of the subject of a reduction of armaments I would be "greatly facilitated” if the United States government could see j its way to send a repro>itative to sit in a consultative capacity’ with the commission. Following the council's approval of the invitation at its session a note embodying it was dispatched to the Washington government. BIG STEEL MEN ARE INDICTED Former Crucible Officials Charged With Plot to Defraud the United States. Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 3.—A federal I jrand jury here returned indictments i against Herbert DuPuy, former presi- | dent and chairman of the board of dii rectors of the Crucible Steel company of America, and George A.

His Chief End in Life. There lived in an English town a wealthy but exceedingly “tight" old lady, who kept very few servants and paid them as little as possible. Among these was an underfed, mis-erable-looking lad of fourteen, who answered the door, did the dishwashing, waited at table, weeded the garden, washed the dog and a few ether things. One day a visitor asked this lad: “Well, my boy, and what do you do around here?” “I do a butler, a kitchen maid and a gardener out of a job,” replied the boy gravely. USE “DIAMOND DYES”

Never since the foundation of the Great St. Bernard monastery have the monks been so shamefully exploited by Alpinists and tourists as this season. For example, 700 visitors, the majority of whom arrived in motorcars recently, stayed the night and lunched and dined with wine free, but deliberately forgot to pay. The collection box at the entrance of the hospice contained only 15 francs when the crowd of visitors, among whom were several English and Americans, left. The result was a most serious loss. —Geneva (Switzerland) Dispatch. Step the Pala. The hurt of a burn or a cut stops when I Cole's Carbolisalve is applied.
