UNKNOWN DEAD MAN.
Chicago Police Have Mystery on
Hand.

CHICAGO, May 7.-What will prob
ably prove to be sensational murder
was committed in the vicinity of the St.
Paul railroad yards at an early hour this
morning. The body of the victim, hand
some, we'll dressed man of thirty, was
found in ali empty box car at o'clock
in the morning and when discovered
was still warm. The skull was crushed
as if by blows from hammer. Moth
ing of value was found on
the body except a handsome tiger
eye ring. There were no
papers and up to late hour tonight the
remains had not been identified. 1t is
the theory of the police that the man
was murdered for the purpose of rob-
berry, or from some other motive, and
the remains carried to the railroad
yards shortly before the discovery was
made.

"The Daniche ifs" at Cordray's.

were twice called before the curtain. "The

aimed at by the author and he follows his plan

The salon Of the Countess Danicheff and the

magnificent specimens of scenic art and evoked
marked applause. The scenic artist, Mr. Nc
Fariand, and the stage machinist, Mr.. Kloos, are
to be congratulated on the result of their COM
bined efforts. For a play so heavy as "The

BURBANK's FAIRY TALE.
His Father Was Not Refused Credit FOR
a Sack Of Flour by John e. West.

His Father Was Not Refused Credit for
Sack Of Flour by John G. West.
A few weeks ago the Observation-Disclosures
published an article from Tacoma correspond
ent narrating the fact that George A. Burbank,
Of that city, had fallen heir to great wealth
through the death of his grandfather In Pitts.
field, Mass, stating that that gentleman had
left an estate amounting TO millions. Inc
article attracted attention in Pittsfeld and
newspaper of that city made a few sarcastic
comments on the gross exaggerations in the
story as published. The story OF the rise OF
Abraham Burbank from poverty to wealth was
quite romantic, and among other things IL
stated that at one time Burbank was refused
credit for sack OF four by wealthy citizen OF
Pittsfield named John C. West, whereupou Bur
bank made u vow that he would accumulate
dollars to Vests cents and be able to heap Goals
OF fire on the head OF that man. According to
the story the remainder OF Burbank's life was
devoted to accomplishing this VOW, and that
after succeeding he passed away. The story
was republished in a number of papers, and
among Others the ST. Paul Pioneer Press. where
1t attracted the eve OF O son OF Mr.. West living
in DEVILS Lake, Mimi, who sends the following
letter:
The story recently published in your paper
concerning Abraham Burbank and John c.
West, and which YOU have set afioat in Eastern
papers, Is untrue Before Burbank's death he
finished the material for his biography. 1t con-
talns no allusiOn to your wild fable. except
that Elijah Peck once refused to trust him for a
half cord of wood. This incident occurred
several years before John c. West embarked i'll
business.
The remarkable fruitfulness OF your wonder
tul region Is well known, and possibly we
should not be surprised or annoyed at this rank
production, which your gentle Pacific zephyrs
have famed from the barren and untruth1ul
brain OF George A. Burbank.

How the Patagonians Are Taught t.
Raise Sheep.

Capt. Kendall, of the ship Annie II. Smith, is
very agreeable conyersationalst and has the
name OF being great story teller when in the
humor for that style of conversation. He has
been at sea long time, visited nearly every
quarter of the globe and is familiar with the
habits and customs of all divisions Of the
human race. Mrs. Kendall has also been
at sea with her husband great deal,
and is with him on this voyage. Speaking
o. the means employed by civilized countries in
enlightening and converting barbaric and semi
barbaric people in the southern countries of the
globe, asst evening, Capt. Kendall said:
"There is but little use in teaching morals and
eudeavoring to enlighten the mind by religion
Or anything else until you have first taught
these people to adopt modern methods of labor
and commerce. To illustrate: The Patagonans
were very savage people only fey years
ago-they were caunibais. Missionaries were
sent among them to enlighten them, but
it did not have near the effect that
teaching them the simple art OF sheep raising
has had. A few Of them were taken to the
Falkland islands, where they were taught how
to raise sheep. They were put to work at it, and
after they became Interested in ii, they were
sent back and others taken. over This has been
kept up and now it is having wonderful effect.

has opened up big sheep rsnch the best

RAISING PRICES OF COAL.
Mine Owners Testify Why 1t Is Done in
the Eeadinc Inyestication.

New YORK, Nov. 2S-The subcommittee OF
The interstate commerce committee this morning
resumed the investigation OF the Reading coal
combine. President Oliphant, OF the Delaware
ard Hudson Canal Com pany, took the stand and
told OF the amounts of coal mined by his COM
pany and the sections of country III which IL
was sold. He declared, however. that the COM
pany was not connected in any way with the
combine, and wss rather opposed TO it. He.
however, declined to submit statement OF the
ccmpany's prices, month by month, during
1se,. : d. Mackey, n retail coal dealer, testified
that the Pennsylvania Company charged re-
talcrs CD cents 20 81 per ton more this year than
for coal laat year. He promised to submit a
comparative statement; OF prices tais year and
last. He said retailers were not making Us much
money as in 1921.
Secretary street denied that there was any
formal agreement entered into at the Underwater
meetings. +. was a natural outcome OF crcum-
stances that the output during the winter
months was less than during summer. This
was due to the weather and other causes. The
advance In prices was occasiGaed by a near ap-
preach OF the demand to the output. Street de-
MED that the near approach of the demand to
the output was occasioned by the restriction
put on the output. adding that his company's
output this year was $4,000 tons over that OF
last year. He admitted that producers OF an
thracite coal sold their products a. a uniform
price for the same quality OF coal. Il was also
true, he said, that the prices were fixed by the
executive officers of the various companies
upon reports OF their respective representatives,
at the Iidewater and Western meetings. II was
further true that at these meetings IL was gener
ally agreed upon rs to what the output and
prices should be for a given number of months.
A number of other witnesses were examined
but nothing radically differing from the pro-
vious testimony elected. The committee ad-
journed to meet in Phiadelp hia tomorrow.

theater is strongly brought to public attention
by the announcement that the auction sale of
seats will take place today. The completion OF
the house by next Monday is assured. If the
opening were to take place two days earlier
everything could be made ready, but as it is
there will be ample time to have every finishing
touch put on the house before the doors are
opened, and those who attend the opening
will see the theater in all its completed beauty;
The sale OF seats by auction will commence at
10 O'CLOCK this morning at the old opera house,
corner Of Fourth and Jefferson streets The
sale will be confined all day and evening,

event. The regular sale OF seats will take place
at Hansen's jewelry store on and after Wednes-
day. DuH's Opera Company, which furnishes
the opening attraction, is one OF the stronges:
attractions now on the road, and the engagement
will doubtless be an artistic success.
