FIVE
ON PENSION FUNDS
SALEM, Full. 20. CAP) Elmer
R. Couily, 'mala relief administra
tor, today placed before Attorney
General I. H. Van Winkle a ten
tative plan for obtaining federal
match funds for old ace pensions.
Neither Goudy nor Van Winkle
tvould divulge the details of the
proposal here.
Van Winkle was requested to
study the tentative plan with a
view of eliminating objectionable
features. Then the plan would be
- advised to conform to legal require
ments after wblch.lt would be pre
sented to Governor Martin.
The attorney general stated the
plan was quite involved and it
would require several weeks of
study. ' Until a definite plan
worked out. It was indicated all
other moves to obtain federal
funds, even to the possibility of
calling a special session of the leg
islature, would be held in abey
ance by the administration.
The law under which federal
funds would be requested would be
the one enacted by tho regular
11135 leKiHlatlve session. This law
prior to the amendments made by
the special BesBiou, provided for an
appropriation of 11,000,000 to . be
matched by county appropriations.
Goudy declared no attention
would be given tho recent amend
ments whereby the state appropria
tion would be turned over to direct
relief, since a referendum on that
action delays Its operutivoness.
The governor recently expressed
himself favorable to any workable
plan promulgated by Goudy and
the state relief committee which
would make it possible to obluin
federal funds for old age pensions.

PORTLAND, Feb. 20. (AP)
The Oregon capttol construction
commission was urged today by
the public works administration to
"get going" on plans for Oregon's
new statehouse.
C. C. Hockley, PWA administra
tor for Oregon, said "Washington,
D. C, is' disappointed because we
have not started. They are press
ing us for a definite date."
Members of the commission re
plied that everything that could be
done has been done to expedite
plans for the structure. They said
they would try to give to Hockley,
late today or tomorrow, a sched
ule of definite dates, showing when
t he plan contest could be started,
when completed, and when con
tracts might be let.
Hockley said he had gained the
impression that the cupltol contest
was to start February 1, whereas
it has not yet got under way. Carl
F. Gould, commission architect,
said he may have conveyed that
mpression inadvertently. Gould
said it would take two and a half
months to complete the contest.
Hockley said he believed six weeks
should be enough.

CHAPTER XXII
Although I was very brave and
firm when I made my dramatic ex
it from Allen's room, 1 vaa not
nearly so sure of myself, or him.
at heart. The more 1 tnougnv
about Allen's story as the hours
of the night slid by, the more 1
saw its weak points. If I saw
them, I reasoned, what wouldn't
Inspector O'Brien do to It?
By morning I had convinced my
self thut a case as good as that
against any of the suspects could
be built tagaiust my brother. In
spite of his impracticallty, of Ms
"peculiarity," he evidently was
convinced of the same conclusion,
thus deciding not to reveal his
part in that night's events. He
had acted madly just I suppose
as a "neurotic." as dad called him.
could be expected to act. Yet it
all looked pretty suspicious on the
surface of it.
He admitted that he was Jealous
of Bruce, that he had been squelch
ed bv Connie the day before for
his "presumptuousness" (1 could
hear her pronounce the word now,
It was a favorite of hers in quell
ing disorder), and that he brood
ed over the whole thing all night
and all day. That would be enough
motive for the police, I now knew.
As for Hyms. story, it wouia
have been fairly simple for Allen
to have arrived immediately after
Mr. Perkins left, to have shot Con
nie, then to have hidden in the
apartment during Hym's brief
visit. This space of time might
have given him the opportunity to
realize what he had done, to exper
ience tromendous remorse, to have
taken the pen on Just the senti
ment basis he had expressed to
me, and to have lieu the town iu
stark terror. After that, the story
of his return would not need much !
new interpretation.
When I went down for breakfast,
I was wearily telling myself I had
constructed an excellent case lor
the police. Should I tell what 1
knew? Should I expose my broth
er? Allen was at the table when I
arrived. He glared at me over
mother's coffee-pot, but the folks
were too -much interested in the
newspaper to notice. Mrs. Carring
ton was the headline that morning.
"INJURED WIFE COLLAPSES,"
it shouted. i ' .
"Mrs. Carrington, I gather," com-i
mented my father, "is injured be
cause of her husband's being in
volved with Miss Sinclulr, and she
has collapsed because of rigid
cross-examination by the police.
1 had not considered the ques
tioning I overheard very rigid, but
no doubt they had her in again
when I was not there, tor the pa
ers tilaved un tho possibility ol
her having followed her husbaiuj
St, Joseph the sunuay Dei ore
Connie was murdered.
"It is strange that this newsboy
wasn't found until now," said
mother.
"Not at all; few people like to
volunteer information on such
cases," answered dad. I looked at
Allen, but he did not meet my
gaze.
The St. Joseph Courier had scor
ed a scoop an exclusive story-
ty unearthing a newsboy who bad
witnessed the "scene" referred to
in Connie's letter. This was spot
lighted for all the sensationalism
in it.
Carrington had parked his car
on a side street around the corner
from Connie's apartment about
nine or nine-thirty that Sunday
evening. He and Connie were re
turning from a drive somewhere
presumably to a neighboring town
lor dinner. While sitting In the
car, he had tried to persuade her
that he cared more for her thar
for just a friend. The newspaper
did not say this nor did it ad
vance the supposition that he
tried to convince her that they
should seek some way to be mar
ried. I think that was Ihe reason
for the scene, though, and I don't
care what others say.
The Courier emphasized only
the newsboy's version of the love-
making he described. Any dctutis
he might have forgotten were re-,
called by the energetic reporter
who questioned him. It wub all
messy, I'd say.
Mother sniffod and thrust the
paper under the coffee-pot, hoping
I wouldn't see it all. Of course
got the story at school, hashed
over a number of times.
Helen was triumphant, for her
theory had a good chance of work
ing out to lie the right one.
"Didn't I tell you?" she gloated
"Now don t you think Mrs. Ca
rington might be guilty? Do you
most hope you are. I'm getting fed
up on this case. I wish theyd
make up their minds who did it
and end the thing."
Well, I think it's been pretty
exciting," Patsy thrilled as she
started her second sundae. "Who
ever dreamed there were such ro
mantic characters in dull old St.
Joseph V
"It may be romantic to you, but
I think it Is too grimly realistic,"
I answered. I was too weary to
be excited over even a new crea
tion of the shop a combination of
split bananas, pecans and fresh
strawberries, in November, tool I
dipped a spoon into It half-heartedly.
"You wouldn't think it so ro
mantic If you cared much about
Connie. If you gave any realiza
tion to the faat that she's buried,
her life all ended, and an ugly
bullet wound in her chest. H
wouldn't be bo romantic if you
knew these people and all their
ugly emotions. They're afraid, all
of them, of having cared for that
poor woman. They are trying to
hedge, each of them, to make their
relations with her as casual and
unimportant as possible. - I think
they're all welchers!"
"Well, gee, Julie, you can't ex
pect them (o be exactly thrilled to
be connected with a murder victim!"
"It wasn't Connie's fault some
one fired a guu at her, was it
Helen was cooler than Patsy
and I. "It might have been," she
said. "After all, we don't know
why she was killed until we find
out who did it. If you ever read
these murder reports and stories,
you usually find that the victim
did something to cause it; it's not
always the murderer's ugly emo
tion alone"'
1 regarded Helen with more re
spect. She did think sometimes
and 1 wouldn't be surprised If she
was expressing an underlying
theory of the police when they go
probing into what looks like peo
ple's prlvute business. I was still
cross, however.
All right," I half-growled, get
ting up from the lunch .table, "but
still say it is gruesome to think
that any one of these persons we
know Mr. Perkins, Melvin, Bruce
Lloyd, or either one of the others
Hym or Mrs. Carrington could
have raised a revolver and killed
our own French teacher," and l
added to myself, "or my very own
brother!"
The girls were more subdued. I
guess some of my disgust and
quiet penetrated, for the discus
sion practically ceased.
On the way home that afternoon
in Dicky's car, 1 relaxed against
the cracked leather until a bump
bounced me over where a spring
came through. I had just settled
myself again on a piece o fairly
smooth cushion when Dicky sud
denly grubbed the emergency
brake and put his foot on the re
verse gear of his model-T Ford.
We stopped with our usual hop
backward.
"What Is It?"
"Late extra. Let's see what it
Is."
He got out two pennies and I
found one. So we bought the pa
per. On the front page was Mrs.
Carriugton's picture ami beside it
was a story that I knew would
warm Helen's heart. A conductor
had now been found who believed
that he could identify Mrs. Car-
rington as a woman who came to
St. Joseph that Suuduy night, Oc
tober 16, on the eight forty-five
train.

"1 don't know, Curly.

"Didn't you ask how he got to
Los Angeles?"
No, mother, I don't believe such
questions would have been quite
appropriate over the telephone."
"No-o-o, I suppose not. But
"But you'd like to know the an
swers! Well, so would I; perhaps
we shall by tomorrow.
Do you think the police will be
so so "
"Antagonistic?"
I nodded. "Yes, antagonistic.
Don't you think I hey will give him
credit for returning wheu they had
lost him?"
My father shook his head. "Ho
evaded the law, he broke his word.
It he returns now, the first step
will be to investigate his motives,
both for the flight and for the return."
'Gee, I shouldn't think he would
have returned if he were guilty
when he had already got away."
What goes on in men's minds is
hard to define. His guilt or inno
cence are still open questions.'
It was stilt an open question.

going to take. He and I avoided

at him mlseruhly, questiouingly,
oxpectautly, each time he entered
the room. It inust have driven

every move, started every time I

again.

hours that night. By Sunday
morning, 1 was 111, and unable to
go to church even. Mother was
awfully worried of course. She
came to gpp me at once when
didn't go dowu for breakfast.
"Is my Curly-head sleepy this
morning?"
"No, mother, just tired."
"Well, you can stay in bed a
while, sweetheart, and go to late
