The players are: Henderson, Police Inspector Fla herty. Martin Frasier, Archie Doane, Max Michaelis, and his friend, Wil liams, a stockhrdlcer. They are waitiog for St^hen Fits- garald. When he fails to appear, t telephone call brings the information that he is out with a girl. Fitzgerald and Henderson are both romantically interested in Lydia Lane, thejUamoas actress, but Archie Doaoe reveals that she is engaged to marry him. Doane leaves the party early when Fitzgerald fails to appear. A short time later he telephones Inspector JJaherty with the frantic nows that he has found Fitzgerald and Miss Lane dead in Lydia's penthottsa apartment. When Flaherty and the medical ex aminer reach the apartment, they find that Miss Lane is still alive. She is rushed to a hospital where blood transfusions and care promise to re store her. All circumstantial evidence points to Archie Doane as the murderer, es pecially when the murder gun is found carefully planted in the chimney •clean-out in the basement. Miss Lane’s French maid, Adele Marceau, has beeh overheard threat ening to shoot Fitzgerald if he did not stop annoying her. The janitor reports that Mademoiselle Marceau works in a night club on her day off and that she had talked to him in the basement on the night of the murder. Michaelis. ‘H need a few more facts.

But Glass reported that, since part of the reduction below estimates was affected by apportionment of unex pended balances, the net cut was ac tually $85,600,000. Glass’ figures were based on an ea=. timate of $116,829,488 for the third deficiency bill, last big appropriation bill of the session. The appropriations committee, however, increased the measure to $150,000,000. It added $50,000,000 to provide benefits for sugar products. FOR RENT — Two rooms,- fumiahed or unfurnished.

I’m going to. my house and rout a we talk to the girl?” for once the Senate did not act in.- Adele Marceau, alis Mademoiselle from Armentieres, proved to he a fluent but apparently straightforward witness, and was evidently stunned and horrified at the tragedy in her mistress’ apartment. Under the alter nate questions of the Inspector and Max Michaelis, with the Assistane District Attorney bccassionally inter vening, she said that she was alone in the apartment all Saturday after noon, doing the weekly cleaning of the place. She had permission to leave every Saturday at six and not mediately, but listened to protesli by its own members against the elevation of one of their own number to the Supreme Court. ' The Senate did, in a ^nse, invito the President to pick A Senator for the Court vacancy, when it “nomin ated” Senator Robinson immediately after Justice Van Devanter’s retire ment. Senator Robinson died, but the implication was clear that a Sen ator would be accepted by the Senate when another man of the type which the President desired to have in the dentia) .nomination is widely held here.

But a single transfusion fixed that after they had stopped the flow from the bullet wound. .There/Was a puzzling angle to the case, they told me. For a long time after she regained consciousness she acted as if she had been under the influence of some narcotic and was having difficulty throwing off its effects.” Max Michaelis’ eyebrows lifted and and had her hat on when Miss Lane arrived, accompanied by M’sieur Hen derson. M’sieur Henderson, Adele said, did not come in, but left Miss Lane at the door of the apartment. “You knew Mr. Henderson? Yoj had seen him before?” asked Max Michaelis. “But yes. At thfe"^ studio many times. Also at the Folies Bergere.s.” “Had you ever seen him at Miss Lane’s apartment liefore?” “Oh, but certainly.

But he s mt flowers more often than any of the other gentlemen.” “Now just what did Miss Lane say and do after she came in and before you leXk^y asked the Inspector, “She ‘Adele, I’ve got a pin in my clothes somewhere and it’s stFcTcmg^^Tn my leg.

Party Split Broadena The criticism of this appointment by Democratic Senators gave further proof that the split between the President and a considerable segment of his own party is wide au4—deep, as the memliers of Congress start home to have" it out with their con stituents. The passage of time and the things they hear from the folks back home may change the attitude of some of those who are at present hop ping mad. Those who arc most se riously cot»«rned are the “old-line Democrats” from the South. They are concerned about numer ous tendencies which they believe will handicap the progress of the South artd infringe ujion the rights of Die Southern States to look after probltms which they regard as peculiarly t'liir own. They are afraid of Fede'al regulation of hours and wages, be lieving that it will put the South at for Samuel Wilder King, Territorial Delegate from Hawaii, who lives more than 5,000 miles from Washing ton. The Treasury is happy over the cash returns from the beer tax. Since the sale of beer was-legalized on April 7, 1933, the American peo ple have drunk 200 million barrels of it, or almost a barrel a year per family, and have paid a Federal, tax of $5 a barrel, which summed up early this month to a round biliion dollars, which is more than the most ardent advocates of repeal predicted.

Here the South is handicapped Jby the abolition, at the 1936 convention, of the two-thiids rule. It takes only a majority vote now to nominate a Presidential candi date. Under the two-thirds rule the Solid South held the balance of power in Democratic national conventions. Republicans are laying their plans for 19*40 also. Talk of a Coalition or Con.stitutionaI party, to unite the conservative elements of both par-? ties, is widely heard, but with little evidence so far that "it has the sup port of practical politicians of either party to any extent. The Republican national organiza tion is still pretty well disorgranized. The talk of a Winter convention to consider a program and definite Re publican policies is still mostly talk. ■Mr. Hoover, Mr. Landon and Sena tor Vandenberg are supposed to have had some communication.s on the subject, and somewhere among those three the future leadership of the party lies.
