Then It receded,: leaving er pallid sare for the rouge she had hurriedly put on when I had knocked at her door a few min utes before4 J " "Thank you," she said in a low yolce. , "I know there are many Kromen in your position who would iot have said that.

I - "Get dressed, then, quickly; and took your very smartest and pret tiest, mind. ;There are reporters In the jhalL" . f.'Ohl" The exclamation held fright and aversion. "I I can't cee them. There's one reason why I kept myself locked ' in here.": -'That was all right when you, were by yourself." I returned. But now it is different. I haqp pen to know that if they see you and Mr. Graham and me together n friendly terms especially if we were not in the least serious, but treat the whole thing -as a joke-there will be no further publicity, for they will have TJOth- Gargle Throat Clip This if Subject to Sore LTiiroat or Tonsilit'ss j .

I flushed, embarrassed for her as well as myself. j "It won't be particularly pleas ant for you to- hear,!' I warned her.';.. : , ') ' "I know that. But I must hear it, nevertheless." j "Yoru Needn't Tell Me- ' ' "I will tem you In the exact words of one of them." I said, slowly. "We might as well go home as far as Mrs. Graham is concerned. But there's always the chance that Foster is really In love with, the gallant aviator, and if she Is, there may be unexpected fire works." . -'i-i. I had turned away my eyes from her face as I spoke. But every nerve in me leaped to the angry, incredulous "What!"; which, sprang from her lips, followed by a short laugh of utter amazement. For there was something so gen uine in both exclamation and laughter, and both were so palp ably directed toward the idea in stead Jot the words I, had uttered that one dread which had been in my heart was effectually quieted. I knew Bicky too well to fear that hisfancy was engaged beyond the passing moment, but I i had been affiraid that Claire Foster, young, impressionable, - .reckless, might have conceived a real affection for him. . . ' She came across to' me swiftly. Dut her hand on my arm, and thrust her face close to mine "Did you think that.too?" she asked tensely. "Could you be lieve that I might really be in love with your husband. Instead of having a gloriously reckless tiine, with na thought of anything save the fun of flying? You're too honest to He. Ah! You needn't say a word! I can see you did And yet you came up here to take care of me. Say you belong1 out West! You're too big-souled to live alongside these pin-headed Prissies Downeast. Lord: I wish I was back there!" A Spontaneous Laugh. . i I was glad to hear the ridiculowi outburst, for I knew that the ten sion under which she had been holding herself was loosening, and that the danger of an emotional collapse was past. I laughed light lv and struck a casual note as I turned toward the door. ""A "I'll see to it that" only one re porter, and that a very charming woman." comes" near" you. And you will only have a word or two. I'll givie you your cue. But be sure to appear gay and at ease. and glad that your dearest, most intimate friend has come to you Now I'll go and keep Dicky and Whole Wheat 1 i JbSutter A-ream ! ; . " j Choice 1 i m Nuts the kind Mrs. Barker from murdering each other." "Don't hold your husband back on my account," she said grimly, as I opened the door, and I did not have to force the laugh with which I closed It behind me. t There was a hasty rustle as of skirts around the corner of the corridor, and I guessed that some of the "pin-headed Prlsaies" to whom Claire had so graphically re ferred had not been so well-bred as two : of the veranda rockers trying not to look hurried or flus tered as they walked - toward the big sitting-room of the house. (To be continued) ; - ; CLEAVER IS HELD. UNFIT FOR PLACE (Contlaned from paft 11 tained should be expended under the direction and control . of the district attorneys and sheriffs of the various counties. ' Disregard Is Menace This work should be supple mented by a "flying squadron" of carefully selected and competent law enforcing officers to be se lected by the attorney general and required to cooperate with the various law enforcing officers of the state. 'These officers will be able to perform valuable service in working and cooperating with the sheriffs. "Disregard for law is a more serious menace than the evils re sulting from the liquor traffic, and the duty of enforcing the laws should be placed squarely upon the shoulders of sheriffs and dis trict . attorneys and they should be assisted by the state officers to be selected as hereinbefore stated." " Full Report Given Findings of the committee are given in full as follows: "We, your committee appointed under senate concurrent resolu tion No. 1, to make an Investiga tion of the office of state prohi bition commissioner and the en forcement of the prohibition laws. and matters properly connected therewith, beg leave to report the following findings: "The operation of the law cre ating the office of prohibition commissioner has not been fully efficient or satisfactory, i "The commissioner, acting un der the advice and direction of the governor, assumed the Jattitude that it was the duty of the dis trict attorneys and sheriffs and other Jaw- enforcement afficers within the state to cooperate with him, and that It was not the duty of , the commissioner to cooperate with them. .Under this erroneous policy, bad feeling has . resulted. In some counties .thexevha, been cooperation, but this condition has been the exception and not the rule. In "many of the. counties there has been actual and contin ual friction. . t , -Methods Unbusinesslike "The records of the commis sioner's office disclose a haphaz ard and unbusinesslike way of con ducting a department of the state. Receipts and . disbursements t of special funds coming in the hands of the commissioner are not dis closed by his report. . This special fund was kept by the commission er under the advice and direction Of ; the governor; ; The committee makes no charge of dishonesty up on the part of the commissioner. , "There Is conclusive evidence, both written and- verbal, that-the commissioner used his official po sition in some instances to further the political fortunes of candidates for office and to defeat other can didates.

This money was turned over as aforesaid in June and the early part of July, 1924. . No itemized statement covering the expendi ture of. this money was ever made by the superintendent of the Anti Saloon league to the commission er. A portion" of this fund was spent in high living, debauchery and immorality upon the part of so-called investigating agents.' No prosecutions have' resulted from the activities of these agents. It is claimed by the governor, the prohibition, commissioner and, the superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league that said $1500 was ex pended in order to secure evidence for the purpose of convicting 'large rum , runners. The gover nor has asserted that the moner was well spent, and It is claijiTd that prosecutions will result. How ever, up to the present time no 'large rum runner' Jhas been ar rested or convicted as a result of said investigation. Considerable time has elapsed since the inves tigations were made, and Wein berg,! the chief investigator, ' has departed from i the state of Ore gon to, answer an Indictment in the state of New York. , j Money Squandered . "A general statement has been submitted to the committee by the superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league ( covering the expenditure of the said sum of $1500. .This statement shows that large sums were expended for hotels and meals for ,Mr. and Mrs. Weinberg and guests, consisting of 'large rum j runners'; and that a I por tion of said sum was expended for 'taxi, auto hire, cigars, drinks, etc. I Money was spent freely by these agents in houses of prosti tution for the" purpose of purchas ing drinks and for other purposes which were improper. .The com mittee believes Weinberg and his assistant. Hugo, should never have been employed at the expense of the state prohibition fund. The methods employed by these so called investigating agents were 'not law enforcement, but lawless ness.' Their activities are a stain upon the prohibition cause.; s "The commissioner had no pre vious : experience which , qualified him. for the office, and Is not tem peramentally suited to the work which devolved upon him. He has been unfortunate tJn,.tbe,seT 'ectipn and approval of a number of agents employed by him. Some of these agents have been convict ed of crimes before their employ ment and others were : guilty of malfeasance during' the term of their employment by the commis sioner. In two Instances a chief deputy of the commissioner has assaulted persons placed under ar rest by him for the purpose of forcing confession from them. The commissioner, : however, has invy mediately-discharged such em ployes as soon as their conduct became- known to ' him. : It has been difficult for him to secure the services of competent and trust worthy men, and the governor has appointed too many special agents without any 'knowledge of their character or qualifications as law enforcement officers. s Conducted on Theory , . ,t "The department has been con ducted upon' the theory, at least in part, that it was better to cap- 36-in; T Dress Linen Only 90c a yard New Crepe Suitings Pretty Checks Sunfast , and Tubfast . 65c yard New Lace " ' - Collar Tabs' .

The best re sults In' the enforcement" of- the prohibition , law , hare been ob tained under the direction of duly elected sheriffs and district attor neys of the various counties Al though special agents were paid by the ; district attorneys of the various counties, they were" ire quired to report to the commis sioner and the results of their work are credited to the commis sioner as, though they were work ing under his .immediate direction. In addition thereto, large credit is taken for work in which neither Mr. Cleaver nor his assistants bad the slightest part.' In some coun ties the commissioner is entitled to credit. j "The commissioner has . done practically nothing towards the ett forp ement of, the. narcqt Ic law. The narcotic evil is one of the most serious matters confronting the people of this state and the work of the commissioner in ithe enforcement of narcotic ' laws has been almost nil. - ; L Vested In Governor "By reason of the inexperience of the commissioner, he was ,rected,by the governor to keep In close touch with the superintend eat of the Anti-Saloon league to follow his advice, which and;1 the commissioner - has consistently done, i ! "Under the act creating the of fice of prohibition commissioned the power of appointing the Com missioner and such agents and in s pec tors as may be deemed nteces-l sary to enforce! the : prohibition laws of the state, is vested 14 th governor. , The ' governor's orders and directions have been stifictly and literally followed by thepomf missioner, and the governor hai appeared before the committee and personally, assumed 'full re4 sponsibility for. the conduct. of the office; of the commissioner, i j "The commissioner has of ttimes been unduly condemned and criti cized for conduct resulting from the direction of the governor and the superintendent of the ; Xntij Saloon league; but in our judg ment he can be of no further ser vice to the state as prohibition commissioner, and that in further ance of the cause of law enforce ment, his resignation should be demanded or, he should be re moved." ; " : i ' :' ! .
