- TO ANSWER.

A . ware of crimson flooded
Claire Foster's face to her temples
and ears at my quiet assertion that
I was sure there was no reason
why I should not see her through
the unpleasant situation she was
facing. 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. And I will do
anything you say."
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-

They know my attitude already,
for I saw them this morning. They
are only waiting to ascertain your
reaction toward me.
-. She looked at me fixedly.
"Please tell me Just what you
mean by that."
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

"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

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

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. The political activity of

i Turned Over 91500 "
I "Pursuant to orders of the gov
ernor, which were later reduced to
writing, $1300 of the state prohi
bition fund was turned over by the
commissioner to the superintend
ent of the Anti-Saloon league.
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.

ducted upon' the theory, at least
in part, that it was better to cap-

ture a corrupt official than a boot
legger, and has been unduly con
cerned about the conduct of public
officials. . . !,
"The report of the commission
er with respect to the results ob
tained by his office is exaggerat
ed and inaccurate. 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 ' :' ! . '
