Witt~6ails Found Which
is Believed to Have
Cost the Lite Of Little
Youngstown Girl.

Youngstown o., July 4.-CoroneI
Kline, fearing that Elsie Anderson
might have been poisoned, had an ex-
animation of one of the kidneys made
by the city chemist. No trace of poi
son could be found, but another analy-
sis will be made.
One of the instruments of torture
which were used to beat the life out
of poor little Elsie Anderson has been
found by the police. 1t is a stout
stick, about two feet long and about
an inch square.
There are nails on either end. The
nails are long and sharply pointed.
The stick and the nails ere bespat-
tered with the life blood of the inno-
cent little body.
Evidently the stout stick with the
sharp nails was used many times in
beating the child, for the marks on
her body, from head to foot, show the
awful effects of the poundings she re-
ceived with this club.
The bloody club with the nails will
be produced as evidence at the trial
of the stepmother, Jennie Anderson.
INSISTS SHE USED LATH.
The bloody stick was discovered by
Miss Mary Green, who has been spend
ing the last couple of nights with the
Anderson children. 1t was carefully
concealed beside a partition in the at
tis bedroom with an evident view of
having it handy when the woman en-
tered the place where Elsie was tied.
The stick was showed to the step
mother, who denied ever having had
it in her possession.
She maintained she used lath to
beat the child and afterward burned
the same
Her attorney, H. G. Bye, said today
that Mrs. Anderson was a disciplin-
arian, and he questioned people last
night, asking whether or not they be-
lisver her to be crazy.

Committee Fears Publicity.
London. July 1S.--The general con-
gress of socialist interparliamentary
committees opened here yesterday un-
der the presidency of James Keir
Hardie, the socialist member Of parlia-
ment and chairman of the independent
labor party. The first action of the
congress was to expel the newspaper
men present, the foreign delegates
fearing that detailed reports of the
proceedings would bring them unpleas-
antly to the notice of their govern
ments. The attendance was not large.
The European contingent was repre-
sented by about twenty-five delegates,
including member of the Russsn
parliament. The general purpose seems
to be to attempt to unity the action
of the socialists in the various parlia-
ments. Neither Herr Bebel, the Ger
man socialist leader, nor M. Jaurez, the
leader of tho French socialists, was
present. Several women delegates
were in attendance.
A resolution was adopted changing
the title of the organization to Social
ist and labor interparliamentary COM
mittees."
Tomorrow questions in relation to
the condition of Russia will be the
principal topics. M. Aitkin, leader of
the group of toll in the lower house 0f
the Russian parliament, will lead the
debate.
