one MURDER CLUE
POLICE FIND LETTER ON
STATEN ISLAND VICTIM.
It Was From italy and Was From Wife
of One Belarro to Her Husband,
Blackmail Possible Motive.

ST. GEORGE, s. l.. Jan. 4-Staten Island
has a murder, the victim of which is uni
IDENTIFIED, the motive unexplained and
New Jersey swamp mystery.
In this case 1t is not a woman who has
been killed, but a man, evidently an Ital-
ian, who may have been done TO death by
a gang of blackmailers, or, again, the
man may have been killed in revenge.
Perhaps he gave information against a
band Of malefactors which was of value to
the police.
A single cline the police have. In a
pocket of the murdered mans clothing
was found a letter written by Philippine
Belarro TO her husband in this country.
1t was dated December o. The writer
speaks of a money order which she says
she has not received from her husband,
tells him that his daughter is well and
asks him whether he is prospecting in
America.
This letter may help the police in estab-
fishing the identity of the dead man as
Belarro.
The body Of the Italian was found Thurs
day morning when the first morning
train for Tottenville from st. George ran
over 1t as it lay across the tracks 1000
feet from the Centre street crossing. AT
first the case was accepted by the police
as one of simple accident. In the after
noon Coroner's Physician Mord examined
the body and discovered wounds which
the train had not made. Across the neck
from ear to ear was a cash, there were
five sharp cuts on the chin and a number
ON the forehead.
Or. Mord reported that in his opinion
the man had been murdered and his body
placed on the railroad tracks. Then the
police searched every foot of the ground
for a long distance up and Town the rail-
road tracks.
Two hundred feet from the body they
came upon n pool of blood between the
rails, and near it they found an open
razor. A few yards further on a pen
knife, closed, was found beside the tracks.
There were no indications that these had
been used In the murder, and the police
believe that they fell from the mans
pockets. probably as his body was car
ried to the spot where it was laid on the
tracks.
Two men at least carried the victim.
DR.. Mord thought the man had been
dead several hours before the train struck
him. The theory of robbery was disposed
Of when the police found the sum of 80
In the mans pockets. There were no
papers or letters except the letter from
the woman In Italy.

treated many persons. Grip is supposed 10
be a germ disease. It is not the grip
doctors fear so much, but what may fol-
low 1t, such as pneumonia and lung COM
plants and also throat diseases. People
cannot be foo careful after recovery from
an acute attack of grip, especially gastric
grip and nervous grip"
DR.. Frederick A. Vaudeville said: "The
disease that has kept doctors very busy
since early in December is certainly the
grip. and / have had some very acute cases.
1t is a germ disease and the germs are de-
veloped or decreased by weather condi-
tons. The grip differs considerably in
form from the cases I treated in each year
since the disease first came to our city.
It has changed in form every year, and
1t differs in different localities and per-
sons are affected differently.
Il was not worried by the grip when my
patient had 1t. but 1t is the aftermath
which may follow the grip that l watched
for, as all doctors do, for when the system
Is run down by the grip, especially il a
person had nervous grip, pneumonia may
be quickly contracted and other diseases
also, such as neuralgia, kinney and stom-
ech complaints and rheumatism. Grip is
highly contagious. 1t sometimes affects
the spine severely and seriously"
Dr.. Henry A. Towle said that nearly all
his cases OF grip were treated in time and
the patients were out in two or three days.
But some persons neglected severe colds,
and when they had medical treatment they
had a very acute case of the grip. AS a
rule, the grip vas mild this season.
DR.. Robert ]. Donnelly said he had many
grip patients west of High street and In
Roseville. but he had only a few severe
eases, nearly all his patients recovering in
two to four days. But there were a great
many cases over three weeks in the Sixth,
Seventh and Eleventh wards. He said
the disease was surely the grip, but in a
very mild form.

MAY ASK CARNEGIE TO
ERECT MODEL TENEMENTS.
Suggestion That They Be Erected on
East Side, and Millionaire May
Again Be Approached.

NEW YORK, Jan. Am attempt to
interest Andrew Carnegie in model
tenements in New York is one of the
results of the rent strike which has
been on for several days. 1t has been
proposed that the city purchase a block
or two in the thickly ~congested East
Side and there build modern tenements
which would be rented at a low price.
There seems to be no prospect of the
city being able to do this, at the present
at least, so leaders in the strike move
ment will try to get MI. Carnegie to
erect the buildings. 1t is stated that
he was approached once before on the
subject, but said that he thought it
was a matter for the city to deal with
rather than a private person.

Be very careful in dressing;
neither too light nor too heavy.
Be governed by conditions of
weather.
Keep in the best possible phys
ical condition.
Be moderate in eating and in
drinking. and take all the rest

Keep away from persons affect

Kissing is one of the most COM

II you feel an attack of grip
coming on, don't try to work,
but go home and to bed and call
a doetor al once.
Don't try to dose yourself, and
pin little faith to old family rem
edies or patent medicines.
II you desire to be especially
careful. take a cold sponge bath,
followed with an alcohol rub,
every morning.
Wear wraps whenever in the

damp.
Be careful to discard wraps
and rubbers Immediately upon
