COLUMBUS, December 31.-Stains
found on personal belongings Of r. S.
McCoin, missing Henderson, N. c..
lawyer, were made by human blood,
Thomas Scully, assistant chief of Co.
lumbus detectives, announced today.
The stains were analyzed by DR..
James A. Beer, police analist.
When McCoins automobile was found
in local garage December 27, police
said that some Of the former North
Carolina State Senator's property was
strewn about inside the machine. in
Guiding one glove, several identihca-
ton cards, pair of eyeglasses and
a spectacle case and a number of can
celled checks. Several of the articles
and both the rear and front seats of
the car bore stains. and these spots,
when analyzed proved to be human
blood.
Disappeard December 22.
McCoin disappeared from North
Carolina December %. An anonymous
letter to an official OF that State said
he had been murdered by robbers and
buried near Hagerstown, Nd Searches
for the body have been fruitless up to
this time.
After the result Of the analysis was
announced today, Scully said Il have
no new theories in this case" He init.
mated that the murder theory was
uppermost in his mind, and that his
investigation will center on that angle
Scully and fellow officers. who have
been working on the mystery, were up
against mass of conflicting evidence
today. The fact that human blood was
found in the machine and on McCcin's
personal property made them lean to
the hands of hold-up men who drove
his car TO this city.
Evidence in Conflict.
On the other hand, they had leads
indicating that McCoin was here
Christmas eve. day after he was sup
posed to have been killed. This clue
came from Identification Of the police
photo of McCoin as the man who took
the car into the garage. Then there
was a report that man, resembling
McCoin, sought to pawn a watch and
an overcoat in a town near Columbus.
A thorough search of Columbus hotels
and rooming houses for the missing
man was fruitiess.
Scully received a new picture OF Nc
Coin from North Carolina authorities
today This was said to be late pho
tograph and a very good likeness Of
the former State Stnator. Detectives
took the picture to the garage where
the car was found and later to the
town where a man attempted to pawn
articles in the hope the Identification
angle could be cleared up.

get their 1888 license tags in yester-
days recordbreaking rush on the Bu-
reau Of Vehicles and Traffic will face
arrest if they venture onto the streets
in their automobiles after 8 o'clock to-
morrow morning
Although the official deadline" was
at first set for midnight, authorities this
morning decided upon an eight t-hour
extension to allow celebrants and
others out after midnight to return to
their homes, despite an order sent out
on the police teletype last night ex-
tending the time to January g.
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer

More than 5000 residents received
automobile tags yesterday between $50
m. and 1880 pm, record for one
days output OF tags. At 2 o'clock yes
in line with application blanks in their
hands, when further additions to the
line were stopped
Policemen trailed the line to prevent
newcomers from adding themselves to
it and it was almost 1880 pm. when
workers at the bureau had issued a
license to the final applicant.
The bureau was closed all day to-
day and will not open until Tuesday
morning, following the New Year
holiday. At the closing hour last night
approximately 100000 license plates
had been issued to District motorists,
5000 under the total issued last year

occasicned last night when a lieutenant
in the Traffic Bureau put the follow
ing general order OH a police teletype:
''Notice-The use CT 1892 tags has
been extended until midnight January
6, 1888"
Inspector L. I. H. Edwards said this
morning, however, that the order was
issued without authority and had been
countermanded.

Reflect Three Justices

Three members of the Minnesota Supreme Court
before the voters at the coming general election
Their not the primary ballot, but they
have opposition and the voters should make mis-
take It would be unfortunate for the state through
neglect of the electorate to lose the three
able and experienced jurists, Homer B. Dbe, I. M.
Olsen and Charles Loring.
Two of them are veterans of the bench. Justice
Dibell has served 33 years District Judge
Supreme Court Commissioner, and as an Associate
Justice. He has displayed ability independence and
proper concern for the rights of the common man.
Justice Olsen has come to his present high posi-
ton in the way with judicial service beginning
in 1906 rising by his recognized talents and industry
to the states highest court.
Justice Loring is comparatively new to the BENCH
but for number of years. since beginning practice
in Minnesota 33 years ago, he of the leading
attorneys of northern Minnesota. He entered service
in the World War; though beyond the draft age. More
than two years ago he was appointed Commissioner
of the Supreme Court, and when the voters in 1880
approved the increase in Supreme Court membership
from five to seven, Commissioners Olsen and Loring
elevated to equality with the other members of
the Court.

What Others Think

By C. R. Butler in the Mankato Free Press.

By C. R. Butler in the Mankato Free Press
Frenzied effort in opposition to a logical amend
tnent to our constitution would indicate last-mnute
desperation the part of seshly interested group
One w. D. Villars, of 1916 Grand Avenue 46
East Fourth Street, ST. Paul, is named the secre-
tary of Association Opposed to Amendment No. 1"
and sponsor of surprising piece of literature deal
ing with the income tax amendent, which has ap
peared on the streets in Mankato recently. Let us
consider here of the wild statements made in
that circular The quotations from the circular.
"The time has come when must again turn to
the constitution and rely it to homes from
confscation," says the circular. What the author
fails to realize is that that time is already past for
many farm home owners, whose homes might have
been saved to them through equitable distri-
button of the tax burden
Amendment No. would give the legislature the
right to add to already exorbtant bill by tax
ing your income and spending the revenue for new
and generally unnecessary functions of government"
says Mr.. Villars. The answer is that Amendment No.
a does not give the legislature one whit more tax
spending authority than it has. The authority
now lacking and to be conferred by the amendment
is the authority to levy progressive and graduated
taxes incomes and to provide for exemptions. The
proceeds from such tax cannot help but tighten the

A Wise Move

The Medical Society Of New Jersey
has set up a committee to limit the
designation Of specialist" to physi-
clans scientifically qualified to as
sumo 1t. When the committee has
completed its work, any doctor who
wants to practice as specialist must
submit his scientific and personal Gre
dentials for a strict examination, and
II he is turned down he must simply
list himself as general practitioner.
This ruling will appeal to the ordi-
nary citizen as exceedingly sensible,
worthy of emulation by other state
medical societies. The layman who
wants a specialist is, after all, more
or less at the mercy of chance. In
many localities any inexperienced
young sawbones, fresh from his in
ternship, may list himself as a Spe-
cialist, and his prospective patients
have no way of judging his qualifica-
lions. Such a scheme as this Of New
Jersey looks like very good way of
the situation.

A Real Hero

Sergeant Hilmer N. Torner, the ma
rine corps clerk who won a navy dis
tinguished flying cross for landing a
plane after the pilot had tainted,
seems to have had about as unusual
an experience as any airplane pas
senger ever had.
former had never taken any flying
lessons and knew, to all practical pur-
poses, nothing at all about plotting a
plane. So when his pilot tainted
while carrying him high over Camp
Kearny he prepared to use his para
chute. Then, rejecting that the pilot
would die in the crash that seemed
inevitable, he moved forward, drag
ged the pilot from the controls, flew
the ship about until he got the hang
of things, and then brought it down
in a safe landing.
Such presence of mind, bravery and
capability are we'll worth a decora-
ton. If the marine corps is producing
men like Sergeant Torner it is more
than living up to its reputation.

Parents Liability

The grand jurors of Kings county,
New York, presented a novel and in
teresting suggestion the other day in
a report on juvenile delinquency prob
lens handed to Judge Alonzo G. Nc
Laughlin.
Declaring that present laws govern
ing juvenile delinquency need drastic
revision, the jurors remarked:
I'VE recommend a law to enforce
compulsory morality in the home, to
the effect that parents and guardians
may be held responsible for the de-
linquent acts of children under their
care, not only in the childrens court
but in the magistrates court as we'll,
where they may be prosecuted and
fined"
There is certain amount of good,
sound common sense in that. Max
ing a parent legally liable for the mis-
behavior of his children ought to
make some empty-headed fathers and
mothers think more seriously than
they have ever done before about the
responsibilities of parenthood.

tins in the case of the prominent poll.
tlclan are diShonest-or else the emf
nent medical man makes extremely
bad guesses.
Occasionally some health officer or
physician still insists that exposure to
cold or wet somehow lowers resist
ance," whatever that may mean, and
advises that plenty of good wholesome
food, rest, sunshine, fresh water and
pure air will keep up your resistance.
But there is no scientific ground for
this. 1t is just an old Yankee notion.
Apart from immunity, which is spe-
cific and has no known bearing on
exposure to cold or wet, nobody knows
a thing about resistance; nobody
can even define such a state. It SIM
ply doesn't exist. If you or I happen
to have any immunity against any
one of the respiratory infections, there
should be satisfaction and comfort
in the knowledge, the certainty, that
no amount of exposure to cold or wet
or other discomforts can rob us of it.
We have this assurance not only from
scientific experiments but also from
all human experience, I believe.
1t will not be long now till all the
world recognizes that discomfort, at
the very worst, froStbite, is the only
harm anybody can suffer from eX-
posure to cold and wet. In anticipa-
ton of this state of popular enlight-
eminent the old timers in the profess
sion had better prepare to adapt their
theories and teachings to higher or
der of intelligence, lest the public
laugh at their quaint ideas.
