MURDER THOUSANDS OF
 YEARS AGO 4 MYSTERY

Los Angeles, Oct. 19-Scientists are trying today to penetrate the oldest murder mystery of the Pa cIfic coast. Tho crime, according to the investigators, was committed thousands of years ago. Naturally the names of the principals are not known. The only evidence is the skeleton of a woman which was found in the famous La Brae as phaltum pits near Los Angeles where paleontologists have unearth- ed the bones of prehistoric horses sabrs-toothed tigers, and other beasts.
 Experts opinions agree that the position Of the body indicated the woman had been thrown head first into the pit. A more hypothesis included a blow on the head, pos sibly from the club Of a cave mah' Learned men from a dozen uniyer- sities are interesting themselves in the mystery.

THE JURY RETURNS A
 VERDICT OF MANsLAUGHTER

At Juneau at 9:90 Thursday night the jury in the Yamaguehi murder trial brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The case was given to them late in the afternoon. The defendant was on trial for first de gree murder.
 K. Yamaguchi and H. Yamashi- ta were each indicted by the last grand jury for the, killing of T. Kagita, Japanese foreman, of the George T. Meyers cannery at Cha them, Sitka bay, on April 2S, 1914, The indictment charged first de- gree murder.
 A plea of self defense was put up and Yamaguchi went to trial. He was ably defended, and q hard fight made for his acquittal.
 The evidence tended to show that there was bitter feeling existing between Kagita and the other Jap anese mplOyes.
 The defense admitted the killing but claimed that Kagita attacked defendants with revolver and that the blows which resulted in death were struck in self defense. Kag- ita was killed by a blow on the head wisH 8 carpenters hammer.

THE SURVIVORS OF KARLUK
 PASS THROUGH JUNEAU

The King and Winge, Capt. A. P. Joachein, which rescued tho suryi- vors of the ill-fated Karluk on Wrangell island in the Arctic ocean put into Juneau harbor Friday night on the voyage south, for the purpose of getting medical and sur gical attention for member Of the crew who had some ribs broken by being thrown against the ships side while the vessel was laboring in a heavy sea between Seward and Cross sound. After a physician had bandaged the injured man and fix ed him comfortably the vessel con- tinued the journey south, leaving there about midnight.
 Speaking of his experience In making the rescue Capt. Joachein told an Empire reporter that he was unable to reach Wrangell islaad by finding lead through the shore ice pack after discouraging search for it. They found II survivors. s white, and an Eskimo with wife and child. Three of the party of whites that had reached the land had died before the King and Wings reached them. ..t .:riqi
 The survivors say that the Karluk' was lost in this wise:
 Fearing that the vessel would get pinched she was worked into 6 side lead. Later the lateral move ment of the ice cut her into halves as neatly as a pair of shears would split a newspaper. Those on board attempted to reach the shope of Wrangell island by travelling oyer the ice but when land was sighted it was found there was open water. They separated into three parties and began searching for chance to reach shore. The party that was rescued did reach shore but the others have never been heard from and are undoubtedly lost.
 The King and Winge left Nome September 30, but put into False bay to replace the propellor that was broken in making the rescue at Wrangell Island.
 The King and Winge, has just completed a successful trading e1- petition to Siberia for the Hth- bard and Stewart people of ssattl&

POLICE STATIONS AS
 EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES

Chicago, Oct 19-Use of police stations as employment agencies and establishment of a central municipal employment bureau operated on the lines of the one opened in Milwaukee three years ago, was discussed at a con ference of the municipal markets commission, handling the unemploy- ment problem, and a number of la bor leaders today.
 Miss Amelia Sears, head of the county bureau of public welfare, made the suggestion that police sta tlons be turned into employment agencies during the winter. She said that aside from the direct bene- fits of this new departure, the po- lice and jobless men would be brought in to closer sympathy and lose some of the spirit of antagon- ism.
 A canvass of 1000 of the largest industrial concerns in Chicago is about completed and will be turned over to the market commission. The canvass will show labor prospects for Chicago for the winter months and indicate to charitable societies to what extent their aid will be nec- essary.

PRIMARY FOUND TO BE
 FAULTY, MANY DECLARE

Springfield, III, Oct. 19-While
 congressman in washington have
 debated resolutlons to investigate
 the campaign expenditures of Roger
 Sullivan, democratic candidate for senator from Illinois, legislators
 back home have been and still are poudering the much weightier and farther reaching problem whether or not the system of primary cleo tions by which Sullivan, Lawrence Y. sherman and Raymond Robbins respectively became democratic, republican and progressive candi- dates for the Illinois toga, Is essen- italy faulty and will have to be re- Yised.
 Though the Illinois primary cost the state a little over a million dollars about seven thousand dollars for every state and legislative acndidaet nominated-it is being generally conceded that in the main the same men would have been nom mated by party conventions and caucuses-and the million would have been saved.
 And probably much more than on million would have been saved to the twelve odd candidates who en- tered the primary, in large expen- ditures for advertising, canVassing and maintaining headquarters. For though no one in Illinois kept any available record Of Candidate sull- ivan's campaign expenses, a super ficiaI survey of his extensive adYer- Using and campaigning leads to the conclusion that the nomination costs thOusands of dollars. The same is true of other candidates in greater or less degree.
 The primary furnished a striking illustration by example of the claims that primaries serve to offset the influence of party organizations and machines. Sullivan was the candi- date of the democratic party organ izations, with the endorsement of the state central committee and the presidential electors, and not even the strength of Governor Dunne, Mayor Harrison of Chicago and Secretary of State Bryan could muster serious opposition. Sulli- van would have been nominated by | 6 party convention. On the Tepub- lican ticket, Senator L. Y. Sher- man was renominated with the sup port of the surviving party organ ization of former Governor Deneen and Roy o. West, chairman of the state central committee. sherman would have been nominated by re- publican convention. On the pro gressive ticket, Raymond Robbins, Illinois exponent of Rooseveltism, was easily nominated. He would have been nominated, probably un- animously, by a state convention.
 Then why the millions of expense, is the question being asked from several quarters.
