WALLACE SLAYER {
 IS STILL AT LARGE
OFFICERS HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY AT WORK ON CASE BUT NO DEF SECURED

Although a large number of detec- tives worked on the case all yesterda, and last night, the slayer of Officer w c. Wallace is still at large. It was discovered that the white man who was with Officer Wallace was a per- sonal friend of his from Brookwood. Further than that nothing has been learned.
 diligent search has been instituted for the man but his identity still res mains as deep a mystery as it was at the time of the shooting.
 Detectives have been assigned to tho case by Chief Bodeker with instruc- tions to do nothing else until the ne- gro is captured. They have traced out a number of clues but have not dis covered anything worthy of note.
 Detective Paul Cole and Deputy sher- Tiff Ed Wilson cornered two negroes in a house near Titusville late last night and for a time 1t was thought that one of them was the man want ed Persons who knew the negro were sent for but declared neither was the one sought.
 The reason for Officer Wallace's presence in that part of town has not been found and 1t is believed that thia mystery will not be solved until tho identity of the white companion of Wallace Is discovered.
 Coroner Brasher has continued the investigation into the killing until Satv urday morning at 10 o'clock.
 The body of w. c. Wallace, the of icer who was killed. was sent to Briarfeld for burial yesterday after- noon by the Green Undertaking cont pany. two negroes arrested Tuesday in con nection with the shooting, are still be- ing held in the city jail awaiting de- velopments.

Martin Goldstein
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call


SANTA CRUZ, June 23.-Martin Cold
stein of San. Francisco died today from
heart disease as the result of the
nervous shock received in an auto acci-
dent in the Big Tree road last night,
his death occurring at A o'clock this
morning at the Mission Hill sanitarium.
Goldstein was connected with the
California messenger service and came
here Tuesday evening in charge of hfs
motor truck, which carried the Carter
dirigible balloon from San Jose
Last evening with E. HI. Green, who
was running the truck for him, he
started for the big trees. Shortly after
he had passed the lime kilns at Rincon,
near tunnel No. 6, they decided to re-
turn to this city.
In making the turn it was necessary
to back a little over the embankment,
which he did, the rear of the truck
being low enough for it go under the
barbed wire fence at the edge of the
road.
At this instant one of the chains of
the steering gear broke GoIdstein
was standing on the truck behind the
seat and was wedged between the seat
and the barbed wire fence, which tore
the flesh of both legs terribly He was
brought here in a passing auto in an
unconscious state and died before his
wife, who was telephoned for, could
arrive.
1t is believed intense suffering ag-
gravated his heart complaint and he
never rallied.

MURDERSUSPECTED
IN WILCOX CASE
San Rafael Authorities Believe
Ex=C0nvict and War Veteran
Was Slain and Robbed
May Have Been Killed by One
of Former San Quentin
Prisoners
[Speeiol Dispaich to The Call

lSpccIdl Dispatch to ne S0uJ
SAN RAFAEL, June 25.-Indications
of a, carefully planned murder sur
round the death of Charles Bedford
Wilcox, the civil war veteran, former
convict and contractor who was found
dead in a local lodging house yester-
day from the effects of carbolic acid
poisoning A number of peculiar fea-
lures connected with the case have
caused the suicide theory to be put
aside until further Investigations are
made
The fact that the poison was mixed
with whisky first awakened the sus-
picions of the authorities. Gradually
one clew after another was discovered
until it is now believed that wilcox
was murdered and robbed 1t is
thought that the aged man had been
drinking too freely and disclosed the
fact that he had in the neighborhood
of $50 on his person.
TOOK FATAL DRINK
1t is the theory of the authorities
that a man who knew him and also
the amount of money which he had
volunteered to put him to bed. This
man, the police say led him UP the
W
the lodging house and into the apart
ment which Wilcox had engaged sew
eral days before
After aiding Wilcox to undress the
murderer is believed to have placed
the flask containing whisky and car
bolic acid beside him, telling Wilcox
that whisky was there if he wanted
a drink. Then the slayer, it is sur
missed, waited in an adjoining room for
Wilcox to take the fatal drink, after
which he robbed him and escaped.
Albert Barrow well known local
liquor dealer, who leases the building
and sometimes sleeps there, was absent
at Boyes Springs in Sonoma county.
There are no other occupants.
The officials have been unable to
learn where the flask and its contents
came FROM a bottle half filled with
carbolic acid was found at the home
of the dead man, but apparently had
not been disturbed for many weeks.
Local druggists have no record of
having sold Wilcox the deadly drug.
FORMER CONVICT SOUGHT
Robbery is looked upon as the most
probable motive for the crime, but it
is possible that the dead contractor
had an enemy among certain former
convicts who knew him while he was
serving a term at San Quentin for
murder. There he was head trusty
and had much power over the other
prisoners. After he was released and
resumed his. contracting business Will
cox was frequently annoyed BY a for
.mer convict who made it a point to
tell business friends that Wilcox had
been a convict and assistant hangman.
This former convict hated Wilcox. and
Wilcox hated him. The authorities
are searching for this man.
Another flaw in the theory of suicide
is the fact that Wilcox had an intense
dread of self-destruction. AT San
Quentin he prevented many a prisoner
from committing suicide. and fre-
quently said that he would rather
suffer untold agony than take his own
life. Sheriff Taylor and Coroner r. E.
Sawyer both are making a thorough
investigation of the case.

vance in prices during the last decade" ="
Few figures are available to indicate
what had been the effect of the recent
tariff revision.
The majority report says there are
many industrial combinations that are
not trusts in the sense of being or
ganized to control prices in restraint
Of trade. but by manufacturing or con-
trolling a percentage of the output they
are able to exercise some control over
prices. The committee report says:
The prices of many of the trust pro-
duced commodities have not advanced
as rapidly as have other commodities.
In some cases where produced COM
modities have advanced greatly the ad-
vance appears to be due largely to other
causes, such as short supply
It was found that labor unions had
not been a serious factor in contrib
uting toward advancing prices.
