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.

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.
