DOGS AROUND HEADLESS MAN.
Body in Woods May Be Andrew
Tompko. Black Hand Victim.

HAZLETON. Pa. March 4.-Surrounded
by q number Of dogs. the headless body
of an unidentified man was found today
in the woods on the outskirts of this city.
The stomach and lungs were missing, and
whether they were cut out or eaten by
the dogs the police have not yet been
able to determine.
From the appearance of the body It
had lain in the snow-covered woods for
about a week. The man was apparently
about thirty-five years old. The hands
were soft, indicating that he had not
been q resident of any one of the min
ing communities in this section Of the
coal regions.
The police feel sure the stranger was
murdered and are inclined to believe he
was the victim of one of those mysterious
black hand bands that infest some sec
tions of the anthracite coal fields
The police announced tonight that the
man may have been Andrew Tompko Of
West Hazleton, who has been missing
since February Is. The skull containing
a fracture was picked up late this after
noon some distance from where the
body was found. Police working on the
theory that 1t was a black hand crime are
searching for evidence that may show
the man was killed in or near a saloon
close to the city limits and the body car
ried into the woods.

|NTERSOC|ETY DEBATE
IS WON BY NEEDHAM
Judges Decide They Have Best
of Argument on Initiative
and Referendum.

The second intersociety debate Of the
undergraduate body Of George Washing
ton University was won last night by
the Needham Society. defending the
negative side Of the question. that the
adoption Of the initiative and referen-
dunn as q part of the legislative system
Of our several states is not desirable.
The two honor men selected by the
judges were William r. Fitch, member
OF the Needham Society. and Louis B.
LIE Duo Of the Columbian Society. The
debate was held in. the Law School,
New Masonic Temple.
The teams were composed as follows:
Columbian Society. AFRO L. Barber. Louis
B. lie Duo and Norris L. Bowen; Needham
Society. Clarence E. Deyo. William R.
Fitch and Paul E. Bradley. Alternates
were Charles V. Hilton and Stanley S.
Waite.
Views Of Winners.
The arguments resolved themselves
about the advisability of permitting the
voting public to have direct voice IN
the passage Of contemplated laws rather
than conhning this power solely to leg
islattve bodies, as the accredited repre-
sentatives Of the voters. The negative
speakers declared legislative conditions
were such that the initiative and refer
endum were essential to check what they
described as rampant enactment Of laws
IRRESPECTIVE of sectional, state or federal
interests.
1t was necessary. they argued, to pre-
vent notorious catering by legislative
bodies to the great Industrial and f1nan-
cial interests of the country.
The affirmative team characterized the
doctrine as the product Of theoretical
students Of government and impractl-
cable throughout. In support OF their
arguments they cited the failure of the
initiative and referendum in Switzerland
and a number of the states. notably
Maine and New Hampshire. It was a
legalized form of mob rule, they held,
and came SO close to socialistic tenden-
cies as to threaten the security of the
judiciary. The ideal government, they
argued, lay between mob rule or mob
dictation and despotism. The Initiative
and referendum. they declared. was Tar
from filling this missing link. II such IT
were, in the present states government
