Mr.. Rose-Innes. addressing the court,

THE UNKNOWN WAS
VICTIM OF FOUL PLAY.
rIan Whose Body Was Recovered at
ScarbOrO Beach Was Dead When
Thrown Into Water.

The man whose body was found at 6
o'clock yesterday morning by the Point
Judith life saving patrol on Scarboro
Beach. as told i'm yesterday afternoon :
News. was unquestionably victim OF
foul play. An autopsy was conducted
late yesterday afternoon by Dr. Hor-
ace Wilcox at Wakefield. The exami-
nation showed that a heavy blow had
been dealt on the right side OF the alb
domen and another on the breast. Both
hands had been tied 10 the legs. but one
had slipped out when the body was
found. The body had not been in the
water more than from ~ TO 10 hours.
and, possibly. much less.
Bits OF boat, stove in, were found
near the place where the body was dis
covered, eight hours later, burt the two
are probably not connected. If the man
was killed at sea and thrown over
board, the crime was committed not
far from the coaSt. The victims cloth
ing was nearly new. lie was evidently
well-to-do. III he was not killed for
money, it was very likely for revenge.

Another Theory.

on THE other ha'el. there are several
persons who incline 10 the opinion that
the man met his death on shore rather
than on board boat. They argue that
If a man as powerfully built as this one
was had been attacked on a steamboat
the noise which the scuffie would have
created would have been likely TO have
attracted attention. ON the other hand
ii is arguedthat the four handkerchiefs
are indications that the man was trav-
cling.
Before the autopsy was held the pos
sibillty that the knots might have been
tied by the dead man was considered,
but when the post-mortem examination
disclosed the fact that there was no
water i'm the lungs. all doubts as 10
whether or not the knots had been tied
by some one else were removed The
body will be prepared for burial and
will doubtless be bureid AIT the expense
OF the district unless some identifica-
zion lis forthcoming.

Where The Body Was Found.

Narragansett Pier. being half way to
Point Judith. Aside from one or two
houses near by. il ds a lonely spot at
night, the life saving patrol visiting 1t

unmistakably that the persons doing
the murder were not familiar with rope.
A free end of the rope which bound
the hand TO the leg, some is Inches IN

Was He Thrown From Steamer (?

Cant. Knowles of the life saving sta
ton expresses the opinion that the man
may have been a passenger on one or
tn Sound steamers and been caught In
"a dark corner late at night, alter TN
passengers had nearly all retired, and
there been murdered and robbed, tied
up while unconscious and thrown over
board. capt. Knowles said also that !t
was equally possible that the man had
been murdered at Narragansett Pier or
at Newport and the body lhen thrown
into the sea. The wind was blowing
very strong from the southeast all
Thursday night. and heavy sea was
running and this would have made 1t
possible for the body 10 have drifted
the seven miles from Newport to the
place where il was found.

The Secretary of Agriculture, Hon.
James Wilson, of Iowa, who has recent
ly completed an extensive tour of the
west, is much impressed with the pos.
sibilities Of the western country
through irrigation. Out of an appro-
priation of $4,000, made by last con-
gress, his department is making a
broad investigation of the subject in
the arid region. The cooperation of
the Agricultural Department and the
Geological Survey will bring together
information about irrigation, water.
supply and lands suitable for reclama-
ton, which will enable congress to de.
termine exactly what can be done in
the west. 1t then only remains for the
western people to state their demands.
through their congressman, as one
voice, to secure the recognition from
the National Government which they
have been denied thus far through in
ability to 'get together" on IL broad
national irrigation policy. thus giving
the eastern men a good excuse for re-
fusing the west its proper share of re-
cognition and appropriation.

Ten New and Original Songs which can

Ten New and Original Songs Which can
he l,ud Free.
What will the great metropolitan
papers do next? This is the question
some ono asks nearly every day. But
there is one which leads all others. It
has gained the sobriquet of "America's
Greatest Newspaper" by just such re-
markable pieces of enterprise as the
one which has just attracted the at
tenticn of the press all over the coun-
try.
Last week the New York Sunday
World announced that it would give
away al album of new and original
music, consisting of ten of the up.to-
date class of songs that are now so
popular, such IS songs of sentiment,
"coun' songs, s'cakewalks," etc. These
ten songs the Sunday World proposes
to distribute II each week, with every
copy of the Sunday World. When it
is considered that the average price of
new music. written and composed by
popular authors, is from 30 to 40 cents,
the unparalleled enterprise of The
World in giving the song away with 81
big Sunday newspaper for which only
D cents is charged, is apparent. The
World requests that we publish the
following announcement:
!. Music Album free. From Septem-
ber3 to November ), the Sunday World
will issue weekly a song in sheet music
form, with handsome colored cover.
The entire set will be mailed, postage
paid, for 80 cents. Remittances re-
ceived after September will get the
back numbers and each new number
issued. Besides the song, The World
will also send its colored Art Portfolio,
which is a marvel of journalism; it's
Sunday magazine which equals the
Weekly. which excells every comic
weekly in the United States except
two, and in it's comic scope equals
these two 1O-cent publications.
Write a postal card to the Sunday
World Music Editor, Pulitzer Building,
N. Y, for a list of songs.

The verdict against Dreyfus in his
court martial trial at Rennes, has been
received with storms of p%rotestation
the world over. Justice was never
more stealthily throttled than in the
trial of that man whom the world be-
lieves to be innocent of the crime
charged against him. Christian civil
isation has been debauched by the mil.
itary powers of France, and if the
g1sat wrong thus committed is not in
sene manner modified, the great Paris
Exposition planned for next year is
HDely to feel the effects Of a modern
