ON MURDER
SUSPECT
OAKLAND POLICE DIG UP
WILKINS PRISON RECORD
Claim He Served Time in San
Quinten For SIaShing Former
Wife With Razor; Mysterious
Woman involved.

JBy Morning journal special Leased Wire.
Oakland, Cal, Nov. 27.-The au-
thOrities claim tnat strong circumstan-
tal evidence against Wilkins is COM
ing to light. aside from the finding
OF the body one of the most vital
pieces of evidence against the accused
man Is that 1t can be proved that he
returned to Oakland on the night his
wife had disappeared and had said
that he was Inat afternoon leaving
for the east for a visit of several
months.
A mysterious woman is also in--
volyed in the case. She was with
wilkins and came with him to Oak
land on the evening of July 81, the
night Mrs. wilkins disappeared. These
facts are embodied in the evidence of
Maynard Meyer, a machinist in the
employ of the Pacific Motor Car COM
pany, of San Francisco, and a neigh
Dor of wilkins. Mrs. Folsom, wife of
the superintendent of the Native
Sons hall In San Francisco, was
probably the last person to see the
murdered woman before her death.
ON Sunday evening shortly before
dark Mrs. Folsom and Mrs. wilkins
sat on the front porch of the wilkins
home, two doors from the Folsom
house.
on February Q, 1899. wilkins, un-
resided at IA McAllister street, in San
Francisco. attacked his wife with a
razor and nearly KILLED her. He was
tried and convicted of assault with in
tent to commit murder and sem
fenced to two years imprisonment in
the penitentiary Soon after he was
sent to prison his wife disappeared,
and the police have no record of her
whereabouts While at San Quentin
serving his sentence Bennett was Wis
tied by woman who gave the name
Of Lena Jackson. and to whom he
was married soon after his release
They had not lived together for more
than five months, however, when she
left him. He then went east and was

According to the police wilkins. or
Bennett. has lived i'm many states, and
in each he has had trouble with
women. The prison records bear out
the opinion that the identification of
wilkins as Bennett is correct. The
official descriptions agree i'm all par
ticulars except that wilkins weighs
more than the weight given to Ben
nett. This. however, Is not consid-
cred of Importance. as weight is
changeable factor with almost every
one.
Another point considered of im-
portance Is the fact that when Ben
nett was arrested he gave his occu-
patton as that of a marine engineer,
as did also wilkins when he was
taken into custody

Washington, Nov 27-Data rela-
tive to the work now going on in con-
neCtiOn with the construction of the
Panama canal, later ia date than that
contained in the report of the 18TH
milan canal commission published to-
day, Is Just made public In the shape
Of detailed report of operations for
the month of October received at the
canal offices In this city. From this
Il appears that construction is pro-
crossing even more rapidly than was
forecasted in the annual report of the
commission. on the Culebra section,
which represents the greatest eXcava-
ton on the line, the total amount Of
earth and rock removed last month
was 634. 4.499 cubic yards. This was
about two ana one-half times more
than was removed during the same
month Of the previous year and the
average output per steam shovel was
about SO per cent greater, nOtwith-
standing that the railfall was nearly
three times as great as In October
1906
Work on the other sections and di-
visions seems 10 have progressed in
like proportions. not only i'm the mat
ter Of excavation by steam shoyels
hut In dredging and blasting. i'm the
latter case no less than 1876. f99 lineal
feet of holes, having been drilled In
the rock for blasting purposes In the
Culebra division alone.
The largest force of cmplayes ever
working on the isthmus since the in
ception of the canal project under the
French. were at work al the close Of
October, when the commission was
employing 25.945 men and the Pan
anna railroad 6.139; total ~ 32054.
Fewer Europeans We're brought IN
than anv other time since operations
we're commenced.

AN EFFECTIVE LESSON

Probably the most effective lesson
taught by the ining of the Standard Oil
company is that what has come to be
known as "Big Business" throughout
the country is under and subject to the
law. There has been a disposition N
Standard Oil circles, not to seek illus
tration further, to select just what laws
ought to be obeyed and what to dis
regard. A Standard Oil magnate has
no doubt the same ideals on the subject
of the ten commandments as the hum
best citizen, providing, of course, they
are not made to apply to his own bust
ness. But Standard would Indignantly
deny that it had any other desire in
crushing competition, and throttling
healthy activity, than in benefiting the
community at large; that so long rs
somebody was being benefited, the law
was a mere secondary consideration.
Even this excuse is not valid since tho
government has shown by actual figures
the facts. But that is n minor mat
ter The Standard Oil people now thor
oughly understand that no matter how
poor or how rich, law is of general ap-
pication, and that it cannot be escaped
even by men whose fortunes would pay
the national debt.

RAISING THE BOY

The statement of an economist that
it costs $25,OOO to raise "middle
class" boy in this country, from baby
hood until the boy reaches what is
termed the age of financial indepcn-
dence, is being challenged in many
quarters.
The figures may be high, says the
Denver Republican, but at any rate
there will be few to dispute the asser-
tion that it costs more to raise boy
today than it did q generation or SO
ago. Apparently the chief cause of
additional expense in raising the boy
is the rush to the professions at the
expense of the trades. The modern boy
must be equipped for some profession,
which means a long and expensive col,
legiate course. He does not reach the
age Of Financial independence" until
he is % or "a years old, whereas the
boy who took up work after the com.
pletion of q common school course was
financially independent at 81, if not
before. The result of the rush for the
"higher education" has been to in
crease the price of manual labor until
it has reached proportions that would
have seemed fabulous few years ago
One reads Of a crying demand for men
to do the worlds work-a demand that
cannot be supplied. There are not
working men enough to harvest the
crops Of the world, to build the new
railroad system, or to finish the Panama
canal. Yet the great cities contain
thousands Of young men who have en-
tered the professions, and who are fac
ing starvation-or who would be starv.
ing if they did not receive assistance
from those who are "raising the
boy" One reads Of Oxford graduates
in London acting as "sandwich men"
on the streets of London, while the
great railroads of Canada have been
forced to suspend construction work
on account Of . scarcity Of labor.
