POLICE ON WATCH
For Sohrdiofska, Who Left Boston,
Thursday, for the West.

Boston, July 14.-It now appears that
John Schidlofska. the missing husband
of the murdered woman. left this city
on the 1890 train. yesterday, over the
Boston & Maine Railroad for the West.
The police have been informed by the
railroad officials that the coupon upo',
which travel may be had as far as
Rotterdam Junction, N. Y. has been
returned, which they consider Is evil
dence that SchiGlofska has gone at
least as far as Rotterdam Junction.
Whether he procee ded further on his
Journey to Los Angeles. to which point
he had purchased two tickets and lat
er returned one and had the money
refunded, Ia not yet known here ami
the local authorities are of the opinion
that he went as far as Chicago. 1t Is
thought that the Chicago police may
not have received notification In time
to meet the train at that city.
In the course of their investigation.
today, the state police secured num-
Der of letters said to have been written
in Polish by a woman In Los Angeles
TO Schidlofska. These letters are said
to have disclosed an intimate acquain-
lance between the two, and the police
are inclined TO view the circumstances
as an additional incentive to Schidlof-
ska's desire to 60 to Los Angeles alore.
At the local headquarters Of the
BARRIERS Union it was learned that
a man answering the description OF
Schidlofska, but known by the
name of Jhon Cline. was in this
city, Wednesday and Thursday. Cline
had been working in the barber shop
of Charles Greelish in Braintree, but
stopped work several days ago and an
nounced his intention of going West.
He has not been seen at the BARRIERS
headquarters since Wednesday after
noon.
When at the Union headquarters,
yesterday. Schidlofska made arrange
ments for his transfer to the Los An
geles BARRIERS Union.
He left between $50 and 10 o'clock.
three hours before the body was found
At the time Schidlofska appeared to be
in a happy frame of mind.
After devoting the forenoon to a
careful investigation the state police
came to the conclusion that Schidlof-
ska was actually on his way to Califor-
mia. The fact of his having secured the
transfer of his union card. yesterday,
and that he already had tickets for the
journey as well as the absence OF all
trace of him since yesterday afternoon.
have strengthened the belief that he
left the city late in the day and is now
outside of the state. Acting on this be-
lief messages have been sent to various
places along the railway line with de-
sciiption of the man.

Says His Wife Drank Some.

Braintree, Mass, July LIT is
learned from patrons of the barber

to a few weeks ago apparently, was

RUSSIA LOSING PRESTIGE
Turkey Preparing to Stiffen in Mace
donian Reform Attitude

by Associated Press.
LONDON, Jan. 11.-DiScussing the
effect of the fall of Port Arthur IN
the near eastern situation, the Con-
stantinople correspondent of the
Times says that belief in Russia's S
invincibility has received q severe
shock, the result of which among the
Balkan states Is rather exaggerated
by fears of Russian encroachments in
Macedonia. These nervous apprehen-
sions tend to increase Servian efforts
at a raprochement with Bulgaria.
The effects produced in Constanti-
nople, the correspondent says, are like
ly to be more serious. Turkey is quick
to appreciate the significance of events
in the far east and is likely to stiffen
in her attitude toward the reforming
powers in Macedonia. Already there
are indications that Turkey is prepar-
ing severe repressive measures to fore
stall the apprehended rising in the
spring, but. there is reason to fear that
these measures may hasten rather than
avert the outbreak.

COMMERCE COMMISSION
Decides to Accept the Presidents Of

Term for Which He Was
Elected to Senate
Bv Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, ~ Jan. 1O.-Senator
Cookrell of Missouri has decided to
accept the position on the interstate
commerce commission offered him some
time ago by President Roosevelt He
will succeed Commissioners Youmans
of Iowa. Senator Cocl1rell expects to
complete the term for which he was
elected to the senate, which expires on
March 4 next, before assuming his new
duties.
Understanding that Senator Cockrell
desired to complete his present term
in the senate, the president entertained
the idea that Commissioner Youmans
would continue as a member of the
commission until his successor would
qualify, but lawyers in congress are
inclined to the opinion that uatnr the
bers are for a definite period and that
they do not hold office until their sue
cessors assume their duties.
The legal question has been referred,
it is understood, to Attorney General
Moody, by whose opinion the president
will be guided. If it should be de-
cided that Commissioner Youmans is
now out of office, it is the presidents
Intention to reappoint him for a term
which will expire about the 4th of
March.
