cent Murder
LABORER FURNISHES CLUES
1t Now Seems That the Criminals
Who Murdered Woman and Then
Burn Her Body to Destroy Evil
dence viii be Caught.

NEW YORK, July 30.-That at least
two men are implicated in the murder
OF the unknown woman whose half
charred acid burned body found in
Williamsburg, Brooklyn, early yester-
day, was established today by the
police. A laborer saw covered wag-
on drive to the dump where the body
was found at dawn yesterday. Two
men got out and lifted out what
appeared to be an old mattress The
men piled a heap of brush on the
mattress and poured oil over it and
then set fire to the pile, Believing
that the mattress was destroyed be-
cause ii was infected the man avoided
the spot. There is but little doubt
that the mattress was the same one in
which the body OF the murdered wom-
an was concealed. This led to. the
discovery that the wagon was seen
BY several other persons. The police
now have minute description OF the
two men who were foreigners,
Another feature of the case is that
in an autopsy the physician discov-
cred that the throat was cut by some
one who is an expert in surgery. Be-
sides the incision in the woman's
throat, the skull was fractured and
the police believe that poison had also
been used, A general alarm has been
sent for Miss Mary Muskovitch and
her husband who has disappeared
Muskovitch and his wife left the
neighborhood Friday supposedly for
Stamford, Conn. Muskovitch return
ed Tuesday alone, it Is said.

Says Gompers, Regarding Him
Giving Labor Votes
He EXPECTED CRITICISM
President Gompers Says That Or
ganized Labor is Honest and In
telligent Enough to Choose Their
Own Party.

WASHINGTON, July S0-"The
report that | ever said that would or
would not deliver az labor vote to any
political party is a famous lie" said
Samuel Gompers today. Organized
labor is not only honest, but intelli-
gent enough to choose the party for
its support, which best represents its
interest" Gompers went on to say
that the enemies of organized labor
by spreading the lies and misrepre-
sentations may injure him personally
or even cause his dismissal as presi-
dent OF the American Federation OF
Labor, but that it would not effect
his course in battling for the prin-
ciples for which he stands. He said
that he fully expected that some
would disagree with him, and he
doesn't expect the labor world to ac-
cept his conclusions in every instance
He expected to be criticized, but did
not believe that the criticism would
be so unjust and contemplate,
Chairman Hitchcock of the repub
lican committee when asked as to the
truth of the report that personal
campaign was to be waged against
Gompers said Nothing Of the kind
has been arranged" ,"

Action Taken by Interstate Com
merce Commission Brings on
the Trouble
MEANS A NEW ROUTING
Railroads Have Claimed From the
First That They Could Not Comply
With it and Carry on Their Export
Trade Across the Pacific.

S~-S $4,000
Herald today says; The decision of
the trans-continental railroads to
abandon the export trade and large
proportion of the import trade has
aroused the Chicago Association OF
Commerce to make an investigation
of the subject.
The management of the association
has secured all Of the papers on file
before the interstate commission and
is making a careful examination of
the arguments advanced by the rail-
roads in support of their action. 1t
is possible that an investigation of
the association may result in an ap-
peal to the commission for rehear-
ing in the case or an appeal for aid in
preventing the railroads from going
out of that business on export busi-
ness without a moments delay. They
have frequently declared that the
commissions rule would put them out
of the export trade with the result Of
causing an immense loss to the for
eign trade of the nation.
This subject was discussed when
the case of the COSMOPOLITAN Ship
Building Company VS. the Hamburg
American Packet Co., was before the
commission for a hearing in which
was the consideration of this case that
gave rise to the rule which the trans
continental roads now declare is max
ing it impossible for them to continue;
complaint was made against the opera
ton of what was termed the baltic
Pool" which it was alleged controll-
ed land and water rates from inland
points in the United States to the
destination of shipments.
The commission asserted its inabil-
ity to control water rates, but insisted
on separation Of the inland rate to
the place OF export from the through
rate and applied to that portion Of
the rate the provisions of the law
making mandatory both publication
and notice Of changes of the rate. AS
the question was passed upon after
the most complete hearing and as
predictions were then made that it
would put the railroads out of the
export trade, it is not considered like
" that the commission will readily
reverse its rulings,
If the association should decide
that the railroads were justified, it is
possible that the commission will be
asked to change its ruling in the case!
On all sides yesterday enquiry pour
ed into the association with respect
to the matter and great surprise
was expressed that the railroads
should have taken such a remedial
action.
Some Of the inquiries from the Pa
ciRc Coast cities, where the shippers
will undoubtedly appeal to the COM
mission against the unreasonableness
of the newexport and import rates.
