Now Believe Woman Found
on Lake Shore Was Slain

CHICAGO, July 26.-Circumstances
Strengthening the theory that the un-
identified young woman whose body
was found on the lake shore. in
Rogers Park late last night was
murdered, were brought to light to-
day.
Detectives found in the sand evil
dences that the body had been drag
ged to the shallow water from a
wooded spot about so feet from shore.
An umbrella near the body had bits
of leaves sticking to it, and the han
die was bent. A tear in the skirt
worn by the woman seemed addi-
tional evidence that she had made
a struggle for life. The name OF a
Milwaukee manufactures was in the
umbrella and this leads the police
to think the woman may have come
from that city.

GUMMERE GRANTS
MOTOR RACE WRIT
But 1t Does Not Act as Stay.
Ordinance Ruled Un-
certain.

On the ground that the city ordi-
nance prohibiting the running of
motorcycle races was lacking in
certainty. Chief Justice Gummere to-
day granted an application for
writ of certiorari made by Edward o.
Stanley, jr., and j. Fred Wheery to
review the action of the city of New
ark in the conviction of John King
and Fred W. West, riders at the
Motordrome who were recently ar
rested for violation of the city ordi-
nance and fined $50 apiece.
The granting of the writ does not
act as stay. Counsel for the de-
PENDANTS contended that the COM
plant was not properly drawn. The
complaint merely alleged that the de-
PENDANTS took part as performers in
the race ins question without any
allegation that they had received any
reward or gain for the same.
The first section of the ordinance
on which the complaint was based
provides that "the exhibition for any
price, reward or gain of any race or
contest for speed on or with motor
cycles and the taking part as a per-
former by any person in any such
race shall constitute violation"
Counsel declared that inasmuch as
the evidence did not show that either
of the participants had received any
reward for their services, no violation
of the ordinance was shown Charles
M. Myers, assistant city attorney.
agreed that the complaint did not set
forth that the riders had competed for
any reward, but contended that the
complaint was nevertheless properly
drawn.
Mr.. Stanley also contended that in
accordance with the provisions of the
motor vehicle law the city of Newark
has no power to make an ordinance
limiting the use and speed of motor
cycles. The ordinance is unreason-
ably discriminatory, he set forth, mas
much as 1t restricts races with motor
cycles and not with other motor yehi-
cles.
In granting the writ, Chief Justice
Gummere declared that the ordinance
was uncertain since 1t did not set
forth definitely whether the gain is to
come to the exhibitor of such a race
or to participant in the race.

AMERICANS WIN
TENNIS DOUBLES
Get Advantage Over English
Player in Play for
Davis Cup.

WIMBLEDON, July 26.-By winning
today the doubles matches in the
series for the Davis cup, the Ameri-
can lawn tennis challengers, Nc
Laughlin and Hackett placed the
United States team ahead in the
series of five matches. They have won
a singles match and a doubles match,
while the Englishmen took one singles
match. To win the cup, the Ameri-
cans need to win only one match OF
the two to be played Monday.
Mclaughlin and Hackett were con-
sidered by experts a week combina-
ton as compared with Barrett and
Dixon at the beginning of today's
match. But the young Californian,
by his brilliant play made up for the
deficiencies of his partner and carried
off the match after a hard fight in
sensational fashion by three sets to
two. The scores We're 81, 6-1, 2-6,
7--5and Ga.
Barrett and Dixon carried off the
first set, games to five, after a
fight in which the greatest brilliancy
on the part of Mclaughlin failed to
make up for the weakness of his
partner Hackett The Californian's
smashing and terrific service had the
spectators on their feet several times.
Recognizing the weakness of the
American combination, the English
men played constantly to Hackett
who netted many returns after des-
perate rallies at the net.
The second set which lasted only
twelve minutes was won by the
American team, games to I. Nc
Loughlin, playing in his oldtime form,
smashed and drove with deadly ac-
curacy. Hackett improved, and his
accurate lobbing paved the way for
many of his partners smashes. Af-
ter the set had reached to /, in
favor of the Americans. Mclaughlin
took a love service and then took a
love game on Dixon's service. Then
Haekett ended the set by taking a
game on his service.
In the third set the Englishmen
steadily played the ball to Hackett
These tactics gave them an easy win
by six games to two. after they had

SuffragetteS in
London Parade

LONDON, July 26.-Many thousand
militant suffragettes paraded
London this morning as a prelim-
mary to a great service in st. Paul's
Cathedral and a subsequent demon
stration at Hyde Park.
The London women turned out to
greet at the cathedral the marching
columns, which arrived from all parts
of the kingdom yesterday. These
marching columns, in emulation of
their American sisters whose march
to Washington to influence legisla-
tion favorable to the suffrage cause
attracted so much attention, con-
verged on the capital along the five
great roads leading to London, which
end at the Mansion House, the CEN
tire of the British world.
The women started out on June
IS, and were on the way for FIVE
weeks. They were cordially received
in all parts of the country, clergy
men, college professors and business
men speaking at their meetings along
the route.

WASHINGTON. July 26-Ambas-

Mexican situation with President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan an
nounced he had prepared a memoran-
dun suggesting the policy the Amer
lean government should pursue. While
declining to divulge its nature until
he had submitted his views to the
President and Mr. Bryan, the am
bassador characterized as impractic-
able proposals for mediation by an
American commission.
Ambassador Wilson said he expect

said, ito question me about any

The ambassador described his treat
ment by President Wilson and Sec
retary Bryan hitherto as courteous
in every respect except one--the send
ing of separate agents to investigate
conditions in Mexico. He severely
criticised both William Bayard Hale
and Reginald Del Valle, who he de-
clared were acting for the admins
tration there.
"I don't think Mr.. del Vale should
have been given the State department

II know he had ii because he went
to the secretary of our legation in
Havana to get help in deciphering
it. Indeed, believe the senate COM
mittee might investigate the distri-
button of the State department code

The ambassador said he had every
disposition to carry out the wishes of
the President and Secretary Bryan.
Mediation however, he looked upon
as impossible because the Mexican
Federal government would not enter
tain such question.
Mediation Too Dangerous, He Says.
II regard mediation" he added, "as
venturing on dangerous seas"
Mr.. Wilson was vehement in his
criticism of the constitutionalists and
the Madero family.
"The Madero family asserted the
Ambassador, "have maintained

there really are none except in Sonora

Coahuila where Governor Carranza is

cause.
"There are bandits in Coahulia,
too" he answered. 81 don't mean
to say that Carranza is bandit, but

therefore, become Bandits"
