CId-Time Chess Plaver

Car! August Walbrodt, whose death
is reported from Berlin, was one OF
the well-known masters of modern
chess and among the Germans was
ranked second only to Tarrasch. He
was only 80 years old, yet had been a
conspicuous player for about a dozen
years. His early successes were re-
markable and unbroken until 1894.
when he was beaten by Tarrasch.
He was a player of the intuitive sort
and could never be induced to take up

They have BEEN Identified

Ihe Missing Link Supplied In the
Case Against T.. Seymour Bar
ington, thnreed With the Murder
OF the Man Who Had Bcfrieudcd
Him,

ST Louis. Sept. 24.-Mrs. James p
MeCann called at the mounted district
police station Wednesday morning and
weeping bitterly, identified the cloth
ing found by Henry Mosely on the St
Charles electric road Tuesday, as part
OF that worn by her husband on the
night of his disappearance.
The police found the trousers worn
by the missing man on the night that
he went toward Bonfils station in COM
pany with Lord Darlington, who is
held at Clayton on the charge of hav-
ing murdered him
The trousers were found near where
the bundle containing the coat, shirts
and buttons were found by Mosely.
Mrs Mccain was positive in her
Identification of the garments. She
will go to Clayton, where she will APP
pear before the grand jury.
The discovery of the trousers
Wednesday morning. ends the search
for the garments of the missing man
The clothing was found by Mosely
under a trestle of the St Louis, St
Charles & Western electric road. about
a mile and half from the quarry in
which the body supposed to be that of
Mccain was found
1t consisted of two gold collar but
tons. one bearing the initials MEGA
four-button sack coat, pepper and salt
pattern, which the police say is of the
same goods as a sample furnished by
McCann's tailors; a shirt of similar
pattern with the cuff found near the
quarry; an undershirt, bloodstained.
lie supposition is that McCann's
murderer threw the bundle into the
creek, which was then almost level
with the trestle, expecting it TO float
away or sink, but that it became
lodged against the trestle. 1t is sup
posed that the buttons which were cut
off of the coat are at the bottom of
the creek, and search for them was
begun Wednesday morning.
From the inside of the coat had been
torn the tag bearing the name of the
maker and other efforts to conceal its
ownership were evidently made.
With this find all the clothing. with
the exception of the drawers, are ac-
counted for. The cuffs, shoes and 9TH
er articles found some time ago were
between the quarry and the bridge
where the coat and shirts We're secret
ed, and it is the opinion of the officers
that Darlington unknowingly dropped
them as he walked from the quarry.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
The Canadian Attorney General
Concludes His Argument Hc-
for the Commission.

London. Sept. Attorney General
Finlay concluded his argument in be-
half of Canada at Wednesday morn
inS's session of the Alaskan boundary
commission. He received the thanks
of Chief Justice Alverstone and the
congratulations of Messrs. Root and
Lodge or his lucid" explanation of
so technical and comprehensive a sub
ject.
The attorney general made 1t clear
that Canada wants, above everything
access to the sea. and American coun-
sci said that every effort would be
made by them to convince the tribunal
that the treaty contemplated a barrier
between the Dominion and the ocean
and that the question of territory is
not important, provided the shores and
inlets remain in the possession of the
United States.
David 7. Watson, of Pittsburg, of
counsel for the American side, opened
for the United States, describing the
purchase of Alaska, and stated that
the United States published in 1867
| the map issued by Russia in 1926. one
year after the treaty with Great Brit
| ain and that no protest was made
| against the boundary therein fixed,
either by Great Nritain or by Canada.
Mr.. Watson pointed out that ii was
| three years after gold was discovered
| the Yukon territory that Great
| Britain made her first formal notifica-
| ton that she would question the title
| If the United States to the heads of
| nlets. The correspondence prior
| hereto referred to the actual demarca-
| ion line en- the ground, but TO queS-
ion as to the accuracy of the boundary
| claimed by the United States. as UNI
gersally shown on the maps, had ever
previously been formally raised by
Great Britain.
A. B. Aylesworth. X c., of Canadian
counsel, remarked that in 1867 Canada
had no concern in the question, and
had no right to interfere with IN OBJ
| lection. as her territory was not ex-
tended to the Pacific until 1871.
| Mr.. Watson continuing, quoted the
reports of the surveyeor-g general of
| Canada, in 1874, agreeing that the line
was across certain rivers which were
emptying at the head of the Lynn ca
nal. and argued that Canada hereby
acknowledged the United States claim
to the heads of inlets.
