Lord Beaconsfield, though he often
wrote English for the queens speeches,
did not always write the queens Eng
lish. The old errors that sprang up in
a crop in "Viyian Grey" yield a sufii-
cient aftermath even in the fragment

cOmplishing our end, to which l am not
less devoted than yourself, is the reli-

America" says Disraelfs Hartmann,
but does not say what he means. That
old superfuous "and" had been trap
for Dizzy from the beginning Of things.
Il will not go down to posterity as one

GIRL MURDERED
And BODY HIDDEN
Was Assaulted and Robbed After a
Desperate Struggle
SUSPECT UNDER ARREST

New York, Sept 1S.-The body of
Augusta Pfeiffer. % years old. who had
been criminally assaulted, robbed and
strangled, was found in a clump of
bushes on the Pelham road in the
Bronx. Coroner O'Gorman issued a
warrant for the arrest of Joseph
Girard, driver, charging him with
the murder. Coroner O'GOrman said:
I'VE have traced the movements of
Girard UP to the time of the murder
and to within 200 feet of the place.
We have also traced the movements
of the girl up to $50 o'clock on We'd
nesday night. when she boarded a
ThrOggs Neck car. The two undoubt-
edly met The mans clothing has been
found, aRd consist of overalls and
jumper. These are smeared with
blood
Miss Pfeiffer had been somewhat ex-
pensively dressed. but when the body
was found the dress was torn into
shreds. There was every indication
that she had made a most desperate
struggle before she was overcome.
After she succumbed rings were torn
off her fingers and the body was
dragged from the spot where the
crime was committed to a consider
able distance and concealed in a tan
gle of briars.
The body was found by Mrs A. H.
Black. She had been visiting friends
and passed along the road on her way
home AS she neared the shed she
was attracted by the red ribbon on
yellow straw hat lying on the grass.
She went over to the spot and was
Mortified to find the young woman
lying there, with her clothing dishev-
eled and her features badly bruised.
Mrs. Black ran screaming along until
she met a bicycle policeman and told
him her story. He Immediately notified
Captain Burfeind, and the machinery
of the police was set in motion.
One of the victims shoes was found
about - feet from the body. and the
white sole of the uncovered foot was
soiled by mud. showing the body had
been dragged for some distance be-
fore being abandoned by the muir
derers.
Miss Pfeiffer was well known and
in the neighborhood in
which she lived. She left her boarding
house about S O'Clock on Wednesday
evening to meet her brother. and car
ried a small dress suit case in which |
she intended to put her clothing. This |
case was found near her body. The |
walk from the street car to her home |
is a lonely one, and it was while on
this that she was assaulted, according
to the police theory. The autopsy |
showed that she had been dead about |
IL hours when her body was discOV-
cred.

mo AUTHORITY FOR
EQUITABLE LOAN
"High Finance" Disclosed in Report
Of President Morton.
ENTER SUIT TO RECOVER MONEY

New York, Sept. 20. = That the
Equitable Life Assurance Society paid
out S21S,264 to the Mercantile Trust
company in connection with certain
loans known as the Turner loans,
and that these payments were without
authority. so far as the records of the
society disclose, became known when
Paul Morton, president of the society,
made public a report on the subject
submitted by him to the sOciety's di-
rectOrs.
These transactions occurred in what
Mr. Morton refers to as "the Turner
loans" The Turner loan" Mr.. Nor
toms report sets forth. was carried in
1894 by the Western National Bank.
which was controlled by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. The collateral
for the loans was objected to by a
bank examiner, and Henry B. Hyde
then agreed to transfer the loan and
collateral to the Mercantile Trust
company. At that time. apparently,
the loans amounted to 1861, ,491. George
v. Turner, in whose name the loan
stood, was secretary to Louis Fitz-
gerald. then president of the Mercan-
tile Trust company. and a close busi-
ness associate of Henry B. Hyde. The
loan was guaranteed by Marcellus
Hartley, John E. Searles, Louis Fitz-
gerald, W. N. COler, Jr. and H. B.
Hyde. On March 21, 1895, the same
guarantors renewed their guaranty,
the loan having grown to $1,276,47S,
the increase being due to attempts to
develop the property on which the col
lateral for the loan was made. This
collateral proved to be of little value.
'The records of the society" said
Mr.. Morton. disclose no authority
whatever fsr these payments, and the
cash entries in respect to them were
very obscure"
Mr.. Morton referred the matter to
special counsel who have assured him
that the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety is not responsible for the loans.
Mr.. Morton has also notified the Mer-
camille Trust company that he will ex-
pect it to repay the s71S,264 paid to it
by the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety.
Mr.. Morton found that $265.OO0 was
paid by the Equitable Life Assurance
Society to the Mercantile Trust COM
pany on the $6S5,OOO loan. the nature
of which loan has never been ex-
planned. Counsel have been instructed
to begin proceedings for the return of
this sum. This loan was carried on
an account known as the 81. w. A.
No. 3 account" Mr.. Morton also re-
ported to the directors that it would
be necessary to charge off $86.4SS un-
paid balance of a loan to John E.
Searles, who had gone through bank
-uptcy. The collateral against this
5S6, 4SS Mr.. Morton declares is without
value.

Operators Won't Grant s-Hour Day, But
Will Continue Present Agreement.
Scranton, Pa, Sept. 2O.-One of the
biggest coal operators in this region
who has just come from Philadelphia,
where he had a conference with Presi-
dent Baer, of the Reading, declares
unhesitatingly and for publication that
the operators will not, under any con-
sideration, grant the demand of the
mine workers for an eight-hOur day,
and that they propose to agree only
that the present agreement shall be
continued. Announcement to this eff
feet will be made, he said, after the
miners hold their convention in Sha-
mollin, December IA.
"An eight-hour day." the operator
continued, would be equivalent to a
II per cent. increase in the miners
wages. If we granted that il would be
necessary for us to raise the price of
coal. and the public would not stand
for that. We are willing, however, to
roadopt the present agreement with
the miners, perhaps with some modifi-
cations that can be mutually decided
upon.
81 was speaking to President Baer
the other day. He said that nothing
would be done until the miners finally
formulate their demands at the Sha-
mOkin convention on December IA and
present them to us for our decision.
The operators will not entertain the
day proposition that is a
certainty"

Is against the Russian feeling, against
Russian pride and against the whole
history OF the country.
There is the belief that although
on the verge Of the first meeting the
two missions appear very far from
agreement, once the plenipotentiaries
are in the conference Dom the po-
sition Of each will be greatly modified
and that they will make an earnest
effort to come to terms.
Although she has prepared an IRE
ducible minimum, japan will not
present this in such a form. There
will be demands In the Japanese pro-
gram which her plenipotentiaries are
empowered to modify. In short,
Baron Komura and Mr.. Takahira will
present Japan's program In as diplo-
matte a form as possible.
On the other hand, the Russians
do not hesitate to reiterate that they
will have no trouble in reaching an
agreement provided Japan's terms ap'
pear to them reasonable. But" add.
ed a member Of the Russian mission,
Japan must remember that we were
not forced to these negotiations. We
have the alternative Of continuing the
war indefinitely without the prospect
OF loss OF territory. We have come
to the conference because of a real
desire for peace, but not because we
are unable or unwilling to continue
the war indefinitely"

IRON WORKERS TO STRIKE.
All Employees Of American Bridge
Companv Ordered Out.

Cleveland. Aug. S.-The P~laindealer
says: Orders were issued from the
headquarters of the International AS
ISOLATION of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers by Secretary Mcnamara
for a general strike against the Amer
lean Bridge company from Maine to
California. 1t is estimated that be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 bridge and
structural iron workers will quit work.
Bridge work will be tied up in many
parts OF the country, and a number OF
big building projects will be delayed.
The strike of the iron workers when
1t comes will affect thousands in the
building industry.
The following is a copy of the order
which was sent out to ninety locals
of the union in the United States and
Canada by Secretary Mcnamara OF
the executive board: 1.-THE executive
board orders a general strike against
the American Bridge company, to take
effect Aug. 8. Order includes all jobs
where the American Bridge company
has first contract for erection"
The general strike, according to Sec
rotary Mcnamara, was the outcome of
trouble between the union and the
American Bridge company over the
subletting of a contract to a Boston
concern which the union claims Is
unfair"
