MURDERER CAUGHT
Man Who FrightfuIIy Cut Up
Body of Chicago Boy
Is in Custody.
THE BOY WAS A SYRIAN.

Chicago, Aug 7.-Following the
Identification of the remains of a boy
found in Mud lake and adjacent ponds
and waterways as that of Tuffa Shi-
shin, Syrian, the police last night ar
rested Syrian, Joseph Hasson, on
the charge of murder.
Hasson was arrested at No. 102
Mather street. and in his room the
police found a blood-stained garment,
several bloodstained saws and an ak.
The body gave every indication of hav-
struments.
The police charge that Hasson is a
moral pervert.
Boys Found The Remains.
Developments have came rapidly in
this case. On Tuesday the detectives
were called to Mud lake, pond which
formed In the old bed of branch of
the Chicago river when the waters OF
the river were diverted to the drain
age canal. Here boys had discover.
ed the lower limbs of a human being
severed at the hips and at the knee
and with one Of the feet missing.
The grewsome relics when found
were wrapped in an old shirt and a
newspaper Of July 90
The victim was then supposed to
have been a woman. but the discov
cry of the torso the following day in
the drainage canal, a mile distance
upset this supposition. Every Greek
detective in the city was put to work
on the case in the belief that a Greek
lad, a victim of the padrone system
had been summarily dealt with By
some countryman against whom the
boy had testified in the recent cases
brought by the government to wipe
out the Greek slave" trade.

THE "WANT ADJ

Michigan farmer sent a curious
want ad to one of the Chicago papers
yesterday with the following letter:
"Gentlemen-You seem to be able
to get everything you advertise for.
We want Rain.

Absurd as is this pleasantly, the
same paper gives another account of a
man who was saved from suicide by a
want adj His former employer and
the paper itself looked into the mat
ter and set him on his feet again.
From these two illustrations in one
day as we'll as the thousands of other
cases which are going on every day all
over the country the value of the want
ad in any paper is demonstrated. The
larger the paper the more service does
the want ad do.

there is none more important. Here

He reproduces a picture of one Of his

to take up elephant hunting as bust

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. THE story
Of exceeding great friction between
President James McCrea, of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and some of his di-
rectors has been practically confirm
ed here The tale told in Pittsburg
is that the directorate OF the Penn
sylvania some time since suggested
that McCrea "losen up" that he set
all the workmen who were laid off
some time since back to work on the
road, giving at least the air of pros
perity. This President McCrea has
positively refused to do saying that
conditions do not warrant this. In ad-
dition. 1t is said, McCrea has just COM
pleted arrangements for laying off 4,
600 more men between Pittsburg and
Philadelphia within the next few days.
Some of the directors of the Penn
sylvania accuse McCrea of being care
less of the interests of the corpora
ton, seeking to assist the democratic
party at the coming election by max
ing matters on the great Pennsylvania
railroad appear worse than they real
ly are. On the other hand, friends
OF McCrea accuse the Pennsylvania
directorate of seeking to further the
interests Of the republican party at
this time by making a false showing

the road does not think exists. This

OUR ROAD LAWS.

Nhile we are interested in good
our road laws. We have the most an
tiquated system which could be i'm
agined. The law now prescribes that
there shall be road supervisor and
that the able bodied men of the COM
munity must work on the roads for a
certain number of days year.
This system dates back to the mid
die ages and before when the Lord of
the Manor was the supervisor and the
workmen were the peasants of the
mark. The chief defects are that such
work must necessarily be a process of
patching up rather than of building.
The process of patching has always
been more expensive in the long run.
This dumping of load of gravel in a
mud hole is alright for time, but it
does not do any permanent good.
In many states there is up-to-date
legislation on the subject which pro-
vides that the work shall be under the
direction of the State Geologist and
that regular workmen shall be EN-.
ployed
Curiously enough the forces Of or,
ganized labor have never objected to
the employment of convicts on roads,
The convict is the most available
workman for continuous work that we
have. Inasmuch as most of the cost
OF road lies in the manual labor. we
could reduce the cost of our roads
and at the same time really build
continuous highways-great avenues
for traffic rather than township
roads" by working prisoners upon
them.

IL of going from one town to another
by road, the great difference between
a highway such as the National Road
and the small roads which terminate

Any credit or blame in that matter
cannot in any way be laid to Secretary
Taft. AS a matter of fact Mr.. Taft

mark that Of all the men l have ever

1T is to his everlasting credit that
he has never even to his most intimate
friends limited that the responsibility

Secretary Wright, in not having
the order revoked, is just as RESPONSE

is none who will not say it would be
absurd to place any responsibility on
General Wright.

The President says he has not re-
instated the West Point cadets who
were discharged for hazing Some
how the impression has gone abroad
that he disapproved of the finding in
their case, but he says he has not
reached any decision, and conse
quently they are out. They ought to
remain out, for Congress has decreed
against hazing, and public sentiment
is opposed to it. The President
should not interfere in the course OF
justice, for although the hazing was
not as serious as some cases have
been, it was an infraction Of the law
and if permitted to go unpublished, q
precedent will be established that
cannot be easily overcome.
