Synopsis'• A card game is in session
IP glmer ,Henderson*s |>eQthoase atop
a New York skyscraper. 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.

“That’s easy enough,” the examin

But Glass reported that, since part
of the reduction below estimates was
affected by apportionment of unex

tually $85,600,000.
Glass’ figures were based on an ea=.
timate of $116,829,488 for the third

bill of the session. The appropriations
committee, however, increased the
measure to $150,000,000. It added

“Do you know which night club

“No; but it’s somewhere in the

Detective Maytinelli came in.
“Her name’s Marceau, Chief,” he
said.
“I know it, and her stage name’s

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.

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

Democrats” from the South.
They are concerned about numer

’ RepubIicanlti«Planning for 1940
A bitter fight for control cf the
party at the 1940 Presidential con
vention is shaping up. 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. The belief that Senator
