NEW YORK POLICE HAVE ANOTHER
 MURDER MYSTERY
Special from United Press.)

New York July 6-With her heaG
 beaten in and her body covered witt | bruises so as to render the face un
 recognizable an unknown woman wa | found dead, literally beaten to death
 in the doorway of a tenement house | on East Thirteen street early to-day
 The whole doorstep was covered witt | blood and bloody tracks showed tha
 the woman's assassin had walked around to the rear of a saloon after killing her, and escaped.
 The murder was discovered by Nor ITS Gross. boy of 12, who was helping ms brother deliver milk. The boy dropped his milk bottle and lantern ana ran screaming to the street Pol1cemen Kohen and Scherr held him while he caught his breath. The boy was so frightened that he could not speak but he led the policemen to the hallway and pointed inside. There's woman dead in there,' he said, q saw ner and she's all bloody"
 The policemen found the woman's body under the stairway. beaten so badly that she could not be identified. It looked as though the woman had been turned into the stairway and had died fighting. Dr. Rutledge from Belle Vue said the woman had been dead two hours and detectives from head quarters took charge Every man and woman in the tenement was taken to view the body but all declared they had never seen her before. The bloody tracks from the doorway led into the rear of saloon nearby, kept by Adjaio Calia. The police found a man asleep on pool table here and arrested him. He declared that he had been asleep on the pool table all night and knew nothing about the murder.
 Afterwards he said that he had heard a scuffling about II o'clock but that it was none of his affair and that he had gone to sleep again. The bloody tracks led up to the pool table and the murderer must have gone right up to the sleeping man. The tracks showed that the murderer had worn rubber soled shoes. Simon Brady, a night watchman gave the police a valuable clue later. He said:
 I saw man come out of the hall about one o'clock. He was about twenty-one or two years old and short and heavy built. He wore a dark Derby hat which was crushed in. He was nervous and I watched him. At First avenue he was joined by five other men. They talked a while and then walked to Second avenue and the man who came out of the doorway walked into soda fountain. He ask ed permission to wash his hands. came up close and saw that his hands were bloody
 The police believe that the woman was dragged into the hallway and att tackled and that she died while fight ing for her honor.

RICE FAMINE MAY DEVELOP FROM
 GAMBLING BAN
(speciaI from United Press)

Shanghai, July 6.-In an attempt to abolish gambling in Cochih-China, the governor of that colony has caused what may develop into a rice famine in one of the greatest producing coun- tries in the world. according to word received here today. Some months ago the French government of Cochin China decided to rut an end to gamb- ling which was carried on extensively the rice figuring prominently as stakes.
 The natives are very poor and some of them are in a starving condition. Acting under the direction of their of ficialS who want to prevent gambling, the natives have formed a boycott on the Chinese merchants and will not handle the rice won from them over the gambling boards and which is now stored in the granaries Of Saigon wait ing to be husked and put on the mar ket. This will affect the transporta- tion of rice to the Philippines and Southern China. The average expor- tation of rice from Cochin-China is over 1000. 900 tons annually. But all of this amount is sent to Hong Kong for distribution to Southern China.
 The boycott in Cochin-China is fast becoming strained and the price of rice in the Philippines and Southern China will be increased this year.

szAzA" ATTRACTS
 LARGE HOUSES
Miss Fleming at Her Best in Role in f Which Lighter Phases of Life Alter.
 nate With Tragedy.

An ideal day, ideal weather, coupled with the fact that a very important production had been advertized,,
 brought two capacity houses to~Poli's popular playhouse yesterday. .tZaza,
 one of the many masterpieces from
 the pen of that author-manager, Da-z
 vid Belasco, was the bill and as pro-
 duced by the stock company, scored a
 decided. hit. The dramatic story of
 'Zaza'$ is one that appeals to one
 and all and is so simply told that any, child can understand it, and to the
 elders it teaches a lesson well worthy of careful thought. "Zaza'' is pop
 ular concert hall favorite, petted and
 made much of by the public, and
 while she had many adnairars, up to
 the opening of this story she had re- thought to any one man to love-. T love them all 7 She.waS wont to say,
 until one day Bernard Dufrene, a constant attendant on her performan- ces. attracted her attention for the reason that he paid no attention to
 her or her charms This angered Zaza and she, laid plans to win him. She lays a wager that when she to take her out to supper after the performance on the evening they meet. They meet and she wins her wager but at the same time loses her heart and Ia1lS madly In love with Dufrene, who also becomes very much infatuated with her. All goes well until Zaza discovers that in Paris there is an other woman. Bent upon revenge she starts for Paris to confront the other woman. Arriving there she finds that Dufrene has wife and child. While suffering greatly by her discovery her Womanhood, and her strong will con quer and revenge is lost sight of. Miss Alice Fleming in the name part part created and made. famous by Mrs. Leslie Carter, made grand Zaza. In the lighter scenes she was. light hearted, happy and played these scenes in a most happy manner. In the stronger emotional scenes she was at her best. In all the various moods this wonderful character pos sesses, Miss Fleming seemed at home
 and showed that she has made careful study of this part. MT. Thee had the role of Dufrene and gave a. most excellent performance. While the part of Dufrene is not a, strong one, it calls for careful and consistent read ing, which is always. to be found in MT Ince's work. Some of the fine new scenery from the Poli private stu dio was shown for the first time. Za- ga looks like a big winner if the weather man is kind. but then no matter about that, for Polls is al ways cool

COUNCIL TO CONSIDER
 SEAYIEW AVE. LAYOUT

At it's meeting tonight it is expect ed that the Common Council will act upon the petition of James A. Price to build livery stable in Union Square. There is much opposition to the petition by property owners of the neighborhood of the proposed sta ble. The petition for the layout of Seaview avenue to the water will probably come up. The Lake Torpe- do Boat Company is said to believe that the land over which, the street would extend is their land. The mem bers of the Miamogue yacht club, who are active in favor of the extension. say that the street was originally laid out to the water.

THE CYCLONE.
How This Wonderful and Destruetiv

TOW ms Wonderfui ana OeStructIve
 Air Fury Is Formed.
 To get an idea of a cyclones forma tion imagine large circular pan or tub with quite a large hole in the middle of the bottom. With this hole plugged, fill the vessel with water then draw out the plug and watch There is first rush of water from all directions toward the hole and a turbulent effort to get through; then the water surface above begins to sink and swirl, the particles gradually circling around and around and rush. ing, ever faster, toward the center. At last there is actually hollow space through the center, around which all the water in the tub is whirling slug gishly near the rim. buE with more and more violent rapidity toward the mid dle until it rushes downward through the bottom. Now, if that water were air you would be watching a little cyclone turned upside down, for the air rushes upward instead of down ward.
 In the cradle of cyclones during the summer months, when the land and the water grow hotter and hotter be- cause of the longer days than nights. a layer of air, hot, light and full of vapor, Is for a time held down by denser air above it. Restless, expand ing, tumultuous, it moves about like a beast at bay until a thinner place in the air above is found; then up 1t mad ly rushes, and into the vacuum left be- hind the lower atmosphere hastens from all directions, pushing and twisting and pouring upward until it has fallen into a regular spinning around com mon center.
 The cyclone, once formed. rushes away from the tropics toward the pole and begins its career of destruction, bruising, wrecking and sinking the luckless ships which happen to be in its path. More and more of the sur rounding atmosphere is drawn into the whir1 until the storm often covers an area nearly 1000 miles in diameter. Sometimes it filings itself upon our At lantic coast and tears fiercely through forests, fields and cities. Then, again, it sweeps away across the broad ocean and dashes itself upon the coasts of Europe. Once in awhile it so adroitly avoids the land that we never know it has passed until ships come in torn and broken.-St. Nicholas.
