Ready for Daisy Day.

Although It was officially stated by
the Association Opposed to National Pro-
hibition yesterday that the organization
had only an academic interest In Tues
days developments and was concerned
chiefly in opposing the national prohibit
ton amendment the suggestion for the
celebration of Daisy Day next Monday
is said to be sponsored by the associa-
ton.
Liquor men have been asked to pro-
vide and worshippers at the shrine OF
Bacchus have been asked to wear next
Monday a single white daisy as a symbol
of protest against the Violation OF per-
sonal libery, as the antis regard the
compulsory prohibition measure. The
wearing of the daisies is not to be con-
fined to men alone. and any woman suf-
fraEette or anti-suff. married or single,
may wear one II she chooses.
Considerable protest has been aroused
regarding the proposed wake to John
Barleycorn that an organization calling
itself the High Filters Club Is planning
to hold in Madison Square Garden on
Monday night. An effort was made yes
terday on the part of some OF the OPP
ponents of the idea. including the law
enforcement department of the anti-Sa-
loon League, to prevent the issuance OF
the one night license. This license. how
ever, was obtained from the Excise Com

BODY FOUND IN
A SUITCASE HERE
Continued from First Page.

tho police of the West Thirtieth street
station were notified. They in turn
called the homicide bureau, and when
Capt. Arthur Carey OF this bureau ar
rived his first act was to summon DR..
Hohmann. who directed the removal of
the body to the morgue. After -neir
preliminary investigation the police
relopsed into silence.
DR.. Holman said that there were
two good leads to the solution OF the
murder. The head, which had been
carefully wrapped in paper and lire.
was in good condition except for the TOP
Of the skull. and an Identification OF the
victim ought to be possible. Most Of the
hair had been eaten away by the action
OF the lime, he said. but at the baac Of
the skull was a ridge of dark brown
hair. indicating the true color. A neatly
cropped mustache had escaped tho ef-
feet OF the lime.
The hacksaw method by which the
body had been segmented established
in DR.. Hohmann's mind that the work
was not that of a medical student. He
said the cutting had been very
rasgedly done and suggested that a
butchers saw or a tool OF similar type
had been used. The head and arms
had been cut from the body separately
and were in good condition. The torso
had been untouched and bore no Il arks
OF violence. Except for the missing
lover limbs. cut at the knee. the body
| was complete.
DIR. Holman said the most remark.
able fact was the excellent state OF
preservation in which the muttlated
body was found. The muscles OF the
| forearms had been eaten away. but
except for a small portion of one hand
there was almost no decay.
Wrapped in Towels.
In addition to the lime and newspa
pers the body was partially wrapped
in towels. which It is thought were used
to prevent the segments from thumpint
against the sides of the suit case as y
was carried. A quantity Of cotton wa,
also used to keep the pieces In place
as they had been laid in the case.
In addition to the strong clue Of
Identification from the good condition
of the features the police will be aided
