MURDER MYSTERY
AGAIN IN GOTHAM
On Heels of Thompson Case
Comes Similar Tragedy in
a. Hotel.

New York, Sept. l1.-What may de;
murder like that Of Jacob H. Thompson,
a well known editor, was discovered
yesterday in an obscure hosiery at
Sixth avenue and Fifty-sixth street.
Thru the odor of escaping gas
maid in the hotel was drawn
to room occupied for the
night previous by Alfred Krattin-
ger, public accountant who lived with
his wife, father and brothers in West
Fifty-second street. The room was
broken open and Krattinger found
dead in the bed.
At first it appeared to be a common
place suicide, such as coroners handle
dozen times a week. Then it was
observed that the transom Of the room
was half open, while the room showed
none of the unusual preparations for
suicide by gas.
When the coronersexamined the body
closely he noticed that the face was not
discolored, as frequently happens in as
phyxiation cases. Then he saw large
bruise just over the right ear, near the
temple.
Krattinger brothers told the cor
oner a diamond pin worth 81 100 and a
considerable amount Of cash should be
| on the body, but the only thing found
was cheap knife.
It was subsequently ascertained that
the hotel register had been tampered
with and the time of Krattinger IS ar
rival changed. The hotel employees
protested ignorance as to the change.

Demands.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Members of the
executive board of the Freight, Hand
lers union prepared today to call on
the general managers Of the railroads
centering in Chicago to inform them
of the action of the mass meeting re-
garding an answer within forty-eight
hours to the demand of the employees
for 10 per cent wage increase.
A meeting of the General Managers
association is scheduled for next week,
but an emergency. call may be issued
for an earlier session. The association
embraces twenty-four roads, employing
upwards of 5000 freight handlers. OF
this number the union leaders claim to
have about $500 enrolled as members.
Railroad officials say the union men
overestimate their strength and explain
that the enrolment of the organization
includes considerable proportion of
wholesale grocery employees, tea and
coffee roasters and the like, not con
nected with the business of receiving
and shipping freight by rail.

Russia's Bars to American Goods Let

New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
e Oyster Bay, Sept. 1l.-Aswa mark of
appreciation of the efforts made by
President Roosevelt in bringing about
q peace treaty between Russia and ia
pan, the car has ordered a discontinue
ance of discriminating duties on Amer
lean products in Russia. The emper-
or's order means millions Of dollars
to American manufacturers and will
prove an immense stimulus to the ex-
pansion of American commerce thru
out the czar's dominions.
The czar's action was made known
to the president by Mr.. Witte in the
following communication, which was
delivered upon the visit of the Russian
peace ENJOYS to Sycamore Hill:
Some years ago, in consequence of a
misunderstanding in the Interpretation OF
the most favored nation clause, there were
established in Russia on several articles
of American production custom duties on
a higher scale than those levied. on the
same articles when imported from other
countries.
His majesty, the emperor of Russia, has
commanded me to inform the president OF
the United States that he has been pleased
to order the discontinuance Of the levy1ne
of such higher duties on American prod
ucts in order that henceforth the Amerl
can manufacturers should pay the same
duties as importers from other countries
This imperial concession will be O.
immediate and enormous advantage t.
American exporters, particularly to tn
manufacturers of machinery. agains
whom the retaliatory duties in Russi
have been so high that English an
German manufacturers have for sew
eral years enjoyed practically monoE
oily in the field. -,
The cars explanation that the dis
elimination against American good
was in consequence of a misinterprets
ton of the most-favored nation clause
comes as surprise here, but the az
ton Of the car is taken as one c
the greatest compliments ever paid
president of the United States.
