KILLED BY The CARS
BODY OF UNKNOWN WOMAN FOUND
IN LOWER YARDS THIS
MORNING
NOTHING TO IDENTIFY HER
Body Was Horribly MangIed, and
Supposed to Have Been Struck
by East-BOund MiIwau-
kee Train.

The body of an unknown woman. hor-
ribly mangled, was found by yardmen in
the lower yards of the Union depot. about
fifteen rods above the Dayton's bluff Bur-
lington depot, this morning at 80 O'Clock
She was lying near the Milwaukee track.
and is supposed to have been struck by
the east-bound Milwaukee train at 10: 40
last night. Her feet were cut off, her
head badly bruised and her whole body
mangled in a horrible manner
There was nothing found upon her to
identify her. She was of medium size,
blond with auburn hair, and apparently
about twenty-five years of age. She was
well dressed, but wore no jewelry. Dep
uty Coroner c. A. Haas was called to
the scene of the tragedy and the body of
the woman was ordered removed to the
morgue.. From the fact that no clue
was found to identity the woman no
cause can be assigned for her untimelv
death.
The theory is advanced that she
worked at Newport or one of the near
suburban places, and, missing tie last
motor, had undertaken to walk home
going down the railroad track, and was
struck by train and killed 1t was sug
gested, from the fact that no marks OF
identity were discovered that she NAV
have committed suicide but this is not
considered probable, as the bruises on the
head showed tnat she was not struck in
the head by the cars.

0MPROMISE IN AIR
OYERTURES MADE To BRING RE-
PUBLICANS TOGETHER ON
TARIFF QUESTION
MORE CONFERENCES PLANNED
Opposition to Proposed Reduction of
Duty So Far Declares That
Even 20 Per Cent Drop
Is Unsatisfactory.

WASHINGTON. March 12.-Oyertures
conflict over tariff concessions to Cuba
and there are indications that the two
elements will come together, probably on
a proposition to have the 20 per cent re-
ciprccal reduction apply for one year
from next December and covering the
sugar crop.
1t is understood that Chairman Payne
ana Representative Dalzell made the
overtures toward an agreement One of
the leading members of the opposition
said that Messrs. Payne and DaIzell had
made the suggestion to him and had
asked for an answer. This was followed
by hasty canvass of opposition menl-
bers, which developed considerable Diff
ference of views.
Representative William Alden Smith
said that no compromise would be &C
ceDted until after a meeting at which it
could be considered deliberately
Representative Tawney said the Iimi-
tation OF time was immaterial, and that
no compromise would be accepted which
affected agricultural products without
similarly affecting manufactured prod
uctS.
Soon after the overtures Of COMPROMISE
were made the leaders of the element
opposed to the ways and means COM
m1ttee plan called conference in the
committee room of William Alden Smith.
Some thirty members were present, and
the discussion lasted about two hours
The sentiment was rather unfavorabIe
TO accepting the plan of 20 per cent re-
ductlon for the year from next Deem
Der and some of those present favored
rejecting the plan. But it was urged
against this course that so long as over
lures for adjustment had been made in
good faith it was only proper to meet
the committee representing the ways and
means committee, and Mr. Payne and
his associates therefore We're advised that
they would be met by a committee from
the other side
During tie meeting the statement was
made that one of the beet sugar advo-
Gates had been assured by representa-
tives of the ways and means committee
that the plan of compromise would not
cover this years sugar crop, and would
apply only to the crop of next year, har-
vested prior to December, 1903 Some
doubt, however, existed as to these as
suranceS, and it was considered quite
vital to learn with definiteness whether
the 20 per cent reduction would apply to
two crops or one.
It was stated afterward by tie WAYS
and means committee members that the
compromise plan would affect two crops
-tnat Of this year and next-allowing 20
FER cent off on each. There was no pur-
pose it was stated, to limit the reduc-
ton to single crop. This matter prob
ably will be left to the arbitrating COM
mittee with the indications that the beet
sugar conferees will insist on limiting
the reduction to one crop that of next
year, and with that limitation will be
Inclined to accept the plan of compromise.
A full conference of the opposition to
Cuban concessions will be held tomor-
row pricr to meeting representatives Of
the ways and means committee.

WANT LOWER RATES
MINNEAPOLIS MILLERS SAY FLOUR
EXPORT RATES ARE TOO
HIGH
WILL HAVE HEARING TODAY
Want Same Rates on Export Flour
as Obtains on Wheat Plus
Extra Cost of Hand
ling.

A meeting will be held today in Chi
cago composed of prominent Northwest
ern miuers, representatives of Western
railroads, Trunk line officials and MEM
bers from Central Traffice ASSOCIATE ten, as
Well as representatives of steamship
uneS, for the purpose of considering the
advisability of making the export rate
on flour from the Northwest the same
as the export rate on wheat, plus the
extra expense of handling.
The millers have entered a strong pro-
test against the present rate on export
wheat as compared to the rate on export
r flour, because it enabled the foreign mil
Ter to procure wheat in this country and
grind it into flour and place. same - the
market at a lower figure than the Amerj-
can miller could place the manufactured
product on the market over in Europe.
This they claim is a discrimination, and
should be remedied.
At first they contended for the same
rate on flour as was being made on
wheat, but when it was demonstrated to
them that the additional expense of
handling flour made such a concession
1mpracticable, they submitted a PROPOSE
ton to pay the same rate on export flour,
plus the additional cost of handling.
This proposition, it is said, has been
agreed to by the Western roads, and
in the meeting today they will support
the millers, and by so doing they hope
that they be able to persuade the East
ern lines as well as the steamship lines
to agree to such a proposition.

JUDGE TESTS EXPERT
VALUE OF EVIDENCE GIVEN BY
SPECIALISTS TRIED BY
DEMONSTRATION
DOCTORS FORCED TO PROOF

NEW YORK, March 12-Dr. John H.
Girdner was on the witness stand again
today In the trial of Albert T. Patrick
indicted on the charge that he murdered
William Marsh Rice. Assistant District
Attorney Osborne handed the witness a
bottle of chloroform, a towel and a
sponge and asked him to saturate the
towel and sponge with chloroform, let
them stand half an hour and then put a
match to them. Charles f. Jones testi-
fled that he burned the chloroform- sat
urated towel with which ne said he kill
ed Rice, after it had been on Rice's face
for half an hour The defense OBJECTED
and asked that two physicians, one for
the prosecution and one for the defense,
make the experiment with materials
bought by themselves. This was agreed
to.
The recorder directed that the expert
ment be made at the noon recess. Dr.
G1rdner was excused and the defense
called DR.. Isaac Newton Love. professor
of physical diagnosis and internal medi-
cine att the Post Graduate hospital med
zeal college. He was formerly professor
in the st. Louis Medical college and vice
president of the American Medical as
ISOLATION.
Says ChIOrOfOrm Was Not Fatal.
DR.. Love said that in his opinion in
halation of chloroform vapor would not
cause any congestion of the lungs
In reply to a question reeiting the evil
dence in the case and acking his opinion
as to the cause of Rice's death, DR.. Love
replied: "Old age, oedema and congestion
of the lungs, crippled kidneys, narrow
ing Of the heart orifices and disease of
the entire equipment Of the man"
Gould the symptoms as described and
revealed by the autopsy have resulted
from the inhalation of E. chloroform
vapor?o asked Mr.. Moore, of Patrick S
counsel.
'"They could not" replied DR.. Love
At the afternoon session DR.. Love, on
cross examination, SAID he had no doubt
Rice was suffering from lung trouble
when DR.. Curry made an eXapination
ten hours before death, but DR.. Curry
overlooked it,
Tests Aid the Defense.
DR.. Girdner was recalled He said the
experiments with the towels soaked in
chloroform had been finished. The first
towel blaZed for nine minutes, smoldered
for fifty-one minutes, and, then went out.
The second one burned slowly for fifteen
minutes and smoldered fifty-four min
utes. One third of the material was con-
sumed by the blaze in the first test and
one-fourth in the second one. The
sponges used resisted the action of the
fire better than the cotton material of
the towel.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
produced a false beard and mustache
mounted on wires and asked an oppor-
tunity to pour an ounce of chloroform on
it and hang it by an open window to
prove that the odor of the drug would not
remain on the beard for an hour, as DR..
Curry Rice's physician, said it would.
The recorder would not agree TO this and
court was adjourned until tomorrow.
