MUTILATED BODY
REVEALS MURDER
Two Hunters Find H9adIeSS
Corpse Near Reading.
POSSIBLY A PHILADELPHIAN
Head, Arms and Chest Are Missing
and No Clue to ldentity-Was Dead
Probably Two Months.

A mysterious murder was discovered
by gunners on the Neversink noun
tain, near Reading, Pa.
The body Of a man, with the head,
arms and chest missing was found,
partly covered by leaves The body
had been completely and cleanly cut
through as by dissecting knife just
below the juncture OF the arms and
the trunk.
Where the upper part Of the body is

constitute a mystery on which the
whole efforts Of the Reading police
and the Berks county coroner's office
are directed.
The man apparently had been dead
two months, and il seems probable
that he was resident OF Philadelphia.
Copies Of Philadelphia papers OF Aug.
80 We're found in his clothing, and a
hat lying nearby bears the trade mark
OF a Philadelphia store. The rest Of
the clothing was unmarked.
ounners Find Body.
George Kemp and Edward Blnga-
man both residents of Reading, are
the gunners who made the discovery.
They were out for a days shooting on
NeYersink mountain and had wandered
In quest OF game near Black Bear.
There, almost covered by leaves, they
stumbled across the body mutilated
and badly decomposed
The gunners were quick to realize
that Il of mn q au nd hr1--
Tiedly got into communication with
the Reading police authorities. Coro-
ner Wagner and detectives immediate
ly went to the scene and searched for
evidence a sto the man S identity and a
clue to his slayer
Their search was rewarded only by
the finding of the black derby hat
about twenty feet distant from the
body. They were bafled for the time
being by the failure to find the arms,
upper part Of the trunk. and especially
the head
If the head were found, they felt,
the identity OF the man could be estab-
hshed, and then the motive for the
murder could be uncovered With this
to work from the detectives were san
guine Of their ability to solve the mys- [
terry Of the tragedy.
Coroner Wagner expressed the be- j
lief after careful examination Of the f
condition Of the body, that the man f
had been dead fully two months, indi-
Gated by the fact that the newspapers S
found were dated Aug 30 {
In addition TO the derby hat part i.
Of white shirt also was found, but d
i bore no mark The rest of the mans
clothing consisted of navy blue serge
coat. with vest to match. and gray

sentiment for him that the convention
would not listen to a refusal After
MS nomination 1t was still hoped that
the Improvement in his health would
permit his acceptance, but after due
consideration Major Walton yielded to
the advice OF his physician and mott
he'd the committee OF his decision. In
casting about for man to fill the va
cancy, the committee considered not
only availability, but ability to meet
the arduous demands OF the office. In
Mr.. Calfee is united many elements of
strength. He is n successful man of
affairs, large tax payer, experienced
In public matters. man whose integ-
rity Is unquestionable, and who meas
ures up TO the Importance OF the of

missioner. Mr.. Calfees large acquain-
lance and extensive kinship makes
him an available man from the view
point of vote-getting. He is deserved

THE RESULT IN MAINE.

The Democratic landslide in Maine
indicates that the people are growing
tired OF bossism. The regime of Sen
ator Hale had become distasteful
Hale had stood with Aldrich. Cannon
and the rest OF the bosses. and for
the interests as against masses. The
result was victory for the Demo
Gratis.
The people are growing tired OF ma
chine politics. Even the rock-ribbon
Republican State OF Maine has given
the professional political boss a stern
rebuke. Maine is not Democratic
State today. 1t is as surely Republi-
can as Pennsylvania, but the masses
OF the patty saw no way of Kidding
the state OF the Republican machine
than voting the Democratic ticket.
1t is a healthy sign to see the great
masses of the Republican party deter
mined TO throw off the yoke OF boss
ism.
The insurgent element in this coun-
ty does not mean that those Republi-
cans who refuse to support the Repub-
lican machine ticket are Democrats.
1t indicates that great many OF tho
party are determined to throw OF the
political machine which now has tho
party throttled, and unwilling to sup
port the machine ticket imposed up
