SCIENTIST ADVANCES NEW
 THEORY FOR FINDING ORE

Minneapolis. A University of Minnesota professor believes his theory of the way ores are deposited in the ground and places where they may be found will be accepted as law in geologic science. He is Dr. W. H. Emmons, head of the de- partment of geology.
 The theories which Dr. Emmons has worked out during 20 years of research have attracted so much attention that he has been asked to explain them before the Institute of Mining and Metallurg- ical Engineers and the Society of Economic Geology, both meeting in New York soon.
 Complete mineral veins are or iginally formed" Dr. Emmons de- clared, ''by hot water bubbling up from inside the earth along the face of underground masses of hot rock pushing toward the surface. These hot springs contain various metals in solution which are de- positeed along the course of the stream of water in the inverse or der of their solubility.
 Thus. the metal that is least soluble will be deposited first and will he found near the bottom of the vein.''

probing would probably reveal
some underhand work on the part
of Mudville's opponents. The pub

'F0RGETS CYNIC
CODE is KILLED
Safe Cracker and Outlaw
Among Outlaws Slain
In Revenge.

San Francisco.-Clyde billiard,
Beau Brummel safe-cracker. outlaw
among outlaws, and feared for his
trigger-fnger, lived by strangely
cynical code:
Never accept any man as your
friendI"
Forsaking that, code billiard
died recently, bullet in his brain,
fired by an unknown hand.
With his death, San Francisco's
underworld chortled. In the dank,
smelly places where criminals
planned and piled their trade there
were smirks that bespoke a grim
jest.
For the underworld had won a
long and cunning race with the po-
lice to IDEAL Justice to this self
styled leader of it's realm.
1t had evened the score with
Clyde billiards too-well-known au-
tomato.
Long ago the dapper '1ady's-man-
crook" had set cold lead as the pen
atty for those who should seek to
cross his path, and he paid the
same price.
They found his body, face down.
In the dirt alongside the Skyline
boulevard south of San Francisco,
early on the morning of Septem-
Der 20. A bullet wound was in the
back of his head. Clyde billiard
had never had a chance.
Half mile distant, crawling on
her hands and knees through the
brush, blood streaming from bull
let wound in her temple, they
found Gladys Fleming.

billiard had gone the way he
had sent Gene Bowen, ex-convict
and member of the formers gang
of master craftsmen, in a Green
street apartment on the night of
August 5.
Gladys Fleming, by chance of
fate, had taken the same medicine
that billiard meted out to the
dashing Dorothy Wilson on the
same night he killed Bowen-a bull
let in the temple. Both women
lived.
s.A.E Score Is Tied.
So the score, in the main at least,
was tied, so far as the underworld
went. But this same underworld
was now a good jump ahead of the
police.

cornered Jim Fleming, second hus
