ers. The broken down plants alone
give support to that theory.
Officers Are Puzzled
A puzzling feature of the discovery
of the body was one which serves to
partially destroy the murder theory is,
why should murderers not leave the
body in the high patch of weeds a few
yards from the fence enclosing the
ranch? On the other hand were the
assasslns aware of the fact that these
weeds were about to be cut down soon
and that the potato patch would not
again be touched for several months,
and for that reason drag the body 80
far believing that by the time 1t was
discovered Identification would be an
impossibility?
Concerning the identity of the dead
man the police support three distinctly
different theories. One is that 1t Is not
the body Of Lamonica, because owing
to the latter's standing in Italian cir
cles, he in all probability would not
have been simply dressed. Another Is
that 1t Is not the body of an Italian but
that of an American. There is an abb
sence of the ordinarily curly black hair
of the Italian. The head is bald on top,
and the few remaining hairs are of
gray The mustache is of heavy
growth and almost wholly gray. A
third story is that it is none other
than the dead body of the missing
Frank Lamonica. He is said to have
had gray hair and slightly bald and a
gray mustache.
In age the man is about 5S or 60
years. About feet s inches, weight
about $50 pounds. 1t cannot be stated
whether or not the man was of stocky
build or not. He has evidently lain in
the rain for several weeks, and the sun
has dried up the body to a great ex-
tent.
The body of the unidentified man
was taken to the Bresee Bros. UNDER
taking parlors. IF possible an inquest
will be held on the body today, but 1t
is feared that identification will be inn
possible unless it is through the clothes
worn by the man.
This is the second time within
thirteen months that bodies of dead
men have been found on the Cudahy
ranch. On the former occasion a
Chinese was found lying in one of the
cabbage patches. His identity never
became known.

CONTEST
COMING
Conflict Over State
Rights Expected
Roosevelt Will Meet Bit
ter Opposition
Next Session Of Congress Will See a
Battle over Presidents Idea of
Giving Central Govern-
ment More Power
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Lines are
rapidly being drawn for a contest, or a
series of contests, in the fifty-ninth
congress over the extension of federal
power and its Capitalization at Wash
ington.
1t is inevitable that Roosevelts idea
of giving the national government more
power, to be lodged in the hands of the
president or his appointees, will arouse
antagonism in the senate and perhaps
in the house, and this antagonism must
be overcome If the reforms planned by
Roosevelt are to be attempted. 1t will
probably be the last stand for state
rights made in this country should the
president win.
The annual message of the president,
now being written, is said to briStle
with recommendations rghting by fed
eral power the many things which are
declared wrong. He is vigorous, it is
said, in his treatment of the railroad
rate question, and this is merely ex-
tending the powers of the interstate
commerce commission to say when the
rate is reasonable in commerce be-
tween states and to enforce rate.
Roosevelt is expected to make recon-
mendations bringing the private car
lines engaged in interstate commerce
within the same restrictions.
He will probably renew his recon-
mendations for a federal license or a
charter for all corporations engaged in
any business in more than one state.
The proposal for federal control and
investigation of life insurance COM
panies is on the same line. 1t only re-
quires the elaboration of this to include
fire insurance and liability companies,
trust companies and investment and
mining companies. In the same direc-
ton is the movement for a national
divorce law and Il recommendation
the president made a year ago for a
national employees liability law. A
similar tendency, though on broader
lines is the San Domingo treaty still
pending, which gives to this govern
ment the right to supervise foreign
debts and to pay the foreign claims of
disorganized republics.

brought under the Elkins law to test
the legality of certain commissions
paid by railroads (after the receipt of
the published rates) to a private car
transit company controlled by stock
holders of the corporation shipping

PENDANTS, while receiving as freight
money the open and published rates
for the transportation of commodities
have, 1t is stated. paid to the Transit
company, in whose private cars the

ed, commission of about 12 per cent
upon the amount of the freight money
collected. This petition is signed to
test the legality of such payments

Declares the Principle That Donations

Will Be Respected

by Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 12.-Dr. Wash
ington GLADDEN., moderator of the Con-
gregational church OF the United
States, announced today from his pull
pit that the controversy over tainted
money" seems to have been settled so
far as the Congregational church is
concerned.
In an address upon the work of the
Congregational church DR.. GLADDEN.
said:
There Is no longer any difference of
opinion among us respecting the prin-
ciples which should guide us in our
work. You are familiar with the reso-
luton which I offered at Seattle, which
was as follows:
"'Resolved, That the officers of the
board should not invite or solicit do
nations to it's funds from persons whose
gains have been made by methods rep
rehensible or socially Injurious
'I am permitted today to make re-
specting this the following statement:
"The principle for which we contend
was not voted down at Seattle; the
board simply declined to take action
upon it. I am now satisfied that that
principle will be respected in the fu-
ture actions of the board. There need
be no fear that moral issues will be
raised hereafter in the solicitation OF
money.
"This statement, I am sure, will be
gratifying and reassuring to many.
There is now every reason why we
should rally all our forces to regain
the ground we have lost and to push
the work with new energy | wish that
every Congregational church in the
country would make, next Sunday, or
as soon as possible thereafter, special
thanks offering for the settlement of
the controversy and the removal of
this hindrance to us"

FOUR-MASTER GOES ASHORE
Unidentified Vessel Lies in the Break
ers Off Tilamoo6
Bay
BY Associated Press.


PORTLAND. Ore, Nov. ia brief
telephone dispatch to the Oregonian
from Tillamook, Ore, states that an
unidentified four-master went ashore
in the breakers off Tillamook Bay at
5 p. m. today.
The bar is extremely rough and the
steamer Sue Gilmore, the only available
craft, is for that reason unable to go
to the vessels assistance.
Local marine men are totally at a
loss as to the identity of the craft be-
cause of the ambiguity of the descrip-
tion. If it is a four-masted schooner
it is probably the William Bowden from
San Francisco. as she is thought to be
the only schooner of that description in
that vicinity.
If it is not schooner it may be one
of dozen vessels which are due off
the Columbia or have recently sailed
from there.
