DOG REVEALS CRIME
SCENTS BLOOD OF plsMEMBEREp
MANS BODY AND SOUNDS
ALARM.
GOTHAM POLICE BAFFLED
erewsoms Discovery Of Fox Terrier In
Packages Given to Boy to Guard
Furnishes Mystery Rivallna ceie-
brated Guldensvppe Case.

New York, June 12.-After making
rapid progress, not only in finding the
missing head Of the victim, but in
identifying him as Samuel Bersin,
Russian painter and decorator, the
New York police find themselves with
a sordid murder mystery on their
hands, tangled as to motive and with
no direct clew to the assailants.
Robbery, jealousy or revenge, the
latter two suggested motives involv-
ing a woman and a love affair, are
being worked upon, but only with the
usual police formality of investigating
all sides of crime.
An autopsy performed on the vic
TINS dismembered body showed that
Bersin had been partly asphyxiated
before his throat was slashed and the
body mutilated in a manner similar
to the famous Guldensuppe case of
years ago.
Fox Terrier Smells Blood.
The dismembered body, wrapped in
oil cloth, was left by a stranger in
the care of boy in Catherine street.
Subsequently the mans head, which
was missing was found lying on a pile
of refuse under the Brooklyn bridge.
Not since the Guldensuppe case Of a
decade ago has a murder so mystified
the police. For two hours the boy
stood in front of a public school build.
ing in Monroe street waiting for the
return of the man who had given him
two bundles containing the dismem.
bered body. A fox terrier smelled the
blood in the packages and barked al
them so vioiously and persistently
that his owner called a policeman and
the discovery resulted.
On the wrapper OF each parcel one
OF which contained the torso and the
other the legs and arms, was boldly
written the words, BLACK Hand"
Detectives couple this with the TO
cent activity OF the secret service
among BLACK Hand" operators in the
middle west and declare that the mur
dered man was the victim OF an Ital
ian blackmsiling society.
Diamond Rings Missing.
Bersin had been wearing two hand
some diamond rings and these with
whatever money he carried were
missing when the body was found.
Mrs. Moliie Isaacson, the murdered
mans sister, informed the police thai
Bersin had been greatly depressed foi
the last month because a young
woman with whom he was in love haC
forbidden him to call upon her. Mrs
lsaacson said that Bersin had a jeal
ous rival for the girls affection ant
stood much in fear Of the other man

The sheikh's young son came IN,
curiosity having got the better OF his
shyness at last; he sidled confidently
to his father, and was there embraced
lin the way OF these Arab fathers)
presently he had snuggled close to his
fathers feet, and was become one Of
our company, writes Norman Duncan
in Harper's. inquired then, in a
blundering way concerning the boys
education-would he be sent to the
schools in Cairo?
He was born here" was the an.

fathers" ventured, ito advance their
sons above themselves"
How may this be done?" he asked.

away he will either remain away or
return; II he remain, he will be for
ever unhappy, having been born to the
freedom Of this airy desert; II he re-
turn, he will be forever unhappy also,
having tasted indulgence, having been
corrupted by the luxury OF the city.
Now, II send my son away to the
schools and II he remain away. he will
either succeed or fail in life. But
how, born In this desert, shall he sue
ceed. being forever at disadvantage
in an alien place? II he succeed,
what shall compensate him for the
stress and confinement he must suffer-
He must live In q room; but how shall
he endure to live in a room7 And II
he fail, what then shall become OF
him? ! will keep my son with bis

Anciently man thought more highly
OF his horse than of his women kind
But woman, as II CHANGED, was crafty
why does he esteem his horse be

resolutely faced the task Of finding

Her first answer was: The horse
will carry heavier load"
Her next: The horse doesn't tall
back at him.
But neither Of these, somehow, I m
pressed her as being correct.
Most likely" she declared, a

Writing Rooms In Stations.


Nothing could surpass our big rail-
road stations In regard to luxury and
comfort" said a New York suburban
ite. He closed his evening paper and
paced the long corridor. They lack,
however, writing rooms" he added,
"a much-needed accommodation. All
big department stores, all hotels, pro-
vide, without charge, attractive desks
covered with pretty stationery, good
pens, clean blotters, for the use OF
their customers. This convenience 10
much appreciated, and the neat mo-
nogram Of the establishment on the
paper and envelopes amply pays, in its
advertising value for the expense of
the writing room. Now, where would
a writing room be more serviceable
than in a railroad station7 Look at
me! Here have half hour TO put in
and nothing to DO but pace the corri.
dors. The letters could get of, the
important business ! could attend to
in this forced period Of idleness! Ger
tainly, here in America where time is
so valuable, the railroads should give
their travellers writing rooms"

WHITE SLAVE BILL REPORTED
Substitute Measure for Suppression
 of Traffic Before the House.

Washington, Dec. 17.--A bill aiming at the complete suppression of the white s1avH' traffic, and imposing imprisonment and heavy fines upon any person importing women into this country for immoral purposes or har- boring them after their arrival here was reported from the Immigration committee today The measure is a substitute for the two bills introduced by Representatives Bonnet and Sabath and intended to cover the ground of the bill prepared by Chairman Mann of the interstate commerce commit tee.
 A maximum penalty of ten years Imprisonment, and fine of s5.000 Is provided for violations of the proposed law. Any alien found within house kept for immoral purposes in this country, as manager, inmate or em ploye, may be deported. Any one re- turning to the United States following such deportation is made guilty of misdemeanor.
 The bill also covers the interstate traffic, a feature of the Mann bill, which has caused the antagonism of the democratic members of the inter state committee, on the ground of an invasion of the right of states to reg ulate their own morals. It prohibits as a felony the procuring of trans portation from one state to another of persons for immoral purposes.
