FIND GIRLS HACKED BODY
Searchers Discover Horribly Mutt
lated Remains Buried in Cellar
of Deserted House.

Detroit, Mich.-A Detroit News
special from Goderich, Ont, says:
Elizabeth Anderson, 16, regarded as
one of the most beautiful girls of this
city, was found murdered in a de-
serted house on the outskirts of town.
Her father, Wesley Anderson, led the
searching party that discovered the
girls body. Miss Anderson disap-
peared in the morning shortly after
being seen in conversation with a
stranger. The body was found in a
dark corner of cellar buried under
pile of clothing. The young wom-
ans throat was cut from ear to ear,
the wound having been made appar-
emily with heavy knife or possibly
an ak and her body was horribly
mutilated.

ORDERS SUGAR
TRUST DISSOLVED
ATTORNEY GENERAL SENDS IN
STRUCTloNS TO FEDERAL
LAWYER IN NEW YORK.
ACTION WILL Be FILED IN SHORT Time
Petition Charges Combine With Vio-
lation of the Sherman Antitrust
Law-Action Is Similar to
Standard OIL Case.

Washington, d. C.-Orders from
the attorney general to District Attor-
ney Wise in New York to smash the
sugar trust have gone out and the ac-
tion will be filed there within week.
An amended and much shorter petit
tion, though much more comprehensive
in its charges, has been prepared
after conference between the attor-
ney general, District Attorney Wise,
Special Attorney Stimson and Mr..
McReynolds. 1t charges the sugar
trust with violation of the Sherman
antitrust law and the court is asked
to dissolve the trust and issue an in
junction restraining the American
Sugar Refining Co. of New Jersey from
voting the shares of the subsidiary
companies pending the redistribution
of these shares among their original
owners.
The action will be in all respects
similar to that which resulted in the
smashing of the Standard Oil Co. in
the United States circuit courts and in
general way it resembles the action
against the tobacco trust. 1t is learned
that an investigation into the sugar
trust develops that all three of the
concerns have been organized and
were operated along parallel lines. AS
in the case of the Standard, the sugar
trust has operated through rebates,
free storage facilities, secret agree
ments and criminal methods for crush
ing out competition. 1t went through
an earlier period of its existence like
the oil trust, resulting in being over
thrown by the courts; whereupon, like
the oil trust, it organized holding
company under New Jersey law,
which has since enjoyed a practical
monopoly of the sugar refining busi-
ness in the United States.
In the cane sugar business the
monopoly of the trust is complete.
Difficulties were encountered in cor
nering all the beet sugar interests,
however, and, because of the compare
tive economy with which beet sugar
plants can be constructed and the
rapid spread of beet sugar cultivation,
the trust has found it difficult to OBJ
tain complete mastery of this industry.

SHOOTS, Then K!LLsSELE
RICH MAN WOUNDS WOMAN BE.
FORE TAKING HIS LIFE.
Tragedy Is Climax to Love Chase
Which Has Extended Through
Many Cities.

Cleveland, O.-Burton w. Yates
act of suicide in the county jail
here after having shot and seriously
wounding Mrs. Iva Singer beautiful
22-year-old woman, was the climax OF
a love chase which had extended
through many cities. Yates is said to
have persisted in following the young
woman around the country. Yates
was a multi-millionaire of Detroit.
Lavish expenditure of money for auto.
mobiles and other amusements is said
to have been made by him in his WOO
ing. At Whites cafe in Rocky River
his pursuit of the young woman came
to a sudden end when he shot her
twice. She is in Lakewood hospital
but is expected to recover. Yates
committed suicide in the county jail
by hanging himself with handker-
chief shortly after being taken into
custody.
Fred Singer, the young woman's
husband salesman in mems clothing
store here for the last ten days, has
not seen his wife in the hospital, and,
according to friends, will not be
reconciled to her. Unknown to his
parents he married Iva Smith in Bat
tie Creek, Mich, two and half years
ago. His family here still uniformed,
he was separated from his wife last
year, and lately came home. Mrs.
Singer followed him here two weeks
ago to make up with him, but could
not prevail upon him to forget their
differences. Early this week Yates,
who had known her in Detroit, ap-
peared in Cleveland, registered at The
Hollenden under an assumed name
and as coming from Indianapolis, and
remained here. Yates and the young
woman are believed to have been au'
tomobile riding and to have ended up
in Rocky River, where controversy
between them and the first half OF
the tragedy occurred.

SIXTEEN DIE IN BAD
RAILROAD WRECK
ELEVEN ARE HURT WHEN PAS
sENGER TRAIN GOES THROUGH
OPEN BRIDGE.
COACHES PLUNGE INTO RAGING STREAM
Dead and Injured Are Found Down
Rivulet for Half Mile-only
One Pullman Stays on
the Track.

Clayton, Kan.-Sixteen known to
be dead, probably others killed
and their bodies washed away
and II injured is the result of terri
ble-railroad wreck which took place
on the Rock Island railroad two miles
east of this place when fast passen-
ger train ran through an open bridge
into 20 feet of raging water. Nine OF
the dead have been identified while
seven are as yet unknown. Yet others
may have been washed away by the
torrent. The stream which wrought
the destruction is at ordinary times
merely a rivulet, but with its banks
80 feet below the level of the railroad
bridge. Early the night before tre.
mendous rain fell and the ordinarily
dry bed was soon filled to the brim
with wild torrent. The bridge itself
was broken up and carried away.
While the storm yet ragged the fast
Rock Island passenger train from Kan
sas City to Denver, travelling at a 40
mile an hour speed, rushed headlong
into the water filled ravine. The loco
motive, tender and baggage car disap-
peared entirely under the water and
the engineer, fireman, baggageman
and conductor were all instantly
killed. The smoker, which stopped on
the brink of the stream, was tele-
scoped by a chair car and many of
the passengers killed outright. Others
were thrown into the stream and
drowned.
With the exception of the last Pull.
man the entire train left the track
and the cars and coaches were piled
in one big heap or rolled into the ditch
alongside the rails. The little stream
lost it's water as rapidly as it had
found it and in the afternoon the ra
vine was practically dry again. Lying
on its side in the center was the loco
motive. Piled across the cab was the
baggage car just where it had fallen
when the leap from the track was
made. Down stream for half mile
the dead and injured were found ant
removed to the improvised hospitals
Nine of these dead were identified by
letters and otherwise. Seven are with
out Identification marks.
Members of the Topeka baseball
team were occupants of the Pullman
but all escaped injury.
To the GOODNESS of Engineer Pickin
baugh, who lost his life, rs attributed
the saving of the lives of the 100 WHIT
escaped. 1t is certain that he coulC
have jumped and saved himself, bu
he remained at his post and did every
thing possible to prevent the train
running into the ditch.

CARS MEET,42 DIE
Disastrous Wreck at kingsIand, Ind,
Causes Injury to Score Of
Others.

Ft. Wayne, Ind.-The most dis
astrous wreck in the history of in
terurban electric railroading in the
middle west occurred near Kingsland,
Ind, and claimed a total of AZ dead
and a score injured, at least six of
whom will probably die. Most Of the
victims were pleasure seekers from
Bluffton and Warren, Ind, en- route to
the Fort Wayne fair. Twenty-Five of
them were dead before the dust and
splinters of the wrecked cars had set
tied. Others died in the wreck before
they could be released and three ex-
pired on the operating tables in st.
Joseph hospital in Fort Wayne. The
disaster was the result of head on
collision on the Bluffton division of
the Wabash Valley Traction Co.'s line.
A special car of the Indiana Traction
Co., empty, and southbound met
northbound limited of the Wabash
Valley line loaded to the steps on a
curve a mile outside of Kingsland.
The loaded car was proceeding at
speed of Is miles an hour until Just
before the collision. The southbound
car was making 80 miles an hour.
The curve was a long sweeping one
and neither car appears to have
slowed up. Just before the fatal i'm.
pact the passenger car seemed to take
on speed. The cars met with crash
at the point of the curve which is
framed in thick woods. The south
bound car was so much heavier de
spite it's lack of passenger weight that
1t divided the lighter car as with q
knife and ploughed through to within
six feet of the rear platform. Then
the heavy car seemed to fall apart
from the force of the collision. There
was no pile of wreckage such as is
left after a railroad wreck. The
northbound car was in splinters and
the man killing limited fiattened
wreck. It's windows and their frames
went out as from an explosion and the
heavy roof crumpled down on thu
tangled seats.

UNIONS TO ENTER POLITICS
Four Railway Brotherhoods Will Ask
Statements From Candidates
for Office.

New York City.-Cleveland pres
emily will become the center of
political movement representing the
30S,000 members of the four great
railway unions of the east, whose
delegates voted unanimously to take
concerted action in national and state
politics. This, the first step into poll
tics of these great organizations, will
be directed from the Ohio city by
chiefs of the unions. It will take the
direction of sending out a series of
eight questions to state and national
candidates, particularly to candidates
for the state legislatures and house
of representatives, asking for defini-
tions of their attitude on the univer-
sal adoption of safety appliances and
an employers liability law-where
such discussions already exist-com-
pany pensions for superannuated en-
ployes, hours of labor and other mat
ters of like interest.

TELLS DETAILS OF CRIME
NURSE RELATES STORY OF
TEACHERS AWFUL DEATH.
confesses to Authorities How Doctor
Performed Criminal Operation ard
Then Buried Woman's Body.

San Francisco, Cal.-Marie Mes
serschmidt, the young nurse who
is being held In the city prison as an
accomplice of DR.. Robert Thompson,
alias Grant, who is charged with per-
forming criminal operation on Eva
Swan, young school teacher of
Paso Robes, whose hacked and acid
eaten body was unearthed from the
dark cellar of a vacant house at 32f
Eureka street broke down and con-
fessed all the grewsome details of
the operation and of the girls linger-
ing death ten days later from blood
poisoning. The nurse told all the
details of the wretched story Of how
Eva Swan was brought to Doctor
Thompson's office, of the operation,
which was performed on April 16, Of
the girls coming back for treatment
on April II and Is and of her coming
to remain permanently on April 20,
when she remained under the NAL
practitioners care until her body was
carried out in the trunk to be buried
in the dark cellar. The nurse also
told how the girl lay on bed in one
of the apartments in the rear of Doc
tor Thompsons office for ten days,
conscious only at short intervals, and
how she finally died alone in the
night in darkened room, the body
being discovered in the morning by
the doctor, who had been occupying
adjoining apartments with Miss Mes
serschmidt.
Miss Messerschmidt said the dead
girls face was hideously disfgured
by blood poisoning and that although
she was used to distressing scenes
she could hardly look at the girl as
she lay there alone with no one to
care for her. Miss Messerschmidt
then detailed how the doctor jammed
the girls body into the trunk, which
had been provided for the purpose
about a week prior to the girls death,
as the doctor knew the case was
hopeless and had provided against all
emergencies. The nurse said the doc
tor then consulted with Willie Sack,
and that they rented cottage in Eu-
reka street, conveyed the body there
in the dead of night and buried it.

BLOODY FIGHT AT FESTIVAL
TWO Men Fatally Injured and Dozen
Others Seriously Hurt When
Rival Factions Clash.

Laurel, Del.-Two men were proba-
bly, fatally injured and a dozen
others seriously hurt in a fight at
Hearns Cross Roads two miles east
of Laurel. The more seriously in
jured were John Thomas Williams,
56, and Rowland Stockley, 46. The
fight, which was one of the bloodiest
that ever took place in this section,
started at festival at st. Paul's
Methodist Protestant church. Stock
ley has been paying attention to a
girl at Hearns Cross Roads and won
the enmity of youths of the latter
place. Recently he called on the girl
and was chased out of the village. 1t
was as a result of this the rival fac
tions met at the festival and fought
out their differences.

TO PROTECT COUNTRYS GOLD
Elaborate Electrical Alarm System Be-
ing Installed in United States
Treasury in Washington.

Washington, d. C.-When the ex-
pert electricians get through with
their part of the work in the altera-
tions now being made in the United
States treasury it will be mechanically
impossible for an intruder to lift the
latch on a door or touch the knobs on
a vault without setting battery of
electric gongs ringing all over the
building. When the big doors of the
vaults swing shut after each days
business, the system will become oper-
ative automatically and when the
doors close on the clerks another set
of alarms will be set. The electric
wires all center in the watch room,
which is equipped like an armorer's
chamber, and where guards are on
duty day and night.

AVIATOR FLIES ACROSS ALPS
Daring Peruvian Seriously Hurt When
Machine Is Wrecked, Knocking
Him Out of Big Prize.

Domodossola, Italy.-To George Cha
vez, the Peruvian aviator, be-
longs the honor of being the first to
fly across the Alps. The daring feat
was accomplished in an attempt to
with the prize of $4,000 offered by
the Italian Aviation society of Milan
for fight from Brig, Switzerland, to
Milan. Chavez, however, was unable
to complete the trip, having sustained
painful injuries when he alighted here
after making 26 miles. A gust OF
wind caught and overturned the mon.
oplane. 1t fell heavily, as he was
nearing the earth, carrying the avia,
tor beneath it. Chavez was pinned
under the motor and seriously hurt
The machine was ruined.
