duced Almost to Skeleton Believ
ed to Have Ben Body of Woman.
New York, N. Y., Nov. IS The
inquest is to be held this after
noon on tho body wund yesterday
in a hermetically sealed trunk in
the rellar of a Fifty-fourth street
apartment.
Tvcn the sex of the victim is un
known. The five years or more
which the body Is supposed to have
remained hidden, Oias reduced it
almost to a skeleton. From the
smalluess of the bones, the authori
ties believe the bdJy is that of a
woman.
Tho body was found by Philip
Meagher, who after eight years res
idence there, was preparing to move
yesterday from the apartments and
opened the old trunk. Tho body was
jammed in tight and surrounded by
plaster of Paris and newspapers.
A zinc tank fitted inside the trunk
exactly.
The only clue is ithe name "W.
Lewis" on the outside of the trunk.
Six years ago Lewis boarded with
Meagher. The newspapers in tho
trunk 'dated from February ISth to
April 17th, 1902.
At the morgue today the coroner
and physicians maJ'e an examination
of the trunk of the lody and found
it to be that of a man.
A surgeon declares that the vic
tim was placed in trunk still alive
and that death resulted from as
phyxiation. Leave "Em Here

FIVE HUNDRED MEMBERS FROM
BALTIMORE VISIT HALL OF
FAME FOR THIS PURPOSE.
"Washington, D. C, Nov. IS.
Around the statute of Francis E.
Willard, which Illinois placed in the
national hall of fame in the capitol,
five hundred members of the Wo
men's Christian Temperance Union,
now in convention in Baltimore
gathered today to pay tribute to the
noted leader.
The principal feature of the gather
ing was the address by Miss Anna A.
Gordon, vice president general of the
union, who thanked the noblemen of
Illinois for causing Francis E. Wil
lard to be memoralized in the na
tional hall of fame.

LABOR'S PROBLEM
ARE RUINATION OF LABOK li la
SAID BY ACCEPTING SMALLER
PAY GIRLS NON-UNION.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 17 Married
women who work are ruling the con
dition of labor in the United States,
according to Miss Margaret Kelley,
who represents the International
l!oot anIJi Shoe Workers Union at
tho convention of the American Fed
eration of Labor.
On the other hand, the most ab'.e
supporters of the unions are the
women who joined the union before
they were married. It is She who
is th big fore in the laboring world,
according to Miss May Nihil, in
ternational secretary of the Sus
pender Workers' Union.
"Married women are the ruination
of labor today," sis Kelley said.
"They ought to stay at home and
take care of their husbands and
families,'' fehe declared yesterday.
."Thev don't persevere, they do the
labor less conscientiously; they take
any pay. A fcullar a day Is good
nav to them, and they are continu
ally undermining the wage stand
ard because they know they always
have their husbands' earnings to fall
back on."
The devastation wrought by these
women in labor circles is more ag
gravated in the eastern states than
it is out west. There, says Miss Kel
ley, it is a general tiling to see
married women working in facto
ries. Uupid keeps gir!s from joining
labor unions, according to tho wom
en delegates to the American Fed
eration of Labor convention in ses
sion here.
"The objection that stenographers"
have to joining the union," said
Miss Mabel Hudson of Chicago yes
terday, "is that they do not intend
to be stenographers anil, single a-'.l
their lives."
"All suspender workers,' said
Miss May (Nihil, Internationa! secre
tary of the suspender workers, "be
lieve they will work too short a
time to make it worth while to
join the union. They expect to
marry."
Monument for Adam.
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 13. Becaupe
of the part played by an apple in
the downfall of Adam and Eve, it
is suggested that the management
of the National Apple Show, held
here this week, should make some
reparation to our ancestors by erect
ing a monument to their memory.
The project Is being given serious
consideration, and it is possible that
this city may be the first to thus
pay tribute to the pair who were dis
possessed of the Garden of Eden he
cause of Eve's curiosity regarding the
forbidden fruit. ,

SEIZE MANY GUNS
SHIPMENT OF RIFLES AND AM
MUNITION INTENDED FOR REV
OLUTIONARY MOVEMENT.
San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 18. What
is believed to be an attempt tfl smug
gle weapons into Mexico has been
discovered by federal officers. A
special agent of the department of
Justice and deputy United States mar
shals have seized one hundred 43-70
calibre rifles and 75,000 rounds of
ammunition shipped into San An
tonio from St. Louis. The consign
ment reached the city Monday, and
the express charges thereon, it is
said, were $170. While federal offi
cers will not discuss tho matter, it
is known that the place where the
riflc-s and cartridges were hidden has
leeu under surveillance practrcally
since the delivery was made by the
express company. This, in connec
tion with the large purchase of rifles
and ammunition made hero last Sat
urday at local stores, leads to the be
lief that this is but a small patr of
the arms, destined for use in a sus
pected revolutionary movement in
.Mexico.
The federal officers will not talk
o fthe probability of immediate ar
rests. It is probable action is in
abeyance, ponding further informa
tion from Washington. The renew
ed activity of United States authori
ties along the border and in towns
on this side of the Rio Grande, in
dicates that whether or not tiiere is
a prospect of a revolution, it will
be practically impossible to smuggle
arms Into the republic.
