FRENCH SHERLOCK HOLMES.
Describes in Detail How Mime. Gouin
Was Murdered.

Paris, Dec. 1s.-The best detectives in
France are convinced now that Nine.
Gouin was murdered. The mutilated
body of the woman, widow of Jules
Edouard Gouin. lately governor of the
Bank of France, was found Thursda y
beside the railroad tracks near Paris.
The detectives believed at first that
Nine. Gouin committed suicide or had
fallen accidentally from the speeding
train. Now they are so certain she was
murdered that they venture to describe
the manner of it.
Her murderer. they say, is probably
a cunning and desperate criminal With
robbery in view, he bought first class
ticket for Paris at some suburban sta
ton Nine. Gouin was nearly 20 years
and an invalid. Finding her alone in a
compartment. he killed her, stripped
her hands of her rings, seized her
leather handbag and opened the door
of the compartment and flung the body
out. The man wiped his hands on the
window curtain and threw that also
from the compartment. He could not
open the handbag. so he split it With
two knife cuts and after rif1ing it threw
it from the carriage.

SAYS STRIKE IS OVER.
President Hill Declares 1t Exists in
Name Only.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 1S.-In discuss
ing general railroad conditions of the
country, James J. Hill of the Great
Northern contends that with the ad-
vance in cost of all material required
for construction and maintenance OF
railroads, the large railroad systems
of the country are having trouble to
make ends meet.
Engineers and trainmen," said Mr..
HILL when asked concerning the
agitation in the east for a general
strike among railway employees. ARE
among the best paid laborers in the
country and their wages have been In
creased more during the last few years
than those of any other class of work
men. For that reason I think that
the possibility of a general strike
among these men is altogether re-
mote and, in fact, not considered SER
iously by the men themselves.
1.-The recent strike by the switch
men employed on the northern rail-
roads was the result. more of rivalry
between two organizations of these
employees than from any other cause.
The organization which ordered the
walkout here hoped to be successful.
and IN that way attract to its mem
bership all switchmen employed on
the other railroad systems and who
are affiliated with the order of rail-
way trainmen. But it required only
three days to place the strike where
it failed to prove troublesome to the
railroads. AS a result the strike
exists in name only"

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
Causes Alarm to Governor Judson Har-

New York, Dec. 1S.-Governor Jud-
son Harmon OF Ohio, who returned to
his home today after a "a hours visit
in New York city, is alarmed over the
increased cost of living in the United
States.
81 think the higher cost of living is
due to the tariff he said, "for the
high prices do not apply to farm prod
ucts only. No, the last tariff does not
suit me. 1t suits nobody-except the
few that profit by it. There is not
only much complaint, but actually suf-
fering among eople of limited means
and those who work for wages as re-
suit of these Republican prices"
Governor Harmon would not dis
cuss the future of the Democratic par
ty, nor would be say anything about
things in Washington.

LAST HOPE GONE.
Nineteen-Year- old Taber Girl Fails
in Fight for Property

Denver. Colo, Dec. 1s.-"Silver
Dollar Echo" Taber's struggle to re-
gain any portion of the estate of
many millions of the late United
States Senator H A. W. Taber, con-
corning which there has been end
less litigation for many years. has
come to a sorrowful end on her nine
tenth birthday.
1t was the last day on which she
could file a contest. For several years
Miss Taber has declared she would
start proceedings when she came of
age. One year ago she began the in
vestigation in her own way. She had
no means to employ an attorney, and
for twelve months she has attempted
to unravel the legal entanglementS
which surround the estate in order
that she might save her equity.
Yesterday she walked into the county
clerk and recorders Office and pre-
scented a lengthy document for record,
crude in wording and form. 1t was
prepared by herself In her girlish
manner she had gone straight at the
thing she wished to say and said it.,
setting forth an equity in the Taber
Grand opera house block and to the
old home on Grand avenue.
But the clerk could find no law for
the recording of the document. The
law provides for a suit or some will
or instrument of record justifying a
lis pendens and this was but the
crude plea Of a girl for justice.
So Miss Taber shed bitter tears
when the doors closed and shut out
her last ray of hope for millions.

SUES GIRL FOR BREACH PROMISE
Discharged Marine Wants $4,000 as
Heart Balm.

Los Angeles. Dec. 1s.-A damage suit
for $4,000 for alleged breach of promise
to marry was fled yesterday by Russell
E. Clark. formerly a marine of the
United States navy, against Grace We'd
der, daughter of W. H. Vedder former
mayor of Pasadena and banker OF
that city.
Clark alleges that he first met Miss
Vedder in May 1908, when he was a
marine on the u. S. S. Minnesota, ac-
compa nying the American fleet on it's
trip around the world. He had only a
few hours shore leave at Santa Barbara
but in that short time he gained the
consent of Miss Vedder to marry him,
conditioned, he says, upon his retire
ment from the service.
He says that after the cruise around
the world he so conducted himself that
he was found guilty of breaches of
discipline which caused his discharge.
He then came to California and met
Miss Vedder only to be told that her
father would not consent to the mar
riage and that therefore. she withdrew
her promise.

JAPAN is FOR PERU.
Has No Desire to Encroach on Rights
of Other Nations.

Toxic, Wednesday, Nov. 24.-"It is
not Japans desire or Japan's intention
to encroach upon the rights of others
or to win a way in the world by swash-
buckling.'' This is the position of the
mikado's government as made clear
in semiofficial statements which have
just been issued to the resident diplo-
mats here. japan, the ministry frank
ly declares has gone through a period
of bitter experience and her statesmen
have profited by that experience. The
clearing of the atmosphere will, it is
believed, make Japan's situation
among the nations an easier one and
will tend to relieve the suspicious
which the people of the United States
and other powers have some times en-
tertained as to Japans international
intentions.
Immediately following the war;
says the spokesman for the Japanese
government, in making clear the
present position and policy of his ma
ton, there was a widespread 1eaven
of bombast and the mass of the people
were inclined to wave the sword and
shout of great deeds done and greater
deeds to follow There was not desire
on the part of the ruling forces to en-
courage this, but the sentiment of the
outside world was aroused against
Japan because of this chauvinistic
element.
''It may be said that it took two
years dl ASdSl IOi the SONSIulIS IOIC6S
in Japan to realize fully the danger of
this spirit which pervaded the empire.
but having once come to a full
appreciation of it every effort was
made to disabuse the mind of the
mass of the Japanese and show not
only to the people of Japan, but to the
outside world that it was the intention
of this country TO develop her own re-
sources peacefully; to reduce eXpendi-
lures upon army and navy to mini
mum consistent with the up-keep of
the present standard and to show to
all countries that Japan has no desire
to encroach upon Others

STOCKS ARE UNSETTLED
Numerous Conditions Have Caused
Financial E1utterings.

New York. Dec. 1s.-The UPS and
downs of the price movement this
week have sufficiently indicated the
uncertainties of the stock market.
The increase in the Reading. and
Louisville & Nashville dividend gave
proof of the substantial betterment
in earning power which has prompted
the rise in stocks. Prospects of
similar advances elsewhere had more
effect on prices than these actual in
creases on the stocks affected. The
rise in foreign exchange to the gold
export point promised a complication
in the money market which was not
relished. The action of the Pittsburg
labor conference against the United
States Steel corporation kept atten-
ton on the labor problem. The
deadening effect on speculation and
possibly on business of the tendency
of the supreme court decision in the
American Tobacco case is dreaded.
