By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, April 13 —Aroused by the acquittal in Federal Court of Texas Guinan, Police Commissioner Whalen in an address last night advocated a law forbidding employment of hostesses in night clubs. He declared the night club atmosphere to be a “vicious” one and said that the demand for girls between 16 and 18 years of age for hostesses was so great as to create a serious moral situation. Although he did not mention Miss Guinan by name, he said the publicity given the trial of a night club hostess this week, “was an affront to law and order.” “This question of a night club hostess is a very serious one,” he added. “It is becoming close to something else long since driven out of this community, and the young girls who read of this case will be led on by the publicity given her ‘heroism.” “It sickened me to see the publicity, for the person on trial this week was in the forefront in bringing young girls into this unwholesome atmosphere.” The commissioner spoke before the newly organized Church Laymen's Com- mittee of the Greater New York Federa- tion of Churches. He said he hoped the federation would get behind a movement to have a law enacted prohibiting em- ployment of night club hostesses in New York. Miss Guinan was acquitted of a charge of maintaining a nuisance through sale of liquor at a club where she was hostess. BISHOP BRENT RITES HELD IN LAUSANNE Many Nations Represented at Fu- neral Despite Wish for Simple Burial. By the Associated Press. LAUSANNE, Switzerland, April 13— To be buried simply and without os- tentation was one of the last wishes of Bishop Charles H. Brent of the Episco- pal Diocese of Western New York. Yet, yesterday many nations, religions and institutions spontaneously joined at®his funeral in a reverent tribute to his greatness. | His own country was first in the | long line of mourners today. Retiring Ambassador to England, Alanson B. came especially from Germany to pay a last tribute to his friend, while Hugh R. Wilson, Minister in this country, joined in the official American tribute. Several American consuls in Switzerland were also present, both at the church and the cemetery.

CHAPTER LXI. Y the time Shannon reached the police station Marshalt was sufficiently recovered to talk of his experiences. “Frankly, I can give you very little information, Capt. Shannon,” he said, “except about the begimning of this adventure. As you have probably discovered, I was lured into Malpas’ flat by a note, which asked me"—he hesitated—“to meet a lady there—a lady in whom we are both interested. I admit that it was the worst kind of folly for me not to have suspected a trap. The man hated me—a fact which is, I think, known to you. But I was curious to see him. I'd heard so much about this mysterious Mr. Malpas.” “When did the note reach you?” “About half an hour before I went out. I was dining at Rector's with some friends of mine, and, as a matter of fact, I was just leaving the house when ‘Tonger brought the note—as Tonger will tell you—-" “I'm afraid Tonger is beyond telling us anything,” said Dick quietly, and Lacy Marshalt stared at him. “Dead?” he said in an awe-stricken :i\'ihgspel'. “Good God! When did he e2" “He was found dead within half an hour of the attack upon you.” ‘The news seemed to strike the man speechless, but after a while he went on: “I don't know whether it was a pre- monition or whether it was a remem- brance of the warnings I had received, but before going out I went up to my room, took off my shirt and put on an old bullet-proof singlet that I wore when I was in the Balkans a few years ago looking for concessions. It was very uncomfortable, but, as it proved, thfs precaution saved my life. I went out without my overcoat, intending to walk back to my house, and knocked at the door of 551, which was immediately opened.” “You heard no voice?” asked Dick. Marshalt shook his head. “No, the door just opened. I expected to ses a servant there, but to my sur- prise_there was nobody visible, but I heard somebody from up the stairs say ‘Come up.’ Naturally, I followed the instructions. I walked into a big room, heavily draped with velvet, but empty. Then it was I began to feel a little sus- picious, and was walking out of the room when, to my amazement, the door closed in my face. The next moment I heard somebody laugh, and, looking round, I saw a man, who was obviously disguised, standing at the far end of the room. ‘I've got you now!” he said. “He had & revolver n his hand, one of the old-fashioned kind. Realizing the impossibility of getting out of the room, I ran toward him. I hadn't taken two steps before I was tripped by & wire, and rose only to be caught again. I thought he was bluffing, and my, ob- Ject was to get to him and take the gun away from him. I was only a few paces from him when he fired, and that is all I remember, until I woke up in dread- ful pain, and I guessed—Ilook!” He pulled ppen his shirt and showed a pink discoloration the size of a man's hand. on the left side of his chest. “Where were you when you recovered consciousness?” “I remember very little clearly after that,” said Marshalt frankly. “I must have been awake often, and dnce I re- member the old man jabbed a needle into my arm. It was the stab of the needle that woke me then, I think. I tried to rise and grapple with him, but I was as weak as a child. From time to time I have come to my senses, but always in a different place, until I woke one evening in that dreadful cel- 15& handcuffed and helpless. Malpas whs looking down at me. He did not tell me who he was, and although I racked my brains I couldn't recognize him. But apparently I had done him some bad injury in South Africa. He told me that night was my last on earth. It was when he had gone that I found the paper, and fortunately there was a stub of pencil in my pocket. I waited my opportunity, It was a terrible business getting to my feet, but eventually I succeeded and was able to push up the note to a young man who peered down; he seemed so startled at the sight of a man in eve- ning dress—and what an evening dress! —that he nearly bolted.” “You've no recollection of being taken back to Portman square?” Lacy shook his head. “None whatever. Now tell me about poor Tonger. How terrible! Who killed him? Do you think it was Malpas?” “Tell me one thing, Mr. Marshalt: Is there any kind of passage or doorway between your house and Malpas'? I will admit that I have made a very cereful examination without discover- ing any.” Marshalt shook his head. “If there is, Malpas must have made it, but I doubt it.” He frowned. “Now you mention the fact, I remember that I made a complaint once about a knocking noise that I heard. Both I and Tonger have heard those knocks from time to time. What he was doing I can't tell you. By the way, did Stan- ford get to my house? It occurred te me in my few waking moments that some time ago I named this man to take charge of the house in case any- thing happened to me.” “Why did you do that?” asked Dick. “It happened years ago, when I knew Stanford and was more_{riendly with him than I am now. In fact, to be candid, before I knew that he wasn't straight and honest. It was at a time when there was a scare—you remem- ber, a gang kidnaped a Greek million- aire and held him to ransom? So Stan- ford is at the house?” He pulled a wry face. “Probably it is all right,” he said, “and, 1f I remember, the stipend would insure me against—well. I won't do him that injustice,” he added, “but really, he is not the type of man I would have chosen.” He offered Dick his hand. “I can't be sufficlently grateful to you for all you've done for me, Capt. Shannon. You've saved my life. If you'd been even five minutes later—" ' He shivered. Dick did net reply at once, and when he spoke he made no reference to the service he had given to the millionaire. “Will you tell me this, Mr. Marshalt?” he said. “Though you say.you did not recognize Malpas, you must have had some idea as to who it was, some lin- gering suspicion?” Marshalt hesitated. “I have,” he said. “My own impres- sion—you will think it is fantastic— Malpas is a woman!” (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.)
