HARRISON n. j., Jan. 3.--With the
Identification OF the red suit worn by the
Passaic river swamp murder victim as
identical as one worn by Mrs. Theodore
S. whitemore. OF Brooklyn. who disap-
peared Christmas day. the authorities to-
day declare they have productive in
formation. Whitemore. a motorman. could
not positively identify the body at the
morgue. calling attention to somo points
Of difference. but admitted general sim
ilarlty Other friends Of the missing wo-
man will view the body to-day.
The Whitemore theory. however, is dis
turbed by the temperance Of Mrs. Hat
tie Hun. who reiterates her Identification
Of the body as that OF her sister, Minnie
Jeanette CASTOR. who. she says. she saw
last IN Jersey City Christmas day. Cor
oner Bunnell to-day was inclined to be-
lieve there must be some truth in Mrs.
Hulls story in spite OF her variations.
The first trace Of escaping murderer
has come to light through evidence that
a man with asbadly scratched face passed
through Newark last riday morning. He
stopped at the Park Hotel cafe and the
bartender called attention to the scratches
which he said were Of little consequence.
He carried a paper bundle under his arm.
From his actions and movements the
police feel sure this was the murderer.
Divers are stiI at work in the river
seeking missing clothing but so far with
no success.

surrounds the strange case of Mrs.

York's aristocracy, to whose handsome

Mrs Roberts was in a serious conli-

Mrs. Roberts doctor. made a vigorous
effort to revive the woman.
Mrs Roberts lived with her small
son. Neighbors were unable to make
her acquaintance and seldom saw her
except driving. She seemed to he
wealthy. Her apartment is elaborately
furnished.7r .sf,
The coroner was called by DR.. Ben
Batf when he found her condition so
serious
The coroner said:
Mrs. Roberts took six strychniue
tablets. which Is an overdose. She is
said to have suffered from heart
disease. Her fingers are covered with
very valuabel rings and from papers in
her desk should judge that she has
been woman of large means"

President Roosevelt's earnest de-
sire that four battleships be provided
for at this session will not receive the
approval of the House committee on
naval affairs. While it has taken no
vote on this proposition, there is au-
thority for predicting that the COM
mittee will recommend the construc-
ton of but two of these battleships.
The warning of Chairman Tawney, of
the committee on appropriations, re-
garding the certainty of heavy def
icit and the prospect of decreased
revenues during the next fiscal year,
is having a tendency to compel the
party leaders to hold down the appro-
priations. 1t seems assured, however,
that the proposition to cut the pro-
posed battleships from four to two
will be strenuously opposed by the
democratic members.
