DETROIT, Mich. September THE
head and arms of a young woman We're
found today inclosed in a sack In Ecorse

The face of the girl was in such q fair
state of preservation that Identification

at the most
And once the identity of the unfortu-
nate girl is revealed the county and city

a long stride toward a solution of the
mystery that was presented to them yes
terday when the torso of young woman
was discovered sewed in a similar sack
in Ecorse creek in the suburb OF Ecorse
The sack found today lay hidden under
the bridge while that found yesterday
was fifty feet down stream.

the great anxiety caused in stock market
circles of the reports of a relapse suf-
fered by l.. H. Hartman while the

any official announcement from Mr.. Har-
riman's business associates when trading
began. and was confronted with reports
of neayy selling and severe declines in
the London market for American account
before the opening here. The sales here
were not In as large amount as on many
similar occasions. but the tone at first
was semi-demoralized. After the opening
vigorous support was eXerted and prices
rallied Immediately. Within few min
utes an announcement was Forthcoming
from the Union Pacific offices that Mr..
Hartman was much better and the APP
pearance of the market became quieter.
The arrest of the recovery of prices
and the hesitating fluctuations which
followed showed the uncertain senti-
ment of the speculation. The dealings
fell to very small volume and the
whole tone of the market indicated q
feeling of suspicion of the reassuring
announcements regarding Mr.. Harri-
mans improvement ana desire to
adopt a waiting attitude in making
commitments In the market.

Exploits of Americans
as Viewed by Europeans

LONDON, September 1.-THE honor OF
planting the national Tag at the north
pole undoubtedly belongs to America"
Lieut.. L. II. Shackleton. the English ex-
plorer who recently led an expedition
into the antarctic regions, said today.
The news within a week." he contin-
ued, that two men have reached the
pole is an extraordinary coincidence.
we all expected to hear of Command
er Peary's arrival some time during the
month, and we sincerely hoped that the
result of his years of effort and struggle
would be crowned with success.
"Peary undoubtedly got to the pole;
between him and Dr. Cook the pole has
certainly been reached
IT is said that Peary reached the
goal April q, 1909. 1t will be interesting
to know the date he left his base to go
to the polar sea and his rate of travel
northward.
IF Peary's speed comedies with Cook s
this fact will go far in the eyes Of the
world TO clear UP the question whether
such distances as claimed by Cook can
be covered. The ice conditions around
Peary's camp in 1908 should approximate
somewhat the conditions observed by
Cook"
Cylinder Not Likely to Be Found.
1T is extremely unlikely that the
metal cylinder left at the pole by DR..
Cook will be found by Peary. because
OF the drifting ice. If Peary took a
more easterly line there Is a possibility
of his coming across the cylinder. but
such a find would be extraordinary. for
a fall Of snow would be- sufficient to
hide all trace Of this tube.
"Peary. from what I know Of him,
would be the first to give credit to any
one who preceded him. Peary deserved
his success; he has devoted his entire
life to arctic exploration, and nobody

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
il. is entirely closed. Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is moth
