This product HORLlCK named
Matted MIX. (Name since copied

(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,

Commission Would. Set
Aside Burleson Rates
(By Associated Press)

LANSING, Mich, Aug. LIN an
opinion rendered to the Michigan pub
lie utilities commission, Attorney Cen
eral Groesbeck declared congress had
no authority to continue the telephone
rates put into effect by Postmaster
General Burleson for four months after
the government relinquished control
Of the wire companies. Such an act,
the attorney general held, violated the
states right to control intra-state bust
ness.
Mr.. Groesbeck ruled that telephone
rates in effect before the period OF
government operation began should
be declared in effect as of August 1.
The commission had asked an opinion
as to it's authority to set aside the
Burleson rates without a hearing.

neighborhOod where all lips are sealed.
Was he trusted secret ambassador
carrying messages back and forth-a man
engaged in dangerous intelligence work for
the benefit of one of the many factions
which are constantly intriguing, one
against the other, in Asia and Europe.
Was he traitor?
Or was he the victim Of a swift tragedy
of hot human passions-done to death IN
al. amOTous intrigue?
But if the last, then why the suit case
with it's unassailable suggestion Of some
thing to be saved? Why the Mills Hotel?
Unquestionably the clue TO the mystery
lies in the reasoning that selected this
particular place for hiding the case. The
carrier must have known we'll that peril
was close behind him; knew that il his
records of the successful killing were to
be preserved he must quickly rid himself
Of them. Why did he not go to some other
hotel? Here again is evidence OF knowF
edge of the customs in the more expen-
sive hotels He could not enter one Of
them and go from it leaving his baggage
behind him perhaps indefinitely. AS long
as he could nay his room rent it would, Of
course, be safe. But if he had to remain
under cover for any length OF time, OF
found it impossible to appear at the desk
to paw, the satchei, he knew, would soon be
opened and what was within discovered.
So it would have been IL he had checked
il at a railroad station-as in some cases
has been done.
But the Mills Hotel. catering to its pecu-
liar. drifting clientele. was exactly the
place a pursued man could rid himself Of
his handicap and have full assurance that
= would be kept for months, untouched
and without question.
And having placed it there he vanished
where and to what fate?
II might be. of course, that if he lived
and as the weeks went by during which
be was forced to keep in hiding, he feared
when release came to claim it, He might
not have been all sure of the deodorizing
effect Of his lime. He must know that II
il had been found the fact had not been
Taade public-yet that was no guarantee
that it had not been found. The police
often work secretly. Their detectives
might be watching day and night for soma
one to claim the case!
Yet this is not likely. Men who murder
in such calculated fashion are not pront
to be deferred by fear from reaping the
reward Of their crimes.
1t is most probable that the hands Of the
avengers reached out and cluIched him
Fay, too. have caught the confederate who
carried the other parts of the body, or It
may be that the latter was able to carry
his proofs back to those who hired him.
In all the annals Of crime the police have
had no more fascinating, more imagination
stirring mystery to grapple with than this.
And, again, il raises the question: What
other tremendous tragedies, romances,
comedies are hidden in these abandoned
bags and bundles and valises in the cellars
of such places as the Mills Hotels-treas-
uries for the novelists. Libraries for the
student of the human heart?

So much for what is called the internal
evidence given out by the fragments them
selves. What now remains is to ascertain
what dark forces, working for who can tell
what aims, decreed the crime. Had the
unknown been an agent Of some govern
ment, stumbling block in the crooked
path Of another? Surely he was slain in
1915-and then America was the hot-bed
of conspiracies and hidden weaknesses.
Had he discovered secrets that were his
death warrant? Had whoever it was that
set the slayers upon him been so DESTROYS
of certainty Of his fate that those slayers
were ordered to bring back the body as
proof that he had been done away with?
And had the assassins, after carrying out
their orders, been hard pressed by equally
as desperate associates of their victim,
forced to separate, to flee and to hide for
a time? Had these pursuers tracked the
man who checked the suit case and sent
his soul out into the void when he skunk

Did his accomplish escape with the bag
