MURDER MYSTERY
COMES TO LIGHT
BADLY DEcoMPosEo BODY OF
WOMAN FOUND.
Supposed to Nave Been Killed Last
December by a Man Now
Dead.

Philadelphia, July "a murder mys-
terry came to night today when Mrs.
Agathe Blum of 1903 Wilmot street,
Frankford, with the aid of police,
searched the cellar of her home to dis
cover the cause of stencil that made
life in the house unbearable. They
found a place where the ground was
loosened, and after digging for a short
while the badly decomposed body Of a
woman appeared. The skull was frac-
tured and every sign showed that a
murder was committed.
Mrs. Blum year ago separated from
her husband, Charles, because of his
ugly temper. He died on May Is Of
consumption at the Frankford hospi-
tai, and his widow regained possession
of the Wilmot street house and moved
in 1t on Wednesday. Neighbors re-
called that Polish girl, aged 26, was
employed as housekeeper by Blum in
the latter part of last year. She did
not speak English, and was seen the
last time on December 81. Inquiries
about her whereabouts brought the an
swer that Anna went away again"
The police are convinced that the girl
was murdered by Blum in fit of rage
and the body buried in the cellar.

CUBA FACES FIRST
GREAT LABOR WAR
GENERAL STRIKE EXPECTED ALL
OVER THE ISLAND.
Organized Labor Demands an Eight.
hour Day Which the Employers
Refuse to Grant.

Havana, July Cuba faces her first
great labor war, for during the coming
week 1t is expected that the entire
force of organized labor throughout th'
island will inaugurate a general strike
to secure an eight-hour work day in all
et of trades. There are other griev-
81 ces against the employers on the
I'm on mems side, but they are all over
shadowed by the agitation for the
eight-hour day.
The central LABOR organization, DOM
mated by the Cigarmakers, is making
preparations for the strike. In some
quarters it is declared the strike will
be ordered for Tuesday.
The Cigarmakers Union is the pion-
eer interest in the Cuban labor field.
Under the guidance of the American
Federation of Labor, its members the
first body of workers to be organized
after several minor strikes, which as
whole were successful, built up
around it unions in whose ranks were
numbered all of its allied interests.
These unions are all represented in the
central body, and actually control it.
The agitation ror the eight-hour day
throughout Cuba has been going on for
some time, Organizer Falles of the
American Federation of Labor, who
comes from Key West and is an ex-
pert in the matters affecting the cigar
industry, has been preparing for some
time the unions for general strike,
should the employers, as is anticipated,
refuse their demands.
There is practically no sympathy be-
tween the employers and the unions on
the eight-hour day proposition, and 1t
is claimed that the demand of the
unions will be refused, and the general
strike will follow.

TOM LAWSON SCORED
BY REV. DR.. CRAFTS
Called the Boston Man Spectacular
Reformer With Personal
End to Serve.

Ottawa, Kan, July 9.-The Kansas
rains and the demands of a Kansas
audience have done for Thomas w.
Lawson what all the power of the "sys-
TEN" has failed to do-make him be
still. Mr.. Lawson so completely lost
his voice as a result of yesterdays pro.
digious effort that he could scarcely
even whisper today. His throat gave
him a great deal of pain, and Mr.. Law
son and his assistants became alarmed
lest a permanent injury has been sus-
tanned The plans to spend quiet Sun
day in Ottawa were Immediately
dropped, and Mr.. Lawson left to con-
suit throat specialist at once in Kan
sas City, and expressed regret at not
being able to carry out his plans for to-
day. At the assembly this afternoon a
great crowd gathered, expecting to see
Mr.. Lawson at religious service. In
stead, the crowd heard Lawson roundly
excoriated by the Rev. DR.. Crafts Of
Washington. Lawson was rated as a
spectacular reformer," with a per-
sonal end to serve; man who had
turned states evidence" and who was
now building the foundation for 'po-
litical boom" by which he would be
able to advance his own politicians +"

BEST PEOPLE ON EARTH
Tens of Thousands Gathering For
EIks' Convention.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 9.-The Elks'
national convention began to take form
tonight. Tens of thousands lined Main
street and the adjoining thoroughfares
watching the incoming delegates and
their friends, and getting first view
of the myriads OF. electric lights which
flash a gorgeous welcome to the incom-
ing antlered herds.
Bands are marching the streets with
gay flags and banners, and Denver
Col, and Dallas, Texas, already have
rival professions campaigning for the
next Elks' convention.
Apparently the most interesting con-
test of the great gathering will be over
the question of where the Elks will go
next year. 'Tnrty-flve members of the
advance guard OF the Dallas members
of the order, every man an enthusiast,
arrived at their headquarters at the
Iroquois Hotel today.
An immense Lone Star" five feet in
height, pointed the way at the foot of
the stairs to the room where the Dali
las Elks were assembled two floors
above. Around the five points glowed
white incandescent lamps, and in each
of the five corners stood letter of the
states name. In the center, illumin-
ated by purple lights, are the words,

COTTON SCANDAL
WILL NOT DOWN
ALL CONCERNED SHOULD BE
PROSECUTED.
President Roosevelt viii Be Urged to
Have the Matter More Thor
uoghly Investigated.

Washington, July 9.-Richard Cheat
ham, secretary of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, has gone to At.
laDta for consultation with other Of
ficials of that organization regarding
an appeal to President Roosevelt for a
further investigation into the furnish
ing of advance information to cotton
speculators. Mr.. Cheatham is not at all
satisfied with the investigation made by
Secretary Wilson and the reforms pro-
posed to prevent future leaks" He
believes the secretary has too much
confidence in his subordinates. He
thinks the inquiry was too LASTLY
made. He thinks that Chief Statisti-
clan John Hyde should have been re-
all concerned. He says many fortunes
have been wrecked by advance infor-
nation, and Secretary Wilson is too
anxious to hurriedly close the affair
and pronounce it at an end.
1t is believed here that President
Roosevelt will not be satisfied with the
course pursued and will order furth-
er investigation. He will probably in
sist on the prosecution of Holmes and
all those interested. Unless prosecu-
tion is ordered by the President, there
will be none.
Department of justice officials say
the matter was presented in partial
form to the district attorney with only
a portion of evidence, and the papers
taken from him in an hour. If he had
been given more time to study the
case, they believe he would have decid-
ed IA prosecution could have been sue
cessfully made.
Law officers here say the charge of
larceny or embezzlement would not lie
against Holmes, but that he can be
brought to punishment on charges of
bribery or conspiracy. Department of
justice officials say Holmes, Van Ripper
Peckham and Haas can be tried for
conspiracy to make false report, or
that Holmes can be prosecuted for ac-
cepting bribes from Van Riper to
change government reports.
