Governors Island,

The army engineers hope to finish
the project for the enlargement of
Governors island. New York, next
year. The plan originally proposed
the addition Of about eighty two acres
to the area of the island by inclosing
with bulkhead part of the sloai
southwest of the island and filling the
inclosure. The estimate for the work
was $1.1OO,OOO. which included the
building of a wharf and several neces-
sary buildings and dredging in front
Of the wharf to depth Of twenty six
feet Since the act of 1901 prov i,ling
for such work the area to be added
has been increased by twenty acres.
and the land becomes a valuable addi-
ton to the army post on the island
All the work is done with the excep-
tiOn Of filling up about eighteen acres
and closing a gap in the sea wall about

.HEADLESS BODY
FOUND IN SACK
Detroit Murder Mystery Prom
iSeS Tough Problem for Po-
lice and Detectives.

Detroit, Sept. 6.-Tied in a bag. the
torso of a young girI was discovered to-
day in EcOrse creek, at EcOrse, down
the-river suburb of this city. The head.
aims and legs were not to be found and
it was impossible to identify the body.
The body was taken TO an underta kerr
esta blishment in the city of Wvand0tte.
A preliminary examination by physicians
disclosed that the head and limbs had
been severed. The care with which the
body was seCreted apparently dispOsas of
the possibility that the torso might have
been discarded by some physician or stu
dent 1t is thought that the victim was
about 20 years of age. An investigation
was started with the object of learning
whether the victim might be any one of
three young women who have recently
been reported to the Detroit police as
missing.

At Etah Peary had established d sta
ton for training EskimOs and dogs and
a accommodating supplies. On former ex-
petitions it had been his plan to take
his ship as far north as he could pen
citrate and there put into winter quart
ers, using Etah as a base of supplies.
This time he divided his party into
three grOups-One to make geological OBJ
servations, another to make meteOrolog-
iCal nOtauons and a third of five or
six picked men with dogs for the last
dash to the pole while the first two
followed more slowly as supporting par
ties and established bases of supplies
for the return trip.
That Peary's friends foresaw some of
the criticisms likely to be evoked by
Dr. Cooks claims and that they UNI
dertook TO guard against such situa-
ton, is shown by the remarkable plan
arranged here for reporting the discov-
cry he hoped for.
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1909-09-07

Access was obtained today, however
to a number Of personal letters which
Commander Peary has written to
friends and business associates in New
York between the time he sailed on
July and the time he left his supply
depot at Etah in the following August
The last words from him came in the
mails of September 1, 1908. The letters
were written in August aboard the
Roosevelt but were not dated. Some
were to Mrs. Peary and others to per-
sonal and business friends. These let
ters told little of conditions at Etah.
nor did they speak Of what his hopes
or misgivings might be.
Mrs. Peary in writing 10 a friend in
June. 1908. said: Nothing has been
heard from Mir. Peary since last fall
when the letters dated Etah in August
were delivered. I hope to have news in

for an expedition I think he had at
least as much chance as DR.. Cook had
for discovering the pole. Peary was
within 200 miles of the pole in the last
expedition and was prevented from go
ing there by the opening of the ice
packs. He has been gone long enough
to have reached there"
