FINGER MARKS N
BLOOD CLEW TO
W0MANS SLAYER
New York Sleuths Have Only
Red Prints to Aid in Solving
GrewsOme Murder.

NEW YORK, Dee. 12.-With only the
bloody fngerprints of the murderer to
assist them, the police today are scour-
ing the city for some trace of the man
who committed what now appears TO
be one of The most baifiing crimes I'm
the city's criminn history.
His victim, the young oma whose
body was found last night in a pad
locked and barricaded apartment at 1877
East Eleventh street, has not yet been
identified, and a thorough search of the
rooms had revealed nothing which will
aid the police in their task.
Every distinguishing mark had been
removed from the woman's clothing,
and pictures had been cut from their
frames and burned, together with sew
eral pieces Of paper which nay have
borne addresses. On every hand there
was to be found evidence Of the crafty
care used by the murderer to battle
pursuit.

JERSEY YACHT LIBELED
FOR A DEBT OF $3.50.
Name of Craft Either "SteIla B"
or "BteEia So

The yacht named stella b." or
"Btella s. which is moored at Peter
Kroll's boathouse, at the foot of Chcs-
Der avenue, has been iibeled for a debt
OF $3.50. The BOAT was stored at the
b%oathouse about WI months ago by a
man named A. j. Whitley, whom Mr.,
Kroll thinks lives in Jersey City. The
owner has not been around since then.
1t was at first thought that this was
the boa that has been missing from
Jersey City for three months. The
name of the craft has evidently been
changed from stella b" to "Btella s"
by tr%ansposing the metal letters.

Valuable Stock Certificates Dis
covered in Attic of John

PAPERS ARE DISCOVERED
BY MERE ACCIDENT
Estate Held Up Pending Deter

Documents.

Experts today practically completed
listing the musty old bonds and stock
certificates found In the attic of the
late John w. Russell's home, in East
Orange, by his housekeepr, Mary
Clavin, who is executrix of the will,
and it is believed that many of the
companies In which Russell owned
stock have been absorbed by the Stand
ard Oil Company. and that the stock
certificates have considerable value.
Many of these companies were or
gained and Incorporated just after the
Civil War, during the oil excitement.
No one, not even Mary Clavin, knew
of the existence of these securities until
on November 25, when Miss Clavin was
cleaning up the garnet and came upon
an old trunk, which fell apart as she
moved it about, and out tumbled the
old, yellow securities.
A few days later, when she was
called as a witness in the suit of jose
phine Raphael, of New York, who had
d $4,000 judgment against the estate,
Miss Clavin casually mentioned the
finding of the treasure-laden trunk, and
the hearing was adjourned so that the
value of the securities might BIZ deter
mined.
Following are some of the companies
and the face value of the stock certia

Des Moines, Aug. 1O.-A sensation
has been caused here by the exam
nations and statements of DR.. w. A.
Guild regarding the Des Moines water
supply. He declares 1t is reeking with
deposits of dead animal life and that
it is dangerous to the health of the
public. DR.. Guild has been conducting
a quiet investigation with water
strainers in different parts Of the city.
He will go before the city council
this week and present his evidence
The fnefnbers OF the council are dis
posed to laugh at the idea and to
minimize the seriousness of DIR.
Gould's statements. Publication of Dr.
Guilds statements, however, caused a
great deal of interest all over the city.
DR.. Guild says that he had had his
twelve strainers placed in as many
different homes In Des Moines, and
that he is now collecting them and
will take them before the city coun-
ell early this week. BY exhibiting
them to the members Of the council
DR.. Guild hopes to convince them
that Des Moines water is unfit for
drinking purposes. Nearly all of the
strainers have been gathered in, ana
Dr. Guild declared yesterday that the
deposits could be seen with the naked
eye. Upon examining them, micro
scopically, DR.. Guild reported that
diminutive bugs. insects and worms
are plainly visible.
DR. Guild will contend before the
council that the water mains OF Des
Moines are not properly flushed. Be-
fore he appears before them the ply
sician will also examine the deposits
for disease germs and submit his find-
ings to the council. He declares that
much of the disease in Des Moines IS
caused by the impure aqua pura taken
from the classic Coon.
Charles S. Denman. superintendent
Of the Des Moines Water company,
emphatically denounces Dr. Guilds
statements as absurd, saying that Des
Moines is Blessed with the purest wat
err OF almost any city in the country.

There is a tradition that the bronze
mule which has assisted the Iowa

sumes a very bright and sparkling

course, may be due to the fact that
on being dragged out of the closet at
the opening OF a campaign the chair

ton goes on to say that as the cam
