WENTY-S8IX officers of tie Navy will begin next Tuesday a year’s course of instruction in the Naval Finance and Sup- ply School, which marks the second year of existence of this institution. During the past Summer the five faculty officers, Capt, David Potter, Capt. C. 8. Baker, Lieut. Comdr. C. J. Harter, Lieut. Comdr. R. L. Mabon and Lieut. E. A. Eddiegorde, all of whom served in this capacity last year, have been engaged in the study of the cur- riculum and in the writing of new lectures as well as in the modification of some already given. The system of instruction adopted last year will be followed by the 1935-36 class, that is, the lectures will be supported by extensive practical instruction. by written recitations, and by round- table conferences. Officers designated to attend the school include Lieuts.’J. K. Lynch, G. W. Bauernschmidt, A. S. Keeth, W. E. Gist, M. W. Pemberton. R. J. Arnold, J. J. Levasseur, J. E. Wolow- <ky, J. B. Ricketts, F. M. Hook, and Lieuts. (Junior Grade) C. J. Naumil- ket, J. R. Hanna, Yates Stirling, 3d.; W. E. Pratzke, Jack Agnew, Albert Konigsberg, C. A. Lizberg, J. W. Crumpacker, J. F. Just, 8. A. Ernst, R. M. Humes, T. J. Montgomery. C. P. Faires, jr., and Lawrence Smith. The judge advocate general of the tions involving interpretation of cer- | tain_ sections of the Navy personnel acts of March 3, 1931, and July 22, 1935, particularly as to the status of lieutenants of less than 21 vears of commissioned service who reach the | age of 45 years. Section 3 of the 1935 act reads as follows: “That lieutenants with less than 21 years’ commissioned service shall become ineligible for promo- tion on June 30 of the fiscal year in | which they attain the age of 45 years. Provided, further, that no officer of Navy has under consideration ques- | | said rank shall become so inelizible | prior to June 30, 1936." The act of 1931, section 5, provides that “all offi- cers who are not on the promotion list and who, after completion of the des- ignated periods of service as prescribed for their respective grades, become in- | eligible for consideration by a selec- ! tion board in accordance with this act * * * shall be transferred to the | retired list.” | It has been assumed that the language in the 1935 act means that | lieutenants not on the promotion list | of less than 21 years of commissioned ’servlct would be retired on June 30 ! of the fiscal year in which they reached the age of 45 years, but the ’clnumn do not defnitely say that. | Therefore. it has been found neces- | sary to have an interpretation of these acts. Apparently, the problem requires determination of the ques- tion whether lieutenants 45 years of age not on the promotion list are tc be considered to have completed the designated period of service as prescribed for that grade and thus shall be retired. Retention of this class of officers in the grade of lieu- tenant until they complete 21 years of service would not block promo- tions to that grade. Army. Under the policy determined upon by tke War Department governing the selection and appointment of student officers to attend the 1936-37 course at the command and general staff school, 212 officers from the arms will be detailed to pursue this course of instruction. To be eligible to take this course officers must be selected from non-graduates of the school of the line, the general staff school or the command and general stafl scheol, and they must not be included on the General Staff Corps eligible list. In addition, they must be given the grade of second lieu- tenant and be less than 48 years of age on September 1, 1936. INSTALLMENT XX. NN'S life during the three weeks following their return from Boston was as unreal as had been the news of Deane Run- brecker’s brutal death. One was as in- credible as the other. She seemed to be two persons now— the girl she had been in Elmville and this Ann of Washington—being ques- tioned almost daily by the police, try- !ing to hold her mind to her work | through the long days, sleeping fit- | fully at night, momentarily expecting | to be pulled out of bed and plied with questions again. Mollie had opserved the change in | her and tried to persuade her to take % a week off and go home for the Christ- mas holidays. Lee, too, had been worried about her, and though he had been to the apart- ment several times each week and had | twice taken her to lunch, he had had the good sense not to talk about the subject nearest his heart. Once only | Mr, Prender with a chair and bridge members from the class that receiveq had he referred to it. That was the lamp. Anacostia Council met, with Coun- selor A. O. Kroll presiding. Three new applications for membership were received. Bennings Council met, with Coun- | selor Elmer Connick presiding and welcomed Past Counselor J. W. Kid- | well, a charter member of the council. The applications of R. T. Robey, G. C. Robey and W. C. Schlorb for mem- bership were received. Chairman of the memorial services, C. Long, out- lined the program which will be held in the Buchanan School, October §, at 8 o'clock. State Counselor Edwin | Rev. B. F.

It was quite a small part, which he made important by the sheer force of his acting. The late Charles Frohman of New York said as he saw the play, “I am going to take that man to America and star him.” And he did, with the result that every one knows. Bargain for Death.

There won't be any fuss. | we'll just run over to Elkton some ! early morning. come back and hop in the old ship and take off for parts un- known.” Afterward Ann wondered why she hadn’t jumped at the chance. It meant getting away from Washington and starting afresh. She told Lee: “I wouldn't be fit to Not the way things are now. There’ll be an end to all this | some day, I hope, and then I'll be able | to think and know what I ought to do. | You go on back to California and when | you come East run in to see me.” But Lee had stayed on, without | knowing exactly why himself, and only 1 tonight he had come up for a few min- | utes with Bill and had gone off with- | out saying anything about going back | to what he called his job. | In the darkness of the bed room Ann | watched the nightly procession of | memories that began with her first ar- | rival in Washington, every somber re- flection pulling another along behind it, until, step by step, she came bnck‘ to the present. | After three weeks the police were| | not able to throw any light on the| | mysterious murder of Deane Run- | | brecker. At 8:12 Deane had been| with them in the lobby of the Boston | Lecture Hall. Within the next five | minutes he had gone down to the | men’s lounging room. Less than eight ! hours later his dead body had been found in the Speaker's chair in the | House of Representatives in Wash- | ington. | As far as she knew, the police had | added but one important detail. | Walking his rounds at 3:30 in the morning, a member of the Capitol police had noticed chalk writing on the locked door of the House of Rep- read: “Look in the Speaker's chair.” The man had reported to his su- perior, and together they had gone into the chamber and discovered Deane’s body. That was all. Ann had not been questioned alone. Always they were called together— Bill, Carl, Rita, Mollie and Ann. ‘Though none of them had seen Selma since her brother’s tragic end, Mollie brought the information that Selma has been questioned twice, once alone and once with her father. It was the same tiresome examina- tion each time, as if the police thought that by perseverance they would wear their nerves down to the point where there would be a disagreement. . . . Q. I believe you said, Miss Winslow, that Deane Runbrecker had lunch with the rest of you at about 1 o'clock Monday afternoon. Is that correct? Mollie: Yes. Q. Do you, Miss Rogers, recall where he sat? Ann: Vaguely, yes. Winslow and his sister. Q. Is that your recollection also, Miss Manley? Rita: Yes; but it wasn’t important then, and I might be mistaken. Q. To get back to your statement a few moments ago, Mr. Balmer, you told us. I think, that after lunch you and Mr. Hudson and Deane Run- brecker left the hotel together in Mr. [} \ Between Miss resentatives and on closer inspection | iln ! Hudson's car. Did the three of you stay together all afternoon? Carl (who has been asked this ques- tion at least 10 times before): We did not. Deane wanted to visit a friend at Harvard. so Mr. Hudson drove us over to Cambridge and let us out at Harvard Square. As I have explained several times before, I had promised to keep an eye on Deane while we were away, but I had no reason to believe he would try to skip: 80 while he went into the college yard I went across to the co-operative store apd browsed around. Deane had promised to meet me there in 30 minutes. After waiting almost two hours. I took a subway train back to Boston, called the police from a Tre- mont street drug store and gave them Deane’s description and then, on chance, went to the South Station, where I found Deane at a ticket win- dow. Q. Did he offer any explanation as to why he hadn't met you, as he had promised to do? Carl: Only that he was sorry he had gone to Boston and had decided to take the first train back to Wash- ington. Q. I see. So then you took him back to the hotel? Carl: No. We had an afternoon to kill, so we took a taxi back to the Common. Deane wanted to go to the movies, and I agreed. It was 7 o'clock when we came out, which meant we were too late to have dinner with the others at the hotel. Q. Now, Miss Rogers (Ann uncon- sciously stiffened every time her name was spoken), will you tell us again when was the last time you saw Deane Runbrecker alive? That was the way it went. The same questions over and over again. “Why can't they think up a new set of questions?” she wailed after one of these sessions. “Do they think one of us killed Deane and sprouted wings and flew down to Washington and propped the body up in the chair and then flew back to Boston? Can't they see were telling the truth?" Xk As Ann and Rita were leaving the office one noon a man wearing a cap and dark glasses reached into the crowd in the corridor and caught Ann’s arm. Rita was the first to recognize Lee, but when she was about to speak his name. he put a finger to his lips and shook his head. “I get it.” Rita said. “Greta Garbo stuff. Well, children, this is where Rita gets the air, I suppose.” “Do you mind?" Lee asked. quietly. Rita said she did not mind and walked away grinning. “There's a sort of dug-out up the street,” Lee said to Ann. “It will be safer than a fussier restaurant—if you can stand it.” After 15 minutes of almost com- plete silence, they left the lunch | room and Lee signaled a taxi.. Ann | protested that she hadn't time to go | anywhere, but Lee got her into the | taxi. “We're just getting out of the | crowd,” he said. They stopped at Seventeenth and M streets. Lee walked with his hands shoved deep down in the pockets of his coat. | Lee spoke again. | “aAnn” he said, not looking at her, “I'm heading for home at 5 o'clock.” Ann looked up. “For California— tonight?” He nodded. “Thought I'd try to | set a new mark for the East-to-West | hop. If nothing happens to prevent | it, I'll have breakfast with my mother "ln Los Angeles.” | . Ann counted the lines in the side- | walk they crossed. After a time she | said, “I'll miss you, Lee. You've been {awfully nice to me.” And then, moved by a generous impulse that | was as much a surprise to her as to Lee, she told him, “I hope you'll tell | your mother how sorry I am about what happened at the hospital. From her point of view, she was right, and I shouldn't have resented what she | said.” “Funny,” Lee smiled, “but Mother |says she was wrong. I was to de- liver the message to you, but I've | never had an opportunity. When I was leaving, she said if I didn't bring | you home with she’d turn me out | of the house. I'll have to tell her | I'll do it next trip.” | It he intended a question, Ann ;ignored it. They walked on. Lee | broke the silence. “I suppose I'd better not prolong ) 1 NEBRASKA AWAITS U.S. POWER FUNDS $14,000,000 Plan Would Serve Half of State’s lThey were crossing L street before | Rural Residents.
