MURDER MYSTERY" SPOILED.
Lingerie Found in Asparagus Clue
Leads Only to Attempted Theft.

PORT MONMOUTH, y. j., September
22.-The finding of a telescope bag packed
full of dainty and costly lingerie. long
bladed knife which bore dark red stains
and a bottle marked poison behind a
barrel in the asparagus house the
farm of Henry Coe here today gave Mon
mouth county the greatest murder mys-
terry it has had in years That il was a
murder there could be no doubt, for sew
eral detectives from the county prose
cutor's office examined the articles and
Immediately decided that they had clues
enough to catch the murderer before
night.
But Henry Coe, the owner OF the farm,
had the best clue. The farmer took one
look at the contents Of the bag, which
had been carefully Numbered and pack
ed, and announced that all OF the clothing
belonged to his wife. Coe said the ugly
looking knife was used in cutting as
paragus stalks while the bottle OF
..poison'' was intended for potato bugs.
Mrs Coe suspects a former servant OF
having hidden the clothing in the hope
of being able to take IL away during the
night.

Leader Of Gang of
Thieves.
reign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS, September 10. 1913.
Extraordinary stories are told OF the
character and exploits Of girl desperate,
the leader Of a gang Of eight interna-
tional thieves who are in prison in France.
At one time she kept a small bar IN
London, where she used to tell fortunes
by cards. Her real vocation. however,
was that Of ringleader to band OF
thieves, and after having to leave Lon
don she was heard of in Paris and many
provincial towns, where the gang com
mitted jewel robberies.
One of the receivers was butcher by
trade and stolen jewels often reached
Paris embedded in butchers meat con-
signed to his care. The girl was finally
arrested, and while in prison she set to
work to batter her face against the cell
walls in order to change her appearance.
She smashed her teeth, distorted her
mouth and damaged herself so severely
that she almost succeeded in her object
of rendering herself Understandable as
the same woman. The band will shortly
be placed on trial.

QUARANTINE
ON FOREIGN POTATOES
U. S. Officials Determined to
Protect Domestic Product
From Wart Disease.

Determined to protect the potato indus
try of the United States against attacks
of a disease known as the potato wart,
now unknown in this country. the De-
partment of Agriculture will continue
the quarantine established year ago
gainst potatoes coming from the Brit
ish Isles. Germany, Austria Hungary,
Newfoundland and Pierre and Miquelon,
two French islands in the st. Lawrence
river.
This decision of the department means
that the United States will have to pro-
duce for an indefinite period all of the
potatoes IL consumes. However, federal
reports declare that the 1913 potato crop
in this country is most promising, and
it does not seem apparent at this time
that market conditions will require an
importation of potatoes into the United
States this winter

Raising of Quarantine Asked.

The London bureau of agriculture re-
Gently asked through diplomatic chan
neIs, that the quarantine be raised, but
the United States federal horticultural
board ruled that the risk of introducing
new diseases into this country is too
great to Justify a, chance, particularly
in view of the fact that very large
area in England and Scotland is more
or less infected with the wart disease.
Coupled with its announcement Of the
proposal to continue the quarantine the
Department of Agriculture reports that
practically all varieties of European po-
tatoes or unfit for culture in the United
States, as compared with the best of the
domestic product The board held that
il is detrimental to American agriculture
to encourage the sale and use of foreign
seed potatoes because of their relative
lack OF vigor and productivity in the
local fields.

of the engagements, and many others
were treated for minor injuries.
The number of men in Dublin either
on strike or locked out is about 10000.
They have many supporters and are in
savage spirit. In the melee the police
retaliated with bottles and other mis-
siles SO fiercely that one of the mount
ed force was knocked from his horse
and severely injured and several foot
policemen were carried off on stretchers.
Paraders Are Defiant.
Many strike parades were held the
jeering workmen and their allies
marching through various parts Of the
city Liberty Hall was converted into
strike headquarters. Street cars
were held up and all but wrecked.
Police reserves charged one of the
professions when people from the side
streets began to stone the cars. Sew
eral were injured in this skirmish.
The crowd which numbered 10000
made its way through the streets
smashing car windows as II proceeded
until 1t was met by large squad OF
mounted police in Lombard street.
There the lighting became more furi-
GUS The police twice charged with
their batons, and finally succeeded in
dispensing the rioters.

PARIS, September 10, 1913.
An amusing story is being told in Paris
of a member of the government who
while devoted to the active side of his
departmental work, greatly dislikes the
drudgery of the endless signing of Off

care to be absent from the Office when
ever a pile of papers has come in for his
signature.
To cut off his retreat, the departmental
officials have now instructed the at
tendants to hide the minister's hat as
soon as he enters the building. When he
seeks to escape and rings for an at

injunction granted by Circuit Judge
O'Brien on petition of the mine managers
prohibiting the copper miners on strike
from picketing and parading while men
are going to or coming from work and

there were no disturbances. One arrest

Serious International complications were
the elephant house in the Budapest Zoo.
The town architect erected a dwelling in
the form OF mosque to accommodate an
elephant and a rhinoceros, which were
recently acquired. 1t was 1anked with
two minarets duly surmounted by the
golden crescent. To complete the eastern
character of the edif1ce. the walls in the
interior were painted with arabesques'
while numerous verses from the Koran
were cut into the stone facings.
The two animals were installed in their
sumptuous abode. and all went we'll until
one day a Turkish visitor arrived in the
zoo. Attracted by its architectural ap-
pearance, the Turk. believing the building
to be mosque, entered it with the object
