NEW YORK MURDER MYSTERY
Body, of 1'nldpfitlfled Prefly Yoanc
Wuinan. 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.

this county, with the binders first going
Into the barley and oat fields, both of
which are ready. The oat crop la very
good Indeed In aH places w here -the rains of

Is figured that where the water has not
cli owned out Ihe grain that the crop pver
the county will be heavier an.1 the average
will not fall off. There has been little or
no runt appearing- on the grain as yet and
no difficulty la apprehended from this
source. Wheat will be ready for the binder
by the first of next week, and It Is re

won by Kerr, the Caradian. srrlnter, from
two American competitors, Cloughrn, Irish
American Athletic club, and N. J. 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

dressing room. Cloughen and Cartmell

of the high diving contest, Galdzik of the
American team, with six Swedes, one Finn,
one German and one Englishman, having

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

tral Young Men's Christian association, was
the only other competitor, who came rear
Ewry. He did 4 feet 11 Inches. Martin J.

' Tulbot Out of Wrestling.
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,

"New York people are' hot talking much

with Mrs.MIU er, returned Thursday morn

"Utlca Is my old home and It is

publican nominee ovlce president, and
I want to tell you that Sherman Is a strong
man hi his home oily' ind' state," added the
doctor.' "People are Hot generally talking

consider the campaign one-sided. They
seem to feel that Mr. Bryan la not even In
the race. - 1 made diligent Inquiry among
men who are In touch with politics and
with the people and I could not discover
any Bryan sentiment. '
'In the west we have heard much talk
of labor going overwhelmingly for Btyau.

EASY MARK FOR GRAFTERS
Texas Gent la Taken In on One of
Oldest of Confidence
Games.
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.

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

"The witness, in response to questions by
counsel for the defendant, waa permitted

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:

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.

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."
