SHE IS KNOWN AT LAST
Mystery of the Tamalpais Victim Has
Been Cleared.

San Francisco. Feb. 2S.-Tho mys-
terry of the identity of the woman
whose body was found on the side of
Mount Tamalpais several weeks ago
has at last been solved: at least. to
the satisfaction of the Marion county
authorities. Mrs E. S. futile of Mill
Valley yesterday identified the watch
and the fieur de lis pin as those OF
Mrs. Rose Mckay, who worked for her
as a domestic fora time in the sum-
mer of 1908.
The watch is the same timepiece
that was identified by jeweler in
Eureka as having been repaired by his
father several years ago for James Nc
Kay, half-breed Indian who formerly
lived in Humboldt county. The Nc
Kay woman lived in Eureka at one
time, after she had run away from
Portland, where her stepmother now
lives.
According to a story she once told
Mrs. TuttIe. she married a man
named Mckay in Eureka. The cloth
ing of the woman whose remains were
found on the mountainside was pur-
chased in Portland.

MURDOCH ON MAILS.
Kansas Congressman Tells House
Something About Postal Service.

Washington. Feb. 23.-''Tne govern
ment should enact new definition OF
monopoly in the carriage of the malls
it should not lose the remunerative mail
matter, which is that derived from the
shorter haul and accept the unremuner
alive matter involving the longer haul,
declared Representative Murdoch of
Kansas. in commenting upon the post
office appropriation bill in the house.
Mr.. Murdoch cited laws. some of which
provided for the absolute monopoly by
the government of all mail matter and
others which excepted from that mon
opoly certain articles including news
papers. By declining unremunerative
business he explained. the express COM
panies forced upon the government the
carriage of all that class of matter
while they themselves accepted at
profit the short haul traffic.
IF the government should undertake
to make horizontal increase of rates
on all second-class matter without in
sisting upon absolute monopoly of all
mail matter" said Mr.. Murdoch, ''it
would simply increase the zone in which
the express company completes with the
government"
Mr. Murdoch insisted that business
considerations alone should not be en-
ployed in dealing with the mail service.
Amos Kendall he said. by the intro
duction of business methods had wiped
Out the deficit existing in the postal
service but with the result that he
nearly wiped out the postal service it

Calcutta. British India, Feb. "a
Chinese troops today entered Lhasa,
the capital of Tibet and the residence
of the Dalai Lama, the supreme head
of the Lamist hierarchy, who upon the
approach of the soldiers, fed with sew

Serious trouble has been anticipated
owing to the action of the small Chi

home and showing no respect for the
monasteries.
The Tibetans, resenting the desecra-

Chinese foreign board, praying that the
emperor of China interfere in the in
terests of the Buddhists. The petition
was disregarded as the Chinese pro-
pose to make The administration of the

The Dalai Lama appealed to Lord

Building Trades in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 23-The strike of
building trades workers is expected to

oonstru ctors. Building trades council
leaders declare they will call strike
en- every building where the Otis COM

landing place and will return shortly.
He declares that airships will shortly
take the place of all the transatlantic
steamships as passenger carriers, al
though he thinks that some of the

you" And he opened fire. The first
bullet went through Lords stomach.
The second entered Higbee'S chest and
Gale and Roger Young leaped at the
negro. But he continued shooting, the
shots causing panic in the car and
passengers stampeded for the doors or
hid under seats.

man, who had emptied his pistol and
was so powerful that he dragged Roger
Young with him to the platform.
Young held en-, however. and when the
negro leaped from the train while it
was making 20 miles an hour Young
went with him. In striking the en-
bankment, Young's grip on the negro

TAFT'S PARTNERS.
The President Tells Policemen He Is
With Them.

New York, Feb. 23.-Six hundred po-
lice ieutenants of Greater New York
cheered President Taft as he appeared
smiling before them at the Waldorf
Astoria at their fourth annual banquet
He had previously attended and deliv-
cred an address before the Society of
the Cincinnati in the state of New Jer-
sey, an ariStocratic affair held at the
Hotel Plaza. Leaving there after
speech which dwelt almost entirely
dent made quick progress to the police
gathering by automobile, where he was
enthusiastically received.
Mayor Gaynor shared the honorS with
Mr.. Taft at the lieutenants' banquet.
Only 70 persons. including the president,
were present at the Society of the Gin
cinnati. 1t was so exclusive that the
committee declined to give out list Of
guests or to furnish reporters with the
names of the speakers with the menu.
Truly remarkable was the reception
which the police lieutenants accord ed
the president. When he first entered
the hall they rose as a body waving
American flags. In a moment more the
room was filed with the shrill noise OF
their police whistles, which sounded
greetings. Then the Star Spangled
Banner was sung and later America.
The president said in part:
Il have come to tell you tonight that
I am with you. For we are engaged
in the same duty, that of preserving the
law and defending the rights of the peo-
pie and in obtaining a square deal for
all.
''Since I was II years old I can hard
ly remember a time that I was not
holding office, and the duties of each
have imposed upon me the enforcement
of the law and in enforcing the law
have had generally to count upon the
members Of the police to uphold my
hand
