Three boys who were hunting for
muskrats yesterday afternoon on the Ice
covered swamp west Of Monroe street.
between Fifth and Sixth streets. Hobo
ken. were badly frightened by discover
ing portions Of a human body. Their
attention was directed to the CHASTITY
ind by the bowling of a terrier that ac-
companied them. The dog persisted in
paving the Ice. and when one Of the boys
went to the spot he saw underneath the
outlines of the bones of an adults hand
Patrick Hayes. of No. ass Madison
street. ran to Police Headquarters with
the news. and Chief OF Police Donovan
sent several policemen and City Physi-
clan Simon to the meadow. They found
an excited throng of people surrounding
the swamp.
The ice was quickly broke away. and
a search made that resulted in finding
portions OF a human arm, leg and a sec

were removed to Volk's Morgue. They
were almost denuded Of flesh and had
evidently been in the swamp for weeks.
City Physician Simon thinks the frag-

a reckless medical student.
Chief Donovan expressed himself as
satisfied that there Is no dark mystery

have been disposed of In any such way,
and said the student would be arrested

bones will be buried to-day In the Pot

BY Mayor Hsrrisoa's Assassin in
His Cell ct Chicago.

The World has obtained from Patrick
Eugene Joseph Prendergast a written
statement OF his reasons for assassinat-
ing Mayor Harrison. of Chicago. When
a member of The World staff called on
the condemned man In his cell at Chi

Crazy as a LOOM was The World mans
opinion after the interview.
Prendergast absolutely refused to make
any detailed statement Of why he COM
mitted the murder for which he has
been sentenced to death. but. after a
good deal OF persuasion. wrote the note
given below and handed 1t out between
the bars. The signature is a photo
engraving OF that mad in the Jail at
Chicago. The statement follows:

the WORLD FREE BREAD FUND,
THE WORLD, New York.

The World knows much Of the great
charity that Is hidden in New York 1t
believes that purse-strings will be loos-
ened and that to It's contribution OF 20. 900
loaves will be many other thousands OF
loaves. Maybe you will smoke one less
cigar a day. That will support life
twenty-four hours.
When the depot opens at No. 80 East
Houston street to-day 5000 loaves OF
fresh. sweet bread. with crisp, brown
crusts. will be piled up on the counters.
They will be full loaves. Weighing eigh-
teen ounces. and there will be rye and
white bread. At 8 o'clock the starving
poor will file through the store and re-
ceive the good. life-giving food.
As long as money for the bread comes
In and there Is need for It, the depot
will remain open.
VIII your loaf be there?
1t is all very plain. the relationship.
A nickel means a loaf.
A loaf would feed a hungry man for a
day.
A dime-two loaves-will support a
family for a day.
They are waiting for these loaves.
Send your share, whether 1t be one loaf
or a thousand: and send 1t quickly, that
the food may earlier beneht those who
need IL.

wasted figures and pinched faces tell
more than n written report could. Old
men. homeless, ragged n almost help
less, will come there and receive bread.
Children will bring baskets almost as
large as themselves, which will be
filled with bread. Mothers will place
the precious loaf between themselves and
their babies. and take 1t to the quarters
they call home n divide 1t.
II you do your part, there will be
bread enough for all. How many of
those 125. 900 persons who are out Of work
are wondering where their next meal
Is coming from? Some were thrifty. and,
no doubt, had little savings laid by for
a rainy day. The rainy day has be-
come a deluge. n it Is sweeping saw
ings and people off the face Of the earth.
THE STORY OF ONE MAN.
How many men will follow the ex-
ample of William Diamond? He killed
himself Saturday. He tried to kill his
wife. as well. but in this he failed.
When he was a driver on the Twenty
third street crosstown line he and his
wife lived comfortably and happily. A
couple Of months ago he lost his Job.
They had saved no money and he could
not find another place. Want caused
him and his wife to separate. She went
back to her parents, at No. 40 West
Nineteenth street. Lack OF work and
despair drove him to drink. Perhaps 1t
was lack OF o. o that made the drink
affect his brain Saturday. At any rate.
he sent a bullet into his wife's cheek and
another into his own brain.
There are many who are In more des-
perate straits than was William Ola
mond. They endure sufferings which
most OF us who dine well when we are
hungry cannot understand. All through
the east side inc In man. other parts
OF the city people are waiting. For
what? To know whether death or bread
will reach them first.
What are you going to do about It?
1t is a personal matter. 1t lies be-
tween you n your own conscience.
your own humanity. The general facts
have been presented to o Specific and
exact accounts OF the condition Of per-
sons who come to the depot for bread
will be presented for your attention
later on. Throughout the city there will
be distributed circulars. which give the
situation in a nutshell. Read It:

that its duty does not end with the mere
giving. It knows thai the fact that 1t
takes charge Of the movement is a guar
antee to those who contribute that the
fund will be used to the best advantage,
that every penny Of 1t will be converted
into bread and find It's way into the
mouths Of the hungry. 1t is the province
and duty Of q newspaper. as 1t is of an
individual. to lessen suffering and to
make he world better and happier.
Few persons who will read this can
understand what 1t means to be without
food. 1t IL n Of those things so fright
full that 1t cannot be brought home to
them. They say: 'Surely people can get
something to eat somewhere. enough to
support life. They can go to their
friends" For the stricken ones there is
no somewhere" Their friends are as
destitute as themselves. There are men
90 weakened from lack Of food that they
cannot work II 1t Is offered to them.
The ree-bread fund Is based upon the
principal that every man, woman and
child in his city has a right to live,
and when the necessities Of life-when
food-is denied him II Is the duty, yours
and mine, to help him all we can. The
free bread relieves the most pressing
necessity that man knows. 1t Is certain,
Immediate. direct. To those who are
wasting away II restores life.
TIC all we who are hungry, come and

hat Is the motto of this fund. 1t
means everybody without restriction. 1t
has not thought of race. religion, creed
or sex. 1t recognizes nothing save dire
extremity. To those who are starving
II gives food to sustain life.
Do o know what hat means?
WHAT HUNGER MEANS!
This newspaper is not large enough to
tell the complete story. and II would
take many months to prepare 1t. But a
few Of the things can be told briefly.
This free distribution OF food means,
among other things, that while 1t lasts
no person need starve to death. 1t
means that II will bring hope In the
most practical form to those who have
despaired and are awaiting death. II
means that the father need not 70 out
upon the weary search for work without
having tasted food. 1t means that the
wife and children at home will not die
while he Is away. for there will be bread
In the h~ouse-good, wholesome. life-giv-
ing bread. In which there Is more nour-
ishment han anything else that could be
given to them.

will be no delay Tor investigation. Those
