BOOK CONCERNS TO coMBlNE
Plan to Merge Two Great Methodist
Publishing Houses.

publishing houses.
Chicago, April IA. - Methodists
throughout the land will have put
before them for consideration and dis
cussion the plan to merge into one
corporate institution the two great
publishing houses of the church, the
Methodist Book Concern in New York
city and the Western Methodist Book
Concern of Cincinnati and Chicago.
The suggestions OF the book COM
mittee of the Methodist general con-
ference, the result of a special COM
mittees deliberations in February,
with a review of the history of the
work of the publishing houses Of the
Methodist Church, will be circulated
in the form of a supplement issued
with the regular edition of the North
western Christian Advocate and kin
dred publications throughout the
United States.
Although final decision on the pro-
posed unification of the two publish
ing institutions cannot be had until
the general conference shall meet in
its regular session at Los Angeles,
Cal. in May. 1904, it is the general
impression that the consolidation will
be effected. It is calculated that an
annual saving of 100000 can be ef-
fected by combining the corporations.

MANSBODY IN A BARRED
Finding of Murdered italian Gives
New York Another Mystery.
VICTIMS IDENTITY UNKNOWN
Autopsy Showed 1s Stab Wounds In
Neck, Besides Deep eashes, Which
Severed the Jusular Vein-Detsc-
tives at Work On Case.
= o. 17-4,.-- =. :

New YORK, April ia muEuer was
discovered, according to the police, by
the finding of the body of a man, ap-
parently an Italian, in a barrel in
East Eleventh street near the docks.
The mans throat was cut from ear
to ear. The body was warm when
found, and the work Of ferreting out
the supposed crime was begun at
once by detectives.
A scrub woman noticed the barrel
on the sidewalk, and she saw hanging
on it a mans coat soaked with blood
She informed the police. The first
and the only clew found during sew
eral hours search was the letters Wv.
T." painted on the bottom Of the bar
rel. but the police think these letters
will aid them a good deal in revealing
the mystery.
1t is supposed that somebody in
tended to throw the body into the
river. after bringing it there in a
wagon. but found the pier at East
Eleventh street closed and dropped
the lead in the street in a hurry fear
ing discovery
The well-kept condition of the hands
and nails of the dead man indicated
that he was not a labOrer The police
saw that he wore expensive shoes and
may have been in good circumstances.
The police discovered the address No
366 Third avenue written in pencil
on the bottom of the barrel, and in
the coat pocket of the dead man a
bit OF paper bearing the words in
Italian translated as Come, come in
a hurry" The police believe this was
a part OF a decOy letter.
A small perfumed woman's hand
kerchief was found in the barrel.
AS No. 366 Third avenue is fur
nished room house, the proprietor, Al
bert Voecks, was taken to the police
station. but said he had never seen
the barrel or the body before. OF 200
Italians summoned to the police sta
ton. none has been able to identity
the body.
Coroners Physician Albert T. Wes-
ton. who performed an autopsy on the
body of the murdered man, said that
he had found IS additional stab
wounds in the neck, besides the two
deep gashes that had severed the jugu-
lar vein, thereby causing death. The
wounds newly discovered consisted of
l2 on the lett side of the neck and six
on the right. Some of them were
hardly more than scratches. while
others were from a quarter to a half
inch deep. All the wounds were in
flicted with a dagger.
The physician said that the autopsy
revealed no evidence that there had
been a struggle at the time the man
was killed. He advanced the theory
that the man had been held so that he
could not move. while his assailants,
in order to force him to tell something
they wanted to know, tortured him by
making slight wounds in his neck.

RELIANCE LAUNCHED
Americas Cup Defender Takes Its
Initial Plunge.

Initial Plunge.
Bristol, r. l.. April 13.-The new
cup defender Reliance was launched
late on Saturday afternoon to the
entire satisfaction of its builders,
owners and the crew OF 25 smi-
ling sailormen, who manned its
deck under Captain Charles Barr.
The defenders tender. Sunbeam. was
decorated with three great American
ensigns. a New York Yacht Club bur-
gee and no end of other bunting. w.
B. Leeds steam yacht Mona came
up from Newport, bringing a number
of guests. Then came the steamship
Satellite, the Constitutions tender,
with more guests. At o'clock a door
in the south shed was opened and 200
invited guests filed in.
It was the common opinion of the
sharps that the new boat would be a
flyer in broad reach and down wind,
blow high or blow low. In windward
work in a smooth sea all agree that
it should exceed the older boats. In
a stiff wind and lump sea some think
1t will pound so much as to be retard-
ed, but | believe that it will slide over
the waves as a tOboggan slides down
a well-iced hill At any rate, she is
nearer the ideal American skimming
dish than any cup boat ever built-a
centre boarder with the centre board
fixed and loaded with lead-and there
is not a lump or a line to offend the
eye in all it's outlines.

THE SMUGGLING CASES
Porto Riean Grand Jury Investigating
Despite Orders From WASHINGTON.

Porto Rican Grand Jury Investigating
Despite Orders From Washington.
San Juan, P. R.. April IA. - The
grand jury is investigating the So
called smuggling cases in which Off
GERS Of the United States navy and
other prominent men are involved. not
withstanding the instructions which,
it is stated, District Attorney Pettin-
gill has received from the department
of justice at Washington not to pre-
sent information to the grand jury this
term. The press and the natives have
practically demanded an investigation,
inasmuch as last term a native nser-
chant named Ricardo Amado was SEN
fenced to a years confinement in the
peniteRtiary and a fine of $500 for
having contraband liquor in his pos
session.
The grand jury came into court and
asked for information. The foreman
said "It has come to our knowledge
that certain cases of smuggling have
occurred. We have asked the district
attorney about the matter, and he re-
fused to bring up the matter, alleging
that he had received certain instruc-
tions. We now ask the judge if we
have a right to information in spite OF
the district attorneys refusal"
Judge Holt had prepared a written
charge. the reading of which caused
sensation. He said in part:
You could not if you desired escape
from the obligations Of your oath by
needing the instructions Of any one.
The honored president of the United
States could pardon, but he could not
interfere. II you believe that anyone
had given instructions tending to pre-
vent the fullest investigation into the
commission of a crime in the United
States. and the returning of an indict-
ment if the evidence so warrants, then
you should be inspired by an add.
tional determination to do your duty.
"TNo co,-~+ hos knowledge of the in
structlons to which the district attor-
ney alludes 1t is proper to say that
it is my opinion that there has been
no intention OF encroaching upon your
sworn duty or the judicial domain"

trary, the president has not fired a
shot at a mountain lion, and has no
intention of doing so. It is estimated

the park, and they are killing large
quantities of deer and elk. A deter
mined effort is being made to exter-
inmate them. and Buffalo" Jones. the
game warden of the park, with his
scouts, is staying them on every pos

fered to round up lion or two for the
president to shoot at. but the latter
has declined the offer.
