PRESIDENTS WORK.
Returns From Summer Home
 to White House Today.
MANY VEXED QUESTIONS HANG FIRE
Will Take Up Venezuelan Situation, Agricultural Scandal, Freight Rates Tangle and New Life
 Insurance Laws.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-The presi
 dent has returned to Washington and
 entered upon a very busy season of
 work. Many important matters have to be taken up. There is enough on the programme, it is said, to satisfy even his temperament.
 One of the first subjects which will receive his attention is the situation which has resulted from the scandal in the department of agriculture. For several weeks there seems to have been inactivity in the sweeping in- vestigation which Secretary Wilson is supposed to have been conducting. It is expected that new life will be in- fused into the inquiry and that ma terial results will ensue.
 The weather bureau has been under fire for several months, and there is no doubt the president will have his at tention drawn to the situation in that office
 W. J. Calhoun, the special commis- sioner whom the president sent to Venezuela to investigate conditions there. will sail on Monday next for the United States. He should reach Washington in about a week, and the report he submits to the president may lead to interesting developments in the Venezuelan situation. It is presumed the French government will make strong representations to President Roosevelt on account of the action of President Castro in closing the French Cable company's offices.
 The last week or two the president has been spending much time in out lining the message he will transmit to congress next winter.
 In his last message he recommended that congress confer upon the inter- state commerce commission the power to set rates. and many persons are wondering whether he will renew the recommendation in view of the fact that many prominent Republicans have come out against it, while leading Dem ocrats, including W. J. Bryan, have advised him to stand pat.
 The president will have to consider what he will say on the question of corporate contributions to political committees and the problem of federal or control of life insurance He will confer with spe- cialists in these lines.

SUIT CASE MYSTERY.
Victim May Be Nonie Dixon, a New
 York Girl.

Victim May Be Nonfe Dixon, c New
 York Girl.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-The dismem- bered body of the girl found In suit case floating in Boston harbor is now thought to be that of Nonie Dixon, the pretty nineteen-yearold daughter of Mrs. Frank Dixon of Brooklyn.
 Her dishppearance and the events leading up to It, which reveal almost a year of domestic trouble. were all told by Mrs. Dixon, and she is now awaiting more news from Boston that will enable her to say whether the body is that of her daughter or not
 Nonie Dixon, her mother says, either eloped or was carried away by her stepfather, Frank Dixon, and Mrs. Dixon was left penniless. The man has been attentive to his stepdaughter in spite of his wife's protests for al. most a year, and his infatuation, ac- cording to the elder woman, reached the point where he threatened to kill the girl if she made the acquaintance OI any OlueT udu. 1ue mOlQeI HIS an intuition which she says she cannot explain that the murdered girl Is her daughter.
 Nonie had no marks on her body save a small birthmark on her left hip. The headless torso in Boston was without mark, and the mother is now in frenzy of anxiety to find If the body has not been mutilated too much to disclose that one mark by which she could be identified.
 Miss Nathan, daughter of Mrs. Louis Nathan of Baltimore, came here last night and requested the police to show her the torso of the murdered woman.
 The coming of Miss Nathan has a possible bearing on the Winthrop mys- tery. although the police do not at tach great importance to it. Miss Ma than is a sister of Mrs. Maurice Scha- piro, who has been missing for nearly three weeks.

 Reaching in his pockets, he produced several pairs of spectacles. and pro ,ceeded to explain his system of graft.
 The colored boy drove the old horse, while he made house to house calls; always among the middle and lower classes of people.
 He would rap at the rear door, and there the lady of the house would find him with both hands full of those very choice potatoes. He would offer to sell her a peck or half bushel at one-half or two-tkirds the regular market price.
 As this class of women are invaria- bly, looking for bargains, he had no trouble in persuading them to make purchases. This much accomplished, he had gained at least one point, and often two. In the first place he had broken the ice, and in many instances he had an opportunity to size up the woman's financial standing. Should he have occasion to change five or even a two-dollar bill, the prospects were good.
 The potato deal closed, he would bring forth pair of glittering riding bow spectacles from his pocket and say:
 See what found over on the boule- yard few minutes ago. Aren't they beauties?"
 My My!" sthe woman would ex- claim, and would immediately try them on. As they were but ordinary window glass, she would look around

 HOUSTON, Tex, Sept. 30.--The bod ies of Mrs. A, J. Conditt, her thirteen year-old daughter and three sons, aged six. eight and ten respectively, who were murdered near Edna, Tex, by a negro, were inferred in single grave.
 The discovery of bloody adze, with which the crime was committed, and a bundle of discarded clothing found by bloodhounds a short distance from the scene of the tragedy are the only clews left by the murderer.
 However, as result of suspicion against Hank Gibson, a seventeen year-old negro boy, who was working in a nearby field and who gave the first alarm, his home was searched. and tablecloth with a bundle of bloody clothing was found concealed between the covers of a bed. If Mir. Conditt, the husband, is able to iden- tify the articles the negro will proba- ply be lynched.
