Another story was to the effect that

Further light was thrown upon the
tragedy through u statement made by
DR. Boycc Of Avcrill Park, who assist

that in his opinion the girl had not

WOMAN IN BLACK"
New York Suicide Connected
with Philadelphia Poisoning.

New York, July 14.-The suicide by
cyanide Of potassium poisoning Of q
striktngly beautiful young woman in
Central park became strangely linked,
through police Investigation, with the
mystery OF the poisoning by cyanide
Of potassium Of Or. william II. Will
son Of Philadelphia.
The dead woman has not ret been
identified. The Philadelphia police
were convinced from description and
for other reasons that she is the wom-
an who, the Gay before DR.. Wilson's
death, called at his home, rang the
bell furiously and then left her card
with Mrs.. Bernard viarln, who lives
next to the Wilson home.
Coinci6ent with the death of the
mysterious woman came the news
from the Quaker City that the body OF
an unidentified man found floating IN
the Delaware river Is being held by
the authorities, who are inclined to the
theory that perhaps the man or woman
who sent the poisoned ale to DR.. Will
son committed suicide.
Should cyanide Of potassium be
found In the body Of the man taken
from the river further complications
In the great mystery would crop up.

LABOR LEGISLATION.

Republican Party Aims to Conserve In.
terests Of All tho People.
Various injunction bills wSre consid
cred In committee during both sessions
Of the Fifty-ninth and first session OF
the Sixtleth congresses. During the
first session Of the Fifty-ninth con
gress several bills were before the
judiciary committee. and hearings
were accorded and considered. 1t was
found, however, that the labor inter.
ssts Of the country could not agree
upon any one bill and that different
labor leaders were opposed to one or
the other bills under consideration.
Again, during the first session Of the
Slxtieth congress the judiciary com.
mittee Of the house gave more time
and attention to the various bills pre-
scented, but II was found that no bill
could be introduced that would be sat
isfactory to all the labor interests and
no bill upon which all members Of con-
gress could agree. This 30 called anti
injunction legislation Is by no means a
partisan matter. and 80 far neither
Democrats nor Republicans have been
able to agree among themselves to a
bill that would seem to satisfy all con-
cerned There Is no doubt. however,
that In the near future some bill will
be enacted into law, and when 1t Is It
will be found that 1t will provide pro-
lection for not only labor and capital,
but for the public as we'll. First 1t
must he constitutional, and then 1t
must he OF such nature that It will
not lead to disorder and riot. but will
conserve the best interests Of the peo-
pie at large and not be drawn in the
interest Of either capital or labor. but
for the good and protection Of all.
