ATTORNEYS SEARCH FOR
KIN or MARGARET THOMAS
San Francisco Lawyer Visits Iowa in
Hope Of Finding Legal Heirs Of
Woman Who Died in California
Year Aso-Estats Valued At $4,000
or $4,000.

Dubuque, Dec. 17.-From thirty to
forty thousand dollars awaits the legal
heirs Of Miss Margaret Thomas. a
former Dubuque girl, who died sud-
denly in San Francisco almost a year
ago and whose family connections are
clothed in deep mystery. Lea Bleak
more. member of San Francisco law
firm, is in the city in an effort to locate
relatives of the dead woman.
Since the death Of Miss Thomas, who
was about SO years old, lawyers hand
ling the estate have been working dill
gently to discover the heirs without
result. Correspondence and newspaper
advertisements failed to bring out any
tangible clues as to the identity of any
surviving relatives and Mr. Bleakmore
decided to make personal visit to this
section in a last effort to clear up the
mystery. He has visited New York
where Miss Thomas is believed to have
attended a boarding school early in
life, but no records of her presence
there could be found. The lawyer then
returned to Dubuque where he Is in
sterviewing some of the. older residents
Of the city who might have some
knowledge regarding the family. Is s
Was Native Of Dubuque.
In some mysterious manner, all
records Of the life of the dead woman
were either destroyed or lost, and
shortly after her death when "a search
for Information as to her relatives was
made, the only clue obtained was an
Identification card deposited at. San
Francisco nani, ana u paper discovered
among her personal effects. the latter
containing the fact that her mothers
maiden name was Armstrong. It{was
also discovered in the course of rigid
investigation that Miss Thomas was
born in Dubuque, on June 6, 1862, and
this is also questioned because of the
finding of another record stating that
she was born in 1861, a year earlier.
AS the county records of births in
Dubuque county date back to about
1880, the record of her birth was not
obtainable.
Further investigation on the part Of
the law firm revealed the fact that the
mother of Miss Thomas died when the
latter was quite young. Some years
later, it has been disclosed, that she
was sent to a New York boarding
school, and after finishing, a course
there returned west and settled in San
francisco where she resided until her
death. IL 81

Horrors, a man named Farley, an
English teacher of some years of ex-
perience, has raised his voice against
the present time-honored method of
teaching grammar. He wants grammar
Simplified, and to have some of the
useless parts of it eliminated.
Grammar" says Mr.. Farley, mot
only does not teach correct speech, but
often it is hindrance to it. When a
man is thinking of syntax and trying
To talk it the same time he is doing
too much There is a collision that is
fatal either to the syntax or the
thought. prolonged applause from
the eighth grade.) A man may be able
to parse to the queens taste, but that
won't help him to speak English cor
rectly."
Commenting on the subject, the St
Louis Globe says, 1--WE do not know
Mr. Farley, but we would like to take
him by the hand Or failing that, we
would like to shake the hand that
shook the hand of Farley. For we
feel just that way about it. And we
have notion that we shall not be
alone in that feeling We believe that
if the radical and supercourageous ut
terances Of Mr. Farley were to re-
suit in tn elimination of the useless
miseries of grammar as it is now
taught, and the establishment of
practical method of teaching English,
che American people would just have
10 run him for something or other to
show their appreciation"

The tariff on sugar should not be
continued. as the Democratic admin
jstration proposes, for several rea-
sons In the first place sugar is a
necessity, not luxury and if we have
a tax for revenue only, not sugar and
other necessities, but luxuries should
be taxed. Tariff on sugar for the pro-
lection of the sugar industry is not
warranted Sugar-cane growing is
not an industry which with protection
will develop to such extent that the
price of sugar can be reduced. There
is NO danger of our suffering greatly
from having our supply OF sugar from
outside sources cut off, even by war,
Tor in that case we can Immediately
resume the growing of sugar here II 1t

lection The tariff on sugar is in

Guilty in making a good case
against us. "Why," he asks,
els the United States planting her
batteries under our windows if she
has no hostile intent? And why
does she, who contends that no ma
ton of the old world shall gain a
foothold in the western hemisphere,
INSIST ON HER RIGHT OF ES-
TABLISHING A NAVAL BASE
WITHIN A FEW MILES OF OUR
SHORES?"
The argument is unanswerable,
and the result is that the beautiful
friendship between the United
States and Japan which existed be-
fore our new navy was born has
been put to tremendous strain by
our new battleships and the plans
of the rear admirals, SO that more
than once the ties of fraternity
have been on the point of breaking.

WE'RE FOR Use"

AS an argument against the sub
stitution of lie" for Else" in simp1ified
spelling, when choice may be made
we present these facts: the supply
of rs is smaller than the supply Of
SIS in font of type, and the z-box in
the printers case is less conveniently
located than is the sbox; furthermore
the Use" combination can be set more
quickly on the linotype, or at the
cases and therefore, more cheaply
Since this is a day of cooperation, and
efficiency is one of the ideals of the
age, the cooperation of the simplified
speIler with the printer might reason
ably be expected. The use of Use" in
place of ''ize" would contribute to ef-
ficiency, and is the prettier letter
