EL PASO, March 14.-(By F. c. L Carpenter. Special Correspond
 ent)-That this city is on the eve of great realty movement is con ceded by its most conservative citizens in all lines of business. That s city should experience a real estate revival. just prior to a presidential election, is somewhat of phenomina, but the fact remains, that this metropolis has never been so lively in many years.
 In casting around for a reason for the increased activity, the first and foremost one presenting itself. is the construction of the great government work, The Elephant Butte Dam," now being actively pushed to completion, costing more than Eight Million Dol lars, which will place some 250.000 acres in this immediate vicinity, un- der cultivation.
 Three other great centers in the Middle West-Denyer, Salt Lake and Spokane, all received an impetus in the last few years. from the fact that they were centered in districts pos sessing varied resources but it remain ed for Fl Paso, owing to her stragetic position, to show a more remarkable growth than any of the above named places. 1t is openly conceded by emin- ent travellers and business men, that inside of ten years. El Paso will far exceed in population and wealth Spo- kane, Denver Or Salt Lake. The busI- ness district is rapidly building up with substantial and permanent build ings and the residence district, espec- ially in the northeastern portion around Altura Park, which is blessed by two Electric Car Lines and Pure Mesa Water, is progressing so rapidly that in less than five years time the bulk of the cities population should be centered there.

Port Townsend, Wash, May IA
By pitting the suspects against each

Private Holt today in the murder of
Bandman Johnson last Friday night.
BY telling Holt that his compan-
ions in arrest had confessed, Holt fl
nally broke down and gave the Off
GERS all the details of the murder.
Holt narrated the manner in which
an agreement was settled between
Holt, Mcknight and Private CARRIER to
do away with Johnson and secure his
money. : ~
Holt made his confession to Captain
Harry Newton, of the 26th infantry
and broke into tears while doing so.
Mcknight stoutly denies any con-
nection with the crime.
The force of guards about the pris-
on has been doubled to prevent any
attempt to carry out the sentiment eX-
pressed that Holt should be lynched.

Portland, May 1.-Two assaults on
pawnbrokers, both Of which may re-
suit fatally, have occurred within the
last ~ hours.
The latest was reported to the po-
lice at 1880 this morning when the
unconscious form of II. Newman, a
Couch street pawnbroker, was found
lying in his shop with a deep cash in
his skull and two cuts across the face.
The weapon used by the murderer
was a length of gas pipe which was
found later.
Newman Is still unable to tell the
police what occurred in the store. He
is unable to give the police any de-
scription OF his assailant.
Max Hermann. the pawnbroker
who was attacked and beaten Mon
day evening. ist still at st. Vincents
hospital. The doctors fear his skull
may have been fractured.
C. w. Wagner, tn man arrested on
suspicion of completely in the Her
mann assault, is still in prison. He
will be examined this afternoon.
The police now believe that there
is an organized gang of pawnshop
thieves working in Portland. At this
time they do not connect Martin, the
accused murderer of Pawnbroker Ma
than Wolff, with any connection with
these thugs.

Portland, May 12,-Direct evidence
Of the most damaging character has
been secured for the state by local
detectives against Edward Hugh Mar
tin. the ex-army officer. accused of
the murder of the collateral banker,
Nathan Wolff.
The overcoat worn by Martin at the
time he was arrested and taken to
the city prison has been identified as
belonging to the dead pawnbroker. 1t
was worn by Wolff on the day he was
murdered
This is testified to by Mrs. Nathan
Wolff and her 11-year-old daughter
Alice.
Edward f. Eubanks, a clerk in a
local clothing store, identified the coat
as one he sold Wolff several months
ago. He declares he remembers II
particularly as 1t was a special order
Martin still preserves his stoical air
of indifference. When confronted
with this latest phase in his case he
merely offered his own explanation
of his ownership of the coat.
'I bought it from a peddler IN
front of the Portland hotel four
months ago." he said. Il can prove
this fact"

Now Is the time for all good men
TO come to the aid Of the publicity
movement and to do so attend the
mass meeting to be held in the Com
merclal association rooms this even
ing.
The meeting tonight will be the
crucial period In the campaign for a
publicity bureau and the success or
failure OF the movement will largely
depend upon the attitude Of property
owners and business men tonight.
AT the meeting tonight committee
is to be named to have charge of the
fund when raised and to have general
charge Of the publicity bureau when 1t
Is formed. Just how the committee
will be chosen is not yet settled. 1t
may be appointed directly by the
president or elected by those present.
As soon as the committee has been
chosen active work of soliciting funds
for the bureau will be taken up.
However, II is possible that the COM
mlttee will first take several days In
which to work out their plans before
they start upon the money raising
crusade. So no one need stay away
tonight for fear that he will be called
upon TO donate on the spot.

WAS BURNED
BODY IN RUINS is
IDENTIFIED BY RINGS.
No Longer Seems TO Be Any Doubt
Arch Fiend Finally Met Her Equal
Rings Were Imbedded i'm Flesh
and Were Not Noticed AT First Ex-
amination-One Gold Band Form
erly Belonged TO Her Second Hus-
band.

La Porte, Ind, May l2.-The most
convincing evidence so far discovered
shows that the body of the woman
found in the ashes of the Guinness
home was that of Mrs. Belle Guinness,
who had private burying ground
near her back door, was revealed to-
day when DR.. J. H. Meyers, the cor
oner's physician, found three rings
on one of the hands of the corpse
One plain gold band bore the in
scription, "P. G. to j. S, Aug. 2, "a
1t is thought that "P. c." was Phillip
Guinness, Mrs. Guinness second hus-
band.
Inside the second ring, set with a
diamond, was inscribed, III. S. to j.
S, 3-5. '95." The third was not in
scribed.
Several people declare these to be
the rings worn by Mrs. Guinness. The
rings had sunk into the flesh of the
hand and were not noticed at the first
examination of the body.

MANY BOYS ESCAPE FROM
STATE REFORM SCHOOL

System Introduced by New Officer at
Washington Institution Is RespOn-
sible.
Centralia, May 11.-Despite the eff
forts of Superintendent Thompson to
hide the facts II has been ascertalned
that II boys have escaped from the
state training school at Chehalis, be-
tween April 7 and May l Of this year.
OF this number only few have been
recaptured. Six Of these boys escap-
ed during the last week or 10 days of
April.
The cause of the trouble seems to be
the installation of new rules and ideas
by a new detail officeh, who is a re-
cent arrival from Kansas City II
appears that Superintendent Thomp-
son accepted these ideas, not dream
ing that the result would be so disas-
trous as 1t has become.
There have been no breaks for lib
erty among the girls; but owing to
the absence of Mrs.' Ella Stair. who
has left for a two weeks vacation in
Olympia, it is feared that attempts
will be made in the girls ward.

ALASKAN WHEAT YIELDS WE'LL.
Idaho Man Gets 2O0-FOld Returns
From Seed Sown.

A correspondent at Julietta, Idaho,
writing to the Lewiston Tribune con-
cerning the new Alaskan wheat grown
there, says:
Farmers in this section are much in
terested in the development of the
Alaska wheat. The experience of A.
Adams with the wheat has been most
successful and his total crop this year
Is for sale for seed.
OF the propagation of wheat and
the heavy yields he says:
Some three years ago l procured
one head of wheat with which have
been experimenting. I sowed the one
head in the fall of 1904 and in the
summer of 1905 harvested seven
pounds. Sowed the seven pounds in
the spring of 1906 and harvested l.
545 pounds that fall.
Sowed that in the fall of same year
but last years crop was mostly de-
stroyed by the heavy snow fall in the
winter and by hail storm in July
but saved enough to sow number OF
hundred acres this fall and spring for
crop in 1908. l raised over 200
times the amount of seed sown every
crop not destroyed by storms.
