in her cellar. There's apparently no
motive for the suicide. Nobody knows
definitely whether she had much money
or not, or where she kept it. Naturally
nobody can say she has been robbed.

Saturdays Mystery Solution

sHARvEY HUNT concluded from the
circumstances in the case Of the
Judgment of Solomon that the
fake" doctor. whichever Of the two
she might be. was an agent Of the
{Bolshevik government sent on the trail
sof the real DR.. Iskewski, who had
ssmuggled out of Russia the $500 900 in
srold belonging to former members of
that country's nobility.
He had two reasons for feeling GER
stain that the impostor was the first
Sclaimant.
One of these was the fact that lie
Sshowed credentials from the Bolshevik
government. This of course. was not
ssufiicicnt to convict him in the mind of
Sthe criminal investigator, for it was not
sunreasonablc TO suppose that the doctor
tcould have acquired the credentials of
Identity before he planned the break out
OF the country. But. taken with the
other reason, it confirmed his opinion.
This other reason was simply the fact
that he was the first claimant. Ench
man had denied suspicion that hc was
being followed or impcrsonatcd. 1t
therefore followed that the real doctor.
} Whichever one he was. expected no one
: else to try TO seize the gold. and would
have no particular motive for hasten
Ing TO the express office. On the other
hand. the impcrsonator would have
every reason to try to present his claim
ahead of the other man.

MEMORIAL DAY


Next Monday, May 30, is Memoir
ial day. The Both of May has long
been set aside as day in which to
honor the soldier and sailor dead.
Originally designated in northern and
western states rs time for patriot
ic exercises in memory of the Union
dead of the Civil war, the day came
into general favor as fitting occasion
for honoring all who have gone be-
fore, and the laying of floral tributes
upon the graves of the departed by
loving friends and relatives who are
left behind.
Now, within the last three years,
Memorial day has taken on added sig
nifcance in that at this time we also
are called on to honor the memory Of
those American boys who lost their
lives in the world war
Observance of Memorial day should
not be left entirely to patriotic or
Plantations, but the whole citizenry
should unite in tribute to the depart
ed 1t is indeed in line with duty that
observes Memorial day.

MOUNT RAINIER

Mount Rainier, in western Washing
ton, is to retain its name. That is,
if the National Geographic board has
anything to do with it. The name by
which the mountain should be known
has long been in dispute. The snow
capped peak, standing prominently
among the Cascades, is visible from
Seattle and Tacoma, Seattle has al
ways insisted On the name of Mount
Rainier, for the peak, while Tacoma
has contended the peak should be cal
led Mount Tacoma. Yet the old mount
ain has silently stood, undisturbed
by the wrangle over its cognomen.
The mountain has been term
ed Mount Rainier for 1870
years, by practically all save
Tacoma people. Quite recently, how
ever, new name was picked for the
peak, that of Mount Lincoln. A dis
pute arose, and finally the matter was
referred to the National Geographic
board, with headquarters at Wash
ington, d. c. This board was to pass
on the name.
The board voted unanimously to re-
tain the name of Mount Rainier, and
by such, lit is to be hoped, it will
henceforth be exclusively known.

RAILROADS WILL
GET OUT OF HOLE.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-An Opt
mistic view of the railroad situation
was expressed by Secretary Of Com
merce TO-DAY. He stated that he had
hopes that the railroads would be able
to pull themselves out of their present
financial depression.
The secretary said that it might take
two years for the railroads to get back
to a normal basis, but he expressed con
fdence that the present situation would
right itself without any drastic depar-
ture from the present railroad policy.
The secretary, who has announced his
opposition to government control OF the
railroads, stated there appears to be
constant pressure for naturalization of
the railroads. r-
He said he believed that new weight
is being added to this sentiment by the
railroad security holders, who were be-
coming worried over their investments
as they find the price of the securities
dropping and the railroads facing a
grave financial situation.
The attitude of the carriers in show
ing a willingness to accept lower re-
turns, ~ has been evidenced by the
voluntary freight reductions made by
some railroads on some commodities
is an encouraging sigh, the secretar,
believes.
While not prepared to make any def
mite statement with regard to the re
duction of wages, the secretary indi
caed that he believes the question OF
wage reductions and rate reduction.
must be considered together.
The question Of wage reductions
must be carefully studied, according t.
Hoover, who is of the opinion thu,
among some ella sses of railroad worker,
there is still need for an upward re
vision of pay.
