TAFPS ADMISSION OF PROSPERITY OMINOUS Many ' Congressmen Return ing' to Washington Must Revise Their Ideas. Washington, Nov. 20. f WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) Apparently those Republicans of the old school tvho have relied upon busl neas depression to defeat President Wilson next year are to be deprived of their chief Issue. Leaders of all parties In Washington are taking keen Interest In the reports that are coming In of increasing com mercial and Industrial activity, and it la not too much to pay that the vol ume of encouraging- reports has grown to a flood. Administration officials are rejoicing over the turn of affairs. declaring that this furnishes a reply to all the hard times talk of the oppo sition. Prosperity reports are no longer confined to munitions factories, but show up in building operations, railroad operations, shipbuilding, farm product prices and nearly all avenues of trade. From the large Industrial centers, east, west and south, come the same favorable reports. A short time ago the south was in despair as to its cot ton crop, but now all Is fair. From a few sections come returns of linger ing dullness In trade, but it is felt here in this territory the wave of ac tivity la certain to sweep forward, and thtft Wis capital everywhere wlh find assurance of profitable invest ment. Taft'a Vtiwii&ffi&Sfr leant. , In hU condition of. affaire the speecn. maae by ex-rrssiuent xan in Chic gdTfwas significant. It was an admission of prosperity by high op petition authority. -and an effort to show that the Wilson administration deserves no credit for it. "f reseat prosperity," he said, "Is no reason for continuing the present na tional administration In power. The Wilson acimuuimuon w not. aii - Bgent in cringing uu una jji iij Place the country in the hands of the grand old party again and prosperity will be with us to stay." There is evidence in plenty that Republican congressmen who were primed to assail the administration for bringing on bad times will deflect their arguments to conform to that of Mr.Taft. They will say that the Eu ropean war and good qrops have come to the aid of the administration, and will paint pictures of how things might have been. There is curiosity on both sides, of the fence as to how these arguments will "take." It is very different from the time when McKlnley was heralded as " the advance agent of prosperity," and the orators pointed to Idle fac tories and mills. Whatever the cause, there was nation-wide depression and suffering then, and it worked power fully for McKlnley. But with only a theoretical plan of depression to talk about, how will the spellbinders fare? ' Opes Season, for Oratory, y It is expected there will be an open season of political debate" 1d the com ing session, for with the presidential election so close at hand the warrors are anxious to put their arguments in fraakable packages. In the house, with its increased Republican mem bership, there is promise of particular farly activity. Prominent among those who are expected to improve I he tirst chance to tell of the woes the country Is not suffering from will be James R. Mann, the minority lead er; Simeon D. Fess of Ohio and? W. K Humphrey of Washington. The two last named are sometimes classed as "tariff monomaniacs," so prone are they to see a high tariff argument In each bill that comes up on the floor. On every hand there is acknowledg ment that Prealdent Wilson is stronger than' his party, and the problem of breaking down that lead Is another thing being studied by Republican leaders. Seemingly there is no settled program on mis line, xurther than to hammer a little here and a little there, on Mexico, the defense pro gram, 'the shipping bill, and what ever else may seem to give the best opportunity. Ways and Means Session Soon. Congressional leaders are flitting in and out of Washington, arranging -the program for the session. Claude Kltchln, majority leader in the- house, was here for a few days, and a meet ing of the Democratic members of the ways and means committee, which arranges the membership of all house committees, will be held on Novem ber 29. As the Democratic, house ma jority Has been reduced to 15, it is expected that the Republicans will be allowed greater committee representa tion than they held, in the last con gress. . ' y " 1 ..

Body positively Identified as that of John Linnd of Boston. i The bosjy of the man found ln the green trunk in the river Friday rrlght has beenpositively identified as John Linnd, of Boston, Mass. The identifi cation was made at 8:30 last night by the Rev. John Ovall, missionary of the Swedish Methodist church. Linnd was a member of the congre gation at Salem last Sunday before which Ovall preached. He came for ward and talked with the missionary after th service. Acting on this Information Chief of Police Clark last' night wired the city editor of the Boston Post as follows: "We have man believed to be John Linnd, Boston, Mass., murdered and dumped in trunk into river (a descrip tion followed). What can you do for us?" Was Boston Man. "'Linnd came to me after the service and we had quite a talk," said Rev. Mr. Ovall. "He told me his name was Linnd. 'I know you will want to spell It 'Lind,' but it is 'Linnd he safii. Ho told me he came here from Cali fornia, where be had been for the past two years. Before i that he said that he had lived in Boston for a long time., i - " I have $3000 to buy 40 acres of land here and build a home ;on It Linnd went on. 'And I have more in Boston.' " i He told the minister that he In tended to spend the rest of his days in peace and comfort and In the wor ship of the Lord and in the tilling of the soil. The "Green Trunk Murderer" fol lowed Linnd from California, Mr. Ovall believes. "A man waited outside the chinch at Salem for Linnd," said Mr. Ovall. "I did not look at him, but others did. Did BTot Xilke Companion. "I Introduced Linnd to Mrs. John Wlkberg and her daughter Olga last Sunday. I asked them to look out for him, telling them that I left the next day and that he wanted to look around. Mrs. 'Wlkberg in turn - Introduced Linnd to Fred Bechtel of Bechtel & Bynon, real estate men. "On Tuesday Mrs. Wlkberg met Mr. Bechtel on the street, " 'Mr. Linnd was In to see me said he. 'He 1 accompanied by a man whom he said came from California with him. I do not like this mark although I like Mr. Linnd s appearance. His friend la too sporty and will, I Xear, do him harm.' i, "Linnd and the man who I believe murdered him left Salem Tuesday for Portland and Linnd was to look me trp ss soon as he got t here. I did not see or hear .from him, however. j. 4 "At the morgue last night I knew him at once. "From the little I saw of Linnd last Sunday I believe he was a good man. He took -part in.fha service fervently and with a precision which stamped him as a regular churchgoer. He told me later he was a Swedish Finn." From Mr. Ovall's remarks ltls evi dent the .game was for -big stakes. . The murderer evidently picked Linnd up as a chance acquaintance and finding the size of the "bank roir he can led made bis fiendish plans. : ; v -r y Motive Za Xaowa, '! j .'The detectives now have the Identification- atrd'the motive and wltn the Shark H eld Germans 9 Secrets; Discarded Papers Are Found Evidence to' Be Used' by United States Government in Trial of Hamburg-American Officials Was Recovered From Belly of a Shark.

Ostensibly the Republican caucus 1b for the purpose of parcelling out com mittee assignments. Possibly It may, be for amalgamation of the Progres sives and the Republicans. Bull Moosers said they might "in formally" participate in the caucus. The Republicans already are plan ning a vigorous fight, to be outlined at the caucus for larger committee representation. Because of their in creased membership, now 196, as com pared with 230 Democratic member ship, a more equal division of committee- places Is demanded. For two years the Democrats have had a 2 to 1 membership on large committees, . J 4 of i?l places being their usuat ahare.

They probably will have no candidate for speaker. In secur ing Ommittee place, at least, they will cooperate with the Republicans. Selection of minority committee mfemUershlps is to be left to the caucus by Leader Mann, who usually has se lected the places and assigned mem bers The committee assignment will be presented as selected by the Repub lican caucus, to the Democratic caucus December 4, for the latter to make the final slateg for adoption by the house Imperial Valley Is Shaken by a Quake Tolcano Just Across the Border Be comes Active at the Same Time: Coroaado Ught Plant Crippled.
