New York, July 30-That the slain body of the man found floating in the tide off Gravesend Beach last Sunday is that of Harry Cornish, one of the central figures in the Adams murder case a few years ago. is the opinion of a man who was almost in deadly contact with Cornish at that time He is Charley Crane, who was employed as private detective to watch some of the MolineuX jruymen while the trial was in progress, and who now holds a concessin in a Coney Island amusement resort.
 Although the body of the murdered man was believed to be Harry Cornish, the Identification was subsequently dis proved. Cornish called up newspapers and asked that the report of his death be corrected

The Railroads.
 The railroads must be kept open to all upon exactly equal terms. Every form Of rebate and discrimination in railroad rates Is crime against busi ness, and must be stamped out. We uemand adequate railroad facilities, ana advocate bill empowering ship pers, In time of need. to compel rail- soads to provide sufficient cars for freight and passenger traffic and other railroad facilities through summary appeal to the courts.

The interstate commerce. commission should have the power to instigate investigation into .ne reasonableness of rates and prac- uces' and no increase in rates should oe put into effect until opportunity oI such investigation is afforded The interstate commerce commission should proceed at once with a physical .aluation of railroads engaged in in- 'erstate commerce.

 The reclamation of arid lands should be continued, and the irrigation pro- gramme, now contemplated by the gov ernment, extended and staps taken for the conservation of the country's na- tlonal resources, which should be guarded, not only against devastation and waste, but against falling into the control of monopoly. The abuses grow Ing out of the administration of our forest preserves must be corrected, and provision should be made for graz ing from public lands outside of forest or other reservation. In behalf of the people residing in arid portions of our western states, we protest vigorously against the policy of the Federal gov ernment in selling the exclusive use of water and electric power derived rom public works to private corpora tons, thus creating a monopoly and subjecting citizens living in those sec tons exorbitant charges for light and power, diverting enterprises original ly started for public benefit into chan nels for corporate greed and oppres- sion, and we demand that no more ex- CluSlNc COntTdCtS De made.
 Protection of American Citizens.
 American citizens abroad. whether native born or naturaliZed. and of whatever race or creed, must be secur- ed in the enjoyment of all rights and privileges under our treaties. and wherever such rights are withheld by any country on ground of race or re- ligious faith, steps should be taken to secure the removal of such unjust dis elimination.
 Popular Election of Senators, Income
 Tax.
 We advocate the popular election or Unitd States senators and of judges, both state and Federal, and favor a graduated income tax, and any consti- tutional amendment necessary to these ends; equality and opportunity; the largest measure of individual liberty consistent with equal rights: the over- throw off rule of special interest and the restoration of government by the majority, exercised for the benefit of the whole community These are the purposes to which the Independence Poity 10 piCuSCu, anu we IuVlJ0 the cooperation of all patriotic and pro- gressive citizens, irrespective of party. who are in sympathy with these prin- ciples and in favor of their practical enforcement.

Asiatic Exclusion.

or states or munlclpaltleS.
 Asatic Exclusion.
 We oppose Asiatic immigration, which does not amalgamate with our population, creates race issues and un- American conditions, and which reduc- es wages and tends to lower the high standard of living and the high stan- dard of morality which American civ ilization has established.
 We demand the passage of an eXclu- sion act which shall protect American workingmen from competition with Asiatic cheap labor, and which shall protect American civilization from the contamination of Asiatic conditions. The Navy.
 The Independence party declares for peace and against aggression, and will promote the movement for the settle ment of international disputes by arbi- tration.
 We believe, however, that a small navy is poor economy, and that a strong navy is the best protection in times of war and the best preventive of war. We therefore favor the speedy building of navy sufficiently strong to protect at the same time, both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States.
 Inland Waterways and National Re.
 sources.
 We rejoice in the adoption by both the Democratic and Republican plat forms of the demand of the Independ- ence party for improved national wa terways, and the Mississippi inland deep waterways project project to com plete ship canal from the gulf to the great lakes. We favor tho extension of this system to the tributaries of the Mississippi by means of which thirty state shall be served. and 20,000 miles
