The HeadleSs Body Found in a Chi
cago Catch Basin Was That OF
]. J. BarstlOW.

Chicago. March 29.-The headless
corpse found in the catch basin of sew
er at Dunning may be, that of j. j..
Barstlow, a young mining student, VINO
mysteriously disappeared two years ago:
Barstlow was an ardent bicyclist, and
his disappearance has long been puZ-
gle. He attended the Michigan school
of mines at Houghton for two years
where he was noted for his devotion
to wheeling. The last heard OF him
was in July or August 81, 1897, when
he announced that he was about to start
for Chicago on a Dixie to Grand Haven.
Rarstlow boarded on street near Dun
ming. When he left on his trip he had
n sum of money with him. Nothing
was ever heard of him afterward.
The authorities will empty the basin
in an effort to find the head OF the
man if it is in the place. 1t is hoped
additional evidence may be discovered
to bear out the slight clews already pos
sessed in the bicycle shoes and belt
found on the corpse.
To-day workmen engaged in dredg-
ing the catch basin where the body was
discovered, found the skull, embedded
in the slime at the bottom. The skull
was almost devoid of flesh. A vest
ripped and torn. necktie and the other
bicycle shoe and stocking were also
found

of them may come within the scope
OF the Sherman antitrust law as con-
srued by the Supreme Court, others are
not amenable to it.
SO, there is a general disposition to
await a second decision of the court,
which viii come before long in the case
of the Joint Traffic Association, which
has been twice pronounced legal in the
lower courts-as was also done in the
matter of the Trans-Missouri Associa-
ton before it reached the Supreme
Court. The railroad lawyers claim
there are important differences between
the two articles of association and that
the doubtful clause in the TRANSMITS
souri, agreement were modified in the
Joint Traffic Association agreement
with the purpose of avoiding the diff
culues that We're suspected in the for
mer case. Until the decision in the sec
.ond case is announced he railroads may
suspend action. The 1act that the low
err courts in both cases decided in favor
Of the railroads and that the vote Of
single judge i'm a full bench Of nine
turned the scale against them on the
final hearing. furnishes the companies
with ground for hope, at least, that all
is not yet lost and that combination
may not have to be abandoned for COM
petition.

The condition Of things in the dis
tressed and struggling island of Crete
has reached a stage that is a foul dis
grace to Christian Europe. Think of
the armies and men-of-war Of the latter
/ fighting side by side with the barbarous
Turk for the subjugation of a handful
I of brave and valiant Christians who are
determined upon achieving their lib
crty. Like the Cubans, the Cretans
will be satisfied with nothing less than
Jheir absolute freedom from Turkish
domination and all recognition of Turk
ish sovereignty. Both Cretans and
Cubaus have had experience that
teaches them the wovthlessness Of pa
per schemes of local self-government
under their old masters. Nothing but
absolute independence of Spanish rule
viii satisfy the Cubans Only COM
piete severance of all ties, no matter
how slight they may be. between Crete
and Turkey will induce the Cretan in
surgents TO lay down their arms. The
proclamation of autonomy under Turk
ish suzerainty proposed by the block
aiding powers has been laid BY Ike lead
ers Of the Cretan resurrection before
their sub-c-1efs and unanimously and
eppnatically rejected. Nothing but
Union with Greece will be accepted.
Failing to achieve that with the con-
sent of the powers. they say they will
fight for it to the point of humiliation.
This is the situation as it stands to-
day. Crete will never surrender and
the Crown Prince Of Greece has already
embarked to join the army in the
north. which is looked upon as tanta-
nouns to a declaration of war upon
Turkey.
Meanwhile. the murderous work in
Crete continues, while the Christian,
civilized world looks on.

INSURE IN HoME COMPANIES.

In Southern Pines, n. c., on April
2S. there will assemble the Southern
Interstate Insurance Conference. d"
The object Of the conference is to inter-
est the South in Southern insurance.
The arguments used in support of this
Object will apply with equal force to
every other section except the East.
which now gains what the rest of the
country loses by taking out insurance
away from home. The South, however
furnishes the strongest example Of this
drain upon the people. who send abroad
money that should be loaned at home
it being estimated that on every dollar
of the millions sent out to pay for life
accident and fire insurance, but fifty
cents returns in the shape of policies
paid. And it is wisely concluded by
the promoters of this insurance confer
ence that this is too great a drain upon
the resources of the Southern people.
It is the part of wisdom for every COM
munity TO keep its money at home as
far as is consistent with sound and
economical business Judgment and a
due regard for the welfare and conven-
fence of the people.
The proposed conference ought TO be
s5lc To do much that will be of value
to The South in connection with this
subject The members of the confer
euce are to be delegates appointed by
the Governors Of Southern States, Pres
ideuts OF Boards of Trade and Cham
bc.s Of Commerce. Mayors Of cities and
towns. and editors of leading newspa-
rers. Reduced rates on all railroads
will be obtained and there should be a
large and representative gathering.
