WOMAN WATCHED
MANS SKELETON
New York Police Have An
other Battling Murder Mys-
terry on Their Hands.
FIND BONES NEAR RIVER
Two Boys Make Discovery After Be-
coming Suspicious of Girl Who
Visited Spot Daily.

New York, Sept. 16.-The police Of this
city ana Yonkers united today in an
attempt to solve another murder mys-
tery which just now seems as bafiing
as the great Hudson River murder mys-
terry seemed a week ago. For three
months a woman, aged about thirty. well
dressed. and pretty. has been seen al
most daily on the cliffs overlooking the
Hudson River just above Yonkers. As
she struggled up the precipitious HILL
side yesterday afternoon she came upon
two boys driving a wagon. She asked
to be driven to Hastings.
Her manner aroused the curiosity OF
the boys. who later returned to the spot
where the woman had been seen, clam
bered down the rocky hillside, and sud
denly came upon the skeleton Of a man.
The flesh had wasted from his bones,
but parts OF his clothing remained.
Near by was found a woman's dress
filled with stones. This had evidently
been the weapon and the man had been
murdered
Efforts to trace the woman failed, and
It is believed that she is hiding in this
city. as the theory OF the polir" IS that
some psychological force compelled her
to return to the spot
According to the boys description she
wore widows weeds and her face showed
the strain of some strong emotion. At
times she was incoherent.
Persons living in the vicinity of the
spot where the body was found said they
had seen the woman around the vicinity
almost daily all summer.
Nothing could be found by which the
slain man could be identified.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS

Advocacy of the short bread bill
which would give the Commissioners the
power to regulate the weight, size, sale
and wholesomeness of bread sold TO the
people OF the District, and the election
of officers for the ensuing year was the
principal feature of the meeting Of the
Petworth Citizens Association last night
at the Petworth NJ. E. Church.
Coincident with the discussion of the
merits of both bread bills submitted for
the approval of its members by the Com
missoners, the association considered the
plan to ask for legislation providing for
the wrapping of all bread. Though sew
eral members strongly advocated steps
toward obtaining legislation in this mat
ter, no action on IL was taken by the
association.

Charles J. James. one of the delegates
of the association who attended the hear

the members present why he thought

He said the bill empowered the District
Commissioners 10 make the regulations
regarding the traffic of the commodity
and he thought the heads of the local
government would do their best 10 crafty
the needs of the consumers. They would
and could, under the provisions of this
bill, he said. enact regulation to suit
peculiar. conditions that might arise at
any time. On the contrary, the other bill,
he said. if enacted into law. would pro-
vide specific regulations regarding the
weight, wholesomeness and other features
of the traffic. but could not be changed
without considerable difficulty in case
an emergency would arise that no phase

Not Taken Seriously.

The statement that Mrs. Pankhurst
would like to talk with President Will
son and to address Congress If she
Is allowed 10 come to Washington was
received in various ways here last
night.
At the local headquarters Of The
cause" there was nothing but enthusi-
asm for Mrs. Pankhurst's plan. Suf-
fraEe leaders were for" il. and said
that They would make every effort in
their power to arrange an interview
with the President for the command
Of English militanCy. and that they
would set about instanter to try and
get her the privilege of addressing
both Houses Of Congress. This is all
in case. OF course. the militant leader
is allowed to land on American soil.
This phase Of Mrs. Pankhurst's visit
is not taken seriously, but, in case
there is any attempt made to keep
her from landing on the ground that
She is an undesirable alien. the local
-HffraEistS have engaged the services
nf Miss Emma Gillett, dean of the
Washington College of Law, and At
ior1ey George. Macdonald as legal ad-
,isers.

famous militant were mixed.
