ASKS WASHINGTON TO HELP.
Newark Police Trying to Identify
Body of Murdered Man.

Michael Corbitt, chief of police of New
ark, N. j., today asked Maj. Sylvester to
have the Washington police assist in an
effort to identify the body of a man who
was murdered in that city the latter part
Of last month.
This mans identification" says Chief
Corbitt, may lead to the apprehension
of the party or parties responsible for his
death.
The unidentified man was shot, and his
body was found in a box car. 1t is
thought he was about thirty five years
old He had black hair slightly mixed
with gray. Three Of his lower teeth were
out and three of his upper teeth were
gold-capped.
Chief Corbitt explained that there was
a large. round scar on the right leg be-
low the knee. a faint tattoo dot below
the right elbow and the--second toe of his
right foot was overlapped by two other
toes.

ROADS RAISE CLASS RATES.
Commission Gets Notice of Increase
to Pacific Coast.

Notice of an increase in class rates
from eastern group points to Pacific
coast terminals have been filed with
the interstate commerce commission by
the transcontinental railroads. They
will become effective November 1 and
Is. In group A of the new proposed
rates is included with the District of
Columbia, Delaware, Maine. Maryland,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire. New
Jersey. New York. with the exception
Of a portion near Buffalo; Pennsylva-
MIA. except the Pittsburg territory;
Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and
west Virginia north Of the Norfolk and
Western railroad
The increase in rates in this terri
tory is from So per hundred pounds to
s37O in first-class freight, with pro-
portional increases in nine other
classes.
The carriers consider the new rates
as a sort of readjustment, growing out
of the intermountain cases decided some
time ago by the commission.

TESTS WITH ARMY BALLOONS
Experiments Will Be Made by Of
ficers at Omaha.

Further experiments with observation
balloons are to be made by the army at
Omaha. Neb. The signal service Is well
satisfied with the results that have been
attained in aviation this year. but there
is a big balloon plant at Omaha. and
Capt. Charles de Forest Chandler and
Mai. Reber of the Signal Corps have been
ordered there for further experiments.
It is thought that much valuable work
can be done with captive balloons at altf-
tudes greater than have been heretofore
used.
The War Department has been expert
menting with a mechanical windlass
mounted on wheels. something like q

CINE. With this arrangement balloons
ana kites can be managed much more
easily than by hand.
