IRepublIcan A. p. Leased wirel

LOS ANGELES.

 The police, recalling this, announce their belief that whoever killed the banker had mistaken him for Such berry, and declared the revenge theory would account for the fact that Rob- bins watch and a considerable sum of money were found on his body.
 Their only clues. they said, consisted of bloodstalns, a few footprints in soft earth, a poor description of the slayer and a piece of rope with which the banker was Strangled.

With the intention of fore ing the plumbers back into the build ing trades council, Q strike" was called last "Wednesday. This lasted but one day, however, the building trades coun eil calling the strike" off after a tele- gram from the bricklayers' interna- tional union had said the so-called strike was a mistake and should be abandoned; that 1t was wrong to pen alize others on account of one union.

 What really happened Tn November 1916 was that the voters of this coun- try-and particularly the voters of California-kicked Hughes upstairs into a position paying about sixty times what his former one had yielded.
