PROBABLE IDENTIFICATION.
One Victim Thought to Be Sophie
kehrer of Buffalo, N. Y.

buffalo, n. Y, July 3O.-A brother
in-laW of Sophie Kehrcr living at IS
Barry Place, this city, has been III
formed that one Of the women victims
of the New York stranger was his
SiStcr-in-law, Sophie. She went to
New York to live about year ago.
She was 80 years old. Her father
lives in TonaWanda. Her maiden
name was Trainer and the family is
said to have gone to Tonawanda from
Toronto.
At Il late hour tonight no arrests had
hcen made in the cases of the two women
who were stranslcd to death and whose
bodies were discovered, one last night
and the other early today. Detectives
have been hard ut work on the cases but
have been unable to find any trace of the
murderer or murdcrcrs.
Tho woman who was found dead with a
nccktic knottcd around her throat in !,
boarding house in I'd street has been
identified under several names 1t seems
probable that She is Mrs. Sophia Kehrer,
wife OF Jacob kehrer of Buffalo. The
police have discovered that she lived at
different times in Brooklyn and Jersey
City.
The body was identified today as that
of a woman who called herself Mrs. Mary
Graham and who has recently lived in a
boarding house in East 9th street. 1t ap-
pears that the woman changed her name
frequently. The woman with whom she
boarded in eth street gave the police a
fair description Of two men who often
called on her there and the police hope
to lc able to fine them.
The police have as yet found no clue as
I" the identity OF the woman whose body
was found in an area way in East Goth
street. They believe. however. that both
crimes were committed by the same per-
son. as both bodies were mutilatcd in the
same manner.

It it's original and salutary form and as it found echo in our declaration of independence the cry for equality was coupled with one for liberty and, in this country, it amounted to a protest against arbitrary and oppressive priv ileges, against distinctions justified by no material difference, to a demand that the law give every man a fair trial and no favors. But it was quick ly seen that to make men more free would make them less nearly equal, that the fairer their start the more quickly and surely would some come to the front and others fall behind; that in short, if equality had the meaning which leaders in revolutionary thought are more and more inclined to give it 1 equality was inconsistent with fiber. ty,' and they must choose between them; they recognized, in fact, though not in words, this necessity and gave
