 FAMILY ARE DUG UP
MURDER MYSTERY BATTLES THE POLICE OF OAKLAND BY
 LATE DISCOVERY.
Skeletons of Woman and Five Children Are Found In a
 Easement.

Oakland, Cal, May 7.-Bones of a woman and five children were un- earthed in basement at No. 532 Seventeenth street, Oakland, today, by M. Cochrane, house cleaner. These bones are all the police have as cleWs to what was probably the mur- der of an entire family.
 The largest bone dug up by Coch- rane was the pelvis of woman, ap- parently close to six feet tall. Other bones were numerous. Some of these were of such size as to indicate that they belonged to a child of fif- teen months and others to child of fifteen years. Then there were the bones of a child six years old. The bones of the children were wrapped in a paper bearing the patent medicine advertisement of "A. w. Kelly, Pan cred, California"
 Efforts are being made to locate such a man. About year ago tho discovery was made that bank rob- bers had undertaken to reach the vault of the Bank of Commerce by digging a tunnel from the basement

 And stil lthese are not only pro ducers who have declared their in tention of supplying New York with Opera next season, as there have been a number of other announcements from impresarios who come to the front every year, give few weeks of opera with hastily organized com panies, and then disband. These ep- hemeral operatic producers have also caught the fever for announcing op- cratic plans, and apparently every body's doing it.' Consequently it now appears that there will be at least half dozen organizations sup plying opera to the New York public next season, including the peerless Metropolitan Opera Company, the Aborn English Grand Opera Company, Hammerstein s Organization, the City Clubs Company at the Century Thea- tre and two or three smaller fry. If they all carry out their intentions it will be a "battle royal and ''the survival of the fittost" will eventual ly solved New York S operatic prob lens, the sturdiest of these many Or ganizations continuing until the Spring of 1914.

METHODS OF INDUCING SLEEP
Relaxation of the Mind and Muscles
 Is the Principal Thing to Keep in Mind.

How to get to sleep, when every de vice fails and one feels desperate, is a matter worth solving, especially if there be simple methods that can be tried.
 A well.known lecturer on hygiene, whom Q very sleeplesg woman con- suited or the subject of bad nights, gave her. valuable advice. the efficacy of whicio she has proved.
 "Stretc' out your limos to the full length, with the arms rather close to she sides of the body, and straight down." said he, GOT if that is not con- ifortable, in any downward fashion,
 Sometimes you may find it for the moment restful to clasp the arms above the head, bat on no account give way to the habit of doing so, for this position drives away the blood from the heart and sends it to the head, causi'us uneasy dieams, and therefore reStiessneas, and may even prevent sleep altogether. Gently close yoar mouth and breathe through yeu. nose. This Is highly important. Ii.en let gil the muscles of the face aad neci: i'a re- laxod, and al muscles CT tke aody ,oo.'
 Women Of mature age should Go as careful as girls to zoo that they sleep with tho mouth shut, for thig habit combats q tender cy. growing with the years, to drop CT protrude tic jaw as the face is settling to sleep. A closed mouth and relaxed muscia5 help tf keep you young looking.

An Opcratic Battle Royal

New York City will have plenty of grand opera next season according ;o present indications, and interest has risen higher and higher with each of the important announcemenas that have been made within the past few weeks.
 Early last Winter Milton and Sar- gent, Aborn gave publicity to their decision to give grand opera in Eng fish for the season of 1913-14 in an opera house to be built for them by Felix lsman, the Philadelphia eapi. talist.
 The next news item came from Os- gar Hammerstein, stating that he would also build theatre for the home of grand opera in the yernacti- lar The particular interest in this announcement lay in the fact that the Metropolitan Opera Company when it bought HammerstGin out sey. eral years ago, stipulated in their contract that he should not enter the grand opera field in New York fol ten years.
 The latest pronuncianlento is from the City Club of New York an organ. zation established originally for civic betterment, and composed of some ol the Wealthiest of residents of the metropolis who are anxious to dc anything that will forward the wei fare of their fellow citizen in ever; way. Their activities extend to al fields, including education, amuse, mcnts, health and social conditions They have appropriated four hundred and fifty thousand dollars for tn; purpose of giving grand opera to th{ people of New York at popular prices during the next three years, ant have designated the Century Theatre formerly the New Theatre) as tht home of this grand opera institution Several candidates for the position of managing director of the Cit. Clubs operatic enterprise have bee, discussed, and the leader in the rac' so far seems to be the firm of Milton and Sargent Aborn.
 In the meantime Mcssrs Aborl have gone ahead on their own ac count, and have mailed a prospectu of thair coming season to thousand fo music lovers in Greater New York Their opera house, they state, is t be built at 5Sth street and 7th ave nue, and will open October 1.

GIBBONS UN WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE

While thousands of American Mo- men are parading the streets and avenues of the Eastern and Northern cities to enlist others in the cam paign for votes for Women," and Mhiie thousands Of women in Eng land are destroying property, violat- ing tho law and doing other undigni- fled things to carry their point tearing their hair, smashing things and starving in jail to get equal suf- frage, it is interesting and edifyins to read a sane word on the subject from man like Cardinal Gibbons:
 Equal rights do not imply that both sexes should engage promiscu- ously in the same pursuits, but rath- CT that each sex should discharge those duties which are adapted to it's physical constitution and are sane toned by the canons of society.
 "When l deprecate female suffrage 1 am pleading for the dignity Of wo- man. 1 am contending for her honor l am striving to perpetuate those peerless prerogatives inherent in her sex, those charms and graces which eXalt womankind and make her the ornament an dteh coveted companion of man.
 We must remember that though woman does not personally vote, she exercises the right of suffrage by proxy So powerful in the influence which a sensible matron exerts over her husband and sons that they will rarely fail to follow her counsel, which comes from inspired rather than labored reasoning"

TO REFORM THE PRESS.

from escaping the attention of that class of statesmen who seem to feel it their duty to eradicate all real or imaginary evils through statutory en- actment, says the Fort Smith Times Record. A member of the Ohio leg islature fathered a bill which, had it become a law, would have rendered the newspapers of his state about as interesting as handbills. measure almost equally as restrictive wiggled it's way through the Indiana legisla- ture and, strange to say, received the governors endorsement. Lee O'Neil Brown, whose name is notorious ill one or two of his conferes in the the history of the Lorimer case, and Illinois legislature, are urging the passage of bill that would practical ly establish press censorship. A mem Der of the last Arkansas general as- sembly, whose peace of mind has been disturbed to some extent through newspaper publicity on several occas- ions during the past few years, aIo undertook reform of the same character. But it remains for Sena- tor Works of California, to ask the nation to do what the solons of indi- vidual states have attempted but fail cd to accomplish, l. e., muZzle the press. Senator Works wants clean press. He would obtain this by pro- hibiting, by law, the publication of the details of accident. crimes, or any other kind of news of sensational na- ture.
 It should be said in Senator Works behalf, however, that flis motives diff fer from those of most of the solons whcse efforts have been mentioned. He appears to be sincere. So far as public knowledge extends he has never been involved in any transac- tion that would excite newspaper comment other than in the way of friendly criticism. His career as statesman, though not overly marked by wisdom has been free from incl cen. that would reflect upon his in tegrity.
 But if Senator Works would suc- ceed in his efforts to reform the press as he wishes it to be reformed, he must effect reform on other lines. He must reform the people and the peoples tastes, and he must also ef- feet reform among statesmen. If an incident of sensational nature oc- cures, whether it be a murder, rob- hery, an accident, or anything else out of the ordinary run of affairs, the people want to know all about it, they have a right to know all about it. and the press is standing within the bounds of legitimacy when it tells them. so far as it can, what they want to know. If public official gees wrong, or is accused through legitimate process of having gone w-org, the people wish to know what Ee is charged with having done, why he is charged with wrong doing, etc. And they will not be satisfied with a mere statement of the fact that his integrity is in question. They want to know all the why's and wherefores. And soforth and soforth all along the The

ELEANOR GATES ON HOW TO TRAIN The CHILD

Their one aim Is their own comfort
and qualification. They should be
trained as are animals.
Animals should never be beaten.
Nor should children be struck. The
parent who Furnishes a child corpor-
ally should be corporally punished
himself. What they do that is wrong
should be ignored. =. What they do
that is right should be encouraged.
Lay no stress onIthe mistake, but
praise the meriterious. g.;
2 A child brings home some vulgar
term he has learned on the street.
Pay no attention to 1t. Act as though
you had not heard 1t. But when the
child expresses his meaning we'll.
smile and say: 1T pleases me very
much to hear you say that. How nice"
II you tell him the expression he has
picked up, in the street is not nice
one that you don't want ever to hear
it again, it will impress it upon his
mind. sgI5
Both animals and schildren delight
in being praised. Both respond to
praise, and neither gives full response
to punishment. n l don't know why
this is SO any more than know Why
is electricity. But 1t Is 50, and the
more fully we recognize it the more
successful are we with children.

New Euei-Perhaps,

A substitute for gasoline has been
discovered. unless the inventor de
ceives himself. The name OF the new
substance is "gasene." It is an artifi.
cial product, built up from the various
substances in crude oil; instead of be-
ing separated from the mass by dis
tillation, as is the case with gasoline.
The inventor or discoverer claims
that 60 per cent; OF q barrel of crude
oil can be converted into gasene,
whereas a yield Of 16 per cent gaso-
line is. considered good He claims
that the new substance can be made
to sell at wholesale for 8 or 1 cents
per gallon. and that It will work In
all gasoline engines, ,s$
