Dentists Burned
Motor Car, Not His

Roseburg, Ore, July 16.-The
headless body found near here last
Wednesday beneath the wrecked
and burned automobile of Dr.. R. M.
Brumheld, local dentist. was identi-
fed today by J. T. Russell and Ed
Russell as that of their brother, Den
mis-, a laborer who lived here.
A barber often patronized by the
dentist, testified before the coroner
that bit Of human scalp found near
the body was not that of DR.. Brum-
field, who has not been seen for sew
eral days.

in her original declaration that the
body was that of her husband and
that charges of murder laid against
him in a warrant issued last night

to be blood on the pavement at a
point near where Ora and Kenneth
Ronk, brothers; said they heard two
shots the night before the body was

Details of Trip
To Canada Told
In Stillman Case
Witness Describes First Meet.
ing Between Defendant and
Indian Guide Named As
Correspondent.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July To-.
Details Of the first meeting of Mrs
"Fifi" Potter Stillman and Fred X
Beauvais were given Friday by H.
Phelps Clawson OF Buffalo on cross
examination by Counsel William
Rand Of counsel for James A. Still
man at the hearing before Referee
Daniel ] Gleason.
Mr.. Clawson said Mrs. Stillman
first met Beauvais, whom Mr.. Still
man has named as correspondent,
while Mrs. Stillman. Miss Anne Still
man, bud" Stillman and CIawson
were on vacation at Lake Coch-
aigney, Canada, in November, 1916.
Mr.. Clawson said Beauvais was one
of three hired guides for the trip
and naturally assumed leadership be-
cause he was the only one of the
three who could speak English.
Clawson said that the family lived
in log cabin on this trip and
Beauvais and the other two guides
in tents. He said the party usually
split on hunting and fishing trips,
each with a guide. Mrs. Stillman,
he said, seldom went on these trips,
because she was not feeling well at
the time. Mr.. Stillman, he said,
was not there.
The hearing was cut short by the
illness of John F. Brennan, Mrs.
Stillman's chief counsel. who de-
veloped a fever last night after his
return to his home in Yonkers. 1t
was decided to adjourn the hearings
until Monday and Tuesday, July Is
and 26. Mr.. Clawson was cross
examined by Colonel Rand from
1880 in the morning until ! o'clock
in the afternoon, and was said to
have remained mistaken on the
main point of his testimony that Mr..
Stillman was with Mrs. Stillman sew
eral times at their country home at
Pleasantville during January, 1918.
The only two new witnesses Of
the day were Patrick Torpey and
John ]. Cronin, both former chauf-
feurs for "Mrs. Florence H. Leeds" :"
Torpey, who drove the car for
"Mrs. Leeds" from December, 1919,
to August, 1920, identified q photo
graph of Mrs. Leeds" as that Of the
woman who had employed him, but
said he could not identify photo
graph Of James A. Stillman as a
likeness of Franklin Harold Leeds"
Cronin, now detective in the
New York police department, identi-
fled photographs of Mr.. Stillman,
"Mrs. Leeds" and the baby, Jay

Harding In Favor
OF Amalgalnating
Air Department
President Would Place All
Military and Civil Branches
Under One Central
Authority.

Washington, July l6.-President
Harding favors the proposal to place
all the aircraft services of the gov
ernment, military and civil, under
one central authority. There has
been an impression that the presi-
dent was opposed to this plan and
that impression was emphasized
when Major General Menoher, chief
of the air service of the army, asked
the secretary of war to remove the
assistant chief who advocated the
amalgamation of army and navy
services.
1t was learned today, however,
that the president is heartily in fa-
vor of the proposed amalgamation
and that the joint reorganization
commission, which is engaged in
preparing plans for reorganization
of administration of the executive
branch of the government, is L.
clined to recommend the unification
of all the governments aircraft ac-
tivities.
The position of President Harding
in the matter is that amalgamation
will work for efficiency and economy.
One great difficulty pertaining to
the present separate aircraft services
that has impressed him is that there
is no systematic method Of awarding
contracts for the construction of air
craft One branch awards contracts
without regard to any other govern
ment aircraft organization and the
president believes that this is detri-
mental to the upbuilding of private
aircraft manufacture in the United
States.
Inference is drawn from what was
learned today of the presidents posi-
ton, that he is in favor of the ANAL
pamation of the War and Navy de-

Man Charged as Draft
Dodger Goes on Trial

Chicago, July 16.-Hans Jacob
Zimmerman Of Chicago, alleged draft
evader named in the government
slacker list, was brought to trial be-
fore a general court martial at Fort
Sheridan Friday. After brief ses-
sion, court adjourned indefinitely be-
cause of the inability of the trial
Judge advocate to present evidence
in a form acceptable to the court.
Capt. Lewis Mcbride, Judge advo-
ate, introduced various documents
used during the draft. They were,
'.owcver. mostly duplicate copies of
the original papers. The court, fol-
lowing objections by the defense
counsel, directed the Judge advocate
% procure the original or properly
autheticated papers.
Edward Maher, retained as de-
'cnse counsel, indicated that his de-
cnsc would be that Zimmerman had
ever received proper notification to
lcport for service.

COST OF PRODUCTION VARIES
Specialists Point Out FaIacy of Con-
sidering Average as Basis
for Figuring.

The fact that there is wide varia,
ton on individual farms in the cost
of producing any product has been
substantiated by recent cost surveys
conducted by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Because of this variation, the special
its point out, it is fallacy to consider
the average as representing the cost
Of production. For example, the aver.
age cost of wheat per bushel on the
4S1 farms studied by the specialists
last year was SOL, but more than
90 per cent of the farmers concerned
produced wheat at a cost above this
figure, ranging up TO an extreme Of
$500 per bushel. Similarly the aver
age cost of cotton for the So farms
studied was approximately % cents
per pound, yet almost 60 per cent OF
the growers had costs above this aver
age.
The department now gives the re-
suits of cost studies In the form OF
frequency tables in order TO show the
proportion of product that is pro-
duced at or below q given cost and
to call attention TO the Importance Of
a bulk-line cost rather than average
cost in relation to price.

WOMAN CRITICIZES HER SEX
Opinion That Women as Whole
Are Unreasonable.

women" says the average man in
his moments of irritation, "are un-
reasonable. They drive a fellow
mad"
And the same man is instantly
swept by such a hurricane of abuse
as TO make him sorry once more that
he has spoken.
There is no charge which the mod
ern woman resents more than that of
unreasonableneSs. She prides herself
on her cool head and capable judg-
ment. She expresses contempt Of
her sister of other times-an I'M
balanced creature, with no mind Of
her own about anything, nor desire TO
develop one. Yet, despite her pro-
fessed common sense. one wonders
now and then whether the modern
woman is actually as reasonable as
she imagines.
We stand up for our rights nova
days. We claim complete equality
with man; freedom to enter all his
empires, and even to govern them if
we feel disposed. Yet we aren't con-
tent with what we get.
He makes way for us; he gives us
our chance TO rival him in all that he
does; he mostly manages TO curb his
tongue when it would cry out fOllies
too bitterly All this we consider our
due and give no thanks for it.
