RIVERSIDE DRIVE
MURDER BATTLES
GOTHAM POLICE
Evidently Refined Woman VIC
tim of Mysterious Crime in
Fashionable Apartment.

NEW YORK, Oct THE mysterious
murder of an unidentified woman of re-
fined appearance in a fashionable
apartment house on Riverside drive
today is puzzling the police as few re-
cent crimes have done. The woman's
body was found in the courtyard of
the house and gave every indication
that the victim had been literally
beaten to death.
Face and body We're covered with
bruises and lacerations, and one thumb
was bitten nearly off. Her clothing was
of the best quality, and markings upon
it showed that ii had been purchased
at fashionable shops, but there was
nothing to give clue to her identity.
The negro elevator boy of the apart
nlent house, Clarence Holcomb, who
said he had admitted the woman to the
building at an early hour today was
arrested and held as a suspicious per-
son. The police believe the woman was
murdered in the bathroom of vacant
apartment on the ground floor and her
body pushed from the window into the
courtyard.

locked on Amendment Which
House of Deputies Passed.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 1T was otii-
eially announced today that the House
of Bishops had by one vote rejected
the constitutional amendment for the
appointment of suffragan bishops,
which was approved by the House of
Deputies yesterday. conference. COM
mittee of both houses may be ap-
pointed to endeavor to reach an agree
ment by which the matter can again be
brought before the trieDnial eonven-
tion of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
The rejection of the amendment by
the House of Bishops was a source Of
pleasure to a committee Of negro cler-
gymen representing the conference OF
church workers among colored people,
who had presented to the general con-
vention a memorial declaring that they
wero opposed to the suffragan bishop
proposal and in favor of the creation
of missionary bishops of the negro race
The committee declared that If the
suffragan idea is finally adopted they
would have no representation in the
general convention, but that if their
plan is favorably passed upon it would
give the colored churches their own
bishops and full representation in the
general convention.
A joint session of the general con-
vention was held today and representa-
tives of various committees were heard.
Following conferences of diocesan
officers that had been in progress for
the last two days, the woman's aux
iliary held its first general session to-
day.

wing palm branches and apparently
pointing. He called the attention OF
Langford to the figures, and suggest
ed that the inhabitants were trying to
show an opening through the barrier.
Following the indicated direction
presently smooth water was discov-
cred. LangfOrd headed the boat for
it. The men bent to their oars, and
soon parted the quiet waters Of the
lagoon. The two figures stood in
plain view upon the beach still too far
for those in the boat t make out who
they were. Langford could only see
that one was taller than the other;
that both were dressed in some sort
of loose tunic that fell TO the knees
and left the arms bare. He was dis
appointed. and yet hopeful. The sus-
pense vas almost unbearable. The
men were doing their utmost, seeing
the anxiety in his face, their ut
most was too slow for the impatient
man.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Long Search.

Mr.. Valentine Arthur Langford was
YEARLY pacing the quarter deck of his
magnificent yacht, the Southern Cross.
Mr.. LangfOrd was an intensely dis
appointed and embittered man. He
had made two ventures which, by a
stretch of language in one case at least,
could be called matrimonial, and both
of them had resulted in disaster. Death
OPPORTUNITY had relieved him of one
wife; the other who had stood in the
place of the former without the legal
ceremony or the spiritual benedictiOn
had vanished under circumstances so
mysterious that he had no idea wheth-
er she was alive or dead. On a certain
night some three years ago he had a
dim remembrance that he had be-
haved like a brute to a woman. His
remembrance was only dim as to de-
tails. 1t was entirely clear as to the
fact.
What had happened as a result of
his conduct he could not clearly state.
The next morning the crew had found
him lying insensible on the cabin floor
with n fractured skull. The woman
was gone, also the power boat which
had trailed aStern of the yacht in the
pleasant weather. Such was his phySi-
cal condition that when he was not
unconscious, he was deliriOus. He had
been able to give 40 coherent account
of affairs and equally unable to give
any directions as to the future move
ments of the yacht, which had been
bound nowhere in particular upon a
pleasure cruise.
Tho old Coilin ON q Sfor orI on-AoJ-
much distressed by the situation and
the emergency in which he found him
self suddenly plunged, decided that
his best course, in fact, his only
course, was to get back to civilization
M a doctor as 500 as possible. He
had instantly put the yacht about and
headed for the nearest land where he
might hope to get suitable care for his
terribly i'll young employer. He
pushed the yacht to the utmost speed
and in three week dropped anchor in
Honolulu, just in time to save the
young mans life. Indeed, for a long
time 1t was ouch and go as to wheth-
er his life could be saved at all. and
it was not until nearly a year had
elapsed before the Southern Cross
sailed for San Francisco with a weak
and shaky, but convalescent owner, on
her quarter deck.
The departure of Katharine Brenton
with Valentine Langford had made a
great sensation, but it was nothing to
h sensation which ragged when it be-
came known that Valentine Langford
had returned without her. She was
a woman of too much Importance, she
had played too large a part in the af-
fairs of the world, civilization had
manifested too much interest In her.
to allow her to drop out of its sight
without at least making an effort to
find her. The position Of Mr.. Valen-
tine Langford became Interestingly
difficult in the fac of a storm of in
Quiry. Mr.. Langford's previous mar
riage was, fortunately for him, un
known, but the world had had a com
plete and adequate idea Of the terms
of the union which had been entered
upon so blithely between Langford and

market, exactly where our own sur
plus wheat must go to find the worlds
market that fixes the price Of every
bushel of wheat grown in the United
States.
Again, this wheat tariff wal is not
intact. 1t does not keep out foreign
wheat. A breach is made in the wall
by the drawback provisions OF the
law. Our millers can import all the
wheat they want practically free, to
be made up into flour for export. Our
packers can import all the cattle and
hogs they can get practically free II
they export the meat products OF
these animals. Our tanners can i'm
port all the hides they want for ex
port as leather. They do an immense
business of this nature. In the face
Of these facts ii is inconceivable TO
tie raiser should believe that he gets
any benefit from the tariff on wheat,
cattle. hogs, hides. and so forth. The
tariff baron offers this poor principle
to the farmer and cattle raiser for
their support of ais extortionate out
rage upon the masses of our people.
The future Is full of hope also be-
cause the crowded inhabitants OF our
cities. including the vast numbers Of
our working people, at last are awake
to the truth that the tariff baron IL

TARIFF BARON WILL GIVE
You Anything, Only Let Him Con
tinue His Robbery.

The truth is, the tariff baron will
give you anything you want, provid-
ed, always. you leave him alone N
the enjoyment of his monopoly He
will compromise with you and try to
appease you on all other questions.
He will give you almost any kind of
a financial policy you want. The one
he has given us is a sham and a
curse to us-The Iidicule of the civil
lied world. 1t causes our secretary
of the treasury in every adverse fl
nancial wind that blows to get down
on his keens and beg Wall street for
help, and continually in return for its
help Wall street demands an issuance
of bonds. The tariff barOns will give
money-Out of your pOcket-to try to
navigate any dry creek in the land.
He will give you-your-money law
ishly for public buildings. He will
tickle your vanity, humor your whims.
and crafty your pride and take ad-
vantage of your seIfshness by the
use of your money in your treasury.
All achievements of the past, due to
your toll and sacrifice; all the prog
ress of the future, due to the toll and
sacrifice of the generations to come,
he cunningly, with eloquent lips
claims for himself. The people only
want the enforcement of their laws
the rule of justice, and the over
throw of special privilege. The tar
| if exactions extorted from the people
| of this country are simply an out
rage. They constitute a violation OF
| both sound moral and economic law
They are the basis of graft and cor
ruption. They are the groundwork OF
far too large superstructure OF
doubt, suspicion. lack OF confidence
and loss of faith in our public men
and institutions. This cursed edifce
casts its ominOus shadow across the
pathway Of our future. This tariff
system must be destroyed.
