MYSTERY
BODY OF WOMAN FOUND
AT SEATTLE IDENTIFIED
Police Inclined to Hold HuS-
band Of Dead Girl Response
Bile for CowardIy Crimej|
Suspect Cannot be Found.

Seattle, Wash, Sept 23.-The po-
lice have positively Identified the body
of the dead woman found stuffed in
trunk cast upon the beach at South
Alki yesterday morning, as that of
Mrs. Agnes Trueman McCorbs Cow
ington, seventeen years old. The
woman had been strangled to death.
She was the wife of Frank Covington
for several months employed as a
salesman by Seattle liquor company
Covington is missing and the police
are looking for him. Acquaintances
say they have not seen him for a
week.
The body in the trunk had been
dead at least a week Mrs. Coving-
ton Is daughter of Trueman Nc
CORDS, who lives near Vernon. b. c.
The only plausible motive SO far ad-
vanced for the crime is that murder
followed a violent quarrel A woman
said today that Covington and his wife
lived at her house for several months
and finally had to be ordered from
the house. They left about ten days
ago, and since then the police have
lost track Of them. Information. how
ever, that appears to come as reliable,
is that after leaving this house the
Covingtons went to South Alki and
lived in a tent. If it be found that
they did live at South Alki, the police
are confident that the murder was
committed in the tent there. and in
order to cover up the crime the body
was stuffed in the trunk and deposited
in the bay. The trunk is an old-fash-
ioned round-tOp receptacle.
The Covngtons are known to have
had that particular kind of a trunk.

further testimony In the governments
action against the company. Tilford
testified that the Manhattan Oil COM
pany Of Ohio had sold to the Stand
ard company 754 tank cars between
1899 and 1901. The purchase was
made for the Standard company by
its subsidiary company, the Union
Tank line. Tilford could not say If
the Standard made any contract to
supply certain gas companies with oil
when 1t took over the Manhattan COM
pany.
"As a matter OF fact. don't you
know that the Standard oil company
made a contract with the Peoples
Gas and Light company?''
Yes, such contract was made in
1882 said Tllford.
And was not that contract made
because f.. c. Benedict and Anthony
Brady would not sell the Manhattan
Oil company unless the gas conn n
les were guaranteed a supply o oil
for ten vears?"

made for that reason" answ red
Tilford. 81 know the contract was
made for two years"

nies. the first to cut prices were the
Independent companies. and that there
We're no troubles made for the inde-
pendent companies except those which
arOse from natural causes. Mr.. TIL
ford explained that the reason why the
supply of crude oil had been cut down
IN sixteen Independents in the Pitts
burg field Just before the agreement
was made with the Standard, was be-
cause the oil supply in that district
was diminishing Mr.. Milburn devel-
oeed that the oil firm of Schofield,

Independent company. was not forced
into the Standards control but had
heen taken over after many sugges-
tions from the officers of Schofield.

 Taft.

The Constitutional league of the United States, an organization of col ored men, with many New Haven members, is in session at Boston. Ac- cording to the Boston Transcript, At torney Crawford of this city is taking a prominent part. The Transcript says:
 The most important report submit ted to-day was that of the department of civil rights, which was read by the chairman, George W. Crawford, Yale graduate and well-known lawyer of New Haven. MT. Crawford outlined his departments work for the coming year and told of what already had been done. He submitted some very interesting figures which show that in several states of the north the negro voters, If successfully controll- ed, could hold the balance of political power. For instance, in Massachusetts, which has sixteen electoral votes, and which gave 302SS republican plurality for Guild for governor last year, there are 10,456 negroes entitled to vote MT. Crawford claimed that if these ne, groes voted together in year when the contest was fairly close they would be able to exert control of the state. The statistics for the other states follow

William F. Costello, president of the Trades Council and Joseph J. Reilly, its secretary, said yesterday that they believed the athletic games would call out between 5000 and 5000 people to4 the ball grounds at savin Rock.
 There will be no parade here Labor day.
 There has been no parade typical of the industrial side of New Haven in eight years. The representatives of the Trades Council agree that it is the desire of the majority of the men to participate in street pageant, with banners and floats, and music filling the air, but a spectacle of this nature has. been rendered impossible because of the athletic events which are run off in the morning.
 There are about fifty-eight unions in New Haven. All participate in the Labor day "doings." Forty of this number are enrolled under the ban ner of the American Federation of Labor. The other unions are not yet affiliated with the Central Labor union or Trades Council, although | they cooperate with the Trades Coun- cil in the fitting observation of the day The trades council is the main New Haven body representing the F. of L., of which Samuel Gompers is the head.
 The socialists have planned rous- ing picnic for Labor day. It will be at l Sehuetzen park. Prizes valued at $50 will be distributed among the winners of the athletic events. There will be an illumination in the evening.
 STREET CAR SERVICE.
 The Connecticut company has com pleted all arrangements for handling the big Labor day crowds. Superin- tendent Judge has posted his schedule in the car barns and also arranged for an extra force of starters and car crews.
