SAME MAN SUSPECTED.
Two New York Women Found Stran'
QIed to Death.

2'ON ~ OVotSs
New York, July 31.-The bodies of
two women with the marks of the
strangle on their threats have been
found here within the last twelve
hours and the police believe that one
man committed both crimes. Neither
Of the victims has been identified.
One woman was found dead in an
areaway on East Ninetieth street. The
marks of thumb and forefinger were
visible on her throat and her face and
was about twenty-seven years of age.
No one in the neighborhood heard
sounds of a struggle.
The body of the other woman, also
the victim of stranger, was found
in Twenty-second street boarding
house. The woman came to the house
with man who gave his name as
Davis. Her body was found in the
room the couple had occupied. A neck.
tie had been knotted tightly around
her throat and she had been dead for
several hours. The blood vessels In
the neck were broken and the woman's
clothing was drenched in blood. No
trace Of the man, who had the appear
ance Of a foreigner, has been found.
The dead woman was about twenty:
four years of age.
An examination Of the bodies Of the
strangled victims disclosed the fact
that both had been mutilated. This
fact leads the police to believe that
both murders were committed by a
person or persons possessed Of an
insane desire to mutilate their vic
tins

A Few Questions Answered.

St. Paul, July 31.-(Special to the
Pioneer. &c. G.. Schultz, assistant
superintendent of public instruction,
has rendered an opinion to the
superintendent of schools at Water
town, Mimi, covering several ques-
tons which are frequently raised.
Four points are made in the ruling,
as follows:
Il. A pupil who makes his home
with relatives in a school district
other than the one in which his
parents live would be entitled to free
tuition in it's schools, if that is his
home and he can show that he has
no other. If, however, he is staying
with them for the purpose only of
attending school, and is not in fact
making his home with them, so as to
be resident, the board could charge
him tuition.
"a pupil working and supporting
himself in a school district other
than the one in which his parents
live, would, 1 am disposed to think,
be entitled to free tuition, if he is
actually supporting himself and in
fact making his home at the place
where he is working. This, it seems
to me, is a case where a school
board ought to be liberal enough to
give the boy the opportunity of free
schooling.
3. A state graded school may
charge tuition for nonresident pupils,
though they take up studies which
properly belong to the high school
course. A high school cannot charge
tuition to pupils who are enrolledin
the high school department.
4. A county superintendent who
furnishes his own team while visit
ing schools and on official business
is not entitled to compensation for
use of the team, under the ruling of
Mr.. Jelley of the attorney generals
department, in his opinion inter,
preting the law"

An amendment proposed by the
friends of Taft and opposed by the
friends of Foraker was adopted by a
vote of II to 10 saying in effect that
there Is no intention to eliminate Sen
ators Foraker or Dick from politics in
Ohio. The resolution endorsing Taft
for president was as follows
1--WE believe that the great majority
Of the people of Ohio, convinced of
the high character, great ability and
distinguished services Of Secretary
Taft, endorse his candidacy for the
presidency; and, further,
Eve declare that the Republicans Of
Ohio overwhelmingly desire that the
name of Hon. William Howard Taft be
presented to the nation as Ohio's can.
didate for president and that the Re-
publicans of other states are invited
to cooperate with the Republicans of
Ohio to secure his nomination in
1908"
The amendment to the resolution
was offered at once. It is to the effect
that it is not the intention to elm
mate either Senator Foraker or Sen.
ator Dick from politics in Ohio. This
was offered by the Taft people and
was bitterly opposed by the Foraker
element. The amendment was adopt
ed by vote of II to 10 and the reso-
luton was then adopted with the
amendment by a vote of Is to 6.

DENIED BY HARRY THAW.
Report That His Wife Proposed Re-
turning to the Stage.


New York, July 31.-The following
signed statement was made by Harry
K. Thaw at the Tombs to the Asso-
ciated Press regarding the report that
his wife proposed returning to the
stage:
This story, like many others, Is
absolutely false and has been started,
l believe, for one of two reasons,
either to give false impression of my
wife's character and steadfastness
with cowardly intent of injuring us all
or simply to fill space"
Later Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
gave an authoritative statement to the
Associated Press concerning her
plans, declaring that she has no pres
ent intention of returning to the
stage. but will devote her energies to
the study of music. Mrs. Thaw Wis
tied her husband in the Tombs, after
which she made the statement.
mo, I have not the slightest inten-
ton Of going back to the STAGE" Mrs.
Thaw said, "and l am quite sure that
I don't know where such report
came from. I have started to take
singing lessons at the suggestion of
my physician, who says that I have
some slight affection of the vocal
chords. My health, otherwise, is per-
feet. No, 1 have never even dreamed
Of going on the stage. When I first
went on the boards I had the idea I
second. That idea soon fed after one
or two rehearsals and now I would
never think Of going back to the
stage. I am simply going to study
music to strengthen my voice."

Men and Their Autooraphs.

An experienced autograph collector
can almost tell to what profession a
man belongs by the grudglngness or
otherwise of his response Actors and
vocalists never demur They rather
seem to like it. Poets and authors of
fiction accede, but with a certain cold
dignity; metaphysicians and philoso-
piers either refuse altogether or com.
ply with bad grace; dramatists. not
only send their autographs, but a quo.
tation from their works as we'll; peers
sign, but with a stiff and formal hau-
teur; judges and barristers sign in such
a way that it is not possible to squeeze
an I. O. u. over the name. In fact,
every class has-of course, with excep-
tions-its own way Of dealing with the
importantly of the autograph fend.-H.

HELD TO GRAND JURY
Strike Leader on Iron Range Ar
rested at Hibbing, MINI.
CHARGE NOT A SERIOUS ONE
Taken Into Custody While Attempting
to Enter Mining Property and, When
Searched, Found to Be Carrying a
Concealed Weapon.

Hibbing, Mimi, July 31.-Teofilo
Petriella, the active leader of the
strike, was placed under arrest here
shortly after a. m. on the charge OF
carrying concealed weapons and was
confined in the Hibbing Jail.
Petriella was released in $1,000 bail
after being bound over for the action
of the grand jury in September.
Petriella and Mahoney, the acting
president of the Western Federation
of Miners, were driving in the fedora
ton carriage toward Chisholm. They
were crossing the bridge which leads
to the Sellers mine when the guard
ordered them to stop. Instead Of pull
ing in his horse Petriella whipped up
and tried to pass. The guard fired sew
eral shots into the air and Petriella
was instantly surrounded by several
deputies. He was arrested and when
searched was found to have revolver
and 5000 in money on his person. He
was held on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons. Mahoney offered
to allow himself to be searched, but
he carried no weapons.
The men made no attempt to gather
about the jail where Petriella was
confined. Mahoney returned to Hib-
bling after his companion had been ar
rested.
Aside from Petriella's arrest every
thing is quiet on the range. About
the same mines are working as were
being operated Monday with slightly
larger crews. The men are gradually
dropping into their old jobs. The
Clark mine has sixty men in it's day
shift and the Chisholm mine forty.

VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY
Charges Soldier With involuntary
MansIauuhter,

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, July 81
The verdict of coroner's jury in the
case OF Miss Elizabeth Cadenhead of
Fergus, Ont, who was shot and killed
by Private Cyrus Gillette, who was
aiming at deserter, charges him with
involuntary manslaughter. A warrant
was issued by Prosecuting Attorney
Holden and demand will be made on
officers at Fort Brady for the man,
which probably will be refused. Hol-
den says he will exhaust every re-
source to get Gillette If he has to
take the case to the secretary of war
and the supreme court. He claims
that court decisions, which say civil
authorities cannot try Gillette, do not
apply to this case.
