Able to get stock so much more rapidly, we do not have to keep so much on hand Operat- ing on a narrow margin we have 10 keep very close account of stock, and, to meet this need, we have complete ly changed our system of purchasing and accounting. Formerly we bought in vast bu1k lots using up stock as we needed it. But that would not do under our changed conditions We have worked out a new system which believe is not duplicated any where.

Jan. as clerks could make out the
 checks. That was our only inme-
 diate outlay-we had almost enough
 cash to pay it three times over.
 Then we turned our attention to
 liquidation. When we closed down we
 had on hand approximately 9S.ooo
 finished cars. At Highland Park we
 had been shipping out cars and parts
 to dealers and branches as fast as
 they were finished. This plant was
 cleared of materials. Every depart
 ment closed down.
 "But we have tftirty-fiye branches
 scattered over the country at twenty two of which we both manufacture
 parts and assemble. At these the
 the assembling of finished parts went on adding week after week through January to our finished cars. That was why during January there was a Ford car famine in Detroit and to fill local orders we were driving cars here from Chicago and Columbus Ohio.
 "Our first move was to sell some of our cars on hand. In our contracts with dealers they agreed to take a certain quota each year. each accord ing to his district We shipped to each dealer enough cars fo take care of ap proximateiY twenty-five days' sales During January we sold nearly Go, 900 cars, which showed us what we could do when we tried. and from then on sales steadily mounted above produe- ton. Assembling went on at all the branches, and on Jan. 23 we reopen ed the Highland Park plant and be 1 gan building up production there. But still sales kept ahead of production. Between Jan. l and April i we turn ed the s24-7eo. .0oo worth of stock into cslsh-put that down.

Letter Clears Up
Poison Mystery
Chicago Man Left Not Telling
OF Killing Wife and Own
Suicide.

Chicago, Aug. ia letter was
found yesterday which apparently
clears up the poison mystery" SUR
rounding the deaths OF Mrs. Fred
Kolze, John Demmer, husband OF
Kolze's hcusekeeper, and OF kolze.
The letter, written by Kolze July
IS, reveals that eight years ago he
gave poison to his wife, and shortly
after July IS, this year, committed
suicide by taking poison.
Mrs. Demmer has been under ar
rest and only recently was released
on bonds. A coroner's inquest over
the bodies has been set for August
IS. Kolze, in his letter, declares that
Demmer committed suicide. The
handwriting had been identified by
Mrs. Demmer, Elmer Kolze, an
adopted son of Kolze, and John Sea-
brook, a boarder in the Kolze home.
Seahrook found the letter last
night in button box on his dresser
Kolze, during his last illness, was
confined to Seabrook's room.
The finding of the letter confirms

Search for Second Body.

San Francisco, Aug. l3.-Constable
S. A. Landini of Colma, on his re-
turn to San Francisco early today
from Salada beach on the Pacific
ocean south of here, announced his
belief that another body is buried in
the immediate vicinity Of where the
remains of Father Patrick E. Hes
lin, murdered Catholic priest, were
exhumed last Wednesday night. This
with the unearthing of further evil
dence against William A. High
tower. held in connection with the
death of Father Heslin. were the
outstanding developments looking
to solution of the mystery.
Constable Landini said that late
last night he and others dug in the
sand near the priests grave but
were forced to abandon the search
because of coming fog. He stated
the search would be continued today
when the fog lifted. A strong stencil,
probably that of a decomposing
body, rose from a spot where the
digging was carried on, Landini
declared.
New Evidence
The new evidence against High
tower is in the form of tent pegs, guy
rope cinch blocks and other articles
dug up in the sand around the grave
OF Father Heslin. These tent acces-
sories, according to the police, fit a
small tent secretly removed by them
from the hotel room of Hightower
who led the authorities to the priests
body for the announced intention OF
securing the $4,000 reward offered
for its recovery.
The tent pegs and cinch blocks
were recovered from sand ledge
above the priests grave to
which H:gsAewer led authorities last
Wednesday night. .
1t was further pointed out by the
police that the tent found in High
towers room was full of fine, gritty
sand and was conspicuously marked
in large pencil printed letters:
Tuberculosis"
Form Tent Outfit
Planks and boards, other than
those located by authorities the
morning following the exhuming OF
Father Heslin's body, have been
found buried at the scene. it was
stated. When collected all these
articles are said to form complete
tent outfit.
Digging at the grave also revealed
additional papers and currency be.
longing to the priest. They included
a California state hunting license, an
automobile license, bank receipts and
a SIS and a $40 bill. Some of the
papers and both bills had been
pierced by bullets. The dead priests
hat also was found.
Compare Lettering.
Police handwriting experts have
made a comparison of the lettering
on the tent with that of the original
letter received by Archbishop Ed
ward ]. Hanna demanding $4,000
ransom. The experts stated there
was a startling similarity, especially
in the letters "r," "b" and l."
Ten pieces of fish cord found near
the grave were said by police to be
identical to the cord found wrapped
around bomb contrivance taken
from Hightower's room Id with
which he said he was experimenting.
One of the pieces of string had been
passed through tubular explosive
and so buried that if the string had
been jerked the cap would explode.
Police Continue Search.
While these new developments
were reported, plans we're complete
for the funeral of Father Heslin
from St. Marys cathedral here to-
day. Last night the body lay in the
cathedral and service for the dead
attended by hundreds, was held.

Geraldine Farrar

In Friends Gossip
Stage Folks Find Significance
In Announcement That Star
Will Tour Pacific Coast
With Baritone.

New York, Aug. l3.-Stage folk
who have been hazarding opinions
on the cause of the estrangment be-
tween Lou Tellegen, theatrical star,
and Geraldine Farrar, opera singer,
whom he is suing for a separation,
professed to find significance in tho
announcement that she will tour the
Pacific coast this fall with Antonio
Scott. Metropolitan opera baritone.
A one-time rumor that Miss Far
rar and Scott were to be married
was recalled. 1t was noted that
they have passed their vacations in
Paris coincidentally and that they
were much in each others company
abroad.
To Tour West Coast.
For long time l have had no
operate association with Miss Far
rar," Scott said. 1T is true she IS
to join me on this tour. Arrange
ments were made for the enterprise
through her business manager,
Charles Farley, OF Boston.
The tour will take us through
California, Oregon and Washington.
1t will end in time for Miss Farrar
to take up her Metropolitan engage
ment ] will leave New York Sep
tember 5 for Seattle, where the tour
will begin. Miss Farrar will start
week later"
Remains Secluded.
Miss Farrar remained secluded
from the public yesterday. Reports
place her in various points in Long
Island, in the suburbs to the north
of New York City and in New Jer-
sey. She is also persistently re-
ported to be at her home in this
city. 1t has been established that
she has not been at her summer
camp at Chateaugay Lake, N. Y,
since her break with Tellegen. The
camp was closed 10 days ago, when
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Sydney
D. Farrar, departed for New York
City on receiving a telegram. Their
trunks and those of Miss Farrar
were shipped to the Pacific coast.
Tellegen was busy rehearsing his
role as the lover of Il women in his
