n WEATHER-BEATEN human skull con-
~ tanning part Of eyebrow and a few
wisps of hair was recently turned over to
Grant Williams, retired policeman, former cap
tain in charge of the bureau of missing persons
OF the New York police department. 1t belonged
to the skeleton of woman found by boys at the
top of Cheesecock mountain near Haverstraw, N.
Y, while they were trampng through that lonely
and infrequently visited spot the morning Of
April in search of trailing arbutus.
Cursory examination revealed nothing. What
rainent had clothed the body the winters rain
and snow had rotted away Coroner William
Stahlman of Rockland county established, after
careful examination that death had been
caused by three terrific blows on the head. The
case was proclaimed murder mystery and, after
several days had been devoted to fruitless efforts
at Identifying the victim, seemed destined to be-
come an unsolved crime.
There was only one person concerned in the
investigation who felt any confidence in getting
results. That was Mrs Mary Hamilton, police
woman, attached to the office of the chief inspec-
tor of police of New York city. 1t was she who
turned the skull over TO Williams.

head of the bureau of missing persons She
membered that in 1916 he had taken the skull Of
a skeleton found in an abandoned farm on the
outskirts OF South Brooklyn, one OF Greater New
Yorks sparsey settled sections, and had rebuilt
the features so that they were recognized those

few days later, found another skeleton.
Clothing attached TO the remains contained
piece Of paper which identified 1t the skeleton
of La Rosa's dearest friend, both Of whom had
disappeared simultaneously. This discovery proved
that Williams's face reconstruction by no
means a chance feat. Mrs. Hamilton remem-
bered this and that was what mpelled her to
take the skull found on the top of the mountain
near Haverstraw TO the retired police official.
Williams worked on the skull three days. He
reconstructed the ieshy coverings with pastiline.

matched the hair and eyebrows from what re-

NEW TARIFF WILL REVIVE
 FISH TRADE

SEATTLE, Sept. 2S.--The tariff law which becomes effective at midnight on October 3, placing duty of two cents a pound on fish, is expected to deter the shipment and conditioning of fish here. American fishermen who have hitherto landed their catches at Prince Rupert are expected to make Ketchikan their base of operations, the fish being iced there and brought to Seattle for curing It is also ex- pected that the market for Alaska her ring will be increased through the shutting out of Scotch and Scandin- avian imports by the duty imposed. Local brokers anticipate an immediate acceleration of the movement of Alas lla fish. The majority of fishermen who have been operating in Canadian waters are said to be Japanese, who are likely to return to Japan as a re- suit of the new order.

P0INCARE IN LONDON
 GUARDED NIGHT, DAY

LONDON, Sept 23.-All the precau- tions taken to guard the crowned heads who from time to time have vis- ited London, paled into insignificance compared with those taken to protect the French Premier while here recent ly to do his best to try to make Ger many pay up. It is said they were due to the discovery, before he left Paris, that he had been marked down for murder by the German plotters who killed Dr. Rathenau.
 Nearly 100 detectives were detailed to guard M. Poincare, including 30 sent over by the Paris Surete, the equivalent of London's Scotland Yard. Day and night ceaseless watch was kept over him. The hotel at which he stopped was surrounded by police. Several detectives were stationed at the hotel as guests, the better to look out for any suspicious characters who might try to approach him. Even the preparation of his meals was superin- tended by chefs who were brought over from Paris.
 When the time came to leave the hotel each morning for the conference at Downing Street, he was accompan- jed downstairs from his suite-he never user the elevator-by as many as eight or more detectives who sur rounded him and escorted him to his motor car. He was simply rushed into the automobile and at once the streets through which he was to journey were cleared as if by magic and speed linn itations were ignored.
 During the French Premier's stay detectives secured Soho and other haunts of anarchists or Communists, listening and searching for any word or move that might denote conspir- acy against M. Poincare's safety. Perhaps he himself had nothing to do with it, but such extraordinary pre- cautions certainly conveyed the i'm pression that while in London he was in deadly fear of his life.

Dis cussing the reopening of the South pany while the strike was still in progress, the report stated that w. J. Lester, owner of the mine was either Woefully ignorant of the dan ger involved, or was determined to risk the inevitable strife and con- flict in his greed for profit. The re- port stated that the excuse was giv- en by Black that there was a nation al law forbidding him to call troops on the request of the sheriff. The sheriff was Melvin Thaxton, a mem Der of the Miners Union and a can- didate for county treasurer. The re- port stated that Thaxton had failed to take adequate measures to pre- serve peace either through his sympathy with the strikers or his fear that it would hurt his candidacy That he had plenty of time to learn of te projected attack was maintain ed by the report, which also stated that a telegram from President Lewis, of the Mine Workers Union, to State Senator William Sneed, had resulted in local hardware stores being ransacked for arms and am munition.
