ClEANlY WOMAN

WHAT PROPOSED INCREASE RATES
 REALLY MEANS
That Ultimate Consumer, Otherwise the Dear Public,
 Will Pay the Freight
Local Business Interests Vitally Interested and Should Bestir Themselves Before It Is Too Late

Every firm and individual in this city either receiving or shipping mer- chandise by freight is vita1ly interest ed in the following notice received to- day by few shippers affiliated with the National Freight Bureau. This bureau is an organization which aud- its freight. receipts and-i in other ways endeavors to see that the shippers receive what they. consider fair treat ment from the railroads of the coun- try.
 GentIemen:-A meeting of the Off cial Classification Committee will be held at 143 Liberty St., New York, Tuesday, Sept 27. 1910. One of the vancing of the minimum charge from 25c to 4Oc. As this will affect numer- ous shipments of yours if this contem- would suggest that you immediately enter protest.
 Respectfully yours,
 NATIONAL FREIGHT BUREAU.
 Under the proposed action of the railroads committee, packages which have been billed at the minimum rate of 25 cents will hereafter be billed at 40 cents, an increase of 60 per cent As possibly a third of the freight shipments received by many concerns is billed at this minimum rate, it can easily be seen how deeply inter- esteG every shipper is in the proposi- ton.
 Prompt action should be taken upon the Suggestion that is offered and let ters of protest should be sent at once to the railroads committee at the ad- dress given above. Bridgeport with it's large shipping interests, will be much affected by the new rate, if established. and the protest from this city should be both vigorous and large.
 Those unfamiliar with railroad rates will be interested to know what the minimum alluded to actually is. Un-. der the practice of all railroads, minimum rate is established, below which no shipment, no matter how small is carried. Even if package weighs less than the smallest amount szhiahzza.--.r tesss is ablisbed 1t must pay this minimum rate. To In crease that rate, as is proposed will take many dollars out of the pockets of Bridgeport merchants and manu- facturers.

pr. Frederick A. Cook, the much sought explorer, is at the Hotel Stachus, Munich, under the name of MT. Coleman and family, or at least he was there on Sept. 2, when Michael B. Ryan, formerly of 51 Hough avenue, a mechanical expert employed by the Automatic Machine Go., now residing in Elm street, left Munich en Poute to Rotterdam to catch the steamer Potsdam, sailing for New York on Sept. 10. There is no question about the identity of the explorer, for Mir Ryan sailed with Cook in 1897 on the Paris, occupying the same stateroom with him. Cook then was going to Belgium to secure the position as surgeon with the Bel gian Antarctic Expedition, a post he obtained.

BODY OF SCHOOL TEACHER MISSING MANY MONTHS
 FOUND BURIED IN CELLAR
San Francisco Doctor and Nurse Are Held By Auth critics Who Are Search
 ing for Another
California Mystery Strik- ingly Similar to Celebrated Crippen Case-How Po-
 lice Learned of Crime
Especial from United Press.)


 San Francisco, Sept. 24.-Dr. James Grant and Miss Marie Messerschn1idt, Nthe nurse under arrest on suspicion of connection with the death of Edith Swan, 26 the Paso. Robles school teacher whose body was found buried under a vacant house here, today re- fused to make any public statement or throw any light on the case. The police declare that the girl was mur- dered, that she was put out of the way to shield some one else and they are searching for an unknown man Of Paso Robles who is alleged to have been a close acquaintance of the girl.
 The case in many respects parallels the famous Crippen case The girl vanished suddenly on April. 20, last shortly before an unknown youth call ed at the boarding house where she stayed and left note for her The contents of the note are said to be known to the police. That the girl s leaye-taking was not contempla ted of her effects were disturbed.
 Ever since her disappearance, friends have been el ,;s searching for her her Gordon recently employed by Dr. Grant as office assistant, notified the police that he believed Miss Swan dead and that her body had been bu- street house. A search was made and late last night the corpse was found.
 The body was wrapped in a sheet and quantities of nitric acid had beep poured over it. The board floor and a portion of the cement floor Of the house had been removed and the corpse buried deep, the flooring be- ing replaced. It was evident from +he condition of the body that it had On iformation furnished by Gordon, the police arrested pr Grant and that Willian saaks. his predecessor in Grants office. had told shtn1s tthat Miss Swan died on April 20 as the result of an operation and that he f(Grant) had helped to bury her. The police have put out a dragnet for Saaks who has not been seen since EGordon was employed by Grant
 Two months ago the house where tthe body was. found was occupied by "a family named Craighton who found an il1-sne1ling trunk in the house. the city chemist examined the trunk reporting that it had evidently been newly painted. The trunk had many red stains in 1t and it is now be- hieved that these were made by human Hblood and that the trunk was used to bear Miss Swans body to the place where 1t was buried
 While the police are sure the body is that of Eva Swan, they admit they have not positively identified it. They Ebase their announcements on the story of Gordon, who told them that was the girls name and accurately de scribed the place where the body was buried. The searchers found Gordon's story correct in detail.
 According to Gordon the girl died as the result of an illegal operation. Gordon also said the physician owed him SIS and that he told his story to the police to "get even.''
 Dr. Grant has been in San Francisco for about a year. The police are in in Boston under. another name.
