 Anna Schumacher.

Rochester N. Y., Aug. 11.-A posse of fifty farmers, many of them armed with shotguns. aided the local police in searching and. guarding the marsh lands along the shore of Lake On- tario, near Holy Sepulcher cem- eterS. where Anna Schumacher met a brutal death last Saturday. -
 A man suspected of being the mur- derer of the girl is believed to be hiding in the nearby marshes.
 Reputable witnesses have testified at the inquest that a man was seen with or near the girl in the cemetery Sat urday. and that this man. or one of have been hanging about the district for two or three days. It is a curious fact that this man went to the home of the father of Constable Albert Ba- ker of the town of Greece, who found the crude grave in which the girl was buried, and bought food this morning. The constable was absent from the house at the ti1e-
 At times today the number engaged in a hunt for this suspect is estimated to have been 150 men. and tonight a posse of about 50 farmers is continu- ing the hunt, as it is thought the man may try to escape under cover of the darkness.

On TranSmittal from Senate the House Adheres
 to Former Action
CORRUPT PRACTICES BILL IS PASSED
Voting Machine Commissioners-Bil Passed Authorizing Construction of New Bridge Across the Thames Speaker Banks to Give Theater Party-Prospects are Good for Adjournment Late Next Week.

Hartford Aug. 11-with ehe public utilities matter off their minds, the members of the legislature settled down to business today and disposed of a large proportion of the business on the calendar. The prospects are that adjournment will be taken late next week.
 This afternoon opposition appeared in the house to the plan to have an assistant attorney general appointed under a bill which Is labeled con eerning the support of indigent per- sons.' Representative Dormitzer at once declared this to be a "Spellacy" bill in another form, and pointed out that the present laws authorize the attorney general to appoint or engage an assistant to carry out any special inquiry into legal matters. As there was no desire to raise the question of a quorum the matter was tabled.
 The house concurred with the sen- ate in accepting the amendment to the bill concerning the manufacture of electricity and the compromise measure went through in concurrence, disposing of a very troublesome mat ter. There was no discussion of the bill when it came up inithe house.
 The public utilities matter died peacefully through a motion to ad- here to former action on the part Of the house.

Now he said. Secretary Bal linger' had again put up for entry these lands. and each tract had in it's boundaries a water power site.

AFFAIRS AT BEVERLY.
President Taft Takes Daily Routine of Exercise-WiIl Make Few Recess Appointn1ents

Beverly, Mass. Aug. President Taft talked with the American ann bassador to Japan, Thomas J. O'Brien, for more than an hour this afternoon on the porch of his summer cottage. The ambassador had expected his visit to last not more than fifteen minutes, but he found the president keenly alive to the situation in the far east, and MT. O'Brien went carefully over every question of importance that was pending when he left his post at To- kio to come home on leave of ab- sence. MT. O'Brien is to be retained by the president as ambassador and is credited with being as close to the throne as any ambassador at the Jap .anese emperor's court.
 President Taft made the important declaration today that it will be his policy to make as few recess appoint ments as possible. In cases of va cancies on the federal 1~ rh, espe- cially. the president has sta ! that he will make appointments only in districts or circuits where the need of a judge is shown to be imperative. The president does not believe it to be good policy to appoint man to a life position and to commission him in the absence of confirmation by the senate. There have been several cases ina recent years where federal judges have failed of confirmation and after Serving from one to three years, and the situation thus created has been exceedingly embarrassing. Mir. Tafts declaration of his policy as to recess appointments came up in connection with the vacancy on the district court bench at Chicago. occasioned by the death of Judge Bethea. and Mir Taft will not fill this vacancy until con i'm f,ar
 The president had quite an extended talk with Judge Ira E. Abbott of New Mexico, after luncheon today.
 President Taft will not attend the army manoeuvreS around Boston the week of August 14-21. He thinks his visit would be too 'official'' for the vacation period.
 The president laughingly declared today that the invading force could capture Boston, BeverlN-or Ipswich, so they did not invade the golf links at Myopia and Essex.
 Speaking of golf. the president and his partner, John Hays Hammond were fin bad" again at Essex today and lost out to their old enemies Gen. Adelbert Ames of civil war fame and w. J. Boardman of Washington
 President Taft could not be drawn into any discussion that savored of pOlIlcs tOudN ana Has dHHOunCeu that all such subjects are tabooed during vacation time.
