PAWNBROKER FAILS TO IDENTIFY Coanrll Bias's Dealer Wki Sold Fred , Hostln Pistol Sim Ik Skele tan Posnd la Nat the One. Theories that mystery surrounding the death of Dr. Frederick Rustin would bt cleared or at least lessened by tha dis covery of a revolver In tha aewer catch basin at Twenty-ninth avenua and Harney street by a sewer gang Thursday hav fallen flat by tha fact that the gun Is neither of Coifs or of Iver Johnson make. After working on the theory that the gun might be the missing weapon in tha Rus tln case. Chief Donahue said: v. "There Is nothing In the Idea at all. It was not Rustln's gun, and probably could not be Davis' either, as he did not carry one." When W. F. Qurley, one of Charles E. Davis' attorneys, heard of the discovery of the gun In .the sewer, he visited the police station with the Idea of gathering additional Information connected with the case, but said afterward that ho had noth ing new In the case. ' It la known that Dr. ' Rustin wanted to buy a Colt's revolver not long before his death, and also that it was an Iver John son gun that h eventually bought, so the fact that the weapon found In the sewer Is a cheap Harrington & (Richardson re volver, In tha minds of the police, give still less credence to the Idea that the latter has anything to do with the Rustin case. Only the Frame Left. Both cylinder and hammer are missing from the gun recovered by the aewer gang, and the location of the catch basin from which It was taken also Indicates that the Harrington & Richardson revolver Is prob ably not the one which has been searched for ever since the tragedy. The corner of Twenty-ninth avenue and Harney street is about a mils east and one block south of the home of the Rustin family, where the shooting is supposed to have occurred. The only point of similarity between the gun found In the sewer and that used In the Rustin case Is the fact that both were of 32 caliber. Chief of Police Donahue made an effort to have the gun found In the sewer Identi fied at some pawnshop, or other place where It may have been bought. It was taken to Council Bluffs Saturday morning and shown to the dealer who sold Dr. Rustin a revolver a few days before the latter's death. The second-hand man said he did not sell the Harrington & Richard son gun. " The condition of the weapon found In the sewer would Indicate that It had not been there for as long a time aa has elapsed since the morning of September if, when Dr. (Rustin died. Slight rust on the barrel shows that it had been car ried into the aewer or placed there within a month or six weeks. N pier for the recording angel who keeps tab on mundsne profanity, A fine of 1500 and sis months In Jail would be a penalty none too severe for the laundry fiends who tear shirts to tatters for 15 cents apiece. New York Commercl.il. KNOCKING A W0RLP-WIDE EVIL Yarloaa Bides f Tlpplagr Nslannce, the' Victims and tha Bene claries. Llk the tariff, the tip Is a tax, and the tip gatherers ar alert aa the tax gath erers in levy toll. Originating In the occasion"! bestowal of a coin In recogni tion of some special attention or service, tipping haa grown Into a gigantic and universal system. An unwritten mini mum scale of fees hss been established, and fees are expected by attendants aa a matter of right, even when they have rendered no special service, or, perhaps, no service at atl. Head waiter, table waiter, bell boy, head porter, luggage porter, chambermaid, boot blackthey are all "on the regular list." The substantial tip sent to the chef by a man who wants his viands prepared In a particular manner or with unusual care Is not In tha same category. He Is voluntarily paying for special service and otherwise need never think of the cook's existence. The smart waiter who wants always to obtain his dishes in the best condition to please his patrons and elicit liberal tips finds It expedient to regularly fee the chef, and thus there are tips within tips. In the railway carriage, on the ocean steamship "tha tipping nuisance" pursues tha traveler, and even guests In private residences cannot escapt it. The amount of tips expected by servants In country houses Is so large that persons of small means are unwilling to spend a few days as the guests of wealthy friends. In Eng land this abuse has become so great that In some of tha finest country houses notices are now posted In tha bedrooms requesting guests to refrain from feeing the servants, and boxes are placed In the halls, to be unlocked only when the season ends, for ths reception of such gifts as visitors may be Impelled to make for distribution among the servants. There are two sides to the question- three sides, Indeed,, for the managers, waiters, and public look at it from dif ferent angles. The problem would not be solved by adopting a suggestion that a fixed percentage be added to they bill for service, because this would only Increase tha cost to the client and tlpa would grow on top of this. There is a sound reason for giving tips, for where special service has been exacted or special attention has been received, but there is ho denying the fact that the system has grown to be. In many quarters, a serious abuse. New York Herald. CONTEST AWAMS SIB BABY'S ADVENT A MENACE Largo Families tha Ban af the Poor, Hectares at New York Char ity Report.

WONDERFUL RIFLED PIPE LINE Means Employed In Carrying; Cali fornia Oil to Sen Coast. The most remarkable pipe line In the world, a line of sight-Inch pips 282 miles long, has Just been completed In the Cali fornia oil fields. It runs from OH City, n the famofjs Coallnga country, to the sea board near Port Costa, and Its length Is the least wonderful thing about it. In thla Immense tube, with pumping sta tions twenty-four miles apart, a complete Inner tubs of flying, whirling water keeps the heavy crude oil froju the steel pipe. The well known antipathy of oil aid water keeps tha carried fluid and the carrier apart, but until the autumn of 1917 this comparatively simple principle had not been brought into use and the problem of the transportation of oil was the greatest the producers of the west coast had to face. Now this great obstacle has been removed and Harriman's engines on tha southern Pacific and tha furnaces of his steamers which, ara soon to ply the Pacific will be fed from this line, by which 17.000 to ,000 barrels of thick fourteen-degree fuel oil can be moved over one of the twenty-four-rnlle sections every twenty-four hours. The pipe line, which, by the way. Is ths invention of John D. Isaacs, consulting en gineer of tha Southern Pacific company, and Buckner Speed, is first rifled. These rifles, or corrugations, ars about one-eighth of an Inch In depth and make one complete revolution of the pipe line In every ten lineal feet Instead of heating the oil to thin It and make It travel the more easily through the pipe, as Is the custom on all the Pennsyl vania, Indiana and Virginia lines, the heavy black fluid in this case is shot Into the pipe cold, with a 10 per cent addition of water. The centrifugal force given to the whole mass by the rifling of the pipe, throws the water to the outside, forming a perfect sheath or .coating in which the oil travels. completely separated from the guardian watar. This film between the oil and the pipe naturally reduces tha friction to a great degree, as well as carrying along tha oil at a much greater speed than thinner oil of higher gravity, which Is much easier to move, has ever been carried before. t Technlcal World Magaslne.

In England today charcoal poultices are used for ulcers, bolls, etc., while soma physi cians Tt Europe claim to curs many skin dlseaies by covering the afflicted skin with charcoal powder. Stuart's Charcoal Ixisenges go into the mouth and transfer foul odors at ones into oxygen, absorb noxious gases and acids and when swallowed mix with the digestive Juices and stop gas making, fermentation and decay.

NE3W YORK, Nov. 8.-The telegraphlo flash sign "73." meaning "regards," ticked scores of times tonight over special wires to the banquet room at the Hotel Man hattan, where the old-time telegraphers of New York entertained Andrew Carnagle on the occasion of his seventy-third birth day anniversary. At the table with him were Thomas A. Edison, tha Inventor, a former operator, and five of the nine first operators regularly employed by the United States government In the civil war, sent from the (Pennsylvania railway line in response to a message dated "Washington, April 22, ISfil," and signed by Mr. Carnegie. Colonel Robert C. Clowry, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, presided as toastmaster, and the speakers Included Coloned David H. Bates, die . of the early military telegraphers, who said that when the government refused to pen sion tho military telegraph operators Mr. Carnegie at once provided life Incomes of 111 per month for such members of the old corps as were recommended by their organization. The souvenirs wore minia ture telegraph sounders of ebony and bronte, one of which recorded the many messages which came from various parts of the country through the evening. "I believe," said Mr. Carnegie, "that when we get to heaven and are challenged and asked why we want to come In we will pick up one of these little Instruments and say "73'," and he made the signal as he spoke the numeral. Mr. Carnegie said that he spoke In i Pickwickian sense when he stated that he regarded the expressions of old fellowship and good will tonight as the greatest public honor he had ever received. Ha felt, he said, a note of sincerity In the tone of tha speakers and their expressions of regard for lilm. "There Is no higher compliment which can be paid you than to have the friends of your boyhood days, the friends of your older days, and I would rather have your certificate of friendship than one signed by all the priests and bishops in the land."

Mr. Vanderbllt was un der cross-examination before both sides rested. He told of his association with his second wife before and after their mar riage. From his statements It appeared that when his first wife waa dying she asked him to have Mrs. Pepper commune with the "spirits" and learn for her whether she would die. Mr. Vanderbllt said he had arranged to bring Mrs. Pepper to his home, but his wife died before she arrived. Mr. Vanderbllt married the me dium several years later.
