The perfectly preserved head Of
a gray haired old man. cut cleanly

severed just above the wrist were
found in gunnysack by two lit
tie girls in a vacant lot in Oak
street, between Steiner and
Pierce, yesterday afternoon. They
were making mud pies and opened
the sack to fill it with sand. When
its grewsorne contents were re-

and ran direct into the arms OF
Policeman w. S. Neill. Neill
notified the chief of police and
the coroner and an investigation
was started.
A close scrutiny revealed a hole
in the head, and Detective Ross
Whitaker reported that a bullet
hole had been found in the head,
and that the man had been mur-
dered. Half the detectives of the
department. were. sent out on the
case and the word was passed
around that a second Tortorici
case had been uncovered.
A nights work on the part OF
the detectives, while it did not
serve to entirely clear up the
mystery, modified in a manner
the theory of murder and devel-
oped certain facts that would in
dicate that the CHASTITY remains
were of a vivisection subject from
some medical college.
A short time after the fragments OF
body had been removed to the norgeu

Hartman Seeks Very
Peculiar Proxy
Special By Leased Wire TO The Coll


NEW YORK, Sept. s-Union Pacific
stock holders today expressed great
surprise at the form of proxy which
e. H. Hartman had sent out for the
annual meeting of the company to be
held in Salt Lake City on October s..
The usual form of proxy is sllorg and
simply gives the power to the assignee
to vote so many shares of stock.
Hartman asks for authority not only
to elect directors, but to vote for any
resolution that may come before the
meeting ratifying and approving ali of
the acts of the board of directors since
the last annual meeting. Wall street
construes this to mean that Hartman
asks his stock holders to approve all of
his purchases Of stock in other corpora
tions and his other acts which were
brought out at the interstate commerce
investigation. The proxy is accom-
panied by a letter asking the stock
holder to sign it in the presence of a
witness and send 1t to Alexander Mill
lar, secretary.

Declares Former Captain of
the Guard Knew of
Opium Plant
DIRECTOR HIS FRIEND.
Official Speaks Plainly
When He Loses Hope
of Holding On

y
SACRAMENTO. Sept. O.
Warden Archibald Yell of Folsom
prison has given up hope of re-
appointment when his term ex-
pires December l.. The personal
hostility of Director r. T. Devlin
and the demands of the "push"
of Sacramento on Governor Gill
lett are assigned by the warden as
the reasons. Realizing that fur
ther discretion, so far as his
tenure is concerned, is of no avail
he speaks plainly of the situation
and makes some startling remarks
about Former Captain of the
Guard R. D. Murphy, because of
whose dismissal Devlin is said to
have waged a nerciless war on
the head of the penitentiary.
When I took charge of the
prison said Yell today, "Devlin came
to me and asked me to retain Captain
Murphy
Il knew that Murphy had always
been a trouble maker at the prison and
suspected him of being a leading factor
in ring that was smuggling opium
into the prison and selling it to the
convicts. told him, after Devlins re-
quest, that he might remain as captain
of the guard so long as he behaved
himself.
But 1 couldn't keep opium out of
the prison SO long Murphy remained
there. For example, we made a search
one day for a plant or the drug that
we knew had been made / directed
Murphy to search the Toulouse. He as
sured me that the opium was not there.
ordered him to make an examination
anyhow. He came back and said he
could find nothing. Then I took some
of the guards with me and we searched
the place. We found a large plant
there.
I suspected Murphy all along. Final
credit my administration. That was
the attempted break in which several
convicts were wounded. Captain MUIR
ply was made a hero by the news
papers. knew the facts. however, and
dismissed Murphy at the first opportu-
nifty
Ever since then Director Devlin has
been Bitterly hostile toward me. MUIR
ply is his warm friend. No serious
fault has ever been found with my ad-
ministration of the prison. But Devlin
and the Sacramento political push want
my scalp.
For several years the prisons have
been kept out of politics in large
measure. The warden at San Quentin
has been a republican and am demo-
crat But that idea of nonpolitical adj
ministration has vanished since the
push has gained control of the situa-
tion.
rs it right for q prosecuting official,
such as United States District Attorney
Devlin is, to be on a prison board where
often he is called upon to sit in judg-
ment on convicts and possibly men
whom he has prosecuted? I don't think
it is
Murphy is postmaster at Folsom.
which position it is said he gained
through the aid of Devlin.

SACRAMENTO. Sept. 6.-Ten
of the 80 resolutions presented to
the national irrigation congress
today by the committee sing the
praises of Theodore Roosevelt
and his administration of the gov
ernmental affairs of the land. The
Communications began with Con
gratulations for the integrity and
efficiency of branches of the pub
lie service" and ended with an
expression of thanks to the presi-
dent and the congress of the
United States "for the many
blessings which have flown and
will flow to the people of the
q United States from the reclama-
ton act" The remarkable thing about
it al is that some third term cry has
not been raised, or that instead some
demand has not been made that Gif-
ford Pinchot should be the next presi-
dent. Roosevelt and Pinchot are
esteemed by the irrigators in a degree
that few men in public life have the
honor to attain.
But IN the abundance of their good
viii these builders of the west did not
hesitate to gainsay the president. in
one OF HIS most earnest endeavors in
statecraft. Notwithstanding his strong
attitude on the removal Of tariff duties
on all Philippine products, the pro
tests" were entered against the .en-
actment OF any further legislation
favoring Philippine sugar. 1t was
urged that Legislation. agitation and
attacks on the sugar production of the
country cease to the end that the great
industry Of beet growing in arid Amer
sea may be rapidly and fully developed .
The irrigationists are very much in
earnest on this resolution. the whereas
setting forth that the beet culture has
grown amazingly" in the past 10 years.
and that the acreage will be greatly
added 10 within the near future. thus
ahording our farmers an annually
growing and additional income If this
wealth producing resource Of the Amer
lean farmer is not interfered with"
PRESIDENTS TENDER SPOT
This doubtless win hit the president
fn tender spot. for it was a. grievous
blow to him when congress at Wash
ington refused to let down the tariff
barrier against the islands. But the
action also indicates that a deep sin
cerity marks this convention when on
tie other hand II speaks well of the
'grrigators' best friend"
