UNKNOWN MAN IS FOUND
DEAD IN LODGING-HOUSE
Apparently Passes Away without a
Struggle, Leaving No Clew
to Identity:


A man about so years of age was
found dead in room in the lodging
house at AT Bush street. yesterday
afternoon. He called at the lodging
house Oh Saturday afternoon shortly
after o'clock and. engaged the room
He paid 25 cents for. the room and
the coin was all in nickels. Nothing
was seen of him after that. When one
of the bedmakers entered the room. by
side door yesterday afternoon he
discovered the dead. body: in bed.
There was nothing .to show that any
struggle had preceded death, which is
supposed TO have been from natural
causes.
The man was about six feet tall,
had blue eyes, dark brown hair tinged
with gray and wore blue sack suit.
new. gray underwear and a new pair
OF shoes. In: the vest pocket was "a
card, &C. @. Pierce, Bergman sta
ton, North Berkeley"
Pierce is the name of a cigar dealer

whether he ever knew the dead man
and will make no effort to identify
him.

Engineers Seasick.

AS the new launch Mollie owned by Cap
tain William Brandt. was taking her trial run
yesterday. on the bay. the circulating pump
broke down. The vessel was west OF Alcatraz
and near the island when she thus became dis
abled. She fell off in the trough OF the waves
and began 70 drift toward the beach. The two
maemnsts who were running the engines be-
CAME Violently seasck and lay helpless on the
bottom of the boat The damage could have
been repaired in few minutes. but they were
unable TO lift wrench, and the captain was
no engineer
But he could do the next thing-signal for
help in true castaway-sailor style This he
did With his boatlag a fishing pole with
the union down, he waved it vigorously for as
sistance. One of Crowley's launches sighted
the signal of distress and gave the disabled
boat tow just as she was going ashore

AN OLD MAIDS, BUREAU.

A bin presented to the Legislature
Yesterday ,.by request" provides for
director OF marriage reform instruc-
ton" to be appointed by the governor
upon the Recommendation OF the state
board of health to conduct course OF
instruction in the mysteries of the
marriage state. This bureau is to
have It's branch offices in the office OF
every reputable medical practitioner"
in the state. The doctors are to be-
come matrimonial Undergraduates. All
candidates for welded blessedness ire
obliged by the provisions of the law to
pass an examination before the phys-
and sent out by the matrimoniaA cor
respondence school at Des Moines. II
they pass the doctor certifies them 20
the county clerk and the clerk certifies
them to the parsonage or the justice
shop where the two souls stepped IN
love and the science of matrimony are
legally licensed and certiflcated to
think their single thought and two
hearts properly trained are permitted
to throb in unison beneath the shadow
Of the divorce court.
Just what points the examination
questions will cover is still a matter of
conjecture. Staying out nights and
building fires lin the morning can
scarcely with propriety be eliminated
from the curriculum. Who shall sleep
on the front side and second the baby
In Its collie contests. the question of
wtlo shall slave in ttire hard coat of
nights, the church going problem of
Sundays. the mother law debate
and the higher criticism of the cuisine
all belong in the examination papers
upon which the Iowa census for 1910
seems fated to depend.
The bill should be amended to make
the director of matrimony elective by
the old maids who usually furnish Sci
crosses and whose knowledge of mat
tiers matrimonial includes everything
except the deNterity necessary TO rope
and tie down husbands for themselves.
An old maid or cranky bachelor of ma
ture years should have charge of the
bureau. None else would assume its
onerous and thankless responsibilities
Humanity has never been able to
control natural selection since Eve
made goo-goo eyes at Adam and at
the same time with true femininity
tipped a sly wink in the direction OF
the devil. II never WILL All the doc

lple. Marriage shorld be made easy

A SPLENDID TRADE IN DANGER.

Considered din connection with the
warning given the Boston chamber of
commerce by Hon. John Charlton, of
Ontario. when he warned that body
that Carada Gles arrived 'aIt the part :
ing OF the ways" and is ready to de-
eide wlps,tller trer relations with the
United States shaft be commercially
friendly or arltagonistic. figures pre-
st1rted by THE chamber OF commerce
arld labor tell their own story. 1,he
report shows THAT anto.lg the most
strongly marked instances of growth
in our commerce. and especially in
the exports, is that of Canada. In
1898 the total exports TO the Domiuion
af Canada amounted to S51,121,11S; in
1898. at the middle of the period, they
were s9O,3Ss,065; in 1903 'tlrsy were
s131, 452.562. This makes the percent
age of irAnaase since 1893 in our ex-
postts ITO Canada 131 per csTt In dm-
ports from Canada the growth was
from s34.49e.332 in 1893 to s53,291,S60
In 1908. an increase of 81 per cent
Tflns trade balarce is in danger. Mr..
Charlton declares the critical hour lis
at hand when C.Irnada must have
closer commercial relations with this
country or put up a tariff wall
agatsri,t the United States and become
a componerrt part OF great imperial
trade federation" In plain words.
Canada is tired of buying largely of a
ration which refuses her trade con-
cessiorn and is ready to enter a Brit
ish trade federation to THE mutual adj
vantage of herself and Great Britain
and Tire corresponding detrimerli; of
American trade. L. is the Logical out
Genre of policy which hopes to sell
everywhere and buy nothing abroad.
The Can;pdian trade. with dts vast IN
crease during the past year, is worth
protesting and cuitivaSing.
The report referred to shows 4

countries TRAN Canada. In n wcri, il.

that country and become compo-
nent part of q great imperial trade
federation Which appears TO be ex-
pert testimony.
Sioux City is on the verge of a pro-
trncted labor war; the master plumb
ers and building contractors having
decided TO force the "open shop" basis
after March /. This action is Indirect
ly the result of the course of the
building trades unions which last
March advanced the wage scale 90
per cent or more. Building of total
value of s2.o0o.00o had been planned
for 1903. and nearly all was aban-
doned because of the demands OF the
unions.
The Nevada Representative, which
is proficient and prolific in political
mathematics. has the situation in the

outlying counties his return to con-
gress is practically assured. III the
event that Prouty is successful in the

are strongly in favor of the judge. The
prediction is reliable ana appears en-
inently fair to both candidates.

LET COUNTIES KEEP THE MONEY.

The appearance of "a bill in the legis-
lature revive discussion of the plan
TO deposit state funds in banks that
will pay interest on the deposits A
few years ago when Iowa had no sur
plus of any great magnitude this prob
lem did not create much disturbance.
Des Moines banks received the funds
and in return they acted as sureties On
ample recompense for all the benefits
they received. Now that the states
balance frequently approaches the
two million mark, conditions are
changed. The state should receive
interest for it's money. The state of
Minnesota receives 9 per cent which
is considerable income on the large
balances it handles
There are objections tho. For in
stance. IL all banks are going to bid
for state deposits the Des Moines
banks are not going. TO put up the
treasurers bond. To insure this official
for 100000 In bonding company
would cost about $4,000 annually. The
amount is too large to expect man to
secure personal volunteer bonds and,
on $500 salary he could not buy II
himself. The state would have to pay
for 1t. Then If state funds We're scat
che {,, ,,,tc 1,a, ,l.S
would require extra help in the treas
urer's office to look up the standing
of many banks and take care of the
sending and calling of deposits as
state money was needed.
Treasurer Giibertson was recently
discussing a plan with an Iowa friend
which might be elaborated into q
working system. The state statutes
now provide that county boards OF SUI
pervisors may deposit county funds on
interest II they so desire. 1t was sug-
gested that the Law, be changed to AL
low the state to leave the funds 1t does
not need in the hands OF the counties
where the taxes are raised and charge
the counties a fixed rate of interest. II
. per cent was the rate the several
counties could undoubtedly obtain 3
per cent, as that has been the prevail
ing bank rate for time deposits. and
liz the supervisors Were thrifty they
could loan on farm mortgages at 6
per cent. So far as the state is con-
cerned the counties would be good for
the funds left in their hands. The
counties themselves would have to as
sumo the risks for deposits but If there
was fair margin of profit to thers
they would undoubtedly take the risk
and keep the states money in the To-
calities from which i. was raised.
