COLUMBIA LEAGUE

The fact that tbs Columbia League
did not play the games scheduled for

to misunders -anding about the

CHICAGO MURDER
BATTLES POLICE
City Is CanvaSSed Attempt
ing to Complete Identified
ton of Body.

CHICAGO. Aug. 6.-The police are
making city-Wide canvass, procuring
descriptions OF missing boys in an eff
fort TO identify the 5ody found In sec
ton in the Illinois and Michigan and
drainage canals at South Lawndale. The
victim OF this apparently atrociOus muir
der, which,, from the police standpoint.
has more puszling angles than any re-
cent crime, was about fourteen years
old, but complete identification seems
impossible until the hand Is found
Tramps may Have Done It.
There are indications that tramps
may have killed the boy, hacked the
body to pieces. and thrown It away.
though this theory is clouded by the
fact that a portion of a woman's body
was found with the torso yesterday az
ternOOn. The legs Of boy, both cut 10
two. and the right foot were found
IN the Illinois and Michigan canal on
Tuesday, and some OF the police are IN
clined to the belief that the whole may
have been the work OF medical students
COroners Physician Hunter discredtts
this theory because of the rough man
ner IN which the sections of the body
were severed and because the body was
so recently killed.
Crime a Recent One.
Again there is the possibility. the
officials say, Of some one evading the
payment OF funeral expenses by so dis
posing OF a corpse It Is impossible
to tell how long life had been extinct
before the cutting Was done. but that
the crime is OF recent date-is- proven by

the delegation They wanted the honor
to come to the State. As a result. when
the Iowa State convention was held a
few days after the national convention
the friends Of Cunlmins were IN complete
control they wrote the resolutions,
praised the governor TO the skies. took
full control Of the State organization.
and applauded the governor TO the echo
when he made an eloquent speech tell
ing them that he was as good Repub-
lican as any man. and would stump the
State for Senator Allison, who had just
beaten him.
The revolution IN Iowa opinion was
gaining headway at rapid rate and Cum
minis was looked upon as politically re-
habflitated once more. Then Senator
Alison died.
Thus Governor Cummins will go be-
fore the Legislature, whose pledge 20
Allison has been Cancelled, and ask II to
elect hin Senator. His ancient enemies
are sadly weakened by the injudicious
night they made against him at the
mense prestige which resulted from the
knowledge that the President and Taft
insisted on having him for second
place on the national ticket
All AspiTants for Senate.
Most Of the men who constituted the
opposition in the Iowa delegation at
Chicago were really aspirants for the
Senate-George D. Perkins, OF Sioux
City; Ernest Z. Hart. national COM
mitteeman; Major John F. Lacey, and
LATE Young, OF Des Moines. They
thought 10 preserve their own chances
by keeping Cummins down; instead,
they have turned the very trick which,
in the de- elOpment of affairs, makes
Cummins the almost certain successor
OF Allison.
Iowa Will have a bitter fight this fall,
unless peace IS somehow restored by
the intervention OF the national Repub-
hean leaders. II can only be restored
by these leaders bringing pressure to
bear which will force the opposition 10
quit and concede the SenatOrship TO
Cummins. II is believed they will be
able to do this, because they fear that
II they do no. there viii be danger OF
losing the State.
The fight on Cummins has been Bit
ter, blind and personal, and his enemies
are now believed 10 have pretty thor
oughly demonstrated this 10 the State
ana the country.
