NEW YORK. Feb. 20--.Two pack
ages containing parts Of tho -disnen9-
oered body OF man, were found this
morning In vacant lot at Rochesfer-'
ave. and Rutland road, Flatbush.
The detectives OF the Flatbush sta
ton believe they have a mystery on
tneir hands as deep as the Guldene
suppe murder or the barrel vicum'f
crime.
The two packages were found abui:t'

The boy ran all the way TO the Flat

MS ind and detectives were hurried
around to the lot.
The two bundles were carried back 10
the police station and there examined.
One look showed the police that q
murder had been committed.
FearfuIly Mutiiated.
One package contained the head
and trunk OF the body. The other
held the mans arms and legs. The
nose, cheeks and chin had been cut
on. probably with the intention of
destroying the chances OF identincs-
ton. There were three stab wounds
hi the right side OF the neck. A saw
had evidently been used in dismem-
bering the body.
The man Is described as having
been about 30 years old. five feet AZ
inches in height and having black
hair II Is thought he was an Italian.
In one package was found double
breasted black cloth coat and q waist
coat with a gray check.
From the manner in which the body
was dismembered 1t looked as IL the
Italian might be the victim OF another
Black Hand, or Mafia crime.

MENT OF ARTICLE s, FOR
WHICH HALLY OFFERS NEW
sEcTioN-MApE HARMLESS"

LANSING. Mich, Feb. 20.--The new
constitution, passed up to third read
ing last night. and five articles with
the preamble, were finally adopted this
morning without any changes, except
In article 5, TO which Delegate Hally
cfIefed y new section. providing for
the referendum on all bills passed by
the Legislature. on petition of per
cent OF the electors, TO the secretary
OF state, for submission to vote OF
the people. No such bill would be-
come law until sanctioned by q ma
jority vote.
Through Delegate Barbour. the petit
ton per cent was amended to make IL
10 and the fight was on to either kill,
or SO cripple II az to be useless. AZ
the end OF long tussle, the following
section was adopted. and is handed
out as a beautiful lemon TO the
people:
Section 40.---Any bill passed by
the Legislature and approved by the
governor, except emergency and
appropriation bills, may be re-
ferred by the Legislature to the
qualified electors for their approval
or disapproval and any bill so re-,
ferred shall not become a law un-
less majority OF the electors vot-
ing thereon shall approve thereof
Article B was amended, then passed
by 70 yeas to nays.
Municipal ownership was taken up
late last night. and the substitute un-
changed agreed to. II is now on third
reading.
Prohibs Fall
Prohibitionists made several at
tempts TO get that subject before the
convention, but failed utterly under
the rules, and abandoned the fight
for the present. at least.
No attempts have yet been made to
bring up the initiative and there seems
little hope for Its further hearing I'M
der the present application OF gag rule.
The plan seems TO be to choke OF all
further discussion ON reform meas
ures, and as on the final passage a
majority OF AZ is necessary. corpora
tion interests have the people by the
throat.
