Compromise Reached on Plans
for FOriIfcatiOns
KING EDWARD INTERESTED
EngIand's King Is Believed to Have
Suggested . Modus Vlvendl Be-
tween Norway and Sweden
to Avoid Trouble.

Karlstad, September 1e.-The first o1i-
cial announcement that the delegates OF
Norway and Sweden we're approaching
an understanding in their efforts to estab-
lsh a modus vivendi for the countries
as separate governments, was given out
tonight at the close of the joint session
of the delegates. This announcement
reads:
''The probabilities are that in the near
future the negotiations can be brought
to definite result"
This somewhat cryptic announcement is
accepted as indicating that the negota-
tons have finally reached stage where
an agreement is in sight and that re-
sort to arms which might have involved
other powers may safely be considered
to be out of the question. At this hour
the delegates and other officials decline
to throw further light on the subject
Of the negotiations which will be resumed
tomorrow.
Compromise on Fortlfcations.
It is taken for granted. however. that
compromise has been reached on the
subject of Notifications, which has been
the crux of the situation since the start,
ana tnaI the main questions Will pe drDl-
trated.
1t is believed here that considerable
influence was brought to bear on both
sides. looking to concessions by which the
wounding of the sensibities of the people
of either nation might be avoided and an
entente between the Scandinavian people
secured.
Owing to the silence of the delegates
and the carefulness with which we'll
informed persons on both sides guard the
secrets of the conference, it would be
unwise to speak on the proceedings which
led to the decision to issue the Official
announcement, coupled with the resump-
ton of sessions of the delegates toInor-
row. lead to the inference that only
the basis of terms on which Sweden will
consent to a dissolution of the union were
settled, but as both sides up to this
morning appeared firm in their demands
regarding the fortresses there is good
reason to suppose that mutual concessions
were made.
Were In Conference Alone.
Prior to the assembling of the confer
ence a few minutes before 9 o'clock to-
night, Premiers Lundeberg and Michael
sen, respectively of Sweden and Norway,
were In conference alone.
The Iateness of the hour of adjourn
men made 1t impossible to obtain the
results of the conference or the delegates,
results of the conference of the delegates,
and 1t is believed that the next few days
will see an amicable ending of the con-
ference.
The report that the powers had made
representation to Sweden was based on
the fact that Great Britain France and
Germany offered their services IL they
became necessary.

Bruised and Battered Form Tells
Tale Of Tragedy
GARMENTS TORN TO SHREDS
Form Was Concealed In a clump of
Bushes and There Is Not the
Slightest Means of
Identity.

New York, September 16.-The finding
today of the body of handsome young
woman about % years of age, lying bruis-
ed and battered in a elump of bushes
near the ePlham road in the Bronx, re-
vealed one of the worst crimes with
which the police have had to deal in
many years. In an autopsy tonight 1t
was shown that the woman had been
criminally assaulted and cholxed to DEATH
There was every indication that she had
fought desperately. Her garments were
torn almost to shreds.
Detectives Search for Clue.
Tonight the body rests in the Ford
ham morgue, while half a hundred detec-
tives, are endeavoring to establish the
victims identity and to find some clue
to the murderer. The body had been
dragged to the clump of bushes from
point some distance away. Mrs. James
Black, who owns the property, found ths
body while she was wandering about the
place Ordinarily the murder might have
gone undiscovered for many days. for
the body was well concealed In the
bushes in spot that is unfrequented.
Inc girl was Ieet InCHeS III HtlBHt
of fair complexion with brown hair and
blue eyes,
Empty Suit Case Found.
An empty suit case was found near
the scene of the crime, but neither on
this or any article of clothing found, was
there the slightest means of Identity.
The cause of the death was given as
suffocaton and the autopsy physicians
were of the opinion that the woman had
been dead about twelve hours.
Evidence points to the fact that at
least two men were implicated In the
crime. That the woman was roDped. is not
doubted, for nothing OF value was left
upon her person. while her fingers show
that rings which she must have worn.

IN WiSE'S MEAT MARKET YES.
.TERDAY, ACCORDING TO s.
WHEELING REGISTER.

The West Virginian has always in.
sisted that there are two ways of
telling a story but it appears now
that there are at least three, and may
be more. We gave an account of the
Lilly.Smith fight at the Wise meat
market yesterday, and our local con.
temporary gave one-a very meek
and tame one. Not so, however, with
the story sent out by Fairmont
Times reporter to the Wheel
ing Register That was real
rapid stunt, and we give it as 1t ap'
peared in this mornings edition.

anything but that. Lilly pounded hi

SWEET SINGING
OF the Chicago Lady Entertainers
Was Much Enjoyed.

The Chicago Ladies entertained a
very appreciatiye audience in the
Grand last evening, and while the au-t
dience was not as large as was hoped
a very fair sized crowd greeted their
appearance. Each number received
an enthusiastic encore and they re.
sponded kindly in each instance to
the demand. The character read.
ings by Mrs. Clark displayed origi-
nality Of thought and a close observ-
ance Of race characteristics. Her
readings were new to her audience in
most instances, which added greatly
to their enjoyment.
Miss Langworthy possesses an OK.
ceptionally sweet and clear soprano
voice and delighted her hearers in
every instance.
Mrs. MERGERS beautiful contralto
voice gave the keenest pleasure, her
full mellow voice holding all as by q
spell until the last clear note hat
died away. S
The numbers rendered by the quar-
tette wereo exceptionally good, ant
met with ready praise.

was one that could i'll afford TO hav'

last night would welcome n repetitio
