BODY TAKEN
FROM MOHAWK RIVER
Authorities About Schenectady ~ Y,
Are Engaged in Effort to Fined
Clues to Probable Murder

Schenectady, n, v, june 20.--A part
of the body OF an unidentified young
woman, whom authorities believe had
been murdered, was raised from the bot
tom OF the Mohawk river late yester-
dey by fishermen. The upper part of
the trunk from the third lumbar ver-
terbrae and the legs from about midway
between the knees and thighs had been
hacked away. The rest of the body had
been wrapped in oil cloth, securely
sewed in a burlap sack, and weighted
down with twenty pound slab OF con-
crete.
City and county officials hope that
a white oyerskirt and the bottom part
of pettieoat which were found in the
sack. may help to establish the vic
Tins identity A minute description of
these articles will be sent brpadoast i'm
mediately.
Coroner f. Holcomb Jackson, who is a
physician. said that his examination in
dicated that the woman was about %
years old and weighted $50 pounds. He
also said he had found slight scar on
the right side OF the abdomen and that
it was not the kind of mark an OPP
Grafton for appendicitis would have left.
Officers dragged the river in futile
attempt to locate missing parts of the
body, Other officers will seek to learn
whence came the concrete weight. It
appears TO have been removed from a
roadbed.
The suggestion that medical students
might have dropped part of the body
into the river or fastened the sack to
the tshermen's set lines was ridiculed
by Coroner jackson. He declared the
body had been cut to pieces by one un-
familiar with anatomy.
The river is not navigable at the point
where the body was found except for
motor boats and smaller craft.

FOUND CARCASS OF DEER.
While Officers Were Hunting Up Evil
dence in Heifer Shooting Case.

Rutland, June 20.--The shooting of a
valuable registered yearling Holstein
heifer, belonging to Charles Fish of Mid
dletown Springs the carcass of which
was lugged away, called States Attor-
ney D. L. Stafford and Deputy Sheriff
D. A. Barker to that town yesterday,
and although they found no clews in
this case they discovered the carcass of
a young buck deer, illegally killed, at
the home of Roy Wright in the town
OF Poultney. Mr. Wright was absent
and no arrests were made.
The skin, head and legs of Mr.. Fish's
heifer were found last Sunday in the
pasture which is located about mile
and a half southwest of Middletown
village by Fred Mclaughlin. The ami
NAL had been shot through the head with
large calibre rife and from the trail
of blood it is thought that ii travelled
some distance after being wounded 1t
was skinned where il fell and the car
cass carried away.
The affair had been kept quiet in the
hope that some elew might be found
but yesterday the states attorney de-
cided to make a search. Accompanied
by Deputy Barker he went to the house
of Roy White one room structure
abuot three quarters of mile from
the travelled highway over the line in
the town of Poultney.
The men found Mrs. White at home
and after they had announced that
they were going to search the premises
she feigned illness and lay down on
mattress which was spread on the floor.
This made the searchers suspicious and
after pulling the mattress aside they
found some loose boards in the floor.
These when removed revealed the car
cass of young buck deer which had
been cut up and packed in jars set into
the earth for cooling purposes
Mrs. White refused to offer an expla-
nation as to the presence OF the deer
meat but later she showed the officers
where the skin of the animal was bur
led outside the cottage. Before they left
the woman had sufficiently recovered
from her illness to smoke cigarette.

Mexican Peace Delegates
Must Accept His Plan
in Mexico
ELSE MEDIATION
WILL FALL FLAT
Ultimatum of the United
States Is Presented by
American Delegate

Niagara Falls, Ont, june 20.-Justice
Lamar's memorandum to Emilio Rabasa,
head Of the Mexican delegation, announe-
ing that the United States must insist
on the acceptance of its plan for the
paeitication of Mexico is an ultimatum.
Unless the Huerta delegates yield, me-
diation will end to- day or perhaps Moa-
day.
This is the firm determination of the
United States as il was conveyed to the
mediators Yesterday Ambassador Da
CANA OF Brazil and Minister Suarez of
Chile asked the American delegates If
their position had changed in view of the
Carranza Villa split, and the reply was
in the negative. 1t was an informal
talk, but served to advise the mediatofs
that the published statements Of the
American and Huerta delegates, with
their opposite views on the type of man
to be selected for provisional president
defined clearly the unalterable attitude
of the American government.
just what the policy of the United
States would be in the event Of the fail
ure of the mediation or what disposition
it would make OF the American troops
at Vera Cruz is unknown even to th.
American delegates. The Huerta com.
missioners say they do not know what
course OF action General Huerta may
pursue. Those converssnt With the
American viewpoint, however, believe
President Wilson is determined that in
asmuch as there could not be pacifica.
tion in Mexico unless the constitutional
lists accepted any plan that might be
adopted here, the interests of peace
would not be conserved by continu-
ance of mediation negotiations

STRIVE TO EXCLUDE
FINN ATHLETES
Russian Government Proposes to Elm
mate Them From Competition in
Olympic Games.

Helsingfords, Finland, June 20.-The
Russian government has determined to
use all its power to prevent Finland
from competing in the Olympic games
at Berlin next year as nation. GEN
eral Steyn, the governor general, will
soon issue a decree dissolving the Fin
nish Olympic committee .nd if Russian
officialdom has its way the Finnish ath-
letes will not be able to appear at Ber-
lin unless they enlist under the Rus
sian flag.
This action is partly due to the gener-
al Russian policy of supressing national
aspirations, partly TO a desire to have
Russia make better showing at Ber-
lin than she did at Stockholm in 1912.
All who attended the games at Stock
holm will remember the contest between
the splendid delegation from the little
Baltic province of Finland, and the far
inferior representatives Of the Russian
nation. The Tinns appeared under their
own flag as a separate body, with a
great assembiage Of athletes, gymnasts,
and swimmers, while the Finnish wom-
en- who took part in the two last
branches of the sports were, like the
ladies from the other Scandinavian
countries, one OF the most attractive
features OF the occasion.
Among the eighteen prize winning ma
tions Finland stood fourth with fifty
two points-only Sweden, the United
States and Great Britain beating her
while Russia ranked only fifteenth, with
six points to her credit. Throughout
the meeting there was constant friction
between the Firms and Russians The
Russians resented the appearance OF the
flag of Finland among the Others as
though she was an independent nation.
The trouble eliminated in scene in the
royal box at the stadium during an
evening concert of singing societies,
when the Finnish choirs sang one Of
their national hymns which contained
references to Russia as the "oppressor,"
and a Russian grand duke with his Off
GERS felt called upon to leave the box
with ostentation.
Whether the Russian government win
be able to prevent the Firms from rum
ming their own show at Berlin remains
to be seen. M lsyolsky, the Russian
ambassador at Paris, is said to have re.
quested the Olympic committee to re-
fuse to recognize Finland, or to receive
the Finnish delegate, Baron Won Willie.
brand, but his arguments were without
result. The only way by which Russian
officials can carry their point would be
to prevent the Firms from going to
Berlin. If they could induce them to go
under the Russian banner Russia would
be one of the formidable competitors
among the nations.

THIRD MAJOR LEAGUE
MAY BE POSSIBLE
By Removal of Draft Rule from Class
AA Leagues, in War Against
the Federals.

New York, June 20.--An increase in
the number of major leagues in organ
lied ball, by the removal of the draft
rule from class IA leagues, is one of
the methods said to be under considera-
tion by the national commission, in the
war against the Federal league. At the
meeting to-day, it is expected the com
mission will grant the demands of Pres
ident Barrows of the International
league and Manager Dunn of the Balti-
more club for the removal of the draft
rule. The International league officials
claim the removal will give the organiza-
tion the classification OF major league
and give them a better position to com
bat the Federals.
