girl She communicated with Detective
Proll and later with Coroner SAWYER
and District Attorney Boyd of Marin
county. Early in the afternoon she
went to San Rafael and closely exam
ined the garments worn by the de-
ceased and the articles of jewelry.
She was also impressed by the teeth
Of the girls lower jaS. The peculiar
formation of the teeth, which are
pointed like a fox's, struck her.
Coroner Sawyer's conclusion that the
teeth weer those of European peasant
is substantiated by Mrs. Littleield's
story.
The officials of Marin county and De
tective ProlI closely examined the
woman, and her statement was taken
in full by stenographer. Mrs. Little
field then returned to this city.
Since she had given up the parlors
in the Westbank building, Mrs. Little
field had been employed as a manicur-
list in a barber shop at $50 Market
street. She lives at the Hotel STRAIT

Vanished for a Week

She worked in the parlors for a
week and then she dropped out of sight
without king any explanations But
7 never saw a woman who seemed so
obsessed with fear as was this girl
when she returned to the place. She
would not tell what her experiences
might have been during that week nor
make any comment TO satisfy the Curl
osity OF the other girls.
While we knew nothing about the
case some Of the girls thought, judg-
ing by the look Of abject terror on this
German girls face, that she had been
forced into an immoral life and had
escaped from the degradation and was
constantly in fear OF being returned TO
the state of semislavery.
While this girl was at the parlors
she was keeping company with a man
who had an evil look and who seemed
10 have dominated her entirely.
He was a heavy set man. about
feet s inches tall. and was chiefly
noticeable on account of his large. un-
kempt, brown mustache. He was a
rather slovenly dressed fellow and
looked as if he might be a miner.
Sometimes the girl went out to lunch
with him, and at all other times she
brought her lunch. Several times she
met the man when she left the place.
After this girl had been away for
ABOUT 2 week ana lnen came Dack Snc
worked for three days. Then she
dropped out of sight for three weeks.
She came back one day after that, not
10 assume her work. but 10 get the

unRUentS.
When she first came 10 the shop
she had a dark dress on. After she
had been with US a while she appeared
in other clothes. On the day she came
-l.n
had on a blue hemimilitary suit which
fitted her figure tightly. That was the
suit in which she was killed, for on
examining the garment / am satisfied
that the suit now in the coroner's Of
fee is the one the girl wore. She told
US that she had got the suit in the
north. She always dressed neatly but
not extensively.
She used to say to the girls that she
had good clothes and money. She made
her own underwear and she wore the
rib stockings Of the kind found on the
CorpSe

She said that she had come TO San
Francisco from the north by boat.
Later she came in again, with a

paid the $25 tuition fee for the siN
weeks course in the work.

Preventing Forest Fires.

1t is estimated that from 20 to 90
per cent of the destructive forest fires
have been caused by sparks from coal
burning locomotives on railroads run
ming through timbered sections. east,
west, north and south. Forest fires
have been considered a problem diff
cult of solution. II these limitations
as to their origin are correct It would
seem to be the simplest sort of prob
lem to solve. II locomotives on rail-
roads traversing these sections would
burn oil instead Of coal or wood the
hazard would be vastly lessened If not
entirely removed.
This statement may be made on the
basis of what has been done by those
forest railroads that have changed
from coal to oil. On one line in the
Adirondacks oil has been used for ten
years and not a fire has occurred.
Similar instances might be cited in
California, where the Southern Pacific
uses oil on all of it's 1 100 locomotives,
and in other states and sections.
In working out the problem of the
conservation of natural resources the
government will not have completed
its task until 1t does away with the
causes that produce forest fires that
in one year burn over an area of 1885,
900 acres, destroying property worth
s3,5O0,000 and in other years pro-
duclng almost as great losses. The
Northern Pacific, which penetrates so
much of the forest country of the new
west, has undertaken to cooperate
with the Agricultural department to-
ward preventing forest fires and in va
rious states laws on the subject have
been enacted, but still, even this sum-
mer, we have had devastating nres,
showing that the remedy 10 not yet

these forests, no more than private in

The stav.at.Home Vote.

Kansas holds its primaries tomor-
row for the nomination Of candidates
to be ballotted on at the fall election
and so intense is the interest IN the
contests that Governor Stubs has
made a personal plea through the
newspapers ITO the Farmers" to go
to the polls and vote. His appeal lays
upon the farmers a large share of the
burden of good government and inn
plies that their stay-at-home vote has
often initiated against good govern
ment. Therefore he urges them not to
allow even their crops, which they are
busy harvesting, to keep them from
performing this civil duty.
1t is not the finest commentary on
good citizenship in a free country for
such an appeal as this to become neces-
sary, and yet the fact is that too many
of our people neglect their duty as
electors and Governor Stubs takes
the view that this neglect is most COM
mon among the farmers This GER
tainly ought not be the case, especially
in states like Kansas and Nebraska
and other western commonwealths,
where farmers constitute 65 per cent
of the population. But this event
should make an impression on the
farmers mind, no matter in what state
he resides. 1t should remind him that
he is and has been clamorlng for GER
tain legislation, national and local. af-
fecting his interests and complaining
when he failed to get It, and yet the
governor of this great agricultural
state asserts that "the enemies of good
government are hoping to control the
primaries because of the stay-at-home
farmers vote"
The fact is that the stay-at-home on
election day is not confined to any one
class or any one occupation or any one
party. The stay-at-home is determined
in part by circumstances and in part
by disposition. II Is q lamentable
truth that whether in city or on farm
the average voter has to be induced
to go or dragged to the polls by those
who are personally interested. If q
primary or an election were to take
place with no bombsrdment of the
voters through the newspapers and on
the stump and no effort by candidates
and workers to get out the vote, there
would not be corporal's guard ask

PATENT TIEUP FOR TRUSTS.
Significance of Proceedings Against
Bathtub Combine.

Bathtub Combine.
New York Journal of Commerce.
We shall have to wait for more evil
dence before judging of the merit of the
government proceeding at Baltimore
against combination of manufacturers of
enameled ironware, known as the "Bathsub
trust" One would suppose that the gov
eminent attorneys would be careful about
the fasts before bringing suit in the federal
court against the dsfeadants as parties to
an unlawful combination in restraint Of
trade. In their bill IN equity" they charge
that such is the case and say that the COM
bination controls s. per cent Of the out
put Of sanitary 'ehameied ware in the coun-
try, has advanced prices, divides the coun-
try into zones for the distribution of the
business, makes contacts with jobbers to
sell only at fixed prices and refuses to sell
to any one who does not sign such con-
tract 1t is said that the defendants have
attempted to conceal heir unlawful purpose
under the guise Of a licensing arrangement
under a patent assigned to one person.
The chief allegations in the bill are
promptly denied by officers OF the most
prominent companies in the alleged COM
bination and IL the suit is ever brought to
trial something win have to be proved.
These men admit that the concerns and
persons who are made defendants control
IS per cent OF the business and have formed
an association. but they deny that his is
an unlawful combination. that prices have
been advanced or the field OF traffic APP
portioned, or that there 10 any exclusive
contract with dealers. The arrangement Is
not worked under any patent but is formed
for the purpose Of pooling. as It were. the
several patents which are held by different
members, but are used under royalty agree
ments by others than the holders, For
convenience these have been assigned to
one man who leases them to the different
manufacturers according to their require
menss.
But that looks on the face OF It like
quite convenient and effective way OF
maintaining a combination that would have
all the potency Of monopoly and restraint
OF trade. A number OF concerns control
different patented devices and processes OF
use in a common business, be 1t making
sanitary enameled ware or shoe machinery.
Instead Of forming one company to own all
the patents and do the whole business, they
concentrate the patents in the hands OF
one agent for all concerned and fix the
terms upon which the devices ana pro-
cesses may be used, which WIN necessarily
confine their use to the combination and
may TO large extent unity the cost and
the prices of their products The chief
source Of monopoly power In this country
is In patent rights secured absolutely to
the person to whom the patent is granted
or assigned. The only way to prevent the
abuse OF that power 10 to open the use
Of patented articles to competition for a
Just and reasonable royalty to be paid to
the patentee, instead OF letting him keep II
to himself or say just how much 1t shall
be and on what terms IL may be shared
