For Manufactures

To the Editor OF The Washington Times.
One point about this Greater Wash

peculiar. and that is the persistency
with which the shores Of the Potomac
are pointed out as the only available
and convenient localities to locate fac
tories
Why this overlooking the northeast
section? II is just as, and IN some
points more, favorably located than the
Potomac shores. Hyattsville, for in
stance. has some Of the most ideal fac
tory sites for any kind Of manufactur-
ing.
Il has a waterpower which could be
utilized for the production Of cheap
electric power. and is easily accessible
by both steam and electric roads, as we'll

Taxes are low and no smoke law TO

land does not have TO be plastered with
treasury notes TO secure a title to IL.
In fact, 7 believe that, If rightly ap-
preached. owners Of large tracts Of land
in this vicinity could be prevailed upon
TO donate sufficient acreage TO reliable
firms in order TO secure their manufac-
turing plants.

Stensland in Texas;
Suddenly Disappears

HOUSTON. Tex. Aug. u.-Reports
from FL Paso. Eagle Pass. Laredo. and
Brownsville tonight are to the effect
that the authorities at those places have
been unable 10 learn anything of the
whereabouts OF Paul o. Stensland, the
absconding president Of the Milwaukee
Avenue state Bank. OF Chicago. The
Galveston authorities also declare that
Stensland has not been there. 50 far
as they have been able to ascertain; he
has escaped the Houston authorities.
A missing oyster schooner from Cal
weston. il is believed by many, would
solve the. mystery Of Stensland's dis
appearance. He is known TO have left
Fort Worth for Galveston, where, for
a small sum, he might have chartered
any number OF small craft. and sailing
along the coast have escaped into Mex
leo.
An oyster schooner OF unusually large
proportions left Galveston yesterday and
has not returned. which is regarded
with suspicion by the authorities, who
believe that Stensland has thus slipped
through their fingers.

bills which they intend to introduce.
How many of them VIII finally find a
place on the statutes remains to be seen.
1t is safe to predict, however, that if
any of them are inimica Bile to the inter
ests of corporations it will be only a
waste of time to introduce them. AS IN
the Senate, men who are recognized as
being friendly to corporation interests
fill all the principal committees to which
corporation measures are referred. and
it is not likely that they will vote to
report any measure to which the corpo-
rations are opposed. The Hudson men
who have anti-corporation bills ready for
introduction may as we'll consider this
before they offer them. Many men have
gone to- Trenton and found themselves ,
greatly disliked because they had the
temerity to offer bills against corpora
tions, especially when they knew that
there was NOT one chance out of thou
said Of auch bills ever becoming laws.
Assemblyman Berg is extremely anx-
ions to secure the enactment Of bill
which he will introduce providing for the
abolition Of capital punishment in the
State AMI making life Imprisonment the
penalty for niulIss. At almost every
session Of the LegiAlature during the past
ten years similar bills have been intro
duced. but they never leave the commit
tees hands because Of the decided oppo-
s.tion III many quarters Of the State to
the abolition Of capital punishment. If
Mr. Berg Il determined to introduce such
4 bill It is extremely likely that il will
nseat the fate of It's predecessors.
