BODY
Oh GIRL FOUND
Another Murder Mystery for
Connecticut Authorities
to URraVOI

Lowell. Mass, June 10.-The head.
less and decomposed body Of a young
woman was found under a heap OF
brush in a patch of woodland in
Chelmsford yesterday afternoon. Muir
der had been committed in a horrible
fashion, for the head had been sepa
rated from the trunk by a series OF
slashes with dull weapon. The
meager clothing affords no clew to the
identity of the unfortunate, and the
circumstances offer a case of interest
outside rather than in the direct com.
munity, as the theory quickly set up is
that the body had been taken into the
woods and thrown in a spot that Of.
fered some seclusion. A physician. on
viewing the body, thought 1t had lain
in the place where 1t was found four or
fiYe weeks. Today the entire neighbor
hood is being carefully looked over, in
hope of finding the woman's head.
Whether or not there were body
wounds remains to be shown by eX-
animation. An embrasure near the
heart may have been fatal One Of the
men who assisted in removing the
body concluded that the abrasion was
from a bullet.

A THIRD TRRM
FOR M'KINLEY
GrOSVenOr Is in Favor Of
Abolition Of Washing
ton Precedent

Cincinnati, June 1O.-"There has
been no time in our history when con-
ditions were so favorable to justify the
election Of president to a third term
as in the case of Mckinley"
The remark was recently made by
Congressman Charles II. Grosvenor.
He continued:
Mckinley is personally the most
popular president we have had in a
long time, and he has certainly most
creditably performed the duties Of the
high Office. l think it is time, further
more. to demolish the fiction that
there is an unwritten law, established
by washington, that no president OF
the United States may accept a third
term. The facts are, as any student OF
the times may discover, that It was
fear of defeat which impelled Wash
ington to decline a third nomination
Being a Federalist, he was the object
of very violent attacks on the part oi
the Democrats of his day, and recog
nized the growing strength of his op
ponents he doubted, as l believe, hi
ability to again secure an election 1
he should rum"
This, with the pronounced declara
ton of Senator Depew in favor OF
third term for Mckinley. would ind
cate that party managers are giyinI
the subject serious thought.

STEAMBOAT LINES
MAY CUT RATES
War May Follow the Ex-
tension Of Service to
Trenton

War Is threatened between the VIII
mingtOn Steamboat Company and the
Delaware River Navigation Company
and a consequent cutting In passenger
and freight rates between Trenton and
Wilmington Is looked for. according %
statements made by representatives OF
both companies. The situation arose,
according to the same persons. from
the action of the Wilmington Steam
boat Company in extending It's line of
steamboats, between Wilmington and
Philadelphia 50 as to touch at Burling-
ton and Bristol, with a terminus at
Trenton. In retaliaulng for this en-
crOachment upon their territory the
Delaware River Navigation Company
officials have announced their Intention
of competing with the other company
for the passenger and freight traffic
between Philadelphia and Wilmington.
The Wilmington company will begin
the operation of its new line TO Trenton
on Wednesday, when the twin screw
steamer City of Trenton will start upon
two round trips each day. Three days
later the Delaware River Company an
nounces 1t expects to begin The opera
tion OF its line to Wilmington with two
steamers. One of these, the John A.
Warner will be taken from the up
river line. and another. the Diamond
State. which was purchased on the
Great Lakes.
The Wilmington Company also an.
nOunces the steamer Quaker City, now
nearly finished, will be put in operation
In the near future between Trenton
and Philadelphia The remaininf
steamboats, of each company will b,
operated as at present
AT present there is an agreement ex
listing between the various steamboat
companies and the railroads fixing th'
freight rates between Wilmington an,
Trenton. These rates are fixed by wha
is known as a freight committee whicl
meets in Wilmington. and on which q
represented each of the interests in
yOlved. Under the terms of this agree
ment any company that proposes h
change the rate must give thirty day
notice. The entering wedge by whicl
this agreement may be broken, accord
/ ing TO the statement of an official of
local steamboat company, is in the fac
that either of the two rival steamboa
companies is privileged tO make its ow
freight rates between Philadelphia an
Trenton. Should this be done, it wa
argued It can only result in cut al
lalOng the line and other companies ca
scarcely help being drawn into IL.

ADDlCKS SAID
TO Be THE CAUSE
OF Keeping Lawson Ont Of
Yacht Club
HAD BUSINESS DIFFERENCES
With GaSman and His Broker, Who
Are Said to Have Influence
in Club

The New York World OF yesterday con-
tained the following:
There has been much public wonder
that Thomas W. Lawson. the Boston mil
lionaire. does not become member OF the
New York Yacht Club thereby acquiring
the right TO race independence himself
II Is continually asked why he has not
averted all the controversy and negotia-
tion growing out Of his desire to have his
boat defend the cup by seeking member
ship IN the organization charged with the
cups protection.
IL Is generally supposed that a man OF
Mr.. Lawson's prominence with his
wealth. and with a yacht upon which the
highest skin has been expended, need only
crook his finger to get into the New York
Yacht Club.
One OF the reasons advanced for the fact
that he stun remains without the gates ~
that j. Edward Addlcks, the Delaware
gasman, who would a United States sem
ator te, IS a power In the New York Yacht
Club, and that Mr. Lawson and Mr.. Ad-
dicks are not friends. Their alleged differ
ences are said TO have grown out OF a
business transaction. in Boston several
years ago. In which Bay State Gas stock
played part.
Whatever may have been the influence
lof Mr. Addlcks, as against Mr.. Lawson. Il
Is said that there are other reasons, an
tedating the business matter noted, that
operate against Mr.. Lawson for member
ship IN the exclusive body OF yachtsmen.
Al one time Camille Weidenfeld. who
was the New York broker for Mr.. Ad-
dicks, offered TO propose Mr.. Lawson for
lmembership I'm the club. For some reason
which he has not made known, Mr. Law
SON declined to allow Mr.. Weidenfeld to
present his name.
Since that time Mr.. Lawson and Mr.
Weidenfeld have had business Disagree
ment-a very bitter one. It as said-and Il
Is safe TO presume that II # Is Mr.. Law
sons wish now 70 enter the club he would
lhave 70 make his peace with Mr.. Weiden-
field as well as with the Delaware polIti-
clan.
