ANOTHER WOMAN FOUND =.
MURDERED I'm GOTHAM

New York. Sept. I9.--In the dis
covery of the body of woman hud-
died underneath the rear step Of the
big tenement at 24o West Thirty-sec-
ond Street the police believe they had
evidence of another murder. The VIC
tim, whose. name was unknown, was
about 80 years old, and evidently in
poor circumstances. The clothing was
disarranged, her face bruised and
there were marks of violence about
the throat which aroused the suspi-
cions Of the police. When the body
was lifted the head moved as easily as
to indicate that the woman's neck had
been broken. The front OF her waist
was stained with blood.
The section of the city where the
body was found is known as 9Hells
Kitchen and is the stamping ground
Of some tough characters Its condi-
ton is now worse than usual. The
Pennsylvania Railway Co, has tenn
porary trestle running through one
side Of the street and in the darkness
underneath gangs congregate.

REPUBLICAN LEADERS +.
DISTURBED BY DISCLOSURES

Washington, Sept. Io.-Republicar
politicians are somewhat disturbed by
the New York insurance disclosures,
particularly that portion of them which
called forth Judge Parker's statement
in the newspapers.
The disturbance points in the direc-
tion Of the treasury portfolio i'll the
presidents cabinet. 1t is understood
to be the presidents intention to give
this place to Mr.. Cortelyou, now post
master general, and likewise chairman
of the republican national committee.
Last fall the charge was made by the
democratic campaign committee that
eastern corporations were helping to
finance the republican presidential cam
paign President Rooseyelt's caustic
reply to Judge Parker, who was indis.
Greet enough to voice this charge pub
lcly without having proof that it was
we'll founded. furnished one of the most
sensational features of the closing days
Of the campaign.
Now it comes out that the republican
committee treasury was swelled by the
big life insurance companies and that
Judge Parker was not far from the
truth in what he said in his New York
address.
If the president should persist in his
purpose to give the treasury portfolio
to Cortelyou, much adverse criticism
would be started, and it might affect
the campaign next year.
The president is self-willed in mat
e L. l.. IL.
gard for Cortelyou may induce him to
appoint him.
Several democratic members Of con-
gress are in Washington and they are
very outspoken about the insurance
company disclosures Two OF these
men have large policies in the New
York Life and the things they have
said about the campany's republican
campaign contribution are hot enough
to burn the telegraph wires.
