DOES ADVERTISING
PAY? YOU BET!
Advertising pays.

Advertising pays.
At least there is one woman in
this town today who believes that
II does, and she is Mrs. Rouff of
O3916 Walnut street, the widow
lady whose Christmas turkey was
stolen by some hard-hearted GUS
toner.
On Thursday The Press ran a
little story about the stealing of the
turkey, remarking in the story that
the fellow who swiped the turk
wa the meanest man in Spokane.
fhe result of the publication of
this little article was that on Sat
urday the turkey again made its
appearance in the Rouff dooryard.
So Mrs. Rouff had turkey for din
ner yesterday. and she believes to-
day that advertising pays.

new MYSTERY IN
Trunk MYSTERY
Witnesses Say Supposed Vic
tim Was Alive After Crime
Was Committed

New York. Nov. 2S-A new turn
was given the trunk mystery murder
today by the statements of witnesses
who declared that Albert Caller, the
supposed victim, was seen alive in
1905, three years after the date when
the crime is believed to have been
committed. The trunk containing the
body recently discovered in the
dwelling house tenement, is alleged
to have been left there in 1902 by Will
liam Lewis, waiter for whom a
widespread search Is now being made.
Caller, a French artist, who was a
close friend of Lewis, disappeared in
1902 and until now no one has re-
ported having seen him since. Au-
thorittes today, however, are in COM
with two persons who de-
clare they saw Caller in this city
in 1905.

lament in the reign of late King Ed

last, was dissolved today in pursu-
ance of the program of the Liberal
government to go before the country
on the question Of the prerogative Of
the house of lords. The kings speech
was notable for its brevity, the only
reference to the constitutional crisis
being the colorless expression Of re-
gret that the conference between the
leaders Of the opposing parties had
failed of an agreement over the
reformation of the upper chamber.
The longest and most interesting
paragraph, which Immediately follow

majesty's father, dealt with the re-

NOVEL RELATIONSHIP

Newark, N. j., Nov. 2S.-An unusual
situation arose with the marriage Of
the marriage the bridegroom becomes
the husband Of his stepsister and Mel
son Baldwin, the father of the BRIDE
groom, becomes the father-in-law of
his stepdaughter.
Seven years ago the father. who is
associated with his son in the paint
ing business, married for the second
time, taking for his bride Mrs. Annie
Morgan, a widow. When Mrs. Nor
gan came to the Baldwin home she
brought her daughter Mabel with her.
At that time the young people were
still in school. Four years ago their
courtship began.

surance what may be the fate of the
administration bills along the lines
contemplated. Under the circum-
stances the chances are strongly
against most of them.
Other Needed Law.
Among the measures to be pressed
are those providing for the fortifica-
ton of the Panama canal, and this, 1t
is conceded, will provoke controver-
sy; the amendment of the postal laws
80 as to provide for parcels post
along rural delivery routes and for
increased postage on the advertising
portions of magazines; the granting
OF ship subsidies, the pensioning of
superannuated employees Of the civil
service, the creation Of a public land
court and the establishment of forest
reservations in the White mountains
in the north and in the Appalachians
In the south. Opposition to the naval
programme for the annual addition Of
two battleships to the navy may be
expected but 1t probably will not be
effective in the approaching session.
The forest reservation bill occupies
favorable position and probably will
become a law. 1t has passed the
house and day for a vote on 1t by
the senate has been fixed.
The ship subsidy bill is the unfin-
ish business in the senate, but some
Of the Democrats say even now that
any persistent effort to pass 1t would
result in an extra session.
The present congress will be asked
to provide for a re-apportionment Of
the house of representatives to con-
form to the developments. Of the
thirteenth census, and any measure
with that end in view is liable to be-
come the subject of sharp controver-
sy.
Actually there is not much chance
for party advantage in the apportion-
ment but it always is assumed that
there Is and the Democrats will con-
tend for the postponemcnt Of this
legislation until the begin of the Six
ty-second congress. 1t is not expect
ed now that the monetary commission
will report during the approaching
session but there is some pressure on
1t to do so. Any suggestion of a CEN
trail bank at this time probably would
be bitterly antagonized.
Many members are speculating as
to the status Of insurgent Republi-
cans during the short session. There
is noticeable change in the attitude
Of the stalwarts toward this faction
of the party. Generally, there seems
to be a tendency toward accepting the
result at the polls as an expression Of
sentiment in the direction Of progress
sive action. although some Of the de-
feated members Of the old guard
combat this idea and attribute the
overturn of the Republican house to
q "landslide' with the variety Of
meanings attached to that expression.

London, Nov. 2S.-Premier Asquith

reform Of the house of lords as a
crude and complex one, which asked
shackles for new.

explanation of his proposals for re-
form.

reform would have on the cotton trade
Of Lancashire.
