leave HUNT UP TO
THE CANADIANS
Authorities Still Investigating
Deaths on California Ranch

Los Angeles, Sept. 10 LP-The
hunt for Gordon Stuart Northcott
and his mother. Mrs. Louisa North
colt. was left to Canadian authori-
ties today as officers here broadened
their investigation of the Northcott
murder farm case" in search of evil
dence that possibly more than four
boys were tortured and slain in this
vicinity.
The search for Northcott and his
mother was speeded when River
side, Calf. authorities. armed with
what they declared was conclusive
proof OF Sayings on the farm. issued
murder complaints.
Although the complaints were
based on the finding of bones Of one
unidentified youth. the Riverside Of
ficers said they were confident that
the number of boys made the vic
tins of ill treatment and staying on
the farm would exceed the four
named by Is year old Sanford Clark,
Northcott's nephew. who has ac-
cused his uncle of the crimes.
Young Clark yesterday led officers
to cabin in Mint Canyon, which he
said his uncle rented and which the
police believe may lead to discovery
of additional evidence. The officers
found in pile of charred debris two
pair of boys shoes identified a. hav-
ing belonged to boys of to II
years Fire had left only the toes of
another pair OF shoes.
Identify Bones
The first positive evidence Of the
CORPUS deficit" in the investigation
came in the identification of bones
dug up on the farm as being human
bones.
Los Angeles paleontologists re-
ported some of the bones uncovered
on the farm were ankle. finger, leg
and skull bones of juvenile human
beings.
Belief that young Northcott might
have resorted to feminine dress as a
disguise was based on reports from

LOOK TO Coolidge
7OSTOP TROUBLE
Railroad Men Appeal to The
Chief Executive

Chicago. Sept. - R@Represen-
tatives OF IS western railroads and
5000 trainmen and conductors now
look to President Coolidge to ex-
pedite settlement Of wage differ
ences between them.
The federal board OF mediation.
which has been attempting to recon-
cile opposing demands of the unions
and railway officials for the past
week. announced yesterday that no
adjustment of wages and the work
Ing rule had been reached.
Two Months Delay
No definite official action can be
taken for two months. officials ex-
planned. although the trainmen and
conductors have voted in favor OF
a strike. If President Coolidge
should intervene and appoint fact
finding commission. under the rail-
way labor act, the special board
would have 80 days to investigate
and report. II such a report were
made, the unions would lie compel
led to wait another 80 days before
acting. If the president should de-
eide to refrain from taking a hand.
the unions might act at once.
Increased wage demands varying
from 10 to is per cent were made
by the unions. while the roads were
willing to allow increases OF IL
per cent. On the working rule,
which the railroads have sought to
eliminate, the unions have refused
to arbitrate, claiming that its elm
nation would mean Is per cent
reduction in salaries.
]. w. Higgins, who represented
the western carriers, explained the
failure to arbitrate as follows:
This public should understand
that the failure to settle the con-
troversy between the western rail-
ways and their conductors and
trainmen has been entirely due to
the rejection by the labor organiza-
tons of the two different proposals
of arbitration.
"One of these proposals was made
by the conference committee OF
managers representing the railways.
The other was drawn up by the
United States board Of mediation.
and was accepted as fair basis of
settlement by the presidents Of the
order of railway conductors and tho
brotherhood Of railway trainmen.
but was repudiated by the general
committees Of these organizations.
Higgins Talks
The unwillingness Of the unions
general committees to accept the
boards proposition was described by
Mr.. Higgins as "a refusal to accept
any fair proposition involving ar
bitration."
E. P. Curtis. representing the
conductors. explained the arbitra-
ton failure thusly:

Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1878, the
needs for a laxative were not rs
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives. ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty Of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
les and purges for the relief Of con-
stipation which DR.. Caldwell did not
believe were good for human be-
ings to put into their system. So he
wrote prescription for 4 laxative
to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in hts practice,
and which he put In drug stores in
1892 under the name OF Dr.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vege-
table remedy, intended for women,
children and elderly people, and
they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven it's worth
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions of bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the confid-
ence of people who needed 1t to get
relief from headaches. bilousness.
fiatulence. Indigestion, loss of appe-
tite and sleep, bad breath, dyspep-
STA. colds and fevers.
Millions of families are now new
er without DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. and if you will once start
using it you will also always have
a bottle handy for emergencies.

know that the most Of it Is bought
