Struggle - Had Been
Dead Only Short Time.

\ young yachtsman, wandering
through the dense neck of woods
ringing the Cold Spring Road. in In
wood Hills, far up at the north end Of
Manhattan, last night, stumbled across
the mutilated body of a young woman
lying in the centre of a cleared patch
of ground that plainly showed the
traces of the struggle between the
woman and her murderer
Two policemen and surgeon, who
had been notified by the excited young
man, tramped through the woods UNI
til they reached the body In their
opinion the murder could have been
committed only about an hour before
they had been notified.
The policemen, Detective Hyman and
Patrolman Flynn, both of the st. Mich
olas avenue station, started on a thor
ough search through the woods for the
man who had committed the crime.
They were certain he was in hiding
there.
The yachtsman, Valentine c. Allen,
drove his motor boat close into the
bank OF the shore. near. as he sup
posed. to his club, the Reliance Motor
Boat Club. Discovering his mistake, he
did not get back into his boat, but
started through the woods to the club
house.
When he had gone only twenty or
thirty yards into the woods. walking
very carefully because of the darkness,
he stumbled across what he thought to
be a sack. STOPPING down, he saw it
was human body.
Striking match after match. his hand
trembling so that it was done with the
utmost difficulty. Allen saw that the
head had been almost severed from
the young woman's body.
Allen rushed through the woods to
his club, on the hillside. and there
telephoned to the police and the Wash
ington Heights Hospital
When the detectives arrived. after
a half hours plunging through the
dark and closely grown woods. they
saw that the woman was about twen-
ly-dve years old, appeared to be of
Hungarian birth and weighed about
40 pounds. She wore a white waist,
a black skirt. white underwear. black
stockings and russell shoes.
Frederick Hudson. Waterman of the
Reliance Motor Boat Club, told the
officers that during the day there had
been about thousand Hungarians at
a picnic in the woods. He said they
had left the place about dusk.

ALDERMEN CALLED UNFIT
Citizens Union in Report Con-
dennis Activities of Board.
CURRAN'S WORK PRAISED
Folks Ordinance Also Wins
Observation-Disclosures
Time on Permits.

The Citizens Union gave ont yesterday
a report analyzing the work Of the Board
of Aldermen as whole. Nearly every
thing done by the board during the last
two wears was condemned and the mem
beers were characterized as totally unfit 10
hold any important office in the public
service.
The report praised the work Of the Cur
ran committee for its investigation OF tne
Police Department and for the many con-
structive accommodation for changes II
the laws ana methods OF administration
II also had a kindly word for the FL
nance Committee OF the Board OF Alder
men. Likewise headed by Alderman Cur
ran. on this score thu report said
The intelligent treatment OF special
revenue bond authorizations Is credit to
the Finance Committee Of the Board OF
Aldermen"
The report while criticising the board
as whole. declared II superior to the
board II succeeded. and said II was more
amenable 20 the pressure OF public senu-
rnent. with the result that a fair record
Of constructive legislation had been at
tained.
Other acts the board commended are
the taxicab ordinance. the ordinance reg
ulatng the speed OF vehicles in city streets
and the Introduction OF the new building
code. on which final action has not yet
been taken.
Commenting more generally upon the
work OF the board. the report said:
Instead Of performing its proper func-
tons. the Board Of Aldermen has de-
voted itself 10 matters not properly a
part OF its duties For example. I'm the
first seventeen months Of the existence
OF the present board. II passed l.627 res
olutions granting special permits rela'
tive to show cases. parades, advertising
men. booths, awnings. barber poles,
storm doors. vaults, signs clock posts
watering troushs. advertising wagons,
etc. Nearly all OF these special permits
could have been obtained under the pro-
visions OF general ordinances.
Most resolutions Of this character. as
we'll as ordinances granting special per-
mits are adopted as political or personal
favors They are usually adopted at the
request Of any members at the time OF
introduction. and without rollcaNl The
requests 20 10 department heads with

latve body OF the city government"
Some time during the week the CIT

DECLARES HUERTA
IS BADLY ADVISED
The Times" Of London, Thinks
Mexico Makes Mistake in
Riding High Horse.
[By Gable to The Tribune. ]

London, Aug. 1.-THE Times" says
editorially on the Mexican situation:
1T is not we'll advised Of General
Huerta and his supporters to ride the
high horse and proclaim that they will
not tolerate Intervention Of any kind
in the troubles Of their country, or
compromise with 'revolutionists.' as
they call their adversaries, forgetful
OF their own rather recent past.
The one thing that the American
people at present want of Mexico is
that she shall give them peace on their
borders and some reasonable measure
OF security for the vast amount of
American capital invested I'm Mexico
under the orderly despotism Of Diaz,
and for the lives of American citizens.
That they are entitled 10 have. If they
think a general election more likely to
give It than an indefinite prolongation
OF the provisional regime established
by Huerta, they surely may be excused
for reminding him with a good deal of
emphasis that an election is presently
due and that he promised to hold IT,
Secretary Bryan is unquestionably
correct in the statement that in dis
patching John Lind to Mexico as his
personal representative President Will
son is acting entirely within his rights.
So far as II Is possible for foreigners to
Judge. the Mexican government has
much to gain and little 10 lose by "A
show Of dignified courtesy toward Mr..
Lind They made a mistake, from the
point Of view Of foreign relations, in
declaring before he landed that unless
he was duly accredited and brought
with him the recognition of the present
would not be acceptable.
President Wilson has shown great
moderation and an earnest desire TO
refrain as much as possible from inter
vention, and Americans, for the most
part, would be delighted to see Mexico
settle her o, i quarrels in an amicable
way"
The Daily Graphic" says: The ex-
pertinent of sending Mr.. Lind to Mex
leo without diplomatic credentials does
not seem calculated to mend matters.
II has ali the disadvantages of med
dlesomeness without any Of the ad-
vantages OF intervention. The truth is.
fective and perilous in dealing with a
Latin-American republic in a state OF
anarchy than counsels Of sweetness and
light Nothing is more unlikely than
that Lind's mission will succeed. and
prudent men will be thankful If he fails
decently"

THE President manifested a strong

frankly said he would be very glad 20
have any suggestion from them. either
