NOT SHOT IN THE
BED WHERE FOUND
Evidence That the Body of Edwards
Was Dragged to the Guest
Chamber.
BLOOD CLoT ON STOCKING
RESULT OF THE AUTOPSY NOT
olVEE OUT.

( New Haven, Conn, Jan. 6.-The an
nouncement Of the discovery of evil
dence pointing to the belief that
Charles A Edwards of New York. the
victim of the mysterious murder at the
Hitler homestead. was not shot in the
bed where he was found, was the most
interesting development in the case to-
day. The evidence came to light when
an examination was made of the cloth
ing Of the body. On one Of the stock
ings. the left one, a blood clot as large
as the end of a mans thumb was dis
covered, and blood had soaked through
the gtoelking@and spread over tlaer top of
the instep.
Not Shot In Bed.
This is thought TO leave little doubt
that the body was placed in the guest
chamber bed after the shooting, and de-
tectives are working on the theory that
the man was shot while standing or in
some position where the blood from the
wound in the left side of the head
would fail upon his foot. The fact that
on the left stocking also there was a
collection of Int or carpet dirt is be-
( heVed to lend color to the theory that
he was dragged in an unconscious con-
ditiOn 10 the bed. There was no lint
on the stocking which covered the right
foot. It was said today that two bull
let's have been found imbedded in one
Of the walls Of the guest chamber.
Did Not Penetrate Brain.
A blood clot on the brain is now said
to have been the cause OF death direct
ly, though It is believed that the cIot
resulted from the bullet wound. The
bullet did not penetrate the brain mat
ter but lodged just under the inner
surface Of the skull at the top of the
head, after passing through the upper
part of the left ear. The formal report
Of the medical examiner on the direc-
ti6n taken by the bullet and the cause
Of death was not given to the coroner
today, as the chemical examination Of
the stomach and other organs had not
been completed. This examination was
conducted at the Yale medical school
laboratory.
Poison Rumor Denied.
Reports circulated during the day
that poison had been found in the body
were denied b. the surgeons who as
sisted in the autopsy, but the result of
the chemists examination were never
theless awaited with interest,
The search for the pistol with which
the crime was committed went on to-
day without result. At the coroner's
office it was stated that his report on
the inquest would not be given out to-
night though the investigation is about
complete.

A Fatal Contrast.

From the New York Tribune.
Secretary Root has done a useful and
necessary service in contrasting the
achievements and purposes of real re-
former like President Roosevelt with the
reckless promises and meretricious activi-

WITHOUT PRECEDENT
Secretary Roots Speech Thus
Characterized.
COMMENTS BY THE PRESS
Utica Utterance Regarded as Com
pletely Exposing Hearst.
A POWERFUL INDICTMENT
"True Not Because Root Says So,
but Because 1t is
True"
Ernm the Now York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The speech delivered last night by the
Secretary of State is without any prece-
dent in the history of the country. An
election is about to take place in this state
and the people called upon to choose
between two candidates At the supreme
crisis of the campaign the federal exeCu-
tive feels itself imperativey called upon to
interpose with all the moral force and in
fuence at it's command in favor of one of
those candidates and against the other. The
whole weight, dignity and authority of the
national administration are exerted in an
extraordinary appeal One candidate is APP
proved and commended to all our citizens.
and the other is denounced in terms which.
while temperate in form and judicial and
dignified in tone. can be regarded only as
destructive when addressed to sane and pa
triotiC men.
No episode in our history can compare
with it. The President of the United States
Is speaking. He is doing so in no Individual
or personal capacity, but as the nations
head clothed with the traditional power Of
his exalted office He has chosen the Sec
rotary of State, one of the most honored
and illustrious figures in our public life. as
his mouthpieCe; but ii is his utterance; and
of the fact there is disguise.
Read in this light, and there is none other
in which it can be read, it has no place in
the polemics Of a political campaign. 1t is
something wholly apart from the heat and
passion of contests, note of warning 50
impressive and startling that 1t must call
halt in the progress OF mems minds not only
here but throughout the whole country.
When it has been read and pondered, and
for long thereafter. all thoughtful men will
wonder what sinister and baleful influence
1t is that has brought about that grave and
lamentable condition of the public mind.
which has made Hearst even passing pos
sibility, nay, an actual and potential men

Mr. Hearst has issued a circular compar-

has endeavored to make voters believe that
he and Theodore Roosevelt stand for the
same thing in American politics He has
been trying to climb into office upon the
popularity Of the President of the United
States ami he invited the castigation that
he has received.
Every voter who wishes to know what
Theodore Roosevelt thinks of William r.
Hearst should read the speech made by Mr.
Roosevelts Secretary of State. And il is
fact of great significance that Mr.. Roose-
velt's opinion OF Hearst and Hearstism does
not differ materially from that held by an
overwhelming majority of intelligent and
well-informed citizens of the United States
democrats and republicans alike. 1t is no
partisan view that Mr.. Root presented last
night. Three-quarters of the democrats in
Congress, senator's and representatives

soLEMNLY ENcoURAGING.

An Iowa man has been moved by an uneasy conscience to turn over ten cents to the government. This will seem little ridiculous to some peo- pie whose consctences are not yet un- easy, but it isn't. It is solemnly en- couraging. It indicates that con- science is still powerful, and it gives hope that many other men may imi- tate this good example. "A little leav- en leaveneth the whole lump" and perhaps by and by we shall see streams of people besieging the tax offices to pay taxes they have dishon- estly eyaded. Perhaps other streams will seek to pay the government for cheating in importation. Perhaps those who have got rich by land frauds will give up their tainted money. Perhaps the bad trusts will repent and sin no more And even some of those who have, ,rejoiced in escaping the conduc- ter in the street cans may yet feel that they have really been robbers.
 If such a time of uneasy conscience and obedience to it's demands should ever come wouldn't there be some sur- prises?

TIE PEST ADKERYLSING.

Advertising is being more thoughtful ly considered by advertisers than it used to be, and this thoughtful consid- eration has resulted in some conclu- sions that are profitable to advertisers. For instance, when the Retail Mer- chants Association, in session at Rich mond Virginia, adopted resolutions ad- vising the membership to advertise only in newspapers a most wise and most wholesome stand was taken, and for good reasons. The association de- l clared that people have formed the habit of regarding circulars with scant notice, if any, and billboard advertls- ing is identified In the public mind with the blare and extravaganza of cir GUS and vaudeville exploitation" Of the newspapers the association said: In the first place. the newspaper affords wider and prompter publicity and a more effective distribution of advertis- ing information than any other means that could possibly be employed. The daily paper goes into many thousands of homes and is read by many thou sands of people, Tn the newspaper the advertiser can bring his name and his bargains to the attention of many thou sands having the time and the disposi- tion to give deliberate and undisturbed attention to what is presented to them in the columns of the journal.
 These are true words about the news paper. Newspaper advertising is the best for all concerned.

A Paris lawsuit has revealed a queer 6tate of things, It is disclosed by the evidence that Mme Therese Humbert, the adventures, anxious to obtain fame for her husband Frederic Hum bert, in his career as a painter, prom ised $20,00O to M. RoySet, the we'll known master colorist, if he would help Humbert paint picture that should figure in the Salon of 1890 This was done, and the picture, entitled Louis Treize and Mile. de Hautefort," was signed by Frederic Humbert although painted by Roybet, and received a third class medal from the jury of the Salon. But Mime. Therese Humbert never paid the promised $2O,0OO, At the Humbert sale the picture fetched S1,200. The purchaser, a dealer named Danthon, learning the facts, went to Roybet, asking him to cut the canvas an two, calling one "A Court Benedfc- aion" and the other A Cardinal Await ing Louis XIII" This was done, and the two pictures were sold to an anna teur M. viguier, for $22 1000, but M.
