Dear Editor:
] noticed in yesterdays Express. in
a sensational write-up, that woman $
character was criticised Please tell
Why a woman's character is always
traced from infancy up II she is ever
before the public. and that mans
character is never traced. Is It because
1t is untraceable?
A READER.
The above communication was re-
eeived yesterday We have searched
Wednesdays issue OF the Express in
vain for any sensational wrte-up IN
which a woman's character was criti-
cised and W. are therefore unable to
see the point in the inquiry. The next
time Reader writes she must sign
her name, otherwise no attention win
be paid to IT, This is fixed newspa-
per rule but we deyiate from 1t this
time because Reader apparently was
unaware Of the existence Of such
rule.

STUDY INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMS
When the history OF the present ad
ministration is written in the distan
future. it is very probable that it vii
be set down that the greatest thinl
done by Mr. Wilson had no connection
with the currency. tariff or Mexican
policy but concerned a matter that
attracted no great amount. OF attention
al the time We refer to the appoint
ment OF the new Industrial Relations
commission. or course ii all depends
upon how successful this commission
is in accomplishing its mission. but
there is no question as TO the posi-.
bilties OF the investigation which is
being launched and the personnel OF
the commission furnishes ground for
hopes that - labors will be fruitful Of
farreaching results.
The chairman OF the commission is
Frank = Walsh. a noted Kansas City
lawyer and welfare worker and an
other member is Prof. John r. Com
mons. one of the countrys greatest
authorities on social and economic
questions. while the other members
were all chosen with special reference
TO their fitness for the work. The
character Of the inquiry that Is to be
conducted was recently indicated in
an interview with Mr.. Walsh. printed
in Golfers. We quote from the article
as follows:

approaches to the problem One is a

Isaaco Mario Crosse, whom the fed

IBUSH GIVES AID
TO THE FARMERS
New Western Pacific Presi.
dent Believes in Test
Farms

An indication of the resourcefulness
of B. F. Bush, president of the Gould
lines In the Improvement of general
conditions along his roads is AFFORDED
by his installation of demonstration
farms along the lines of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain. These are de-
signed to aid the farmers in getting
the best possible results from the land.
The demonstration farm at Conway.
Ark, is making most impressive
showing, spring oats grown there
have been exceptionally fine. The dem
onstration farm at Dermott, Ark, con-
tafns the best crop of corn in that sec
ton, and although corn on neighbor-
ing farms suffered from drought, the
crop on the demonstration farm shows
no damage, owing to proper prepara-
tion of the seed bed
Oats at the demonstration farm at
Hope, Ark, thrashed out an average
of 10 bushels to the acre. Various
crops which have been planted on the
farm at Arcadia. No. are being
watched with interest by resident
farmers and others.
The railroad commission has rem
dered a decision directing the San Pc

WILLARD DUXbURY
CAN'T REMEMBER
Convicted Robber Fails to
Talk When Quizzed by
District Attorney

When the police commission meets
afternoon to begin its investigation
into the gambling scandal, the princi-
pal witnesses to be called. aside from
Millard Duxbury, the barber victim OF
the surething gamblers, will be former
Chief of Police John Martin and former
Police Commissioner Harry Flannery.
There is considerable speculation as
to the commissions reason for calling
Martin and Flannery. Those un-
friendly to Chief White declare that
the majority of the board is trying to
protect him by showing that the evils
of the police department far antedate
the appointment of White and had
their beginning in former administra-
tions.
Whites friends say practically the
same thing, but in a different way,
claiming that the evils of which the
public complains had their beginning
in earlier administrations and that
White has not been in office long
enough to learn about them.
But the chief difficulty confronting
the commission Is the variable memory
of Millard Duxbury, the convicted rob
ber who two days ago promised to tell
a story of police graft that would In
volve many members of the department
and demonstrate how the bunkomen
had their headquarters at the Waldorf
club, where they f1eeced their victims
much as did the bunkomen at 544
Broadway.
Yesterday morning DuXbury, who was
at the county Jail awaiting sentence on
conviction of having robbed man
named Sparkman, was brought to the
office of the district attorney and ques-
toned by Assistant District Attorneys
Cotton and Ferrari.
Duxbury exhibited such a reluctance
to talk that the officials wondered If he
had in the meantime been seen" by in
terested persons.
The officials sent him back to jail and
gave him until today to recover his lost
memory. They still have hopes that he
will make a, statement.
President Theo Roche of the police
commission yesterday made the state
ment that conditions have become such
that determined effort must be made
by the commission to determine wheth-
er or not Chief White is incompetent. He
says that it is for the purpose Of deter
mining whether or not the chief is in
competent that Martin, Flannery and
others have been subpenaed to appear.
There is possibility that Jerome
Bassity and Joe Sullivan may be called
as witnesses before the investigation is
concluded.

NEWS OF AN AFFINITY
CAUSES W|FE's COLLAPSE

Mrs Edmund T. Green. wife of the
former president of the Pacific Coast
Casualty company, who is alleged to be

Portland. collapsed yesterday owing to
the nervous strain she has been under

Franklin. AS soon as Mrs. Green re-
covers sufficiently she VIII go to a
country home at Cupertino.
The investigation of Green's affairs,
which is in the hands of special COM
mittee. was continued yesterday. Carl
G. Brown, vice president of the COM
pany. questioned about Green's denial
of a shortage in the company's funds,
said, What else could the man do?'
Theodore ]. Roche, attorney for Mrs.
Green, said that so far as she was con-
cerned no suit for abandonment Is to
be filed against Green.

TWO ROADS TIED
Up BY SHOWERS
Tehachapi Pass Visited by
Rainfall That Stops S. P.
and Santa Fe

One of the most complete tieups in
years was caused yesterday on the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe when
sections of track scattered over a
stretch of Is miles in the Tehachapi
pass were washed out Monday night by
floods resulting from the recent rain.
All traffic coming into the northern
part of California over the Santa Fe
railroad was completely blocked and
the Southern Pacific valley traffic was
also held up.
Trains were lined up at the small sta
tions on either side of toe mountains
Monday night and during the day yes
terday. Traffic was resumed early last
evening.
The washout was a serious one, in
some instances gullies nine feet deep
having been cut under the rails.
Wrecking crews sent out by the
Southern Pacific spent all Monday night
and Tuesday building a shoofly track
around the washouts, but were not able
to finish their work in time to let trains
get into Los Angeles before nightfall.
