RoosEvELT's PLANS
Are to Keep Silence During the Coming
Campaign.

Richmond, Va. Oct. l9.-The part
which former President Roosevelt will
take in the coming national campaign
probably win be one of silence. This
became publicly known yesterday
through letter which he wrote to Con-
gresham J. Hampton Moore of Penn
sylvania, president of the Atlantic Deep.
er Waterways association, declining an
invitation to address the convention.
Col. Roosevelt emphatically declared:
From now / wish to avoid making
any speech that possibly can avoid.
Concluding his letter he said:
81 cannot undertake anything fur
tber of any kind or sort now"
The portions of the colonel's letter
were interpreted to mean that he wished
to refrain from uttering any opinions
which possibly might be misconstrued
in connection with the presidential cam
paign. It was gathered from the col
onel's letter that he intends to remain
silent throughout the campaign.

W0MAN'S BODY
is NOT IDENTIFIED
1t Was Found Standing on Head in
Small Greek Which Flows Through
Gloversville.

Gloyersyille, n. Y, Oct. l9--No iden-
tfcation has vet been made OF the body
Of the woman found yesterday in 4
small creek which crosses one of the
streets in the south end of the city.
The police theory is that the woman
was murdered, robbed and brought to the
spot where found. The body was stand
ing on its head in the creek.
An autopsy developed the fact that
the woman died from strangulation and
the natural conclusion is that the wom-
an was murdered and her body thrown
into the creek. There were number Of
scratches and bruises on the womans
face and body.
She was apparently 55 to go years old,
weighed lS5 to 100 pounds, dressed in
dark blue coat. black skirt, with black
hat and hatpin She had large gray
eyes and her hair was gray. Her cloth
ing and everything about the woman
leads to the belief that she was woman
Of culture and refinement The body
was removed to keiner's morgue by or
der of Coroner Palmer Perhaps thou
sand persons of Gloversvile and Johns
town have viewed the remains and none
can identity her.
Thus far no one has been reported
missing in either city and this strength
ems the theory that the woman was
murdered near Gloyersville and her body
thrown into the creek by her slayer.
There is suspicion that the woman
may have come from one of the cities
or villages along the Mohawk valley and
the police Of these places have been
communicated with.
