Flynn. ® He went to San Jose that day and fhterviewed the officials of the “bank, who, when he flashed his shield. gave im all the information they possessed. “Well, then, we'll not bet, but if you can I'll give you a hundred dollars.” Stephen produced a hand mirror and held it about two feet in front of Flynn and about six inches above the level of his glance. He took out his watch. “Go!” he said. “And remember I'm watching you. If you get through this test successfully there’s hope for your arterior-sclerosis. P. Flynn grinned and gazed. In three minutes the effort oppressed him. Stephen's votce reached him as from tance, You are going to sleep, Sergeant.” Then, “You can't stand it, Sergeant You're going to sleep, I tell you—to sleep. 'm not,” Flynn protested drowsily, ust as his eyes closed and his head fell forward on his breast. Stephen’s soft hands stroked the de- tective's brow. “Why did you call to see me?” “To get you to identify the photo- graph,” Flynn's voice was faint. “Why was that necessary?” Flynn hesitated, struggled a little, but lay back quietly again as Stephen's facile hands resumed their light mas saging.

He shud- dered. “I con't know.” he replied. What is the name of the girl who escaped from San Quentin? “I don't know.” Stephen struck Flynn a smart slap on the top of the head. “Wake up,” | he commanded.

The committee did not seek at that time a formal approval of any project, but merely recommended that the trade organization approve at the proper time the action of Government officials now studying the projects, if they meet with the approval of the committee, Gen. Stephan reported that a very small number of the committee mem- bers were present when it met recently in the Armory. How:ver, he says they took much interest in the drill activities of the Guard, which were in progress at the time, and made a tour of the Arm building to determine the real nreds of the organization. He reported the committee discussed a number of proposals which have been advanced for providing the National Guard with permanent housing facilities and recommend-d that the Washington Chamber of Commerce indorse at the proper time the action of such officials of the Government as may recommend a solution of the local Guard Armory problem. ‘The committee was informed, he said, that & number of governmental agencies now are studying the situation and it is anticipated that recommendations will be made to Congress within the next two months. It is believad, he continued, that these recommendations of Government agencies should b2 in- dorsed unless at that time a special meeting of th: committee recommends otherwise, In the report. the commanding gen- eral did not give any information on the plans being worked out by the gov: ernmental agencies, but it is probable that they have to do with the proposed transfer to the Guard for armory pur- poses of the Pension Office Building in Judiciary Square. The governmental agencies which have been considering the matter are the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and a special committee of District of Co- lumbia officials appointed by the Board of Commissioners. Col. John W. Oeh- mann, commander of the 121st Regi- ment of Engineers, the largest unit in the local Guard, is a member of this committee. ‘The first inkling that the govern- mental agencies might make their re- port within a few months came from Gen. Stephan in his statement to the chamber. While the Guard officials originally sought the Pension Office Building, their plan at first did not meet with much favor, it was said, among War Department officials. Then the local Guard officlals formulated a plan for the acquisition of the Wash- ington \Auditorium, and a bill was in- troduced in Congress proposing to su- thorize its purchase. However, the Planning Commission then took a hand in the matter and formally voted against the placing of the Guard in the area where that building is located, RESORT ____ AUGUSTA.
