Statement of Mr.. Fish's
Death.

vestisation of the circumstances sur.
rounding the death of Nicholas Fish. tho
millionaire banker. who was killed or
Tuesday morning in cafe. today issued
statement giving the lines along which
the prosecution OF the case will be con
Quoted.
According to the district attorney the
affair was nothing but saloon row.
He said:
Il want it understood that there was
no romance and no woman back of the
case. 1t was just a common, low, sa-
loon brawl, in which the passions of two
men, who were strangers to each other
and were both under the influence of
liquor, became infiamed; that Fish
called Sharkey vile name, which Shar-
key resented by punching the banker.
He hit him too hard and killed him.
That's all there is to it.
If anybody called me such name
would have hit out too. Fish did not
know the women, and had never seen
them before. He went into the saloon
because he WAS drunk. and naturally
asked them to drink. as man under
the influence of liquor would.
'-Of course, Sharkey will have to suf-
fer the consequences"

Secretary Hitchcock Says Drought Has
Caused Suffering, But That
Stories Are Exaggerated.

The officials of the Department of the
Interior are most emphatic in their de-
nial of the reported starving condi-
tion of the Navajo Indians in Arizona.
Secretary Hitchcock said yesterday
that there was no truth in accounts
published.
He explained that there had been
great drouth in the country occupied by
the Navajos in the past three years.
and that Indians and white settlers
were suffering heavy losses and much
Inconvenience, but that they were In no
danger of starvation.
Commissioner Jones, of the Indian Af-
fairs Bureau, who recently visited the
Navajo territory with Representative
of New York, states that the
is greatly exaggerated, anG
that every effort is being made to re-
liere what suffering there was, with the
result that conditions were in much
hetter state than two weeks ago.

IDENTIFIED BY HUSBAND
Wife Disappeared, He States, on Tues

at the Time-Robbely Not the Mo-
tie, Police Say.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-Mrs. Anna Pu
liter, wife of Joseph Pulitzer. a tailor
of $50 West Forty-sixth Street. disap
peared from her home on Tuesday night
and this afternoon her body, mutilatet
and anchored by twentypound iror
weight. was found in the bottom Of wha
is known as the Morris Canal cut. al
Kearney, N. j.
That the woman was murdered al
some other place and then brought to
the lonely spot where her body was
found there is little doubt Her skull
was fractured in two places. and there
was surface injury on The light ieln-
pie. and a six-ir.ch cash, made With a
knife, in the right side of the abdomen.
Attempt to Hide Crime.
The body was nude when found. and
there was every Indication OF a careful
attempt to conceal the crime. The mur-
derers were apparently not acquainted
with the conditions prevailing N this
section of the canal when they selected
it as a place to conceal their victim s
body, for at extreme low tide the cut is
almost empty of water.
Mrs Pulitzer was identified by her
husband. Although the identification of
the woman may throw some light on
The mystery of her death, nothing was
learned from her husband that might
explain it.
She left him in their boarding house
at 1Sa West Forty-sixth Street, between
10 and IL o'clock on tuesday night, he
said. meaning to go to bakery to get
him some rolls. The exact motive for
the crime is not cleaf. Pulitzer said
that when his wife left him she wore a
handsome diamond ring, pair of dia-
mond earrings, and other jewelry. Mere
robbery, however, in the opinion of the
police, does not explain the murder.
Mysterious Closed Carriage.
At midnight on Tuesday closed car
riage, with two men on the box, passed
over the Passaic River bridge going in
the direction of Jersey City. There were
no lights on the carriage, and the
shades were drawn so that the interior
could not be seen.
