SECRETIVE ON ILLNESS "Elevator Reported Installed On Mayflower for Presi- dent’s Vacation BY JAMES HENLE _ WASHINGTON, July 28.—-Never Were the plans and movements of _ an Oriental eovent shrouded in great fF mystery than those of President Willson at this time. Which is just another way of say- that Woodrow Wilson, American is extremely touchy about And, unlike other Amer. Gitizens, Woodrow Wilson is mt and has the authority to his movements and his plans QB secret as he wishes.

Shé could hardly you what he said is about the way the House regards questions ‘President's health. It sus- the motive. Perhaps it has te do so, particularly since eation of Senator Moses’ with its repetition of back re . On the other hand, it nly fair to say that persons close j } president have failed to ap- the sincere and sympathetic that the people of this coun- i of party, feel in the of the president. rm for instance, the matter of away perhaps for two or three days|(iraham, Private William B dent's vacation. It has been said, and apparently truthfully, that the Mayflower, the president's lyacht, has been renovated for “his }use and an elevator installed in it, and that any time he spends away from Washington this summer will be aboard her. If the president were not so ex tremely sensitive there would be no reason to make any secret of this. If a man cannot mount stairs with out an effort, it is no disgrace for him to use an elevator. Rut officials both of the White) House and the navy department, | which has jurisdiction over the yacht, assure you that they know nothing at all about the matter, A number of reasons were ad. vanced for Wilson's decision not to gO to Woods Hole, Mays, But that does not explain why he has not | gone to the dozen,or more available resorts. BETTER FOR HIM TO STAY IN OWN HOME The only explanation is that | president is not yet a well man, and! that In the present state of his health it is better for him to stay in his own home, the White House. If extremely torrid days come, the | president will probably escape them aboard the Mayflower, remaining at a time. NO. ‘ é O Mrs. H. O.

Light us.” | “Allee velly ploper," crooned Sin Sin Wa. + He took up the jons tenderly and] bore it across the room. Opening a/ little cupboard set low down near the} | floor he discovered a lighted lantern. | | This he took out and set upon the! |dirty table. Then he placed the image on a shelf in the cupboard) |and turned amilingly to his vistors. “I want to see your wife,” Kerry | said to Sin Sin Wa. “Fetch Mer.” Sin Sin Wa turned his hands palms upward. “Me no hab gotchee wifes,” he | murmured, | Kerry took one pace forward. “Fetch her.” he said; “or—" He drew a pair of handcuffs from the| | pocket of his ollskin “Velly bad tulk.” murmured Sin Sin Wa. “Catchee tlouble for wifes | ne got Kerry bit savagely at his chewing gum, glancing aside at Bryce. “Did you ever see his wife?™ he snapped. | “No, air. j one.” “No hab gotchee," murmured Sin Sin Wa. “She velly bad woman.” Kerry stared at him with an ex- pression in which antmal ferocity and helplessness were oddly biended. Then: aryee,” he said, “stay here, to search the house.” Very good, str.” Kerry turned again to the China- | man | “Is there anyone upstairs?” he de- | manded. “Nobody hab. Sin Sin Wa alla samee lonesome. Catchee shinum him joss.” | Kerry dropped the handcuffs back | into the pocket of his ollskin and took out an electric torch. With [never another glance at Sin Sin Wa [he went out into the passage and | began to mount the stairs, presently finding himself in a room filled with all sorts of unsavory rubbish and containing a large cupboard. He uttered an exclamation of triumph Crossing the littered floor he threw open the cupboard door, Before him hung a row of ragged clothes. Di recting the ray of the torch upon| the unsavory collection, he snatched coats and hats from the hooks upon which they depended and hurled them impatiently on the floor. When the cupboard was empty he stepped into it and began to bang upon the back. , “If ever I sounded a brick wall,” he muttered, “I'm doing it now.” Tap where he would, there was} nothing in the resulting sound to/ suggest that that part of the wall behind the cupboard was less solid than any other part. Kerry descended the stairs. Snap- ping off the light of his torch, he stood, feet wide apart, staring at Sin Sin Wa.

Kerry crossed the bridge over Limehouse Canal he could vaguely discern the} dirty water below, Turning to the right, Kerry walked | on for some distance. He had made a careful study of the geography of the neighborhood, and altho the fog was still dense he found his way without much difficulty to the street for which he was bound. Some 15 paces along the narrow thoroughfare he came upon someone standing by a closed door set in a high brick wall, Kerry took out his torch and shone a white ring upon the smiling coun- tenance of Detective Sergeant Coombes. “If that «mile gets any worse,” he! | said irritably, “they'll have to move SECOND AVENUE AND UNIVERSITY STREET Decisive Suit Reductions —The remainder of this season’s stock repriced for final disposal.
