INTERFERENCE IN POLITICS.
Senator Simmons Hot After North
Carolina Officeholders.

Senator Simmons, chairman of the North
Carolina democratic committee. has charged
that federal interference in politics in North
Carolina had become so bold of late" that
he intended. if necessary, to ask Congress
to investigate.
These officials. he said at Raleigh yes
terday, had always been more or
less active in behalf of their candi-
dates and against democratic lcand-
dates. This year, he said marshaled
as an army under the direction Of it's chief,
they present front of organized activity
never before shown by them in this state"
He charged that this was because the Pres
ident and departments of government had
turned over to the chairman of the repub-
lican party all federal offices in his state
not under the civil service. and because the
republicans at their recent convention in
Greensboro passed resolution requiring all
candidates for federal positions to file appli-
cations for appointment with the executive
committee. and to agree In writing to abide
by the decision of the committee.
Senator Simmons declared that If the gov
eminent and the courts, did not take hold
of the condition in the revenue collection
district in western North Carolina. he would
be compelled to demand a senatorial inves-
tigaton. The senator added that he intend
ed to call upon the people of the state to
advise him of any political activity of fed
eral officials, and wherever the evidence
furnished showed that such official was viO-
lating the civil service rule by improper and
offensive activity or interference. he would
refer the matter to the President, the civil
service commission, or the appropriate ex-
eCutive department, with the request for an
investigation and discipline and punishment.
He declared if the people could not other
wise procure protection against unwar-
ranted interference he would deem 1t his
duty to call the matter to the attention of
Congress and ask for an investigation and
for necessary legislation.

SLAIN AND DISMEMBERED.
Parts of Mans Body Found in New
vorlx

A buriap bag stamped with the name 81.
X. Mano,' a strip of a woman's skirt and
an oicoth table covering bearing a rude
sketch of the landing of Columbus are the
only immediate clues to the perpetrators
of a revolving murder committed In the
early hours of yesterday morning and acct
dentally revealed by a grewsome discovery
in West 36th street. New York, yesterday.
The diSmembered body of man, appar
entity an italian, wrapped in the burlap bag
was found in a hole twenty-four feet deep.
forming a part of an excavation for build
ing The discovery was made by the day
watchman for the building contractors. and
later the police by a systematic search
found the parts of mans legs from the
knees down and the arms and hands. These
were wrapped together in a newspaper of
the date of September 10 and bound about
the bundle was strip of a woman's skirt.
All was neatly and securely tied with
string suggesting deliberate preparation
This latter bundle lay under a covering
of hay in freight at Seth street and
18th avenue. The car had been unloaded of
shipment of horses yesterday. The head
and the thighs Of the man are missing.
/ 1t is the theory of the police that the
murder was committed near where the body
was found. and that three packages of the
dismembered parts had been made with the
purpose that they be disposed of at some
distance from the scene OF the crime The
police believe that the persons carrying the
bundles became alarmed and hurriedly con-
cealed them at the nearest convenient hid
ing place They expect to find third
package in the same vicinity.
Coroner's Physician Weston, who ex-
| amined the body. said that the work of dis
memberment had been deliberately and
skilfully done.
DR.. Weston uncovered the body. which
had been first wrapped in a newspaper. then
covered with a table oilcloth. He said
| from appearances the remains were those
| of Italian or Syrian, In life about five
| feet three inches In height. weighing ap-
proximately 100 pounds. and from the ap-
| pearance of the hands probably mechanic.
| The body had been washed afterA1eath
which had evidently preceded the discovery
| stefan said death had occurred after Sat
| urady midnight
There were three stab wounds on the
| body-one Immediately over the heart, an
| other in the left shoulder and the third in
the right breast.

FUNSTON OFF FOR CUBA.
Declares Only Orders Are to Report
to Taft.

Brigadier Gen. Frederick Funston arrived
at Jacksonville, Fla, yesterday and left
within ten minutes for Port Tampa. where
he boarded the steamer Olivette last night
for Havana via Key West.
Gen. Funston said positively that he had
no other orders than the original order
from Secretary of War Taft to report to
him In Havana AS soon as possible.
1T Is possible" said Gen. Funston. that
Secretary Taft wishes to send me out to
confer with some of the insurgent leaders.
as he Is aware that l am well acquainted
with a large number OF Cubans who were
prominent during the last Cuban revolution
against Spanish authority. / cannot now re-
call meeting any Of the insurgent leaders
whose names have been mentioned In the
press dispatches. but am well acquainted
with q large number of the prominent Gu
bans connected with the government OF
Cuba. When I was with the Cuban revolu-
tionists I was principally in the eastern end
OF the island and not with any Of the insur-
gents in the western provinces / do not
know Gen. Pine Guerra, and think that he
must have been with Gen. MaceO in Pinar
del Rio.
LAS to what preparation has been made
for sending United States troops to Cuba
In case Secretary Taft decides they are
needed, am not at liberty to state. am
merely Obeying orders and win report to
Secretary Taft Immediately upon my arrival
in Cuba Tuesday morning.

EVANS IN THE LEAD
STRONG CANDIDATE FOR GOV
~ERNoR IN TENNESSEE.
pecfaI Correspondence of. The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NASHVILLE. Tenn. September a. 1903
The fight for governor of the state be-
tween H. Clay Evans and Representative
Patterson is waxing warm. Evans will
get practically the solid republican vote.
and that means that he will leave east Ten
nessee with nearly 10000 majority. The
fight for Congress in the first district be-
tween Representative Brownlow and ALI
Taylor is red-hot. and it now seems certain
that 1t will benefit Evans. as every republi-
can vote will be pol!ed: consequently Evans
will receive a great majority there as both
men are pledged to support him, and 1t
would be suicidal for either not to do SO. as
the republicanism of those mountaineers is
Of such brand that they would slaughter
any fellow who proved traitor to Evans in
this fight
Another big factor in Evans favor is that
he is total abstainer. and has for a cam
paign manager Baptist deacon. who will
undoubtedly capture a large temperance
and church vote. This Baptist deacon
Newell Sanders-has been associated with
Evans in business for years. and loves him
as a brother. and for that reason he is
working night and day to capture the moral
vote Of the state for the Chattanooga man.
and there appears to be no reason why he
will not get the most Of that vote.
no temperance ScHtitNeuI III ActiiicSScc -
very strong. and both parties have taken
stand for the cause. but the republican po-
sitlon Ii the more aggressive. and appears
to meet the favor Of the temperance people.
Drastic Saloon Law.
The present "four-mile law" prohibits the
establishment of saloons within four miles
Of a school house, except in Incorporated
towns. This has wiped all the saloons out
Of the state except in eight cities. The
democrats say the citizens OF those cities
should have the right to say whether they
want saloons or not. The republicans say
no. and declare that they favor extending
the ''four-mile law to those cities. as well
as the other counties IN the state, practi-
cally declaring for prohibition. They use
as an argument that the people In the
country around those cities have some
rights that the city people should consider.
and for that reason 1t should not be for
the Inhabitants OF those cities to pass upon
q question alone that affects them also.
Therefore It is safe to say that Evans will
get 10000 democrats on the temperance
issua.
Evans friends pooh pooh the idea that
he will lose any large number of Unto"

soldiers on account of his policy In the
pension Office. They claim that the Union
soldiers of east Tennessee fought for the
Union to keep 1t together and not for any
money consideration in the shape OF
pension: that they the descendants
of wings who strongly believe in protec-
ton and nothing can swerve them In their
fealty to the republican ticket On the
other hand. Evans managers claim he
will receive 5000 ex-confederate votes In
this election.
Ex-Confederate Votes for Evans
Only the other day Colonel Jerome Hill
Of Memphis came out for Evans in these
words:
THE democratic party from the eastern
county Of Carter to the western county.
Shelby. is mostly on the fence. L see
strong disposition among others. and In
tend to vote for Fl. Clay Evans. who was
once elected and wronged out of the gov
ernor's office.
MANY old confederates feel that they
do not want to cross the great divide with
the odum upon them that they approve
wrongdoing In elections. They wish to
set themselves right. and they will vote
for Evans"
Representative Patterson is working hard
to stem the Evans tide and Is causing
considerable enthusiasm among the demo
cratic leaders with his clear cut speeches..
but it Is the belief of all independent OBJ
servers that unless the situation changes
before November that he viii be sorry
that he secured nomination only AFTER
humiliating Governor Cox with all sorts OF
enithets and charges. 1t certainly looks
like Evans will be the next governor OF
Tennessee with the liquor element IN the
cities fighting him hard. -'~~-.-.-.

In conclusion Superintendent McComb
says:
made in my last annual report that con-

until expended. instead of lapsing with the
fiscal year. There is no apparent advantage
be more satisfactorily used II they were
available until expended.
IAN important feature of recent work IS
it's increased cost over previously prevail
ing rates. due to increased cost of materials
and la Dor.
Scope of the Project.
1.-The sewage disposal project is based
upon the discharge of sewage from a popu-
lation of 100000 into the Potomac river.
which furnishes sufficient water for its dilu-
ton to inoffensive condition.
1T is wise to consider what will be neces-
sary when that population will be exceeded,
because any method of treatment will re-
quire the purchase of land and available
land may be expected to increase in value.
With the completion of the present project,
an investigation of the future requirements
Of the District is proposed based upon mod
ern methods Of sewage publication as illus
trated in works in operation in Bir
minSham, Manchester and other English
cities: in works under construction in Co
lumbus. Ohio, and Baltimore, Md, and ex-
detrimental work in other localities
Il dNsre to testify to the efficient and
faithful work of the employees of the sewer
division during the past fiscal year.
