MURDER Ny STERY
IN GRARY Ct h! HOTEL III II. |.
Body Of Baby Found in Attic Of
Star Hotel When Place Is

A murder mystery dating. back four
years., was discovered at Crary Mon
day afternoon when John Mcclure, in
the employ of Owens and Nillson, dis
covered the decomposed remains Of an
infant child in the attic Of the Star
hotel.
BE Coroner E. w. Gilbertson- of Devils
Lake was called and Immediately
started an investigation, which if sub

will find from preliminary examination
will be followed by an arrest.
The discovery was made while. the
hotel was being renovated preparatory
to the opening of the place by the new
fproprietors, who recently arrived from
Minneapolis. Wrapped up in black oil
cloth ,s and deposited in the far. corner
Sof the attic, which is virtually. the
ERthird floor Of the building, the body
was found. The place is accessible by
climbing a ladder; and crawling oyer
the rafters in dark, uncanny pas

II A canvas was made of the stores at
Crary in an effort to find if black oil
cloth had been sold. Coroner Gilbert
Eson is satisfied he secured a valuable
Eclue. Employees who worked at the ho.

more information secured:
e As soon as it is determined whether
1the child ever lived, some definite &C
tion will be taken. IF it was born

HEALTH OFFICIALS
GIVE SUGGESTIONS
FOR SAVING BABIES
Extreme Care of Milk Neces-
sary During Hot Weather,
Says Bulletin.

Directing attention to the deaths dur
ing the week ended July 20. of sixteen
infants under two years of age, the
Health Department, in its weekly bull
letin made public today, offers advice
asto the care of babies. -.
''The continued high mortality from
summer diseases among infants points
to the necessity Of putting in practice
few simple principles for the care and
preparation. of infants food" says the
report. "Hother's milk is the baby's
natural food during its early life. II
for any reason 1t is necessary to resort
to other than mothers milk, cows milk
modified as to circumstances is the best
substitute, but cleanliness and cold are
essentials in keepink 1t wholesome.
milk Is easily contaminated and
quickly absorbs impurities. Pure un-
adulterated milk, delivered in bottles,
should at once be put into the refrig-
orator, preferably in the compartment
with the ice and should be kept there
at temperature not above 25 degrees.
II tn baby Is bottle fed, the bottle
should be washed In hot water after
each use."
The total number of deaths during
the week was 1888, seventy-one among
the white and sixey-two among the col
ored population. The births numbered
no. of which 126 were white and forty
four colored.
The number oc saces of contagious
diseases on record Is as follows: whoop-
ing cough, 542; diphtheria, IS; typhoid

Men "Blow Up" Just as
Often as Women, Says
WOman'S Union Secretary

NEW YORK, July A-"If all men
were condemned because of one mans
mistake in crisis. all you men would
be out OF jobs
This was the comment of Miss Caro-
line Lexow, secretary of the Woman's
Political Union today on the recon-
mendation of a Chicago coroners jury
that only men be employed as tower
operators, following the fatal Burling-
ton wreck, attributed to tower
women's mistake. ..... ...
''Of course, this poor woman went up
In the air In this terrible crisis" con-
tirued Miss LeXow But don't men
blow up too? Women are doing the
work of men in every profession and
are doing II quite as well. Why should
profession be closed to us simply be-
cause cne of us has made a mistaken"
The report that Congress considered
barring women from wireless posts on
passenger ships also aroused Miss Lex
ow's ire.
You would not hear such talk from
Congressman IL women voted,' she said.

man who attacked her was>sure TO have
bitten hand. The detectives were on
their way TO headquarters when they
nrst saw Clayton. and they compared
him with the description that has been
sent broadcast by the washington po-
lice. They brought him to Headquarters,
where he was questioned by Captain
Boardrnan. chief OF Detectives. He said
he lived at 6 Greens court, and that he
had not been IN Virginia. He had what
was apparently an open wound on his
hand. but declared that he received Il
liftipg something. He sdfd that he had
not been working recently. After a
long siege at headquarters, Clayton was
taken to the Fourth precinct station
house. Mrs. Hoffman will 60 there to
see him late this afternoon. sf
The Virginia manhunt has so far de-
veloped nothing, and the impression is
strong that the man who made the at

city.

cred her strength and poise, though
the frequent references to the attack
which she is compelled to undergo arc

Highest Paid Woman
In Government Employ
Calls Verdict "Unfair''

Miss NJ. ". Kelly, the highest paid
woman employe in the Government serv-
ice, who is doing a mans work as
assistant director of the United States
Mint Bureau, gave emphatic expression
of her belief that the Chicago coron-
ers jury and Uncle Sam himself both
erred in taking the attitude that we-
man couldn't do mans work.
II don't think the coroner's Jury was
fair" she said. They had to place the
blame somewhere, and they picked out
a woman. This particular woman may
not have been competent, but her fail
ure is no worse than that of lots of
men in similar places.
II think women are to be fully trusted
in cases where lives depend upon them.
There is no position which requires
more nerve and courage than that of
hospital nurse-and the best of these
are women. They may have the re-
sponsibility of several lives in their
keeping.
IT would feel Just as safe on an ocean
liner that had a woman wireless opera
tor as on one that was manned by
men.
II think there are just as many wo-
men who could make good, as men. The
only trouble is that men are not able to
size UP women of ability. They can't
pick them out for their brain capacity,
They generally select them because
their personal appearance makes a
favorable impression"
