Drake Roscoe of the United States Navy is on the trail of a mys- { terious criminal band known as the Zome gamo and directed by a chief called “Head Centre.” Roscoe himself is marked for death, so he assumes a | disguise and is known as Ramon de Sa, @ dancer from the Argentine. With the aid of a friend, Dr. Stopford, he makes % his investigations, while Mme. Czerna, a member of the gang, reports their move- ments to “Head Centre.” Her duties be- ecome obnozious, however, when she finds * herself falling in love with Stopford. { Acting under orders, she goes to a tea in the partment of Father Burke, whose drother, John Burke, is a deputy com- missioner of police. Stopford and Roscoe ' (disoused as De Sa) are to be there. Mme. Czerna is to be escorted by Gaston Pascal. whom she does mot know. Com- missioner Burke while on his way to see his brother is kidnaped. druoged and taken to gang headquarters. He is soon released and returns to headquarters, dazed. but without memory as to what has happened. However, he has dome the thing “Head Centre” wished. Acting under a hypnotic spell, he has ordered the release of a number of versons held as Zome oang suspects. Roscoe thus loses @ valuable opportunity to uncoser * clues. He ventures the opinion that Gaston Pascal, who bears a remark- adle resemblance to Napoleon, is ““Head Centre.” [ “What did you do?

Dusk was creeping over the home of | Page Sutton. Dr. Stopford looked from the window at a delicate landscape in silver and green. Beyond the smooth lawn was the shrubbery from which trees upstarted like watchful sentinels, marking the boundary of the grounds. Between them he could see the waters of the Sound. Faint bird notes were audible, together with the persistent pulsing of a motor boat. A peaceful Summer evening, but to the eye of the man staring from the window every shadow suggested a men- ace; for the home of Page Sutton was within the Zones—those mysterious THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 'x'hel door opened and Drake Roscoe cams “Yes, Stopford,” said he, and Joined his friend at the window. “Appearances are often deceptive.” Page Sutton stood up at the end of the long room. “Do you think I was wise to send for you, Comdr. Roscoe?” he asked. “And do you think you were wise to come?” Drake Roscoe swung around d stood squarely braced in that odd man- ner which identifies one who has fol- lowed the sea. “Mr. Sutton,” he replied, am in- debted to you for the' chance. Long | months ago I blundered onto the ex- istence of the organization called lhl' Zones. Here, tonight, I say frankly, I know no more about the Zones, and }bout the man who controls them, than did at the beginning of my job.” ‘The fourth occupant of the room, a heavily built, dark-featured man, re- lighted some 3 inches of cigar which he held grimly between his teeth. ‘Commmder he said, addressing Roscoe, “you are going to learn lhings tonight.” Roscoe nodded. Since Ned W. Regan had numbered Kings among his clients, the statement was worthy of respect. “What I can’t cope with” Stopford declared, “is how, considerin’ the team | up against 'em, those Zone blokes keep | their wicket up. You've got about 12.-| 000 police, not to mention the United States Navy an’' Army. Then theres Regan with_platoons and platoons of detectives. Yet—well!—the answer is, Search me.” Drake Roscoe began to walk up and down. “Let’s understand one another, Mr. Sutton,” said he. “Forgive me if I touch on intimate matters, but I want to get my data clear. Check me if I'm wrong, Regan; but as I see the facts, they are these: “You, Mr. Sutton, have for years submifted to blackmail. I understand that less a sum than a million dol- lars has been exacted from you by a certain organization. You lost your wife six months ago. Her death de- prived the blackmailer of the hold which he had had upon you. You are now out of the power of this group, Am I right so far?” Page Sutton nodded. “Very well,” Roscoe continued. “Prior to the death of your wife you had been endeavoring to obtain information | which would enable you to checkmate these people. Mr. Regan had been se- cretly working for you. Am I right, Regan?” “You're right as right,” growled the detective; “but don't rub it in that I fell down.” ‘Since you have ceased payment,” Roscoe went on, “there have been at- tempts to intimidate you.

But at a price—" “Twenty thousand dollars” Regan in- erjected violently. “I told him not to pay i at a price,” Roscoe went on, “he placed in your possession certain details respecting this criminal group.’ “I'm here to ses 'em!” said Regan. { Page Sutton waved his hand for si- ence.

Bramley of Cleveland. By the Associated Press. BOSTON, March 20.—A year's cruise in quest of a “dream island” in the Pacific by M. F. Bramley of Cleveland has ended here with customs officers selzing two cases of choice liquor on his yacht. Bramley, a contractor, sought an island he said he had seen in a dream to_establish a kingdom independent of all nations. With the return yesterday of his yacht, the Peary, customs men found the liquor in a guest room. Capt. C. V. Griffin, skipper, disclaimed all knowledge of the liquor and it was removed. ‘The Peary, formerly used by Mac- Millan in Arctic expeditions, left here a year ago last month. The “dream island” was found on the Cortz Shoals about 100 miles off the coast of South- ern California. Swift currents and 30 or more feet of water covered the site and reclamation by sea walls or filling was declared impracticable, Dr. 8. P. Englehardt of the Brooklyn Museum of Art and Science, J. C. R Pallister of the Cleveland Museum of tural History and J. R. Carter of Cleveland were on the cruise Scientific collections were made in Central American_countries. Bramley and the party left the yacht Tecently at Newport News, Va. DON'S TIME EXTENDED FOR SPEED ATTEMPTS Beach Conditions Improved by Northeast Wind, and Trial May Be Made Today.

NEW YORK, March 29.—There is| reason to believe that .the Federal | Reserve Bank of New York has changed its easy money policy. It is no longer | intent upon forcing rates down but now aims rather to stabilize them around current low levels. It is understood that no further cut in the discount rate here is contem- plated unless the Bank of England | should make another reduction and thereby virtually force New York to| lower its rate. The attitude of the New York Reserve Bank is said to be that, with money rates where they are, business has no cause to complain of high money. Rates, it is held, are sufficiently cheap for all legitimate purposes. Cheap Money and Speculation. The further point is made that should money rates be forced to still lower levels, the excessively cheap money that would be created might prove to be an evil rather than a bene- it to the community. It is commented that cheap credit would perhaps cause another orgy of speculation on the Stock Exchange, with a possible repe- tition of last Autumn’s debacle. Again, it might also cause speculation in com- modities, with all of the evils naturally incidental to that form of gambling. Bankers also contend that there is really no occasion for a further cut in the discount rate here, because of the evident lack of demand for Federal Re- serve credit. They call attention to the fact that member banks are not borrowing from the Federal Reserve banks. That is true of the entire sys- tem. Latest statistics on member bank borrowings show that they total but $51,000,000. A year ago the member bank borrowings aggregated the siz- able sum of $711,000,000. There then was a real demand for Reserve credit. British Rate. An interesting corollary of the new policy is that the New York Reserve Bank no longer maintains a differen- tial between its discount rate and that of the Bank of England. Both banks now discount at 3!, per cent and have done so far two weeks, yet no change is contemplated here. That is a decided reversal of the policy, long pursued, of maintaining a differential of 1, of 1 r cent in favor of the Bank of Eng- and, with the object of aiding the London bank to conserve its gold re- serves. sult, has succeeded in accumulating the largest gold reserves in several years. | Evidently the New York bank no longer sees the Bank of England requiring its help to that extent. ‘The change flrollcy of the New York bank is indicated not alone by its de- cision not to lower the discount rate, but in other directions as well. For FEDERAL RESERVE IS DECLARED ANXIOUS TO STABILIZE RATES| Policy of Board Believed Centered on Maintaining Present Charges as Aid to Business. |and foreign bankers in the market for The Bank of England, &s a re- | weeks the bank had assumed the ag- gressive in forcing rates down in the A Sy open market for bank acceptances. That was done by the simple expedient of keeping its bill buying rate down to the level of the open market rate. That policy established the reserve bank as a competitor of member banks, dealers bills at a time when the supply was limited. The competitive buying nat- urally had the effect of forcing rates down. Buying Rate Held. ‘That policy was abruptly changed this week when the Federal Reserve Bank stiffiy held its buying rate at 3 per cent while open market rates dropped to as low a level as 2! per cent. The effect of the reserve pclicy was to cause a slight recovery in the open market. It is true that bill hold- ings of the Reserve Bank increased, but that was said to have been due largely te repurchase agreements entered :nto with dealers. A further ir dteation of the change of credit policy is seen in a drop of $33,- 400,000 in the bank's holdings of Gov- ernment securities.

By the Associated Press. NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 29.—An estranged husband late yesterday killed his mother-in-law, shot his wife and wounded his father-in-law before he was finally shot down by a 14-year-old brother-in-law. Lying on a hospital bed, probably fatally wounded, Raymond Stone, 27, told police he killed Mrs. Jeff Poin- dexter, 44; wounded his wife, Roxie, | 23, and shot her father, Jeff Poindex- | ter, 50, before his wife’s brother, Dave | Poindexter, 14, grabbed his pistol and shot him down. “Since two months ago, when she | filed divorce papers against me, my wife has refused to let me go and see my child,” Stone said. “I went to her parents’ home this afternoon to take her and Paul, who is 3 years old, back home with me.” Dave Poindexter, after questioning by police, was released. —_——— Among the recent gifts to Edinburgh University, in Scotland, were 280 pho- nograph records of Hebridean folk songs made by the islanders themselves. WIFE DEATH HINT CHARGED TO ARTIST Marchand Said He Didn’t Care Whether She Lived, Squaw Testifies. By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y., March 29.—The strange talk of the white man’'s court stilled yesterday and the Indians trailed back to their cattaraugus reservation to muse over a law demanding the lives of two of their women for murdei Li : Jimerson and Nancy Bowen re- maired in their cells in the bleak county jail. They will face the judge and jury next week to hear once more the charges and denials that Lila, lov- ing a white artist, induced old Nancy to slay his wife by telling the withered old Cayuga the white woman was & witch. Ann Snow does not like Marchand, she told the court yesterday, because he “bothered” Lila. She had heard Marchand say during a visit to the Jimerson home, so she told her Indian interpreter and he told the court, that the artist “mentioned something about that he didn’ care if his wife didn't live.” , District Attorney Guy B. Moore wanted to know why she had not told him this when he asked her if Marchand had ever said any- thing about his wife, and Ann explained she had only heard Marchand say it to some one else. ‘The defense today was weighing the advisability of placing Lila on the stand. Lila is ready to testify if her attorneys so_advise. Marchand was resting in the county jail today following his court ordeal. He branded as false the statement on the witness stand of Ann Snow that she had heard him remark he did not care if his wife didn't live.
