WAND ARM OF GIRL FISHED FROM RIVER

Police Think They Now Have Basis Upon Which They Can Learn Identity of Torso.

SCHENECTADY, N. Police of Schenectady

Y., July 4.— declared to

night that as the result of two gruesome finds today they expect within a few days to learn the Identity of the girl whose torso was found floating in the Mohawk river June 19.

Norman McL Niven and his brother, while canoeing about half a mile below where the body was picked from the river, this afternoon found the head. Fred Looman, who was boating with two girls about half a mile above where the torso Was found, fished an arm from the river. The arm was badly decomposed, but the hand showed that the girl had not been used to rough work. The head is in a good enough state of preservation for a friend to identify. A handkerchief, tightly knotted about the neck, apparently to prevent bleeding, it is hoped, may prove a clue. The hair Is short and black.

Coroner E. H. Jackson, who examined the head and arm, found a cut through the right cheek. The fact that no blood was congealed in the cut led him to believe the cut was made as the head had been thrown into the river. The teeth are well preserved, none being filled.

The arm had been unjointed at the shoulder. About it was a piece of undershirt and a waist of fine texture.

SERVANT SPECULATOR SAVED BUT 32 CENTS

Tells Court How Fellow Workers Gave Him Money and How He Lost $65,000 of It.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 4 Thomas Loury, once a coachman and later a messenger for a big banking firm in this city, was given a hearing In court late yesterday to explain how he lost all but thirty-two cents of $65,000 entrusted to him for Investment by servants In the wealthy and fashionable section of the city. "I had done a little speculating with my own money," he said, "and made a bit and lost a bit. A woman, who worked in the household where I worked heard of my luck. She gave me $200 and I made $42 for her and gave her the money. After that the servants worried me to death to take their money and speculate for them.''

Loury then told how he lost in bucket shops over a period of years monty entrusted to him. "Then as I see It," said the court, "you iobbed these poor servants and then the bucket shop robbed you." "That's about it," said Loury, sorrowfully. "If I had done just the opposite tc what I did mostly, that is buy befoi a raise, I would have made a lot of money."

Loury became a bank messenger in the firm of the banker for whom he was a coachman for more than twenty years.

Although he handled large sums of money for the servants he never changed his mode of living and thfc court learned he apparently did not sjvond a cent upon himself.

The prisoner was committed to jail for further Investigation.

WILSON GIVES VIEWS ON HOPES FOMIE II.S.

Nation's Chief Executive Expresses Opinion That Flag Should Stand For Humanity Also.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 4. President Wilson's hopes for the United States as a world power were given here today when the chief executive spoke at the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. "If American enterprise, In foreign countries, particularly In those countries which are not going to resist, takes the shape of imposing and exploiting the mass of the people,'' he said, "it ought to be checked and not encouraged. I am willing to get anything for an American that I can obtain except the expression of extortion. America will come into the full light of the day when all shall know that she puts human rights ahead of all others and that her flag is the flag not only of America, but of humanity. "Eighty-five per cent of the Mexican people have never been allowed to have any genuine participation In their own government or to exercise any substantial rights with regard to the very land they live upon. I know that the American people have a heart that will beat just as strong for the millions in Mexico as it has beaten or will beat for any other millions else--where In the world, and that when onqe they conceive what It Is at stake they will know what ought to be done in Mexico."

Speaking of the Panama tolls question, the president sad: "The most distinguished nation In the world is the nation that can and will keep its promises even to its own heart. And I want to say parenthetically that I do not think anybody was hurt. I cannot be enthusiastic for subsidles to a monopoly."

INJECTING TEP" INTOJAMPAIGN

Continued from Pag* On*

week, when, at a meeting of the democratic state committee, he said that the democrats in Indiana must stand squarely by the president and his £ol^ cles. The governor declared that the democrats must accept the challenge of the republicans and progressives, which undoubtedly will be their plan of campaign.

It Is hot believed that Roosevelt, Be(verldge and other progressives will be able to induce many democrats to vote their ticket in Indiana if they continue their attacks on the president and his administration. Roosevelt and Beveridge hold exactly the same views on the tariff that are held by the republican leaders. In fact, there never appeared to be much difference between James E. Watson and Beverldge on the tariff. Both claim to have fathered the tariff commission Idea.

Many Insist that the talk of a tariff commission Is merely a,scheme to cover up the real purpose of men like Rooseivelt and Beverldge to stand for a high protective tariff. In making the Wilson administration the issue, It Is hot unlikely that Roosevelt and Beverldge will do the democratic party a real favor in Indiana by causing the democrats generally to feel that their party is the center of attack.

Governor at the Front.

Governor Ralston gave the democratic leaders a great deal of encouragement here this week when he stated that he expects to work early and late for the success of the ticket this year. The governor In the last twenty years probably has made more speeches than any other democrat In the state. He says that he will be found In the thick of the campaign every day after it Is opened this year.

The governor is very much in earnest about the state administration. He Is keeping In touch with the charges the republicans are making and Is confident that it will not be difficult to answer them. The speech the governor made to the democratic editors at the Evansville meeting regarding state finances has attracted state-wide attention and has gone a long ways towards removing whatever erroneous impression the republicans may have made.

The governor is to do most of the talking about state Issues. Senator Shlvely will discuss them also, but he will pay more attention to national Issues. Senator Kern expects to take an active part in the Indiana campaign, as does Vice-President Marshall.

Owing to the big fight the progressives are making it is apparent that Indiana will be one of the real battle grounds of the 1914 campaign. The leading men of all parties have been invited to take part

Chairman Hays will have to depend more on the outside speakers, as there are no orators on the republican ticket. Beverldge will do most of thfe speaking for the progressives, but he has developed a number of strong speakers like W. D. Headrick, of Indianapolis, who will be of great help to him. Beverldge has been assured also that if Roosevelt speaks anywhere he will come to Indiana.

Chairman Korbly Is making a determined effort to get president Wilson to come to Indiana for two or three speeches and he expects to succeed.
