WHOLESALE JEWELLERS
FORMING ASSOCIATION

Practically all the iewelry centers
OF the country west of New York are
represented in the meetings being
held in the Hotel PontcEartrain to
organize "A national wholesale jewel
ers association. No attempt mas been
made TO get large attendance. the
idea being to get delegates from all
the big cities such as Chicago. Cleve.
land, ST. Louis. Kansas City. etc,
where the jewelry trade centers.
The movement was initiated by the
Detroit jewelers. Board OF Trade last
Novemb Der. and the association being
formed will deal with evils affecting
the trade. such as misbrdnding OF
goods.
we aim to protect the customer
and the legitimate retail trade says
Secretary G. A. Berkey. of the De
troit board.
One of the problems TO be talked on
will be that of the mall order houses.
The mail order house has come to
stay. but the retailer can retain his
best trade bv simply making repu-
.ation for himself and hustling," says
b. H. Allor. of ST Louis. i know
Of one retail jeweler who keeps the
mail order catalogues on his counter
and shows customers that he can sell
as cheaply as the big concerns ON
worthy goods and that he can guar
antee his goods in addition. He has
gained instead OF lost.
The visiting jewellers were given an
auto ride around the city Wednesday
afternoon and dined at Belle Isle
casino.

claims to have positive proof that
Booth. the assassin % President Lin
coin. not only escaped after killing the
president in Washington In April,
1865. but lived until 1903, committing
suicide in Oklahoma.
The author further alleges that
Booth made a confession 10 him some
eight years ago in which he impli-
Gated Andrew Johnson, vice-president
Of the United States. as being an ac-
complete in the murder.
Here Is the main part OF the con
fession as related by Bates in his

half TO kidnap Lincoln and take him
to Richmond as hostage OF war. We
came 10 Washington that day TO make
a final effort, but when we arrived In
the city. We learned for the first time
that Gen. Lee had surrendered. We
went Immediately TO the Kirkwood

Johnson and told him further efforts

less. when Johnson remarked: Will
you falter at this supreme moment?
Then he added: Are you toe
fainthearted 10 kill him."
The book quotes contradictory state
ments by Gen. Lew Wallace, Gen. Da-
ma and others regarding the disposi-
ton OF the body supposed to be that
OF John Wilkes Booth, one account
stating that ne was buried in prison

an island and third that his body
