FA|THF Ill DOG HOLDS
UP PROBE OF MURDER
Rumor of Woman's Killing Pre-
ceded Discovery of Body by
Twelve Hours.

NEWARK, n. J., July 23.-More than
twelve hours after practically the whole
neighborhood had been discussing the
rumor of a murder, supposed to have
been committed at 162 Walnut street,
the body of Mrs. Emma Corduan, forty
eight years old, covered only with a
small undershirt. was found under the
bed. the head end of which was spatter-
ed with blood.
Almost an hours time was lost before
anybody was able to go near the body,
owing to the fact that the faithful dog
of the woman was guarding the body
and threatened anyone who dared come
within its reach.
Barring few bruises on the left side
of the head, there were no outward in
dications on the body to show just how
she had been murdered.
No trace could be found of the hus-
band, William Corduan, forty-five years
old. for whom the police are hunting.
Besides the husband, a young couple
who boarded with the Corduans are
missing. They are only known as
Hattie" and Ollie" the way the
neighbors had heard them call each
other.
The body of the woman was removed
to the morgue, where an autopsy will
be held today.

Flags Infuriate Mob

MEXICO CITY. July 2a.-The tearing
down and mutilation of American and
British flags by Mexicans angered by
he new Sunday closing law enforced
in the capital was being more or less
Derfunctorily investigated today.
Several thousand workingmen, clerks
and students who had been discharged
by their employers because OF the new
Sunday regulations, were on their way
TO the national palace yesterday to file
a protest with President Huerta, when
tbey came upon a Japanese curio shop
in lven' da San Francisco, where Amer
lean, British, japanese and Mexican
flags were displayed.
The angry men and youths halted for
a moment and then made a rush for
the flags. The American and British
emblerns were wrenched from their
standards and torn to ribbons, the
nleces being trampled under foot. Then
the leaders caught up the Japanese
flag and marched away with IT amid
cheers. Mounted police and federal cav
airy finally dispersed the mob. who
never reached the national palace with
their protest.
From time inImemorial Sunday has
always been the biggest day in Mexico.
It was on Sunday that the people
amused themselves.

Came to Rescue.

ROCHESTER,. Pa. July 2.-Follow-
ing the frantic and fruitless efforts OF
the city council to legislate the proper
length and texture of women's dresses.
public sentiment in Rochester has
changed in favor of the slit skirt, the
diaphanous gown. and other forms of
rarefied costuming.
This was demonstrated when a crowd
saved a young woman from two police
men who fain would have questioned
her as to the wherefor of the nothing
ness which seemed to be the principal
characteristic Of the material in her
gown.
The young woman was Miss Alicia
Burnett, person Of no mean beauty,

of cloth in which she tripped uncon-
cernedly down one OF the principal
streets was more than the last work In
gowns
The policemen saw Miss Burnett and
made dash for her in their official ca
pacity. The crowd around her was so
dense they couldn't penetrate IL, and, in
spite of threats, thev were held back.
When at last they got where Miss Bur-
nett had been she was far away in a
speeding automobile. supplied by some
young men, who evidently feared she
would be injured In the crush.

CLOSE GUARD KEPT
OVER GREEK STATUE
Bust of Child, Recovered by
Greek Diplomat, Is Regard
ed as Almost Priceless.

The closest guard will be kept over
the priceless Greek statue, found after
a search of fifteen years, when ii was
dug out of the cellar of a Baltimore
confectionery store, and now in pos
session of DR.. Alexandra C. Vouros,
the Greek charge d'affaires here.
The statue, a bust of child OF five,
will be locked in a safe and guarded
until it is sent back to the National
Museum at Athens, from which it was
stolen fifteen years ago. Charles
Nemphos. the Greek candy merchant
at Baltimore, in whose custody the art
treasure was found, has been released,
but will be kept under surveillance.
Nemphos declares the bust was left
in his possession by Michael Bernardos.
who Is alleged to have stolen II from
the Greek museum. A search is being
made for Bernardos.
Greek Girl.
The statue is that of a Greek girl.
with short, wavy hair, parted in the
middle. The Grecian nose has been
Clipped, marring a beautiful face. The
mouth shows the curves of innocence.
The child wears the Greek chlamis, a
tunic worn centuries ago when the
statue Is supposed 10 nave peeH SdINed
out of marble.
There is nothing to indicate the age
of the piece of sculpture. Years ago a
description was published by the
Greek government, but DIR. Vouros has
forgotten the details. He only remem-
bers that ii was then said that the
statue was 5000 years old and that 1t
was priceless.
Two Stories.
Nemphos. the man in whose custody
the bust was tound after the Greek
legation at Washington had been in
formed that he had 1t in his possession,
tells conflicting stories. One is that
the bust was left by Bernardos at
Nemphos' home, and was not discovered
until after he left, when it was buried
in the cellar for safe keeping.
The other story is that Bernardos
left the statue with him for safe keep
Ing, with the understanding that II was
to be sent to him when he demanded it
Washington srchaelogists will be ask
ed to view the relic while it is in the
custody of DR.. Vouros in order that
some idea may be gained as to its age
and historical relation.

and a systematic search was begun for
the lost document
The second morning the porter on an
eastbound train telegraphed the agent
here from Salina that he was positive
