CHICAGO. Aug. 4.-The police
today found three trunks ex-
pressed from st. Louis to "Berna-
dotte Louis, Chicago" with no
further address. which they sus-
pect may contain the bodies Of the
two Viviano children, kidnapped
from St. Louis and thought by
many to have been killed.
There was. no odor about the
trunks. and the suggestion that
they might contain bodies was
purely theoretical.
The express agent here re-
ceived telegram from the sup
posed consignee directing that
they be delivered at once. The
police are investigating every
possible clew in their effort to
ind the claimant of the trunks.
st. Louis detectives are ex-
pected to arrive here this even-
ing, and the trunks probably will
be opened after the police obtain
legal advice.
One of the trunks weighs 100
pounds and the other two weigh
200 pounds each. They fit the
description of the mysterious
trunks sent from st. Louis by per-
sons alleged to have taken the
children from their parents home.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 4.-The
police today think that Grace and
Alfonso Viviano. the small chill
dren held for $4,000 ransom,
have not been removed from the
lcfty and they are working today
on this theory. The father of the
children said today that he would
not pay the ransom and he had
informed the police that he has no
idea of doing so.
The detectives have learned that
the trunks of Samuel Turissi were
tsent from st. Louis to Chicago on
Monday. The authorities in CHI
lcago have been asked to try to
find them and hold them for ex-
amination.
Turissi is alleged to have been
seen with the children after they
were taken from their home AZ
moon ON Monday. The express
man who took his trunks to the
station has been held with several
lothers for examination. SO far

Garbled and Conflicting Testi-

land be made public in the regular
official channels. The navy de-
partment wants 1t distinctly un-
derstood that the investigation
Just finished is not in any sense
a trial, but an inquiry for the in
formation of the department"
The present court of inquiry
has shown at least that the mid
might fight ending in Sutton's
death was surrounded by peculiar
circumstances.
That the officials of the marine
corps made no effort to probe into
the case.
That the hurried inquest held
the next day over the dead Off
GERS body made no such effort.
That the navy department is
doing its best to make 1t appear
that there was nothing suspicious
about the affair.
Also to "whitewash" the off
cials. of the school and the court
of inquiry that concluded Sutton
had killed himself.
Beyond these facts. no conclu-
sion whatever can be reached
from the testimony except that
the truth is being withheld by
someone. No court or Jury in
civil life in the world would be
able to reach any conclusion from
the garbled and conflicting testi-
mony given by the young officers
who were concerned in the brawl
that night. 1t only grows more
and more strange every day that
the first board of inquest could
have possibly reached verdict of
suicide.

PUT HEAVY GUARD
ABOUT HARRY THAW

Watch Him Careful

Case Today. 4.

(By United Press Leased Wire
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Aug. 4.
AN unusually heavy guard was
placed about the court room here
today. where the inquest into the
mental condition of Harry X.
Thaw is being held.
Four deputies accompanied
Thaw to the court house and
watched him carefully. Hereto
fore he has been allowed to walk
with his mother and other men,
bers of his family, the warden
following the party. No explana-
tion was given for the sudden
change in the attitude of those re-
sponsible for Thaw's presence.
1t was clear, however, that the
additional precaution was the re-
suit either of new policy on the
part of Thaw's custodians or of
some warning that better care
should be taken of the prisoner.
After brief examination by
District Attorney Jerome and At
torney Morschauser, DR.. Flint, the
alienist, was excused, and DR.. c. S.
Mcdonald, formerly a member OF
the New York state board of luna
cy, was called to the stand.
Jerome read from a text book
a description of paranoia and DR..
Mcdonald said that 1t fitted
Thaw's condition perfectly. The
witness delivered hard blow
against the prisoner when he said
that continued confinement In the
asylum at Matteawan would keep
In abeyance a tendency iowa I'd
homicide, which freedom would
awake.
Attorney Morschauser cross-ex-
amined DIR. Mcdonald this after
noon and forced the doctor to ad-
NIT that If Thaw had grounds for
believing Stanford Whites alleg-
ed practices, then that belief was
not delusion.

Milk on q Stick,

In winter time milk goes to the buy

a Glasgow paper. The people In Sibe-
ria buy their milk frozen, and for con-
venience 1t is allowed to freeze about
a stick. which comes as a handle to
carry 1t by. The milkman leaves one
chunk or two chunks, as the case may
be. at the houses Of his customers
The children in Irkutsk. instead Of cry
Ing for a drink of milk, cry for bite
of milk. The people in winter time do
not say, 'Be careful not to spill the
milk" but "Be careful not to break
the milk" Broken milk is better than
spilled milk, though, because there is
an opportunity to save the pieces. A
quart of frozen milk on stick Is
very formidable weapon in the hand of
an angry man or boy, as it is possible
to knock person down with It. Ir.
kutsk people hang their milk on hooks
instead Of putting it In pans, though,
of course. when warm spring weather
comes on they have to use the pans or
pals as the milk begins to melt and
drop down the hooks.
