AUSTRIANS TO VOTE.
The Emperor Decides to Grant Uni

authority that Emperor Francis Joseph
has decided to grant universal suffrage
to Austria and has instructed the
premier, Baron Gautch Won Franken-
thurn, to draft measure on a compre-
hensive basis. The decision is attribu-
ted to the emperor's desire to satisfy

ABOUT ALL IS KNOWN.
Little Left OF the Mystery Surround
ing Suit Case Murder.

Boston, Nov. 3.-With the arrest
of William Howard and Louis Craw-
ford in New York city. in connection
with the suit case mystery, the activi-
ties of the local police were trans
ferred from Boston to the metropolis.
Chief William Watts of the bureau of
criminal investigation and Superin-
tendent of Police Pierce, with Pawn
Broker Berkman. who sold the suit
case in which the dismembered parts
Of the victims body were found in
Boston harbor, Timothy Howard, the
cabman who drove two men carrying
suit cases to the ferry and other wit
nesses, all went to New York on the
midnight train to be present today at
the examination of Howard and Craw-
ford. The condition Of Morris Nathan
sutton of Susanna Geary, the victim Of
the tragedy, was better today than
yesterday and he seems to be gaining.
on the strength of the alleged
statement by Howard, one of the sus-
pectss that the head of the suit case
victim had been thrown from a ferry
boat into Boston harbor, in a weighted
handbag, the police today began
dragging the bottom of the harbor.
Crawford Is Recognized.
New York, Nov. Superintendent
Pierce, Of the Boston police, and Chief
Watts of the Massachusetts state
police arrived today, accompanied by
tne witnesses IN the suit case mystery
who left Boston at midnight with the
police officials for this city.
When the Boston party arrived at
police headquarters today the prison
ers were brought out for inspection.
Chief Watts recognized Crawford and
said:
Il feel sure Crawford is the head
man in this case. He was the prin-
cipal at the house of DR.. Bishop and
it was through him, I believe that
Howard or Hunt as he calls himself
was brought into the case"
Chief Watts said that the case
against those who caused the death of
Miss Geary was practically closed
now, but there probably would be
other arrests within a few days.
