Woman'i Torso Found In Trunk.
The most horriblo and brutal crime
fonimiited In Greater Boston since the
Jeath of Susan Geary, a chorus girl,
tour years ago, and one much resem
bling It, was disclosed by the discovery
on Thursday of the torso of Mrs. Hon
orah Jordan, an actress, aged 23 years,
of Somervllle, In a trunk in a boat fl
ing house nt 7 Hancock street, on Bea
con II1I1, Boston. Later the head
and bones of the limbs were found In
Ihe furnace of the Jordan home at
Somervllle, and the scalp, hair and
other grewsonie remains were taken
from the kitchen range of the house.
Chester Jordan, aged 29 years, an
actor, of TiOfl Sledford street,' Somer
vllle, is held by the police charged
with the murder and, according to the
officers, he made a full and complete
confession of the crime.
According to Jordan's alleged con
fession he accidentally killed his wife
Tuesday night In a quarrel at their
home, and becoming desperate over
whet he had done, went out and bought
n butcher's knife and hncksaw, cut up
the body and placed the torso In a
trunk. Ho then planned to take the
Ffoamer Harvard, which was scheduled
to leave Wednesday night for New
York, and throw the parts of the body
overboard. The fact that the Harvard
was laid off owing to an accident dis
arranged his plans and he was obliged
to hire a hacknian to take the trunk
to a Boston boarding house to await
a more favorable opportunity.
Aeronaut Fell to His Death.
In full view of 25,000 horrified
spectators on the Central Slalne fair
grounds at Watervllle, Mo., Charles
Oliver Jones, the well-known aero
naut of Hanimondsport, N. Y., fell
a distance of 500 feet to his death.
Among the witnesses of the frightful
plunge were the man's wife and child,
and they were almost the first to reach
his Fide after the accident. The aero
naut expired about an hour and a half
after the tragic event.
When the aeronaut reached a height
of more than 500 feet the spectators
nre amazed to see small tongues of
flame Issuing from under the gas bag
In front or the motor. At this time
the balloon had passed out of the fair
grounds. .Many persons In the great
crowd endeavored to apprise Jones of
his danger, but several minutes
elapsed before he noticed the fire.
Then he grasped the rip cord and by
lotting out. gas endeavored to reach
the earth. The machine had descend
ed but a short distance when a sud
den burRt of llame enveloped the gas
bag, the frame work Immediately sep
arating from the bag.
Jones fell with the frame of his mo
tor, and when the spectators reached
him he was lying under it about a
quarter of a mile from the fair
grounds. The gas bag, which fell
nearby, was completely destroyed.

It appeared to be the concensus of

FOUGHT 23 ROUNDS
Referee Declared Attell-Moran
Fight a Draw.
Contest Was Marked by Moran's Ag
gressiveness and Attell'i Cleverness
In Blocking and His Ail-Around De
fense Atteli Had Advantage In
Nine Rounds, Moran Was. Given Six
nd For the Balance Honors Were
About Even.
San Francisco, Sept. 8. Abe Attell,
Ihe champion featherweight of Amer
ica, and Owen Sioran, England's pre
mier boxer in the same division,
Sought to a draw at the Col ma open
ilr arena yesterday afternoon before
about 6,000 spectators. The fight
lasted 23 rounds and at its conclusion
Referee Jack Welch unhesitatingly
grasped each lad by the hand, signify
ing that the fight was indecisive.
The decision seemed to please the
jrowd and there were cheers for each
lighter as he wended his way from the
ringside. The fight on the whole was
rather tame, but this was offset by
the cleverness of both fighters. It was
marked by Moran's aggressiveness and
ittoll's cleverness in blocking and his
ill-round defense. The consensus of
opinion was the Californian did not
Bhow his best form of former contests.
After the fight Sioran declared:
"I broke my right hand In the sec
ond round. After that It was almost
useless. At that I think I won by a
mile. I am willing to fight Attell 45
rounds, winner to take all."
A press representative visited the
Englishman in his dressing room after
the contest and carefully examined
the hand which he claimed was brok
en. It was badly swollen around the
thumb but it was not possible to veri
fy the claim of a broken hone. Slor
an's face was much battered and his
left eye was nearly closed from At
tell's almost ceaseless pounding. On
the other hand Attell emerged from
the fight without a mark. Attell gave
out a statement after being informed
of Sioran's challenge for a return
match :
"I will fight no one 45 rounds. I
want to live a while yet. But I will
give him a return match for any num
ber of rounds up to 25. I beat him at
every stage."
An examination of Attell's right
hand disclosed that the middle
knuckle was disjointed.
A resume of the fight by rounds
shows that Attell had more or less ad
vantage in nine rounds, Sioran was
given six and for the balance honors
were even.
PAPKE KNOCKS OUT KETCHEL
Fight Was Practically Over After
First Two Rounds.
Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 8. Stanley
Ketchell of Michigan, former middle
weight champion of the world, was
knocked out In the twelfth round at
Jeffries' Vernon arena by Billy Papke
of Illinois, who Is now middleweight
champion of the world.
Both men entered the ring in ap
parently perfect condition and neither
had ever been knocked out. Ketchell
had had a decision over Papke In a
ten-round bout.
The bout turned out to be one of
the bloodiest In ring history. Ketchel
was plainly the favorite of the crowd,
which had bet on him at 2 to 1.
The fight was practically over a
minute and twenty seconds after the
gong sounded. From that time on It
was merely a question as to how long
Ketchel would last. Papke fought
with such fury that the undefeated
champion was simply lifted off his
feet four times within the next minute.
He sent Ketchel to the mat for the
count and from his first knock-down
Ketchel never really recovered his
form. He was dazed and bleeding
from twenty blows on the face, yet he
stayed with remarkable determination
and for at least three rounds he held
his own with the victorious challenger.
When Ketchel stepped to the corner
for the second round It was seen that
his right eye was closed. At the next
Intermission his seconds lanced the
eye and sucked the blood, but Ketch
el did not regain the sight of that eye.
Before the finish the other pye was
all hut closed and during the last three
rounds he staggered about the ring
dizzily like a drunken man, practically
blinded.
In the third Ketchel showed his best
form when he forced Papke through
the ropes. In the last round he seem
pd down and out and the gong saved
him Just as he was knocked through
the ropes. Another minute finished
him with Papke almost as strong as
when he entered the ring.

UREED THE MOTIVE
Not a Difficult Matter to Learn
Why Some Men in Pennsyl
vania Shout for Bryan
pENR0SE IN HARNESS AGAIN
Senior Senator Returns From Health
Seeking Vacation More Vigorous
Than Ever Studied Situation Care
fully and Sees No Hope for Bryan.
Scratch the most ardent Bryan man
to be found In Pennsylvania and to a
certainty there will be found an office
seeker, consistent only In his appetite
for public place. In. all other things po
litical he will be found as Inconsistent
as Mr. Bryan himself, who since he
shouted himself Into political notice a
dozen years ago has ever been shifting
his policies and principles, with the
single exception of his incessant and
Intolerable greed for the presidency.
W. R. Hearst, In a speech at Indianap
olis last week, was happy In his de
scription of Bryan when he spoke of
him as "the peerlees prestidigitator
of modern politics, whose hand is
quicker than the eye, who causes his
principles to disappear and changes
his politics In full view of the audi
ence." The country's good has never cost
Candidate Bryan a single serious
thought. His thoughts have been, un
der all circumstances and conditions,
the children of his ambition to be
come president of the United States.
This country and Its cherished Insti
tutions have been and now are with
Wm merely secondary considerations.
The same greed he has Bhown Is now
fairly consuming the most devoted fol
lowers of the leather-lunged aspirant
for the presidency. They want the
postofflces and the petty places with
an utter disregard for consequences.
They care absolutely nothing for the
problems of national government do
mpstlc or foreign. Thpy simply want
political preferment and to secure It
they are endeavoring to throw dust
Into the eyes of the people.
Just now these ambitious Demo
cratic place hunters are manifesting
soulful devotion for the wage earn
ers, endeavoring to wipe out of menv
ory the stern and ever-present fact
that neither Sir. Bryan nor the Democ
racy has ever given to labor anything
but very liberal doses of foolish ad
vice. No laboring man In Pennsylva
nia will vote for Sir. Bryan without
voting knowingly against his own best
Interests and against the party which
In and out of season when political
campaigns were on and when they
were off has stood firm and steadfast
for the best interests of the wage earn
er and labor generally. The record nf
the Republican party so far as labor
Is concerned Is the record of action
and devotion to the sacred cause of
those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows.
No wage earner In Pennsylvania will
be tricked Into following the advice of
the place-hunting Bryan shouters with
out knowingly voting to advance the
selfish interests of the place-hunters
at his own personal sacrifice.
It is worth repeating: Scratch the
most ardent Bryan shouter in any sec
tion and there will be uncovered a
man who is being consumed by his
greed for public place!
United States Senator Boles Pen
rose has returned to his Philadelphia
home after spending the summer !n
the open In the west. During the time
he was away Senator Penrose slept
out of doors and ate only the plainest
of foods. As a result he returns to as
sume the responsible duties of his ex
alted position with his youth renewpd
and his political sagacity sharper than
ever. Senator Penrose, It will be re
called, was a very sick man for sev
eral weeks last winter. Frequently
during his Illness his life was de
spaired of. While convalescing Sena
tor Penrose visited at the farm of his
brother near Philadelphia. When he
felt sufficiently recovered he went Into
the Colorado mountains, where he
found rest In abundance and game In
plenty.
Now that he has returned to the
state Senator Penrose has entered ear
nestly into the fight for Taft and Sher
man. It is practically certain that the
senator will have no opposition for re
election to the United States senate
npxt winter, and in the pending presi
dential campaign he will be able to
make a number of speeches through
out the commonwealth. He will give
his very best efforts In helping to elect
Republican congressmen and all other
Republican candidates throughout the
state.
Immediately upon his return to Phil
adelphia Senator Penrose gave out an
Interview analyzing the political condi
tions In the country and telling, in a
forceful way, why Republicans will
have to do but their plain duty to elect
Sir. Taft president. He watched poli
tics closely during his vacation, stud
ied conditions carefully and managed
to gather political sentiment from
nearly every state In the union, and
as a result of his research and efforts
Senator Penrose said he found naught
but encouragement for tho Republican
party. He says Bryan Is In no way
stronger In this contest than he was
In his former fights when he and his
spurious politics were repudiated and
Ignored. Senator Penrose la positive
that the Republicans will carry tho
tut just as they have dono la the
past and, In addition, he Is of the firm
belief that the Republicans will be
able to carry one or more of the south
ern states that have heretofore beer.
Democratic. He regards it practically
certain that the Republicans will break '
In on the southern congressional dele
gations, for, he says, the young Demo
crats of the south are restless under
the political policies which have har
rassed them all their lives and are am
bitious for better conditions for their
section of the country. Senator Pen
rose contends that there is a much
greater chance for the Republicans to
carry some of the southern states than
there Is for the Democrats to carry
any Republican state in the west.
There Is no question but what the
conservative people 'and Interests of
the country are afraid of Sir. Bryan.
While they appreciate what virtues he
has and regard him as entertaining
and Interesting, reading with pleasure
those of his sayings that are trite,
still they are afraid of that spirit of
discontent which manifests Itself In
nearly every move made by Mr. Bryan.
When he was a comparatively poor
man, struggling (or attention and
money, his discontent was looked
upon with sympathy. Now, however,
when he has grown Immensely rich
by forcing the Democratic party to do
his advertising for him his discontent
Is naturally looked upon with alarm,
and his apparent determination to lino
up and keep lined up the masses
against the classes and to foment dis
content among the people, even when
no political advantage is possible from
such recklessness, the danger of his
elevation to the presidency of the
United States becomes so apparent
that a blind man might see It.
A simple reading of Sir. Bryan's
speeches thus far in this campaign
uncovers his determination to get
votes regardless of the sacrifice the
nation may be compelled to make.
When business men In every 'section
are demanding rest from the conten
tions which have been so grievously
disturbing business affairs, In his every
speech Sir. Bryan Is adding fuel to the
fire of general discontent and doing
much toward the laying of foundations
for a future revolution In this country.
A continuance of the "disturbed condi
tions In this country would be an ex
travagant pHce to pay for votes for
Sir. Bryan, l:ut. so long as the country
has to pay the price Sir. Bryan IS" de
termined to get the votes, revolution
or no revolution.
It Is a fair assumption that the elec
torate of the nation will think serious
ly before casting votes for the presi
dential candidates, and it Is certain
that where there Is Intelligent think
ing done there will be no tendency to
promote discontent and disorder Just
because William Jennings Brypn Is
now making his third attempt to be
