Found In Tool Shed In Irvine; Park. NEW YORK, July 23. Another murder mystery has been added to the long list of unsolved cases that are now baffling the police of New York and vicinity. Early yesterday the body of a young woman was found in a tool shed In Irving park, Williamsburg. Hhe was shot through tho breast And had been killed almost In stantly. Although a policeman heard the shot arjd rnn to the scene he was too late to catch sight of the murderer. This latest murder Is fur more puzzling than the Drew of Eberhard cases, for not even tho Identity of the victim Is known. It Is believed that the murdered woman lived near the scene of the crime, but there Is no positive Information on this point. That sne was either lured to the tool house or went there to keep u clandestine engagement with a man seems certain. She was trimly dressed, but wore no hat and carried a dainty parasol.

Cartmell, T'hlverslty of Pennsylvania, who finished in the' order named. As the British run ners had no chance of success In this event the" win of the wearer of the mnple leaf was as popular as was the victory of Bull th Africa yesterday In the lOrt-met-ir dash. When it was seen that Kerr had touchd the tape inches ahead of Cloughen, the crowd on the stands stood up and cheered and the Canadians poure out onto the fl"ld and carried tlu-lr hero shouldei1 high to his dressing room.

The Americans also will figure largely In the standing high Jump, with which the program opened this morning and which Is expected to last the greater part of the dny. They' are also Interested in the seml-flnal of the high diving contest, Galdzik of the American team, with six Swedes, one Finn, one German and one Englishman, having come up from the various heats to this position. Things moved very slowly at this room ing's session and only the semi-finals of the standing high Jump had been completed when the lunch hour arrived. The first section of this event was carried off by Tslclltaras, a lanky Greek, who fig ured !r the previous Jumping events. He cleared S feet 1 inch. Piatt Adams, New York Athletic club, was second with 4 feet 10 inches. Ray C. Ewry, New York Ath letic club, equalled the Greek's Jump In the second section, but he could not Im prove upon It. J. A.

The Graeco-Roman wrestling, light weights up to 147 pounds, and the oatch-as-catch-can matches between heavy, weights up to 101 pounds, going on at mats at either end of tha arena, kept the adherents to that form of sport entranced all day long. The only American entered in these events was Lea J. Talbot and he was defeated In the first bout at caich- as-catch-can by O'Kclly, United Kingdom. The tribute the Americans at the Sta dium paid to Walker yesterday when the young South African won tha 100-meter dash appears to have appealed strongly to English sportsmanship and Is likely to do much to dispel the soreness caused by the American protests earlier In tha games, which was much discussed. Tha four men In tuts event got awgy to g splendid start. Kerr quickly showed In the front, and although Cloughen made a magnificent sprint at tha half way and pulled up inch by Inch, he was unable to catch tha speedy Canadian, who bri anted thu tape nine inches ahead of him. Cart mell was only a foot behind Cloughen. Hawkins, United Kingdom, waa fourth. Tha final in the 2uO-meter flat race waa won by Kerr, Canada. Cloughen, lrlMi- Amerltan Athletic club, was second and N. J. Cartmell, University .of Penntyl vanla. third. Time: 0:3. Judges Disqualify Carpenter. In tha llnal of the 4e0-me.tr Hat race J. C. Carpenter, Cornell university, came in first. A sensation waa created when off.claJs cleclnrtd that It was no race. This decision wus reached on the ground that Carpenter bad "bored" Hallvwtlle, the Engl.sh run rer. Boring ia Ihe English term for "1 ocketlng." W. C. Robbing, Cambridge university, waa second; HallsWelle, third and J. B. Taylor, Irish-American Athletlo club, fourth. Matthew P. Halpln, manager of the American team, says tha Americana will not run the race over. As soon ia the decision of tha officials was made known the grand stands were in an uproar, the Englishmen cheering the an nouncemi-nt and the Americana hooting. The "boring'' la alleged to bava occurred at tha corner coming lata tha stretch. To the spectators It seemed Impossible. I They could not see how Carpenter, w ha bad the rost, could avoid coming out a. little, as the men already had started to sprint. O'Kellr Wins Heavy welahl. The final of tho t atch-as-ciiteh-csn, heavyweight to lt'.l pounds, wrestling, was won by O'Kelly, United Kingdom, who Je feated Ounderson, Norway.

Andrew Schnlder of Houston, Tex., en- route to Hartlngton, Neb., fell a victim to the wiles of two clever confidence men nt 9:Z0 a. m. Thursday near the Webster street passenger depot and was swindled out of $70. Rejuventatlng the old method, the two contidence men approached Schnlder and after a fewmoments conversation ono of the them sprung thut old, old trick of a $1,3 0 draft, which they could not get cashed until noon, and needing some money Im mediately he was In a quandry as to how to obtain it. With true southern gallantry Schnlder offered to loan them 170, but de- c.lned to tske the draft for security. They Insisted, however, and tcld Schnider to watch their suit cases, In one of which they tald was a large amount of gold. Schnlder waited about two hours and then hied himself to the police station, told his story and gave a description ot tho two men.

SIMS WILL FILE A PETITION District Attorney Will Reek Rehear ing on Probable Grounds of He. rer Hooted In Portions of Opinion. CHICAGO, July tl.-Unlted Statea Dis trict Attorney 81ms announced positively that a petition for a rehearing In the case of the government against the Standard Oil company of Indiana, decided adversely to the government by Judge Grosscup yes terday, would be fllfd. Mr. Sims today received the,' following- telegram from Mr. Bonaparte:. "I feel that you and your assistants have done everything pc-xslble to protect the In terests "f the government and promote Justice." That the petition for rehearing will lay stress on two alleged errors In the quoted portions of the opinion of the court Is the generally accepted opinion of attorneys In terested In the rase. Error in Quoting Record. Local newspapers today print parallel statements taken from yesterday's decision nd from the record of the original trial. This from Ju Ig Grosscup' s opinion "ee and cnrred out In the ruling excluding certain proffered testimony. In cluding thai of one Edward Bogardus, who, being In absolute charge of the traffic af fairs of plaintiff In error, offered to testify that he did not know anything about the 18-eent rate over the Alton road; that his attention had not been called to any such rate by any person, of by the examination of any document, and that it was his understanding and belief. based on what he was told by one Hollands, tariff clerk for the Alton railroad, that the rate over the Alton road was cents, and that such rate had been filed with the Interstate Commerce commission." Following la the testimony of Bogardus before Judge I.andls as taken from page 423 of the printed record: "The witness, in response to questions by counsel for the defendant, waa permitted by the court, over the objection of counsel for the United States, that the evidence was Incompetent and Immaterial and merely the conclusions of the witness and not the facts, to testify as follows: What Bognrdns Sold. "During the years I havo mentioned. 1901-06, I did not see anything about an 18 eent per 100 rate on oil over the Chicago & Alton railroad between Whiting and East St. Louts In any tariff whatever. My atten tion bad never In any way been called to such a rate by any human being, or by the examination of any document of any kind or character, or otherwise. During the period of time mentioned It was rny under standing and belief that this s cent rato regarding which I have testified was filed wjth the Interstate Commerce commission; that understanding and belief was based on what I was told In the Chicago & Alton office by ifir. Hollands. During all that period of time In connection with their shipment of oil over the Chicago A Alton railroad by the Standard Oil company of Indiana as Its representative In that par ticular work I had no Intention to violate any lawful established rate of the Chicago & Alton Railroad company. During all that time I believed absolutely that I was shipping the oil under a lawfully estab lished and filed rate issued by the Chicago 4 Alton Railroad company," - The papers also print an excerpt from the record that Shows where Judge Gross- cup states that Judge Landla referred to the Standard Oil company of New Jersey as no "virgin" offender. Judge Landla really referred to "the defendant." namely, the Standard Oil company of Indiana. The two points given. It la believed, will form the groundwork of the petition for a rehearing. Government's Course Uncertain. WASHINGTON. July 2S.-In reference to Attorney General Bonaparte's statement from Lenox, Mass., that an appeal cannot be taken to the supreme court of the United States from the decision of thu federal court of appeals In Chicago in the Standard Oil case, It was stated at the Department of Justice today that no ap peal lies jinder tha present law to the supreme court from a final Judgment ol the circuit court of appeals In a criminal case as matter of right. The government, however, has a right to present to the supreme court an application for a writ of certiorari. It Is In the discretion of the court, however, whether a writ of that character prayed for should be granted. Up to this time no decision has bi-en reached by the government as to whether the Standard Oil case will be taken to Judge Landts' court for rehearing or an ap plication made to the supreme court for certiorari, but It Is understood to be the purpose of the - officials to act vary promptly In this matter. CHICAGO, July 23. If application Is made to the supreme court for a writ of certiorari In the government case against the Standard Oil company of Indiana, It will be done by Attorney General Bona parte. This statement was made today by District Attorney Sims. FIRE BURNSJJNE WORKMAN Caused by Pantorlum Employe with Benalne-Soaked Clothes Step plug on Match.

CALL OF MEETING IS IGNORED Order ia for Attendance Ipoa Pro ceedlng-s Condemning: Old Build ings and Action Walts a, Dny. Policemen were called upon Thursday morning to go out Into the highways and byways and compel city councllmen to at tend a special meeting. The special meet ing of the council was called for Wednes day morning for -the purpose of listening to condemnation proceedings against a number of dilapidated buildings. Only six members appeared and the meeting was ad journed for a day. Thursday morning seven councllmen answered the roll call. Eight are necessary for a quorum and Chief Ponnhue was re quested to send out a policeman and nab another councilman wherever found and take him to the meeting. After the re quest was made Councilman Funkhousor arrived, and In a short time the policeman came In with Elsasser. Fifteen buildings were condemnod by the council as being in a dilapidated and un safe condition. Thoso condemned are build ings at 701-3-5-7-8-11 racific street, 1612 Cum ing street, 38M-18 Leavenworth street, 1C.13-15-17 Chicago street, 1G21 Cuming street, 209 South Twenty-ninth street, 81J North Seventeenth street. Some remarks calculated to arouse laughter were made by the derelict councll men, but some of the interested taxpayers who happened to be at the council chamber placed a different construction upon tho at titude of the city's servants. One mal seemed to voice the sentiments of all when he said: "It Is high time that these councllmen were learning that they are paid by the city to attend to the city's business, and whenever the city has business to be trans acted and they are notified It Is their duty to transact that business. The Idea of city councllmen having to be forced by the po lice department to go to the city hall and look after the Interests they are paid to look after may strike some of them as funny, but I Imagine it doesn't strike many of their constituents that nay. It's dis gusting to me." Hemnrd for Incendiaries. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July Z.
