TRAGEDY IN
A CEMETERY
Shocking Brutality Shown In
Murder Of Young Woman
WAS CHOKED AND BEATEN
WayIaid and Criminally Assaulted by
Some One Evidently Familiar With
the Locality-Body of Victim Is
Dragged Some Distance and Placed
In Trench Dug For the Occasion
No Arrests Yet Made

| No Arrests Yet Made
Rochester, N. Y, Aug. 10.-That
Anna Schumacher, II years old,
whose body was found crudely buried
in Holy Sepulcher cemetery, was
choked and beaten to death after be-
ing criminally assaulted, is the con-
clusion based on the autopsy held by
the coroner, but many of the cir
cumstances of the crime, even to the
exact place where it was committed,
can still be only guessed at.
A broken spade which is relied on
to give some indication of the murder
er was found near the lonely spot
where the victims body was hidden.
at ST. Demands seminary, which is
near the cemetery, and its use lends
FEASIBILITY to the belief that the
murderer was not unfamiliar with the
locality. Having secured the spade,
he must have dragged the body into
the shrubbery, and with such care as
was possible in the darkness, dug
shallow trench, into which he later
placed the corpse, covering it with
earth and leaves. This work must
have consumed considerable time.
The autopsy emphasizes the brutal
ity of the crime. The body was in a
pitiable condition-head, face, chest,
arms and hands were covered with
hruicao apd corotobac. fba hopa that
supports the tongue, the hyoid, was
fractured in the choking and the hair
was full of dirt and leaves, indicating
that the body was dragged some dis
lance, probably by the feet.
1t would seem that the girl, who
was of vigorous physique, made
desperate struggle to save her honor
and her life. On account of the con-
dition of the body it was buried to-
day.
The inquest into the death begun to-
day. In the meantime the city,
county and town authirities are bend
ing every effort to apprehend the
murderer.
The young woman left her home
Saturday morning to place flowers in
the cemetery, which is that of the
Catholic church, and when she did
not return at night her family was
greatly alarmed, as her absence was
quite unusual.
A search was instituted, which was
kept up nearly all of Saturday night,
Sunday and Sunday night, until the
finding of the body Monday by two
police officers. Their search led them
about a hundred feet outside of the
cemetery limits, and they were at
tracted to the grave by the freshly
disturbed earth and a piece of white
cloth protruding from 1t.
The spot where the body was found
was well chosen for concealment. 1t
is back of an old icehouse, and is sur
rounded by wild underground and
trees. The murderer probably believed
that the crime would not be discov-
cred for some time, if at all.

SPRING HILL MINERS OUT
May Have Their Wages Reduced II
They Lose Strike Begun Today

Spring Hill, N. s., Aug. 10.-At a
meeting of the members of Lodge 463
of the United Mine Workers last night
it was voted to go on a strike today
for recognition of their union.
1t is understood that the company
intends to fight to the last ditch. 1t
is further contended on their side
that when the men go back it will be
at practically greatly reduced wages.
A gloom overshadows the town.
The conditions here differ greatly
from Cape Breton, in that every man
employed in and about the mine went
out this morning. There is no posi-
bility of telling how long the strike
will last, but the general impression
is that it will be a lengthy one. The
company employs 1000 men.

GREECE REPLIES TO TURKEY

Regard to crete-DiscIaims Impli-

Explanation Which Is Likely to Ma

Canea, Island of Crete, Aug. TO-
The Greek flag which was run up over
the fortress and the Cretan military
barracks here July 27, the day fol-
lowing the evacuation of the island
by the international troops, was low
cred last evening as a result of the
protests of the four protecting powers.
Athens, Aug. 10.-The Greek gov
eminent has handed to the Turkish
minister a formal reply to the porte's
note of several days ago, which asked
Greece to express her disapproval of
the annexation agitation in Crete and
formally to declare that she had no
ambitions regarding the island.
The reply is a lengthy document.
1t protests formally against the COM
plant contained in the Turkish note
and gives instances of Greece's con-
slant endeavors to maintain frank and
friendly relations with Turkey and to
draw closer the bonds uniting the two
countries.
1t recalls the enthusiasm with which
the Greek element in Turkey worked
for the triumph of a constitutional
regime there and points out that had
Greece cherished, the designs attribut-
ed to her she would have tried to
profit by the trials and difficulties
against which the new Turkish gov
eminent has been contending. In
stead, the note declares, Greece has
done and still wishes to do all in her
power for the appeasement of Turkey
and for peace.
Also in the Cretan question, the
note continues, the Turkish govern
ment itself several times has had the
occasion to proclaim that the conduct
of Greece can only leave the question
of Crete to the protecting powers and
conform to their decision. The note
repeats the assurance that Greece, be-
ing in no way implicated in the an
nexationist movement in Crete, will
preserve the same correct and loyal
attitude as in the past. In conclu-
sion the note says:
1--WE trust that these frank ex-
plantations will dissipate all misun-
derstandings and help to inaugurate
an era of cordial and loyal relations
between the two countries and to their
mutual advantage"
The governments reply to the porte
was approved by the representatives
of the protecting powers.

LONG TAKES ANOTHER
CRACK AT ROOSEVELT.
Nature Writer Repeats He's a
"Game Butcher"

STAMFORD, Conn. May 27.-Dr
William j. Long, the former minister
and nature writer, some of whose writ
.ngs were bitterly attacked by Theo-
dore Roosevelt when he was President,
spoke yesterday of Mr.. Roosevelt's Afri-
can hunting trip. DIR. Long said that
some OF the things the former President
is said to have done in Africa call fol
protest.
DIR. Long said; "If the reports Of
killings are true, they are exactly in
line with Mr.. Roosevelt's previous rec
ords. They prove what / said two
years age. quoting from his own books.
that he is a game butcher pure and
simple, and that his interest in ami
mails lies chiefly in the direction Of
blood, butchery and brutality.
I'm the dispatches l notice that when
he could not find bufaloes he had Il
content himself by shooting wart hog;
and other i~noffensive creatures. As the
buffaloes are fast disappearing from
Africa, and as Mr.. Roosevelt had al
ready killed several, why in the name
of science should he go out to Kill
more? And why, failing to find buffalo
should he slaughter other creatures
The whole thing is ~atrocfous."

City Counsel James R. Nugent pre-
sented an opinion on the 1906 excise
law relative to the granting of a license
within 200 feet of church property, In
which he stated that the section did not
apply to wholesale houses. The board

of Max Epstein, who wanted a license
for 80 Hamburg place. The applicants
withdrew their application when the

ity stated his objections.

Abuse of Charity.
1.-THE infirmary," the report says as
for the treatment of the poor only,
Applicants presenting a well-to-do APP
pearance are refused treatment unless
they satisfy the officers that they are
unable to pay. Persons who are able
to pay for the services they require
are not unfrequently SEN here by ply
sicians and others; this is an abuse of
medical charity which we hope to cor
rect by calling attention to IT.
THE infirmary Is a private corpora
ton devoted to the public welfare, and
the medical officers of its staff do not
receive any pay for their services"
The trustees make an earnest ap-
peal for enough funds to erect a sep
