A MURDER MYSTERY
Boston Police Working on Alice
Browns Case

BOSTON, Nov. S.-The first important
to clear away the mystery in the life of
Alice Brown, found murdered in Corn
ing street house last week, is the arrest
of William Leavitt, blind song seller
who lodged in the same house with the
woman, charged with the crime. Upon
what evidence Leavitt has been taken
into custody the police refuse to state.
Leavitt for the past four days has talked
much about the murder, but he has been
allowed to follow his customary occupa-
ton. The fact that the woman was
strangled to death instead of killed by
a more usual method with some instru-
ment has been considered for some days
as a particularly strange aspect of the
crime and might seem to show that it
was a blind mans only method Of dis
posing of his victim. The police believe
that Leavitt has spent portion of his
life in states prison in other states,
some of them in the west, but for what
offenses they are at present unable 20
ascertain.
The murdered girl was positively iden-
titled tonight as Mary Alice Ruderham
of Ridge Center. The Identification was
made by Mrs. Lucy S. Brown of Cam
bridge, for whom the girl worked about
year ago and whose name she assumed
when she left and took up her abode in
this city. A sister Of Mrs. Browns as
we'll as a neighbor also identified the
dead woman and the statement is taken
by the police as conclusive.

The Torres and Prietas Railway

Col. +. II. Seymour, who for many
years has been extensively engaged in
mining in Sonora, has recently turned
his attention to railroad building. and
now has in course of construction the
Torres and Prietas railway, a line
that will eventually tap the vast min
ing districts of the Yaqu river
The road is now completed from Tor
res, Sonora. to the celebrated mining
camps of Minas Prietas and La Colo
rada, and daily trains make close con-
nection for these points with all trains
of the Sonora railroad. A telegraph
line is owned and operated by the new
road.
Wells, Fargo G. Co. have extended
their express service over the line of Mr..
Seymour's road so far as completed, SO
that now, for the first time, the great
mining camps above mentioned are in
full touch with the business world.
Colonel Seymour's long residence and
successful business operations in Mex
leo qualify him to judge accurately of
the resources of the country, and from
the fact that he is building railroads
through it, without the aid of the gov
ernment subsidies or foreign bond buy
ers, it may be accepted that his faith in
the future of Sonora is unbounded.

INDIAN AFFAIRS
The Annual Report of Commissioner
Jones

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The annual
report of Commissioner Of Indian AZ
fairs w. A. Jones, made public today,
shows there We're thirty-seven contract
schools in operation last year. The
government has between three and four
million dollars invested in Indian school
plants.
The loss from fire for some years has
averaged s350,000 or more annually, and
fire protection is now being introduced
in the schools generally. The total
number of allotments to non-reserva-
ton Indians approved was 1926 on reser-
vations; YaKimas in Washington, 304 ;
Mission Indians on the Temecula reser-
walton, California, IS; Chippewas in
Minnesota, 2159.
Recommendation is made for the rati-
fication by congress of the treaty ne
gotiated on October II, 1891, with the
Piutes on the Pyramid lake reservation
in Nevada for the surrender of the
southern portion of the reservation,
which includes the town of Wadsworth.
The citizens of Wadsworth are without
title, and are regarded by the govern
ment as intruders on the Indian lands
The Indians feel aggrieved on account
of trespass, and the matter has been for
years in an unsettled condition.

CAPTURED WHILE ASLEEP
An italian of Murderous Proclivities
Safely Landed

Officer Talamantes did some smart
work last night when he landed Domn-
ico Dezutto behind the bars of the city
Jail on charge of assault with deadly
weapon. Dezutto is the man who, in a
fit of humor, drew a gun on one Anton
Zarro last Saturday night in saloon
at ia New High street, and ended up by
cracking the unfortunate man on the
head with a wine bottle. AS a result
Zarro lies in the receiving hospital in a
poor condition. officer Talamantes.
who is on the Sonoratown beat, being
furnished with q description of the cul-
prit, kept his weather eye open. and
was rewarded by seeing fellow an
swering the description enter the Cam
pidoglio hotel at about o'clock, where
he remained for fully an hour and a
half The officer finally got tired of
waiting, and went into the saloon, de-
termined to get his man. Mr.. Merlo,
the proprietor, however, strenuousy
denied the presence of the man in the
building, and the officer began to har-
Dor misgivings as to his brilliant cap
ture. However, he procured light and
visited all the rooms in turn. The
search was unsuccessful, and the officer
was about to leave when small room in
the rear of the building caught his eye.
In he walked, and found DeZutto asleep,
with his hand under his pillow. Raising
the pillow he uncovered a 44-caliber
bulldog revolver and Talamantes, who
is something of humorist, removed the
weapon and woke the man. Dezutto,
however, denied his identity, and swore
that he was somebody else. But, on be-
ing questioned, he explained the
whole affair. On being asked if he had
a gun he first said that he never carried
such a thing. Talamantes finally in
duced him to tell the truth, which he
did, and was then asked for the weapon
Finding that the officer had already OBJ
tanned possession of it, he mildly re-
marked that had he been awake he
would have shot his captor. He will
possibly be arraigned tomorrow.

Chicago Makes Objection to Imported
Cut Stone

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-As the result Of a
conflict between National Secretary j.
+. McHugh of the Stone Cutters Union
and the heads of all the central bodies
in Chicago, including the Building
Trades Council and the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor and many prominent local
labor leaders, it has been decided to
formulate demand in the name of or
ganized labor that clause be inserted
in all contracts and sub-contracts for
cut stone work for the new postofiice,
requiring that the stone be cut in Chi
cago. The amount involved will be
81, $50, 900.
1t is urged that this will prevent con-
tractors from having the stone cut by
cheap labor and shipped here in compe-
tition with union wages.
If the demand be successful, the plan
will be extended to keep, if possible, the
entire government expenditure amount
ing to about $4,0OO,O0O in Chicago.
