CRIME IN THE BRONX
Murdered Woman Found in
New York Suburbs.
BODY HID IN BUSHES
NO MARK OF IDENTIFICATION
DISCOVERED.
Half Hundred Detectives Trying to
Establish the Victims Identity
and to Find a Clue.

NEW YORK. September 16.-The finding
today of the BODY of a handsome young
woman, about twenty-five years of age, ly-
ing bruised and battered in a clump or
briar bushes near the Pelham road in the
Bronx revealed one of the worst crimes
with which the police have had to deal in
many years. An autopsy tonight showed
that the woman had been criminally as
saulted and choked to death, There was
every indca ton that she had fought her
assailants desperately. Her garments were
torn almost to shreds. Tonight her body
rests In the Fordham morgue. while half
hundred detectives are endeavoring to es-
tablish the victims identity and TO find
some clue to the murderers.
The body had been dragged to the clump
of briar bushes from point some distance
away. The spot selected for the crime was
near a famous old tree known to the resi-
dents of the Bronx as the haunted oak"
because of the memory which fingers of the
hanging of spy on one of its branches in
the American revolution.
Mrs. James Black. who owns the prop
erty. found the body while she wander
ing about the place gathering wild flowers.
Ordinarily the murder might have gone un-
discovered for many days. for the body
was well concealed in the bushes In a spot
that is unfrequented.
The girl was ) feet . inches in height, OF
fair complexion. with brown hair and blue
eyes. An empty dress suit case was found
near the scene of the crime, but neither
on this any article of clothing was
there the slightest means of identification.
The cause of death was given as suffoca
tion, 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 impli
cated IN the crime. That the woman was
robbed Is not doubted. for nothing of value
was left upon her person. while her fingers
show that rings which she must have worn
were torn from them.

pairing the report for Commissioner Gar
field. which. 1t is understood, the President
has virtually decided must be ready in
some form for the Information Of Congress
this winter. The special agents have pro-
cured much data bearing on the general
subject under investigation, much of which
is new and original
Standard and the Railways.
But 1t is known, that because of handi-
cap in the organic law of the Department
of Commerce and Labor some of the most
vital information they have obtained can
not be utilized by the bureau of corpora
tions. This pertains to the relations be-
tween the railroads and the Standard OIL
Company, by which the Standard has a
distinct advantage over all of its competi-
tors in the United States. The organic law
OF the department exempts the railroads
from the inquisitorial authority of the bu-
reau of corporations, and for this reason
it is not considered at all likely that the
evidence secured by the bureaus special
agents bearing on the relations between the
railroads and the Standard Oil Company
will be available for the of Commits
soner Garfield's forthcoming report.
AS an illustration of what is meant by
this it is only necessary to state that at the
outset of the investigation numerous of the
largest independent Oil concerns in the
United States provided the bureau with
evidence showing that while they were do
ing prosperous and constantly growing
foreign business, 1t was virtually impossible
for them to enter the home market because
of artfully devised determinations against
them by the railroads in favor of the Stand
ard. This is particularly true of the ex-
perience of the largest competitor of the
Standard in this country, a concern known
as the Pure Oil Company, with headquar-
ters in Philadelphia.
This company, by the way, Is under the
mana agement of w. w. Tarbell, a brother
of Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell the Nemesis of the
Rockefeller crowd The Pure Oil Company
has virtually abandoned the home market
altogether, but is doing a very large and
profitable business In all parts of Europe
There are other oil concerns in the United
States which claim that they are unham-
pered in the markets of Europe, South
America and Asia, but are unable to do
any business in the United States because
of railroad discrimination in favor of the
Standard If this line of evidence should
be included in the forthcoming Garfield re
port it goes without saying that 1t would
strengthen the Presidents railroad fight in
Congress this winter. But it is believed
that it will be rigidly excluded, for the
stated

He never built a library

He never built a library
He didn't have the cash;
He didn't seek to turn the world
From follies vain and rash;
And yet he loved his fellow-men
And sought to bring them ease
He scattered ashes on the walk
When it began to freeze,
And, though forgotten by the world,
His way perchance he'll go,
The neighbors will remember him
Veneer it starts to snow.
And fame will sound its praise sincere
In humble words like these
Gle scattered ashes on the walk
When it began to freeze"

Man Who "Butts" in First.


Look for opportunity, and when it
comes rush in;
Don't wait because you fear you may
not have the strength to win;
There may be others who could do
your task with far more skill
Than you can do it-never mind-go
at it with will;
They cut but little figure who remain
in doubt immersed,
The world gives all the credit to the
man who butts in first.
Old Calico probably was not whit
more wise
Than many another of his day that
gazed up at the skies;
Columbus may not have been blessed
with special gifts that sent
Him where no other might have gone
to find continent
But they who might have won the
fame remained in doubt i'm
mersed.
The world gives him the credit who
sets forth to butt in first.
Old Howe's machine was but poor
contrivance at the start,
McCormick's work has been improved
in every joint and part;
The boat that Fulton ran would be a
funny thing today;
What Morse did we have bettered, but
his fame is on to stay
They did not wait for others who
who stood back in doubt i'm
mersed.
The world gives all the credit to the
man who butts in first.

UnspOken Words,

Unspoken Words.
The kindly words that rise within the
heart,
And thrill it with their sympathetic
tone,
But die ere spoken, fail to play their
part
And claim merit that is not their
own.
The kindly word unspoken is a sin
And tells the heart that doubling.
looks within,
That not in speech, but thought, the
virtue lies.
But tits not so; another heart NAV
thirst
For that kind word, as Hagar in the
wild
Poor banished Hagar!-prayed well
: might burst
From out the sand to save her
parching child,
And loving eyes that cannot see the
mind
Will watch the expected movement
of the lip,
All! can We let it's cutting silence wind
Around the heart and seattle it like
a whip?
Then hide it not, the music of the soul
Dear sympathy, expressed will
kindly voice;
But let it, like Il shining river, roll
10 deserts dry-to hearts that
would rejoice.
Oh! let the symphony of kindly words
Sound for the poor, the friendless
and the weak;
And He will bless you-He who
struck these chords
Will strike another when in turn
you seek.

Romance In Cold Storage.
She wrote her name upon an egg:
A simple country girl was she.
60, little egg, go FORTH she said,
"And bring sweetheart back to
me-"
Into the wide, wide world it went.
Upon its shell the message plain.
The maiden waited, waited on,
With throbbing heart-but hope was
vain.
The days, the weeks, the months flew
past,
A year, another year rolled by,
Alas! no lover ventured near
To dry the teardrops in her eye.
Sad at her easement in the night
She wondered where the egg could
be.
20 voiccless moon, dost thou behold,
Somewhere, my true affinity?"
Somewhere, indeed, there was a man
Whom fate had made for her to
own;
Somewhere, and waiting for the egg,
He led his loveless life alone.
y
The years sped on, till gray and bent,
She looked adown the road one day,
And. trembling, saw an aged man
Approaching slowly on the way.
His locks were white, his shoulders
bowed,
He feebly leaned upon a cane.
She looled-and in her faded cheeks
The blush of roses glowed again.
Twas he, her lover, come at last!

Cheated of youthful life and love,
Kept parted till the journeys end,

Together now they sadly spend.

Are done in thy disgraceful name?

And hide thy hydra head in shame,
