CALLED ID DOOR
 THEN SHOT DEAD
Los Angeles Man Is Mysteriously
 Murdered e

Los Angeles, Nov. 1.-The iden- tity of the person who shot and kill ed Harry l. Katz, musician, art col lector, real estate operator and pur- veyor of diamonds to the motion pic ture colony, as he opened the door of his apartment In residence dis trict here last, remained as much of a mystery today as 1t was few minutes after the shooting.
 By following up the threads of the mans various activities police hoped to discover a motive for the staying. The results of night of investiga- ton left unsettled the question whether money, diamonds, a woman, or disputes centering about a Ger man-bult yacht lay at the bottom of the killing.
 Katz died of .32 calibre revolver wound in the neck a moment after tenants of the apartment house heard a shot and came to his assist nnce. Four witnesses told police they heard a man running out of the building.
 Acouaintances of the slain, man revealed that he had purchased for s50,000 the apartment house in which he lived, paying most of the purchase price in diamonds; that he had bought 8 German built yacht about three months ago, also with diamonds; that men he employed on that yacht had quarreled with him over money due them; that he had numerous women callers; that he was in some sort of financial diff1- culty and was planning to sell his yacht; and that he habitually car ried precious gems about with him, finding buyers in the motion picture colony here.
 On Katz's fingers when he died were diamond rings; diamond stickpin was In his cravat; other gems were found In his pockets. The presence of these valuables on his person indicates that robbery was not the motive for the staying.

COST OF NEW R. R.
 STATION sl,OO0,OOO
Road Not Inclined to Invest So
 Much Money

If the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad finds It impossible to build a station for New Britain on the main line, which would in- yolve an expenditure of a million dollars, the New Britain and Berlin stations will be improved, according 10 a statement made by C. L. Bardo' superintendent to the committee or the Chamber of Commerce and com- mon council yesterday. This re- port was made to the sub committee of the general committee which met at the Chamber of Commerce rooms last evening.
 Councilman r. S. Caldwell, who introduced the resolution into the common council and who was with the party that went to New Haven to see Mir. Bardo stated that 1t was his plan to purchase from the Cremo Brewing Co. property north of the Newington avenue crossing, fill in the lowlands with rubblsh from the factories and eventually raise it to building level. The plan included the extension of Jubilee street into Newington by bridge and the elimination of the Newington avenue grade crossing, he said.
 President F. NJ. Holmes of North & Judd Mfg. Co.,, who was with the party, spoke on the expense of the project and said 1t was not the policy of the railroad company to invest large sums of money in new stations at this time, since the au- tomobile is cutting into the railroad business deeply. He said it would cost a million dollars, according to Mr. Bardo. to build the new station here. He stated that MT. Bardo had agreed to put the plans in the hands of the engineers and would ask them to look into 1t. If the project does not go through the New Britain and Berlin stations will be improved.
 President Joseph R. Andrews of khe Chamber of Commerce and Mary E. Curtin, secretary, expressed them selves as satisfied that the company will do everything possible to i'm prove conditions in New Britain.

MANY THEORIES FOR
 MURDER ADVANCED
Nine Cars Blocked Traffic While
 SlayerS Escaped

Chicago, Nov, 11.--Gang rivalry, beer runners feuds, gambling trou- bles and a fight for lieutenants of rival gangs over a woman were the ories followed by police today in their search for the three men who yesterday shot and killed Dion o'Bannion, notorious gunman and gangster, in his flower shop,
 While they sought Mike Carrozo, labor leader, and Margaret Collins, pretty blonde, involved in fight eight months ago with Louis Altiere, and John Bates, alleged lieutenants of O'Bannion, the police took pre- cautions to prevent more killings in reprisal. '.
 All known enemies of o'Bannion questioned after the shooting had been released today when they sat- isfied investigators they had no con nection with it. But as police in- ouiry progressed 1t was disclosed that more than the three men who fled after firing six bullets into O'Bannion may have been involved In the actual staying.
 2S Men Involved
 A theory that possibly 2S men, using nine automobiles, effectively blocked traffic in the vicinity of the florist shop while the slayers escaped in their automobile was evolved af- ter witnesses were questioned. The blockading automobiles. given scant attention at the time paused at street intersections only long enough to permit the three men to speed away, the hypothesis held.
 Through the night detectives and states attorneys questioned suspects later releasing them. Among them were Herschie Max and Davie Miller all sworn enemies of O'Bannion While they expressed satisfaction at his death, they denied connection with it. O'Bannion had been accus. ed of bombing Henscie Miller's dry cesnjng plant and of attempting tc shoot to death Herschie and Dave in front of a downtown theater.
 Earl Weiss, John Torrio, Vincent Druccs, Altiere and yankee Schwartz. all frequently questioned in connection with hi-jacking and beer running troubles, were ques' tioned and freed.
 Search today also was being maoe for David Lofts, chauffeur at the flower shop, who communicated ar automobile and pursued the slayer' and had not been seen since.
 Morgan A. Rollins, police chle1 declared the death of O'Bannion rid Chicago of fits arch criminaLI'
 Was Arch Criminal
 .I don't doubt that O'Bannior was responsible for at least 25 mur- ders in this city," he said
 Often under suspicion and ques- tioned, O'Bannion never was tried for murder. Occasionally when he was named in connection with kill ing, he would appear voluntarily.
 Why, I'm florist" he would say If I've ever been in the booze racket, I'm out now"
 That was his statement when questioned in connection with the deaths of Maybelle Exley Duffy and John Duffy, whose deaths remain unsolved. Similar statements were his when authorities asked him about the death@ of alleged beer runners and gunmen.

disparity between prices of commodi-
ties IN the different stages OF produc-
tion and distribution. The longer
these contrary movements persist, the
more difficult it will be for employer
to operate at a profit, and the strong
er will become the resistance to furth-
er wage advances.
The tendency toward curtailment of
profits has become increasingly evil
dent in the last few months. Reports
OF industrial corporations for the frsl
quarter of this year show a general
downward trend OF net income.
While this is partly due to the recess,
sion in trade volume, its principal
cause is the en~crOachment of high
wage scales and declining commodity
prices on margins CT profit.
Factors in Wage Adjustments
The anomaly in present conditions
lies not so much in the relative posi-
tons of wages and prices as in the
directions of their movements. Ris-
ing wage scales normally exert a
strong upward pressure on the price
level, both by increasing the demand
for customers goods and by raising
the costs of producing them. At the
same time, declining commodity prices
tend to lower wages by making it IN
profitable to employ labor at existing
levels.
Such readjustments, however, are
not usually accomplished without diff
fculty. Il the present decline in com
modify prices continues, wage reduc-
tions in many cases will be inevitable.
Some significant downward revisiOns.
in fact, have already been made. Re-
~sistance to such reductions may in
duce considerable unemployment in
some industries which could be avert
ed if the workers should recognize
the necessity of revising wage scales
to conform to the movement Of prices

packing is especially important with
thick, pasty mixtures, such as corr
and sweet potatoes.
Tomatoes and fruits are canned
more easily on account of the acid in
them and do not shrink so much dur
ing canning. 1t is possible to pack
them directly into the can, but in
this ease they should be covered with
juice or strip boiling hot. Even these
may be heated to boiling and filled
into the can, in which case a much
shorter processing period is possible.
The department recommends that
the nonacid vegetables, such as aspar-
agus, string beans, Lima beans, corn,
greens, Okra, peas and sweet potatoes,
be canned only in the pressure Gamer
Fruits and tomatoes may be process
sed in a water-bath amer

by the fact that the great cash cut in
the face of the terrace by the slump
winch took place on July 4th Of last
year is now entirely healed and filed
in with fresh formation. Back of
Jupiter, a spring marked on old maps
as Butterfly Terrace has increased its
activity, first resumed on a small
scale two years ago, until it is now
one OF the really outstanding springs
OF the formation. Another new spring
that began activity at the same time,
and Is as yet unnamed, back of Mound
Terrace, Is becoming very large and is
daily covering new territory with its
POOLS. This whole area. between
Mound Terrace and the new spring
seems to be one of change and prob
ably of increasing activity. The flow
at Angel Terrace has almost ceased,
out a new spring is active behind and
above it. Minerva Terrace, which has
been less and less active for several
years, is still further diminished. Hy-
men Terrace, the lowest of the ter
races, has been the scene of much
shifting of the flow in recent years,
and the present season again sees the
water following a new course.
Geysers in general do not change
their activities so rapidly as do the
hot springs of limestone regions like
Mammoth, and for this reason there
is less to report about the geyser
basins. There seems to be som ir-
regularity in the eruptions of Old
Faithful and sOme of the larger geys-
ers, but whether this is due to the
dry weather, and whether or not il
will persist during the entire season
is a matter Of conjecture.

HOT PACK CANNING NOW
CONSIDERED BEST METHOD

Hot-pack canning is one of the re-
concentrations made by the Bureau
of Home Economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in its most
recent publication on home canning.
The reason for this recommendation
is that studies in the department have
shown that it takes much longer than
was formerly supposed in the ase of
certain vegetables for the material
at the center of the can to reach the
temperature of the Gamer. A short
precooking of the fruits and yege-
tables to be canned shrinks them and
makes it possible to fill the jars with
the material boiling hot. This hot
