2 "I'M INNOCENT," CRIES LAVIN WOMAN AT JAIL Four Hour Inquisition Fails to Break Her Nerve in Face of Detectives' Evidence Police Now Seek D. Kaplan, at Whose Flat Canvas Cover Was Delivered mite, harbor the plotters, ami assist*. them in fiijrbt from this city. If such, is the case the woman. is an accessory, and a? such can be convicted. Rogers Special Prosecutor Ropers has given particular atten tion to the elements of evidence and witnesses, and -will return to Los An greles when the actual trial of Mrs.. L-avln begins as spacial prosecutor. The accomplishments of yesterday follow directly on the statement of Mrs. D. H. Injgrersoll. who has lie«?n in con- Etant toucJv with the police for more» than two weks. She and Mrs. Lavin were very friendly, and wea^e enter tained by Br.yce and Smithy. With the Kid of Mrs. lngrersoll, the- evidence of lered in the crche of dynamite, tho can- Vass, sacking an ropes u. e ed to cover it. \he detectives are bending all efforts to Crive the fugitives from their hiding: places, which aje believed to be in the \u25a0vicinity of the bay cities. TvAPLAX IS SOUGHT Following the clew offered in the two canvas covers found in the Nine- teenth avenue cottage, the hunt was turned on the trad of Kaplan yester- Cay. and a thorough investigation tnade of 'his movements in and out of this city. While his wife professed lanorance of his movements and de t'arcd that she only understood that he peddled merchandise through ' the country, it is thought that she may know- much more about his presence fend this will enpage the attention of the detectives today. Kaplan occupied the Grove street flat' owned by the favannalis and lias been out of the city plnce the place was vacated. At one time he conducted a fruit stand in 3-von street, but during the last year )ias moved about the country. His wife ptated that he appeared to have money fend to meet with success, but did not Iteep her informed of his movements from piace to place. She iva* unable to tell in ivliat direction he went from this city. , )IAX FKIEXU RELEASED At the time Mrs. Ijavin was? brought to hee'dquarters yesterday John T. ivof thatrse,' a \u25a0close friend of the woman, •was also brought in and made to ex telain his actions during the last two Vionths. After an exhaustive-examina Advertising Talks tAII this talk about advertising increasing the cost to the consumer- — where is it fostered? Whence does it come? From "close corpoarations" usually; from those folks who object to publicity in any guise. From manufacturers who are not satisfied with a fair profit above the cost of production. From distributers who ask "what they think they can get" regardless of the quality of the article. These gentry know only too well that in advertising you ye got to stick to the truth or you go out of business in short order. It would not take the public long to find out their unfair method if they advertised. Let a dealer in a heretofore unadvertised product, business or trade of this sort begin an advertising campaign and see what happens. A great cry goes up from the others in the same line of business of "cheapening the trade," "ruining the business," "unethical," etc., etc. , # . If the advertiser has backbone, if the advertising is legitimate and honest and outspoken and not mere sensationalism, you will very soon see a weakening all along the line. - . ft He will say, for instance, "I sell so-and-so goods for so much, then the consumer will begin to ask questions, and no no excuse, nothing "but the same goods at the same price" will satisfy theriu Thus does advertising "cheapen the business" to the consumer; thus does advertising protect the consumer from -unfair prices. One of the most interesting illustrations of the light which advertis- ing throws on dark places is being furnished by the Western casket and undertaking company of Chicago. They have used all of the daily, papers in Chicago and the elevated and surface cars with the most satis- fying resuUs. * / - In all their advertising they guarantee to save those who are in need V)f their services one-half of the former price. And the class of people who have responded to this advertising has shown the Western casket people that they are on the right track. The following quotations from a letter to the Embalmers' Monthly is an example of the howls from the "others." "I have noticed the new move of the Western casket company to get a corner on the funeral busi- nocc * ". - "It looks like a joke to me, especially at this time, and now I will tell you why I think as I do.". ~ Nice, flippant way to. talk on such a subject — that "corner . on the -. funeral business" is especially good. *\u25a0.-. '.";\u25a0\u25a0 - Further along the letter reads: "At the time of death. the, heart is r the ruling factor and "the people look, to their friend, the refined, educated, - gentlemanly mortician of today, arid he will hold his place alongside of - the good old family doctor and the family pastor. "And no amount of advertising, conniving, scheming or commercial tactics will dislodge him or loosen" his hold on the delicate heartstrings of. his long line of friends." , , . Isnt' that rich? Isn't it rich? Making profit out of the woe of others. Talk about conniving and scheming! Note the sly, subtle insin- uation that the people will not question the charge of; the "friend" while the heart is the ruling factor. ' An article on this subject in the current issue of Pearson's Magazine says: "A system of ethics that prevents the publication of prices is worth looking at twice. Have you ever been hanned_bjr a; department store's publication of prices? '] Because of such prices you know that good shoes are worth $4 a pair, good shirts $1.50 each. If the salesman asked you s $12. f0r shoes and $6 for a shirt you know at once that he is trying to rob you * * * and that is what the undertaker's -system of ethics l : - amounts to. It benefits nobody but the undertaker, most of all the dishon- / est'one."- " ' - ; ,'"~ :'''-' • • Indeed, yes, if you- want to decrease the cost to the consumer turn on the. white light of publicity, advertising. There are many, many manufacturers and dealers,^ nonadvertjser* from purely legitimate/ reasons, who.would no m9re; think of tricking -the public than they would be robbing a bank, but they are not the oneswho cry down advertising because it /'increases the cost to. the consumer."' . / I want to "modify; that statement : about the' $1 2 shoes and $6 shirts.; There are shoes worth v$ \ 2 and shirts worth • $6'.\>- But .what : the meant, no doubt, 1 was thatUf a salesman asked:sl 2 for $4 shoes and $6 for a $I .so;shirt you would know at once that he: is trying' to rob you. ; And I .want to (say: further \that no advertiser in : his right ; senses would advertise as 4 article as Being worth $ 1 2; nor would; he: keep in his employ more than four seconds a salesman who would try \to boost prices _pr represent goo^ds as being other than, they^i really ;arer\ r \u25a0 -That • is • not : the way > Uie honest, \ outspoken, advertising merchants do business ; they leave- that sort of practice to "dose corporations." ~ .1 .

They then cast of the life boat and were afloat In th« sea. The airship, relieved of the weight of the lifeboat, shot up high Into the air. and was rapidly- blown away. The tranaf«r of the Wellman party from the lifeboat to the Trent was effected with much difficulty. At 4:30 a. m. today the Trent sighted the ' America and wireless communica tion was immediately . established. % Ir win. the operator on the airship, in formed Ginsburg. the operator on the Trent, that the airship America's cr«w wished to abandon the ballooni Wire less communication was kept up from this time on between the airship and the steamer. ' Daylight was rapidly approaching and the Trent was requested to. follow the America, -which was then drifting. at the rate of 12 miles an hour. -' After a council on the airship It was decided the best means of rescue was. to launch the life boat. But this was such a" hazardous, undertaking that much time elapsed before tha ma neuvering was executed as the tail of the airship, consisting of tanks of gaso line and wooden blocks, threatened to capsize the lifeboat as it was dropped from the balloon Into the water. This danger was at\lasf overcome and th* operation was carried out with suc cess. 'In the operation the trailer struck Wireless Operator Jack Irwin and Louis Loud, the engineer, and also knocked a small hole in the side of the lifeboat. s The airship, immediately on being released on its weight of crew and boat, shot skyward as the boat shot down ward. A moderate sea. was running at the tlmeand after" some slight difficulty the crew was taken on . board, together with the lifeboat, at 7:30 a. m. All the members of the crew are wall after a thrilling' experience. Wireless telegraphy has distinguished Itself by its great assistance in accomplishing the work of rescue. The Morse lamp signaling also took a great part In the- communication be tween Jack Irwin and officers of the steamer Trent, which gave the signals leading to the rescue. The crew was picked up In latitude 35.43 north, longitude 62.13 west." where the America was abandoned. Wellman said the airship had been blown so far out of Its course that it was inadvisable to proceed. LAST SPIKE DRIVEN IN NEW S. P.
