 |S NOT IDENTIFIED Murder Theory Being Ad- vanced in Unknown
 Mans Death

The body of the unknown white man morning on the tracks of the South Ems ley car line, is still unidentified. Al though several hundred people viewed the body. seeking to place the face in their memory. only one definite eonclu- eion was reached yesterday. That was that the deceased Is not Jim Love of Newcastle, as identified by d stranger about midnight Friday
 Lee Johns, Walter Talley. both paint CTS. and o. E. Stadt yesterday afternoon stated that they were certain that the man had been a mechanic. but could not think of his name
 The features have the stamp of work ing man and give evidence of Greek na- tionality Coroner B. l.. Brasher, with the assistance of Dr. D. C. Donald, held a preliminary investigation of the case yesterday morning at Il o'clock.
 In the certificate filed for the county Coroner Brasher stated that the cause of death was probably street ear having run over the man. but pr, Donald, after examining the remains carefully, was of the opinion that a cut on the right side of the head was made by d knife, thus giving the impression that the man had been attacked before he had been laid on the street car traek, and that in al probability he was unconscious before the car struck him.
 This view of the case was brought be fore the detectives working on the cast yesterday afternoon, and they have bee, Investigating it. Whether or not they have obtained anything to substantiat' this theory has not been made public.
 Coroner Brasher announced that h' would call a jury for Tuesday. wher the official investigation would be helS and a verdict brought in.

CT Tionesta when she docked here to-
 day, the alleged gunmen implicated in the shooting of Herman Rosenthal were not molested blythe police. One
 man was present in the rain and fog to discover them. He was a correspond ent without an umbrella. The corros pondent's line of reasoning seemed
 plausible. If "Gyp the Blood,' dressed
 as a woman, followed the usual tactics
 of women on rainy days she would
 carry her skirts up through the drip
 ping dock approach" he said. If she
 did not" he said, "she would betray 'herelf into being a male.' The cor respondent was instructed to look for big feet under a skirt. The steamer grated into her berth and the passen- gers started picking their way over l the slippery dock, the ladies most beau l tifully carrying through the corres- pondent's line of thought.

state the progresslves come int,

state the progressives come into power.
 .In these matters we do not intend to let our public servants, our rep resentatives, decide for us whether or not we can have the laws necessary to give justice to those who need it. We propose to settle the matter for ourselves and we intend that our pub lie servants shall give us the laws necessary in order to achieve the end we have in view We do not intend to let either executive or legislative officers forbid us to have such laws and, my friends, neither do we intend to let the judges forbid us to have such laws
 Therefore in our platform we have said that we intend to provide more easy and expeditions methods of amending the federal constitution, and that when in any state state court declares that a law passed for social and industrial justice is unconstitutional then after an ample in- teryal for deliberation the people shall have the opportunity themselves to de- eide by vote whether the act is to be- come law notwithstanding such decision.
 For as the platform says, the progressive party demands such construction of the
 power of the courts as shall leave the people themselves the ultimate authority to determine fundamental questions of
 the peoples welfare and public policy. Capitalists Will Clamor
 Those wealthy capitalists whose eyes are blinded by their own fatted pride SC that they can no longer see justice, the great corporation lawyers who served those capitalists, the big politicians who l in close and crooked alliance serve them and are served by them, and the editors of those newspapers whom they contro

 These men who insincerely assail us as attacking the courts are themselves the worst assailants of the courts, for noth- I ing will so harm the courts as to persuade l the average American citizen that they 1 are the bulwarks of privilege. Our pro l posal Is to leave the courts absolutely unaffected in the exercise of their judicia ! functions But where they exercise leg. l islative functions and where they thwar the win of the people expressed through 1 legislative branch of the government, ws | propose to give to the people themselve: after due deliberation the right finally to decide whether in any given case they

 Mr Fitzgerald is convinced that the country is overwhelmingly opposed to the commerce court and will not sus- tain the President. but on the other hand the President Is used to the pub lie not sustaining him or ought to be by this time, and he proposes to hold on. to all he has as long as he can for his time is short.
 In spite of this situation there is a getaway spirit in the House and in the Senate.

1T is improbable that any Of the
