San Francisco.
Nora Fuller's Nude Body Found
in an Unoccupied and Iso.

She Disappeared Four Weeks
Ago..Evidence That She
Was Strangled.

San Francisco, Feb. 10.-The mys-
year-old Nora Fuller whose nude body
was found on bed in an unoccupied
house on Suffer street. remains un-
solved. The result of the autopsy has
made 1t practically certain the girl was
chloroformed and then strangled. Altho
she disappeared four weeks ago, when
she met man calling himself John
Bennett in answer to an advertisement
for a girl to care for a child, the

dence that she was strangled is found
in the fact that there were abrasions on
her neck and that cord, small, strong
and measuring seven feet in length.

in the toilet. On the strands .,re blood
stains Two handkerchief covered

attempt had been made to burn the
handkerchiefs, but they were only par
TALLY destroyed. There was nothing to
indicate that the girl. and Bennett. who
under the name of C. b. Hawkins. is
believed to have rented the house. lived
there. A dispatch from Muncie, Ind,
says that three months ago, there dis
appeared from that place bar Keeper
who is alleged to have taken away $3,-
500 belonging to Mrs. Sarah Williams.
The police of the country, it is stated
have been requested to arrest him. His
description answers that of c. B. Haw-
kins or John Bennett, who rented the
Sutter street residence. The police.
however are without positive clew
to the supposed murderers identity.

Groton, Mass, Feb. 1O-The oondi-

crisis in the disease will be reached

days are likely to show some seemingly
unfavorable reports, but they will be

SALARIES TOO SMALL.
Taft Says Good Help Can Not Be Sc
cured in Philippines at Salaries Paid
in the United States.

Washington, Feb. 10.-In continuing
his statement concerning conditions In
the Philippine Islands before the SEN
ate committee on Philippines today,
Governor Taft said the estimate for
preliminary expenses in those islands
must include considerable outlay for
school buildings. 1t was necessary he
said, to make salaries from 20 to 25
per cent higher than in the United
States. In this connection Senator
Culberson made inquiries concerning
salaries and allowances of the commits
sioners of the Archipelago. rs each
of the commissioners paid $4,000? he
asked" No was the reply. When we
first went out the commissioners We're
each paid $4,000 and the chairman
$4,000 and in addition there was an

500 respectively. When i was ap-
pointed civil governor 1 was allowed

Gen. Wright and Judge Ide have as

There is much entertaining necessary.
and the cost of everything is greater

goes so fast that it seems to melt,
Taft added that the commission had
nothing to do with fixing the salaries
fo Its own members, that having been
done in Washington. but he said it was
impossible to secure services of compe-
tent men for responsible positions with
out paying better salaries than are paid
here.
