AT SUMMER CAPITAL
President Has Important Offi
cial Matters Before Him.
In States Solidly Democratic He Will
Divide Appointments of Census Su
pervisors Equally Between Demo
crats and Republicans No Judges
For Customs Court Secretary Mac
Veagh to Select Experts For Tariff
Commission.
President Taft has several matters
of oflclal business before him at his
summer home at Beverly, .Mass., dur
ing the week. He is going to take up
and dispose of the matter of census
supervisors throughout the entire Uni
ted States. The secretary of com
merce and labor, Mr. Nagel, and the
director of census, Mr. Durand, are
coming to Beverly the later part of
the week, bringing with them a list
of mimes of formidable length.
The president has fixed finally op
on the policy he will follow with ref
erence to census appointments in the
South. In the states which are solid
ly Democratic the president will divide
the appointments equally among Dem
ocrats end Republicans. He will in
sist that tho appointees shall not be
active partisans, however, but capablo
men.
From the so-called "solid South"
the president has picked out North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri as debatable states and will
trpat them on the same footing as
Not them states, giving all of the cen
sus Jobs to Republicans.
The states where the division be
tween Democrats and Republicans
will be made are Virginia, South Car
olina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Miss
issippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas.
The president definitely has decided
that he will not make any appoint
ments to the bench of the customs
court provided for in the new tariff
bill. While authorizing the court, con
gress failed to make an appropriation
for the Judges or any otner officials.
If the president, should appoint Judges
under present conditions, he would
have to fix their salaries, mis ne aoes
not wish to do. He believes that In
both the senate and house the mem
bers Bhould have the right to express
by a vote their preferences In the
matter. As to the objection that a
$10,000 salary would give the customs
Judges a greater compensation than
that enjoyed by the United States
Corcult Court Judges, the president Is
said to feel that the higher figures
Bhould prevail In both cases.
Mr. Taft has turned the task of
McCUEN
selecting five experts to form a tariff
commission under the new law over to
Secretary of Treasury MacVeagti. Mr.
MacVeagh has authority to go head
and select the right men and the pres
ident will confirm them. Secretary
MacVeagh is expected In Beverly the
InttPr part of the week. Postmaster
General Hitchcock, who is to spend
his summer vacation at Mr. .Vac
Veagh's place near Dublin, X. II.. is
expected to accompany the secretary
of the treasury on his visit.
President Taft told several of his
callers that he did not expect to do
any active work on his message to
congress until after he returned to
Washington In November.
STRAIGHT TIP FROM MORGAN
Said to Have Brought King Edward
$1,000,000 on Steel Common.
It Is reported in Wall street that by
a straight tip from J. Plerpont Morgan
King Edward of England has cleaned
up more than $1,000,000 In United
United States Steel common in the
past three months. Three months ago
King Edward entertained Mr. Morgan
at Windsor castle.
Shortly after that visit, when Unit
ed States Steel common was selling
at from 50 to 52, an order came from
English sources for the purchase of
50,000 Bhares at the market. This
deal. Involving tho expenditure of
about $2,500,000, was made, the report
current states, on King Edward's ac
count. The stock Bold Saturday at
70-4. U is estimated that, less com
missions and with dividends credited
to the stock, King Edward is consider
ably more than $1,000,000 to the good.
Members of the German nobility and
some close friends of King Edward,
It is said, also went Into Steel common
at. the time of Mr. Morgan's visit (I'd
have sold out at a good profit. The
stock has gone up 3ti points since Feb
ruary. BEAR STEALS A BABY
Mother Had Left Little One With Older
Child While Picking Berries.
Reports reached Cheboygan, Mich.,

of a baby eighteen months old
while the mother was picking huckle
berries on the Macintosh plains, about
.Vn miles out of town.
The mother, a Polish woman, whose
name wan not learned, left the child
sleeping In charge of another child,
eight years old. The bear suddenly
appeared and started away with the
little one, frightening the older child.
The mother became hysterical and was
hardly sble to tell what had happened.

Autopsy Shows Schumaker Girl
Was Choked and Beaten Dead.
Body Was In a Terrible Condition and
Indicated Thet It Had Been Dragged
Some Distance Before It Was Par
tially Buried Back of an Old Ice
House In the Cemetery In a Part
Seldom Visited Search Lasted Two
Nights and a Day.
Rochester, Aug. 10. That Anna
Schumacher, the 17-year-old girl whoso
body was found crudely burled in
Holy Sepulcher cemetery, was
choked and beaten- to death after be
ing criminally assaulted, is the conclu
sion based on the autopsy held by Cor
oner Henry Klelndlenst, but many of
the circumstances of the crime, even
to the exact plnce where it was com
mitted, can still be only guessed at.
Although tho authorities believe they
have a clue to the murder, namely, a
broken spade found near the scene,
who Is guilty of (be crime Is a matter
of speculation oj' the vaguest sort.
Suspect Made His Escape.
The stinnge actions of a man discov
ered at the scene of the murder by an
employe of the cemetery directed sus
picion toward him and for a time gave
promise that an arrest would be made,
but the man made his escape, and it
Is not known who he was. The ceme
tery employes went 'toward this per
son, but on seeing them he made off
and they were unable to overtake him.
A description of him was given to the
police and a search Is being made for
him.
For a time suspicion was directed
toward an employe of St. Bernard's
seminary, which is near the cemetery,
but the seminary authorities disposed
of this. It was leurued that this sus
pect hud been III, so that be was com
pelled to relinquish his duties for some
time, mill nad not been absent from his
home for three days. This informa
tions would seem to leave the police
wholly at sea, but some of tlumi assert
that they have clues that Indicate 4 hat
the guilty person Is not a tramp, that
he Is probably now In this city and
that an arrest is probable In a day or
two.
The broken spade which Is relied
on to give some indication of who
murdered the young woman was found
near a deserted pumphouse near the
lonely spot whero the victim's body
wan hidden. The shovel was taken
from a pigpen at St. Bernard's semin
ary, and its use lends plausibility to
the belief that the murderer was not

unfamiliar with the locality. It Is
thought that, probably in the twilight
or after dark, he went after the spade,
having dragged the body Into the
shrubbery, and with as much care as was
possible In the darkness buried the
body In a shallow trench, covering It
with earth and leaves. This must
have consumed considerable time.
Body In a Pitiable Condition.
The autopsy emphasized the brutal
ity of the crime. The body was in a
pitiable condition tho head, face,
chest, arms and hands were covered
with bruises and scratches; the bone
that supports the tongue, the hyold, was
fractured, caused when the assailant
choked his victim: the body was cov
ered with blood and the hair was full
of dirt and leaves, Indicating that tho
body was dragged some distance,
probably by the feet. Part of the
clothing had been removed. It would
seem that the girl, who was of vigor
ous physloue, made a desperate strug
gle to save her honor and her life.
The condition of the body makes It
necessary that burial should be done at
once.
The young woman left her home
Saturday morning to place flowers on
the family graves In the cemetery,
which Is that of the Catholic church,
and when she did not return at night
her family was greatly alarmed, ns
her absence was quite unusual. A
search was Instituted, which was kept
up nearly all of Saturday night, Sun
day and Sunday night, until the find
ing of the body Monday by two olll
cers of the town of Greece. Their
search led them about a hundred feet
outside th; cemetery limits, and they
were attracted to the grave by the
freshly disturbed earth a:id a pieco of
white cloth protruding from It.
The Hpot where the body was found
was well chosen for concealment. It
is back of an old Icehouse In the cem
etery property and Is surrounded by
wild undergrowth and trees. The
path Is seldom used and there are few
tlsltors to the place. The murderer
probably believed that the crime would
Hot be discovered for some time.
