no opportunity to get out for lunch.
He said, "I want you to remain in
the house, if the old man needs any
help call me. I'm sroini; to take a
turn almut the grounds.”
Outside, he walked down toward
the Street and then turned to survey
his surroundings. Hailey s “bunga
low was a two-story structure of
Spanish architecture, after the mod
ern version. it poised on a small
knoll several hundred teet hack from
the street, partly hidden from the
> ves of curious passersby in a clump
<>f giant palm and eucalyptus tirees.
The lawn was neatly trimmed. To
the right, or east, was a mtmuture
flower garden. The plantar *ere
mostly rosea and oleanders. Opening
onto this was the one large wlndow
<>f Hailey's den. On the other aide
of the house the lawn sloped steeply
to a high stone feiieo which separated
'his place and that adjoining.
Kane turned and saw th*t he could
look down Into Hollywood and its
busy thoroughfares, and far beyotid

The vista was inspiring.

two shallow tioles about an inch in

He turned to retracie the* trail. He
found thr* footprints fled in both di

Characteristically, he snapped his
Ungers and abruptly turned away.
Swiftly, he made his way to the rear
of the house, where he found a
duniply little garage. The doors we;a
standing open Inside was Hailey'*
costly automobile.
He went iuside. Quickly, his eyes
roved about the place and Anally
rested on. whal he sought- a abort
ladder that l*y on Its side to one
side of the motor car. Satisfied, he
wandered moodily toward the house,
steeped in-thought. " *
Os two things he was certain: the
murder, of Ric hard Bailey had been
carefully planned, the murderer was
a cold-blooded person who had no in
hibitions agaJnst taking a human life.
Now he was sure that the prowler
Chivington had heard, and
whom he had frightened away, had
returned to the scene of the crime to
replace the ladder in the garage l*e
fore it was discovered, in a vain
hope, he* theorized, that the murder
would appear to be an inside job.
But he wanted to make sure of hi*
ground before he proceeded. He re
turned to the garden. An exultant
cry escaped hts lips. The footprints
he had overlooked at first were there,
leading to and from the garage, two
sets toward the garage and on# from
the garage to the window-. Farther
away from the house he found track*
leading from the gaiuge u> the front
at the fcowe, and toward flic street.
Satisfied with what h*r had found
he returned to the house. To O Hr<ra
he said. “I’m going to stu\ Me re to
night. You won't need to stay or
have any relief report.”
That pleased the detective He did
not relish this assignment, that was
plain, no more than did Sergeant
James. “What time can 1 break
away?'' he asked
Kane had spent more time in hi*
investigation than he thought, ft
was getting late. The sun was sink
ing toward the hlue rim of the Santa
Monica mountains. Purple shadow*
were creeping over the hills.
•'I want to run down to the hotel
Cor some things,” he said. “When I
get back you can go.”
O'Hara suggested that he would
call a cab.
"No. I think I need a little exercise.
I'll walk as far as the boulevard and
hail one there.”
“O. K„ chief”
Kane set out, walkingly briskly.
He was impelled by elation over the
progress of his hunt. He felt that
he was verging on success; he hoped
that within another twenty-four
hours he could turn over to i'hief Lee
the slayer of Richard Bailey and the
assailant of Nanette Leltoi. For he
was convinced that they were one
and the same.
At the foot of the hill he started
to cross the street. Above him he
heard the roar of an automobile. He
hesitated and looked back ami de
cided ihal he had time to get across.
He .Nb:p;*ed off the walk and, walk
ing fast, started for the opposite side.
The motor car raced toward him.
The machine swerved; he was direct
ly in its path. A woman's scream

(TO BH CON TIN V
vision wits not recommended to the
Constitutional Commission by the
committee from the North Carolina
Education Association. For this pro
vision would abolish the office of
county superintendent and set up in
stead district superintendents who
would have general supervision over
the schools in severai counties. This
plan was proposed and considered in
the 1931 General Assembly as a gen
eral economy measure, but bitter ly op
posed by the school forces. It is con
ceded that the inclusion of this pro
vision in the new constitution will
be vigorously opposed by all the coun
ty superinttends and school politi
cians.
The school people are heartily in
favor of the provision which gives to
the new board of education the power
to regulate the grade, salaries and
qualifications of teachers. In fact, this
is one of the major proposals for
which the State Education Associa
tion has been fighting, in order to
get the matter of salary regulation
and certification out of the hands of
the General Assembly. One of the
things that has wrankled the teach
ers and school heads more than any
thing else In recent years was the
iact°that the 1931 General Assembly
reduced the salary schedule of the
teachers 10 per cent. They admit thqy
fear the 1933 General Assembly wjll
reduce the salaries still more fo* ~ie
next two y«ara. atei eon
But in this new constitutional pro
vision they see the hope to get school
salaries back up to their former level
and even higher. For with- a> Board
of Education of-seven members "ap
pointed by the governor, with the ap
proval of the senate.-as-is provided
in the new constitution, they see a
chance to secure the appointment of
school people or persona friendly to
,Uie • schools, wrho_‘ J n ,\f Ujtn . woyy .^ e
ifhutjh
iTKi of school «elar»eft back tip to
their former levels than would mem
bers of successive general assemblis.
In other words, they believe they
would stand a much better chance to
bring pressure to bear upon a board
of seven members than upon 170
members of any session of the Gen
eral Assembly. This would be even
more likely, they maintain, if a major
portion of the new board of education
should be composed of school men or
educators, as they hope would be the
case. The section which the school
people wanted included in the new
constitution provided that a major
ity of the members of the new board
should be educators, while still an
other proposal was made that the
members of the of education
should be the deans of the leading
schools of education in the State.
The provision that gives to this
board, instead of to the board of
equalization, the power to apportion
and equalize the public school funds
over the State. is almost equally
pleasing to the school people as the
control given it over salaries. Kor
the adoption of this section in the new
constitution would effectually prohibit
'.he general assembly from tampering
either with school salaries or with
the distribution of state school funds.
The only fly in the ointment, from
the standpoint of the school people. Is
the provision at the end of Section
4 which says;
"All the powers enumerated in this
section shall be exercised in confor
mity with this Constitution and sub
ject to such laws as may be enacted
from time to time by the general as
sembly."
The section recommended by the
North Carolina Education Associa
tion would have virtually prohibited
the general assembly from passing
any legislation relative to the control
and management of the schools, giv
ing the Board of Education almost
blanket authority along these lines.
Opinion here, however, is that the
General Assembly will vigorously op
pose giving to any board of educa
tion as much authority as wouJd be
delegated to it under this section in
the new Constitut.on. and especially
the blanket power to fix and regulate
salaries. For as this section now
stands, it is maintained in informed
circles here, the board of education
would determine salaries, make up
budgets and distribute the money,
while all the General Assembly would
have power to do woulcf be to ap
propriate the amount of money de
manded by the board of education.
It Is not thought the General Assem
bly will be willing to give up its pow-,
er to legislate with regard to the
management of the public schools.
Knowledge is not as important as
self-knowledge.

t By Commission
vMNot*. —This is the second of a
series of 12 articles enumerating j
the changes proposed In North
Carolina's basic law by the con
stitutional commission. This one
deals with alterations In article
II defining functions of the legis
lative department.)
Raleigh, Nov. 3H. (APi - North
Carolina's governor would be given
the power to veto if the constitutional
commission's suggestions for revision
of Article II of the State's basic law i
j is adopted.
The State, at present, is the only!
one of the 48 in the American Union ,
that denies the right to its chief exe
cutive.
The veto section In Article II of!
the proposed new Constitution,
ing with legislative power, would pro- :
vide for gubernatorial objection to he i
overridden by a two-thirds vote of j
both House and Senate. i
If the governor would not sign a
b.ll within two days after it had been
passed by the Assembly, it autdma
ticaUy would become law. However,
the governor would be privileged to,
veto a bill within ten days of ad--
journment. If he would not veto it j
within that period, it would become i
law. ' ’ |
The section of veto would not give :
the chief executive authority to as- \
sert this power -on any bill or re-!
solution which the General Assembly
says should be submitted to the peo- !
pie for adoption or rejection.
There are only 22 sections in -the
proposed new article on legislative j
authority, compared with 30 in the
present Constitution.
No alterations are proposed in the I
number of members of the General J
Assembly. In their distribution, nor!
with regard to reapportionment ac- j
cording to population after a deeen-!
nial census.
A change was proposed in the !
method of filling legislative vacancies !
The present Constitution says they
must be filled by the governor. Un
der the new article, county boards of
commissioners would replace them.
The tenure of office of members of 1
the Assembly wouid continue to re-1
main at two years.
No member would be permitted to j
be appointed to an office created by I
the legislature in which he was a
member.
The General Assembly would be j
given power to pass all laws for the!
organization and government of coun-;
ties, cities and towns, many of which
are now in the constitution.
