ONE WHO
KILLED NURSE
Police Are Convinced That
Miss Snodgrass Was Slain

Catskill, N. T.. July 80.-That Miss
Dorcas Ijams ~Snodgrass, tho missing
Mount Vernon trained nurse, whose
decomposed body was found In the
shallow waters OF Dubois creek. was
killed by poison and her body thrown
from a boat Is the theory on which
the Catskill police set to work to clear
up the battling mystery. Tho body OF
Miss Snodgrass, who disappeared on
July IT, was positively identified by
marks on her clothing.
Miss snodgrass' hat was found In
the marshes 100 feet from the place
where her body was found. The hat
pins had not been removed, showing
that the hat had been torn violently,
the police say, from the young wom-
ans head.
Physicians announced that the body
Is so badly decomposed that 1t will be
impossible to perform an autopsy that
will determine accurately whether the
young Woman was alive or dead before
the body entered the water.
Catskill police started to work on the
theory that Miss Snodgrass had been
enticed aboard some yacht on the
Hudson, probably in New York city,
and had been either druged or slain
on board and her body disposed Of in
Dubois creek.

WASHINGTON
SIDE LIGHTS

Special By United P-ess Wire.
Washington, July 30:-Maybe it's
the high cost of living-but anyway,
Americans aren't drinking as much
champagne al they were wont to in
the olden days.
A special report from Consul Bar
del, at Rheims, France, just made
public by the Bureau Of Manufact-
ures, shows that while the 1911
1912 sales from the champagne dis
trict to the United States were a
large increase over the year previ-
Gus, still the total isn't nearly as
much as in the years previous.
In the 1911-1912 year, France
disposed of 2,775,624 quart bottles
of the grape" to the United States.
The year previous the total was only
1,951,316 bottles. But in 1909 it
reached the big total of 5,42O,316-
the most wine sent to the United
States in ten years.
The consular official estimates
that the decrease is due to higher
prices for champagne in France as
also with the increase in United
States customs duties on sparkling
Wines"

specioI BY United Press Wire.

Washington, July 30.-No matter
who you are, whether senator, con-
gresham, bricklayer, business man
or just an ordinary reporter, every
time that you call on Secretary of
the Treasury Macveagh your name
goes down in a little book and is
made a part Of a permanent record.
If the secretary wants to know who
called on him a year ago he can look
in this little book and find out. If
there Is any dispute about it the
book will tell.
The idea Ia a pet one Of Francis
Taylor, private secretary to the Sec
rotary. Every time a man goes to
see the secretary, Mr.. Taylor gets his
name and If he is an out Of town
man his business. 1t requires a good
deal of hustling on Mr.. Taylor's part,
but he gets away with the job very
handily. Sometimes a group of six
or seven persons or maybe twenty
arrive to see the secretary at once.
This doesn't worry Taylor. He gets
them all Just the same.
The record served the secretary
very usefully recently in a contro-
versy which he had with n of the
assistant secretaries who resigned.
The assistant claimed that since his
service in the treasury or a large
part OF the time, he had been unable
to get an interview with the secre-
tary. The record showed that dur
ing a certain period in dispute the
assistant secretary had twenty-one
audiences with his chief.

Washington, July 30.-The wings
of the so-called pure food and drug
board of appeals have been greatly
clipped by q recent decision of the
attorney general, which holds that
1t has no power to revoke or modify
any findings of fact of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture in these matters.
This means that hereafter when
the Department promulgates an or
der relating to food or drugs the
three secretaries Of the Treasury,
Commerce and Labor and Agricul-
ture constituting the board, it be-
comes final and the triple headed
commissions power Is confined to
enacting rules and regulations to
carry out the order-if that be nee
essary.
When the saccharlne case came up
before this board on a complaint
from food manufacturers that the
Bureau of Chemistry had been I'M
fair to them, the board had what
amounted to a rehearing Of the
whole case. AS a result the saccha-
rine ruling did not go into effect for
a long time. When DR.. Wtley's rul-
ing in the misbranded grain case
excited controversy the board also
stepped in and gave the grain deal
ers a hearing.
Recently the Department of Agri-
culture announced that all importa-
lions of absinthe would be barred
from the United States after Octo-
Der l., on the ground that it is a
d~eleter1Ous substance and dangerous
to the public health. If the impor-
ters of absinthe want any relief they
will have to appeal to the courts.
They won't be able to get 1t from the
appeal board.

The development Of the silk manu-

learn the secret Of the Leghorn silk

and see the machines In motion, but
could learn nothing OF their construc-
ton and operation. Finally, through
the good Offices Of priest, Lombe Sc
