We could get mo story from either

nothing had been stolen. Fred vowed
he had locked and bolted the kitchen
door, and that 1t had been opened from

1t was strange experience, that

robbery as motive. If Margery knew
or suspected the reason for the out
rage, she refused to say. AS for Mrs.
Butler, to mention the occurance put
her into hysteria. It was Fred who
put forth the most startling theory
of the lot.
"By George" he said the next morn.

did not like to force Margery's con.
fidence, but I believed that the out.
rage was directly for the purpose OF

papers that had been her fathers.
Mrs. Butler came around enough by
morning, to tell a, semi-connected
story in which she claimed that two

had taken the first opportunity. while

DISEASES CAUSED 81 BASEBALL

"A Philadelphia doctor has discov'
cred that baseball is responsible for
the spread of great many diseases,
says the Minneapolis Journal. In this
he is absolutely right. Fatal diseases,
too. Baseball has been the cause OF the
demise of more grandmothers than any
other affliction known to man. 1t mas
also been a contributing cause to the
decline of veracity in this country; as
when man puts a sign on his once
door saying that he will be PACK IN
ten minutes, when he knows that II
will take him twenty minutes to reach
the grounds. 1t is likewise responsible
for the disappearance of the English
language. What other crimes may be
charged against baseball we do not
know, but these are sure. BY the way:
what do you think are the chances OF
the Cubs this year?

the number had risen to 187, liza. But
while the medium-sized enterprises
have doubled in a generation, the large
concerns employing fifty or more per-
sons, have trebled, increasing from
8, 4S1 in 1882 to 20, O33 in 1907.
"The Capitalization tendency is also
disclosed in figures showing the dis
tribution Of the Industrial population.
In 1882 the small concerns employed
100000, the medium-sized 100000
and the large concerns 100000. In
other words, the small industries in
1882 employed more people than the
medium-sized and large industries COM
bined, but in 1907 the small concerns
showed 100000, the medium-sized
2,700,000 and the large concerns 4,900,-
900. That is to say the large concerns
now employ almost half as many las
| the medium-sized and small CONCERNS
combined.
"The significance of all this in in the
fact that the wage-working class has
increased until now it constitutes
1884 per cent of the German popu.
lation. Taking all occupations to-
gether, the German census of 1907
shows 100000 Independent owners.
100000 salaried officials and 17,809,-
900 wage earners. Expressed in other
figures, each 1000 of industrial popu-
lation is divided into 223 Independent,
fifty-three salaried officials and 724
wage-workers.
GENERALIZATION has possibly gone
forward more smoothly in Germany
than in this country, where antitrust
laws have been enacted but the ten
dency toward larger industrial units
is just as noticeable here as abroad.
Industrial efficiency seems to be pro-
noted by larger industrial units, but
craftsmanship Of every modern coun-
try must reckon seriously with con-
dition where constantly increasing
percentage OF the population has no
proprietary interest in the machinery

PIONEER CITIZEN
Of FL PAsO DIES
Ell. M. Mundy, Long Promin-
ent in Affairs of City
Passes Away.

H NJ Mundy, one OF the pioneers OF
Ell Paso. died at his home. $40 Mesa
avenue. at o'clock Sunday morning.
Although he had been in Ill health for
nearly two years. Mr.. Mundy's death
came as complete shock to the people
of Ell Paso.
He was born in Canaseragas Ale
ghany county. New York. on June g.,
184S. At an early age his parents
moved to Kansas and there his father
engaged in the cattle business. This
gave the son an opportunity to learn
the best business which the west af-
forded and he took advantage of the
opportunity.
In 1877. he drove a small flock Of
sheep from his fathers home in Kansas
10 what is now Ell Pase and since that
time he had made his home here. neIp-
ing to build up and develop what is now
the city of FL raso. The year follow
ing his arrival in Ell Paso he, with his
two brothers,. J and l. l. Mundy-
opened up the first butcher shop in this
city and, having the government con-
tract to supply the soldiers with beef
he started his business career which re-
suited in his being one of Ell Paso's
leading men.
A few years later ne went to Mexico
and TOOK up the cattle business and at
Guada lajara opened up the stock bust
ness, raising many Of the thoroughbred
horses of Mexico. These had ready
market with the aristocracy OF Mexico
and nearly all Of the best horses used
In Mexico City were supplied by Mr.
Mundy.
II Paso. however. remained the home
and headquarters of Mr.. Mundy and
he invested heavily in real estate in
this city In 1883 he and his two
brothers built the first three-story
building which Ell Paso had, and which
is still known as the Mundy block on
Ell Paso street
He was one of the first to advocate
the international dam in New Mexico.
and later was influential in securing the
governments approval of the Elephant
Butte dam in New Mexico.
For the last 20 years Mr.. Mundy had
been interested and active in the real
estate business IN this city. He began
by opening up that portion of the city
which is known as Mundy. Heights. At
first it did not seem possible that tho
hills in Mundy Heights could be made
into a residence district, but Mr.. Mundy
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-05-01


had been reared in rocky country and
knew that blasting would hew down
hills to any level Mundy Heights has,
through Mr. Mundy's 1abors. developed
into one of the most beautiful OF the
resident districts OF Ell Paso.
The deceased is survived by his
widow and six children, Robert s. and
Charles L. Mundy, Of Mexico City; Mrs.
D. P. Stewart. Miss Clara Mundy. Mrs.
c. A Kinkel and William Mundy. of FL
Paso, two brothers, J. J. and L L.
