POLICE BUSY.
Trying to Unravel Mystery
of Dress Suit Case Mur.
der at Boston.

Boston, Sept. 22-The police of Win
throp, Boston and the state are giving
their combined efforts in an attempt
to unraVel the mystery which sur
rounds the crime discovered yesterday
by the finding of the dismembered
trunk of a woman in a dress suit
case floating in the water off the
Winthrop Yacht clubs pier Officers
were at work on the case for several
hours during the night but learned
nothing that might lead to a clue.
Medical Examiner Francis A. Har-
ris planned to perform an autopsy on
the trunk to-day and will Immediately
report his finding to the district at
torhey. His preliminary examination
strengthened the theory that the wo-
man had been the victim of an un-
successful surgical operation and that
the dismembering of the body had
been the work of skilled hands.
The Boston police are searching
the city in the hope of locating the
missing woman, as they are Of the
opinion that the crime was committed
here. The police of Winthrop state
that the victim probably was not a
resident of that town as they know
of no one missing.
1t was learned that early in the
morning four officers went to the of
flee of a physician on Howard street
in the west end, where nearly half an
hour was spent in search of the
premises. The person whom the po-
lice desired TO interview was, it is
understood, absent from the house.
During the morning the body was
removed to an undertaking establish
ment in the city, where Medical En-
aminer. Harris performed the autopsy.
To-day it was said a woman told
the police that she recognized the
dress suit case. Another report was
sent broadcast that last Saturday
woman was seen to throw bundle
from the Winthrop bridge into the
river. The police are following up
this last story. The coroner made an
autopsy to-day. but will not make any
disclosures until he has presented his
report to the authorities.

TALK ON INJUNCTION.
This Judge Gives His Opinion Of Cer-
tain Individuals.

New York, Sept. 22-Argument was
heard at Newark yesterday before
Vice Chancellor Pitney on a motion
for an injunction to restrain the Utah
Copper company from carrying out an
agreement with the Guggenheim Ex-
ploration company by which the lat
ter concern would become the owner
of 81 per cent. of the stock of the for
mer Enos A. Wall of Salt Lake City,
vice president and director of the cop
per company, is complainant. He owns
20 per cent of the stock of the COM
pany.
To carry out the plan which Wall
Is opposing the copper company de-
sires to increase it's capitalization to
$6,OOO,OOO and issue $3,O0O,0060 of 6
per cent ten year bonds. The bonds
and the $1,500,000 new stock are to
be turned over under the plan. to the
Guggenheim concern.
At one stage of the proceedings the
vice chancellor exclaimed: "My idea
Is that a man is nothing more than
a born fool to take any stock in
company unless he goes in with men
In whom he can have confidence and
who will not manage the affairs or
the corporation regardless of the
rights of the small stockholders. L
like to see a company managed on its
merits with a due regard to the small
as we'll as the large stockholders"
Mr. Wall has obtained several tenn
porary injunctions restraining the
copper company from carrying out
its plan and one of these will prevent
a meeting set for tomorrow to put
the new plan into execution. The
vice chancellor reserved decision for
n week.

LUNNY'S NEXT MOVE.
Had Warrant Issued for nan Who
Used His Hack.

Thomas K. Lunny went on the war
path for fair to-day after Superln-
tendent of Police Egan and Sergeant
Blakely when he had warrant is
sued for the arrest of the man who
engaged his hack a few nights ago
and then refused to pay his fare. Mr.
Lunny said this afternoon that this is
merely the first step in his endeayors
to ascertain If Superintendent Egan,
Sergeant Blakely and officer Hickey
did their duty in refusing to arrest
this man upon immediate informa-
tiOn.
II will take this matter to the end
this time" said Mr. Lunny. 1T won't
end up like the last time / was be-
fore the board ON matter of this
kind. How did that end up? Well.
Chief Egan, as he was then. took shell
ter behind the mantle Of the board
and refused to answer my questions.
The board told him he need not an
swer. Well l took the matter to the
superior court right away, my lawyer
applying for writ of mandamus to
make Chief Egan answer my ques-
tions. Some how the board got wind
of what / was doing and meeting
instantly called and the police were
directed to arrest persons who refused
to pay their fare to hack drivers. Up
20 that time person could give you
the ha ha even if he had your hack
the whole day. OF course what the
board ordered was exactly what we
hack owners were after and | with
drew proceedings In the superior
court That settled the question for
that time. Since then various ar
rests have been made for refusing to
pay fare and why the police did not
arrest this man the other evening is
something | don't know and can't nn-
derstand. But | propose to find ont
and if 1t turns out that these officers
did not do their duty We'll see some-
thing happen. That all's to IT,"
1t is said that the party who used
the hack did tender Mr. Lunny's dri-
yer 81 in payment for the time they
had it but the driver and Mr. Lunny
contend otherwise. 1t is also said that
the reason the board of safety did not
take up the matter at their meeting
Wednesday afternoon was because OF
legal obstacles created by the resig-
nation of Commissioner Beach from
the board Of aldermen.

PARISIANS AROUESD.
Do Not Like Attitude of Venezuelans
Towards n. Tagny.

Paris, Sept. 22-The offensive atti.
tude of Venezuela toward NJ. Taigny,
the French charge d'affaires at Car
acas, has aroused Indignation In
official quarters here. Although the
ministry has not yet taken definite
action II is said In the highest quar-
ters that Premier Rouvier undoubt-
edly will demand that Venezuela dis
avow the offensive action and adopt a
course conformable with the usual
courtesles of diplomatic intercourse.
The Venezuelan authorities are now
seeking to show that their action was
directed against NJ. Taigny personal
ly and not against the French govern
ment but the officials here do not ac-
cept the distinction between NJ. Taig-
ny's personal and official capacity. He
has high standing at the foreign Office
where he recently served and also
aided Ambassador Cambon at Wash
ington during the most delicate phases
of the Spanish war negotiations.
Therefore there is no intention here TO
permit Venezuela 20 make scape-
goat Of him.
The official directly charged with
handling Venezuelan questions ex-
plained the general status Of the con
tr0versy as follows:
Venezuela supports the closing OF
the French cable company's inland
stations on the ground OF the decis-
ion of the Venezuelan courts. France
does not question the general right OF
the courts but maintains that the de-
ciSion Of the courts contained nothing
authorizing the executive branch TO
seize and shut up the cable stations.
Moreover only n day before shutting
up the inland stations Venezuela gave
assurances that General Nelutini. the
Venezuelan minister at Paris would
take steps to satisfactorily adjust the
question. Therefore M. Taigny pro
tested on the ground that the courts
decision dld not Justify closing sta
tinns. This protest was not NJ. Taig-
ny's personally but followed specific
INSTITUTIONS from the foreign office.
Therefore it Is impossible 10 raise a
personal issue. A separate verbal
protest was made against the expul-
sinn Of Manager Brun. Of the French
csble company on the ground that the
right to expel foreigners docs not
apply to NJ. Brun. who was perman-
entity d0miciled in Caracas. IL Is TO
Re expected that a demand viii be
made that Venezuela disaFow the
action taken. The subsequent course
of France viii depend upon Nenezue-
las reply.

that Yenezueia has placed orders ~

THE FEES OF INSURANCE
AGENTS REHEARSED.
Vice President Buckner Gave Interesting Testimony Be-
fore the Insurance Investigating Committee To-Day
Solicitors Must Go Through Various Degrees Be-
fore They Are Considered Good business Agents.

New York. Sept 22-Upon the as
sembling to-day of the special legisla-
tive committee which is investigating
the life insurance business, Thomas
A. Buckner, vice president Of the New
York Life Insurance Co. who has
charge of that company's agencies,
and who was unable to answer
number of questions yesterday with
out looking up records, was called to
the stand. The matter Of the "Nylic~
accounts was taken up. They includ-
ed records of system Of bonuses paid
to agents. Nylic, he said, was body
Of men drawn from the ranks of
agents who create business for his
company. 1t is divided into five class
es: Freshmen, first, second and third
degree and senior Nylics, The fresh
men have a written contract with the
company, and must produce business
paying not less than $1,000 annually
in premiums and give their entire
time for five years. They are paid no
salary, but qualify for higher degree.
If there was default of qualifications
they were dropped and had to re-
commence at the beginning. They re
ceived fifty cents thousand per
month for all business written by
them The first degree Nylic must
produce business paying not less than
$25,000 in premiums year TO become
second degree Nylic.
The second degree Nylic received 81
a month per thousand. II an agent
secures premiums of $4,000 year
he becomes a third degree Nylic. This
degree lasts five years. Its members
receive S15O per month per thousand
and must also maintain the $2o,ooo
total of premiums. AT the expiration
of five years he becomes a senior and
receives 70 cents per month per thou
sand on new business over the average
of insurance written during the pre-
vious twenty years. He need not give
his entire time, but must not Write
for any other company.
When this system was devised u
became retroactive and all the agents
went into these grades according te
their terms of service and amount OF
business written. None Of these had
served sufficient time to become senior
Nylics. and at present the company
has but three seniors.
Mr. Buekner said that what moneys
agents got from "Nylic" was in addt'
ton to the regular agents commits
sions. Witness stated that the cost of
"Nylic" to-day is one per cent of the
renewal premiums. Mr. Buckner said
this system was Invaluable In holding
their agents in a solidarity.
Henry Dempsey, cashier OF the Cit
izens' Central National bank, gave
testimony in regard TO Hamilton's
bank account. Vice President Buck
ner was again called to the stand to
corroborate some of his former testi-
mony.

BOMB THROWN AT
BANKING HOUSE TO-DAY.
The Missile Went the Wrong Way and Landed in a
Courtyard-The Thrower Was Seriously Injured
Bankers Refused to Contribute to the Funds of Revo
lutiensts Given as Cause for Act

Warsaw, Sept 22.-An attempt was
made at noon to-day to destroy the
Shereshevsky bank. A man threw a
bomb at an open window of the bank,
but missed his aim and the missile
exploded in the courtyard, dangerously
injuring the perpetrator of the crime,
a young Jew.
1t appears that the outrage was due
to the fact that the bank officials had
refused to contribute to the funds of
the revolutionists.

BISHOP STANG.
Rumor that He Will Succeed the Late
Archbishop Chappelle.

New York, Sept 22-The World
this morning says that Bishop Stang
of Fall River, Mass, will probably be
the successor Of the late Archbishop
Chapelle, at New Orleans, La. 1t adds:
"Dr Stang is regarded as the most
available candidate for the vacant see.
He speaks fuently English, German
and French, and for this reason would
be well qualified to fill the vacancy
because of the cosmopolitan popula-
tion of the archdiocese of New Or
leans. He has been most favorably
recommended by influential Catholic
ecclesiastics.'
Bishop Stang was for many years
rector of the cathedral at Providence.
r. l.. and later became vice rector of
the American college in LouvaiD.
From there he was promoted to the
see of Fall River.
