MINE CONGRESS-
Is IN SESSION.
ALASKAN COAL SITUATION DIS
cUssED AT OPENING
SESSION.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-A governmental
commission or special congressional
committee to make a thorough investi-
cation OF Alaskan conditions was
urged by John Dern of Salt Lake City,
president of the American Mining Con-
gress, today. These men should not
bolster up the pet views of any set Of
men," he said, "but they should have
the sole purpose Of gathering informa-
tion 30 the United States could act in
telligently in framing. an Alaskan
policy"
"In order to eliminate mining frauds
and give the investor a square deal, he
thought the eastern coal miners
should ally themselves more heartily
with the western metal miners. In
this union, he urged, would be found
the strength to carry out the reforms,
the congress has undertaken.
''The true status of the Alaskan sit.
uation seems hard to find out The
conflicting statements received are
disconcerting to man who is trying
to keep himself in a judicial frame Of
mind. What we need more than any
thing else, Is accurate, reliable informa-
tion. am convinced the United States
government will do justice in Alaska
as soon as 1t has indisputable data
about actual conditions" Mr.. Dean
suggested the appointment OF a special
commission as an appropriate step to
acquire this information.
v Horace J. Stevens of Houghton,
Mich, spoke on "The Copper In.
dustry."
The relationship OF congress to the
mining industry was also considered.
John Hays Hammond submitted re-
port from the committee on federal
legislation and Representative Martin
D. Foster, chairman Of mines and min.
ing committee, of the house, spoke.

SLOW PROGRESS
INSECuRINC JURY.
DIFFICULTY COURT Is WORKING
UNDER APPARENT AS TALES
MEN ARE ouIZzED.

Los Angeles. Cal, Oct. 25.-Ehcrti
to obtain talesmen satisfactory to bott
sides in the case Of James B. Nc
Namara, indicted for murder in con
nection with the explosion of the
Times building here, continues today
under the multifarious customs o1
counsel.
The discovery yesterday Of a tales
man to be called to the jury box fol
examination, actually referred to hif
possibility OF jury service on the case
while talking with friends. has illus
trated in another way the difficulty
that is being experienced In court
daily in securing men who have kept
their minds free from discussing the
Times disaster.
3 B. w. Clark, talesman, casually
mentioned to Harry Chandler, vice
president Of the company publishing
the Times, that he was drawn for
jury duty. Chandler expressed the
hope that Clark would qualify, Clark
was summarily excused by the court
from serving and warning was given
other veniremen to maintain abso.
lutte silence on the subject involved,
lest they too be placed in confinement,
as are the talesmen under examina-
uon.
The defense took note Of Clark's
statement that his son had convinced
him Of how gas had destroyed the
Times building, alleging that he
smelled gas block from the Times
building. Young Clark will probably
be summoned as witness.
It was stated definitely that fourteen
men would hear the Mcnamara case
as jurors. This is possible under Cali
fornia laws, which provide, in addition
to the regular jury, that two additional
jurors may be qualified In cases where
the trial is likely to be of great i'm
portance and duration. These two
must be kept with the other twelve,
having equal opportunities to hear the
evidence, and in case any regular
juror Is disqualified through illness or
death, the name of one OF the two
extra jurors Is to be drawn from q
box and he, thereupon, replaces the
disabled one.
When court convened at 1910
o'clock, Attorney Darrow said he
wished to ask Talesman Mullen an
other question and the court permit
ted 1t.
The question enticed from Mullen
that while at work in the city hall this
year he discussed the Mcnamara case
with Fred Kammerer. He denied that
he told Kammerer that II he was on

but admitted he believed the defend

Washington, D. c., Oct, 25.-The

Negro Janltor Released.

The police last night having released
Jefferson Haynes, the negro janitor Of
the building in which DR.. Knabe lived,
after satisfying themselves he could
not tell anything Of the circumstances
Of her death, search was begun today
tor hidden motive for her murder.
Handsome, and Of brilliant intellectual
attainment as she was, the police after
nights work were unable to discover
that she had either an enemy or an
Intimate male friend. The theory Of
suicide seems untenable because the
knife with which Dr.. Knabe was killed
was not found, and the coroner felt
assured that the heavy slash that al
most severed her head was struck as
she lay in bed. There was no trail
ST blood on the floor
The coroner having found no evi-
dence OF a personal assault having
been committed, and there being no
indications in the apartment Of rob-
hers. the police sought to find secret
places In DR.. Knabe's life. They be-
iieved the murder, for SO it appeared
today. was done by q person who en-
tered the door, not window, of the
apartment, did his work and departed

Catherine McP Pherson, Who
Discovered Murder Of DR..
Knabe, Asked Why She
Delayed Calling Police.
NO NEW CLUES ARE
FOUND IN THE CASE
Negro Janitor Held as Sus-
pect When Woman Ply
sician is Found Slain, Re-
leased; Case a Mystery.

indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 25.-Detec
tives today took to police headquarters
for examination Augusta Knabe
cousin, and Catherine Mcpherson
assistant to DR.. Helen Knabe, former
state bacteriologist, who was found
dead with her throat slashed in her
apartment early yesterday.
Why there was delay Of over an
hour in summoning the police after
Dr.. Knabe's body was found by Miss
Mcpherson was question put to the
two women. After Miss Mcpherson
entered DR.. Knabe's flat and saw her
body, with gaping wound in the
throat, she stated she first called by
telephone Augusta Knabe from her
home in "a distant part OF the city.
Z The dead woman, Miss Mcpherson
said, was lying on the bed on her back,
without covering. Her night dress was
Madded under her arms. Miss Nc
Pherson added that she pulled the
night dress down over DR.. Knabe's
body before the arrival of physicians,
whom she summoned before the police
were notified. This action, the detec.
stiyes say would explain the presence OF
blood on DR.. KnRbe's LETT leg, for the
night dress was soaked with blood as
I 1t lay crumpled under her chin. Ne
Miss Mcpherson and Miss Knabe
we're with the body Of DR.. Knabe for
nearly an hour before the arrival Of
DR.. Ernest Reyer, who was the first OF
DR.. Knabe's other friends to enter the
apartment. Miss McPheson denied
emphatically, as did Miss Knabe, that
she saw knife that might have been
use1 in killing the physician.
The detectives today turned to in
vestigation of a theory that DR.. Knabe
may have ended her own life, and that
some of the group Of her friends
gathered in the fiat before the police
inquiry was under way may have
sought to take away evidence, Of sui
eide. A number of persons. 1t was
said, would be interrogated along this
line Of speculation.
That It should be discovered that
any scandal attached to the death Of
DR.. Knabe would be inconsistent with
her life, 1t is pointed out today. She
lived alone in the comfortable
furnished apartment in which she was
killed, because she devoted all her
spare time to study and experimenta-
tions. She was member of the
Young Women's Christian association,
and frequently lectured to its mem
bership and to the students OF the high
schools on social hygiene, attempting
to impress upon them the necessity Of
purity in all social relations.
She was deeply interested in physi-
cal and mental culture among women,
and today was to have taken an ex-
animation as an instructor in the North
American Gymnastic Union at it's
normal school at the German house in
this city.

in Buffalo Laboratory Said
to be Successful-$65,OO 900 For
Hospital.

Albany, N z, Jan. 20-After ten
wears of research in laboratory main
tanned in Buffalo by State funds, DR..
Harvey r. Gaylord is ready to sup
ply serum which has been discover
ed upon persons who are victims of
cancer Heretofore nearly all the ex-
perfments under DR.. Gaylord's super
vision have been performed on rats,
mice and rabbits.
1t is declared that one person has
been entirely cured of the disease as
a result Of treatment by the 1abora-
tory doctors and it is planned now to
make the treatment general for all
who volunteer to put themselves I'M
der the supervision Of the experiment
tiers.
Senator LOOMS has introduced
bill appropriating $4,000 for the erec-
ton of a hospital adjoining the labor
atory in Buffalo. The land for the
building is to be donated to the State,
and the bill names as trustees of the
Institution DR.. Roswell w. Park, Will
liam H. Gratwick, and DR.. Chas. Cary
Of Buffalo, John 6. Milburn and Chas.
S. Fairchi1d of New, York and Fred
erick S. Stevens of Attica.
The number of deaths in this State
from cancer is between, 5000 and 1000
a year, and DR.. Gaylord in his latest
report expresses the belief that this
number will be largely reduced If the
State gives the necessary financial
support for the new institution.

SAMMlS RETURNS FROM
TRIP TO GREATER new YORK

James u Sammis, local manager OF
the Monaton Realty Investing Corpo-
ration, of New York, N. Y, who re-
turned few days ago after a visit to
New York, talked interestingly with
a Farmer reporter to-day on the re-
markable growth of Greater New
York City real estate. The Mona
ton deals in New York city income
paying property. and since Mr.. Sam
mis- assumed charge of the Bridge
become well informed on the condi-
ton of property in New York's me-
tropolis.
''People outside of New York do
not realize what is being done there
in the real estate world said Mr..
the Monaton's latest purchase up In
Washington Heights section. We took
title to that property in the after
noon, and the next day>a reliable firm
offered price considerably in adj
vance of what we paid. Did we take
it?' smilingly asked Mr.. Sanmis. Il
guess not. Why, five years from now
that property will be worth much
more than it is now, and it is bring
ing us in a good income meanwhile.
We have several other large apart
ments in the same section, all pur-
chased at reasonable prices, and all
situated in new, growing, and i'm
proving section of the city where val
ues are destined to increase"
But let's jump across the bridge
to BROOKLYN" continued Mr.. Sammis,
where we made our most recent pur-
chase last week when we took over
twelve apartments from the Thorn
ton Apartment Company, aggregat-
ing in present value about 100000.
These apartments are, in what Is
known as the Eastern Parkway sec
ton of Brooklyn. This property is
only three blocks from the proposed
subway extension from New York
city. When the subway is Installed,
which will be in the course of a few
years, that property will take stu
pendous jump in, value"
LAS to Brooklyn generally" said
Mr.. Sammis, Its a dream city. Not
in the history of the United States
has property increased so rapidly In
value as that in Brooklyn. The last
United States census showed the pop
ulation of Brooklyn in the last ten
years increased more than the total
population of the City of Pittsburg.
Our business is conducted along most
conservative lines. We have some
of the safest investors in Bridgeport
holding our certificates Business
here has grown to such an extent that
it was necessary for us to give up
our old offices in the Meigs Building
for a larger suite in the Security
