Millions Of Dollars Lost by Railroads

"A man is as old as his arteries"
says a prominent health authority.
with equal truth it may be said that
country is as prosperous as its rail-
roads. for Industry is the life of a
country. and the railroads bear the
same vital relation to the Industrial
system that the big blood carrying
tubes bear to the human body.
There was a time In the history OF
industry when manufacturing was a
one man affair, when every laborer
owned his own tools and made goods
FOR hfs nelghbOrs. That system passed
away with the invention Of the steam
engine. and no sane man today would
wish for its return. The modern high
ly developed Industrial organism de-
pends absolutely on the facilities for
distribution provided by the railroads.
But how have the railroads been re-
warded for making possible the evolu-
tlon or industry? In recent years thev
have been made the subject for all
sorts Of legal vivisection. They have
been chloroformed and cut open. and,

DARES ATKINS.
TO TAKE CASE
INTO COURTS

Continuation of the hearing of
charges against City Commission
err Charles d. Atkins was schedul-
ed to take place in the council
chambers Monday afternoon.
But because of the announce
ment by Howard F. Steere, the
auto salesman who accused At
kins of collision with a Seattle
agency in the purchase of motor
truck for the city, that he would
not appear, 1t was anticipated that
the trial would come to an abrupt
end.
Steere explained Monday
morning that he would not ap-
pear because he had no power to
subpoena witnesses, and that his
most important witnesses against
Atkins were unwilling to volun-
teer their testimony, for fear OF
incurring his official wrath.
II wish that Atkins or some
one else in his department would
sue me for libel on this case, "
said Steere. 49,
"That would give me a chance
to bring in my witnesses. know

court, while cannot at the hands
of Atkins friends in the council.

Sheriff Matt Starwich spent the
entire morning in the house and
in the homes of neighbors, hop
ing to get a clue that would dis
close the identity of the muir
derer.
Find Telltale Relics.
A blood-stained FELLOWSHIP,
found under the bed in which the
three little boys slept, and a ham,
mer, found beneath the crib in
which the body of their sister was
found, are held as evidence.
The hammer will he examined
for traces of blood. 1t is a light
claw-hammer and the handle had
been burned away.
Find Bottle Also.
A bottle, which may have con-
tanned poison, was also picked up
by Deputy Coroner Koepfli.
Hewitt explained that 1t Lad
contained a cleaning fluid which
his wife had used.
Hewitt told conflicting stories
of the deaths of the children WHOM
questioned by neighbors and later
| by the authorities. He did not
know the children had been muir
dered, he said, until he was told
by the officers.
At the Jail he refused to say
anything further, but maintained
an Unconditional calm.
Hewitt slept peacefully last
night, apparently undisturbed by
any qualms of conscience. His
taller reported that he retired be-
fore 10 o'clock. and that his slum-
bers were quiet.

MEMORIAL
WILL PASS!

A message from Sam Wall, at
Olympia, brings the news Monday
that King county apparently does
not intend to oppose the memorial
to the national geographic board
asking that the original name CT
the mountain be restored.
He predicted unreservedly the
will pass.
Coincident with this informa-
ton, comes the Monday issue OF
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. with
an editorial, saying:
"Once swearing we'd never con-
even when Gabriel blew
his final blast---let's be good-na-
tured and magnanimous and full
of neighborly feeling and consent.

memorial was made a special Or
der of business in the house for

the development of the Rainier

WASK|LLED
BULLETS

UNITED Press Leased Wirc.)
RUTLAND, VT, Jan. 90
The admission today by Dis
trict Attorney v. G. Poulin
that he is vigorously investi-
eating the death of Miss Nora
Benson, former motion pic
ture actress, revealed what is
expected to become one OF the
most sensational murder mys-
teries in the history Of the
state. 49,.
Bullet holes were found in the
body. A death certificate giving
the cause of death as yellow liver
trouble" is believed to have been
forged.
About a month ago the girls
mother was notified that Miss
Benson, who had been with a mo-
ton picture company in Los An
geles, had died and that the body
was being forwarded to her In
charge of a man. The mother went
to Chicago to receive the corpse
She found that the coffin bore
o tag which said:
Pneumonia; do not open.'
The mother, however, insisted
upon having 1t opened and the
man mysteriously disappeared
Examination disclosed the three
bullet holes. Photographs were
made of the wounds and the body
brought here for burial.
The body, It is declared, was
clothed only in a shirtwaist and
chemise and bore unmistakable
evidence of violence.
The chief of police at Los An
geles has been notified and will
launch a rigid investigation.
