told in yesterdays EVENING STAR
County Physician Elliott thinks that
the woman was strangled to death
and the police are working on tha,
| theory.
Unless the body of the woman Il
claimed by tomorrow afternoon It will
be buried and no autopsy viii be per-
formed. DIR. Elliott called at Mullins
morgue this morning prepared to be-
gin an autopsy, but after seeing the
protruding tongue and, the deep cuts
in the throat, which bore every evil
dence of having been made by a string
or cord, he was satisfied that death
could have come to the woman in no
other way than by strangulation.
small hole was observed inc the
chest of the woman, and 1t was at
first thought to be a bullet mark, but
~. t1iiiVlt sdad tildL IL was apparently
caused by one of the teeth of the rake
in uncovering the corpse. This elimi-
mated the suspicion that she had been
shot to death.
Plainclothes Policeman Burns. of the
Third Precinct station, with Detective
Sergeant Templeton, of the detective
bureau. are working on the case. The
police feel certain that the woman was
strangled to death and that the body
was carted to the dump during the
night,
This theory was strengthened last
night when two men called at the Third
Precinct station house and said they
had noticed a black horse attached to
a dark painted covered wagon in the
vicinity of the place where the body
was found. The police are endeavoring
to locate the drivers or the two men
who were in this wagon.
Foreman Felz is on duty every day
at the dumps and is convinced that the
body could not have been taken there
during the day. Felz says that he
went to the place where the body was
found on Saturday and he did not see
it at that time.
Two loads of refuse were dumped
near the place where the body was
found yesterday. The italian women
went over to the place and while look
ing over the refuse discovered an arm
protruding from pile of straw and
ashes.

Essex aud Hudson Leaders
in Joel Parker Party
Talk GOvernOrShip.

With their spotless white hats gleam-
Ing in the bright sunlight and to the
inspiring tunes of one of voss's quick
step marches the Joel Parkers marched
down Broad street early this morning
on their way to Port-au-Peck, where
the annual outing of that organization
is to be held. The Parkers were in
fine fettle. They marched to the Cen
trail Railroad station.
1t was the biggest turnout of the
Democratic hosts for many years Men
prominent in professional and mercan-
tile life were In line, and at the sta
tion a multitude thronged the waiting
rooms and platform long before the
marching line arrived. AT the City
Hall the parade was informally -e-
viewed by Mayor Jacob Haussling and
other city officials.
The trip to the seashore was by
roundabout journey. Extra coaches
were attached to regular New York
trains and the Parkers gathered in the
Central station in Jersey City, where
they met big delegation of the Robert
Davis Association, of Hudson County,
including Mr.. Davis, Robert Hudspeth,
chairman of the Hudson County Demo-
cnatic Committee. and other invited
guests. From Jersey City the Parlsers
went aboard one of the Central Rail-
road ferryboats to New York. where
they reformed and marched to the pier
of the Sandy Hook boat.
The Parkers sailed down the bay in
the fast Monmouth TO Atlantic High
lands. from whence they will go to
Long Branch by train and to Pleasure
Bay by trolley.
The outing of the Parkers this year
bids fair to pass into history as one
of the most important 1t has ever held.
Besides Robert Davis, Mr.. Hudspeth,

politicians of this and Hudson County,

New Figures Make Burling-
ton Theft Largest in His
tory Of Mail RObberies.
CHICAGO HAS GOOD CLEW
Bulky Package Mailed 10 Thai
City From Point Near Denver
Shortly After Robbery.
Every Postal Inspector in
West On Case.

OMAHA, Aug. 21.--The theft of three
pcstoff1ce pouches from the Burlington
fast mail between Denver i'd this city
Thursday night has proved to have
been the largest In the history of the
railway mail service. 1t is now said
that the total amount of money OBJ
tanned by the robbers reaches $3.50, 900.
Earlier estimates placed the amount of
cash at $25O,OO0. The railway postal
officials at Lincoln, Neb., deny that the
amount is as large as $750.0O0, but they
refuse to give any figures.
Today every postal inspector and
secret service men In the West is work
ing on the case. and, so far as can be
learned, they are all as much in the
dark as to how the valuable pouches
were taken from the mail car as they
were when the robbery was first dis
covered. 1t is the general impression
that the robbery was the work of pro-
fessionals who were In colluslon with
some one who knew that a large
amount of cash would be shipped by
registered mail from Denver on Thurs
day night, and kept In touch with the
particular pouches containing the
money until they were placed in the
mail car.
The heaviest loser is said to be a
Denver bank which shipped a large
amount of money in bills to Chicago
bank. Another of the missing pouches
was destined for this city. The third
pouch. destined for Lincoln, was empty
On Thursday night seven through
registered pouches were sent from the
Denver postoffice to the depot for the
Burlington fast mall. 1t was long after
dark when the train left the Denver
station. The pouches were receipted
for by the mail clerk on the train.
When the train was reaching McCook,
Neb., the checking up Of the registered
mail matter was begun and It was then
that the three pouches were missed.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The local police
are working on a clue in connection
with the robbery of three mail sacks
said to contain $25O,OOO and by some as
high as $750,000 on the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy Railroad between
Denver, Colorado and Oxford, Neb-
raska.
A bulky package, 1t is known, was
mailed to Chicago from a point near
Denver shortly after the robbery. The
police have the name of the man to
whom 1t was addressed. and claim that
he is such a person as would be chosen
as an intermediate for thieves. There
is nothing definite as yet in the story.
