Mariposa. Cal, May 14.-Four skele-
tons, discovered near q well with a
secret tunnel leading to the home of
George Mccoy. a mysterious recluse,
who died two years ago, set men dig
ging in the belief that they might ex-
pose cycle of concealed crimes. re-
sembling those unearthed with the
discovery of the Guinness murder farm
in Laporte, Ind.
Mccoy, whose odd mode of life had
earned him an evil reputation, owned
a ranch near Mariposa for more than
fifty years. He lived alone, stunned
acquaintance and kept his history an
enigma from the day he appeared as
sullen stranger from nowhere and
bought the ranch from an old settler
in 1853.
Wilson Disappeared.
John Wilson, whose ranch adjoined
McCoy's, disappeared thirty years ago.
Mccoy, who had quarreled with Will
son, was accused of his murder and
narrowly escaped being lynched.
The entrance to the tunnel in which
the four skeletons were found. was
concealed by a gigantic slab plastered
over with earth.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
ADVERTISING PAYS.

Do you believe in advertising? Los
Angeles does.
Little more than generation ago
Los Angeles was Mexican pueblo of
10000 souls and few flee-bitten
dogs. Today it is an up-to-date city
with nearly 100000 people; progress
i've. busy. educated people who enjoy
AZ much culture as the eastern cities
that boast of more.
What effected this quick change?
Well, it's true that Los Angeles had a
climate that bore out its old Spanish
name, Puebla de la Reina de los An
geles (town OF the queen of the an
gels. Angels might go farther and
fare worse. dramatically. Then, too,
electricity has done much for the city.
Without its fine electric traction, its
development would undoubtedly have
been slower. But advertising.
There's the key!
The commercial organizations of
this western metropolis have spent, in
the last 10 years directly nearly
100000 In telling what fine place
Los Angeles Is. Newspapers. maya
zines. train timetables, street cars,
handbills, posters, billboards, every
where has been blazoned forth the
virtues of Los Angeles. Persons who
have never been within 5000 miles OF
this city speak Of 1t Familiarity as q
paradise on earth. And has this adj
vertising paid? Ask a man from Los
Angeles.
It has been the same with Los An
geles. though. as with any marketa-
BILE product. You must believe In
your wares. Now the Southern Cali
fornian believes in Los Angeles as he
believes In his appetite. To him
there's no place on earth like It;
what's more, he tells people SO. He
tells them in such way that they
tell others. The answer: one of the
finest cities in the Union.-World

THE ouEeTioNs OF sEvERIOcE.
When Senator Aldrich arises In his
might and dilates on his vast exper-
fence Of thirty years study Of the tar
if 1t really seems most unfair that
the younger Senator Beverage, from
the state of Indiana. should ask him
questions about the tariff.
Now the questions which Senator
Beverage has been asking have been
Illuminating in the extreme in show
ing that the Aldrich brand of stand
patter has very little regard for the
facts even after thirty years OF study.
unless the facts happen to suit his
uses. They also disclose the fact that
even after thirty years of study that
the complacent Aldrich does not care
to use the result of his able investi-
CATION. And whether this has any
thing to do with the present tariff 1t
will have something to do with anoth-
err tariff.
II Beverage keeps up this rapid
fire of inquiry there can be no doubt
that the public will in time. show
enough of thirst for knowledge itself
to demand Tariff Bureau or q Tar.
III Commission which will do away
with the expert wisdom of Senator
Aldrich.
Not many weeks ago-just before
the tariff session of congress-there
met in the city of Indianapolis gath
ering of men who represented most
of the commercial and industrial in
terests of this country who. for the
selfish reason Of wanting q good tar
iff, demanded from congress that
there should be more exact informa-
ton used in the building of a tariff
than the mere line of laggard infor-
nation which Aldrich says he has &C
cumulated after thirty years..
So II Beveridge fails in the present
instance OF tariff revision according
to the promises OF the party and &C
cording to the sentiments of Taft and
the Middle West--the people at least
will have learned their lesson. If
there Is to be a good tariff it must
not be the slip shod thing we make
in committees in disregard of the peo-
pies wishes and playing on the ignor-
ance Of the people.
Let there be light.
And there will be light II there is a
tariff commission. Congress will not
have the audacity to serenely go
counter to the findings Of an impartial
commission appointed by a honest
president.
The tariff commission will come
and Beverage will have had much to
do with its coming II he keeps up the
fire of questions which are giving
sore discomfort to the stand patters.
