BELIEVES KITCHENER LIVES.
But Sister Refuses to Make Known
Source of Information.

London, July 2S.-The statement
by Mrs. Parker, sister of Lord Kitch-
ener, that she believes her brother to
be alive and that he did not go down
with the cruiser Hampshire, has re-
vived a rumor which has REQUIRED in
England the past year. Asked on
what grounds she based her belief,
Mrs. Parker replied:
II cannot tell you on what grounds;
in fact 1 do not want to go into any
details whatsoever"
The original rumor was that let
ter had been received from a British
prisoner in Germany saying Lord
Kitchener was a prisoner there. The
letter was never traced and the ru-
NOR was considered a canard

accomplished. Our railroad shares are
exceedingly low, in price, due largely
to the limitations upon their profits
enforced by the government and the
consequent lack of incentive to their
development. The advancing tendency
of money resulting from colossal gov
eminent issues has been an important
factor though this bears heaviest upon
high grade bonds and long term issues.
investors are showing a decided pre-
ference for short term obligations, be-
cause of the many uncertainties in the
present outlook, and the probability of
high interest rates while war con-
tinues. The mineral group of shares
has been selling at very high figures as
a result of unprecedented profits in
copper oil and other minerals Fears
of government price fixing and other
forms of regulation naturally affect
operations in these shares. Coal is an
exception, this industry having had to
contend with car shortage, labor
troubles and inability to advance
prices in a commodity so close to
popular comfort. The building trades
are probably affected more adversely
by the war than any other line of in
dustry Construction materials and
labor are altogether too high to make
building operations attractive.

GERMAN AGENTS MUST GO.
Denmark to Show Undesirables Where
Border Begins

Copenhagen July 28.-A local
newspaper says that the men recently
arrested here for espionage, their
leader being Walter Westedt, alias
Wilhelm, who used his ostensible
position as correspondent of the Ham
burg Fremdenblatt to report ship
movements to German submarines,
probabl will be expelled from Den
mark. Such procedure has been fre-
quently employed in similar cases.
Among those who probably will be
released is a German-American sailor
Alexander Walter Kircheim, who
when arrested had a passport made
out in the name of Stuart issued in
New York. Kircheim was arrested
when calling at WestQdt's office to re-
port to Westedt's superior, a German
naval officer he expected to find there.
Kircheim came here from Holland by
way of Germany, visiting Hellgoland
on the voyage. He is considered to
be highly intelligent and says he was
naturalized in San Francisco n 1914.

ment for the purpose of preparing a
constitution for the future govern
ment of Ireland. Sir Horace is q

lily, whose head is Lord Dunsany, the
famous playwright, novelist and poet.
Sir Horace has been noted for many
years as an investigator of the prob
lens of rural life in Ireland and is
recognized generally as the highest
authority on the subject. The photo
graph was made a few years ago
whe he visited the United States.
The convention adjourned until
Aug. to enable the chairman, in
conjunction with the secretaries, to
prepare and issue to the members in
circular form the material necessary
to enable the convention to proceed
with it's task.

affairs of the present Board; Benja-
min H. Reichert, and Millard +. Saul,
plumber and former member of
the School Board.
All on the job
DR.. Samuel +. Hassler, a we'll
known physician, has been making
quiet canvass for the City Council
and is quite confident of nomination.
In the Democratic end of the shindy
w. l.. Gorgas, the acting mayor, and
John X Royal. a former mayor, are
cutting considerable figure Ex-
Mayor b. u. Gross, who wants to be
reelected to the City Council. is also
prosecuting an active campaign.
Other aspirants for various mu-
nicipal places who have been men
toned in these political reviews from
time to time are also on the job and
pushing for all they are worth.
Among these are Lewis j. Houseal,
Alderman Charles p. Walter, Charles
c. Steiner. Il former president of the
old Common Council; f. l.. Rinken-
bach, Charles L. Spicer and num-
Der of other well-known men.
In the Twelfth ward there is a
lively set-to between Alderman De-
Shong and ex-Policeman JosephVan-
Camp. At the present time the
Twelfth is more or less of a storm
center by reason of several clash
ing political factors which have
entered into the campaign. Nom
partisanship has been given bad
dent in this particular district ow-
ing to the strenuous party activities
on all sides.
City Commissioner Lynch is being
strongly boosted by his friends and
they express supreme confidence in
his nomination. Another lively cam
didate for City Council is Thomas p.
Moran, veteran of the Spanish
American War and active in military
circles.
F.. B. Hoffman, we'll known among
the G. A. r. Veterans, is running
for the School Board, and while the
ballot difficulties confuse the cam
paign somewhat, Mr.. Hoffman's
friends are hopeful of giving him
fine vote.
No States in Evidence
Numerous stories of states"
have gone the rounds and there Is
an evident reluctance in Democratic
circles to see in any of the Re-
publicans out for Council any of the
desirable material" for which the
leaders pretend to be looking, but up
to date there is absolutely no sign of
a fixed slate on either side. Among
those who have gone over town very
carefully is DR.. Hassler. Hassler
said to-day he had failed to find any
signs of a councilmanic combine
The same was repeated by Dewitt

His opponent is Alderman Hilton,

porters throughout the county by
his careful attention to the duties of

sons killed by violence which money
would otherwise have been lost to
them, and Willingness to respond 10
