Woman's Torso Found In Trunk.


The most horrible and brutal crime
committed in Greater Boston since the
death of Susan Geary, chorus girl,
four years ago, and one much resem-
bling 1t, was disclosed by the discovery
on Thursday of the torso Of Mrs. Hon.
orah Jordan. an actress, aged % years,
Of Somerville, in a trunk in a board
Ing house ut Hancock street, on Bea-
con Hill, Boston. Later the head
and bones of the limbs were found in
the furnace of the Jordan home at
Somerville, and the scalp, hair and
other grewsome remains were taken
from the kitchen range of the house.
Chester Jordan, aged 30 years, an
actor, of 500 Medford street, Somer-
vile, is held by the police charged
with the murder and, according to the
officers, he made a full and complete
confession of the crime.
According to Jordan's alleged con-
ression he accidentally killed his wife
Tuesday night in a quarrel at their
home, and becoming desperate over
what he had done, went out and bought
n butchers knife and hacksaw, cut up
the body and placed the torso In a
trunk. He then planned to take the
steamer Harvard, which was scheduled
to leave Wednesday night for New
York, and throw the parts of the body
overheard. The fact that the Harvard
was laid off owing to an accident dis
arranged his plans and he was obliged
to hire a hackman to take the trunk
to a Boston boarding house to await
more favorable opportunity.

SMUGGLING ARMS INTO CHINA.
Discovery by yviceroy Chang Leads to

That small arms in large quantities
have been smuggled into the interior Of
China from San Francisco has come to
the notice Of the imperial consul at that
port, Sun SEE zee, The information
came in the form OF an official notice
from Viceroy Chang OF Canton. An in

Lee Ming Fa, was arrested in that city
with a trunk load Of small arms. and

possession. He was set free because Of
his age and the influence behind him. An
edict was issued soon afterward by the
yiceroy making ii capital offense to
import weapons Of any kind into the
interior Of China. Notices concerning the
edict are posted in the Chinese quarter

MAY TRANSPLANT VITAL ORGANS.
Dog and Other Animals to Help Man to
Overcome Disease.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Science will soon
solve the problem Of transferring sound
vital organs from the lower animals to
man, according to Prof. Simon Flexner
OF the Rockefeller Institute for medical
research.
The prophecy was made in paper
by Prot Flexner, read by DR.. Ludwig
l4ektoon before the physiological section
Of the American association for the
Advancement Of Science.
4The technical surgical operation in-
volved in this kind OF experimentation
on account OF the necessity of maintain
ing mimpaired circulation Of the blood
is great but not impossible Of achieve
ment, and no effort should be spared TO
reach this goal" says Prof. Fleyner.
aThe functions of transplanted organs
are maintained by the method Of the
preservation Of the circulation. Hence it
now becomes possible to place sensitive
and important viscera under new cx-
detrimental conditions which may aim to
resemble or produce those believed to
give rise 20 common pathological states
in man and to observe the Effects over
a long period Of time.
st il a matter OF no small significance
that arteries can be transpanted sue
fssfully from dog to cat and vice versa
and from man to dog, and isat keeping
extipated arteries under sterile c5ndi
lions at refrigerator temperature Of -
or 80 degrees or even longer does not in
terfere with the results Of transplant

"Tnere IS something eNtre aely suhtls

transportation within one race, since it
may be determined by such minor far
tors as environment and mere quality

Denver There We're several ex-sol
dlers of the civil war in Denver. one
of them, Striker who had served with
Frost. The two made up a party con
sisting Of young veterans and three
other picked men, six IN all. and, TAX
ing with them certain apparel they
intended to use, rode out in the early
morning to Golden City.
At noon the Denver coach came
along, and the passengers allghted for
dinner. When they We're about TO re-
enter the coach Frost asked them to
remain awhile at the tavern, since he
had a party OF friends with him who
wished to take short ride. The pas
sengers, consisting of both men and
women, demurred. but the riding party
were well armed. and they stepped
aboard, each with his baggage, bum
die done up in brown paper.
AS soon as they were out OF sight
from the tavern halt was made, the
driver Informed that they expected the
coach TO be robbed, and four Of the
men, opening their bundles. put on
women's attire. Then the coach was
driven on. Frost, dressed as a wom-
an. sat next the door. a Derringer pis-
toll ia each hand. Striker sat next the
other door with two revolyers conceal
ed under the folds of the dress he
wore. All had their arms in some
way concealed.
They had gone about four miles and
were ascending q rise when they heard
the word HAITI followed BIZ Throw
up your handse' The coach came to a
dead stop, and two masked men open
ed the deor, ordering the passengers
to allght. Supposlng Frost to be a
woman. each robber took hold of an
arm to help him. His arms were
crossed over his chest under his cloak.
Suddenly there was a double report,
and the two robbers fell dead.
Scarcely had Frost begun his exit
from the coach when woman emerged
from the other door followed 10 rapid
succession by two ether women and
two men, an Of whom opened fire on
six men who were standing uneoneern-
ed in the road. some with their hands
In their pockets, others with folded
arms. -Four of them were shot down
before they could draw their weapons,
and two others while they were deliy-
ering their fire, which on account of
their surprise was not effective,
OF the two Frost had killed witt his
Derringers one was Bugbee. The sight
of him lying cold in death, Frost's
knowledge that he had killed him,
seemed in a measure to wash away a
brooding that had been with him ever
since he had made HIS resolution while
standing beside Mary Hamblin's grave.
He looked up and, seeing his women
dressed men dancing around the fallen
robbers, for the first time in months
smiled
The ambushers re-entered the coach
and drove back to the tavern. When
it was learned that they had not only
saved the passengers from being rob

gang, they were feted as heroes and
invited to partake 81 the best in the
