SALEM, n. r., March 12.-The head
less body of the woman found frozen
in the ice close to the body of a man in
Delaware bay off Bay Side has
been identified as that of Martha G.
brennan of 1887 Ridge avenue, Phila-
delphia.
The identification was made by
Michael brennan, a brother, and Mrs.
NJ. Burns, an aunt Of the dead woman.
They described infinitely the clothing
worn by the woman DIT the time she
disappeared. They also mentioned the
ring and scapular found on the body.
Michael brennan stated that his sis
ter disappeared on Nov. 20 of last year.
She was nineteen years old and some
what of a fanatic on religion. After
her disappearance it was believed that
she had either fallen or jumped into
the Schuylkill river. The condition of
the body indicated that it had been
in the water for a long time. The
severing of the head was caused, it is
now believed, by the ice.
Coroner Hall at first thought the wo-
man had been murdered. The story
of brennan and Mrs. Burns does away
with this theory and removes all doubt
as to how the woman met her death.

are to examine into the origin Of the
Bristow report so far as it concerns
members of the house. The demand
of the minority for a sweeping inves-
tigation Of every branch of the post

The test on this question came on a
vote which resulted IA to 125, a strict

The climax Of the day was reached
when Representative William Alden
Smith (Mich.) condemned every execu-
tive department of the government for
its arrogant treatment of the only
branch Of the government in direct
touch with the people of the country,
the house of representatives, and
shouted out the nomination. of Speaker
Cannon for president of the United
States. The house Numbered its ac-
%quiescence, members rose to their feet
and fairly shrieked their assent, Dem
ocrats waved whatever was in their
hands, Republicans pounded their
desks, and the packed galleries took
up the enthusiasm and echoed the ap-
plause. When the speaker bent low
over his desk and welded his gavel
vigorously for order his raps only
served as an impetus for a fresh out
break of enthusiasm. Meanwhile Mi.
Smiths time ran ont, and when he en-
deavored to continue, in opposition to
the ruling of the speaker, he was urged
on by the cries Of members on both
sides, but without avail.
The parliamentary struggle between
the Republicans and Democrats came
late in the day. The recommendation
Of the committee that the HAY reso-

aside unanimously. The Democratic
demand for a full investigation finally
came to a vote in the shape of an APP

The United States auxiliary cruiser

United States Minister Powell went
on board the Mayflower to pay his re-

and had arranged for Il meeting be-
tween the visiting Americans and
President Morales and his cabinet.
For some unknown reason the officers
from the Mayflower did not land. Prep
a~rations had been made and troops
had been brought together to give Ad-
mlral Dewey a BETTING reception, and
there was great disappointment in gov
eminent circles and among the people
when it was learned that there would
be no official visit.
1t is said that the troops of President
Morales are being defeated all over the
republic. Porto Plata is again in the
possession of General Jiminez, and it is
expected that the capital, Santo Domin-

very liable to affect the membranes and

people who had not faith at first but

had been missing was found sewn in
a sack in the apartment of a couple
named Klein. 1t seems to be estab-

alone committed the crime. She de-
cOyed Sikora into her lodging. strangl-
ed him, cut off his limbs and then
placed the portions in sack, which
she hid behind a sofa where they were
found. All this was done during the alb
sence of the husband, who, on his re-
turn, slept with his wife in the room
In which the body was lying. After
numbering Sikora, Francisco went to
his apartments and by means of keys
taken from his dead body robbed his
safe of money and stocks to the amount
of several thousand dollars The fol-

vention at Bellingham. a number of
educators were present. Mr. Girard had
already been strongly recommended by
leading educators to the King county
delegation. The educators present at
the Bellingham convention voted and
worked to have him nominated and the
ness for the position from the stand
point of scholarship and professional
efficiency, nominated him without a.
single objection or protest from any
source.
Among all the teachers in the state,
not one has seen fit to question the
professional fitness of Mr.. Gerard for
this office. On the contrary. his fit
ness for the position is universally re-
cogniZed and acknowledged, even by
those who are opposing him. The
school politicians who are opposing him
have not uttered word against him
on the ground of professional disquali-
hcatlon, but are opposing him solely
on partisan grounds. Mr.. Gerard is
unalterabiy committed to the PROPOSE
ton to take the school offices out Of the
