NO CERTAINTY THAT
BODY is EVA SWANS

UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRz.I


San Francisco, Sept. 24.-Al-
though the police still hold to the
theory that the body found in tho
basement of the Eureka-street house
is that of Eva Swan, former school
teacher at Paso Robles and recently
employed as stenographer in San
Francisco, the Identification was
shaken this afternoon by Mrs. Har-
ry Weir. Mrs. Weir who keeps the
rooming-house at which Eva Swan
lived, believes that the detectives
are mistaken. She bases her belief
on the clothing found In the trunk
in the basement of the house where
the body was discovered.
The wisps of hair found in the
trunk beneath the concrete CORES
pond with the color OF Miss Swans
hair, Mrs. Weir declares and the COL
or of the hair on the head of the
girl, though stained from the acid
poured over it after DEATH is dissim-
liar.
The report goes on to say that the
internal organs ARE decayed. Both
legs are sawed through near the an
kle, the partial amputation was
probably performed after death, the
physicians think.
The report does not give the prob
able cause of death. There is no
mention made of any operation hav-
ing been performed.

Ben Gordon was questioned again
by the police during the morning.
His statement was taken down by
stenographers.
Detectives today say that they
have discovered a witness who saw
Miss Swan return to the Office of DR..
Grant on the day of her disappear
ance. The name Of the witness has
not been given out.
The witnesses asked to identify
the body of the girl were shown jew
elry which was found in the posses
sion of DR.. Grant. Among the arti-
cles shown were rings from which

Clothing found in the trunk taken
from the Eureka-street house were
also given these persons for identi-
fication. A worn skirt and a num-
ber of underskirts, torn and solled,
were found in the trunk. Homer
Hatch telegraphed the detectives to-
day that he would come at once to
San Francisco and help them as
much as possible in clearing up the
mystery of the girls death Hatch
is a graduate of the Leland Stanford
university. He has known Miss
Swan since both were students at
the Paso Robles high school and
they have long been close friends.
After the girls disappearance, the
police say, Hatch helped them in the
search for her.

to make the orders big enough to be attractive to wholesalers. It appealed to the membership of the association because it enabled them to get around the retailers profit, and to live more comfortably upon their salaries Also, it en- abled them to play better the universal Wash ington game whereby every $900 clerk tries to live on the scale affected by the $l,2OO clerk, every $1 POO clerk tries to keep up appearances with the $1 300 clerk, and so onu up.
 This was three years ago, and for time the scheme worked beautifully. Then it struck a rock and foundered. The other day some of the clerks who had benefited by it told con- gressional Investigating committee how 1t hap pened that the scheme came to grief.
 Anybody can guess what happened. 1t was an inevitable outcome of it, as everybody will see who knows how far the business of combina- tion has gone among those who supply the peo- pIe with the necessaries of life. The retailers, when they found how far the thing had gone, took it up, pulled its nose, slapped its face, and then tore off one of its legs and beat it to death
 Their method was simplicity itself. They found out who the wholesalers were that were selling goods to the association, and then their various organizations notified the wholesalers that if they did not stop it, they would be boy cotted. Oh, they didn't put it quite so badly as that, of course. They use language much more parliamentary than "boycott." But that IS what it came to.
 The first obstacle came from the bakers. They wouldn't sell bread to the association even over their counters because the grocers' association had threatened to stop trading with them unless they ceased selling to the clerks One baker braved the grocers for awhile, but he gave in when his business had been cut in two by the grocers' boycott. It was the same with most of the others, except that the meat trust, the sugar trust and the cracker trust refused to let the smaller combinations of tradesmen interfere with their business; but the association couldn I live on meat crackers and sugar, so it quit
 Clearly, everybody can combine but the con sumer He mustn't.

least pretense of doing so. Members of con- gress voted on the various schedues-were forced to do it by the republican leaders-with- out having the slightest idea of what the for eign cost of production of the articles affected really was.
 Yet the figures as to the cost of production were attainable. Here they are as to cotton productions:
 The census of 1905 shows that the wage of the average employe in the cotton manufacturing industry in the United States is $304 year. $2533 a month, $5.S5 a week, 97 cents a day This astonishingly low average is due to the large number of children and women, and for |eigners, on the payrolls.
 In England (from whence comes the greatest competition to our manufacturers of cotton) the annual wage of the average employe is $2332S monthly wage $19.45; weekly wage, $4 AS; daily wage "A cents. These figures are from the official report of the British Board of Trade, based on the census of 1906. The cost of living IS so much cheaper in Great Britain that, according to former United States Com missioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright the Brit ish cotton mill empoye can purchase more of the necessaries of life with his daily wage of "A cents than the American mill worker with his 97 cents.
 The average per cent of duty fixed by the Payne Aldrich- Shoot law is in excess of 40 per cent. An attempt to justify this amount of pro lection by the actual difference in the cost of production at home and abroad would be ridicu- lous. Granting that foreign goods have no cost whatever the rates in the present tariff law on cotton goods would still be excessive. But the republican platform also provided for "a reasonable profit to American industries. J This brings up the query "Must the American cotton manufacturers have the present ex- cessive protection on cotton goods to meet com petition?"
 The amount of profit enjoyed by the benef- caries of the cotton schedule is the best answer l to this question.
 | Here are few of multitude of similar il- lustrations which could be given: The Bates Manufacturing company, of Lew iston, Me-, capitalized at $1, 100000, with sur plus of $1,100,000, had net earnings in 1907 amounting to 41.97 per cent and declared divi- dend of 35 per cent

A COMBINATION THAT FAILED

The comblnaton as measure of self -prOtec- tion and mutual profit appears to be not for the consumer. Everybody who profits by the con- sumer's humble desire to live can combine, and within their combinations can fix prices that yield handsome profits even if they do fay the consumer to his bare bones; but if the consumer tries to gain for himself the benefit of combina- tion, all the powers of business bounce upon his luckless head and proceed to beat his brains out
 For instance, there is the story of the gov ernment clerks at Washington who formed CO., operative association to buy food at wholesale and sell it to their members at cost Pretty scheme it was, too. There were enough clerks

REAL ESTATE AS AN INVESTMENT

Wall street by keeping the stock market in a state of perious uncertainty with view of con vincing congress and the courts that they ought to go light on business regulation, is in one way building better for the country than it knows.
 Whatever effect the experiences of the past month or so-and they are but repetitions of frequent occurrences in the market-may have upon the gamber-speculator they are pretty certain to show the conservative investor that stocks are dangerous things to stake his money upon. Stocks are too high today, and too low tomorrow. Almost never do they reach and maintain for any appreciable period the level of their real values. If they did that, Wall street would be put out of business in a month; so Wall street takes pains to see that they don't do it. To keep the game going, Wall street pushes stocks up to attract the occasional gambler, and sells them to him at the top Then it pounds stocks down and scares him out at the bottom. Next it buys his stocks back from him for less than they are worth, pushes them up again and sells them back to him for more than they are worth and so it goes, year in and year out. The farmer and the gambler both lose in this game for the percentage in favor of the house is about hundred to one.
 Now that investors have had their lesson in the hazardous nature of stock gambling, Wall
 
 plenty of money in the country and it is not go- ing to remain idle. It's owners are going to look about for new and safer outlets for their invest ments, and there isn't much doubt about what the new outlet is going to be-it will be real es- tate.
 After perilous and heart-breaking experi- ence with stocks, there is something very attrac- tive about good, substantial dirt It isn't like stock certificates, which are "worth' a lot of money today, lot less tomorrow, and maybe good for nothing the next day It is there, and it stays there; you can go and stand upon it and see that it is good, and that it is yours. Wall street can't juggle it out of your posses sion. Wall street can't make that apple of in- vestment turn to ashes in your hands.
 And when capital, sobered and chastened by it's bitter Wall street experiences, turns to the land for investment, where is it going to find a more certainly profitable outlet than in Globe? ? Globe is growing steadily, and presently it will be growing as steadily, but much more rapidly. With its growth the values of its real estate now very low compared with similar property elsewhere, must advance Nowhere in the coun- try IS wise investment in real estate more cer- tain to yield large profits than in Globe.
 This is the reason the Silver Belt has sug- gested to prospective home builders that they buy their home sites now. Never again will they be so cheap. Never again will it be possi- be to buy home site without paying much more for it or being contented with much less desirable location Buy your home site now and avoid the rush of investors who are about to fly from the perils and chcaneries of Wall street.

In The Halls of Congress
BY TAV.
Special Washington Correspondence.


 sNothing was expressly said in the platform that this revision was to be a downward revi- sion."
 This declaration, made by President Taft in his recent speech before the New York Repub- lican club reopens the much-mooted question:: Did the republican party live up to its campaign promises in revising the tariff?
 Democrats accept the challenge with pleasure, and will be pleased to make the issue raised by President Taft the leading one in the approach ing congressional campaigns The use of black board and chalk may be one of the methods re- sorted to by stump speakers to illustrate in striking and conclusive manner whether the Payne Aldrich- Shoot bill is a fulfment of Taft and the republican platform promises. After giving arithmetical demonstrations, democratic orators may further strengthen their views by reading from speeches made by such republicans as La Toilette of Wisconsin, Beveridge of Indi ana, Clapp of Minnesota, Cummins and Deliver of Iowa and others. They declared again and again that the tariff was NOT being revised in accordance with the promise made in the repub lican platform.
 Mark the difference in these two utterances of Mir. Taft:
 Before election: Cat Milwaukee, Wis, Sep tember "A, 19OS) 'It is my judgment that a revision of the tariff in accordance with the pledge of the republican platform will be, on the whole, a substantial REVISION DOWN WARD"
 After election Cat New York, February 12, 1910) "Nothing was expressly said in the plat form that this revision was to be downward re vision!''
 What the republican National platform prom ised was tariff revision on the basis of equal ization of ''the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American industries"
 Was the tariff revised on this basis? Taking woolens to begin with President Taft himself admits failure He said in his New York speech, ''The one substantial defect in compliance with the promise of the platform was the failure to reduce woolens."
 Wooens are important tOo particularly to the poor Under the head of woolens come blankets, mems, children's and women's under wear; cloth from which is made mems and wo- mems suits hosiery, and great many other tex tile products which are necessaries of life.
 Not what about the cotton schedule? Was the tariff on cottons revised on the basis of equaliza- tion of "the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad?" How could 1t have been when congress was not permitted to know what the cost of production at home and abroad was?.
 Aldrich and Payne did not apply the princi- ple of equalization of the difference in cost of production at home and abroad, or make the

Heels to Match Walk.

"In every theater audience there are
critical persons who are prolific with
suggestions for making the play more
realistic" said stage manager.
'Some of these hints are worth con-
sidering too. In one play that was
staged not long ago the biggest hit
was made by character actress who
had to wear down-at.theh shoes.
On the third day of the New York
run received letter from shoemak-
er. who called my attention to the fact
that the womnn's gait and her shoes
did not match, Her heels were run
down on the outside. whereas the walk
she assumed ON the Stage must inevi-
tably cause her shoes to run over ON
the inside. That was point that
had escaped the notice of everybody
in the company. Upon looking into
the matter we found plenty of evil
dence 10 uphold our critic. and we se-

Pull together, brethren. We are
all here for the same purpose. Then,
live and let live. The best way to
build up town is for every man to
pull together and not strive to rend
and tear down. All the residents of
town are partners, not opponents.
In all likelihood, the more business
done by your rival, the more you will
do. Every merchant who treats his
customers honestly and fairly will
get his share, and the more business
than can be secured by a united eff
fort, the better it will be for all.
There never was time when Per-
rysburg people could better afford to
remember these facts than at the
present time.

Lyceum Theatre
THAT BEAUTY CHORUS.

Boyle Woodfolk, who offers the
real musical comedy, "a Winning
Miss" with Max Bloom in the lead
ing role, at the Lyceum, Toledo, four
days commencing Sunday matinee,
Sept. 25, advertises and claims the
most beautiful chorus on the stage.
That is quite a broad assertion and
the majority of theatregoers will
have their doubts about the truth Of
it; in fact, the management of the
Lyceum theatre expressed their
doubts of the claim and inquired Of
Mr.. Voolfolk how he could prove
the assertion. In replying Mr.. Wood
folk said: "Of course, beauty is
merely matter of taste, so l am
not expressing my own opinion but
that of the masses. When / tried
out "A Winning Miss last spring for
short tour, l made it a point not

gagged only girls that were admired

ceum at Toledo and is heralded as
one of the largest companies to play
