HICHTOWER
MAY Be HELD
FOR MURDER
Police Suspect Man Who
Guided Party to Grave
of Slain Priest.

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. L.
Search went forward today for two
persons, a woman and a man, who
are believed to know how the body
of the Rev. Father Patrick Heslin,
Catholic priest, came to its shallow
grave on the desoIate coast south of
San Francisco, at midnight Wednes-
day night
The man is as yet unnamed. The
woman is called Dolly Mason, men
toned by William A. Hightower as
having given him the information
on which he based his successful
search for the priests body.
Police officers frankly said they
believed that in Hightower, held in
the Hall of Justice, here, they had
the major character in the affair
and indicated that filing of formal
charges against him was imminent.
"Hightower is a cool, calculating
individual" District Attorney
Franklin Swart of San Mateo county
said in a statement. He has an in
clination to be smart and appears
to think he is putting it over on US.
l think we shall break him down
SOON"
Wanted Reward.
Hightower, according to Captain
of Detectives Duncan Matheson,
when asked by him why he did not
first go to the police with his in
formation about the body instead of
to the residence of Archbishop Ed
ward ]. Hanno, replied that he was
out after the reward that had been
offered and that he believed if he
went first to the police, they, and
not he, would get the money.
Captain Matheson said that he
did not belfeve that HfghtoweF-ewas
the man who called for Father Hes
lin and took him away under pre-
tense that he was to visit a dying
man."
I'VE expect to locate that man
and have him under arrest before
Friday night" he said.

MANY CHANGES
IN NEW TAX BILL
ARE SUGGESTED
Work on Measure Is
Frequently Inter-

Washington, Aug. ia con-
ference of house Republicans CT
Monday to consider the tax revision
bill was announced today by Repre-
sentative Mondell, the Republican
leadre. 1t will decide on procedure
in house consideration of the meas
ure, expected to begin next We'd
nesday.
Washington, Aug. 12.-Further
delay in the revision or the tax law
was looked for today by reason OF
conferences between Republican
members of the house ways and
means committee and the senate
finance committee regarding the
American valuation provisions OF
the Fordney tariff measure. Work
on the tax bill was interrupted yes
terday by consideration of legisla-
tion by the house and some mem
bers of the revision committee
doubted that the bill might be com
pleted tomorrow night, as had been
hoped
Many changes in the bill remain
ed to be decided upon. Representa-
tive Bacharach of New Jersey
plans to renew his effort to lower
the income taxes paid by single and
married men having annual net in
comes of $4,000 or less. Mr.
Bacharach said he preferred that
rate on such incomes should be re-
duced from to per cent, but in
-; fof IaJ
an attempt would be made to in
crease the exemption by $500.
The committee already has
agreed tentatively to increase the
exemptions to heads of families
having dependents by 5000, for each
dependent.
Back Tax Claims.
Administrative features of the
new bill understood to have beer
agreed upon, include a provision
designed to simplify the process Of
settlement of back tax claims. The
time of settlement would be limited
to three years instead of five, ex.
cept that additional time might be
granted by the secretary of the
treasury. ---
Agreement also was said to have
been reached to give the secretary
authority to call in representative
of tax payers in an effort to sim
plify the present tax return forms
These forms are now drawn BY
treasury experts and it was sale
that committee members felt that Il

A woman in a small town asked her

the door and announced "Father's

BY the time the father arrived the
colonel was boiling with rage,
"What do you mean by keeping me

In general, seasons on big game
were shortened and hunting further
restricted. Buck laws were enacted in
Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and

Maine protected spike bucks and pre-
scribed that one of the two deer al

Tendency to Tighten Restrictions on
Hunting of Birds and Big Game ls
Shown in Federal and State
Laws for 1921.

WashingtOn.-A tendency to tighten
the restrictions on the hunting Of
birds and big game is noted in the
game laws for 1921, summary of
which, both federal and state, has been
compiled by the federal biological sur
vey. Among the notable changes made
during the present year was the
amending of the migratory bird treaty
act regulations with respect to bag
limits.
This amendment provides that the
daily bag limit of any person shall
now include "all birds taken by any
other person who for hire accompanies
or assists him in taking migratory

abuse of privileges under the regula-
tons regarding the prescribed daily

birds were killed by guides accom-
panying them.
Waterfowl Season.
The federal waterfowl season for
California was fixed from October /
to January Is, replacing the old sea
son Of October Is TO January 81, the
season now being the same under both
federal and state laws. Regulation O.,
governing the issuance of federal
scientific permits, was amended to
permit the issuance of limited and spe-
cial permits,
State legislation harmonized federal
and state laws on waterfowl and shore
birds in Kansas and Oregon, and on
waterfowl in Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island; Washington prescribed state
wide open season on all migratory
game birds from October ! to January
10, thus devlating from the federal
regulations, which supersede the state
law, east of the Cascade mountains,
where it will now be possible to hunt
migratory game birds only from Octo-
Der / to December 81, without violat-
ing either federal or state law; in
Idaho the open season on migratory
game birds has been shortened under
state law two weeks by opening Octo-
Der l, instead Of September 16, and
extending to December 81.
Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Ne
braska, Oregon and Washington enact
ed legislation similar to the federal
regulation prohibiting hunting from
airplanes. Colorado reduced the bag
limit on ducks from 20 to Is day,

Catch Of COG in Norway.

The catch of cod in Norway for the
season just ended is greater than in
any one OF the preceding four years.
However the value of the catch was
about 22O0O000 crowns, as compared
with a value Of 45,OOO,O0O crowns for
the 1920 season. The total number OF
fish caught in 1921 was 100000; the
1920 catch totaled 3SOO0O0O. The
selling price is considerably lower and
the high cost Of equipment and oils
makes the profit less than average,

At First AgricuIturists.
The size of the settlement site, as
1t can be imagined from the ruins,
the agricultural type of much of the
work in flint, such as the great spades
and hoes almost peculiar to that VI
entity, and the rich alluyial bottom
land combine to show tnat the Cah0-
kians were probably at first agricul-
turistS. They probably fshed and hunt
ed to some extent, but they, doubtless,
depended for their subsistence upon
their labor in the field and their sta
pie food was unquestionably corn.
1t is believed that the appearance
of the bison resulted in the abandon
ment of agriculture and the develop
ment Of the chase, with the result that
the community became nomadic and
gradually crumbled and dispersed TO
the four quarters of the continent.
Believed to Have Come From Mexico.
The preponderance of evidence so
far discovered is That the people of
Cahokia were worshipers Of the sun.
There Is so much about Cahokia that
Is similar to the works of the Aztecs
that the conviction is forced upon the
student that it was from Mexico that
these people came to the Mississippi
valley, bringing their religion, their
priesthood, their corn, their mode of
life and their middle order of print
tive civilization.
Even If the exploration Of the Caho-
kia mound is not followed by any i'm
portant discoveries, it is certain that
the control by the state will be given
greater momentum when the people of
Illinois are brought to a realization
of its archaeological value.
