PatricK r1eslin, Colma priest, came to his death either by blows on the head which fractured his skull or by two gum shot wounds" was returned by the coroner's jury today. William A Hightower, who led the police to the priests grave along the ocean, is in jail, charged with murder. His name was not mentioned in the verdict.
 Police today. expressed the belief that no such person as Dolly Mason. who Hightower said told him where the grave could be found, is in exist ence. They say they are of the opinion that the woman was creation of Hightower's mind, and was given many of the attributes of Doris Shir- ley, his former companion. She has told all she knows about the case. they added, and ifs no longer under detention.
 The police investigation sought the aid of scientific instruments today. Hightower was subjected to cross ex- animation while instruments re- corded his heart action and respira- ton when asked leading questions.

By Associated Press

London. August 17.--Scores of un- employed former service men are re- porting daily to the Spanish com srlate here for enrolment in the Foreign Legion of the Spanish army. Men accepted are directed to report to the Spanish transport ,Almirante Lobo, which is due to sail for Spain tomorrow.
 Information which led to this re- cruiting is said to have been circu- lated secretly among the unem- ployed. Applicants for enlistment are asked only two questions, Can you fight?" and will you fight?"
 Although the men are informed of the dangerous nature of the pros- pective campaigning against tribes men in Morocco, they readily enlist in view of the inducements offered. These include a bonus ofb 700 peso tas for a five-year enlistment and 400 pesetas for four-year enlist ment. Other attractions are eligibil- ity for medals, decorations and pro- motion, to commissioned rank, as well as daily pay of four and one- half pesetas upon final acceptance at the headquarters of the foreign legion in Ceuta. Morocco. 'is
 Volunteers rejected in Ceutra are promised return transportation. It is stated that the number of enlist ments acceptable for the foreign legion is unlimited.

 The Passing of Dividends
 | The passing of these dividends, re- flecting as they do readjustments | which are now in progress, repre- sent causes which originated a year or two ago. They do not represent sudden or emergency conditions of the kind which in the past have pre- oeded by a few days the outbreak of panic. While these great corpAra- tons whose solvency is unquestioned and whose industry is among the most important of any operating in the United States are passing dlvi- | dends or procrastinatins the pay | ment of them, there are at the same 1 time many evidences that prosperity has already begun. These things l which the corporations have been compelled to do are no more than clearing away bad conditions which were established in the closing days of the war and continued throughout the first year after the armistice. | The president of the Sugar com pany, Earl D. Babst, in a few words of explanation setting forth the req sons why 1t was deemed the better part to pass the dividends also said that conditions have improved re- gently and intimated that he has no doubt of continued improvement. But dividends cannot be paid upon imme- diate improvement. They must have been earned in the past and because they were not earned it was inevita- ble that they be not paid.
 MT. Babst is not alone in his view thaS conditions are improving It is an opinion commonly held by our in .dustrial leaders, and it is certainly the opinion held by those who have gained authority as financial lead CTS. Some go so far as to predict as Judge Gary has already done that we are soon to, enter the greatest era of prosperity the world has ever seen. That prediction was recently made by Postmaster General Hays. It was clearly intimAted in some re- marks which were made by Judge Lovett of the Union Pacific Railroad is held by A. c. Bedford, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil com pany of Nav Jersey
 A Building Boom
 The fnsistent and immediate need of building construction Is unques- tionably causing the beginning of very great activity in this industry. Much of this activity is made in New York city. w. ogden Armour, who Is known to be cautious in the making of statements for publica- ton, Is reported to have said a day or two ago that the leaders In his in- dustry believe that the tide of busi- ness has changed from ebo to the be- ginning of flood. And J. Leonard Replogle found. while making inves- tigations in Europe beginning about May I. that industrial and other con. ditions are so improving there as in- directly at least to be of benefit to the United States.
 These statements and others are made at a time when the action of the American Sugar company and of other corporations in passing divi- dends would, if unexplained. lead to the conviction that business condi- tions continue to be very bad. What the corporations have done in the way of dividend action represents, however, not present-day conditions. but those which prevailed from the closing of the war until early spring of this year.
