IT IS reported that thousands of petl-
tons will shortly begin to pour into the
legislature advocating the passage OF the
Mann bill regulating the granting OF
liquor licenses. 1t has been decided by
the Anti-Saloon League of Virginia to
pursue in connection with the bill the
same policy it adopted with reference to
the Barbour-Quarles measure in the
constitutional convention. The draft OF
a petition is now being drawn by Judge
Mann. Several thousand will be struck
off and sent broadcast throughout the
State TO be returned to the Office of the
league in Richmond with the signatures
OF business men, clergymen and all
others in favor of temperance legislation.
From the league Office they will be sent
direct to the legislature. This measure
when before the constitutional conven-
ton cost the State thousands of dollars
in wasted time that had to be paid for
and was finally sidetracked. 1t is hoped
that the legislature will pay no attention
to the threatened petition nor waste
any time is discussing the matter. There
are already enough liquor laws on the
statute books and all that are passed will
not prevent those who wish TO do so from
drinking whisky. The New England
prohibition laws, after which all others
are fashioned, are farce, as liquor is
sold and drunk in that section and the
States receive no revenues from its sale.

NAKED BODY OF A WOMAN FOUND
POSTURE AND CONDITION INDI-.
GATED THAT SHE HAD BEEN
MURDERED.
EITHER sTRANGlfD OR POISONED
POLICE ARE AFTER A MAN WHO
HAD BEEN SEEN WITH THE
YOUNG LADY.

San Francisco, Feb. ia mysterious
Huruer resembling in some of it's
features the noted Durant case is now
puzzlins; the police department Of this
city. The body of Nora Fuller, a six
teen-year-old girl who disappeared
from her home Jan. II, was found lying
naked on bed in the upstairs back
room of an unfurnished house at 2211
Suffer street yesterday. The girl had
been dead some time as decomposition
had begun. There was nothing in the
house to indicate the means used to
take her life, but the posture of the
body and it's condition, together with
the disorder of the room, indicate that
the girl was murdered. An autopsy
d!sculosed that death was not due to
ratuaral causes. All the organs of the
body are in normal condition. The gen.
eral theory is that the girl was either
strangled or poisoned. On both sides Of
the neck are discolorations which may
have been
Made by Finger Tips.
The city chemist Is examining the stom-
ach for evidences of poison. Nora Full
er left home Jan. II, and met man
known as John Bennett in response to
an advertisement for a girl to take
care or a baby. She met the man at a
restaurant, and thereafter all knowl-
edge Of her was lost. On Jan. the
house in which the body of the girl was
found, was rented by man giving the
name of c. B. Hawkins. The general
descriptions Of Bennett and Hawkins
tally, and 1t is thought that the two
names were aliases of the same man.
Both Bennett and Hawkins are said to
hov {~%x
old. about six feet in height and weigh
ing about ITS pounds. Each wore a
brownish red mustache. Bennett wore
clerical clothes and claimed to have
studied for the ministry. The police
are working on the theory that they
were the same men. A possible motive
for the murder is found in the sug-
gestion that the murderer either quar-
relied with the girl, or feared his rela-
lions with her were about to become
public.
