was received. From the continent also
there came announcements of satisfac-

was over and the belief that the era
of peace portended trade revival and
a return to normal conditions.

LORD DERBY Is
BEATEN BY MARE
FAST TROTTER WHICH so BAD
LY DEFEATED BORALMA AT
HARTFORD WENT DOWN BE-
FORE A MUCH SLOWER HORSE.

New York. August 9.-ren good persons
today saw the fast trotter, Lord Derby
(2:O61a), who defeated Thomas w. Law
sons Boraima for the $4,000 stake a week
ago, at Hartford. in turn dereared by a
mare with a much slower mark. The
event took place at the matinee of the
New York Driving club at the Empire
state track.
The trotter that performed the feat
was the bay mare Louise Jefferson
(2:17A). She belongs to C. K. Billings of
Chicago. He was not here to drive her.
so her trainer, Scott Mccoy, handled tho
ribbons, while Mr.. Smathers drove Lord
Derby. The race was a special made
match. Louise Jefferson was sent away
flying, while Lord Derby was rather
slow in starting, and before the half mile
post was reached, the mare held the lead
by a full length. Mr. Smathers urged
Lord Derby on with both rein and whip
but to no effect, for the mare had too
much speed to be headed off. She won
by good length In 209h.

ENOUGH FOR THE NEW YORK
Err, THOUGH HE MADE A FINE
SHOWING.

Worcester, Mass, August 9.-Twenty-
five thousand persons witnessed the final
days race Of the national rowing cham
pionships at Lake Quinsigamond today.
The events called out the pick Of the
oarsmen of the United States and Can
ada, with the possible exception OF the
Argonaut eight of Toronto, which failed
to show on the senior race for such
crews. While every event contained a
wealth of interest for the hosts of spec
tators and many clubmen. probably the
keenest enthusiasm was displayed when
the championship singles was called.
C. S. Titus of New York and Frank B.
Greer of Boston were the only scullers to
show for the race. When the pistol
cracked announcing the start, Greer
bounded away as though it were half
mile. The New Yorker however, was not
long in measuring PAGES with his oppo-
nent, and reached him at the quarter.
They rowed stroke for stroke beyond the
half. Titus gradually being forced IN on
the Worcester shore. Greed pulled out
when they neared the stakes, and scull-
ing desperately, was first to turn by
quarter length, and once straight, started
for home. Titus cut down the small gap
which separated him from MS opponent
and got in front at about the mile. lead
ing at this point by length. Hampered
somewhat by the wash of one of the Of

lead. and was threatened by his oppon-
ent who came along in smashing style,

seemingly having Titus beaten. The Bos-
ton man. however shot his bolt Just prior
to the last quarter, and nearly collapsed

Was Dressing When Killed.

From the appearance of the body 1t was
believed that Mrs. Bartholin was struck
down either while disrobing for the night
or when dressing in the morning. On
the woman's left temple was deep and
ragged cash, two inches long, but DR..

moned, said that in his opinion, 1t could
not have caused death.

served to render the victim unconscious"

after the blow had been struck the
woman was either choked or smothered." F"
The body was removed to an undertake
ing establishment where the coroners in
quest will be held Monday.
The police have abandoned the theory
that Bartholin Is dead and Police Inspec-
home of Mrs. Bartholin, declared tonight
that he was confident that the man is
alive and has not left Chicago. The clerk
of a real estate agent, one of whose
clients holds mortgage on the prop
erty of Mrs. Bartholin, met with Bar
tholin In front of the house on tho
morning of July 80 or August l, he does
not remember which. This fact causes
the police to believe that they will cap
ture him soon- as he has had less than
one weeks start of them.
No Motive Apparent.
There is no apparent motive for the
killing of Mrs. Bartholin or or Minnie
Mitchell, but the police are following
every possible theory. The one that finds
most favor, at present is that tho young
man. being in debt killed his mother, in
order that the equity In the mortgaged
property might revert TO him. While this
theory will not cover the murder OF the
Mitchell girl In any way, the police be-
lieve that Bartholin thought she suspected
him of killing his mother or that she
had taken him to task for telling con-
flcting stories regarding her disappear
ance.
Bartholin and his mother were not on
good terms although they lived In the
same house, but beyond a desire to in
herit her property. there is at present
no known motive for the murder.

Theory That Carney 5arthoIln Is Dead
Has Been Abandoned and Police
Are Searching for Him.
Several Clues.

Chicago, August 9.-with a jagged
wound in the left temple and physical ev-
idence that she had been strangled or
smothered, the almost nude body Of Mrs.
Annis Bartholin was found this evening
buried beneath the cellar floor OF the
house in which she had lived at 410 Ca
lumet avenue.
Coincident with the finding of the body,
the police redoubled their efforts to find
the missing son, William Bartholin, who
is also suspected of the murder of Miss
Minnie Mitchell, whose body was found
in a vacant lot at Seventy-fourth and
State streets last Thursday evening. The
police have evidence that Bartholin slept
in the house on Calumet avenue on last
Thursday night. three weeks after his
mother had been murdered and six days
after he is supposed to have killed Min
ME Mitchell.
The body of Mrs. Bartholin was found
by party of newspaper men after the
police had searched the house and nan
concluded that II the woman had been
murdered, her body was concealed some
where away from the residence All the
rooms of the house had been ransacked,
partitions torn down, walls sounded and
the basement and the premises searched.
Cement Floor Torn Up.
Earlier in the day persons who were
searching in the basement found place
where the cement floor seemed to have
been disturbed. Digging there they found
what at first was supposed to be frag-
ments of human body. Later they be-
came satisfied that a dog had been buried
there. A crow bar, apparently stained
with blood and hatchet, sFhich bore
dark marks, were found IN the base
ment, and the searchers were unwilling
to abandon their task, even after II
| seemed that there was nothing further
for them to do. Finally tonight some one
found a small crevice In the cement
floor, indicating that the cement had beer
disturbed and then skillfully patched
In a moment the men were attacking

The cement was quickly broken away
and then the diggers came on bed OF
white sand.
Digging through this they came upon a
dress skirt. This was dragged out and
other articles of womans wear were
found. When these had been removed the
body of the woman was found 1t was
wrapped in a blanket and practically was
without clothing. there being only a
stocking on the left foot and a corset
