SWAMP MYSTERY
GROWS DEEPER

New York. Jan. 2.--The mystery sur
rounding the murder of the woman In
red" Is as impenetrable seemingly as
when her nude body was discovered on
Christmas Day partially concealed in the
water and slime OF a forbidding pond near
Harrison, N. j.
Baffled at every turn, the detectives
have failed TO obtain a single clue to
lead to the identity Of the woman or her
slayer The identlfcationy OF the dead
woman by Mrs. Hattie Hull and Detec-
tive Darbell OF Orange, N. j., have COM
pletely collapsed and left the case more
puzzling than ever
Word was received from Philadelphia
that Agnes O'Keefe, whom Detective
Darbel believed the murdered woman
60 be, had bean found In that city Mrs.
Hulls identification is not credited by
the police.
The city council will offer reward
or $1,000 for the arrest and conviction
OF the slayer of the woman. In the hope
OF finding a new clue In the way of cloth
ing or effects, the pond I'm which the
corpse was found is 20 be drained.

CONVICTED DOUMA
MEMBERS TO APPEAL

st. Petersburg Jan. 2.-The 1e7 members
OF the first douma who were sentenced
TO three months imprisonment are to
carry their case before the senate. the
highest tribunal IN Russia. The defend
ants held a meeting yesterday and voted
warm appreciation OF the brilliant SER
vices or the counsel for the defence
The main argument besNse the senate
will be made by VI. Tcsienko. leader Of
the Moscow bar who has borne the brupt
OF the present trial. and the government,
which is dissatisfied with the conduct Of
the trial. Will be represented by the min
lister of justice IN person.
The verdict and the light sentence Of
three months Imprisonment came as n
pleasant surprise to the defendants and
the public, for IL had been feared that
the admission of joint responsibility by
all the ex-deputies in the dissemination
OF the Viborg manifesto presaged a sem
tence TO Incarceration for one or two
years.
The verdict did not contain any refer
ence 10 the loss of political rights, but
such loss inevitably follows according TO
the senate's Interpretation OF the electo-
raj law. Even the emperor is powerless
by amnesty TO re-endow the franchise
and the only salvation OF the convicted
men Hes In complete revision OF the
electoral law by the third douma.
The former deputies are taking the
verdict philosophically.

ton. They are married and lived In
Nova Scotia and had separated before
coming to this country. They had a
minor child Percy W.. who Is skill In
Nova Scotia and who has never been In
this country.
Mrs. Acker complained against her hus-
band in the Lynn court under statutes
sol of the acts OF 1906 charging him with
neglect of their minor child.
Acker's defence was that he had COM
mitted no offence as the child was q
minor and an alien, living without the
state.
The court holds that the purpose OF
the statutes is TO punish a husband or
father domiciled in this state who neg
lects a wife or child even though they
live outside the state.

NO INJUNCTION
FOR GEORGIA "WETS"

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. a.-The most notable
feature of Nhe first day OF prohibition
In Georgia was the refusal OF Judge w.
r. Newman in the United States circuit
court TO grant an injunction pending
litigation which would prevent the opera
ton OF the prohibition law.
Papers in the case were filed late Tues
day scn behalf of two breweries. one in
Chattanooga and the other In Cincinnati.
Jrdge Newman simply filed a memoran-
DUN reading as follows
After careful consideration an injunc-
ton pendate lite will not be granted.
This being true, II is unnecessary TO call
on the defendants to show cause"
Notwithstanding prediction that the
enforcement OF the law on the day of the
New Year. which is a recognized holiday
in all parts OF the state, would bring
about disturbances, there was not the
slightest disorder.
The saloon keepers in Alanta evidently
believe that the legal aspect or the stu
alton will not have the effect OF putting
them back into business for they were
busy ripping out fixtures and carting
their goods to storehouses or to railroads
for shipment to states where liquor can
be sold

BIRD STORE MANS
SHOT KILLS BURGLAR

New York, Jan. 2.-David Gasse. the
Williamsburg bird store man, shot dead
q burglar who entered his place of busl-
ness before daylight yesterday. He did
not know at the time his shot had taken
a life, for he had fired to avoid hurting
the intruder.
The noise of the shooting i'm the quiet
of the night brought the police OF the
Bushwick avenue station out on the ran.
A man who was lodging from house to
house and obviously attempting TO evade
notice was arrested.
While the policeman was making the
arrest Capt. Murphy and several of his
men were examining the bird store.
In the shop they found Gasse very
much excited. lie led them through the
hall and there they stumbled over the
form OF a stockily built man. The fash
OF a polcemans electric lamp showed a
blue trimmed bullet hole square in the
centre OF the forehead and, so far as
anybody could tell. the man was dead.
Surgeon Fenther, who was called from
ST. GATHERINGS hospital. said that the
man had been killed instantly.
So Policeman McNan was obliged 10 ar
rest Gasse on a charge of homicide. The
bird store man. who admitted the shoot
ing, was Mortified at the result. The po-
lice say that no blame Is attached TO him
and after a formal arraignment In po-
lice court he will probably be discharged.
