PAGE TEN The OltEGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, October 24, 1937 No Arjnistice Seen in Labor AFICIO Parley Next Week Probably Will Fail, Is Observers' Opinion By JOSEPH L. MILLER WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-(P)-Labor leaders say next week's peace conference between the Am erican - Federation of Labor , and John L. Lewis committee for in- dmtrlal organization probably will fa!L In tbeir private conversations, leaders in both camps say the ne gotiations may be continued for a lone time. Proposals and coun ter proposals to end labor's bitter civil war probably will be made. Long recesses may be taken. But these leaders say there is little likelihood- of peace while each side is celebrating victories in battle. One AFL official said recently, "wait until one side or the other starts sliding downhill fast; then well . have peace." - AFL Surrender Wanted , Lewis' closing remarks at the CIO Atlantic City meeting last week-Indicated the attitude which the rebel committee will carry in to, the conference. He said: "If the AFL officials choose to lay aside their weapons and Join the CIO in working out a program of unity, 'tis well. yit they elect not to do so. the responsibility - for that decision -" will benpon their beads end their shoulders. "But the CIO will go pn it will go on working out its own destiny, and its destiny is to make true some of the dreams of its Millions of members." When the Federation agreed to the peace conference. AFL lead ers decided not to talk for publi cation about their attitude or hat their proposals would be. CIO Surrender Wanted From a source close to the Fed ' oration's executive council, how rver, it was learned that the dom inant faction in the council want ed no peace without a complete CIO surrender. This faction. It vas said, felt Lewis was licked. If Lewis refuses to disband the CIO, and If, the dominant AFL. craft union leaders refuse to stand for unqualified industrial unionism in the -mass production industries, the peace conference probably will end in short order. Some leaders suggested, how ever, that each side might offer a compromise. -If the peace conference comes to naught, both sides are ready to intensify the war. rs to visit Salem This Week , Dr. and Mrs. Carl G. Doney are expected to arrive in Salem The Silver Rood Mystery - CHAPTER XXX " Mason had quite a dinner for me. ' I told SaDy what had happened. I could guess that Mason was listen ing on every opportunity, and took care not to say anything that would give away the fact that Morin claimed to be Montieth's daughter. " "I don't see how yon. could resist ; the temptation to go through those letters, right then and there." Sally said. -- - I wanted to take my time, Old Girl,"' I explained. "I wanted to get the box out here safely, then go through it. I'm betting some of those letters are from Nola Lutxmann what va thalV' "What? You're getting panicky, Barley. I didn't hear anything." I got up softly and walked to the arch. One of the portieres swayed lightly. Mason was just disappear ing into the butler's pantry. . I aat down again with a grin. "I thought I heard some queer sound. It's your perfect, but nosey, butler." "Why shouldn't he be curious 7 I don't suppose, in all of his experi : ence, he ever got so close to a crime mystery before. ' . v;;- J finished eating and we went op : to the room. ." , -c-v-y - The letter postmarked in Hobokeri and dated, quite clearly, "Nov. 12, 1914" would have been enough to knock Morin's claim Into .. forty cocked hats. It was addressed to Nola Lutzmann at a place in New York that was once one of a row of cheap rooming houses. At this time forty-story block was there. It was in the same queer hand- writing as the letter purporting to be from Mrs. Felder to Nola Morin telling her she was Gerard Moa- tieth's daughter. ... - --; "Dear Nola.t read. "Your little Nola sends so much lofe to her ma ma, wit thanks, and . wit kiss, for the Iof ely waxen dolly for her three years birthday. It comes joost on time for the ten oz the month." There was a great deal more, tome of importance, as proof of Morin's attempted trickery, much that was of no importance; but just that touch would, have been suffi- .eient. . . . .: Three years back from Novem ber, tenth, 1914, would have been - wben, SaUy?" I cried. . r ; "November ten, 1911, can you - "When Nola Lutxmann got to this country with Mr. Montieth and Mr. and Mrs. Stapleton, it was May, early in May, 1911. Mrs. Stapleton is quite positive of this and has plenty ef proof. - , Aid so" Sally counted on her . fingers, woman-like. - . "And so," I said, "since Montieth never saw Nola Lutzmann until the 'first week in May, this Nola Morin is the daughter of the husband Nola Lutzmann ran away from well, at .least, she isn't Montieth's daugb- ter." , . - . ; - "That's so.

Uy LEWIS ALLEN BROWNE "Now," Sally said, "if you can clear up the murder as thoroughly as you have cleared this, all will be well." I was going through the other papers and -letters. Some had be- cnged to Mrs. Lutzmann and some to her sister, Mrs. Felder. Why both should in the box in Mrs. Felder s attic. I wasn't certain, but decided that Mrs. Lutzmann might have gone back to her sister's when she had her last sickness, bringing her belongings with her. When, next day, Mrs. Stapleton, myself, and the green box arrived at Judge Wentworth's office, there was considerable excitement as well as rejoicing. We discussed the situation at length. If Nola Morin and Wilbur ellows were prosecuted, there would be the publicity that Mrs. Stapleton wanted to avoid. We sent for Mary and, for the first time, ac quainted her with what Nola Morin was attempting to do. She was al most overcome with amazement and horror. She was even more anxious than Mrs. Stapleton to avoid pub licity. The thing to do. if possible." I pointed out, "is to get Morin here without arousing her suspicions, and to keep Fellows under watch constantly. If that .won't work, we can force them to come here to gether." - Then what?" Judge Wentworth asked. If they will sign a complete con fession we can let them go. If not, we shall have to lock them up." "They wui sign. They wouldn't dare let It go to court," the Judge agreed. Nola Morin expects to hear from you quite soon; she won't stay op in Atlantic City for long. I will ret in touch with Phil at once, also with Sergeant Harper," I told them. An hour later I was with Ser geant Harper, explaining the whole situation. "The thing to do." he decided, "is to go after them now. If they get back home, discover that someone haa taken the box of evidence, they "We wouldn't mind that if we were sure they'd never trouble u, aergeanc- . "Better not take a chance." I telephoned Phil and learned that Morin and Fellows were still there. t It was easier than I thought it would be. sergeant Harper, with one of his men, went along with me up to Atlantic City and we sur prised them in their hotel room. Their attempted bluff didn't last two minutes. Morin was rather cool bat Fellows turned gray with fear when X told him that his previous record, and his-forgery of some Montieth checks, would help to keep him behind bars for twenty years or mora, r They : came along with- os : to Greatport and when, it being late, Harper jrat them, in the local jail for, safe keeping over night, they were : thoroughly frightened and subdued.

In custody' in an outer office while we had our session with Nola Morin. When, at Judge Wentworth's re quest, I brought out the little green wooden box, . Nola's eyes fairly popped. We had not told them about this. "It's all off," she said, "what's the use? What are you going to do with me?" "Let both of you go, if you will sign a confession," the judge as sured her. Naturally we did not let her know that she was to be kept right in Greatport, nnder strict sur veillance until we had solved the murder mystery, or, at least, until we had seen Professor Lardeau and satisfied ourselves that he was,' or was not, guilty of the crime. Mrs. Stapleton was present but Mary didn't care to be there. Now, first of all, Miss Morin-" I am Mrs. Fellows, Judge. That is on the leveL We have been mar ried more than a year," Nola ex plained. "Very well, Mrs. Fellows. There are many things we want cleared up. In the first place, how did yon know that your late mother had been helped to get out of Switzer- and and away from your father, by Gerard Montieth?" 'Both my mother and my aunt often talked about it. I knew that my real name was Lutzmann and that mother had given me her maidf en name of Morin." "How did it first occur to you to attempt this claim that Montieth was your father?" Nola hesitated and showed her first real anxiety. I have your word that yon will let both myself and'tny husband go?' ' If you tell the truth and sign a confession." "I want to be sure. I don't want to be let go and have Will held." "You will have to take our word for it, Mrs. Fellows. You have no alternative, either .this; or we prose cute." "Oh, an right When Aunt Grflda died Will and I were living in New York. Will had a small lob and I worked on a burlesque circuit part of the time. We went over to Ho- boken at once. I knew, of course. that Aunt Gnlda had no other rela tive. She was always good to me and I was sure she would leave me the house, which she did." "Andthen?" - "Well, naturally we poked around to see what we could find. There might be money tucked away, and bankbooks." . "And you found this green box?" the Judge asked. ." "Yes, but there was nothing but some old bonnets and bits of silk fa it. The old letters and things were in the secretary. You have seen that letter my mother wrote to Aunt ' GrOda, telling her she had seen Mr. Montieth in a restaurant where the was a hat-check girl?" The Judge nodded. - - - . Well,-Will became excited lit once and asked me all about it, which Montieth, where he lived, and every thing. I told him air that X knew. : (To be continued) ' CwritM ? torts kUm SbklkMlfUiMMliMt Independence and Silverton to Vie First Place Is at Stake With West Linn Also Crowding -Leader WILLAMETTE VALLEY LEAGUE W L T Pet.

'Due' to the "Oregon mist." no spectacular scores were turned in. Dr. D. C. Burkes of Portland won the big cup which had been hung up for log gross, turning in an 84. His low net of 72 was also good for first place and the medical kit awarded in that com petition. Dr. Vern Miller of Sa lem, with a handicap of 11, shot a gross of 86 and was second in both of those contests. There were also a number of prizes for closest tee shot to some of the par three holes, longest drive and similar marks of evcellence, which were rath er widely distributed among the contestants. Taking it all together, the tournament was a success and the visiting med ical men enjoyed It.
