Some sensational developments are la

no unusual incident. the prisoner submit
ting with the stolid Indifference charac-
teristic of the japanese. Boarding q
Northern Pacific train. the officers and
their charge arrived hero about noon. Dur
ing the day Chief Reed ''communed'' with
the prisoner through the medium Of an In.
terpreter. - Tanctid speaks English but
poorly. The chief succeeded in entangling
the Jap, eiiciting q number Of statements
Of more or less Importance relative to the
establishment Of the guilt or innocence Of
the accused. A . matter Of fact. the chief
was in possession OF information which
caused him to hasten his men to Orillia.
He learned that Tanctid had passed the
night OF May . In Seattle. and was fur
Their that the jap had visited TakatA's
room some hours prior to her murder.
Tho prisoner admitted being In town that
night, but with emphasis denies that he
visited the woman's apartment During
the interview he told the chief that he had
known her several years ago In vancou-
yer. and was friendly to the extent that
he borrowed money from her. q small por-
ton Of which remains unpaid. according
to the mans own admission. He appeared.
60 the interpreter says. to know what he
was arrested for. though neither the chief
nor the arresting officers informed him az
to the nature OF the charge.
In searching the prisoner the officers
found q cord about a. large around as q
lead pencil, and which he seemed to be
using to bind and hold up his undergar-
ments. 1t Is. the police say. such cord as
might have been used In strangling the
woman. though there are no stains or
marks visible. indicating that 1t had at
any time been put to such purpose.
Following up TAnctid's movements the
night OF the murder. the police ana that
he was boistero,inly--inde0d. n9htfAg drunk.
He had trouble with another JApAn4ee IA

Minneapolis Opinion On the Shtngle
Mems Association.

Minneapolis Opinion oA the Sht18le
Men's Association.
The Mississippi Valley Lumberman. pub
lished In Minneapolis has the following ed
itorial reference 10 the Washington Red
Cedar Single Manufacturers Association:
The red cedar single men have organ
ized before. but never have they come To-
gether under more favorable circumstances
and with better prospects for holding to-
gether. The West coast manufacturers OF
red cedar shingles have long recognized
that they were not getting all the business
Is worth out Of the manufacture ana SAFE
of their product. Lack OF organization ana
OF information In regard to the market has
been the cause OF heavy Losses that have
pot been necessary. and that would not
have occurred had the consumpttve demand
been better understood by the mill men.
This new organization is distinctively q
manufacturers association. As such It
aims TO regulate the manufacture OF shin
giles and establish uniform weights and
grades; The constitution provides that
central committee composed OF three MEM
bers from each county shall have the
power In ite discretion and after due In
vesfigaftor, to recommend that the shingle
the committee when II becomes evident
that the supply exceeds the demand.
One OF the most important clauses pro-
the power to hold meetings at such times
"
an they may deem proper; to appoint COM
mittees: 10 print and circulate documents
In the interest OF the association: to es-
tablish rules for grading and q system Of
uniform weights: to Issue from time to
time a minimum price below which all
members agree not to sell shingles to deal
ers or wholesalers. and to use such other
means AZ they may deem advisable to
maintain a uniform price for shingles.
II has often been pointed out by this
journal that the red cedar shingle business
has been good deal like business in the
wheat pit. In fact. the advantage as far an
business principles Is concerned has been
with the latter. for when dealer has con-
tracted 10 deliver wheat at a certain time
at certain price. he either delivers the
wheat, receives or takes the margin or
goes broke. In the Ghingle business. X the
market 10 higher at the time of delivery
than II was at the time the shingles were
sold. the seller has delivered the shingles
or Cancelled the ORDER. according - he
pleases. II the market trtct u lower ct

sale the retailer has usually demanded the
benefit Of the change II pfic4 ana IN beiles

ceptance at the original figure N@lthcf
the best retailers nor the best Wholesalers

party in the business world has not been
lowered thereby. II thu organisation OF
