INAUGURAL GUEST
WAS MURDERED
Man, With $500 Money Order,
Found Dead Near Capital.
RAGGED WOUND N NECK

Police Regard the Case as One of Cold
Flooded Murder, But Motive Is Lack
ING, as Money and Watch Were
Found Upon the Eody-ln Doubt as
to Mans Identity.
Washington, March S.-The body of
a well dressed man, partially covered
with snow and ragged wound in the
neck, was found near Alexandria, Va.
a short distance from Washington. In
the pockets of the clothing were a
travellers check for $500, Issued by
the Wells Fargo Express company at
Los Angeles, Cal, payable to Walter
F. Schultz; card bearing the same
name but with an address of 1914

other card which bears the name of
Mrs. Alma Hume Gillette.
The police regard the case as one
Of cold b )ded murder and as one of
the most mystifying crimes ever com
mitted in this section A motive for
the murder is lacking, and the iden-
tity Of the man supposed to be Schultz
is By no means complete. Cards and
other papers found in the victim s
clothes are believed to have been put
there by his slayer
The theory that the man committed
suicide is not credited. because Of the
peculiar character of the wound and
the fact that no weapon of any sort
was found near his body. The police
also assert that it is improbable that
robbery was the motive, as $2S IN cash
and a gold watch were found in the
pockets of the victim.
After working upon all sorts of
clues, the Alexandria police are still
in doubt as to the mans identity and
the manner in which he met his death
One theory is that the murdered man
was an Inauguration visitor who was
lured away from the city, murdered
and his body thrown into a field where
it was found, about 400 yards from the
Alexandria railroad station.

CAUGHT A SEA BAT.
Strange Fish Taken in Seine Off North
Carolina Coast

One of the rarest specimens of the fish
kingdom known to waters contiguous to
the North Carolina coast was captured in
a seine at MaS0nbOro sound recently by
William Hewlett, fisherman. The fish,
which was brought to the city,
is what is called 1.-The seat bat'' and
it is a perfect reproduction of a leather
wing bat on a large scale. The fish is
about Is inches long and about 30 inches
across the back.
Strange to state it had a thin thread
like tail about Is inches in length and
on each side of the rear appendage We're
two perfectly formed gloved feet, with
a smaller diversion having the exact APP
pearance of thumb, with the other part
of the hand mittened. The mouth of the
strange specimen was about inches
across and on each side of the mouth or
the under side of the body there were
five 'strainers" or holes through which
the fish is said to rid itself of refuse
products resulting from the forage it
picks up at the bottom of the sea. The
top of the fish was a dark slate color and
the under part of the body was white.
One old negro fisherman more than 20
years of age stated that this was only
the second specimen of the sea bat he
had ever seen in his long experience as
fishermen. The specimen, which had a
truly uncanny appearance, will probably
be sent to the state museum at Raleigh
Wilmington Dispatch.

as they must DO to secure the benefit of
the service. Consul Fee writes from
Bremen that houses in Berlin, Hamburg.
Cologne and other German cities are
likely to push for foreign patronage. but
he notes that as manufacturers and mer-
chants in Germany keep prices at con
siderable altitude by mutual under
standing. and as American goods are
very much liked by German consumers.
there is a fine opportunity for American
trade to be extended in that direction.
Consul GoldSchmidt of Nantes says the
time has arrived when American retail
merchants may secure share of patron
age in France as well as in other Euro
pean countries.
1t is a curious thing that the parcels
post to foreign countries should be an
established fact while discussion is still
going forward in Congress as to wheth-
er or not there shall be parcels post
in the United States. The most serious
obstacle to the early granting of the serv-
ice by Congress is the opposition of the
express companies, which of course is
purely selfish. Parcels post within the
