MURDERED GIRL
WAS RESIDENT OF GERMANY.
That Government Asked to Help Solve
Long Island Mystery.

New York, Oct. 20.-The German
government was asked today to take a
hand in solving the mystery which has
occupied the attention of the Islip, l..
T.. authorities since the discovery of
the skeleton of a young woman killed
by a revolver bullet and surrounded
by remnants of clothing and tarnished
jewelry in lonely patch of woodland
there on Monday.
detailed report of the case was
presented to the German consul gen
eral with evidence to show that t.se
victim was a resident of Germany who
came from Lelpsic or some city in the
Rhenish provinces some time about
last February.
The skeleton. with the exception Of
the skull. which has been preserved to
show the bullet hole which caused
death, was buried today. Three scraps
of paper bearing writing in German
and a billhead sent out by the Week
Refrigerator company of Leipsic were
found in a pocket of the woman's
jacket The billhead had been used by
a firm in the Rhenish town of Krefelt
on Feb. "a, 1908, in giving a receipt for
household articles and kitchen utensils
On the strength of this evidence the
German consul will cable the police Of
those cities to clear up any continental
end of the case if possible.
Several attempts were made by per-
sons with women friends or relatives
missing to identify the clothing and
jewelry today, but the fact that the
woman was killed year ago. possibly
longer, and that no one has been miss
ing for at least two years in the neigh
borhoOd are taken as evidences that
she lived elsewhere.

ST. PETERSBURG SOCIETY
FILLED WITH DISMAY
As Result of the Threatening Situation
in Finland.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. 20.-The threat
ening situation in Finland has spread
dismay in st. Petersburg society, ow-
ing to the prospect OF officers of the
crack regiments of the guard benig
called upon to pass the winter in the
bleak barracks of the cantonments of
Finland, instead of participating in
the gaieties attending the return of
the court to this city. No orders have
been issued for the despatch of troops
to Finland beyond those already on
the way to the grand duchy, accord
ing to an officer of the staff. but word
has been passed to the officers of seven
elite regiments to hold themselves in
readiness for winter campaign.
1t is rumored that some of the reg
iments may leave here next week and
will be distributed by detachments in
the various towns. A prominent Fin
nisI official said today that open re-
sistance to Russia's demand for an
annual military contribution by Fin
land was entirely out of the question.
He believed there would simply be a
passive refusal to appropriate money
for the national defense and that lit
tie headway would be made in the
collection of the amount until that
work was placed in the hands of Rus
slams. The official considered the an
nexation of the eastern portion of VII
borg province settled and he expressed
the opinion that this would lead to
the general emigration of Finnish res
idents to the new frontier.

more town notes of which Town Clerk
Frank E. Hemenway could find no

p. Stockwell They also bore the
certiication of Clerk Hemenway.to the
fact that the town had authorized the
treasurer to borrow money by the is
sue of loan notes to anticipate the

urer Lombard he often had signed
such certiflcations on blank notes in
advance as g matter Of convenience

not certified to the selectmens appro-
val of the issuance Of these particular
notes. He said that in his opinion

The town officials believe that this
represents less than half of the al
legged forged notes which have been
issued.

1T was the original plan to submit
these proofs first to the University OF
Copenhagen, and there has never been
any reason for changing II. There is
no reason why the National Geograph-
ic society should be given precedence
over any other society in America, and
the records will be open to the in
spection of all such societies after the
University of Copenhagen has complet-
ed its investigation. My instruments
cannot be brought from Etah until
next summer"

Senator McCarreni is much better.

MIDsHIPMAN WILSON
WILL NOT RECOVER
Injured in Football Game Between
Navy Team and Villa Nova.

Annapolis, Md. Oct. 20.-Hope of the
recovery of Midshipman Earl d. Will
son, quarterback of the navy football
team, who was injured in the game
with Villa Nova last Saturday, was
practically abandoned today when the
following statement was issued to the
Associated Press correspondent from
the naval hospital here:
.'At a consultation this afternoon, at
which were present DIR. Harvey Cush-
ing of Johns Hopkins university and
Surgeons Frank Anderson, L. C. Stokes
A. III. Mccormick, j. III. Iden, E. L.
Woods and G. T. Cottle, all of the navy,
it was decided that the benefits of an
operation were so improbable and the
chances of death so great that an OPP
Grafton Is not considered justifiable.
Midshipman Wilson'S condition is very
serious, and there is little hope of re-
covery in any case
DR.. Iden, who has had charge of the
case since Wilson was admitted to the
hospital a few minutes after his in
jury said after giving the bulletin out
that the examination of the patient by
the surgeons was most thorough. ---
Wilson was injured in stopping a
long run by an opposing halfback af-
ter a score had been made and another
was threatened. BY a flying tackle
between two interfering men who were
helping the runner Wilson stopped the
play within few yards of navy's goal.
When the mass of players was untan-
gled he was found at the bottom of the
pile unconscious. Paralysis developed
almost at once and since Saturday
Wilson has been unable to move any
part of his body. A second X-ray ex-
animation developed that the fifth YER
tabrae was fractured.

$4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST HATTERS' UNION
Hatters' Official Documents introduced
and Read by Attorney Davenport.

Hartford, Oct. 20.-President John
A. Moffat's address made before the
convention of the United Hatters of
North America. in 1908, in New York
was read to the jury in the United
States circuit court this afternoon, in
connection with the $4,000 damage
suit of d. E. Loewe of Danbury
against the members of the Hatters
union of this state. 1t contained ex-
tended reference to the fights being
waged by the organization against
unfair manufacturers, and shed
light on the methods pursued in
bringing about the results desired. The
introduction of these official docu-
ments arose from the examination of
John W. Scully, secretary Of the Fin
ishers' union of Norwalk. who had
been on the stand all day. He at
tended the 1903 convention and was
asked about Mr.. Moffat's address.
The speech which was read by At
torney Davenport contained the fol-
lowing reference to the fight against
Mr.. Loewe, the plaintiff in the pres
ent suit; THE only other strike of
Importance since the last convention
has been the bne waged against the
non union firm of d. f. Loewe & Co.
Of Danbury. The fight was inaugur-
ated soon after Roelof's for reasons
almost identical Loewe refused to
treat with organizations-to even con-
fer with the officers-and has been
quoted as asserting that he would die
before he would make terms with the
union. It is unnecessary to say more
about this fight at present than it is
progressing satisfactorily and there is
every prospect of it's being concluded
as successfully as has been the other
fights of like nature we have prosecut-
ed in recent years.

Hot to Stand Upon.
MESSAGE FROM CAPT. JACOBS

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 0.-Remarkable
reports of conditions in Bogoslof ISL
and, which has been named Incandes-
cent Island by sailors, was brought
here yesterday by officers of the
United States revenue cutter Perry.
Water Registered 21o Degrees Fahren-
heit.
Within a narrow reef which skirts
one side of the island the water by
test registered 210 degrees Fahrenheit.
Clouds OF smoke and steam arose from
small assures and within the lake a
small spot of land reflected a translu-
cent glow as though an active volcano
excited short distance beneath.
GulPs Eggs Boiled in Pool
At many points on the island the
earth was so hot that the visitors
We're unable to stand upon it. In a
pool gulls eggs were boiled. The Of
f1cers of the cutter also observed a
disturbance of the earth on Pablov
Island that may indicate an early
eruption of the volcano of Pablov.
Smoke was visible several miles at
sea.
Constantly Changing Island.
Washington, Oct 20. = Belching
steam jets in a crater lake in Bering
sea, the lake constituting the greater
part of constantly changing island
whose shore waters are so deep that
soundings failed to reveal a bottom
except in single spot were reported
to the treasury department today
Captain Jacobs investigates.
The message came from Capt w. V.
e. Jacobs of the United States revenue
cutter service, commanding the ,Bering
sea fleet at Unalaska, Alaska, and was
in response>to Instructions from Wash
ington to investigate and photograph
Bogoslof Island, whose frequent
changes in configuration have formed
the basis of other official reports.
Captain Jacobs Investigated the sit
uation on Sept. 20 and his report
reached Captain Commandant Ross of
the service today. Captain Jacobs SAYS
that on account of the surf he was
unable to land when he first reached
the island. He steamed all around it,
a distance of one-half mile, and took
soundings all the way, without, how
ever, reaching bottom. except in one
place, where forty-five fathoms were
recorded, one and half miles west Of
the lake. This shows a marked change
from last year, when soundings were
obtained at many places around the
island
Several steam Jets. Captain Jacobs
says, arise from the center of the lake
and the lake was steaming constantly
The harbor opening on the west side
of the island is now entirely closed
The lake. the captain reports, is with
out doubt the crater.

its name, and not far away is an i'm
