BODY IS FOUND, BADLY BURNED; NOT IDENTIFIED Chicago Police Baffled by Circumstances—One Rumor Run Down CHICACIO, Auk. 17.—Conflict ing evidence confronted authori ties today In attempts to identify n woman slain yesterday near Crown Point, Indiana, amid baf flinR circumstances. The body was so badly burned, practically beyond recognition, that at tlrst it was almost impossible to get any due. At lirst the body was believed to be the young sweetheart Of Angelo Francisco, bank robber, who was shot to death, following a hold-up of a bank last Mon day. The girl's mother and sis ter partly identified some of the remnants of clothing but a phy sician reported tile slain woman was not a mother, while the missing girl had two children. The theory is that the aides (f Francisco might have taken the girl for u ride to thwart any attempt she might make toward implicating them in the robbery. The woman had been shot through tile head, then the body was burned.

Smith’s place the better part of 25 years, will be the scene of the official notification cf his President by the Democratic Party. Senator Key P.ttman cf Nevada (right) will fication address. I of business for, nomination as mike the noti ALBANY, Ahr. 17.- Within ti low days 100,000 persons wil gather in Capitol pafk tier* to wit ness the transformation of a state's chief executive Into a party’s choice for president. When (io>. Att-red E. Smith steps from the entrance to the capitol August 22 to deliver his speech of acceptance In response to Sen. Key Pittman’s official no tification of his nomination as the democratic presidential candidate, a subtle change will have taken place, perhaps not more in his own personality than in the atti. tude of the public towards him. Tito man wuo lakes his place beneath the batteries of flood lights, facing the microphones which will pick up till! sound of his voice and carry It to millions of unspen listeners, will be no longer A1 Smith of Oliver street, Tam many Hall, and the executive of fice In the capitol. He will be Alfred Emmanuel Smith, four times governor of the Empire state and first-ballot choice of the democrat ic party as its presidential candi date. He no longer belongs pe culiarly to New York national in terests and activities have claimed him. Selection of the steps of tin capitol as the scene for the noti fication ceremony was in keeping with the career of tlie nominee. Replete with national as well as state tradition, the massive stone building has been signally honored by the events which have occurred within Its walls or beneath Its shadow, but never before has it become the scene of an event of such political significance as the notification of a presidential can didate. For tlie better part of 25 yearB it has been the place of business of the democratic nomi nee. It was in 1904 that AJfred E. Smith, who previous to that time had been merely a clerk in the of fice of the commissioner of jur ors in New York City, first came to the capitol as an assemblyman. It has been reported that after the first term he was Inclined to came north from Ketchikan af er Mr. Kenzle completed a survey of the power sites under rmi' to the Zeller bach interests, which are now be ing surveyed by an engineering party in charge of Wendell Daw son, one o' the company engineers. All Data Favorable Preliminary data was favorably received by Mr George T. Cam eron and Mr. Harry Chandlar at a recent conference in San Fran cisco, Mr. KInzie told rhe Cham ber of Commcice todaj.

ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE NEW CHINESE TREATY. Dr. Julius Klein, Director of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, has prepared a statement explaining why the United States en tered recently into a new commercial treaty with China, abolishing old provisions which "have outlived their usefulness” and hamper rather than ♦lifeguard commercial intercourse. The new treaty, which accords to the Chinese complete tariff autonomy after January 1, 1929. so far as American trade is concerned, does not impair American trade interests in any degree, Dr. Klein stated. It does, however, give to China the right of levying such customs duties as she chooses upon her incoming or outgoing trade. After reviewing the facts of history and showing that China has progressed in the eighty years since the establishment of relations with Western Nations more than during the previous thirty centuries. Dr. Klein calls attention to a condition that is not generally known when he shows that even during the recent years of strife in China her trade has continued to increase. China’s imports have increased mort^ than 135 per cent, since 1915. The United States sold to China $130,000,000 worth of goods in 1926 as compared to an average annual sale of $31,000, 000 wortli of goods for the few years preceding 1915. Our share of China's imports have tripled since 1913. Dr. Klein noted the fact that “China now has hundreds of industrial plants of modern type,” mentioning the activity of textile mills, flour mills, iron works, electric plants, silk fila tures, chemical works, glass and porcelain fac tories, and others. He maintained that, taking our trade as a whole, the rise of factory pro duction in China, though curtailing our market for certain goods, would help us. "If we sell fewer textiles, we’ll sell more machinery,” he asserted, "and similar forces will operate in other ways, especially through the increase in buying power among the workers, and consequent lifting of liv ing standards.” It is admitted that the new commercial treaty with China, while practically recognizing the new Chinese Government, must he followed by another treaty, which is promised. Due to the fact that the Japanese felt so deeply chagrined over the circumstance of the commercial treaty, it is believed that Government will be consulted before the new treaty is entered into. GOV. SMITH AND DK. STRATON. Dr. John Roach Straton, sensational New York fundamentalist preacher, attacked Gov. Smith, declaring that he was the greatest foe of moral progress in the United States. The attack was made from his pulpit in a sermon at a regular Sunday evening service. Gov. Smith asked Dr. Straton to permit him to meet with him at the same church and before the same congregation and to discuss any particulars that Dr. Straton might present to sustain his charge and promised to answer any question that might be asked concerning his public or private career. Dr. Straton then suggested that they rent an audi torium and have a series of debates. In the meantime, Judge Black, chairman oi Dr. Straton’s Board of Trustees, gave out r statement declaring that his pastor was ah wrong, saying that Gov. Smith was the niosl loyal, cleanest, and most progressive man in public life. Then Dr. Straton refused to meet Gov. Smith in debate in his church, because tht church could not be used for political discussion Dr. Stratcn’s position, therefore, is that it is all right for him to assail a man's character untl public record in his church, but it is all wrong to. require him to make his charges good there To cap the climax, now comes evidence tc show that whiskey has been sold over the bat In a hotel belonging to Dr. Straton. PROTECTING CARRIER PIGEONS. The Popular Mechanics Magazine is authoritj for the statement that a sure-shot method hai been discovered by U. S. Signal Corps officeri for the protection of carrier pigeons. It sayi light bamboo whistles, strapped to the tails o the pigeons, are proving effective in protectinj them from hawks and other birds preying on thi useful messengers. The whistles blow of them selves as the pigeons fly rapidly along, and thi noise tends to frighten the birds of prey. Th plan Is an innovation in this country, but ha been used for many years in China. AN INTERESTING WOMAN. Mrs. John J. Raskob, daughter of an old Mary land family and stlil young in her early forties and pretty, though the mother of twelve children eleven of whom are living, Is given a lot o credit, or blame, for making a Democrat out o her husband, the Chairman of the Democratl ti __ _ National Committee and the maker of eighty mil lionaires. She declares that she has always been a very stanch Democrat, though she has saved her political speeches for her husband. She has taken no active part in politics and little in social or club affairs. She has given her time to rear ing her numerous children and to the manage ment of her two large llax farms on the East Shore—one of Maryland's most famous agricul tural sections. In the latter work she has been assisted by her elder children. They have made the farm produce profits. Before her marriage, Mrs. Kaskob was Miss Helena Springer Green and she lived in Wilmington, Delaware. Her people were all "well-to-do” and had been more or less active in Democratic politics in Maryland and Delaware. However, the interesting things about Mrs. Ilaskob are the twelve'children and her asso ciation with them in the home and on the farm rather than politics and ancestry. The Associated Press says Gov. Smith has completed the speech he will deliver to the committee that will notify him that he wus nominated for President at Houston. We guess that he will say yes. We suspect that just about the happiest man In the West is ”du Pont” Murphy. He has been an enthusiastic du Pont man and an enthusiastic Democrat ever since he was a boy Now he can be both without whispering to either. A Chicagoan was fined $300 and given three months in jail for toting a revolver. Chicago must protect her pride. The culprit ought to have staid by the machine gun. Juneau likes Secretary Jardine better than ever after reading his interview in The Empire. A Made-Over Party (New York Times.) How powerfully personalities affect the trend of party politics has long been the theme of historians. But seldom has one man so rapidly transformed Ihe objectives of a political organi zation as Alfred E. Smith has done in the case of the Democratic Party. Not until he was actually nominated at was the extent of his influence realized, past two years he had been growing The party was developing no other The death of Bryan, and the inability aspirant to wear the Bryan mantle, left Houston For the rapidly, leader, of any the Presidential Held to Smith. With the open ing of this year it was evident that no serious rival could arise. Evt>n to the moment of the convention there was sufficient anti-Smith strength to have denied the nomination of the Governor of New York Numerically there were enough delegates who wanted a more traditional type of candidate. But the lack of one, and the steady heat of the fact that to deny Smith two thirds after he had attained a majority would mean certain defeat in November, removed the harriers. Delegates and those who choose them are politicians, and, though there were a few who sought encouragement to die for their pre ferences, expediency prevailed and the inevitable nomination was made. Insantly came the transformation. A party which, at least since 1894, had chosen the radical Phase of economics, the bureaucratic phase of law and regulation, and the paternalistic view of na tional morals, had its mind ami its garb changed in two days. The head cf the largest corporation in the world, himself one of the richest men in America and a member of citadel clubs of Re publicanism, was put in as National Chairman by Governor Smith. Centralization and bureaucracy, with their tendency to regulate from Washington the daily lives and habits of citizens in distant communities, were attacked in every official ut terance made by the nominee and his Chairman Prohibition was singled out as the party chief’s enemy. The tariff, as part of the measures for farm relief, was accepted on a qualified basis. In these new modern clothes the Democratic Party is a strange sight to the Southern and Western Dennu rats who were brought up on Bryanism and who took very little interest either in James M. Cox or John W. Davis, the standard-bearers of 19-0 to 1924, because of the evident lack of interest felt in these nominees by Bryan himself. Yet the changed party is recognizable—even by the Westerners and Southerners—as possessed of great strength, of effective attack, powerfully led. The obvious anxiety of the Republicans alone would be a complete testimonial of the acession of Democratic power. Nor are there signs that, save for a few one-idea men, there s any lamentation over the passing of the Bryan zed Democracy. It had its day, and that was a long one. Parties and their policies are bound to change as old leaders pass and new ones ansc.

This is Barragar's first appear ance in the box this season and l he did exceptionally well, for he is the only pitcher in the League who has held the Moose scoreless in a long time. The Elks themselves only col lected four bingles, but the Moose aided them with a few scattered errors. As a result of the con test the remaining three teams in the City League, the Moose, Elks and Legion, are tied for top place, which will necessitate the playing of several more games before the Little World Series can get under way.

r' ST. LOUS AND PITTSBURGH CLl RS HAVE NEAR MONOPOLY ON PENNANT NEW YORK. Aug. 17.—If the National League pennant this sea son goes to St. Louis the four eastern clubs of the circuit and Chicago ami Cincinnati might bo. come suspicious of a “conspiracy” hot ween the Cardinals and the Pi iates to monopolize the pennant. It would be the fourth season the two clubs alternated in winning the flag. With tne exception of the rec ord breaking run of the New York Giants from 1921 to 1924. inclu sive, the National League pennant has pretty well kicked about the circuit since 1911. That was the season of the Braves’ miracle by which the Boston club rose from the bottom in mid-season to win the pennant and then the worl I'.s series in four straight from the Athletics. Theieafter for five years there Philadelphia, Brooklyn, New York, was a new championship club, that order. Pittsburgh and St. Chicago and Cincinnati winning in Louis were frozen out of the succession of pennant winners as Brooklyn took the flag in 1920 and the Giants followed witli four in a row. Jt was from the last New York pennant that the “conspiracy” might he alleged between the Pi rates and Cardinals, for Pittsburgh cam through in l!t2f) to win its first pennant since 1909, and the next year St. Louis captured its first in the National League. The league championship went back to the Pirates last season ,and at present the Cardinals are doing their best to continue the plan of alternate pennants between St. Louis and Pittsburgh. Thus in the last 15 years Man ager McOraw of the (Hants has been the only leader who has been able to produce a club capable of winning two or more pennants in succession., The “hogging” situation in the American League between the New York Yankees and Washington has been somewhat familiar with the alternation features lacking. These two clubs have won all the Ameri can League pennants since 1921, and unless the Athletics come through and trip the Yankees it will make six for the Hugmen since that year, the Senators hav ing won two—1924 and 1925.
