Chain of Circumstances
That Spelled Ruin.

cumstances which spelled ruin
Mr.. Elston, it was said Thursday
night, disappeared Tuesday morning,
but was found by detectives that eve
ming. Within a few hours. however,
he again disappeared and that was the
last seen of him. 1t is believed that
he plunged into the river lates that
night. He apparently had been suf-
fering under mental depression.
Failure of the government to under
take extensive development of the
Alameda, Cal, naval base project was
understood to have been cause of
great concern to him.
Mr.. Elston's hat and oyercoat were
found on the bank of the river about
the time the body was recovered. The
note found on the body said:
II am in a chain of circumstances
that spell ruin, although my ,ffense
was innocently made in the beginning.
/ hope all the facts come out. My
stay means embarrassment to ray dis
trict and to o worthy people, clean
and generous"
Mr.. Elston was elected to congress
az republican from the Sixth Cali
fornia district and had been MEM

NOW IS THE WINTER Of OUR
Discomfort MADE GLORIOUS
Big Copper, Zinc
Deal Goes Through

New York, Dec. l5.-(By the
Associated Press.)-A deal involv-
ing two of the most important met
al producing and refining companies
In the country was virtually COM
pleted today, when the largest indI-
viduai stockholders Of the Ameri-
can Brass company agreed, subject
to minor conditions, to sell out to
the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
paRy.
The terms of the Anaconda COM
pany include $50 cash and three
shares of Anaconda for one share
In American Brass.
Shares Of the latter company re-
Gently were quoted at $275 In the
open market, but the offer Of Ana
conda is equivalent to $500 on the
basis Of today's quotation OF $50
for Anaconda stock.

the largest individual consumer OF
copper, by Anaconda, the largest
domestic producer of copper, will
tend, it Is believed In trade circles,
to strengthen that industry.
The participants are: Charles
r. Brooker, chairman, and John e.
Coe, president OF the American
Brass company, and John o. Ryan,
chairman, and C.. F. Kelly, presi-
dent Of tho Anaconda Copper Min

ceptance of Anaconda's terms by
not less than ST per cent OF the
$f5,O0O, 900 outstanding stock of
the American Brass company.
Mr.. Ryan said that no financing
ether thar through Anaconda share-
holders would be necessary. There
will be no public offering Of such
new Anaconda securities as may
be needed to consum mate the ac-
quisition of American Brass.

WOMAN REVEALS
ADDED MOTIVE FOR
NUMBERING DOCTOR
Wife of Toy Manufacturer
Claims Physician Whom She
Shot Wrecked Her Life.

New York, Dec. 15.-Revealing more
and more of the load of anguish which
she said at last became unbearable
and drove her to take human life,
Mrs. Lillian s. Raizen Thursday night
supplied an added motive for sending a
bullet through the heart of DR.. Abra-
liam Gilickstein, in his Brooklyn home
last Saturday.
This, the young toy makers wife
confessed, was during the six years of
their intimacy, DIR. Giickenstein had
performed an operation which had rem
dered her incapable of motherhood.
Only after months of married life
with Mr.. Raizen, to whom she was mar
ried last May, she said, did she realize
the full extent of her misfortune, which
inflamed in her the desire for vengeance
upon the author of her unhappiness.
The young woman is awaiting trial on
charge of first degree murder.

Letter toExpIain

StevensvilIe, Dec. i5.-The bod
les of George G. Rice, his wife, and
Rice's two dogs, were found early
Thursday night at their ranch
home, five miles northwest of here.
The Woman's body lay in bed,

lived on their ranch the past 10
yars, were about go years old.

in the afternoon in special deIiv-
cry letter, which said:
"A. D. Stephenson: Please send
someone out to my place at once
and notify the coroner. Death
has come to US. Do not think too
meanty of me for this. Poverty

r. M. Coriey, who delivered the
letter, identified the handwriting
as Rice's. The two men hurried
to the Rice ranch. The house
was in neat order, they said, and
there appeared no reason to think
poverty existed there. On table
in the living room, the officials
found note in which the writer
requested that burial be made on
the ranch because lover here Is
good enough for me-" The note
also named the palIbearers desired
for the funerals.

with few persons and little is
known of their lives.
The coroner is expected to come
from Hamilton tomorrow morning.

THE AGRICULTURAL SITUATION

Continued from page two)
pie seem to think that tenancy is in
itself an evil Not necessarily so. AS
land advances tenancy increases
This has always been true every
where and it is not necessarily a bad
thing in itself The farmer who has
a limited working capital can far bet
ter afford to rent than to own after
the land has reached a fairly stable
value based on its productive power
Men are willing to invest their money
in land and accept very low rate of
interest because of the security of
the investment, but there are evils
which grow out Of the tenancy sys-
tenn which must be corrected.
If we are to make this self-sus-
tanning nation agriculturaly, as
President Harding put it in one of
his speeches, there is no time to be
lost in studying these great prob
lens. It is not a question of pro-
duction alone, it is question of the
farmer being able to sell what he
produces at price which will Justify
him in continuing to produce We
are the best producers in the world,
but our sales system is very bad in
deed, We must study everything
which influences both production and
price. We must look into the matter
Of competition from farmers of for
eign lands where the agriculture is
still being exploited and where the
standards of living are very much be-
low the standards which we demand
for our people. We must look into
world conditions, both of supply and
of demand. and produce more intelli-
gently and adjust our various crops
to the probable needs. We must
look into the administration of our
credit machinery. Those who con-
troll the finances of the country and
who have it in their power to influ-
ence, either directly or indirectly. the
extension of credit can exercise
large amount of control over the
prices of products. The same thing
is true of the administration of our
transportation systems. Through the
simple device of regulating the flow
of cars the prices of farm products
can be sent up or down at the will of
those who exercise such control We
had some costly experiences along
this line during the war.
In short, the people of the nation
must come to understand that our
prosperity as a nation depends upon
a prosperous and wholesome agricul-
ture.
I can not now speak in detail of
the many lines of work in the De-
partment of Agriculture. We have
here magnificent body of men and
a splendid organization. We are GO
ing to try to use the scientific and
practical knowledge of these men
wherever it can best be used to pro-
mote the agriculture of the nation
