YOUNG ARTISTS BODY
 BURIED IN SAND
San Francisco Girl Met Death by ngulation-Japanese Artist
 Under Arrest.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-Buried in the sand a mile from her former home at Carmel-by- -the-Sea, the body of Helena Wood Smith. young artist, who disappeared two weeks ago, was found yesterday by a searching party. Death had been caused by strangula- tion.
 George Kodoni, Japanese artist photographer, who had been arrested at Salinas, told Sheriff Nesbitt that Miss Smith fell over a cliff bordering Carmel Beach after they had quar- reled. When he saw the body fall onto the rocks and then into the sea, Kodoni became alarmed at the pos sible consequences and fled, remaining in hiding until arrested. Before ad- hitting these facts however, the Japanese maintained that he had not seen or heard from the missing girl since he left her at her bungalow on August 12.
 The body was found by party of the young woman's friends headed by Frederick R. Bechdoldt, a novelist. A piece of heavy cord was drawn tightly around the neck and a sweater had been wrapped around the head and tied in place with a towel.

GREENBERG LOSES
 $11 AND SHOES Bad Checks Passed on Hartford Ave- nue Merchant Saturday Night By Well Dressed Stranger.


 The familiar drama which needs for characters two men, one a we'll dressed stranger and the other a trust ing person, for stage properties a check made out on some out-of-town man, and for the time of it's acting an hour when all the banks are closed, was put on again Saturday night.
 About 11:30 Saturday evening a well dressed Hebrew entered the store Of Samuel Greenberg, at s4 Hartford avenue and bought pair of shoes, the price being s4. He offered in payment a check for s15, made out by E. c. Sissainsky of Hartford. A druggist, in favor of Samuel Rapoport MT. Greenberg gave him $1l in change. Both appeared satisfied with the transaction.
 Yesterday morning Greenberg's sus- picions awoke. He went out to look for the stranger, traced him to a room which he had occupied with friend of Greenberg, and there lost track of him. Then he called up the Hartford druggist, who confirmed the suspicion that the check was no good. Then he called up the police.

New York, Nov. 20.-An informal
meeting of the Eastern club owners
of the National League was held to-
day when the business to come be-
fore the league at it's annual meeting
and the general affairs of the league
were discussed. After the meeting
President Tener gave out a statement
in which he declared that Charles
Murphy had nothing to do with the
affairs of the Chicago Club, as far as
the league was concerned.
Il do not know what was the f1nan-
cial agreement between Mr.. Taft and
Mr. Murphy when the club changed
hands last winter" said President
Tener, but do know that from that
time on, Mr.. Murphy has had nothing
whatever to do with the league. either
by word. letter or otherwise.
In speaking of the proposed sale of
the Chicago club to Charles Weegh-
man, President Tener said there was
nothing in the National League con-
stitution to prevent any club from
selling its stock to anyone who de-
sired to buy, but he added that Chi
cago interests did not negotiate with
Mr.. Weeghman before finding out
whether they were satisfactory to the
rest of the league.
Governor Tener said he could not

ADDISON MAN
SHOT FOR deer,
DIES INSTANTLY

Addison, Me, Nov. 20.-Another IA
tai Maine hunting accident occurred
five miles from here at o'clock
Thursday afternoon when Ephraim
killed by Lester Burgess, so years old
who mistook him for a deer. The bull
let entered Davis side near the
shoulder blade and passed COM
pletely through his body. He kved but
a few seconds after he fell and died
without speaking. Burgess is deeply
affected by the accident.
The two men. who are residents of
this town, started out hunting Thurs
day, in company with two other Addi-
son men-Earl Chandler and Merrill
Burrell. They were near the Cape road
about five miles from town, and had
separated and were making their way
through the woods when Burgess spied
something moving through the trees
He looked intently and it seemed to
him that he could make out the deer
outline through the underbrush. Then
he raised his rife and fired
There was a cry and, rushing for
ward, Burgess was Mortified to find
that he had shot young Davis, who
was lying on the ground with bullet
hole through his body. Nothing could
be done for the young man, who died
within a few seconds. The body was
brought out to the village 1t has been
decided that an inquest is unnecessary
as the affair was plainly accidental.

DELEGATES LOSE
(Continuedsfrom Page One)

THE depa rtment of labor has also
been accused of craftsmanship. Mr..
Wilson continued. son2the theory that
in acting as mediator In labor disputes
it is performing a judicial function.
That is not true. 1t performs diplo-
matte functions There is no more rea-
sen why the department of labor
should be barred from handling labor
disputes in a diplomatic manner than
there is for barring the state depart
ment from handling international dis
putes.
What we want in handling labor
disputes are men who are experienced
and level-headed and who understand
the technicalities involved. In carry
ing out its work the department takes
men who are experienced and have
the technical knowledge of the en-
ployes side and also men who are ex-
perienced and have the knowledge of
the employers side and sends them
out to perform their work
Speaking on industrial justice, Secre-
tary Wilson said there are still ex-
tremists who look upon the workman
only as a part of machinery of the es-
Establishment.
The convention devoted most all of
the day to the consideration of matters
pertaining to turisdictional disputes.
A proposition to create board of me-
diatioh and Cancellation, to be composed
of three members, to endeavor to ad-
just jurisdietional differences, was pro-
posed by Vice President O'Connell and
provoked a lively discussion with the
result that the matter was referred to
the executive council of the federation
with instructions to report at the 1915
convention
The convention disposed of these jur-
isdctionai matters
The organized drivers of bakery and
laundry wagons were Instructed to be-
come animated with the International
Transfers Union The proposition that
the brewery wagon drivers also affiliate
with the Transfers Union was defer
red for the present
The Carriage, Wagon and Automobile
Workers Union was ordered to drop the
word Automobile from its name and
cease organizing those men in automo-
bile industry who come under the jur-
isdction of machinists and other crafts
Conferences are to be arranged with
in 80 days for the purpose of adjusting

Carpenters and the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Carmen; Brotherhood of Painters

CRAFT IN HARBOR
AT PORTLAND ARE
WRECKED IN STORM

Portland Me, Nov. 2o.-Not for
many years has a storm created such
havoc in Portland harbor as resulted
from the blizzard of Thursday night.
Practically every anchorage was oc-
cupied by small and large craft that
had sought shelter. Every one OF these
dragged its anchor and the four mast
ed schooner Major P. Ickands. which
was tied on the South Portland shore,
was driven on the flats. She was pull
ed off at noon Friday, unchanged. A
number of small craft were either to-
tally wrecked or so damaged that they
cannot be used. One is a power boat
belonging to Park Haley OF South
Portland. which was blown ashore and
smashed. Another powerboat belong
ing to Capt. Joseph York, was equally
as bad off. Walter G. Coffen's boat
also was damaged when driven ashore.
The loft. powerboat used by tho E.
w. Round Co, in the sardine packing
business. was smashed against the
dock and rendered useless. A like re-
suit was visited on the boat OF the
electrician of the Cape Elizabeth Life
Saving Station. All the coatwise
and the vessels who dragged anchors
were being returned to proper places
Friday. No collisions resulted.

LITTLE OPEN FOOTBALL IS
EXPECTED IN TODAY'S CLASH
OF HARVARD AND YALE TEAMS

of the Rugby and basketball play.
That Harvard is not unfamiliar with
lateral pass and bulletlike forward
pass has been demonstrated several
times. notably in the final minutes Of
the Pennsylvania State game.
Harvard Line Stonewal
So far as can be judged by play in
the preliminary games of the season, the
Harvard defence appears to be stronger
and more cohesive than that of Yale.
Speaking broadly, there has not been an
eleven this fall that could penetrate the
Crimson line for consistent gains that
resulted in a touchdown. Yale has shown
in several games that her forwards were
not invulnerable. Given possession of the
ball, the backfield, with its mixed at
tack. is hard to hold in check and the
forwards swing into almost every play
with speed and strength. On the de-
fence, however there is neither the same
checking power or the same rapid and
effective cooperation between line and
secondary formation. Facing an attack
such as Harvard has relied upon for
most of its gains this season, this is a
serious defect. In the kicking depart
ment of play the two elevens appear
to be evenly matched. Legore. the Yale
fullback, drives the ball further than
either Mahan, Hardwick or FRANKIE. but
his punts are not so we'll timed or as
effectively placed as those of Harvard S
backs and there is lacking. as a rule,
clean covering by the ends which has
been a noticeable feature of the Grim
sons game. In field goal kicking, Har
ward. even with Capt. Brickley eliminat-
ed, is far superior to the Blue. In the
eight games to date Cambridge players
led by Mahan have scored five times
over the bar, while not a single aerial
point has been made by Yale. Legore' s
attempts against Princeton were ex-
tremely amateurish and he appeared in
them to lack the confidence and power
that so distinguished his punting.
Quarterback generalship and the ele-
ment of luck are two important factors
which will have a decided bearing on the
outcome of the play and cannot be fore
cast with any degree of certainty.

S0L0N Man GOES
OVER CARATUNk
FALLS-IS SAVED

Scion, Me-, Nov. 20.--While at work
in the crew that has been repairing
the dam at the International Paper
Co. at Caratunk Falls, the other day
w. f. Tuscon, who was mailing cleats
on the dam. missed his footing and
went over the apron landing on the
rocks below, a distance of about 25
feet. Tuscan was fortunate enough to
strike on his feet and escaped with a
severe shaking up and cut on his
thigh. The crew above was obliged to
let down rope to assist him to the
upper part of the dam. Fortunately
there was no water going over the
dam or the consequences might have
been far more serious.
