HAZEL DREW MYSTERY.
AutAorstie. Baased at Murder of .

Troy. N. Y.. July i4.-out of a maze of theories which confront the author ities who are trying to lift the cloud of mystery surrounding the death of l9-year-old Hazei l.. Drew whose body was found in an old mill pond near AverilI Park last Sunday. nothing tam gihle developed today that points to the murderer or the motive for the crime.
 No arrests have been made, although the police have closely questioned sev- eral persons whom 1t was thought might throw some light on the case.
 That the girl was assaulted before she was murdered and thrown into the pond Is the generally accepted theory. but the body was In such a state of de- composition when found as to make it practically impossible for the physi- clans to determine that fact.
 Theories multiply as to the motive for the murder. The girl was not known to have had an enemy or q sweetheart. and the bafied authorities today were even willing to take up the possibility of suicide. The phyzicians' statement. however. to the effect that there was no water in the lungs is given as proof that the girl was dead before the body was thrown into the pond.

JORDAN DROPS DEAD
FORMER COMPTROLLER OF EaUIT'
 ABLE SOCIETY.
suceumbs in Crowded Wall Street Sta- ton of Subway and Much Ex. eitement as Caused--Was
 Under Indictment.

New York. July 14.--Thomas D. Jordan. formerly Comptroller of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, drop ped dead of heart disease today in the Wall Street Station of the subway.
 His death was attended by tragic circum stances. Scores of persons saw him fall, among them pr. F. c. Wells, friend pr. Wells hurried to the side Of his stricken friend. but he saw immediately that MT. Jordan was dead.
 Mir. Jordan had parted from his son, Frank B. Jordan, only q moment be- fore, and a messenger overlook the young man on the street and informed him Of his fathers death. The son was overcome With grief.
 It was in the course of the Arm strong committee insurance fnvestiga- ton that Mir. Jordan's name came prominent before the public. It was brought out then that Comp troller Jordan had secured loans ag- gregating sss5.000 for himself and James W. Alexander, former President Of the Equitable. from the Mercantile Trust Company, and that these loans had been covered up on the books of the company. This s6s5.0o0 came to be known as the yellow dog" fund.
 Adesire was expressed by the Arm strong committee that Mir. Jordan ap- pear before the committee and ex- plain his financial management of the Equitable, but the process servers were unable to locate Mir. Jordan. His son was called before the committee and asked to tell where his father was. The young man said he did not know.
 It was after the Armstrong investi- gation had come to a close that Nil: Jordan put in an appearance. It was then learned that he had been In Eu- rope. As resula of the disclosures made before the Armstrong committee, the grand jury found eighteen indict- ments for forgery and one for per- jury against Mir. Jordan. Only recent Iy Mir. Jordan appeared before Justice Goff to plead not guilty to the indict- ments. His trial was set for the fall.
 Since his indictment, Mr. Jordan had remained before the public eye as little as possible. While he was active in financial circles, his name seldom ap- peared in print.
 Mr. Jordan had come to New York today from his home in Englewood, N. J., to attend directors meeting of the Pasoe Improvement Company. of which he was Vice-President, when he was stricken. As soon as Mir. Jor- aan's son had been Summoned, the body was taken to the police station. There 1t was viewed by Coroner's Physician Weston, who said that death was due to heart failure or apoplexy. and that an autopsy was not necessary. He gave permission for the removal of the body, and Frank Jordan had the body of his father taken to Englewood.
 MT. Jordan leaves his widow, his son Frank and daughter, Mrs. Ed ward D. O'Brien, who married the son of Judge Dennis O'Brien.

ISABEL SHANGER.
You say you re temperance man, my
friend,
That you're doing the best you can
To teach the fearful effects of drink,
And to save your fellow man;
But how do you vote
On election day,
When alone with God and a lead pencil?
You say you have bSgst manly boys
of yUurown
You're as anxious as YOU can be
To see them grow up into noble men,
From saloon and liquor curse free;
But how do you vote
On election day,
When alone with God and lead pencil?
You say you love this country of ours,
That you re doing your best each dav
To Danish the fearful curse of drink
That is eating her life away
But how do you vote
On election day.
When alone with God and lead pencil?
To say does not count very much in this
land,
To vote is the thing that will tell
To Danish saloons and the curse of strong
drink,
And to save your brother from hell,
Ask God how to vote
On election day,
When alone with Him and lead pencil?
