Rochester, n. Y. Aug. s.-The body
OF Anna Schumacher. seventeen years
old. Of 1872 Cady sreet. this city. was
found in a shallow hole in Holy Sepul-
cbre Cemetery on the Charlotte boule-
ward. three miles north or the city. at
1880 o'clock this morning.
There seems no doubt that It is a
case Of murder. The body was covered
with a few inches OF dirt
The girl left home on Saturday after
noon and went to the cemetery alone
TO place flowers on her fathers grave.
She was seen In the cemetery putting
the flowers on the grave. Not returning
home search was begun for her and this
resulted to-day In the finding Of the
body. The girl was evidently attacked
from behind while kneeling at the grave
OF her father The track OF the heel of
a womans shoe. showing that the body
had been dragged. was followed from the
grave 70 the point where the body was
found, an old rabbit warren.
The condition Of the body shows that
the victim made q brave fight for her
life. The body was covered with bruises
and blood, and the clothing was torn al
most 20 shreds. The condition OF the
head showed that the girl had been
pounded 20 death with "a stone The hat
which she wore was beside her in the
hole In which her murderer had buried
hsr.
There is as yet no clue. The part OF
the cemetery IN which her fathers grave
Is located is very lonely, and the spot
IN which the body was found IS just over
the line OF the cemetery. The sheriff has
taken charge Of the case. and the whole
vicinity is being secured I'm the hope of
finding some clue that viii lead to the
arrest of the perDetrators Of The crime.

husbands family into settling upon her
a large sum OF money. said to be $500. coz.
Is the statement mads tonight by Charles

Thaw.
Ever since Thaw was sent to Mattea-
wan Evelyn Thaw has been threatening
him with divorce, and numerous stories
regarding her contemplated procedure
have been published. Mr.. Morschauser
summed UP the matter as follows:
Since Mrs. Thaw ascertained she could
not force Harry into acoeding TO her
wishes by threats OF divorce. she has
resorted 20 an actual demand for the set
Element Of large sum upon herself
rs 1t as much as S50o0o0? Mr.. Nor
chauser was asked.
Yes, it's somewhere around that figure.
We are not excited by her oft-repeated
divorce threats, for we know what she
has been doing. She has been negotiating
with District Attorney Jerome and his
alienists and aiding them n this case;
therefore she can look to them to take
care Of her"
This declaration that Jerome and his
alienists may care for Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw's welfare is taken as an indication
that Thaw and his family have finally
determined to cut her adrift for good.

WANT TANsAN ON FREE LIST.
Congress Urged to Take Duty from
Japanese Healing Water.

Congress Urged TO Take Duty from
Japanese Healing water.
From special dispatch to the New York Tines
Washington. Aug. s-Prominent ply
sielans from Philadelphia and all tho
largo cities Of the country are preparing
at the beginning Of the next session OF
Congress to urge that the famous Jap
anese healing water known as Tansan
be put on the free list. This water. which,
II IS asserted, comes exclusively from a
natural spring IN Japan. and cannot be
manufactured in this country, is. in the
Payne tariff law, subject to a tariff as
high as other mineral waters which
might compete with American waters.
In the closing days or Congress, when
interest was centered on a few articles on
which the President was demanding re-
ductions DR. Edward Bedloe. we'll known
in Philadelphia and Washington, submit
ted TO Senator Warren n second petition,
signed by Drs. S. Weir Mitchell. J. Will
lam White. John 3. Deaver, Lewis Brin-
ton, James G. Wilson. Hobart A. Hare,
Edward Martin, Ernest La Place. John
G. Clark, W. Joseph Hearn, Max !.
Stern. Samuel Wolfe, Helen Murphy. A.
j. Downs. W. b. Van Lennep. and scores
Of other doctors representing all the
medical schools, colleges. and hospitals in
Philadelphia. praying that, for philan-
thropic and humanitarian reasons. the
healing water. as an article that COM
petes with no American equivalent, be
admitted free OF duty.
The petition urges that efforts be made
at the next session to have a joint reso-
luton. similar 10 that introduced by Sen
ator McCumber at the last moment. put
through Congress amending the Payne
law in this one respect. The petition
states that even without tariff duties, the
freight charges from Japan are already so
high as to make Tansan water a luxury.
so far as many patients OF moderate
means are concerned. and these argu-
mcnts. combined with the widespread in
terest manifested among medical men
throughout the country. incline DR.. Bed
loe to be hopeful OF success In the next
Congress.

GROWERS DENoUNCE BURBANK
Controversy 1. On Between Friends
- rr.so. 90 Observation-Disclosures

Controversy II On Between Friends
and Enemies Of HOrticulturist.
San Francisco. Aug. "a controversy
is on here over the real value Of the
plant discoveries and creations Of Luther
Burbank. The Pasadena Gardeners Asso-
citation last week passed a resolution de-
nouncing Burbank as a faker. and warn
ing the public against belief IN the claims
for his new horticultural creations. This
action has resulted in fierce debate
between his friends and enemies.
The chief ground Of objection to Bur-
banks recent work is his recommended
ton Of "Wonderberry," which experts
here say is the poisonous Deadly Night
Shade"
Burbank himself says all this tumult
is absurd. as leading seed men OF the
East have approved his work by buying
seeds OF all his new creations in plant
and flower life.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The worst trouble about nfe-preserv-
err" said an old sailor on the steamer L.
c. Hanna not long ago. "is that few peo-
pie know what to do with one when it's
thrown TO them. Many a man would
drown trying TO get a Hfe-preserver over
his head. The average person struggling
about in the water would try TO lift up
the big life ring and put 1t over his head.
That only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
1.-THE proper way to approach a ife-pre-
server In the water is TO take hold at the
side nearest you and press upon It with
all your weight. That causes the farther
side 10 fly Up in the air and down over
your head. ringing you as neatly as G
man ringing a cane at a county fair. Aft
er that mister drowning man can be res
cued"
