Efforts of Police to Solve the
Latest Case Unre-
warded
THE POLICE
HAVE HOPES
The First Identification Is
Doubted-Other Trunk
Mysteries

New York, Dec. 3l.-By drawing in
the net of investigation begun Monday
noon when the body OF a man was found
in trunk in front of Pitt street ten
ement on the East Side, the police were
confident that yesterday the identity of
the victim OF New York's third trunk
murder mystery in four years" would
be positively established.
The two previous trunk mysteries re-
manned unsolved.
To identify the body, the police
placed it on view in police station and
more than 1000 residents of the East
Side--men and women--passed by it be-
fore Mike Malloy, proprietor of Polish
boarding house, declared that it was
that OF John Kremen, former coal
miner of Charleston, w. Va, but more
recently employed in this city by house
wreckers and as stable man.
Although Malloy was positive in his
identification, several headquarters de-
tectives were inclined to believe that
he might be mistaken, though the muir
dered man might have been employed
by house wreckers. To test this theory,
the body, upon which was found time
check marked on one side -. z. D." and
or the other "l02," was viewed by j. F.
Donovan and J. F. Dolan. both of whom
are in the house wrecking business.
The trunk which was used to dispose
of the body was % inches wide, 22A
inches high and "a inches long. 1t was
manufactured, according to two trunk
experts who examined it, by the Peters
burg Trunk and Bag company of Peters
burg, Va, and was comparatively new.
One of the unsolved trunk mys-
teries" was the murder of Moses Sachs,
jewelry peddler, who was killed June
Is, 1910. just year before the murder
of Sachs, Elsie Sigefs body was found
in trunk in room occupied by Leong
Lee, Chinese, who disappeared and
was accused by the police of being her
slayer.
Another unsoIved trunk mystery was
the murder of Meyer Weissbard whose
body was found in trunk on Pier IL,
East River, on Jan. l6 1911, after the
trunk had remained there for day.

WILSON DROPS
PRIMARY IDEA
Opposition in His Own Party Causes the
President to Abandon Plan for
the Present.

Washington. Dec. 3l.-President Will
son has dropped the presidential pri-
mary, at least, for the time being. He
has found the opposition in his own
party too strong and he will not push
it.
Inquiry was made at the White House
yesterday about the probable line OF ae-
ton on the presidential primary. This
inquiry developed the reply that the
president intended to do nothing more
about it this session.
Whether the president intends ever
to take it up again is left indefinite,
but inasmuth as he can never hope to
have firmer grip on the Democratic
element in Congress than he has now it
is regarded as doubtful whether he
makes any serious attempt to get leg
islation along this line.
The news that the administration had
abandoned the idea of pushing the presi-
dental primary was looked on as inn
portant in political circles here The
Bull Moose leaders said they intended to
press for legislation on this subject as
vigorously as ever. Progressive Repub-
lcans will do likewise.
The advocacy of the presidential pri-
mary by President Wilson raised storm
of protest from southern Democrats and
conservative Democrats generally. 1t is
believed the president concluded not TO
push it because OF this opposition.

NOT PUSHING
PRIMARIES
Congress Is Somewhat Cool
Toward Such Legis-
lation
SOUTHERNERS
WOULD OPPOSE
Are More Inclined to Take
Up Matter of Rural
Credits

Washington, Dec. 3l.-No attempt
will be made by the administration at
the coming season to get behind legisla-
tion providing for presidential prima-
ries. Whether the president will make
this subject legislative issue at all re-
mains to be seen. His suggestion that
presidential primaries be authorized,
contained in his message to Congress,
was bomb in the camp of the South
ern Democrats, who would oppose the
presidents plan, first, because it inn
plies federal supervision of local cleo
tions and, second, because it would raise
the issue of the disfranchisemeRt of the
negro, which is common in many South
ern states. Moreover, the south already
is overrepresented in Congress, in view
of the constitutional prohibition against
Negro disfranchisement, and Republi-
can backfire started on that subject
might bring disaster to the Democratic
lines. All these reasons have operated
to minimize the possibility of primary
legislation and administration officials
now admit that none will be attempted
at present.
1t is likely that rural credits rather
than antitrust legislation viii be the
immediate program OF Congress. The
commission OF which Senator Fletcher
OF Florida is chairman has made its re.
port OF tie subject and this President
Wilson has taken TO Mississippi! to
study. Upon his return, it will be given
to the public and ii is understood that
bill based upon the report will be in
troduced and pressed for passage.

Ignite Has Great Possibilities as Gas
Producer.
Great possibilities exist in the con-
version of Ignite into producer gas.
Though producer gas plants are numer-
GUS in Europe and are becoming COM
mon in this country, they are not yet
wholly beyond the experimental stage.
They have, however, been perfected sur
iiciently to prove their superiority in
many points to ordinary steam boilers.
Some briquetting tests have been
made with North Dakota Ignite and
have proved that the fuel can be treated
successfully in that way. Tests at the
Pittsburg laboratory of the bureau of
mines indicate that Ignite from the
Williston field can be economically
briquetted and Ignite from this field
has been briquetted successfully at the
North Dakota mining and experiment
station at Hebron. The Pittsburgh tests
were made with high pressure and with
out binder, whereas the Others were
made with lower pressure and binder.
As both methods gave favorable results,
the experimenters believe that the lig-
mite can be successfully briquetted on a
commercial basis either with or without
binders. When briquetted the Ignite
can compete with higher-grade coal, as
the briqucts withstand weathering and
do not crumble badly when handled.
The future installation of briquet and
gas producer plants in this field seems
probable. The rapid change in methods
and machinery for such plants and the
large initial cost are doubtless every
where delaying the immediate introduce
ton of producer gas machinery, but the
installation of such plants must of
course go along with the introduction of
manufacturing industries to utilize the
power developed.
A moderate estimate places the tom
mage of the Williston field at about ID
billion tons of Ignite, the basis of the
estimate including only such seams or
beds as are greater than 25 inches in
thickness and which are found at a
depth of less than 500 feet.
