The Body Of w Kramer Found In Cellar
WITH the Throat Cut.

WIFI tho Throat Cut.
NEW YoRE, Nov 12.-Ihe dead body
OF W. Kramer was foundjn a cellar by Eu-
gene Cromcien. "a plumber in tho employ
Of the Standard Gas company. Kramer
had & few days before rented the first floor
Of the two story building at 1869 Second
avenue, and was preparing TO open a
cheap restaurant there. He was a Ger
man, about 40 years of age.
An examination Of the dead man show
ed that the murder had been "A brutal and
horrible one. The left eye, entirely cut
from its socket lay near the corpse's head.
There was q huge, ugly cash clear through
the skull across the left eye, and the
throat was cut from car to ear.
The room in which the body was found
was a small Kitchen in the rear of tho
room which was TO have been used as
restaurant. Pots and pans We're scattered
about the room. The stove was overturn-
ed, and the walls were spatterod with
blood
1t was evident there had been a severe
struggle before no yielded up his life.
Close beside tho body were found a long
butchers knife and Ratchet Both were
covered and clotted with blood
Deputy Coroner O'Hanlon said that the

probably killed Kramer, and the murder
er cut his throat afterward TO make sure
thoro would bo nobody left to toll any
tales Kramer had been dead for some
time, at least 36 hours, probably longer.
The police believe that the motive for
the crime was robbery. Kramer when last

bills in his possession. There was not n
cent found on the body nor about the.

The Recent UDhenvnl OF the Earth.
There Is no wonder that tlmld people

The sction taken BY the Liquor
Dealers League In the matter Of
violations Of the Sunday law, is nor
only wise one but Is highly cre'lfsbl'
to that organization.
Although the traffic Is BY the gel j
public. looked upon with no Favorable
eye, the men who are engaged In IL are ~
rule law abiding citizens, and who are
decidedly averse to seeing the laws
broken, and are opposed to those who
violate them. They recognize that the
saloon keeper who sells liquor to minors
to habitual drunkards. or on Sunday, not
only transgresses the law but also brings
the business into disrepute. BE not only
renders himself liable TO punishment, but
also hurts every one in the same line Of
business.
The police authorities are to a great
extent powerless TO prevent, and unable
to punish blenders. The Law requires
that case shall be fully made out
against an offender befors no can BE-
made liable to the penalty prescribed
and it Is q very hard thing TO secure the
evidence sufficient to insure this result.
An cihcer may have strong reasons TO
believe that a man is selling liquor on
Sunday or otherwise violating the law,
but unless he can catch the man in the
nct his hands arc tied The members OF
the Liquor Dealers Lsague have the
means TO detect, to punish and 20 stop
these violations, aud they recognize that
ia order to secure and retain any sort o
standing in the yes Of the public they
must act
The action taken by the league last
evening, when delegation visited the
Police Commission, insisted on the rigid
enforcement Of the law, and promised in
the event OF the poles being unable to
accomplish anything so take the matter
in hand themselves, was step IA the
right direction
There should be no, waiting for failure
on the part Of the police. One or two
eases OF convistion aud summary pun
