BODY DISSOLVED
WITH SCALDING
Murderer May Have At
tempted Concealment.

New York, June 4-Whether or not q
process of scalding played a part in the
dissolution of the body of Mrs. Lillian
Scheib. found in a bathtub in the tene-
ment at OIL East Seven:y-eighth street,
last Monday, is one of the questions
which those who have the case in charge
are considering.
tntils Prof. John Larkin, Of Colum-
bia, makes a report on the makeup of
the liquid found in the tub, II will not
be known whether there was any acid
used
Meanwhile. the theory has been ad-
vanced that the murderer-presuming that
the woman was murde red-tried to scald
the flesh from the bones as a first step
toward the disposition Of the body. Such
a proceeding. it is believed, might &C
count for the separation Of scalp, hair
and nails from the body.
1t also might furnish a reason for the
purchase of a wash boiler such as the
husband Of the woman Is declared to have
bought and to have returned some time
later.
From the position in which the body
was found the police have come to the
belief that the woman was not killed in
the tub and perhaps not in the bath
room. but that the body was carried
there after her death.
One theory that has been presented to
them and to the District Attorneys
Office is that the boiler was bought with
the idea Of hermetically sealing up the
body in It, Plaster of Paris found IN
the partment, the police believe, lends
color to this theory.

Wednesday. Subpoenas will then be
issued for sugar trust officials, and pub
lie hearings will be begun the latter part
Of this week or early in the following
week.
According to Representative Hardwick,
OF Georgia, chairman Of the sugar COM
mittee, the investigation will be in full
swing by Monday, June II. and hearings
will continue in Washington as long as
Congress is in session. The committee
will hold sessions in New York, but the
dates Of these hearings have not yet
been fixed. The chances are that the
committee will not go to New York until
the fall.
Democratic leaders look to the sugar
committee to disclose a lot Of interesting
Information. They are hopeful, Of course.
that Chairman Hardwick and his Demo-
cratic colleagues will be able to show
that Republican administrations have not
been as diligent In looking into the affairs
Of the sugar company as the circum-
stances warrant.

Reddjustment of Mexican
Troops Being Made.

Ell Paso, June Awhile Francisco I.
Madero was receiving the plaudits OF
the Mexican people today on his way to
the Mexican capital, Abram Gonzales,
governor Of Chihuahua took few plaud-
its himself by accepting an invitation Of
Americans to make an excursion as their
guest to CIoudcroft, N. Mex. a sum-
mer resort near El Paso.
In the absence of the governor one OF
the keno games opened at Juarez and an
American saloonkeeper opened his door
every time an American from Ell Paso
raped three times and showed the
proper look Of longing in his face. The
usual bull fight also took place in Juarez
Gov. Gonzales has received information
that it will be best for him not to come
to the city of Chihuahua to take charge
of his Office until all federal troops have
been removed South to Mexico City,
hence. although the legislature has de-
clared him elected. he will remain on the
border several days.
1t is expected to have the National Rail-
road repaired through from El Paso to
Mexico City in another day or two then
the troops will be withdrawn from Chi
huahua. This will practically rid the
states Of Sonora, Sinaloa and Chihuahua
Of federal soldiers, most of whom will
be mustered out of the service at Mexico
City.
Gov. Mayortano reached Hermosillo to-
day and took charge OF the state Of
Sonora and Manuel Bonilla has been in
stalled as governor of Sinaloa, Mayortano
succeeding Gen. Torres, who is now in
Los Angeles, and Bonilla succeeding De-
gero Redo. reported executed.
Many Of the insurrecto generals are to
be retained in the service of the Mexi-
can army. Gen. Jose de Ia Luz Blanco
row in command Of Juarez. is to be re-
tanned as a general of rurales. Gen.
Jose Perfecto Lomeli, who quit a lieu
tenant colonelcy in the federal army for
ar insurrecto generalship, is to succeed
Gen. Torres as military commander of
Sonora and will be made a brigadier in
the regular establishment. Pascual
OroZco. in command of the insurrectos
Of Chihuahua, is to be made brigadier
in the regular establishment, to succeed
Cen Juan Navarro, VINO is to be retired
Col. Pdncho Villa, a former Chihuahua
bandit is to be made a bandit catcher
and given a position as colonel Of
rurales. The rurale force of Mexico is
to be enlarged considerably to make
room for many insurrectos and also be-
cause it is believed more men of this
character will be needed to pacify the
country. The present federal army will
be practically wiped out and reorganized
with better pay for officers and men.
Insurrectos who do not wish 10 re-
main in the army are being discharged
as rapidly as the work can be done.
They are being paid 81 a day for the
time they have served and will e~ch re-
ceive a homestead in the reorganization
Of the landed interests of Mexico that
will soon follow. Each man is also to be
permitted 20 take home his rife and
horse or turn them in for cash, as he
chooses, and the government will pay the
persons from whom the rifles and horses
were originally taken.
