SEEK GIRL'S SLAYER ON TWO NEW CLEWS

New York Police Get Description of Man Who Carried Burlap Sack and Concrete Weight.

SCHENTECTADT. N. Y., June 20.— Search for a mysterious killer who is believed to have murdered and dismembered the body of a young woman whose torso was found in the Mohawk river here, began in New York and other Hudson river cities tonight, following description of the man who is believed to have committed the crime.

Two clews to the possible identity of slayer and victim came to light tonight. One was furnished by Claude Hanlon, keeper of a boat house on the banks of the Mohawjk near where the girl's body was fished out of the mud by a fisherman. He told Coroner Jackson and the police that on the night of May 20 a young man hired a skiff from him, put aboard a burlap bundle similar to that in which the torso was wrapped, picked up a concrete block like that which weighted the body and rowed off down the Btream in the direction of the spot where the torso was sunk. Hanlon was able to give a complete description of this man. The police will not give out this description, further than to say that the man was one easily Identified.

The second possible solution of the mystery hinges on the strange disappearance of Mies May Keada, missing just a month from her home on the outskirts of Schenectady. It is believed possible that It Is her body which, with head and legs missing, lies In the local morgue.

So far as her parents know, however, the Keada girl had no scar on the abdomen, such as Is marks the body found. Her parents are said also to be unable to identify a white skirt and a strip from a petticoat which was wrapped up with the torao.

COMPANY GETS MANY ORDERS.

Railroads Said to Take KKndly to Grease Cup Manufactured Here. The Henry Manufacturing & Greaao Cup Co., of 648 North Fifth street, recently has received several large orders for the grease cup from different railroads. While in Chicago not long ago a representative of the company quoted prices on 250,000 of the cups to an automobile concern but no deal was made. The Santa Fe railroad has adopted the cups and on a test run found that the cup used but three-eighths of a pound of grease In covering 472 miles. The Clover Leaf railroad has placed an order to equip that system with the devices. —-o MOST USED AUTOS CHANGE

147 MANGLED MIES FOUND AFTER BLAST

Victims of Explosion, Torn Almost Beyond Recognition, Brought to Surface By Rescuers.

HILL CREST, Alta, June 20.—Scattered over the mountainside in little groups, women and children, holding close to each other and weeping, gave evidence of the awful catastrophe that has overtaken this little mining community. Groups of miners stood waiting to take their turn at the rescue work. Impatient to help In bringing out the bodies of the victims of the explosion that wrecked mine number 20 Friday morning.

Up the path from the mouth of the mine trudged men, bearing gruesome burdens or pushing little cars carrying several fragments of what had once been human bodies, covered with rough blankets. The wash house has been converted Into a morgue and here the bodies are cleansed and laid out for Identification. At the mouth of the mines, the little cars work steadily up and down the slope, bearing out the bodies.

The population of this place Is "barely 1,500 and at least one-quarter of Its homes have been bereaved by the catastrophe.

One woman, a Mrs. Murray, and hf* children are left practically destitute, her husband and three sons having been killed.

The work of rescue was being carried on rapidly and It was thought that by tomorrow all of the 195 would have been recovered. Up to late this evening 147 had been removed.

Many of them are unrecognizable. Arms are torn out and heads completely blown off, while nearly every body was charred to a crisp, adding horror to the grief of the bereaved families.

Charges Justified.

"Isn't it a shame the prices these New York restaurants charge? "But Isn't it worth something to entertain the class of people they have to?"—Smart Set.

RATE CUT

Indianapolis Figure Takes Place of That of Chicago—Salary Lowering Movement Falls Through.

TOLEDO, O., June 20.—Repeal of the Chicago Insurance rate system and the substitution of the Indianapolis rates, together with futile efforts of insurgents to lower the salaries of head officers, were the main features of today's session of the head camp of the Modern Woodmen of America.

John Dennison. of Dubuque, la., and General Attorney Trueman Plants, of Warsaw, 111., made strong pleas for the repeal of the rate by-law. Past Head Consul W. A. l^orthcott, of Springfield, 111., led the opposition. He defended the Chicago rate system, which, he declared, would have made the order the greatest fraternal organization In the -world.

The Wisconsin's plan of reducing the salaries of head officers was defeated by a vote of 300 half to 120 half. Head officers will receive the following salaries: Head consul, $10,000 head clerk, $7,600 head banker, $6,000 directors, $6,000 each board of auditors, $1,500 each members of the law committee, $20 a day for ac tual service.

Wisconsin delegates proposed that the pay of head consul be cut to $5,000 head clerk, $5,000 head bariker, $3,000 directors, $4,000 auditors, $1,200 members" of the law committee, $12 a day.

The next triennial camp of the Woodmen will be held in 1917, but the selection of a city will be left to the board of directors.

After re-establishing the old Indianapolis convention rates the encampment was adjourned. It was announced that members who left the order because they objected to the Chicago rates will be re-lnsctated upon payment of the current dues and assessments and by filing health certificates. The per capita tax was raised from $1 to $1.20. A special tax of three cents per member per month was ordered levied to enlarge the order's sanitarium at Colorado Springs, Col., and to extend the fight against tuberculosis.
