SUICIDE SUSPECTED
OF BEING ANOTHER
SUPER-BIGAMIST
Los Angeles. Feb. 21. (I. N. &)
Clues indicating that Dan Plummer,
man of many aliases, who shot him
self to death at Lancaster last weeki
may have been a second "Bluebeard"
.Watson.' super-bigamist and raur
jdereri now serving a life sentence
at San Quentln. were found 'today
by Depu'.y Sheriff Joe Nolan, who
is making a nation-wide Investiga
tion of Palmer's life.
In addition to a notebook left by the
suicide, containing the names and ad
dresses of seven women. Nolan has
found clues that suggest Plummer may
have victimized women throughout the
country and committed murder as did
"Bluebeard" Watson to hide his crimes.
Nolan has telegraphed for information
concerning a letter I'lumme is said to
have sent to a New York detective, in
which he is beleived to have made a
lengthy confession.
I'lummer's notebook ..contained the
names and addresses of women in Los
Angeles; Alton, 111. : Billings, Mont.;
i;r.er Alton. III.; Green Forest, Ark. ;,
Han Antonio, Texas; East St. Louis,
III.; Carlinvllle, 111., and other Middle
West cities. In his possession was found
s postcard written from San Antorio,
Toas, by "Mrs. Clara Kields."
Mrs. Kields wrote she was coming to
' Los Angeles' because the "one man on
earth" lived here..
In his last letter addressed to Mrs.
Fred Price, for whom he worked, Plum,
mer said he was wanted in 15 states for
murder and robbery.
YANKEE SHIPS ARE DE-
LAYED BY JAPANESE
(Continued from One.)
is. delaying ships of American registry
irf her Japanese national or controlled
ports, either through failure to find
berths for 'them, or through coaling de
lays. ;
"When I get back to San Francisco
from this trip I am going to resign and
go to the Atlantic," several masters of
American freighters told me, not only in
Vladivostok but In Japanese and Chinese
ports as well. The reason they said this
was that their master certificates were
In danger because of the great delays
they have suffered in Kastern porta at
the hands of the Nipponese.
DEII AMERICAN SHIPS
In some of the Japanese ports modern
fueling methods have beenadopted, but
in the, majority of cases they still coal
ships by the ancient basket method, a
long string f coolie women, each car
rying from the dock storage spaces to
the bunkers of the ship her little basket
of coal.
American freighters when - touching
Japanese ports will experience long de
lays In finding berths. When they do get
to the docks, fuel is the next problem.
These things do not happen in every case
of an American ship docking, but they
"happen often enough to discourage the
American shfb masters. In coaling, the
delays are manipulated either by the
native stevedore agencies, who state that
they are unable to secure the labor, or
else by the native coal bompany heads,
who give as excuses for their inability
to deliver fuel that they had not enough
advance notice.
CZECK TROOPSHIPS DELATED
When the Czecho-Slovak troops were
evacuated from Siberia in American
ships, they were delayed for two months
in Japanese ports, by lack of fuel. There
was plenty of coal to be had, but the
boats were delayed; nevertheless, despite
protests from allied evacuation officials.
One explanation of this particular ac
"It's the Borax in the Soap that Does the Work"
We mine the Borax w and manufacture, the soap. We can be
generous with the quantity of borax used in ,
A 20 Mule Team Borax Product
Laundrax will not only wash your clothes better with less effort,
but it is an absolute necessity in every kind of cleaning and
scrubbing. " , ''-'' ' " .
It's different and the most economical soap you can buy. It makes
boiling unnecessary. - . . I '
tion was said to be a mask to help pro
long the stay ef the Japanese in Siberia.
The opposition party In Japan at that
time was crying continually just as it
is now for a Japanese evacuation of
Siberia. ' But ; the military party could
point to the presence of Czecho-Slovaks
in or near Siberian porta all this time
as an excuse for maintaining Japanese
troops there. -.
The Japanese do not recognize foreign
patent or 'copyright laws. This trait is
causing American shippers a great deal
of annoyance,: but that Is not the worst
thing the wily and unprincipled among
Japanese merchants are doing. They
have duplicated American goods, even to
the copying of - trademarks, marketing
inferior contents to the detriment of the
American trader. There are two out
standing examples of this thing, done for
government purposes in one case. That
was the introduction of wireless teleg
raphy into Japan. When ships of other
nations were equipping with the wireless
eta. the Japanese government bought a
couple of .complete sets and proceeded to
copy them, equipping their warships as
well as merchantmen with the Japanese
copy of the patented machines. It was
not until a few years ago, when they
agreed to pay .back royalties for every
set they bad so manufactured, that ships
of other nations were permitted to take
any notice of Japanese wireless calls,
except In the case of S. O. S. messages.
The other case turned out somewhat
humorously. An American concern was
engaged on some construction work near
Kobe. American castings were sent over
to be used. 1 The Japanese copied the
castings for their own use-j-but neglected
to note that the American castings were
annealed. When the Japanese copies
were put to work in some of their own
construction, ; they, being very brittle,
ruined the work in progress.
THE "MAN OF THE EAST" CASE
An example of infringement of patent,
and how it was permitted by the Japa
nese courts,' was that growing out of a
suit brought by the Eastman Kodak com
pany. Japanese manufacturers had dupli
cated American photographic apparatus
even to the extent of using the Eastman
name. When the case was tried in a Japa
nese court, the native offender against
American patents was discharged on his
contention tnat ne was entitled to tne
use of the name "Eastman" on' his cam
eras, inasmuch as it was a trade name
he liked.: and he was a "man of the
East." British cloth manufacturers have
suffered in this respect ; even as Amer
leans. There were cases of British and
American made cloth sent to the East
as samples or on order. Japanese manu
facturers intercepted the shipments and
duplicated the goods, although the prod
uct they turned out was obviously inferi
or. Upon the bolts of goods so made they
pasted exact duplicates of the pasters
carrying the American and British trade
marks. Naturally, inferior goods reach
ing the intended Eastern markets lost
business for those houses but "the Jap
anese manufacturers stepped in and
grabbed the business with their own
goods under their own trademarks.
Such cases as these were brought to
my attention incidentally, although they
had no connection with my work in the
Kast. by Americans and others in China
as well as in Japan. Protests, although
made by the American Chamber of Com.
merce in Shanghai, of which J. Harold
Dollar, president of Jhe Dollar Steam
ship lines, was the head, have not abated
the practice.
INTERCEPT MESSAGES
Cases of intercepting and altering or
copying for their own use cable or wire
less dispatches from American business
houses to their representatives have beqp
common. This has worked not only
against the business men of America,
but it has seriously affected news dis
patches sent from the Orient to Amer
ican newspapers and news agencies.
Every one of these dispatches, sent over
Japanese cables as the only way out, is
subject to Japanese censorship or alter
ation. If a correspondent tries to evade
the censorship by having friends take
his manuscripts to American ports, there
to be telegraphed, he destroys the value
of his dispatches by the loss of time
necessary in crossing the Pacific.
The Island of Yap, over which so great
a controversy has been raised in the
peace conference, inasmuch as it is one
of the central points of transpacific
cable lines, formerly German controlled,
is the key to the present Pacific cable
situation, and, ' no matter what control
America has been gives in that little
island, the Japanese control the cable
stations.

FINISH ON BILLS
By David M. Church '
Washington, Feb. 21. (I. N. S.)
Congress turned Into the home
stretch today in a neck and neck
raog against time.
With , but 10 legislative days re
mangling before the present session
ends, there was every indication to
day that sip me of the important leg
islation, now on the books will never
reach completion;
In the senate the big task is the pass
age of appropriation bills which already
have been passed by the house. There
are rumblings which forbode ill for some
of these appropriation bills, particu
larly the naval appropriation bill.
Senator Borah of Idaho has announced
his intention to continue the fight to
force a conference on disarmament and
has given notice that he will discuss the
naval appropriation bill at length. This
may lead to a senate row which will
endanger the passage of the bill at this
session. '
The army appropriation bill, provid
ing for reduced military forces, will also
be the subject of considerable debate
and will retard any rapid progress by
the upper body, in disposing of the jam
of legislation now steadily mounting.
Senator Penrose, chairman of the sen
ate finance committee, intends to have
the soldier bonus bill reported to the
senate this week and hopes to get action
on it before the close of the session, but
inasmuch as this bill has been the sub
ject of many frays, there is little hope
of its rapid passage and if it finally
comes to a vote it is not likely to get
out of -conference during the present
session.

'SMELLERS' TAKE
MUCH COIN FROM
TREASURY VAULTS
Washington, Feb. 2 L WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR
NjL.) The war investigating com
mittees of congress, to whom Gen
eral Charles G. Dawes recently paid
his respects, cost $187,000 in round
figures up to January 15, and will
round out with a "total cost around
$200,000. ;
Among the expenditures .is a $15,000
fee paid to General Ansell, who was ap
pointed legal asistant to one of the com
mittees after his row with. Secretary
Baker. .
ANSELL GOT BIG FEE ' " '
General Ansell has also been the sub
ject of some criticism because his firm
accepted employment at the hands of
Bergdoll, the Blacker. This was after
Ansell had finished working for the
house "smelling" committees, it seems.
Reports were published that $100,000 was
paid Ansell and, his legal associates by
Bergdoll, but recent investigation has in
dicated that probably only $12,500 was
paid by the slacker, of which Ansell re
ceived $5000.
It was stated that Ansell worked for
the committee at the rate of $20,000 a
year, and as he was attached to the in
vestigation, after a fashion, for about
nine months, he accumulated a bill for
$15,000. Not all of his time was occu
pied in this way, however, as he had
time for other practice.
CONGRESS GOVERNS
Fifteen thousand dollars seems to be
about a standard sum for lawyers in
congressional investigations. That was
the amount paid to Sherman L. Whipple
in the "leak" investigation a few years
ago, and to Samuel Untermeyer in the
"money trust" investigation. Unter
meyer's assistant, II. P. Willis, was paid
$9400.
In contrast with these fees it should be
noted that Charles Evans Hughes, who
conducted the investigation of aircraft
expenditures at the request of President
Wilson and presented an extended - re
port, declined .to charge the United
