MURDER IS STILL
UNSOLVED

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 49,
Little progress is made today by
the police in their efforts to clear
up the mystery surrounding the
murder Of Harry G. Barr, owner
of hotel omnibus service. Rob-
berry plainly was not the motive,
the dead mans watch and money
not having been taken. The po-
lice are working on theory that
Barr was killed by some enemy.
The supposed infatuation of an
unknown woman for Barr gives
rise to the belief that she may
have been the cause of the crime.
It Is thought that Barr was
murdered in the city and his body
taken to death Curve" a lonely
spot on the Linnton road near
Portland, where 1t was found.
The dead mans hair was singed,
showing the revolver with which
he was killed must have been
held close to his head by some
son in the seat behind him.
The police located the woman
who, with the travelling men,
made up the party taken by Barr
in his machine to 1.-THE Hut"
roadhouse near Portland, few
hours before he was killed.

C|1YbANKA|RED
At MEETING
A municipal bank

N AhuhiSipol pohh.
Commissioner Freeland has
been thinking about such a prop
osition for some time. Spokane
announced several months ago it
intended to have one and would
take in the deposits of all the la
Dor organizations in that city as a
nucleus for deposits.
The city of Tacoma has now en-
tered On a regular period of levy
ing taxes for sinking fund. 1t
will get at least 100000 a year
for this purpose. But now the
city is in no position to utilize
this money to the best advantage.
IL it had a municipal bank as a
part of the city through which
1t could deal in securities it could
greatly increase the earnings of
the sinking fund.
Mayor Seymour expects to work
with the coming legislature to get
authority for the city to buy it's
own Improvement bonds. Then
VI will be possible to reduce the
interest on these bonds from Z
to 6 per cent. The city will also
buy up certificates on delinquent
properties and make the 20 per
cent bonus.
1t Is believed this would be the
forerunner of a regular municipal
hank which would serve as a
bI okerage establishment for hand
ling all city securities.

Increasing Railway Returns.

Current reports of the revival
of railroad traffic are verified by
the official returns for the month
of July compiled by the Bureau
of Railroad Economics from re-
ports to the Interstate Commerce
Commission covering over go, 600
! miles. about 80 per cent of the
steam railway mileage of the
country.
The increases in net revenue
were not, however, universal.
For the Eastern group Of rail-
ways the increase over July, 1911,
was 1913 per cent, or $2.01 per
mile of line per day; for the
Western group 1874 per cent, or
S1.29 per mile of line per day.
The net revenue of the Southern
group decreased 5.5 per cent, or
Al cents per mile Of line per day.
Taking the average per mile of
line for the month for the coun-
try as a whole, total operating
revenues increased 500 or 81
per cent; operating expenses
increased $53 or rs pei
cent; while net operating re-
venue increased $3.50 or II per
cent. Taxes amounted to S45
per mile of line, an Increase of
s8.5 per cent.
The aggregate of all net oper-
ating reyenu for the month was
$50, LOT, TAB, an aggregate in
crease of So. O37, 016. This net
operating revenue per mile of
line for the seven months of the
calendar year continues less than
for the corresponding seven
months Of 1911. Net operating
revenue is the amount available
for taxes, rentals, interest on
bonds, appropriations for better
ments and dividends.
