VA ODUVER, B. C., July 28.—Iden- tification by recognition of a hand in- stead of by facial peculiarities is the latest method of applied evidence, sub- mitted to-day in a hold-up case now ng in a Vancouver court. . H. Quann, bookmaker at the Hastings races, three miles out- side of the city, was stopped by a masked man and robbed of $6000. Quann was unable to see the man'’s face, but took a good look at his revol- ver hand. He told the police that if he ever saw the hand again he would be able to recognize it. who formerly lived in San Francisco, and recently a professional gambler of this city, was arrested later and charged with the hold-up. To-day the police put Quann's hand theory to a novel test. A large curtain was brought into court and holes for six pairs of hands were cut. The prisoner and five other men were ranged behind the curtain and put their hands through the holes. Quann was brought in and confronted with the twelve hands in the row, be- ing unable to see their owners. Unhes- itatingly he picked out the hands of McDenald as those of the man who held the revolver at his head.

AID TO MANUFACTURERS. | Local manufacturers say that they see in the situation at last a chance to widen their trade territory, taking in a considerable slice of the country east | of California ard extending several| hundred miles, and this will mean the| widening of their manufacturing opera- | tions. Wholesalers and jobbers also see | a wider territory for their operations. Cheap fuel oil in California is provi- dentially supplemented as a Pacifc Coast advantage to manufacturers by the unexpected speedy provision of a/ substitute for an interoceanic canal, to| be effective in the near future. Import- | ers of tea and other Oriental products | see that with the destruction of the monopoly in the carrying trade they ! have a chance that has been denied | them under the old combination of sea ! and inland rates. Once before California has had com. petition by sea in sight. The North American Navigation Company ran: ships in connection with a sea line put | on by the Panama Railway Company, | and put the Pacific Mail Steamship | Company out of business for a time be- | tween San Francisco and New York! and way points. During the same pe- | riod the rail es were forced to meet the sea rates. In this an example was | afforded of what can be permanently | effected in rail rates. 3 i The Traffic Association of California | did splendid work at that time for this| State. It was composed of hundreds of San Francisco business firms, who | stood together for the common good. It/ efficiently alded in the construction of | the first railway to bring competition on overland business into Northern | California by the institution of the San Joaquin Valley road. An object lesson | was afforded at the same time of the willingness of the San Francisco busi- ness houses to combine for common business advantage, which is still of value as a leverage, for the large| houses then the front and most of the active movers in both the North| American Navigation Company and the Traffic Association are still actively en- | P ation men and the rep- resentatives of business houses held another conference yesterday.

To renew the contract between the Panama Railwav and the | | Pacific | Mail Sgeamship Company or to make | an exclusive contract with any other steamship line would stop competition and would keep freight rates excessive-' 1y high.

The Pan- | ama Railway declined to renew i!s‘ contract with the Pacific Mail Steam- an | I ship Company and entered into agreement with San Francisco busi- ress men that resulted in the forma- | tion of the North American Navigation | Company, through the agency of the | Traffic Association.

If the Panama road is | open to all, exporters all along the coast will make shipments by that route. The transcontinental roads will be compelled to meet the sea rate to hold the business. A. A. Watkins, president of the San ! Francisco Board of Trade, said that he failed to see how the United States Government can make an exclusive contract with the Panama Rallway Company that will discriminate against persons or localities. In becoming Gov- ernment property the Panama Railway should be oven to all. Mr. Watkins said that he believed that San Fran- cisco would be greatly benefited by the opening up of the Panama road on even terms tg all shippers. This will provide a wz¥-to the East for many California products that excessive freight rates now prevent from moving rd. Van Sicklen, one of the direc- tors of the old North American Navi- sation Company and vice president of the Traffic Association. said that freight rates are excessive. The com- petition to be afforded by opening the Panama road to all and the abrogation of any contract that ties the line up with any steamship company would greatly benefit San Francisco and the entire Pacific Coast. - MUST BE OPEN TO ALL.
