Now therefore, kill every male
among the little ones and kill every
woman that hath known man.
These scriptural quotations, the
first from Deuteronomy and the sec
ond from Numbers, the police believe
NAV furnish a solution to what before
night probably will be one of the
most mysterious murders in this city's
history.
An unidentified woman, past fifty
well dressed, is dying at the county
hospital. She was found early today
in the Saratoga hotel, in convulsions,
her skull fractured, apparently by the
hammer that lay beside her on the
blood-stained bed The police are
searching for her companion, who
registered at the desk as George
ERemnee, of Detroit The dying wom-
an was registered as his wife.
Aside from the marked passages in
the Gideon Bible that lay on a table
in the room, there is but one other
clue to the man. The initials4J. O.,
or f. c., were found on soiled col
lar in the room, together with q shirt
bearing the label of George x. Nobel,

death is believed to be 9, matter OF a

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. 15.-In an
attempt to settle all of the disputed
questions which have threatened to-
cause serious friction in the American
Federation of Labor the various COM
mittees got down to business today.
All Of the committees had momentous
problems to deal with, but interest
centered in the work of the committee
on officers and organizations.
President Gompers' action in fatty
opposing political party composed
exclusively of labor had aroused in
tense bitterness among the socialists
present. but they were in the minority
and were expected to do all of their
fighting behind the closed doors OF
the committee room.
A complete and comprehensive plan
of organization of non-skilled workers
will be considered by the convention
next week. The plan, as outlined in
the committee today, provides for the
designation of a number OF general
organizers who will work directly
among the unskilied workers and en-
deavor to end the monopoly hereto
fore held by the Industrial Workers
of the World. 1t was believed today
that this action will precipitate a
fight between the two organizations.
The committee also considered Q
plan for some concerted action in Sc.
curing labor legislation. 1t Is ex.
lpected that a number Of general bills
will be approved by the, convention
tand viii sbe introduced IN every state
Legislature.
| Because the committees are behind
in their work the convention was

business was transacted. Most o1

1 employed were taken on a sightseeing

work would be transacted until Mon

At that time the complete program
will be ready and everything will b,

assurances today that there would b.

Her Dead Body Found Face Downward In Bath
Tub Full Of Hot Water In Small
Hotel.
HER EMPLOYER IS UNDER SUSPICION
the Case Of Stenographer Whose Death
Is Being Investigated.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.]
BOSTON, Nov. 15.-While Arthur
T. Cummings, prominent produce
merchant, was held in jail in connec-
ton with tho mysterious death Of his
stenographer, Margorie Powers,
whose body was found in bath tub
full Of hot water in small hotel,
Medical Examiner Magrath today an
nounced that he would perform an
autopsy.
Cummings, we'll known in business
circles throughout New England, was
visited again today by his wife. who
expressed the utmost confidence IN
him.
Whether the case is parallel to
the death of Avis Linnell, for whose
murder Rev. Clarence Richeson died
In the chair, was one Of the questions
confronting the police. The water in
which the girl was found lying face
downward, contained some substance
like powder, according to information
gained today, and glass which had
contained gin is said to have been
found on table In the room.
1t was also learned today that the
girl was subject to fainting spells
and the possibility that her death
was accidental added still, another
aspect
Cummings is alleged to have ad-
mitted that he obtained room for
himself and his stenographer in the
hotel and registered as 20. F. Davis
and wife"
He Was Present.
Particular significance is attached
by the police to the fact that Cum
mings telephoned to Miss Powers
home when she did not appear at work
yesterday morning, showing, the po-
lice say, that he expected her TO
spend Wednesday night at home and
that he then went to the hotel and
was there when the girls body was
found He was arrested within an
hour after the discovery was made
After his arrest Cummings denied
that he was responsible for Miss
Powers condition AS cummings car

suspicion charge, the police declared
today that an "offense" will be charg
ed against him. What specific charge
will be made, they refused to dlvulge
Miss Powers left her home Wednes
day, after giving her mother part
ing kiss, ostensibly to go 10 ny
theatre to drive away the bluos.
When the girl failed to appear tn
following morning the faulils becam'
alarmed and it was then that young
er sister reported telephone mes
sage from Cummings, stating Una
Miss Powers had not arrived at nj
Office. It was not until 2 o'clock yes
terdav that the family learned Oh MIS-
Powers death. At that time, accoro

The dead girl had lived here a

of the family, her father having pee
