Man, With $500 Money Order
Found Dead Near Capital.
RAGGED WOUND IN NECK
Police Regard the Case as One Of Cold
BIooded Murder, But Motive 10 Lack
ing, as Money and Watch Were
Found Upon the Body--In Doubt as
to Mans Identity.

Washington, March 8.-T'he body OF
well dressed man. partially covered
with snow. and ragged wound In the
neck, was found near Alexandria. Va.
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
r. Schultz; card bearing the same
name. but with an address of 1914
Dougles street, Sioux City Ia. and an
other card which bears the name of
Mrs. Alma Hume Gillette.
The police regard the case as one
Of cold blooded 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 victims
clothes are believed TO have been put
there by his slayer.
The theory that the man committed
suicide is not credited, because of the
DeEuiidI NudIdtlSI Oi tU8 WOu0u anu
the fact that no weapon Of any sort
was found near his body. The police
also assert that il is improbable that
robbery was the motive, as S28 in cash
and a gold watch were found in the
pockets of the victim.
After working upon ar sorts OF
clues, the Alexandria police are still
in doubt as to the mans identity and
the manner in which lie met his death.
One theory is that tie murdered man
was an Inauguration visitor who was
1ured away from the city. murdered
and his body thrown into field where
it was found, about 400 yards from the
Alexandria railroad station.
The authorities believe they will es-
tablish the identity of the victim from
a letter, without envelope. evidently
belonging to the dead man. It was
dated Sioux City, Ia. Dec. 80" and
was signed Your sister, Ellen Doro-
thy"
The dead man was apparently about
thirty-five years old and his appear
ance was that of a prosperous bust
ness man.

EXPOSITION TO HELP TRADE
Exhibition Of Principal industries and
Products viii Boom Emigration
to Western States.

London. March 1.--At a meeting
convened by the executive committee
Of the Golden West and American In
dustries exhibition, to be held at EarIs
Court this year. John w. Ryckman.
the special commissioner for the Unit
ed States, presented a report on the
support accorded 20 the exhibition
from New York to California. as
result Ct his interviews with various
State officials, corporations and cham
bers and associations OF commerce.
Mr. Cromieu-Javal. chairman of the
committee. presided.
Mr.. RycFrnan said that the exhibit
ton would be reprege ntatfve of the
principal industries and products Of
the United States. The idea Of an
American exhibition in Lond2n this
year was considered by the business
classes Of the Tilted States TO be of
great importance, not only for the com
MERGE and Developments of the Unit
ed States. but also for the increased
interchange of commerce between the
two great English-speaking nations.
The had in mind the first Eari's
Court American exhibition Of 1887,
and the increase which had since TAX
en- place in the commerce between the
United States and the United King
dom. as well as the new patent laws of
Great Britain, which were considered
to be a very legitimate, just and prop
er kind of protection in this country.
Many of the manufactures were
coming with the object Of establishing
plants of their own, so as to employ
British labor in the manufacture of
American machinery and devices, or
OF making contracts for such manufac-
ture on royalty or the assignment of
their patents.
The Desirable CoIonists.
The people in the western half of
the United States were keen upon
taking the fullest advantage of the OPP
portunity to get from Great Britain a
desirable class of colonists and skilled
labor for the developement of their
own districts.
The railway companies of the west
had displayed great interest in the ex-
hibition. and the representatives Oh
thirty-seven systems had engaged
space FOR the exhibition of the pro-
ducts along their systems. The Chica-
go Chamber of Commerce would have
building devoted to the industries
of Chicago.

Increasing Membership In Union.

Increasing Membership In Union.
Wilkes-Barre Pa, March Sin the
opinion of man who was here with
the mine workers during the past three
days, there will be no strike of the an
thracite workers, even If the operators
reject all the demands, as they have
said publicly they will.
It is his belief that II the operators
persist in their refusal to grant any
concessions, that the mine workers
will be advised by President Lewis and
the district officers to remain at work
during the summer, while the union Is
being strengthened, and wait until q
better opportunity.
There are several reasons why a
strike now would not be successful
he explained. In the first place, the
operators began storing coal last year
in order to have large quantity on
hand In case of strike. This amount
was greatly increased during the mild
weather of the winter, and there Is
now in storage some sen or twelve
million tons.
IF a strike was declared next
month, when the existing agreement
expired, the coal in storage would sup.
ply the demand during the hot wealth.
er for four months or more before any
scarcity of coal was felt.
This condition would severely han.
dicap the mine workers, and In all
probability would defeat them. Then,
too. the membership Of the union in
the anthracite district is not as large
as 1t should be.
by fall, too, business conditions
will be- better than they are. now. The
general tendency now Is to reduce
wages, not to- increase them"
Acting President Adam Ruscavage,
of she Wyoming and Lackawanna dis.
trict. and President John A. Fahy. of
the PottsvflIe and Shamokin districts,
remained in this city preparing for
the Cancellation board meeting. Presi.
dent McIlhenuy, of the Hazleton dis
trict, will join them here. All are now
busily collecting data from their varf'
GUS districts to reinforce President
Lewis presentation of the demands,
and this work will keep them busy
until the day OF the convention. They
expect chat the presentation of the
mine workers demands, together with
the arguments as to why they should
be granted, can all be completed IN the
first day of the conference.
