OF Nations from the start. The Ore
gon Journal conducted a poll which
showed an overwhelming sentiment
for the treaty without any reserva-
tions whatsoever, SO far as a test is
concerned on the unqualified adop-
ton OF the treaty, no better battle
ground could have. been selected by
Mr.. Wilson.
But before the San Francisco Con-
vention comes around there will be
another pronouncement from Mr..
Wilson. The letter to the Oregon
Democrats Is not the last word, nor
the kind OF plank the Democrats will
adopt. They will take their stand
for some reservations, notably those
proposed by Senator Hitchcock and
agreed upon by IA majority of the
Democrats and endorsed by Mr.. Will
son himself. On the face OF II, the
letter to the Oregon Democrats looks
like a reversal by Mr.. Wilson, a re-
turn TO his original position Of un-
compromising opposition TO any
change in the treaty or league.
Eventually he will be found support
ing reservations that do not destroy
the treaty" and condemning the
Lodge reservations on the ground
that they are destructive.
There is u noticeable renewal oil
confidence and hope in White House
quarters as Senator Johnson gains
ground. Senator KnoX's speech really
helped to bring out the letter to the
Oregon Democrats.

GENERAL CIGAR co.
EARNINGS FOR 1919
Net Income of 8.58 Gents Was
Saved on Each Dollar
Of Sales.

In an article published under the
heading. rs This Profiteering?" the
Evening World, on March 25. called
attention to statements of earnings
made by the General Cigar Company,
Inc, OF No. 119 West 10th Street. 1t
was stated that in 1917 the company
was able to save for net income $3.50
cents out OF each dollar of sales, and
that in 1919 the net income was 1880
cents out OF each dollar Of sales. These
figures were erroneous, the Evening
Worlds informant having based his
calculation on gross earnings instead
OF gross sales. The corrected figures
for 1919 show that the company in
that year saved IA net income Of only
S.5S cents out of each dollar Of sales
The gross earnings for 1919 were 81
422, ,414.47, as published, while the
gross sales for the same year we're in
excess Of sS2 100000.
Edward F. Kosenthal OF the Gen.
eral Cigar Co, Inc, said yesterday:
I'VE have never made public in our
annual statements the amount OF our
gross sales. The information Il on
our books for the inspection OF cur
stockholders, but it has been our pol
lev to withhold 1t from our competi-
tors. BY gross earnings we simply
mean gross profits. To determine the
amount of gross earnings we deduct
from the total amount OF sales the
cost of production. The term has a
definite technical meaning as ordi-
narily used in financial statements.
"As a matter OF business policy
under peculiarly dificult conditions
we have made a strenuous effort to
keep down our prices. While in
| cteasing the volume OF our business
we have materially reduced our over
! head expenses in the interest Of our
customers. Since the war began the
price OF cigars to the consumer has
| Increased between so and 60 per cent.
| while statistics from the U. S. De-
I partment OF Labor recently made
public show that between December,
| is14, and December, 1919, the cost OF
living in New York City increased
lOs 81 per cent"

HIRED ASSASSIN

that Mr.. RuckerE had been murdered
because Of the fact that he had taken
from his Office on Saturday afternoon
$500 with which he intended making
trip TO Cincinnati to-day.
Only two persons had knowledge OF
the $500 on the merchant, so far as is
known. They were Miss Helen Bg-
grling, his cashier, and Frank Metz
Ter, his chauffeur Both went to the
First National Bank on Saturday
morning to draw the payroll for the
factory hands and an additional $500
for Mr.. Ruckert.
-Four shots in all were fred in the
dining. room where the struggle took
place. The two bullets were found
in the right and left side OF the mer-
chants abdomen and two slugs were
taken from the walls OF the dining
room. They fitted the chamber Of a
3s-calibre revolver picked UP in the
garden Of August Hinchler at Ninth
Street and Castle Point Terrace.
A mask which had fallen from the
assassin's face was found in the din
ing room. 1t had been made from a
mans silk and Isle sock. Mr.. Ruck-
ert remembered the mask but did not
recall that it had fallen from his
assailant's face. When Police In
spector Kiely sought to talk TO Mr.
Ruckert at st. Mary's Hospital he
said he knew nothing OF the man who
attacked him and wanted to talk
with his partner, Hubert Richter.
Mr.. Ruckert came to this country
seven years ago from Karlsruhe, Ger
many, and took out his first papers.
His property was seized when this
country entered the war, but as soon
as the armistlce was signed he took
out his final papers and the custo-
dian restored his property to him.
He went to Europe in last Decem-
Der and shook hands with Ievery man
Of the 200 or $50 in his employ. There

He walked down the little hallway

he was confronted by n masked man.
holding revolver in each hand.
Dropping his books he started for TIE
intruder who fired a shot, the bullet
going wild and sinking into the wall
opposite. Mr.. Ruclert then grappled
with the assailant and both went 70
the floor.
Ruckert was athletic and soon had
the other under him. II was then
that the masked assassin fired two
shots, both Of which entered the mer-
chants abdomen. He relaxed his
grip and the other rose and hurried
down the hallway. But the merchant
was quickly on his feet and in pur-
suit. Another shot from the masked
man rung out and Mr.. Ruckert pur-
sued him down the FIVE lights of
stairs and to the front door, where he
fell, exhausted from loss OF blood.
His calls for help brought no re-
sponse, although other tenants on the
lower floors heard the sound Of scuf-
fling. Mr. Mclaughlin was first 10
reach him and Immediately notified
the police, who had the dying man
removed to St Mary's Hospital.
Harry Varath, a brother Of Ruck-
ert's fiancee, gave of his blood. as did
A. l.. Mischee, a friend, in an effort
to save the life of the merchant, but
he fingered only few hours more in
consequence Of the two TRANSMISSION
operations.
He was to have been married to Miss
Varath in August.
The murderer got into the house
either through the cellar OF by ringing
the bell Of one OF the other tenants.
He made his way to the roof and low
cred himself by means OF a knotted
clothesllne to the ledge of the kitchen
window. The window was open and
through 1t he let himself in. TIE
police believe that he sat on a chair
'and waited for his victim, one of the
chairs having been found in the centre
Of the kitchen. The assassin evidently
knew Ruckert's valet was away. No
money was stolen.
