any statement whatever regarding the
matter. and the only member Of the

THE BOWERS TRAGEDY.
Body of Man Supposed to Be Nc
Pherson Reported Found.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
HAGERSTOWN. Md. February IL
The body of man supposed to be that of
Tom Mcpherson of Hagerstown. strongly
suspected of the murder of his sister. Mrs.
Jane Bowers. at Pleasant Walk, last Fri
day night, was found today at the foot
of South mountain, near the village of
Smoketown, this county. The body, which
was frozen stiff, was lying along a wire
fence and was discovered by John Rowe,
who was driving to the village. From
the description telephoned to Hagerstown,
the officers here are satisfied that the
body is that of Mcpherson.
Justice Hoffman, in the capacity of cor
oner, and officer Shafer of Hagerstown.
left at noon by trolley for the place where
the body was found. 1t had been the
theory Of the local officers from the start
that If Mcpherson murdered his sister he
must have been crazy at the time. and in
that condition took to the mountains and
perished from exposure.
If the body proves to be that of Nc
Pherson it will mark the closing chapter
of one of the most fiendish crimes ever
committed in this section of the state.
The body of Mrs. Bowers was literally
chopped to pieces by her assailant.

FoRAKER'S FIGHT.
Determined to Encompass the Defeat
of Representative Burton.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, February 1I-Start-
ling developments in the Foraker-Taft
fight in Ohio came today in the decIara-
tion Of one of Foraker's lieutenants here
that Foraker is determined to defeat
Representative Theodore Burton of
Cleveland for reelection
That is the main reason why Foraker
has a ticket in the field today at CIeve-
land at the primaries. Cleveland prac-
tically is the only place in the state
with the exception of Knox and Scioto
counties. where Foraker is making a
fight to secure delegates to the state
convention to be held here March to
select delegates at large to the republi-
can national convention. Other report is
that Foraker himself is coming here
March to the state convention and will
ask to address the convention. hoping
that his elOquence will take the dele
gates off their feet as it did at the Day-
ton convention, and thus give him con-
troll.
In only thirty-six of the eighty-eight
counties of the state are they voting to-
day for delegates to the state convention
because Of local conditions. and in only
three Is there active opposition to Taft, viz:
Cuyahoga. Scioto and Knox. In fifty-two
Of the counties the primaries today are
only formality. no actual voting TAX
ing place, there being but one list Of dele
gates in the field and this list will be
certified as having been duly elected. They
are all Taft men. There are two tickets
IN Lucas fToledO) county, but both are
Taft tickets, the fight there being purely
a local one
The supreme court today handed down
a decision In the Cuyahoga comfy case
The decision is in favor of the Taft fac
ton. The conrt upholds the judgment
d. the circuit court and also that of the
common pleas court and says briefly in its
decision that the Judgment is affirmed
the board of deputy supervisors of cleo
tions being without authority to ignore

Last Tribute to Carlos.
LISBON, February 11.-There was al
most a riot yesterday afternoon OH the
part of the populace to get into the ca

and Crown Prince Luiz were lying In
state. The crowd waiting outside for a
chance to get last sight of the mur-
dered king and his son was SO great that

the beginning of the ceremonies of the
final interment.
1t is estimated that no less than 10000
people were striving at one time to make
their way into the cathedral The police
and the gendarmes made futile efforts to
drive this mass back from the portals.
1t was quite impossible to even hold the
people in check. The surging multitude
thrust the police to one side and forced
I'm side door to the cathedral, through
which it poured into the main edifice.
Cavalry finally was summoned to dis
perse the crowd, and found it necessary
to charge before the people would move.
There were no casualties.
Quiet as the country now seems to be,
the new government evidently feels by
no means certain that republican agita-
tors are not still plotting an outbreak.
