ANOTHER VICTIM
or DERBY
GANG
Hunters Stumble on Skeleton Of
Man With Skull Crushed by
Some Blunt instrument Near
Sixth Crossing.

Another victim of the Derby gang, who
operated there when the government had
many men employed in that vicinity in
building the irrigation canal, near the
western approach Of the bridge at Sixth
Crossing, hunters saw the shining skull
of man, with the bony skeleton of his
hand reaching out as ii for succor. An
attempt had been made to burn the body
of the victim, but it was not a success.
The skull had been crushed as IL it had
been hit by some blunt instrument.
The hunters were approaching the east
abutment of the Sixth Crossing bridge.
which is about twelve miles east of Reno.
when one of them was hogrified to see
a grinning skull and the bony hands of
man lying on side hill near the river
bank The hunters approached the stack
of bones and on examination saw that
the skeleton was laying in the charred
embers of a fire.
The body had apparently been laid face
downward on the fire, as the back was
uppermost and the hands we're stretched
over the head as if grasping for the bank
above in an effort to crawl away from
the blaze. The skull had become torn
from the neck and had fallen down into
the ribs. The back of the skull was
crushed ana few of the teeth mad been
knocked out Otherwise it was intact.
1t is a large skull and all the bones
show that the victim of the murder was
large man. probably a laborer. There
was not a shred of clothing left. as the
fire had consumed it ALL
From all indications the skeleton had
been lying on the river bank for several
months and what flesh that the fire had
not burned away had been consumed by
coyotes and other wild animals.
On looking into the skull Coroner Read
of Washoe county found a number OF
gold filled teeth. The dental work was
perfect and the Coroner says that the
work was very expensive. He also found
a lodge button bearing crown and the
letters G. d. & w. inscribed beneath 1t.
This button was so badly burned, how
ever, that the letters were hard to dis
tinguish.
While searching in the vicinity of the
spot, where the skeleton was found, Cor
oner Read found a brass instrument
known as the ''wireman's comealong'
This instrument is used in stretching
wire by linemen, when on the road. and
it Is thought that 1t might have belonged
to the dead man. 1t may assist in help

The remains of Sears, the man frozen
to death on the road between Jackson
Creek and Humboldt House on November
18th. were reduced to ashes in a crema-
tory in San Francisco. Frozen to death
in the first instance and then destroyed
by fire in the last simply shows to what
extremes a dead man sometimes goes.

were only 100000 yen more than the
exports. 1t Is altogether probable that
the imports for 1904. and thus far in 1905,
have been greatly in excess of the ex-
ports, on account of the war needs of
Japan and the withdrawal of many thou
sands of producers from the fields, fac
tories and other centers of industry.
1t Is always the object of every produc-
ing nation to acquire balance of trade
in it's favor, and there is, therefore, a
premium upon exports in many cases, po-
tentially If not actually. In the case or
Japan and France the balance is strongly
in favor of Japan. In 1908 Japan bought
goods worth 5.107,913 yen from France
and sold to that country goods worth 34,-
279116 yen, as against imports OF 4.I45,-
776 yen and exports of 27.2S3,45S yen In
1902. Thus it is to be seen that the export
trade to France has grown at more
rapid rate than the import trade. 1t Is
greatly in Japan's interest to foster the
export trade. She can hardly afford to
retaliate now, with a balance OF about
2O,0OO,OOO yen in her favor. which she
would stand to lose in a trade war with
France For 1t is fair expectation that
il Japan were to place an embargo on
French imports France would immedt-
ately retaliate upon Japanese goods.

America and Morocco.

The Star last week expressed the opinion
that the allusiOn 10 the Anglo-French
entente which Ambassador Mccormick
made in his speech pr 3senting his creden-
tails to President Loubet might be misun-

tkis appeared yesterday in the New York
Tribunes cable letter from Paris, from
which this paragraph is taken:
"Rober, S. Mccormick, the new American

The Fresh-Air Cause.
From the Baltimore American

There seems to be an increased zest with
the beginning of each recurring summer
season actuating the varied efforts for the
promotion of outdoor life. The fresh-ar
fund, gathered from many benevolent
sources, accompishes in the aggregate a
good that is beyond computation. If 1t hc-
complishes nothing more than to bring A
brief pleasant change of scene into lives
that greatly need some variation the effort
that is made would be amply justified. To
the children of the crowded districts shut
in by the narrow boundaries of streets and
alleys, a day on the water or in the woods
is one of joyous xpansion-mentally, NOR
ally and physically. And to overworked
mothers such day brings not simply rest,
but refreshment and restoration.
There is no tonic like happiness, and the
bracing effect of a happy day, away from
the routine cares. with wide vista of blue
sky above and of blue waters or green gra IS
below, is more potent by far than any mix
ture that comes from the apothecary. 1t is
not alone the clean air. though a whole day
of breathing unpolluted ozone is of tremep-
dous vitalizing value For the older people
the letup in the nervous strain, the sense of
freedom even for a little while brings recu-
perative aid to the vital energies and to the
younger ones gladness alone is lifegiving

Japanese-French Trade.

Notwithstanding the serious suggestion in
Tokyo of such an expedient, Japanese re-
pr.sals against France for an alleged breach
of neutrality in the matter of the Rojestyen-
sky feet not likely to take the form Of
a boycott of France in trade, for the simple
reason that a boycott is a game at which
two can play. and according to the latest
obtainable figures Japan has more to lose
than to gain In trade war with France

yen, the yen being (while Japan is on the
gold basts) almost an exact equivalent of

totaled 2S9,502.4 43 yen. Thus at latest ac-

Ohio,

The Ohio republicans will meet this month
and nominate a state ticket. They have
been hustlers from early days, and the
spirit is still upon them. Some of our
greatest battles have been fought there.
and some of our most successful leaders
have sprung from the buckeye bailiwick.
Tall timber Is indigenous. The soil makes
for height and breadth.
Although the campaign is local, there are
elements of national interest in 1t. Secre-
tary Taft and Senator Foraker both figure

and both wilt assist their party in this
years campaign Some wag put out a
story that Mr.. Foraker would not attend

been invited. The senator Is of opinion.
however, that he will be there-ta1ks very
much as If he will feel at home without an
invitation. And of course he will. No
ceremony attaches to the occasion for him.
1t is his fathers house, and he Is always
welcome.
Gov. Herrick Is to be renominated, and
more than one thing hangs on the result.
Should he fail of reelection, his party, out
side as well .as inside the state, would re-
ceive blow. The national democratic lead
ers would pluck up heart, and persuade
themselves that the tide was turning, while
a good man would be lost to the republicans
in their calculations for vice president. If
Gov Herrick gets a second term and ac-
quits himself well he VIII be On the
cards for second place In 1908 should the
eastern republicans unexpectedly come to
the front and capture the nomination for
first place He and his party therefore have
big stake In this years game, and Taft
and Foraker and Dick may all deem it ad-
visable to pull together for victory.
The democratic situation remains a trifie
chaotic. Mr.. McLean's admiration for Tom
Johnson has not materially increased since
November. while Mr.. Johnson's opinion OF
Mr.. Mclean may still be stated in the same
terms In which the Cleveland agitator has
several times clothed it. Those two men
practically compose the democratic party of
Ohio, and they are as near together as the
north and the south poles. If, therefore,
the republicans are defeated in Ohio in No
vember 1t will be through their own weak
nesses and divisions. Nothing like harmony
or strength appears in the ranks of the OBJ
position. nor Is possible under the present
regulations of human nature.

ton on the part OF NJ. Jusserand, the
French ambassador at Washington. who
has always shown a scholarly interest IN
the politics and In the literary and inter
lectuaL ideas of the English people. which
is particularly appropriate during the pres
ent development of a triple entente between
the United States. France and Great Brit
ain. Although the American ambassador
did not meet King Edward during his WISH
in Paris. your correspondent learns that
the king expressed satisfaction upon read
ing Ambassador McCormick's speech, and
remarked. That is move in the right d.
rection."

ton in the Morocco business? What are
our interests In that matter? Neither Great
Britain nor France conferred with us. nor
felt called upon to do so. about their plans

the subject except from newspaper report
and discussion. Whether there Is much or
little involved cannot seriously Of itself af-
feet us.
When the German emperor decided to
express himself as to Morocco and visit the
country he was polite enough to notify us.
But he did not seek to commit us In any
way to his plans, nor are we committed to
them. What he said about the open door
was agreeable to US, because In both Asa
and Africa we want fair chance at the
developing markets. The case Of Morocco
serves only as recognition of the open
door principle. We have little trade there.
and are not expecting much more; but
there. as at other points, we want free
hand.
We shall not become enmeshed In this
controversy on either side, or any side
Nor did Mr.. Mccormick have such an OBJ

Children of the Slums.
From the Cleveland Leader.

Their chances of existence are small in
the midst of the insanitary horrors of the
Sums; their chances of a happy healthy
childhood and a successful, honorable
future are almost nil. But they are COM
ing into the world by thousands; the peo-
pie who have the most excuse for race
suicide have ever the least inclination to-
ward 1t. In the slums the children swarm
they die like flies or live worse than beasts,
shut up in fostering hotbeds of misery dis
ease and crime. And Gods great, gener-
GUS acres, where they might thrive and
grow well and sweet and beautiful and

gained them by fraud. To bring them to-
gether-these landless children and these
