Rafael morgue today and identified as
her daughter the remains Of the woman
found on the slope of Mount Tamalpais,
other members of the family do not
share in the belief
NY mother. since the mystery first
came out in the papers, said her
daughter. Belle, this morning, has been
possessed OF the idea that the dead
woman was my sister, Mrs. Mabel
Putelnon. who has been living in Ne
vada for several years. In the first
place. we have heard from my sister
within the last two months, so this
woman could not be she.
nv sister, who is married to res
taurantman, was in Hawthorne, New,
according to the letter, and she did not
express any intention Of coming to this
city or vicinity
The whole thing seems to me to be
preposterOus but still my mother
thinks that the murdered woman is her
daughter. although her sole means of
Identification is wash drawing of the
supposed woman. seen in a morning
paper.
MY sister does not in any way an
swer the description of the woman
found. She is short and Of rather a
small build. Her hands and feet are
exceptionally small. She never owned

could not have identified her by her

for at least three years. although we
have heard from her at intervals"

Secretaries Elm to Create Har=
m0nious Action Between
Various Departments

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-A plan mu-
tually arranged by the interior and ag-
rlcultural departments, which has been
submitted to the president for approval,
outlines the general policy to be loi-
lowed by the forest service and the
general land office in determining lands
ITO be classed within the national Tor
estS.
The policy, evolved at joint confer
enee of officials of the two departments,
mas been taken under Amusement Dy
the president. 1t aims to create harmo-
nious action between the offices con-
cerned in the administration of the pup
lie domain. AS outlined lin Joint let
ter to the president by Secretaries Will
son and Ballinger, the plan contem-
plates the following lands to be re-
tained within the national forests
Those containing brush or under
brush which protects stream noWs or
checks erosion on the watershed OF
any stream important to irrigation or
to the water supply of any community
and open lands on which trees may be
grown, unless their permanent value
under cultivation is greater than their
value as protective forest.
Lands containing timber or under
growth; cut over lands and areas
densely stocked with young trees which
are more valuable for the production OF
trees than agricultural crops.
Areas containing no timber or under
growth which are located above the
timber line within the forests; small
bodies of lands scattered through the
forests, making elimination impractic-
able, and limited areas which are
necessarily included in the reserve for
a proper administrative boundary.

to order, which appears improbable, it
would be equally difficult to trace the
purchaser In the one remaining clew,
however the watch; are positive ele-
Rnents through which the mystery will
be solved if it ever is The numbers of
the works and of the case of every
watch are recorded by the manufac-
turers and a note of each timepiece in
each separate consignment to retail
ers is kept The watch found on the
skeleton is of type manufactured 20
years ago, and for that reason its iden-
tifcation Will be extremely difficult,
even if the manufacturers have re-
tanned their records. The repair marks,
however, offer the possible and only
tangible solution. Any jeweler who has
repaired the timepiece will undoubtedly
remember his markings. 1t is on this
that we base our hope of a solution.

Jeweiry Only Hope

The publication of the different re-
pair marks on the timepiece will un-
doubtedly attract the attention of jew
elers and will probably result in some
one of them positively identifying the
timepiece. Detective Proll will prose
cute his search among the jewelers. of
the city, and 1 have already communf-
Gated with other points along the coast
asking that the markings be called to
the attention of the jewellers. We hope
TO be successful If this clew fails
there is little hope of ever Identifying
the woman or capturing her murderer.
Detective William r. Proll, who has
been working on the murder mystery
since the skeleton was discovered, ex-
presses the same opinion of the mys-
terry as his superior.
so far as anything we have learned
up to the present time is concerned, the
murder is battling mystery" said
Proll last night. Il place no reliance
in the identifcations which have been
made The watch and its markings
seem to offer the only solution, and we
will follow up that lead"
