MURDER MYSTERY GROWS.
No Clue to Identity of Body Found
on the Pier at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug 8.-An inter
esting feature of the mysterious death
of the woman whose body was found on
the lake front pier is the remarkably
large number Of cases Of missing wOm-

An average of half a dozen a day have
been reported to the police. All are
cases of women of about the age of the
woman whose body was taken from the
lake. and friends and relatives of the
missing women have vainly sought to
identify the remains.
The body was so decompOsed that
identification was almost impossible ex-
cept by the teeth and it's general ap-
pearance 1t was, therefore, taken from
the morgue and buried in the potter's
field. The clothes have been kept and
may yet lead to an identification of the

The police have not entirely acqui--

by the boathouse attendants must of
necessity mean murder. They point to
the fact that the autopsy showed abso-
lutely no evidences OF strangulation or

TEN BREWERTES UNITE.
Big Combine in Chicago Backed by
New York Capital

Chicago, Aug. S.-Negotiations for a
merging of about ten independent local
breWeries are on the verge of being
cOnsummated. Attorney Harry Rubens,
who has the deal in hand as the repre-
sentative of New York capitalists, left
for New York yesterday afternoon at 8
o'clock, expecting that tomorrow the
big transaction would be finally closed.
The negotiations have been pending
for a year. Different causes have work.

principal among them being the out
break of the war.
Originally it was intended to include
Is to "a plants in the cOnsOlida ton. but
as certain matters pertaining to the til
tie of a number of the properties could
not be cleared up in time to satisfy the
New York capitalists, who insisted on
the negotiations being brought to a To-
Gus, it was decided to go ahead with
about ten breWeries. Later an endeav
or will be made to bring together the
breweries left out.
The new company will be capitalized
a about SIS per barrel of capacity. The
output of the plants, figured on the
basis of the year 1897, is said to be in
the neighborhood of 900 barrels,
which will bring the capitalization at
about 81 500 600 OF this amount about

ter, who had been missing since July f.
With sObS and tears she said that her
daughter had been marriedto a Chicago
man, cutter in a tailor shop She was

husband. He was jealous and many
times threatened to kill her. Though
afraid of him, the daughter persisted
in living with him
According to Mrs. Becker's story
both the woman and husband disap-
peared about July 4. at least that was
the last time that she has been able to
hear from them. She was to return to
do so, and she could not be found at
the Wright street number given.

later the weight was gone.
Concluding it had been stolen. he left
for home and had paid no further at
tention to it until he had read the story
of the weight being found upon the
corpse of the woman. The weight at
pearance very like his but there were
so many of the same size, weight and
fashion that it would be impossible for
him to identify it absolutely.

as follows:

element the publica ton must have oc-

needs of our cities and the national bust

The following circular has been sent
broadcast over the country from the office
of Secretary Easley.
The changes which have occurred in the
war situation since the call was issued
for the national conference on foreign poll
icy of the United States at Saratoga Au-
gust 10 and 20 have worked to largely in
crease the interest in that meeting. Since
the terms of the propose treaty of peace,
a officially announced, show that the
great problem of the disposition of the
Philippines is left open, the committee
will make no change in that part of the
programme, but the growing demand for
the building of the Nicaragua canal has
suggested the practicability Of giving rec
OgnitiOn to that question.

The commercial interests of the United
States will also be given an important
place in the conference. The committee

make up complete programme for the
conference, but simply to furnish a few
representative speakers who view the
problems from different standpoints. The
rest of the programme will be left open to

LEADER IN JAIL.
Oshkosh Strikers Were All at Sea
Yesterday.

Oshkosh. Wis, Aug. S.-The striking
WOOdwOrkers here were deprived of
leader over Sunday on account of q
clever coup executed by the mill men.
Mr.. Thomas 1. Kidd, the recognized
leader of the strikers was arrested
second time Saturday night and Kept
in custody over Sunday. thereby pre-
venting him from attending the usual
Sunday labor meeting and advising the
strikers as to the next step to be taken
by them.
The arrest was made on a civil action
for damages brought by the Paine
Lumber company in connection with
the strike and subsequent riots. The
strikers were led to suppose Mr.. Kidd
had left the city of his own accord and
did not know he was under arrest. To
prevent any possible trouble he was ia
ken to a neigboring city over Sunday.
Strong guards of special police were
stationed at the various mills today.
but there was no disturbance. This is
the thirteenth week of the strike and
with few exceptions the strikers
ranks are still unbrOken.

SHE SWALLOWED THE PINS
Miss Head Held Them in Her Mouth
While Arranging Her Hair.

st. Louis, Aug. S.-Her practice of
holding pins in her mouth while she
made her toilet may prove fatal to Miss
Maggie Head, a young woman, % years
old, living at 1116 Cass avenue. She
worked in the PEPPER tobacco factory.
Last Wednesday, after her days work,
she prepared to brush up and go home
She put several pins in her mouth while
she fixed her hair. Just then one of the
factory girls came bouncing along and
accidentally collided with Maggie. In
the jar she swallowed two of the pins.
She went home very uneasy, and says
she has eaten nothing since. She got
along without much inconvenience,
however, until yesterday. Shortly be-
fore o'clock, while standing in the en-
ploymept bureau at 113 South Sixth
street. she was seized with commissions.
An ambulance was called, and she was
sent to the dispensary.
The doctors did what they could to
relieve her, and forwarded her to the
City hospital. An examination by Drs.
Suffer and Dean showed the pins were
lodged in the wOman's oesOphagus. She
was in too much pain for an operation,
but one will be performed this morning.
The doctors say they had an instru-
ment by which they hope to remove the
pins without cutting through the Wo-
mans throat. Her condition is regard
ed as dangerous.

FIRED ON THE JAIL.
A Mob Tries to Rescue Prison
ers at Tampa.

Tampa, Fla, Aug S-Early this
morning a mob tried to rescue three
negro teamsters of the regular army
incarcerated in the Jail here. An armed
guard ordered them to desist, but the
mob opened fire on the Jail. A volley
was poured into the crowd from the
upper story of the building and several
shots took effect The wounded were
carried away by their comrades and the
raid was unsuccessful.
The party attacking the jail was COM
posed of members of the Ninth cavalry.
The trouble was precipitated by the ar
rest and Incarceration of soldiers from
that regiment at st. Petersburg, a
small town across the bay, several days
ago. The men were arrested by the
town authorities and brought to the
county jail at Tampa for safe keeping.
The regiment was ordered to leave here
last night for MOntauk Point, L. l., and
all were aboard the train, when the
memory that their men were in prison
stirred their company comrades to at
tempt their rescue.
Accordingly, about thirty of the men,
armed with rifles and revolvers, march
ed and demanded the release of the
prisoners. They were told that they
were not in the Jail, but they made a
thorough search before they were sat
isfied, and then proceeded to the county
jail, where the prisoners really were.
The jailer was notified by telephone
that an attack would be made on the
Jail, but the soldiers arrived there be-
fore any preparation for defense could
be made. On arrival at the jail they
demanded that the jailer give up the
prisoners, which he refused to do.
In a short time the whole city was
themselves, and by midnight the streets
were crowded.
