New York, Oct. 13.-A dozen de-
stroyers of the United States navy

the neutrality Of American waters. !

almost entirely torn from the corpse
by the dogs. Doctors who saw the
body were of the opinion that the
child was very nearly, if not quite,
fully matured when it was born. :.
The negro who made the discovery
notified Chief of Police C. L. Bonner,
who notified Sheriff r. C. CARROT. DR.
L. F. Barrier, city health officer, was
notified and taken to the scene of the
discovery. An inquest over the re-
mains would have been useless SO
it was omitted, and the body buried
on the spot.
An effort is being made by the po-
lice to discover the unnatural parents
who so heartlessly could leave baby
in a vacant lot to die, or either lay it's
body there without burial after it's
death. With no clew of any sort to
work upon, the police have a hard
problem before them to solve.
