PARTS OF BODY ALONG TRACK
Discovery of DiabOlical Addition to
New York Criminal Annals
Is Made.

NEW YORK, June 23.-The finding of
parts of a human body scattered for miles
along the tracks of the Desbrosses street
trolley line today reveals what may be
dialolical addition 10 New York's crime
annals. The hands were found where the
line crosses the Williamsburg bridge and the
legs at the Desbrosses street ferry In Man
haitian, over four miles away, while the
muntilated torso was picked up on the
bridge over Kent avenue. So disfigured
were the face and body there was no
means of Identification.
The police were in doubt today whether
the victim was accidentally struck and cut
to pieces by a trolley car on the Williams
burg bridge or was murdered. one theory
is that the man was murdered and then
placed on the tracks on the Williamsburg
bridge so that the body would be mutilated
beyond recognition and thus cover up the
crime. The only clue TO the identity of the
victim is that he had black hair and was
of athletic build
The tragedy was not discovered until a
trolley car on the Desbrosses line was
stalled at the ferry and inspection revealed
that the parts of a human body were
wound around the gearing.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 23.-American ves-
sells will hereafter be excluded from the
coasting trade of Canada. For some years
the coasting laws Of Canada have been sus-
pended so far as the Pacific coast is con-
cerned, owing to the fact that there was
not enough Canadian and British traffic TO
fill requirements, American boats have
done a large and profitable business be-
tween Seattle and Nome, carrying between
such ports at Vancouver, Victoria and
skagway. 1t has been decided by the gov
ernment that there is enough British and
Canadian tonnage on the coast to look
after the trade and the same coasting reg
ulation has been put into force for the
Pacific coast as applies to the Atlantic.
After August ! Canadian goods cannot be
carried in bond from an American port on
the Pacific to a Canadian port unless the
water carriage is by Canadian or Brit
