BODY IN A BARREL.
Murdered Man Found Near the New
York Docks.

York Docks.
New York, April IA murder was
discovered early to-day, according to
the police, by the finding of the body
of man, apparently an Italian, in a
barrel in East Eleventh street, near the
docks. The mans throat was cut from
ear to ear.
The first and only clew found during
several hours search was the letters
"W. t." painted on the bottom of the
barrel, but the police think that these
letters will aid them a good deal in re-
vealing the mystery.
The well kept condition of the hands
and nails of the dead man indicated
that he was not a laborer. The police
say that he wore expensive shoes and
may have been in good circumstances.
The police discovered in the coat pocket
of the dead man bit of paper with the
words in Italian translated as Come,
come in a hurry" The police believe
this was part of a decoy letter.
A small, perfumed woman's hand
kerchief was found in the barrel.
Coroner's physician, DIR. Albert I.
Weston who performed an autopsy on
the body of the murdered man, said
that he had found eighteen additional
stab wounds in the neck, besides the
two deep gashes that had severed the
jugular vein, thereby causing death
The physician said that the autopsy
showed no evidence that there had
been struggle. He advances the
theory that the man had been held so
that he could not move, while his as
sailants, in order to force him to 8 tell
something they wanted to know, tor
tured him by making slight stab
wounds in his neck.

BONDS OF NORTH CAROLINA
Furnish Cause for Litigation With
South Dakota.

Washington, April 14.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day heard ar
gument in the case of the state of
South Dakota versus the state of North
Carolina, involving the legality of
bonds issued by the latter state in
1866 to aid the construction of the
North Carolina Railroad.
Originally the bonds amounted in
the aggregate to $4,000 but all but
$250O0o of them, which were owned
by New York parties, were compromis-
ed. OF the bonds which were not thus
settled, $4,000 worth were presented
TO the educational fund of South Da-
kota for the purpose, it is claimed
by the legal representatives of North
Carolina, Of giving the Federal Su-
preme Court original jurisdiction.
The case was argued for South Da-
kota by Wheeler H. Peckham and
for North Carolina by George Roun-
tree, j. H. Merriman and Joseph E.
Shepard. North Carolina contests the
suit on the ground that the bonds
were not legally issued and also chal-
lenges the jurisdiction of the court.

Threatened n Break in n MISSISSIPPI
nj Lcvee.
New Orleans, April 14.-Prompt and
effectice work to-day arrested the
threatened destruction of Waterloo
levee, about 70 miles above the city
on the east bank of the river.
A crawfish hole had developed near

IS to 20 inches. For a time there was
much apprehension that the levee,
softened by the length of time the
water has stood against it, would go,
but timely alarm was given and after
a day of hard work the source of the
trouble was made reasonably secure.
Considerable progress was made at
Hymelia to-day in the construction of
the new 500 feet of cribbing to en-
close the break in the old line.

cred 1913 late in the day, a fall of a
