GO OV WITH TUB STOBY CHAPTER II A Titus Riggs drew near the crowd on the beach, ha found himself restrained by a stalwart policeman, who forbade him to advance another step. "Who is it?" he asked, and so pleasant was Riggs' manner, that the strong arm of the law unbent enough to answer.

"Garrett Folsom, they say," he replied, and Tite Riggs ejaculat- ed, "Good Lord!" though whether the words were an expression of pious gratitude or merely an ex, clamation of astonishment was not obvious. "Is he dead?" Riggs pursued. "As a doornail!" "Cramp? Stroke?" "How do I know?" returned the other. "Anyway, they gotta get him off the beach!" "I should think so. Is that a doctor bending over him?" "Guess so.

He seems to be giving orders. Though it ain't up to him to say what to do." "Who is it up to?" "I don't rightly know. But s'pose the life guards will take him to bis hotel and they'll see to him there." The life guards bore the body through the crowds, two or three uniformed officers making a way. and though followed by a horde of curiosity seekers, most of the beach population went back to the surf or the sands. Roger Neville and the two women who had been the bathing companions of the dead man conferred quickly as they stood on the beach.

"Yo'j'd bette your bathhouses and dress," he told the others, "and I'll do the same. Then hurry to the hotel; we'll all be asked for." "Why?" inquired the Duchess, her eyes wide with amazement. "We had nothing to do with his stroke, or whatever it was. I'm not going to get into the papers as a friend of Garrett Folsom's." "Why not?" asked Mrs. "There are lots of worse people tfean that man." "Ob, not that, but I object to publicity, and I won't be inter- Carolyn Wls BT KEA SERVICE PKX see" said Pelham.

"Send for the valet. Why isn't he here already?" Duchess said, with a relieved air. "Well, I'll get dressed anyhow. Come along, Carmy. It's spoiled our swim for today." "Don't be so heartless." said the other.

"I'm all upset. I think a sudden death is fearful. And we will be in the limelight, 1 don't care what Roger says. I think I'll go straight back home. Do you suppose his sister will come here?" "Don't Neville said, an Important man in wajs, but bis deatb won't make a dent down here.

One were promptly overruled, and the ghastly burden was carried to the office of the hotel and the ager as called for. The manager not being present for the moment, the room clerk stepped forward, closely followed by the vigilant hotel detectives. These two were promptly bowled over, as the doorman had been, by the information that the body they bore was one of the hotel's guests and must receive immediate attention.

"Who is it?" asked the flabbergasted room clerk, losing for once his imperial air. "Garrett Folsom," he was told of those strong-minded persons." and thereupon los his last rem They disappeared into their respective bathhouses and dressed as rapidly as they could in the so," the ters. Although the bathhouses belonging to the rfotel Majusaca were roomy compared with some, they were not luxurious dressing- rooms, and when the two women at last emerged they both expressed a desire to reach their own bedrooms unnoticed. This they accomplished and set to work to repair the ravages of an ocean bath. But though 'hey had reached a quiet haven, there was anything but quiet down in the hotel lobby, several floors beneath them.

The suave and impassive gentlemen who had the well-being of the hotel in their charge were upset one after another with terrific suddenness and swiftness. The pompous doorman was the first to be affected, and he was minded at first to refuse admittance to the sinister looking procession that carried a covered, still form on a stretcher. But hit halt-hearted objections nant of self-possession. "You'll have to take him away," he almost screamed. "We can i have anyiiiiiig like that here: The guests won't stand for it: The hotel can't have it! Take him to the morgue or the undertaker's--or--somewhere!" "Wait a minute," said the hotel detective, who was named Dison.

"What has happened?" One of the life guards answered him. "Mr. Folsom had a stroke or a fit of some sort, and died in the ocean or just after his being a situation. "Now. men please take the body to Room next my office over there?" He indicated a room across the lobby.

He beckoned to the hotel detective and called a clerk to his aid. then followed the men who bore the gruesome burden. As they turned back the cover- Ing blanket. Pelham saw the well- formed figure in its bathing suit ot gray jersey, with -three black stripes across the chest and a belt striped black and white. The face was calm and lifelike, the hair, though touseled by the waves, was orderly enough, and the man looked asjf merely unconscious rather than dead.

But Pelham's questing hand told him the heart had ceased to beat, and the briefest examination was enough to show that life had gone. "Stroke, of course," the manager said, looking at Dixon. "But we must have a doctor--" One looked at him down on the beach," the guard volunteered. "Doctor Manning, he was; he's in'the hotel here, and be eaid as bow Mr. Folsom was dead." "Dead? Of course he's dead.

But we must have a certificate and all- that. Has Doctor Manning come up from the beach yet?" Inquiry proved be had not, and saying, "That can wait, then," Pelham turned his mind to more immediate errands. "Who's In this man's party?" he asked Dixon. "Nobody. He's alone--or, 1 believe he has a valet--but no one else In his suite." "Has he a suite? A good one?" "One of the best.

Two rooms and bath. His valet sleeps on the same floor, but not in a connecting room." "I see. Send for the valet Why isn't be already here?" "We've only just come in, Mr? Pelham," said the life guard. "Will you take the matter in charge now? Can we go? We belong on the beach, you see." "Yes, yes, go on. I'll attend to this.

Leave your names with Mr. Dixon, in case he wants to see you again." He rang a bell for the room clerk. "Tuttle," the manager said to him, "was no one with Mr. Folsom here?" "Only his valet, a man named Ross." "Send for him. Who Mr.

Folsom's friends or associates?" "Mr. Neville, and two ladies were with him last evening. He only came yesterday afternoon." "I thought he was new. Neville's been here longer?" SENATE GROUP FLAYS SMITH Maine Jury Finds Turner Guilty of Murder of James Hallen WASHINGTON, D. Feb.

It- As a preliminary "to possible contempt proceedings, the senate campaign funds committee informed the senate today that it had been prevented from learning all the facts about Frank L. Smith's senatorial campaign, fund in Illinois because Samuel Insull, the public utilities operator; Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney of Cook county, and Daniel J. Schuyler, Insull's at torney, refused to answer questions put to them by the committee. Insull's contribution to Smith's campaign fund has acted as a bar to his obtaining the senate seat tc which he was appointed last December by Governor Small.

Pointing out that Insull declined to disclose the amount of his gifts to Crowe-Barrett republican organization of Cook county and that Crowe refused to go into details as to that organization's expenditures, the committee said: "Without support of that organization, Mr. Smith would pfobably have been defeated at the primary. The evidence sufficiently discloses that this organization expended considerable sums of money and that the whole effect of the money received by it went, -with the exceptions of negligible defections, to promote Mr. Smith's nomination. "Your committee respectfully reports that because of the recalcitrance and refusal of said witnesses to answer the interrogations addressed to them, your committee was unable to ascertain and Is therefore unable to report the amounts of money which was collected and expended, or the persons from whom collected, in to promote the nomination of Frank L.

Smith." The committee made a similar report with respect to Thomas W. Cunningham, clerk of the court of general session at Philadelphia, "Oh, yes ladies, a week." "I see. a weok or more.

Folsom's friends just yet. Were they in the water with him?" "Yes," said Dixon, "the guard told me so. They'll probably know which. Where's Mr. Pel-! ham, the manager?" "Mr.

Pelham is at his lunch; he'll be here in a minute. I've sent a boy for him," Dixon returned, keeping his head, as the room clerk grew more and more excited. And then Pelham came, and though greatly perturbed, lost none of his customary calm as he heard the scant details of the tragedy. "I see," he said, using his favorite expression of acceptance of I "They'll have to. We must learn from them as to Mr Folsom's home and people." A clerk appeared then, bringing a quiet-mannered, middle- aged man with him.

"This is Ross, the valet," he said, and giving the man an introductory push into the room, he' went out and closed the door behind him.

Dry Crusader Near End Of House Career WASHINGTON, D. Feb. 14---(AP)--Representative William D. Upshaw of Georgia sang the swan song of his congressional career in the house Saturday where for eight years he unfurled with persistent regularity the value banner of prohibition.
