KIDNAPPED GIRL IS
DROWNED IN LAKE
Little Annie Lemberger's Body
Discovered in Water After
Several Days.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 1.-THE nude
body of 7-year-old Annie Lemberger,
who was kidnapped after going to bed
at the home of her parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Lemberger. last Tuesday
night, was found today in Lake Mono
ma, mile from her home.
Superficial examination of the body
disclosed no evidence of violence be-
yond a slight laceration Of one ear,
and diScoloration on the neck, the
latter mark indicating that the child
may have been strangled.
The body was found by George
Younger, a cement worker, living at
South Madison. and was brought to an
undertaker's room in this city. No
weights were on the body, nor were
the hands or feet bound in any way
The only motive for the murder as
far as the case has developed, seems
to be revenge on her parents by some
Enemy at present unknown. The. child
went to sleep with an elder sister Tues
day night last. Wednesday morning
The younger girl was missing from bed.
AN open window in the room gave the
first intimation that she had been kid
haped.
Younger, who found the body, will
receive the $500 reward offered by the
city council.
Outside the humble cottage Of the
Lembergers near West Madison, gath
cred hundreds of curious and sympath-
izing people today. A relief fun to de-
fray the expenses OF the funeral was
started today. A fund for the appre-
hension of the murderer was also
started and $500 was soon raised.

BRADSTREET and Dun
REPORT ON BUSINESS
Trade Expands Moderately, But
Marked Conservatism Is
Still Shown.

New York. Sept. 11.-Bradstreet's
Saturday said:
Three factors helped to expand trade
In moderate way this week-fall fes-
tifals. the advance Of the season and
me ending OF the vacation period. On
the whole, recent developments are
relatively more favorable, but still con-
servatism In buying is everywhere Wis
iple and final purveyors Of goods dis
play no particular tendency to forsake
the policy heretofore pursued; that is.
TO buy frequently and in small lots,
1ather tnan literally at any one time.
ms attitude is superinduced I'm large
degree by the inability Of retail distrib-
uters OF wearing apparel, furnishings
ana the like to measure the probable
enects on their sales Of ascending
prices for edible commodities and the
ldieness visible in many Industrial lines
IN industrial circles the drift has been
IN a more favorable direction, owing

r: G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade today says:
STEADY Improvement in business con-
ditions Is indicated by most of the re-
ports which come from the leading in
dustries and from trade centers. The
enlarged operations In pig iron are in
dicated by returns covering the produce
ton during August. which rose 133.569
tons. Most OF last months expansion
was due to the increased turnover of
the leading interest, whose bookings
and shipments In that period were
heavier than In any preceding month
this year. In the finished lines the ex-
listing price situation induces consum-
ers generally to confine purchases to
actual needs. Competition for new
business has become very keen.
An improved demand for dry goods
Is noted, both in the primary markets
and by Jobbing houses. Retailers pur-
chase steadily for current needs espe-
cially of novelties, specialties and of
goods required for fall distribution.

MARINE OFFICER MAY
BE A FLORIDA SUICIDE

Washington. Sept .12--The battling
problem surrounding the disappearance
Of the long lost Capt. Arthur James
Matthews, senior captain Of the United
States marine corps and son Of the late
Rear Admiral Edmund O.. Matthews,
constituting one of the deepest mys-
teries ever presented to the navy de-
partment. is believed to have been
solved by the finding of a suicides
body at San Pablo. near Jacksonville,
Fla.
Acting Secretary Of the Navy Win
throp received a report from secret
agents OF the department Of Justice who
have worked on the case ever since the
officer disappeared from the Mare Is
land navy yard. where he commanded
the naval prison.
The report tends to show that a man
living under the name of Capt J. III.
Pond. who took his own life at San
Pablo several weeks ago, was In reality
none other than Captain Matthews.

FLYING MACHINES ARE
USED TO CARRY MAILS

London, Sept. 1.-THE first flying
postal service was inaugurated this
afternoon under the auspices of the
British postoffice. The points of de-
parture and arrival were respectively
the Hendon aerodrome and Windsor
castle. the distance being somewhat
under a score of miles.
The aerial mail experiment was I'M
dertaken to demonstrate the practic-
ability of this means OF letter transit
when war or strikes reduce available
ordinary train service.
Four airmen, plotting two mono
planes and two biplanes were engaged
in the work. Upwards of 100000 pos
tai packets constituted the first de-
livery. King George was so interested
in the service that he gave his per-
mission to the aerial postmen to alight
on the lawn of Windsor castle.

BLOOD SPILLED IN
CHINESE TROUBLE.
Battle Between Soldiers and
Rioters Results in Many
Deaths.

Washington, Sept 12.--Blood has
been spilled in Sze-Chuen, the turbu-
lent province of China. Over 20 rioters
and number OF soldiers have been
killed In battle during the last few
days resulting from attacks Of dissat-
isfied natives on the Yamen, or resi-
dents of Cheng-Tu, See Chuen. This
information, the first news of bloodshed
In the present disturbance reached the
state department today. .
To investigate the situation which
Is threatening to Americans United
States Consul Pontius left Han Kow
Saturday night for Chang King. The
gravity of the conditions and the fear
full possibilities OF the mamoth up
rising has brought the central govern
ment Of China to a quick decision to
suppress the trouble with a strong
hand.
Arrests infiame Mobs.
Thursday the ringleaders of the agi-
tatfon were arrested by the viceroy Of
the province. This infiamed their fol-
lowers and resulted In a vicious at
tack on the yamen by the mob. The
soldiers on guard fired into the rioters
killing some 20 of them. The mob re-
tired and In a subsequent assault on
the virceroys residence slew a number
Of the troops.
Later news in regard to the condi-
lions Is unatainable as the telegraph
wires between Cheng-Tu and Ching
King have been cut.
China's troubles continue through
ravages OF nature. Twenty seven coun-
ties In northern Anhewi and Kiang Su
provinces have been visited by the
floods Of the uncomfortable Yang Use
river according to reports to the
American legation at Picking.
Conditions at Yang Use valley are
reported as even more appalling. The
central government OF China has APP
propriated 100000 taels or about $780,
600 for relief purposes, but that amount
Is regarded as wholly inadequate.

unanimously passed protesting against
the withdrawal Of Germany from her
