Found Dead in Maiden.
AbraSiOnS on Face and Broken
Nose, Only Signs Of Violence.
Thought to Been Taken by Auto
From Some other Place.

Maiden, Mass, Jan. 1.-The body of

would make public any opinion IS to
The cause of death.
Aside from q broken nose and abra-
sions on the face, no marks of vio-
lence were found on the body, and the
police were uncertain whether the
woman was murdered or died as a
result of accident or illness. Her face
lay in a pool of blood and there were
marks Of blood and other indications
nearby which the police believe show
ed that she was dragged through the

in motor car. The autopsy showed
that she had been dead about eight
hours when found early this after
noon.
The woman was feet. inch tall,
weighed $50 pounds and was about
25 years old. Her hair was reddish
brown. She wore a dark dress with

and black button shoes. A gold sig
net ring on one finger bore the initial
ID" She also were two rings of
oXydized silver, one set with a skull
and crossbones of metal and the 9TH
er with a blue stone. A bracelet and
combs We're set with rhinestones, and
at her neck WAS an inexpensive horse
shoe shaped pin Her hat was pur-
pie toque, and over her dress was a
plush coat.

Park. driver for a tea company Sew
eral other persons, who mad passed the

Huntington, w. Va, Jan. 1.-Seven
men were killed. the lives of several
others are believed to have been lost
and upwards of a dozen were injured,
TO-DAY. when a westbound Chesapeake
& Ohio freight train crashed through
a weakened bridge across Guyandotte
river at Guyandotte, a suburb near
this city. The known dead are;

Henry White, bridge Waterman,

The accident was spectacular. A
crew of 80 or more iron workers were
employed installing a double track
system across the bridge when the
freight train approached. A few left
their posts, it is said, believing the
bridge unsafe.
When near the center of the struc-
ture, there was a crush and the bridge
crumbled. The heavy train shot into
the water and the bridge debris COW

day, the principal business of Con-
gress will not be resumed until, Mon
day. The Money Trust investigation,
the tariff hearings, and other impor-
tant committee work will then be add
ed to the pressure incident to getting
the big appropriation bills finished be-
fore March A. At the informal DEM
ocratic conference, today, it was
agreed that the appropriations had
made such progress that there prob
ably will be no difficulty in passing
all of them before adjournment.
The problems connected with the
confirmation of President Taft's ap-
pointments will be taken in the SEN
ate. again soon after it re-convenes
and a majority of senators express the
opinion that a solution will be found
that will allow at least some of the
appointments now pending to be acted
on. Thus far, the Democrats have
successfully prevented confirmation of
all but one or two appointments made
since Dee. 2.
Senator Martin. who is also chair

that he would call the committee to-

Democratic senators express the opin-
ion that comparatively few of the
Presidents appointments should re-
ceive confirmation, but there are APP

growing number of Democrats favor a

permit confirmation of many of the
appointments now before the Senate.
A fight is being directed against the

members of which were appointed a
few weeks ago by President TAFT. Al

ter to shore. Some of the injured were
aided by other who escaped unhurt
Efforts are being made to ascertain
definitely the exact number of men
who comprised the train and iron
workers crew. No attempt has been
made, tonight, to recover the bodies
of the victims.
The cause of the accident is believ-
ed to be a result of the water under
mining the piling that had been put
in at low water stage. a heavy rise
in the river had caused considerable
loss during the past several days, but
the railroad officials felt confident that
the bridge was safe.
A passenger train had passed over
the bridge just few moments before
the freight train crashed through. The
bridge is a total loss. The engine, one
of the largest types, probably will
have to be removed from the water
before progress can be made in recoy-
ering bodies.
