PRETTY WOMAN MURDE RED

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October IAN unidentified
woman, young and showing signs of re-
finement in dress and features, was found
dead this morning on the freight tracks
Of the New York Central railroad at
Riverside Park and 11Sth street Every
indication pointed, 1t was said, to mur-
der. 1t appeared that the body was
thrown there to give the idea that the
woman either fell from the cliff above or
was run over by train.
Not a clue that would lead to the identi-
fication of the young woman was found
by the police. Any jewelry that she might
have have had on had seen taken Her money
The wounds from which she must have
died almost instantly were such that it
did not seem possible that she could have
received them accidentally either by fall
ing off the cliff or by having been run
over by one of the trains which run by
this point.
There was a body wound high up near
the throat, her jaw was apparently
broken, her skull was fractured and the
upper part of her face had evidently
been struck with some blunt weapon.
From the wound in the breast, which
looked as If it might have come from
a knife blow, there were trac-S of blood,
apparently fresh. These, however, were
the only traces upon the body. The
clothing and hands of the young woman
We're entirely free from blood stains.
Indications pointed to the fact that the
young woman had met her death only a
short time before her body was found.
The woman was about thirty years old
and of medium height. She was dressed
entirely in black, with black shirt waist,
black skirt and black shoes and stock
ings. Her clothing was of good material,
though her shoes showed signs of hard
usage.

NEW YORK, October 7.-Announcement
Is made that ]. ]. McCafferty, a we'll
known horse owner and trainer, and one
OF the picturesque figures of the turf to-
day, will be restored to good standing in
racing affairs through the clemency of
Thomas II. Williams. president of the CAL
ifornia Jockey Club in withdrawing a de-
cision ruling McCafferty of the turf.
The action under which McCafferty was
ruled off in San Francisco two years ago
followed official investigation of charges
made against each other by McCafferty
and G. Z. Durnell. which caused the San
Francisco turf officials to impose fines on
both. Neither Of the men, who after hay-
In been close friends. had become bitter
enemies, was satisfied, and on appeal from
the first decision they renewed such
charges against each other as to cause
the California Jockey Club to rule both
of them OFF the turf. Durnell secured
reinstatement after few months, but
MeCanerty has remained in exile barred
from all the privileges Of the turf up to
date.

Tell Of Boat Incident.
P1TTSBURG, October THE members
of the Pittsburg delegation to the deep
waterways convention at Memphis re-
turned home last night. They do not
agree with President Theodore Roosevelt
that during the trip to Memphis there
was any danger of collision between the
steamboat Mississippi, on which was the
presidential party, and the Fred Hart
veg, on which was the Pittsburg delega-
ton.
The members Of the Pittsburg delega-
ton profess to believe that an Injustice
was done Pilot c.. L. Nichols of the Hart
veg, who was suspended on orders IRON
the President.
Capt. John Moren. who was on the
Mississippi, says he was close to the
President when the Hartweg came near,
but at no time were the steamers closer
than 100 feet, and there was not the
slightest danger of collision.
Il was on the Hartweg," said Cant
w. B. Rodgers, land l never saw a feet
handled better. There was no accident
and at no time was there the least danger
of any accident or collision. The Presi-
dent must have a mistaken notion when
he thinks that experienced riyerman
would take any chances at such time"

War Among Leaders of the
Striking TeIegraphers.
PRESIDENT SMALL'S IRE
Stands Firmly Against Calling Out
Leased Wire Men.
CRISIS ARRIVED AT NEW YORK
Head of the Union Says Fight Can
Be Won Without Resorting
to Such Tactics.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October War has
broken out among the leaders of the strik-
ing telegraph operators, and the end OF
the long drawn-out strike may come at
any moment. When President Small of
the Telegraphers Union arrived at the
Headquarters of the strikers in the Astor
House today he was fighting mad He
had made up his mind to stand firmly on
his plan of refusing to call out the leased
wire men, and he said he would brook
no interference from the members of the
New York local.
THE leased wire men will not be called
out he said, with emphasis Il will not
stand for any such extreme foolishness.
AS l said at the meeting in Clinton Hall
yesterday, will not permit the breaking
of contracts with employers. The leased
wire men have a right to be heard In
the matter, and they are unit against
going out We can win this fight with
out resorting to any such tactics.
That critical moment has arrived IN
the conduct of the strike which may result
even In the disfranchisement Of the New
York local II it persists in calling out
the leased wire operators against the
strenuous opposition Of the national union
was plainly evidenced today when Deputy
signed. President Small selected MI.
Thomas to act as his representative In
this city, and he has had leading voice
in the conduct of the strike up to the
present time He is said to have been in
sympathy with Chief Strategist Daniel
Russell of the New York local, who In
sists that 1t is necessary to call out the
leased wire men to win their fight.
Thomas Resigned.
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Small clashed yes
terday, and, after a heated argument the
former resigned. His getting out leaves
President Small without a representative
in the city, and unless Mr.. Small selects
another he will have to be on the job In
the same Office with Mr.. Russell. AS the
two are at loggerheads about the desira-
bility of calling out the leased wire men
1t Is not improbable that they will clash
also.
President Small, in a statement he made
today, plainly showed that he will not
back down an inch from his announced
determination not to sanction the action
of the local in calling out the leased wire
operators He said: III the New York
local persists in calling out the leased
wire men it will surely be disfranchised.
On the other hand the New York local
officers say that they will call out the
leased wire men. The showdown may
come late today at meeting at Clinton
Hall.
