The Manufactures

Behind every trademark that
really amounts to anything
there are brains, energy, ambi-

some article of worth that will
deserve and win universal ap-
proval,
After a manufacturer has
spent a great many years in
organizing his business and per-
fecting his produce his name
and his trademark amount to
something worth while, or else
he has toiled in vain. The
name or trademark alone of
many a big concern is worth
thousands and hundreds of
thousands Of dollars. 1t is
often called goodwill. It might
be called reputation.
The trademark is the direct
Ing finger, pointing the way to
articles Of quality and depend
ability.
Manufacturers Of trademark
ed articles are no longer satis-
fed to advertise their trade-
mark only. They are coming
to understand that they must
also advertise the place where
their goods may be purchased.
That is why you see trade
marked articles advertised
more and more in daily news
papers, because the newspaper
is the chief advertising medium
for creating actual demand up
on the retailer.

REAL MELODRAMA
Italian GirPS Admirer Attempts
Abduction.
Police Battle Results in Cap
ture After Chase.

Chicago, June 2.-Following a chase
in which a half dozen shots were fired,
three Italians today were arrested af-
ter an attempt to kidnap Angelina di
Maggie, 20 years old, in an automobile.
They gave their names as Phillip Tor
toricio, who the police say, planned the
kidnapping in order to marry the girl;
Dominick Albamonte and Frank De
Mariq.
Miss di Maggie said Tortoricio had
been forcing his attentions on her for
five months and that she rejected him
finally last night. His plans to kidnap
her were betrayed to the police by an
enemy of his and a trap was set for
the wOuld-be abductors.
This morning detectives followed the
girl when she left home for work.
They had not gone a block before they
saw three men leap from an automo-
bile, seize her and drag her into the
machine. The detectives rescued her
and after chasing the men half a mile,
captured them.
This is the third attempt in a year
in the same locality to kidnap a girl
with a view of frightening her into
marriage.

MAY LOOM BIG
Expulsion of Koreans Fore
runner of Complications.
Congress May Have to Pay
Japan for Damage Done.

Washington, June 27-Just a small
incident in itself. but very disturbing
nevertheless is the preliminary official
estimate of the affair at Hemet Calf,
yesterday involving the forcibIe ex-
pulsion from the community of a band
of Korean fruit pickers. 1t is expected
that the incident will be the subject of
future representations by the Japanese
amba aSsador as soon as he has been ad-
vised by the acting Japanese consul
general at San Francisco of all the
facts. Then it will be incumbent upon
Secretary Bryan to transmit any COM
plaint to Governor Johnson with an
intimatio that the president relies up
on him to see that justice is done to
aliens within the United States under
terms of existing treaties.
Beyond that, it is scarcely possible
for the national government at this
stage at least, although later it may
become necessary to ask congress to
indemnify the Koreans who have suf-
fered any financial loss by the hostile
actions of the community at Hemet.
Secretary Bryan said today that the
state department would make an i'm
mediate investigation for itself of the
incident. The only information thus far
received was in the press dispatches.
Town Officials Worried.
Hemet, Calf, June 27.-Officials of
probable outcome of the incident

apricot pickers from Riverside were
driven out of town by white field la

assured him the city could not be held
responsible. The Asiatics were i'm
ported, it is said by fruit growers be-
cause they offered fruit at from two

laborers demand. The fruit growers
asserted also that there was a scare
ity of white workmen. This was de-
MED by white laborers.
The matter has not as yet been Of
ficially called to the attention of the

Up Matter With Canada.
Offense Not ExtraditabIe, but
May Find Loop Hole.

Washington, June 27.-The federal
government is considering quick
measures to have Canada deport Jack
johnson under a years sentence for
violation of the white slave law. Off
Gals of the department of justice to-
day began an investigation of the ne
gro's presence in Montreal and gave
particular attention to the statement
of Charles F. Dewoody, special agent
at Chicago that. although the offense
of which Johnson was convicted is not
extraditable. it is the custom of the
Canadian immigration authorities to
expel aliens convicted of crime.
Officials confirmed Mr.. Dewoody's
statement that the offense is not ex-
traditable, and pointed out that when
the case was before the supreme
court on the question Of bail the gov
ernment attorneys decided if johnson
escaped to Canada he could not be ex-
tradited.
