A garbled report describes a location linked to No. 1813 and four houses near the Powhatan club. The text mentions a Leisuré figure and a confusing scene involving a “House of Mystery” with references to a break in or seizure.
Van Vechten, eager and watchful, waits as a mystery man rings a stair bell at 1315 while a clock in the club hall chimes noon. Tom Phinney, wary yet curious, follows the tense, ritual inspections across the street and notes the habit of elusive entry.
In a grill near Number 1313 Van Vechten and Tom Phinney monitor a possible secret gathering. A later arrival, a fashionable young woman, stirs new questions as they plan whether outsiders should intervene. The scene ends with a cliffhanger.
Short Texas notes report construction projects in McKinney Waco Yoakum Bonham and Meaumont plus public works in Mexia New Braunfels and Corpus Christi. Other items note a large beet near San Benito a $7500 Texas warship gift contract and a Louisiana capital relocation vote defeat. A Rio Grande Valley rail deal consolidates Brownsville interests.
