DEATH LOWERING CLOSE,
MCCarty Farm Near Kaukauna
Has Dark History Ct Fatality.
OWNERS MURDER CLIMAX
Hold-ups and Crossing Accidents Have
Been Many and People Fear to
Pass by Nights.

KAUKAUNA, Wis, Oct 2t.-LSpe-
cial. IA singular fatality seems to be
connected with the McCarty farm and
its immediate vicinity as half a dozen
peculiar deaths and several hold-ups
have occurred there and near the farm.
Sister Killed by a Fall.
A number of years ago a daughter of
Charles McCarty. the 16-year-old sister
of the supposedly murdered man,
Michael NJ. McCarty, fell from load
of hay and was instantly killed, break
ing her neck.
Just in front of the house is the ia
nous 'McCarty crossing" called so be-
cause of the number of deaths and ac-
cidents by being caught under passing
engines.
John Younger was the first death. next
was an Oneida Indian, Peter Smith.
then a tramp was killed soon after. and
four months ago Henry Haas was killed
one Sunday evening.
McCarty Mystery Latest.
Now the tragedy that is puzzling the
skill Of good detectives is the supposedly
murdered proprietor of the farm, Michael
McCarty.
Just below the farm on the Fox river
a few years ago William Crogan, watch
man on the government dredge, was MUIR
dered and his remains cremated in the
fire set, to hide the crime.
Fear to Pass at Night.
Between McCarty's crossing and the
next one towards the village of Wrights-
town holdups have been so frequent
that the sand cut" as it is known,
bears an uncanny reputation, and peo-
pie fear to pass that way by night.
An attempt was made to drag Fox
river, which runs at the rear of the Nc
Carly farm, but the weather was so
stormy that the work was soon aban-
doned without results.
Another Mystery on Foot.
Two strangers who inquired the road
past the McCarty farm passed through
Kaukauna a few nights since while it
was raining hard. The hour, 1 o'clock
at night, and some excuses they made
for journeying at such an unreasonable
time made their actions seem suspicious.
They asked for a lantern which they
said would be returned.

THE BRITISH
AS BUMPERS

Albert Halstead, in letter from
London to the American Economist,
throws some light on processes by
which the British increase their ex-
ports. The result of any relaxation Of
our policy Of safeguarding the interests
of American workingmen may be in
ferred from his explanation. He says;
"The British trade returns for the
first FIVE months Of the present year
show that this dumping process is in
full swing. In the British export
trade the percentage of increase has
been as follows: January, 81; Feb
ruary, 81; March, 1877; April, 81, and
May, 12. The percentage Of increase
for the entire FIVE months is slightly
over 8 per cent. The export total in
creased E9,67S,997, to s129, ,72O, 1924, for
the FIVE months.
"Why is this an increase due large
ly to dumping1 it may be asked. For
one thing, one hears on every side in
England complaint as to the condition
Of trade. The number Of the unem.
ployed was never so great, it is stat.
ed by those who should know. The
domestic trade does not show the inn
provement that such an increase Of
the export trade, IL the increase were
not abnormal and due to dumping Of
surplus products, would cause. The
British manufacturer has no protec.
tion from the pauper-made goods Of
Europe of those Of the highly paid
American workingman. so improved
business here always increases imports.
Imports have increased for the Eve
months, but only by f2,052,s69, or as
per cent. That increase is not such
as to indicate that the increase in ex-
ports is due TO any other cause than
that Of dumping It may be said
right here that il we Americans relax
our tariff policy, proceed to 'readjust
our tariff schedules and reduce them
in any degree, the British manufac'
turers, who are praying for better
trade, will devote all their energies to
entering the American market, and the
Germans will be equally active. Dump
ing will be more successful then, be'
cause tho duties to overcome will be
lower and the percentage Of reduction
I
from the actual market price neces
sary in order to get under our tariff
will be less. Mark that"
