Harding's Scheme for Reorganization Meets Opposition Combined Forces Behind Sol diers’ Bonus and Reclama tion Projects Hostile to Proposed Move. I»y GEORGE F. AUTHIKR. " ifhinicton Correeponilrnl Omnlm Bee. Washington, Jan. 2—(Special.)— President Harding's plans for reor ganization of the machinery of gov ernment today ran up against the combined forces that are backing bonus legislation and appropriations for reclamation of arid lands. Supporters of reclamation, headed by Senator McNary, republican, Ore gon, are backing the position taken by Senator Fall, which is in opposi tion to the conservation program Urged by the Clifford Plnchot school and which has the approval of the middle western group of senators and house members. The latter group holds that there should bo no further appropriations for the development of arid lands until farm land already under cultivation is brought up to a higher level of efficiency. Capper Fears Overproduction. Senator Capper, republican, Kan sas, chairman of the farm bloc, said today that he could see no reason for further development of arid lands at present, In view of the fact that the «*hief difficulty facing farmers today was overproduction. The McNary group of reclamation advocates, who have joined forces with the bonus senators and house members who are planning to pass tile proposed Fordney bonus bill this season, expressed considerable bitter ness over the trend which the reor ganization scheme is taking and see in It a threat against any reclamation legislation. H ills Progress, Claim. "The whole purpose of the Pinchot school of reclamation," one of the Pa cific coast senators said today, "is to pot progress in cold storage for the next 100 years. The fight is not to he settled by according Score tar; Wal lace complete control of Alaskan for ests and tiy yielding to the Pinchot school of conservationists, xvbo have sold their idea to the secretary #of agriculture anjl to the Capper school of farm journalists. "Mr. Wallace has given evidence of hostility to further reclamation projects, llis f!ght with Secretary Kali is more deep seated than control of Alaskan forests. It deals with the Whole subject of western reclamation, j af which Secretary Full Is an earnest i supporter. The reorganization hill I will he dealt with in the light of its relationship to this important ques- I lion of western development.” Western Supporters Confident. Western advocates of reclamation believe they will he able to swing bonus members with them in oppos ing giving support to the Pinchot sctiool of conservation since success of the bonus bill depends upon new •Support it may gain from the recla mation senators who are supporting the Smith-McNary bill. This bill pro poses to appropriate 1300,000,000 for the development of new reclamation projects. \ ADVERTISEMENT. TO DARKEN HAIR APPLY SAGE TEA Look Young!

(Copyright, 1922.) (Continued from Y««terday.) 'But I did. Helen persisted, spurred by Lockwood’s manner. ‘‘I noticed it on the chair, a clear pat tern of the trimming of the collar and two rows down the back. And then I saw Mr. Lockwood rub it off the chairback with utmost care. And today, when I saw Miss Austin's dress. I recognized it at once. She was here that night—Mr. Lockwood knew it—and he erased the marks—” "Helen, don't be so ridiculous!” Lockwood spoke now in a soft drawl that made Helen flush with anger. “I'm not ridiculous! Am I, Mr Cray? It's evidence, isn't it? It proves that girl was here—doesn’t It? And Gordon did rub it off—Tto saw him. too. and I saw him. He was rubbing the chair when I came to cull him to breakfast — he can’t deny it.” ‘‘I do deny it,” Lock wood said Quietly. "Miss Pevton is excited and doesn’t remember accurately.” “Nothing of the sort!" blazed Helen “It's all true. Gordon won't admit It because-" “Helen. hush!” Gordon’s look stooped her at once. “Don't say things you'll regret." "But T don't regret them,” put in Crnv. "A!' this is important. Mr Lockwood, do you denv obliterating these marks in Question"' “Of rour«p T do," TiOokwnnn srrtiif*n slightly. "If T was moving the chair tnoehlng it when a'iss Peyton came to call me to breakfast T don t t e member it. At any rate, it was witli no intention of removing evidence.” r.orrt.w T.ockWood told these false hoods with as calm ar air a« he would have shown in making truthful state nients. TTp was not only deenlv in love with Anita Austin, hut lie did not and would not believe her guilty of crime, or of any rontii -1 ion with a crime Wherefore, he was ready and willing to tetl any number of lies to save or shield her. And front his manner none could gopss he was saying other than abso lute truth. “Pot leotr here.” snoke tin Maurice Trask. “This won’t do. you know on vno neooie accusing n e-trl of Pr Waelng's murder? A girl'” “Not accusation yet.” Cray told him. "hut we want to know more about the young lady In onest'on Tn fact, she’s been dubbed Miss Mvstery paceu«e so little is known about her “Miss Mvsterv, eh? And she came here to see the doctor the night he died’”’ "Phe did not!” T.oekwood asserted calmly. “Had she done fo, I should have known it.” “Of course, you would.” Trask looked at him shrewdly. “Of course But the Impress of her clothing was left on the chairbaek? Ts that it?” “That’s It.” said Helen, sharnlv “Act —bon fortv-leyen other things prove her presence here that evening 1 don't know why Mr. Lockwood so positively denies it. He must have a deen Interest in the young lady!” Helen's spitefuiness was ttndis guised. and her mother looked pained and regretful. Both these women had hoped that Gordon Lockwoods affec tions might turn toward Helen, and the older one realized that such snoecbes ns this would in no way fur ther their plans.

RIoooiA.Id. m. j. a-a ■MaMaMINBWMaMiMMi But Helen was thoroughly jealous of Miss Mystery for more reasons than one and she let her unbridled tongue expose her feelings. Cray knew all this, and therefore took 1 lelen's statements with a grain of wilt. And yet, lie soliloquized, she would scarcely make up that rigma role of the dress trimming. He fan cied it was true. And why shouldn't it be? The evidence of Anita Austin's presence In John Waring'* study that fatal night was far too strong to be ignored. Moreover, the girl's pos session of the money and the ruby pin had yet to be satisfactorily ex plained. It was unthinkable that any one should have stolen these things and "planted" them in Miss Austin’s bureau drawer! "I'd like to see this young woman, ’ said Trask, suddenly. "I'm going over to see her now, come along," invited Cray, who was a little impressed by the perspicuity of this stranger. “I'm going, too," declared Helen Peyton, and as Lockwood couldn't keep away, they all went over to the Adams house. In the cozy sitting room they con gregated, and Mrs. Adams went up stairs to summon Anita. She found the room locked. When, in response to a repeated summons, the door was opened, Mrs. Adams faced a tearful, sad-faced girl, who asked Indifferently what was wanted. "You’ll have to come downstairs,” the landlady said; "Mr. Cray is there, ] and—and some others. They want , to seo you." "1 won't go down. I don't want to see anybody." “I guess you'll have to.” Mr*. Adams spoke a little crisply. "It's a —a summons. You've got to come. ' "Oh." Miss Austin’s manner changed. "Well. I will then. Wait till 1 bathe my face." Mrs. Adams came in, closed the j door and waited. She felt sorry for | Miss Mystery, but she also felt sus | picious of her. Perhaps the mystery would now be cleared up. The good woman was about to speak kindly to her strange boarder, but as she watched she lust the de sire to help her. For, to Mrs. Adams’ primitive no tions. the girl was doing dreadful things. Having bathed her tear-stained face, Miss Mystery proceeded to powder it lightly, and, horror of hor rors. she added the merest kick of rouge to her pale cheeks. And not content with such baseness she stoop ed to further degradation and touched her pale lips with some hea thenish contraption that made them just a little redder! No, Mrs. Adams had no sympathy for a girl who would do such awful things, and she waited in a grim and stony silence Then Miss Mystery fluffed out her pretty dark hair a little more over her ears, settled her sailor collar, with its row of tiny buttons for trim ming. and with a critical glance at her shoes, signified her readiness to go downstairs. Still In disapproving silence, Mrs. Adams marched by her side, and they went together to face the visitors. The attitude of the girl as she en tered the room was a triumph of per fection. Her beauty, which usunlly needed no artificial aid, was striking, and her large dark eyes rested on each in turn with an air of innocent won der, quickly followed by a pathetic, beseeching little smile that touched the heart of several auditors, even though they deemed it disingenuous. Maurice Trask, shrewd and calcu lating, sized her up, as he would have expressed it And his sizing up was decidedly complimentary. So much so, in fact, that he almost concluded to take her part against all comers. "I'm for lier," she said to himself, “and yet," he added, to the same con fidant. "she's nobody's fool! That girl knows what she's about—and by jingo, if she wanted to kill a mn% she could kill him! I’ll say she could!” It was Miss Austin s dress that caught everyone’s eye. Not a per son present, among the visitors, but wanted to say, "turn around—oh, do!" Hut the girl sank into a low chair beside Saltonstall Adams and quietly awaited developments. "May I present Mr. Trask," Cray said, a little awkwardly, for it was not easy to be casual under the glance of those pathetic eyes. Anita bowed courteously if coldly, and then there was an embarrassing silence. "Weil," Trask remarked, at last, "you people are not very talkative, guess I'll take the helm myself. Miss Austin, will you bo good enough lo get up and turn around?” The request was so simply made, that, almost without thinking of its strangeness, Anita did exactly as she was asked. Sure enough, there were two rows of buttons down the back of her bodice, and another row across the sailor collar. At a nod from Trask she sat down again, and then the storm broke. "I told you so!” cried Helen Peyton "That's the very dress that made the marks on that chair back! Dare you deny. Miss Austin, that you were in Dr. Waring's study that night he died'.’” The dark eyes of Miss Mystery opened wide in horror. She seemed fairly paralyzed with fright, and glanced wildly from one face to an other. Maurice Trasks showed only frank admiration. He looked at the girl as if he had never before seen any one so attractive. Gordon Lockwood's face betrayed no emotion of any sort. Had lie been indifferent to Miss Mystery instead of loving her, as he did. he could have shown no less expressive coun tenance. And all the others present showed definite and decided suspicion, scorn and hatred. Except one. Old Salt looked kindly at the agitated girl. Ho even held out a protective hand, and with a gentle inflection, said: "Tell the truth, dear child. Did you know Dr. Waring?" Slowly Miss Mystery's eyes travel ed round the room. Looking at each face in turn, her own expression be came more and more hard and stub Dorn. Then, seeing the kindness on the face of Old Salt, she broke down I utterly and sobbed out: "Oh, he's dead—he's dead! What shall I do?" Maurice Trask looked at Miss Mys tery with rapidly growing Interest and curiosity. She seemed so young and helpless and she was so pretty and so pathetic that he immediately decided she could not be mixed up In any wrong-doing. He also decided, for he was a tnan of quick conclusions, that this was the girl for him. Hav- j ing his new fortune, he wanted a wife 1 to help him enjoy it, and where could i he find a more utterly desirable girl than Miss Austin? Straightforwardly he asked: "Did Doctor Waring make love to! you? Did you love him?" The others looked aghast at these suggestions, and then Mrs. Adams said: "Yes, she did! I saw her one night, kissing Doctor Warlng’s picture." Cray turned on Anita. "Did you love that man?" he asked, sternly. "If you did, you surely didn't kill him.” "Of course, she didn’t kill him,” TONIGHT AT 8:15 P. M. EMIL 1 I elmanyI VIOLINIST Ticket* 50c, $1, $1.50 and $2.

Several of those listening waited breathlessly for a response. Gordon Lockwood, for one, could scarcely control his impatience to hear the answer.
