SECTIONS OF BOY’S BODY
FLOATING IN CANAL
Horrible Murder Mystery
Baffles Chicago Police.
Body in Three Sections
CHICAGO.—The most gruesome
murder mystery known to the Chi
cago police in years was unearthed
when the legs of a human body were
found in the abandoned Michigan an' l ,
Illinois canal. A few hours later tlm
mutilated trunk was taken from a
mud hole under the Santa Fe bridge,
The coroner's physician refused cne
theory that the mystery was the re
sult of a medical student prank, as
the evidence showed plainly to med
ical eyes that the body had never
been dissected. At first the body was
believed to be thai of a young woman.
Later, however, it proved to be
the body of a boy about 14 years old.
The police are at sea. but are in
vestigating the disappearance of a
Greek lad from his home some days
Ego. The boy, it is believed, was im
ported recently and forced to drudge
by his wealthy masters. It is thought
he either told the secrets of the deal
er’s inhuman chattels, or threatened
to seek redress of his wrongs at law.
The police sought trace of Duionisos
Papadopoulos, 16 years old, 750 West
Eighty-first street, who is missing, a
year ago the ho.v gave the Federal
authorities in Chicago information
which led to the conviction of sev
eral of the bosses of th e Greek pa
drone system. The reason the boy is
being sought is not only that he was
threatened with death at the time he
gave his testimony, but on the inside
of a valise found near the body were
discovered the initials “D. P."

In Convention States Defy
the National Pure Food
Act. Action Against
Wilson
MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich.—A se
rious clash between the stales and
the nation over the pure food law was
foreshadowed by yesterday’s proceed
ings of the convention of the associa
tion of state and and national pure
food departments. The action taken
practically amounts to a defiance by
’he states of the national pure food
act.
By a unanimous resolution the con
vention decided to draft a model food
law which all the states in the Union
would be urged to adopt, and which
contains only such provisions of the
national law as the state officers
deem best adapted to the require
ments of the different states.
It was decided to draft a uniform
state sanitary inspection law, culling
for strict sanitary regulation of all
food factories of all the states rep
resented in the convention.
This action is the outcome of the
charges against. Secretary of Agricul
ture James S. Wilson and the recently
appointed referee board, to the effect
that they were permitting themselves
to become parties to a scheme to de
feat the ends of oure food legislation
and allow chemical preservatives to
be used In the preparation of food
products.
The slates In their opposition to
the federal methods appear to be
guided by Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of
the bureau of chemistry, who is in
pratical control of the convention and
who also Is the controlling power of
the board of food and drug Inspec
tion. which up to the time of the ap
pointment of the referee board was
regarded as the most powerful au
thority in national food control af
fairs.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
BITTEN BT CUT
WBiN DIES
IN JIT
NEW YORK.—Haunted during hor
last hour by a terrifying vision of the
white cat that had attacked her a
month before her death and inocu
lated her with the germs of hydro
phobia, Mrs. Jane Trumbull, wife of
a professional golf player, died at her
home in Baldwin, L. 1., after in her
final lucid moments settling her busi
ness with a deliberation and courage
equal almost to that displayed by the
late William H. Marsh, of Brooklyn,
who died of rabies after he had re
ceived his death wound twenty-four
hours before the end.
The composure of Mrs. Trumbull in
the face of the horror of her startling
vision of the cat and the convulsions
which grew more frequent and vio
lent as the final stages of the disease
developed, was the more remarkable
as opiates were not, as in the case
of Mr. Marsh, administered in suf
ficient quantities appreciably to base
her agony. The horror of the situa
tion was increased, to her husband
and friends, by her repeated supplica
tions to them to kill her. Strangely
enough, for several hours before her
death she was conscious and calm
She directed the disposal of her es
sects and then kissed her husband
farewell.
Mrs. Trumbull about a month ago,
while alone and fondling a cat which
she had owned for years, was attack
ed by it. The animal leaped at her
throat, missing it. and for a part of
a second clung to the woman with its
teeth buried in her nose. When Mrs.
Trumbull had torn the animal away
from her, it raced through the cot
tage, slavering and snarling.
The woman drove the animal out
doors finally, and when her husband
returned that evrn,wfc told him wlmt
had happened, at one.
that the cat was mad, but did not tell
Mrs. Trumbull, for fear of alarming
her. Mr. Trumbull ran across the
cat several days later and killed it.
No svmptoftis of danger from the
eat s bite developed ntil two weeks
ago, when Mrs. Tru bull was strick
en with nervous pr Mration.
Just at dawn or Sunday last Mrs.
i rum bull, who had been sleeping only
fitfully, aroused her household with
screams. She became hysterical and
gradually grew worse.

berta Logan, his stenographer, it has
been discovered, signed mortgage pa

Wildest Bull Enthusiasm

Was Chief Factor.
NEW YORK In the midst of the
wildest hull I'tiUiußlaam that has been

advances. The Steel trust share*
moved to high records also. Brook
lyn Hi)plil Transit and even Intel
boro-Molropolltan moved tip.
The market was advanced without
regaid to value. The movement was
due partly to the tact that the public
had begun to buy stocks hut very
largely to the fact that professionals
propose to have a bull market regard
less of consequences.
This attitude ol the professionals Is
due very largely to a growing reali
zation that the wheal crop tills year
nm.v be a bumper one, and that corn
Is about out of danger. Only an
HVerogo crop has boon figured on
heretofore.
A bumper crop Is expected to start
a booth In industry everywhere. Just
at present tho boom hi largely manu
factured both In business and In the
stock market and especially iu tint

On lit)' curb market there was the
