Whether these members are able TO

Some members favor making the
life Of the commission ten years, and
still others would go as high as twenty
years.
Most serious of all of the questions
involved is that of giving to the COM

biologists are eudeavoring to discover
to what age the Indian bones that
have just been unearthed in Topange
Canyon, near Santa Monica, should
be ascribed.
The absence of the bones of wo.
men or children is considered proof
that the skeletons are those of war
riors. The foreheads of the skulls
are low and retreating and the cheek
bones high.
The skulls present an abnormal
growth just above and in front of the
ears. This consists of horn headlike
development on each side of the head.
The embryo horns are about three
inches in length and of the same com.
position as the skull.

Warming
Of A Shortage Of Gas In
Columbus Is Issued

Columbus, O., Sept. 7-This city
will have natural gas shortage this
winter If it is as cold as the same sea-
son a year ago, is the report of the
two engineers who were appointed by
City Council some time ago to ascer-
tain facts relative to the supply and
consumption.
The engineers investigated the
plant and wells of the Columbus Gas
and Fuel Supply Company and sub
mitted their report to Council tonight.
1t is pointed out that last winter 49,.
100000 cubic feet were consumed in
this city. This winter they declare
that it will be necessary to furnish
2O,OOO,O00 feet to meet the demands.
The equipment to carry the extra
7,O00,000feet is wholly inadequate the
report says. Several recommenda-
tions are made, mong them that
those who use gas in their furnaces
should have them constructed so that
they can be changed for the use of
coal on short notice.

Don't Break Down

Severe strains on the vital organs,
like strains on machinery, cause
break-downs. You can't over-tax the
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or
nerves without serious danger to your
self. If you are weak or rundown,
or under strain of any kind, take Elec-
trio Bitters, the matchless tonic medi-
cine. Mrs. ]. e. Van de Sande, Of
Kirkland, ILL.,, writes: "That / did
not break down, while enduring a
most severe strain, for three months,
is due wholly to Electric Bitters." Use
them and enjoy health and strength.

At the election Tuesday the Repub.

told OF seeing the accused man stand

the curb firing a revolver at Santorio.
AS the shots rang out crowd as
sembled and Gargano ran, throwing
his revolver away as he did so.
Captured by a mob and almost
lynched, he asserted his innocence,
claiming that another man had killed
Santorio and that az the shooting COM
menced he undertook to protect SAL
torio by firing at his assailant. Two
3S-caliber bullets were found In the
body OF the Murdered man, while Gar
gano insisted his gun was Of 32-cali-

cause his revolver had not been re-
covered by the police.
When the case was called for trial
the last week In June. counsel for
Gargano asked for and secured q con-

innocent, but lacked the proof. Gar
gano could furnish no bond and was
therefore required to spend the sum-

Garganos counsel. sprung a surprise
by Offering In evidence a bullet which
he had dug from the Broadway store

from. Then a woman living In the
neighborhood where the shooting oo
Cured testified that at the time Gar
gano ran from the mob she picked
up a cartridge on the spot where the
accused man stood when he fired his
revolver.
This also was 30, and the pris-

was confirmed.
Other witnesses testified to seeing

Four Thousand Acres Of Land "
Texas State ls Being Planted
with California Pink Beans.

HARLINGEN. Tex. Oct 11.-An In
dustry. the raising of California pink
beans, new to this region. has proved
so profitable that the acreage in the
territory around and about Harrington
for so miles. will produce an enor-
nous crop this fall. Planting Is now
going on and more than 1000 acres
will be devoted TO these beans. Last
season they brought an average net
return OF about SIS per acre. and II
is expected that they Will do equally
as well this season.
The demand for them Ia said TO be
much greater than the available sup
ply and there Is no DANCES of an over
production.
The important thing In regard to
this crop Is that Il Is grown and the
vines are OF the land within 80 days
after the seeds are planted. This
gives ample time for growing one or
two other crops upon the same land.
The beans require comparatively little
cultivation or other attention.
