MAN FOUND UNDER
NEWARK ELEVATOR
CLAIMED MURDERED
Mystery in Identity of
Mangled Body at Foot
of Shaft.

NEWARK. n. j., June 10.-What ap-
pears to be a deliberate murder was
unearthed today with the finding of a
mangled body of man at the foot of
an elevated shaft In the Essex Building.
The body has not been identified and
no one in the building, where there are
several hundred offices, has been able
to throw light on the identity of the
Victim. How the man got into the
building on Sunday Is also mystery,
for the watchman declared the body
was not in the place yesterday.
County physician Mckenzie has ord
cred a police inquiry. The victim 5
head was crushed, but the elevator was
nowhere near the body
The theory has ben advanced that the
man was lured into the building and
after being murdered was thrown into
the elevator pit to assume the semb.
lance, of an accident. The elevator was
on the twelfth floor.

POSTPONED In HOUSE
After Tariff Bills Are Disposed OF
Local Legislation to
Have Chance.

Under the previous informal agree
ment, District day was again showed
aside In the House today, and the steel
bill. with Senate amendments. was
taken up instead. Chairman johnson,
of the District Committee, made no ef-
fort to get up District bills, as the un-
derstanding reached two weeks ago was
10 the effect that tariff bills and appro-
prlatioh MEASURES should have the right
of way for the present.
The tentative arrangement is that
after the tariff bills are out of the way
and the annual budgets have been
passed by the House, the District Of
Columbia viii be given two or more
days in the lower body while the Senate
is al work on House bills.
