CHAPTER tl
The Sleeping House Mystery.
THE clearing of John'Storm was a
nfiir. ilais' wonder. In court Has-
sam Ali testified that Burns had been
?cekiiiR some facts regarding the past,
and that he, Hassain Ali, had suc
ceeded in aiding him to a certain
extent. But the name of Bicnreith
had never been mentioned during
those seances. He could not imagine
why Burns had committed the crime.
Thfire was no evidence to be found
that the two men had ever exchanged
a word. He was rather confounded
at the lurn of events. The broken
phrase, "But author " was as
much a mystery to him as to the
court. It was inexplicable. Hassani
Ali received a good deal of con
temptuous grilling from the District
Attorney, but the witness answered
every question calmly and in detail,
.Ic admitted that he was a disciple
"of the Hindu cult; admitted that he
had the gift of second sight at times.
There were many who could testify
to this. Hasfsam Ali finally left the
witness chair with honors in his
-'favor.
"A subsequent mve'stiKaHo'Tr"by"tlie
police revealed nothing to his dis
credit so far-a's the law was concerned.
1 His past, from the circus days to the
present day, was an open book. In
deed, Hassam Ali was himself the in
stigator of this research. He wanted
It definitely understood that while his
cult was not looked upon favorably
by the police, he was not the object
of any Justifiable suspicion. His grave
air, his unfailing patience under the
, gibes of the interrogator, his frank
fnesst all won him at least the respect
fcl his detractors.
f me man Jiiirns was uuncu ni 111c
t expense ot mc city, aim wuat was
Lkuowh as the Bienreith case went into
I.the public archives as one more uu-
'solvable mystery.
It was remarked, however, among
- his associates that John Storm lost a
, detl of his impetuosity and that in
'his subsequent cases he was no longer
brilliant and erratic, but calm and
Mfady, always extremely well fortified
with Ills facts.
New Vork city has without doubt
the moat conglomerate population of
h any city in the world. The only alien
race which does not find habitat in
'New York Is the Aztec, and that is
erely because the Aztec is extinct.
Tpid each race has quietly formed a
ei.of Its own within the greater

Gfcetto, Chinatown, and heaven knows

even the pc-lice rtever heflr about es
, cpt by purt .accident. Who can
? lay he knows the heart of Chinatown
2, unles"s he actively belong to it?
On a certain night, two weeks after
the Bienreith case, recorded1 in the
I rurecedwg chapter, Zijdora heard the
cjaek chime ;the hour'Ofv. bhe went
upstairs to her room "a.d threw up
the shade foV a final glance at the
heavensand paused in amazement.
Coming toward the house was the
strangest procession she had ever
seen. Turbans, flowing robes and
white pantalettes, here in this worka-,
day city of New York! She rubbed
her eyes as if striving to awake. She
looked again. They were trooping
sitentlv un the stens. She next hoard
y Ui thunder of the knock.tr, which, no
lHly used in thue days of electric
buttons. She then became alive to
t thai, fact tlut this was reality. She
reached the head of the stairs Jim
as her uncle's Hindu servant Aie4
opened the door tie bowed deeply
JMMt ceremoniously He was dresUl
i ., , food deal like hh strange mi i tors.
Sudora came dovn the stairs uudc-
' tided M to whether she vas frlght-

"Oh, you wish to see tuy uncle?"
said Zudora, greatly relieved.
"And thou irt his daughter?"
"Ills niece. I will call hinr."
She left the haltway and sought the
mystic room, where she found Has
sam Alr crouched over his globe. H6
looked up impatiently.
"Well?"
"Some Hindus to see jou, uncle."
"Hindus, at this time of night? Why
didn't you send Ahmed to me? It
lowers you in hi opinion to take upon
yourself to do his Work. Hindus;
what can they want, I wonder?"
"I'm sure I don't know, nor care,"
a bit angry at being rebuffed by her
uncle. , ,
When Hassain AH stood before his
guests there was some time wasted in
genuflections.
"You arc Hassam Ali, the nun who
sees?"
"I am." '
"Your servant here recommended
you to us. Sahib, we arc in the midst
of a, strange mystery. In our abode
the god of sleep comes suddenly and
unawares. Our own god seems to
have forgotten us. This dread thing
comes almost instantly, nnd we are
taken in sleep no matter what pose
we are in. That we are here tonight
and not under the evil god's influence
is due to the fact that we waited out
side the octagonal room."
"The octagonal room," repeated
Hassam Ali thoughtfully.
"You are known to us as a great
yogi, a seer into the future. Will you
aid us to find out what causei tills
dreaded sleep? Our religious cere
monies are being interfered with."
All this Was in an English that was
only fairly understandable. Here and
there Hassam Ali's man interpolated
the right word.
"You will, accompany us, Huzoor?"
Hassam Ali smiled and nodded.
Here was an advch.tUrc that rather
appealed to him. More than that, it
would banish from his Wind, at least
temporarily, certain psychological
agencies which were making their
power felt more and more strongly
as the days went by.
I must go, too, uncle," said Zudora.
"Hurry, then. I should like to see
these people before they come out of
their trance."

Ltebler Featule Films Company Is pre
paring to sena to tnis city, ror exhibi

duction or "The Christian," made under
tho direction of the author, Hall Calne,
nt the actual scenes described In the
novel. It Is expected that this produc
tion will be Installed here during the
holiday season.
Thn production was shown last spring
in the Manhattan Opera House, New
York, but has never been presented hero,
principally becauso the rental of the Alms
was thought to be too high. The Chest
nut Street Opera House management,
encouraged by the success of the motion
picture policy at thnt theatre, did not
hesitate to make arrangements for dis
play of the picture there.

FILM SMUaOUNO.
Collectors of customs have been warned
against allowing free entry to moving pic
ture dim copied abroad fromorlglnal nega
tives made In this country following an
linfeB titration conducted here and abroad
by special agents of the Treasury Depart
ment. The Investigation has disclosed
that large quantities of these films have
been entered duty free as American goody
returned, Moving picture films are taxed
under the present tariff law one cent per
linear foot, and as the goods have been
coming Into this country In vast quanti
ties the Government's loss In revenue
Is betleved to have reached a large sum.
None of those, however, concerned In the
inquiry was willing to give an estimate.
From statements made by leading film
manufacturers of the United States to tha
Treasury agents It was learned that In
most cases ho posltlvo prints are shipped
abroad, the negatives only being shipped
and the positives made In Hurope. In
cases where positive prints are shipped
to Europe they are leased or xold with
the understanding that Jhe Hints nre not
tq be resold ob reshlpped fo the United

SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY.
Tlie most Interesting part of the re
port is the summary of the testimony at
public hearings These have been held
In Washington, New Vork. Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago, Lend City, S. D.; Pet
erson, N, J.; Butte, Mont.; Seattle. Port-
lana, ure.; snn Francisco and Los An

at the hearings, the commission llnds Bub.
stantlal agreement by all witnesses ns to
some Of thb causes of Industrial unrest.
"These causes," the report says, "gen
erally agreed upon nre found to be as
follows 1
"Largely n, wolld-vWdc movement aris
ing from a laudable dcslic for better liv
ing conditions. 'Advanced bv renrcsentn.
tlVos of labor, Socialists and employers,
nnd generally indorsed.
"A protest ngnlnat low wages, long
hours and Improper working conditions in
many Industries. Advnnccd by practically
all labor representatives ftnd assented to
by many employers.
"A deslie on the part or the woikera for
a volco In the determination of conditions
under which they labor, nnd n revolt
against arbitrary treatment of individual
workers nnd a suppression of organiza
tion This was almost uniformly ap
proved by labor witnesses. '
"Unemployment and tho Insecurity of
employment. Generally advnpced by wit
nesses from every standpoint.
"Unjust distribution of the products or
Industry. Advanced by-most labor rep
resentatives and agreed to by most em
ployers "Misunderstanding ind piejudlcf. Agreed
to liy employer!) rtnd employes.
"Agitation and agitators. Generally ad
vanced by employers, but defended by
muur rcpreseuiauvei ana others as a
necessary means of education.
"The rnpld rise In prices as compared
with wages.
"The rapidly growing feeling thnt re
dress for injuries and oppression cannot
be secured through existing Institutions.
"Ih addition," anya the report, "It has
been stated by many witnesses that tho
tremendous Immigration of the last quar
ter century, while not Itself a direct cadso
of unrest, hns served to accentuate the
conditions arising from other causes, by
creating an overeupply of labor unfa
miliar with American customs, language
and conditions."
CAUSES OF UNREST.
Causes of unrest advanced by employ
ers, at the hearings nre stated as follows:
Normal and healthy desire for better
living conditions.
Misunderstanding and prejudice. Laok
of conception that Interests of both labor
and capital are Identical.
Agitation by politicians and Irresponsi
ble agitators.
Unemployment.
Unreasonable demands arising from
strength of organization.
Labor leaders who stir up trouble to
keep themselves In office and to graft on
employers.
Inefficiency of workers, resulting In
ever-Increasing cost tff living.
napioiy increasing complexity of In
dustry. Sudden transition of a large number of
foreigners from repression to freedom,
which makes them an eisy prey to labor
agitators. ,
Universal craze to get rich quick.
Docay of old Ideas of honesty and thrift.
Misinformation In newspapers. ,
Too much organization for combative
purposes Instead of for co-operation.
Violence in labor troubles.
Sympathetic strikes and Jurisdictional
dispute's,
Boycotting and picketing;
Meddlesome and burdensome legislation.
The closed shop, which makes for labor
monopoly. Financial Irresponsibility of
labor unions.
"Practically every witness." says the
report, "has expressed the attongest dls,
approval of any form ot compulsory ar
bitration. Arbitration was suggested only
as a last resort and then to be purely
voluntary
"There was practically unanimous
agreement among the witnesses that the
formation ot a Federal Commission of
Mediation and Conciliation, composed of
representative employers and employes,
wnuld be a desirable step toward tne es
tablishment of Industrial peace and the
protection ot the nation from the dam
age resulting from protracted strikes and
lockouts, with whieh the Individual States
seem Incapable ot dealing.
"It was Impressed upon the commis
sion, however, that the very gteatest
consideration and oare should b" given
to tho organization of suh"a commis
sion and that, before ail, MM method of
selecting Us mewbara should be suoh as
to secure the representation of the in
terests involved 'and the exclusion of
polities"
Tha preliminary report was aubmJUed
