IMS MURDERED BY Miss Lloyd's Awful ' Death in Cincinnati. HER BODY WAS BADLY MUTILATED. Terrible StrenKth Of Tim Woman's Assailant Shown Hy Tho Break. Inn Of Tho Honrs Of Her Throat Will Ills Fingers Series Of Simi lar Murders In City's Murder Zone Covering Tho Last Five Ycnis Xo Arrest Mudp. Cincinnati (Special). The dlscov. cry of tho body of Miss Anna Lloyd aged 56, of 571 Delta Avenue, sec. rotary of tho Wlborg-Hanne Lumber Company, added another womnii vic tim to Cincinnati's grueiiomoly fa mous "murder zone," and forced the police to the belief that a man gorilla is abroad in the city. The police say that they are no nearer an arrest than they were in Jormer ulnill.ir murders. The body of Miss Lloyd was found on a "MI" of the C. H. & D. Rail road, where It crosses Hopple Street, In Cummlngsville, a suburb. Her throat had been cut and a fag forc ed into her mouth. The marks on the woman's body Indicated thai the murder was tho work of a man of tttrlble strength. In almost every detail, savo the cutting of the throat, the murder tal lies with the murder of flvo years ago of Mary McDonald In the same part of the city, and the murder, two years ago, of Lulu Mueller. All were found dead and strar.gely mu tilated within a very short distance of the spot where Miss Lloyd's body was discovered. Miss Lloyd had been employed, by the Wlborg-Hanna Lumber Company for 1 7 years. She was recently made secretary of the company. Friday night Miss Lloyd left the company's office, in Cummlngsville, alone for the first time at night to go to her home. She wa carrying with her at the time a big Christmas dividend salary that had been given to her by the firm. It was evidently while waiting for a Spring Grove Avenue car that Miss Lloyd was attacked by her assassin. She was dragged for a considerable distance to the spot where, she was killed. There are traces of a terrific struggle, for Miss Lloyd whs a strong woman and fought with desperate courage. But, as in the rase of the other murders, the murderer over came all resistance. It was established in the raso of Miss McDonald, Miss Steinlweg and Miss Mueller that they had been nn proached by their assas3lna while waiting for a Spring Grove Avenue car. In each case the girl was drag ged to some secluded spot. Th.jy were not criminally assaulted, but In each case the hynid bone in the throats of the victims had lieo-i crushed and physicians declared that it took a man with the strength of a giant to apply such crushing force while strangling the fighting woman. No arrest was ever made, the pol ice admitting that they were com pletely baffled. After the murder of Lulu Miller a series of murder3 which occurred In Dayton, Ohio, and in which the victims wore slain in exactly the similar manner, caused tho authori ties to believe that, the mnrlerer had moved to that city, but no arrests were ever made there in which the i proof of guilt was conclusive, though Dave Cnrtlss, a half-witted newspa per vender confessed the murders. No arrests have yet been made In connection with the murder of Miss Lloyd. SEEMS IRE PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY Kcncfactions Increased and Crime Decreased Last Yaer. John 1).

That President Diaz gave Jose Santos Zelaya a little friendly advice in re gard to talking to newspaper rep resentatives nnd -whispered in his ear that it would be wise for him to refrain from too freely express ing his opinions was admitted by Zelaya's secretary, when he returned a card to a newspaper man with the remark that the ex-dlctator of Nica ragua had Just adopted a policy of refusing to be Interviewed and would have nothing more to say for publi cation for a period of six days. Just why six days was named he would not explain. Zelaya called on the Chief Exec utive of Mexico. . Up to that time he received every newspaper man who called at the hotel. After the meeting It was as If a very wide gulf bad opened between him and the correspondents and local representa tives. In refusing to see one repor ter, Zelaya, through his secretary, told him that he wished to avoid being the means of bringing Mexico Into the controversy in any way and that if he (Zelaya) further discussed matters his statements might be mis construed with such a result. Zelaya's visit to the National Pal ace lasted a half hour. He was re ceived by President Diaz In the green room. The Introduction was mado by Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Gar cia Cuellar, one of the aides of Pres ident Diaz, and not by the official introducer of ambassadors. Hence the meeting was devoid of official character and Zelaya was received as a private citizen. The titular President was accom panied to the palace by Francisco Castro, the Nicaraguan minister In this capital, and Roberto Bone, a son-in-law, and formerly Jefe poli tico of Grenada. Zelaya and Diaz chatted for sev eral minutes and then Colonel Cuel ler withdrew.

SAYS WE BREAK -THE LAWS OF NATURE Dr. Stiles on Conditions in (he United States. Address On Tho Hookworm Problem Before Scientific Gathering In Bos tonDiseases Introduced By One Ilaco That Are Fatal To Another Struggle Between Individuals Made More Acute By Tho Racial Struggle. Boston, Mass. (Special). "It Is an unnatural biological condition to have two closely allied Bpecles of animals living side by side In the same area," said Dr. Charles W. Stiles, of the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, in an address on the hookworm prob lem before the American Society for the Advancement of Science. "The white man has brought dis eases from Europe which are deadly to the blacks and the negro has brought certain diseases from Africa which are spreading with serious re sults to the whites," added Dr. Stiles. He thought that the new move-' ment toward more modern sanitation In the South would in time overcome the handicap resulting from two alien races living side by side. More than 30 division meetings marked the second day of the con vention of scientists, and large gath erings listened to addresses on prob lems of great scientific and Industrial Interest. The address by Dr. Stiles was one of the most important. He said, In part: It Is an unnatural biological con dition to have two closely allied species of animals living side by side in the same area. In this country we have four race of animals, viz., the white, the red, the yellow and the black man, breaking nature's laws by trying to live together. The competition of the individuals is in tensified by being extended to a competition between the races, and we must in the end submit to the workings of the law of the survival of the fittest. Cotton Mills Defended. "Different races mav have different disease, and after long generations contrary, that very Immunity may be developed in a given race through the survival of the fittest individuals. This partial immunity to the serious effects of a disease does not imply immunity from Infection: on tho contrary, thta very immunity may tend to make the partially immune race a reservoir of infection, and that Infection, when transmitted to a more susceptible race, will, upon reaching such virgin soil, be very fatal." Dr. Stilts, speaking upon child labor in the South, took a position which some of his hearers might have judged radical. He said: I have never defended child labor as an abstract proposition, but when I compare child labor and child mis ery upon the soil-polluted one-horse farms with chllj labor under the vastly improved sanitary conditions in the Southern cotton mills, I am forced to the conclusion that the lat ter Is Infinitely better than the for mer, and If It came to a choice be tween the two for my young daugh ter, now 10 years old, my duty would compel me to choose for her a life In the splnnlng-room of the average cotton mill of the South, which I have visited, In preference to a life of toil and misery on the average Insanitary tenant farm I have studied. "I am unable to Join in the whole sale condemnation of the South's cot ton mills for 1 recognize in them the best friends the tenant whites of the South have." Cause Of Aurora Ilorealls, Neon, a newly discovered gas, is the cause of tho aurora borealls, ac cording to a statement made by Dr. W. L. Dudley, head of the Depart ment of Chemistry of Vanderbilt University, of Nashville Tenn., be fore tbe division of physical and Inorganic chemists. Dr. Dudley showed what- he claim ed to be the only sample of neon In this country. It requires over 100 tons of air to get a pint of neon. Dr. Dudley has discovered that tho friction of neon against mercury In a Crookes tube produces a yellow light, and when held near a wire less coll, bertzlan waves Illuminate tbe gas. Dr. Dudley's conclusions are that at the magnetic poles of the earth, neon under high pressure because of the cold. Is acted upon by magnetic currents, thus producing the aurora borealls, a phenomenon that has al ways puzzled scientists. Before the Society of American Bacteriologists, Prof. C. E. A. Wins low and G. T. Palmer declared, as the result of their Investigations, that the types of bacilli In a horse, cow and man are different.

THE WAITRESSES' WERE IN A PANIC. Roy McKlnney, Separated From Dora Chnppell, Finds Her A Waitress In Hostelry At Pern, Ind. Shoots Her In The Left Breast And Then Puts A Bullet In His Heart Committed Robbery To Get Cash For Trip. Peru, Ind. (Special). A man who had registered at the Bearss Hotel at L. B. Lenhart, of Chicago, but who, it develops, was Ray McKinney, ol Indianapolis, shot and killed Dora Chappell and then killed himself in the dining-room of the hotel here. The woman, who was a waitress lo the hotel, bent over Lenbart to take his order for dinner, as It appeared to the other waitresses In the room. Lenhart put his arm around her, at If In affection, and drew her close tc him. With his other hand he drew a revolver, shot her in the left breast and let her body slip to the floor. As Sumner Hart, the Bon of the proprietor of the hotel, ran into the room Lenhart shot himself in the heart and fell from his chair, still clinging to the revolver. The wait resses ran from the building in a panic. There was no other guests in the dining-room at the time ol tha shooting. Lenhart registered at the hotel in the afternoon. He went about in a mysterious way, and to several per sons he said he was a deputy United States marshal making Inquiry about a government matter. Several letters were found In the man's coat pocket addressed to Roy McKlnney 938 West Pearl Street, Indianapolis, Ind. The man was about 23 years old. Dora Chappell was 18 years old nnd a graduate of -the Peru High School. She returned home two weeks ago, after having been employ ed at a hotel In Indianapolis. She and Lenhart talked at the supper tablo and at the breakfast table, but apparently had no more than a cas ual acquaintance. According to advices from India napolis, McKinney entered a lunch room there and rifled the cash regis, ter while he covered the man behind the counter with a revolver. Letters found In the dead man's pockets indicate that the holdup and the crimes were planned. It is thought that McKlnney committed the robbery to get money to come to Peru. The letters were addressed to the coroner, the girl's father, Frank Chnppell, of Peru, and to McKlnney's wife, at East Germantown, Ind. In the letter to the coroner Mc Klnney first directed that his body be sent to a medical college and then added: "I loft my first wife because she w-as not true to me. I left my sec ond wife last March. On March 18, 1909, I met Dora Chappell, and went with her two months, at the end of which time I found that she was the only girl for me. I could not leave' the girl I loved. Several day age the girl's father went to InJianapolU and caused me much trouble and brought Dora to Peru. It was im possible for rne to forget her, so 1 came to Peru. I asked her to go to the theatre with me, but she had other, arrangements. I could not sleep, and God knows lire baB been a bell. May God hcl; Dora and take pitv on me. Before I close, I hope that everybody will take a punch t me before I pass over tho great di vide." In the letter to his wife,1 McKlnney said: "I only wish you were with me so I could take you with us,' too." When McKinney came to the hotel and registered as L. B. Lenhart, of Chicago, he posed as a United States marshal and displayed a Secret Serv. ice badge. It Is not known where he obtained tbe badge, as he had not been In tho government service.
