This Is the amazing statement made
to the police by c. L. Carmen, %, who

time he could remember nothing that
took place
He regained his memory, he said, and
found himself fully dressed walking
from him home down the railroad tracks
toward the city. He gave himself up
to the first policeman he met and at
his request both returned to the home,
where they found the body Of the muir
dered woman, her head crushed and a
blood axe standing beside the
bed. Indications were that the woman
had given no struggle.

officers "She wasea good woman, very
considerate and dutifuI. We had no
trouble. She was previously married
and had a hard time and I tried to
make up to her for her unhappiness. we
did not quarrel"

MEN
 RESCUED FROM
 SERIOUS PLIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec IT. -- A thrilling tale of the rescue of 15 ice bound starving passengers of pas senger steamer which had been wrecked near Cape Prince of Wales, was told here on the arrival of the whaler Herman, one of the fleet oper- ated by H. Liebes & Co.,, furriers from a cruise into the Arctic sea. The whaler was loaded down with whale oil, furs, salt fish and whale bone, a cargo valued at 100000.
 The rescue was effected after the shipwrecked passengers had been wandering over the ice for two weeks without food. There were three wo- men in the party and they told of how they had baked the last of their pro- visions into small sized cakes, giving one to each passenger. When found the passengers were nearly exhaust ed. Captain c. T. Pederson, skipper of the whaler. was recommended for official commendation by the authori- ties at Nome.
 An attempt was made by the party of the Herman to rescue the one sur vivor of the Stephenson expedition. who, if still alive, is at Banks Land. Three men were brought out from this place by the Herman on it's last cruise. The lone survivor is believed to have a fortune in furs. Fifty miles was the closest the party attempting the rescue could get to the place where the survivor is believed to be. On the way north the Herman took supplies to the Presbyterian hospital at Point Barrows.
 In the whaling expedition there was but one mishap and that was when giant bowhead, harpooned by mem hers of a boat in the command of Theodore Pederson, son of the cap- tain, and a veteran of five cruises into the frozen north, showed fight. The boat was upset and men rescued only after their lives were endang- cred.
 The Eskimos have become inde- pendent. owing to the increase in the value of furs. according to George Cobeen. company representative, who made the trip. He says they are wal

OVERLAND MAKES
SEDAN POPULAR
Public Has Shown Marked Trend
to This Type as Coolest in
Summer, Contest in
Winter

Edward Schipper. member of the
Society of Automotive Engineers, III a
recent article in Motor World, said:
probably the most noticeable devel-
Opment in the automobile industry
will be the almost entire replacement
of the touring car by the Sedan and
other types of enclosed bodies in the
higher-priced ears and vastly greater
percentage of enclosed cars as com
pared with the open in the lOwer-priced
field"
Apparently this is the day of the
Sedan. Half Of the cars on display at
this years automobile shows were Of
the Sedan type. The public has always
recognized the advantages of the Sedan
for winter use. Now there has come
appreciation of the fact that the Sedan
is cooler than other types for summer
use.
THE fact is that 90 per cent of those
owning touring cars rarely put their
tops down. Few car buyers can afford
more than one car. The economical
choice therefore, is the Overland Sc
dan, VIII h provides remarkably
smooth riding comfort because of it's
TripleX springs.
Offering protection from dust, rain,
sun. cold and snow, the Overland Sc
dams great growth in popularity has
been only logical. In this Sedan, for
example, it is but a moments work to
lower or open the wide, clear-visiOn
windows giving the car all of the adj
vantageS of the touring model, in addi-
ton TO retaining those comforts obtain
allie only in the Sedan type. And the
Overland Sedan weighs only 200 lbs.
more than the touring car.
I'm case of sudden transforms, pc
cular to summer, there is no hurried,
anxious work Of putting up side cur
tains. You merely raise the windows
and still have no shut-in feeling. At
certain times of the year, especially
after hot day, the nights turn sud
denly cool. In the Sedan, then you
ride in shelter and comfort.
For summer shopping in the city,
the Sedan should make a distinct ap-
peal to women. The doors of the Sedan
are equipped with locks. Parcels left
in the car are safe; the car is locked
against theft and there need be no fear
for children left sitting in the car I'M
attended"
