SEARCH ON FOR JAPANESE Finding of Jawbone, With Filled Teeth, Leads Detectives to Believe That Identification Will Be Easy Inquest Begins. CAZADERO, Cal., Aug. . In a can yon three-quarters of a mile from the home of the Kendall family there was found this afternoon an upper Jaw, ap parently that of a young man. This Is the most direct evidence yet secured to prove that Thomas Kendall, the young man of the Ill-fated family, har met his death. District Attorney Lea said that he considered the finding of this bit of anatomy the best yet secured, for In the filling of the teeth the Identity of the victim can be established. The back teeth on either aide had ben filled with amalgam. The front teeth are missing. Apparently they had been knocked out. The find would indicate that Tom Ken dall's body was not cremated. The Jaw was found by Newton J. Grteder, about a quarter of a mile from the spot In the canyon where the torso of a woman, believed to be that of his mother, Mrs. Eura Kendall, was found earlier in the week.

Arthur Collins knew the hunted Japanese when the latter worked in a candy store here and so clear Is his de scription of the man that the Sheriff Is positive the boy will recognize him even at a distance. With this hope. Smith and hla young deputy will visit the Japanese quarters in all of the cities and towns of the state. The Coroner's Jury resumed Its ses sion here today. While the Jury sat today a posse scoured the hills In search of the rifle with which the Ken dalls are presumed to have been shot. This posse is led by Arthur Trosper, one of the most skillful trappers In this part of ten country. Accompanied by sheriff Smith, Lea left In the direction of the .cabin oc cupied by the Japanese workers. GOLF CHAMPION WINS VOCNG VALE PLAYER DEFEATS VETERAN TRAVIS.
