Clancy May Recover, Ev-
en- With Fractured Skull.
Hammer, the Probable Weapon,
Found Near the Scene.
Police Certain That II Was an Assault
With Intent 10 Rob.

Portland. Me. Sept. 1J.-Thc city and
county authorities worked together
until midnight, tonight, in All effort to
solve the mystery surrounding the
case ot Charles Clancy. who WAS found,
yesterday, with a fractured skull lying
in the stable of Fl. NJ. Cashier at
Stroudwater where he WAS employed
as a hostler.
Early today the county officers said
that they were certain Clancy had been
murderously assaulted for the purpose
of robbery and that an arrest might
he expected during the day. Late to-
night. however, they announced that
no developments were in sight.
At the Maine General hospital, to-
night. Clancy was reported as consid-
erably better and it was thought he
would recover.
Several times he has regained con-
sciousness sufficiently to say that he
thought a horse had kicked him, but
the evidence since gathered by the po-
lice discredits such an occurrence.
Following his usual custom. Clancy

and went to the stable. 4 short distance
away from the house. A short while
latcr he was found lying III a pool Of
bfbpd on the stable floor. He was I'M
conscious and blood was streaming
from Il deep cash in his head. The in
jul ed man was found by John Brink, a
driver of one of the heavy farm teams.
The police were at first inclined to
believe that Clancy had been kicked
by q horse but the statement of Fore
man Singer of the stable. that a pock-
etbook which Clancy had usually car
ricd was missing, led TO an invcstiGd-
ton. Clancy was found some distance
from the stalls and there was no evil
dence that he had been near the
horses.
Footprints were found in the stable
ward. These tracks. evidently made by
new ovcrshoes or rubber boots were
| traced out towards q field back of the
stable. The police are certain that the
tracks were not those Of any of the
men employed on the farm.
What is thought to be the weapon
with which the assault was committed
has also been found. 1t Is a heavy
| hammer belonging to the stock OF
| blacksmith tools used at the farm. II
| was found concealed under heap OF

Mr.. Bryan Presents His
Idea to President.
Submit All Questions Of Dispute
To an Impartial Board.
Mr.. Bryan Also Congratu|ates President on
His Peace Success.

Lincoln. Neb.. Sept. IA letter adj
j. Bryan in which plan for the pre-
vcntion of war is suggested. was made
public. last night. Mr.. Bryan cOngrat-
ulated the President on his success in
bringing Russia and Japan together,
and says:
'Why not ask Congress for authority
to submit all international questions
(when agreement cannot be reached by
parties interesteD to an impartial
board for investigation and report. In
vestisatiOn will in nearly every case
remove the cause of complaint and
reconcile the parties. Questions which
a nation might be unwilling to submit
to arbitration in advance could be set
tied by investigation by an impartial
board.
ut was a glorious thing to end the
war between the Russians and the
Japanese, but it would have been more
glorious to have prevented the war and
saved the frightful loss of life. The
moral prestige which our nation now
enjoys would in all probability enable
it to lead a successful peace movement.
The congratulations which you have
received from the hands of European
governments strengthen the chance of
success.
eff the leading nations of the world
would enter into an agreement to join
in the creation of such a board and
pledge themselves to submit all dis
putcs to the board for investigation be-
fore declaring war. the danger of war
would be reduced to minimum.
