Little Is known of the history pf tho murdered woman except that Bhe came here from St. Louis seven months ago and that she was mar ried, but living apart from her hus band. Sho had been un Inmate of the resort for several weeks. The head was evidently ca'rrled away by the murderer !i\ an attempt to conceal the Identity of the victim.

A knife seven inches long With a wood an handle waa found nnnr cfealed .beneath the mattress. An opened trunk showed that perhaps the murderer had made an attempt to conceal the body.

POSTAL TEL CO. HAS NO STRINGS So Declares Clarence H. Mackay in His Testimony. (Special to The Dally News.) New 'York, Jan. 22. ? Clarence H. Mackay in his testimony today before the committee of the legislature of New York appointed to examine the question of whether telegraph and telephone companies should be placed under the public service law. stated that by reason of the competition given by the Postal Telegraph and Cable Company telegraphic rates had been reduced from 20 to 50 per cent. He also stated that the postal Com pany waa the only company that had ever succeeded in competing w;lth tho Western Union, and that if the Postal Company should combine with the BeH ? Telephone Company and" the Western TJnlon there would never be another competitive telephone com pany, on account of it being impossi ble to obtain entrance into the large commercial center* ? and to obtain rights of way on highway between great cities such as New York and Philadelphia, and also on account of the vast sum of -money that would be required. Mr. Mackay declared that "The Postal Telegraph Company would be the last competitor in tele graphy, and when that competition ceases there will be a choice only be tween monopoly and government ownership." Mr. Mackay again stat ed that the Postal Company was ab solutely free from any combination, merger, control or understanding with the Bell telephone interests or the Western Union Telegraph Com pany. ROANOKE UNION. The Roanoke Union of the Chris tian Church will meet at the Bethle hem Church, near Hertford, N. C., Sunday week. Rev. Robert Hope, paator of the Christian Church, this city, expects to attend. WILL FILL PULPIT. Rev. M. T. Plyler, having returned te the city, will mi his regular pulpit LEAGUE ADOPTS "ENABLING ACT" Thomas Amendment The Election Petition During the Year 1910 IsLeftOptional With Leaders at the Helm ? Concess ion Made for Harmony's Sake. TO BE STRONGLY OPPOSED Richmond, Va., Jan. 21.? The Vir ginia anti-saloon league convention today adopted, without a dissenting voice, the program outlined by its commtttee-mr- legislation as amended by the resolution offered yesterday by Ex-Senator Thomas of Lynchburg. Statewide prohibition thus super sedes local option as the declared policy of the league. . . j The committee's original resolu tion calls on the existing General As sembly to enact an enabling ;law which will provide for a statewide election whenever one-fourth of the qualified voters of the State shall so petition; . and a further resolution, modeled on that prop'osed by Mr. Thomas, declares it to be the sense of the 'convention, in the event that the enabling act is adopted, that the executive ^committee shall proceed to j takw wtona tn rail anrH an al^tlnn " :?! the. earliest practicable time during the present year unless some new de velopment shall render It inadvls-l able." ^ Was It a Concession. The last clause was added by the committee on resolutions after a care ful review of the situation and in deference to the view of many lead era who held It dangerous to press a statewide fight at this time. That the adoption of the Thomas' resolution was a concession on the part of the conservatives In order to avoid a desperate fight on the floor of the convention, and to prevent a pos sible split la the prohlbltlpft forces of the State Is believed. It is said that there was a fine Italian hand In the addition thereto of the closing clause, providing that an election shall be called "At the earliest prac ticable time during the present year, unless new development shall render It^Btdvisable." There are those who say the "new development" la sure and that there will be no election this year. Enabling Act Sure to Meet Strong Opposition. 'It is conceded thffc the measure asked of the legislature, putting Into the handB of the anti-saloon leaders the right' to call an election just as they deem it best*and expedient, will be met with strong opposition. It is 'predicted that it will fall of enact ment. pn the other hand It is con tended . that the anti-saloon league forces havo the pull to secure the leg islation asked, but that an election will be staved off for at least, another year. As matters now stand the League has practically completed its work and here as at Norfolk, Rev. James Cannon has been_?upreme. His views have prevailed, and regardless of what outside opinion may be he is Btill the reigning poyer in the antl Ifloon league. That the powers who rule are by no means certain of the treatment which will be accortfed the league by the present general assem bly is proven by the qualifying clause which was talked of the legislative committee- report at the last moment. THE YOUNG MEN'S LEAGUE Rev. H. B. Scarright Will Be the Speaker Tomorrow.

PRESIDENT VENTS HIS SPITE Washington, Jan. 21. ? If the Dem ocrats do not change tholr program before the adjournment of the house late this aff^noon, they will hold an other caugnppthls evening to try "and fix up thetr differences over the mi nority repr^ntatlon on the pallln ger-Plnchqt investigation committee, selected by Ifee house yesterday. At the caucus fceld just after the house adjourned jpesterday the Democrats Instructed "Representative James, of Kentucky, 'who had previously been selected for service on the Balllnger Pinchot committee to accept, but in the matter of Representative Lloyd's selection by the house In place of Representative Ralncy. of Illinois, the choice of the Democratic caucus, no conclusion wab reached. It is this question that will come* up In the caucus tonight. IUUpitUSUftllL TJUJU. Uf 1H1BKUU1 1. before the, house adjourned yester day tendereel his resignation as a member of the Investigating commit tee, but did not have an opportunity to make an, explanation because of a point of order raised by Representa tive Tawner, of Minnesota. It 1b said today that Mr. Lloyd's reason for not wanting td serve, apart from the fact that he waa not a candidate for the honor before the caucus, is that as chairman of the Democratic congres sional committee his time Is taken up by that work and the choice of the Democrats as expressed by caucus ac tion was Representative Rainey, of llMpots. *-? 3Mf. Representative Rainey has accept ed the action of the house and waiv ed his clslm. He wishes his party to make another selection. It is be lieved this will be dbne. The Demo crats this evening may decide to ls Bue a statement criticising the Re publicans for thetr-aetion-in-tumlng^ down Representative Rainey after hs had been chosen by their caucus. The Democrats, in commenting on the President's Interference with the house in the selection of the special committee to Investigate the Ballln ger-Plnchot matter, say that the re jection of Representtlvo Rainey, by the Republicans was nothing more nor less than giving the President an opportunity to hit back at the Illi nois congressman for his criticism of the President's brother, C. P. Taft, who with William Nelson Cromwell, a New York lawyer and former min ister from Colombia O'Baldi, was In terested In the matter of the pur chase of the Panama canal. Representative Rainey, say his colleagues, made no direct charges against the president nor his broth er, but merely brought certain facts to the attention of the house.* GREAT 10-DAY SALE AT CLARK'S One of the Largest Ever Held ta Washington.

Were Gagged. BULLDOG GUARDS BODIES New York, Jan. 21. ? A triple mur dor was revealed In aw obscure flat in the heart of New York's East S!de No. io and 12 Montgomery street at dusk todry. Two women and .1 man are the victims, and 1 he manner of death was horrible. Gagged with silk handkerchiefs and their heads crushed with a hammer or axe, they were left bleeding and fully dressed on the floor with a whimpering bull terrier as companion for the dead. Robbery was the motive or else it Is another case of Black Hand. Salvatore Scalpone, a well-to-do young Italian barber, his wife and a middle-aged woman, believed to have been Mrs. Scalpone'a mother, are the victims. ? His failure to appear at his shop today started an Investigation which resulted In the discovery of the crime. Policemen, summoned by the Jnnltnr of tha a>mrt?u.nt, .ni.r.il ihs locked flat by way of a Are escape. In the kitchen. Scalpone's body was found. -It was tied to the door, the face1 battered beyond recognition and lying In a great smear of blood. Near his master stood the whining bulldog, cowering ?<f[d blood-spat tered. The animal had paced aim lessly from body to body, sniffing one and then the other, staining the floors crimson with his footprints and waiting for human aid. In the next room were the bodies of the women gagged as was the man, the handkerchiefs similarly knotted and the heads battered as if the same instrument had been used on all three. But no weapon with which sgch wounds could hare been inflict ed was found in the flat. Inspection by the officer' revealed dire confusion. Drawers we e turned out, cupboards ransacked, :nattresses ripped open and every conceivable hlriinp plnrni fnr mnnny or lninnhb^ pried open. In a little hallway laat traces of the murderer or murderers were found. There, concealed under a potatp sack, was a basin half filled with bloody water, a blood-stained vessel and. a pair of overall*, also blood-spattered. The water had prob ably been crimsoned as the slayer washed his hands before securely locking up the apartment and mak ing his escape by^tfee Are escape. Whoever tooknhe three lives work ed quietly, els* next door neighbors are confuted in their statements. It was late Inst night that the crimes were committed, for Scalpone worked ^ usual In his shop until 10 o'clock last night. Joseph Jingo, Scalpone's assistant barber, alarmod at the failure of his employer to appear for "work today, gave the first clue to the murder. He called at the flat late this after-* noon, found It locked ani??ummoned the Janitor. v The two tried the door but with no avail. Then the police were called and by the familiar flre escape entrance stood aghast before the three lifeless forms. The police are of the opinion that more than oae person took part ?n LUe murder, for with the bulldog on guard and three persons to cope with, one mari^would have been powerless. Also, examination showed that Scal pone's body had been dragged from the dining room to the kitchen where It waa tied. There is no direct clue, however, to?the murderers. DELIGHTFUL RALLY.

Experiment Station. a "f 15?' the Chamber of Commerce ( i citizens last night on the advan tages of an agricultural fair for Beau fort county. The address was made Immediately following the business meeting of the Chamber and was lis tened to with profit by every one present. It Is tS be regretted more of the business men of - Washington were not present. Why they absent themselves from such occasions when they know It Is for their good and the good of the community. Is un enigma. Washington business men must come to the realization rlpht early j that In order for them to grow and develop, for the town In whiclj they live to expand, they must show more enthusiasm and spirit In catering to those :hlr.gs which ore destined to build- up and t arry, forward the city. ' A live, working Chamber of Com merce in any town goes a Ions way toward building It up. but a dead,| stagnant Chamber of Commerce!: works to great disadvantage. The! members of the organization here have got to turn over a new leaf ;f| they wopld see t"he town they love and admire go forward. Every busi ness man from now on should re solve to attend the meetings of this board of trade, take an active part in the deliberations: if this resolve Is carried into execution Washington tr ill hn a town In lm nroml nf Why not adopt such a course? Professor tevens was presented to the chamber by Mr. Demsle Grimes. He prefaced his excellent talk by complimenting the chamber on the fine appearanre of their room. Said he had seen none to surpass It In North Carolina. Stated that he hoped : to present some new facts to the ' members along the lines of an agri cultural fair, and he did in such a manoBMhat when he had finished a vofWof thanks was tendered him. The speaker said the chief object of a fair was to stimulate the grower, to present something better to him than he already knew, and to InBtill In him the Idea th^ he muBt put forth his best efforts to acquire something better as a farmer. We muHt inculcate In the mind of th.? farmer the word perfection. .Only COOK WIZARD DRAWING CARD Large Number Heard His Lec tures Yesterday. This afternoon closes the demon strations of ProfosBor Decker on the Great Majestic Range and also th-? exhibit of the Maxwell House Blend Coffee, that has been going on this wet n over the store of the .7. H. Har ris Plumbing and Supply "Company. Professor Becker had r. large number | of ladies to see his demonstrations and hear his interesting and educa tive lectures yesterday afternoon. On account of the inclemency of the weather which kept away a large number, the professor derided to j postpone the cooking of his famous i "Walking Cake" until this afternoon. \ While the Daily News goes to press before this marvelous feat Is accom plished, the paper hopes to gives its readers an account of this wonderful culinary feat in Monday's paper. He will also cook his eight-pound roas'.. row of sweet potatoes, row of Irish potatoes, parsnips, dressing, etc.. all in one pan. This afternoon promises to bo the most Interesting hour of the demonstration. All the week the ladles have been eager to witness the skill of this magician and they have not lulled to he present. Another pleasure has been afTorded the house wives, that of attending the demon strations of the Maxwell House Blend coffee. All who have sampled thl3 noted brand pronounce it superb and fit for the "Quen's taBte." This week will b? long remembered by the wom en of the city, for they hat*? been made to feel that they have learned something in the cooking line. . CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The pastor. Rev.

Dur ing thfs period the farmer' has ex hibited a vast amount of Intelligence. He referred to the methods of Dr. ndueed the 'farmer plans and idea? of the government; how a visit was paid tp the farm from time to time by this noted expert, and then told what the outcome was. Said England had been tilling the soil for 2,00? years, while America only a few hundred. We nuiBt take care of the soil under our feet. The speaker said he visited Europe the pant sum mer and referred to his visit to Switzerland and Italy, how the farm ers there tilled the soil under such advorse circumstances. We must "conserve our soil. The -time has come, said the speaker, for us to do something to our soil. Unless this is done, and'tfone quickly, the nation is destined to starvation. Spoke of how a iwo-lioree plow dees double the work of a orie-hortc. Ah to the* <luer lion of seed, Mr. Stevens stated thl9 was most Important. What a simple truth is this, that we must Belect good seed if we desire pood results. This has only been in vogue for the last 20 years. You must have live stork if you wish to make a success with your proposed fair. This fea ture means that you will increase your farms lm-rtead of decreasing them. - Cultivate this industry. By you will be able to eni^ince the pos sibilities of your exhibition. Many new industries can be .introduced that will advertise your section and make your people beBtir themselves as never before. I would suggest, said Professor Stevens, that plats of ground be selected and cultivated ad jacent to your fair grounds. This will stimulate the farmers and inocu late them with a spirit of enthusiasm not now possessed. The above Is simply a digest of the admirable talk. It Is a pity more co\ild not have been present and heard the speaker. Professor Stev ens Is doing a fine .work in North Car olina and his coming to Washington is destined to accomplish much good. The Daily News hopes that the city will be honored by a visit from him again at no distant day. according to the DERELICT FOUND BY CUTTER AT SEA Turned Turtle, Probably in the Christmas Gale. New York, Jan. 20. ? A wireless message from Opt. H. H- Broadbent, commanding the I". S. revenue cut ter Andraseoggin, received .here to ulght via Elizabeth cTfy, N. C., details of the discovery of what appears to- , be a three-mas'ed wooden schooner, supposed" to have turned turtle In the gale of December 25 last. The water about the hulk when discovered was alive with sharks; and one of them was seen eating what looked like the torso of a man. The derelict was floating bottom up. and her hull seemed in excellent condition, but it was impossible to make out her name or port of hall. The Androscoggin was In search of the missing steam lighter Columbia, from New York to Jacmel, Haytl, with a crew of eleven men, when she fell In with the derelict In latitude 34.11. longitude 74.17.
