HEADLESS BODY IS
FOUND in ST. LOUIS
MAN HAD BEEN HOG-TIED AND
\THEN DEcAPlTATED; BLACK
HAND SUSPECTED

st. Louis, Jan. 19.-The headless
body of man was found in an ash
pit in the rear of 1922 North Ninth
street by patrolman at $3.50 o'clock
this morning. The body was warm
and apparently had not been dead
any great length of time.
The body was first seen by a negro
who said he also saw the head. The
general appearance of the torso and
its clothing indicated that the muir
dered man may have been OF foreign
birth.
The scene is in the heart of what
is called by the police "the Black
Hand district" The body was tied
between a blanket and a mattress, a
clothes line being used. The knees
were where the chin should be and
the hand under the knees. The rope
had been passed under the knees a
second time The corpse appeared as
if the head had been cut off after
rather than before the form had been
tied.

THE, NEW JERSEY EXECUTIVE
SPOKE AS HE DID AGAINST
HIS SENTIMENTS.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 19.-"Well,
Ill have to put on the soft pedal
This is the exclamation Colonel
Harvey, editor of Harper's Weekly. is
said to have made when Governor
Woodrow Wilson, forced to reply to
Colonel Harvey's query, said he
feared editorial support in the weekly
was injnring his (Wilson's) cause.
A statement purporting to be a de-
scription of the meeting between Col
onel Harvey and Governor Wilson
with Henry Watterson in New York
was given out here today by Judge
Robert Ewing, Middle Tennessee rep
resentative of the state Woodrow
Wilson organization. Judge Ewing,
who is related by marriage both to
Governor Wilson and Mr.. Watterson,
asserts the governors statement to
Colonel Harvey was made against the
dictates of personal friendship and
with the realization that "Harvey's
support had brought him (Wilson) to
the front"
Regarding this meeting in New
York, Judge Ewing declares at the
close of the conference Colonel Har-
vey arose and said to Governor Will
son:
Il wish to ask you a question and
l expect frank answer. Do you be-
lieve that the booming nature of my
articles in Harper S Weekly is injur-
ing your cause?"
Judge Ewing says Governor Will
sons friendship for Harvey demanded
that the governor answer in the neg
ative to the query, that Colonel Har-
vey had demanded frankness and that
Governor Wilson was obliged, with
much embarrassment, to make such
reply that later his name Gas candi-
date for the democratic presidential
nomination. was removed from the
editorial column of Harper's Weekly
and Judge Ewing asserts Colonel Har-
vey exclaimed
"Well, I'll have to put on the soft

dynamite plotter, made trip to the

AbdIoation Disrussed

Peking, Jan. 19.-The princes of the
imperial clan, a number of leading
Manchu officials and several mem
bers of the government had a pro
Itracted conference today with the EN-
press dowager, but again separated
without deciding the question of alb.
dication. The leading princes favor
ed an unconditional abdication of the
throne. Three OF the younger prin-
ces, together with Tieh Lian, the for
er Tartar general at Nanking, would
not, however, agree to the courts re-
tirement to Jehol although they did
not suggest an alternative.
There were many rumors of the
probability of a Manchu outbreak,
which, however, appears unlikely at
present.
It is reported in Chinese circles
that the regent Prince Chun, suggests

FUSE IS FOUND in AN ALLEY
THIS INDICATES THAT THE Ex-
PLosIoN WAS NOT RESULT
OF AN ACCIDENT.
SEVERAL SIMILAR ATTEMPTS
EFFORTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO
DAMAGE THE PROPERTY AT
PREVIOUS TIMES.

Pueblo, Colo, Jan. ia terrific
dynamite explosion at 2:50 o'clock
this morning partially wrecked the
Colorado laundry in the heart of the
business district, and shattered win
dow glass in adjoining buildings, in
cluding those Of the Globe Express
company. No valuables, however.
were taken from the express COM
pany's Office. A dynamite fuse was
found in the alley outside of the ex-
press Office A motive for the out
rage is unknown. No estimate Of the
damage has been given and there
hawke been no arrests.
The police are now working on a
theory that the explosion was caused
by out-of-town parties and that 1t is
connected with the many explosions,
in the last few years on jobs which
were being done by structural iron.
workers, not connected with the nal
tional organization.
1t is now believed that the only OBJ
ject was to destroy the large steel
tank used as water softener. When
this was being erected some years
ago it mysteriously toppled over one
night but no clew was ever found as
to the real cause.
The force of the explosion was such
that windows were shattered in ter
ritory covering several blocks. The
windows In the Globe Express COM
pany office across the alley crashed
to the street and it was supposed at
first that the safe of the company had
been blown open.
The explosion caused great excite
ment, as, owing to the killing of a
"Black Hand" leader here the night
before, it was believed that the gang
was taking revenge for the murder
Of their leader. The police, however,
are of the opinion that the Black
Hand had no connection with the af-
fair.
The steel tank which was the object
of attack was erected by the Kenne-
colt Water Softener company of Chi
cago Heights, Ill. The laundry was
operated on non-union basis, but it
is not believed that this has any cor

It developed today, however, that
an attempt had been made to wreck
the laundry year ago. when the gas
in an upper story was turned on mys-
teriously, undoubtedly with the hope
that sparks or a lighted lamp might
cause an explosion. Prompt discov-
cry prevented disaster.
The sheriff's Office is said to have
a clew which points to one man as be-
ing responsible for the outrage. Re-
ports that warrant had been issued
