CANADIAN JUDGE APOLOGIES
TO AMERICAN LAWYER FOR
e, AFFRoNT OFFERED.

Coaticook, Quebec. Sept. 9.--William
Travers Jerome's acquital last night
on a charge of gambling was the chief
topic today among the 5000 residents
Of Coaticook, though opinion was
divided as to the verdict The scath-
ing remarks of Magistrate Mulvena,
who apologized to Jerome for the in
dignity offered him and declared the
charge had been justified by neither
law nor fact, had SOLDERING effect
and even those who had been most
bitterly opposed to jerome in his ef-
forts to get Harry X. Thaw back to
Matteawan were inclined to admit that
the court action had cleared the air
and Strengthened out situation which
might have grown embarrassing.
Accompanied by Deputy Attorney
General Franklin Kennedy, Jerome is
on his way to Albany, N. Y, by motor
today He will return to Montreal by
rail on Sunday next preparatory to
Thaw's production Monday before the
kings bench on a writ Of habeas
corpus. The arguments may mark the
beginning Of legal battle of many
weeks and even months duration.

MUSCATINE co. is
WORTH $38,OOO,OOO

Muscat1ne, Sept 9.-Muscatine coun-
ty, according to figures compiled in
the office of County Auditor Shoe
maker. is approximately worth sss,o0o.-
900 while the actual value of the city
OF Muscatine is about $10,000,000.
The new figures were necessary by
reason Of the state raise of ~ per cent
on land and 10 per cent on lots. The
increase in valuation in this county is
slightly over one million dollars. This
does not necessarily mean an increase
in taxation The board Of supervisors
will affix the levy next week at the
September meeting.
A recapitulation Of the valuation
for the current year shows that a total
Of $9,736,530 is the taxable value of the
county. However, as the taxable value
is but % per cent of the actual value,
the county's worth Is estimated aD-
proximately at $3s,0o0,0oO. The taxable
property of the railroads, express and
telegraph companies in the county is
rated at $1.015,965. The land of the city
Of Muscatine is rated at being worth
$171.790: the lats $1,777,715; and per-
Sonal property $579,s85 for total Of
32,62s,470. This would make the actual
value of this city about $10,000000.

FIGHT IS EXPECTED
49,. ON ARBITRATION

Salt Lake City, Sept. 9.-Delegates
to the thirteenth biennial convention
of the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America which is In session here,
and who favor the abandonment Of arbi-
tration as a means Of settling their dis
pute will be met with strong opposition
when the matter is taken up which
probably will be at one of today's ses-
siOns. ..
President w. D. Mahon In his report
has recommended that the street rail-
way men keep to arbitration and said
they more than any other class Of
workers needed public sentiment with
them in adjustment of their troubles.
There is a strong sentiment, however,
among some Of the delegates against
arbitration and bitter fight Is OK
pected when the subject is reached.
Two executive sessions are scheduled
for today. s.H

N MURDERED WOMAN
IS STILL UNKNOWN
EVERY EFFORT BEING MADE TO
IDENTIFY BODY FOUND IN
WATER At NEW YORK.

New York, Sept. 9.-The police and
| newspapers continued today to bend
every effort toward establishing the
identity of the murdered girl, parts of
whose body were found on Friday and
on Sunday on the New Jersey shore Of
the Hudson river.
The strangest clue yet turned up Is
the discovery that the pillow ticking
III which one portion of the girls
torso was found was sold by George
Sachs. who runs a second hand furni-
ture store at the corner of Eighth
avenue and 147th street. From the
factory In Newark where the pillow
was made, it was further learned that
the only sale Of this particular style
of pillow thus far had been to Sachs
and the latter's record showed that he
he had disposed Of only two of the pill
lows. One he remembers distinctly Of
having sold to a hatless woman as far
back as April last and from his books
he verified that the sale was made on
April %.
The woman was poorly dressed and
1t is believed that she was living in
the neighborhood. Sachs could not re-
call the sale of another Of these pill
lows, DuL his StOck SnOWeu lHdC Two
were missing. The fact that the pill
low was bought in New York further
confirms the theory that the murder
was committed in this city rather than
in New Jersey.
Although yesterdays autopsy SEEM
ed to show that the young woman had
been cut to pieces while yet alive, 1t
could not be determined whether she
was conscious at the time she was
assaulted. 1t seemed certain, however,
that no drug had been used.

Tuscola, ILL. June 1s:-Wonen don't want the right to vote. privt Iege granted them in Illinois by the legislature. last Tuesday, Joseph G. Cannon, former speaker of the na- tfonal House of Representatives, told a Douglas county audience, yesterday.
 'I am not afraid of women 'suf- frage,'' asserted Uncle Joe.'' "I am not violently opposed, if the women really want it but if the proposition were put to the women of the state it would be lost by 50,000 votes. Now that we are going to nave it in Illinois it will be a good time for an awfu11y handsome man to run for office.I'
 The former Speaker said he was living on tborrowed time' and that the speech might be his last but the platform from which he spoke shook with vehemence of his movements when he paid his respects to ''some present political tendencies.F'
 It was in Tuscola that MT. Cannon began the practice of law.
