He will convey to the Smithsonian Institution at Washington the remains of James Smithson, found- er of the institution, who died in Genoz | in 1829, WASHINGTON, Dec. ~It is id here that the reason for the removal | at this time of the body of the founder | of the Smithsonian Institution from | Genoa to this country is that a stone | quarry has encroached on the English | cemetery at Genoa to such an extent | that it has become necessary to remove the remains interred there. Bell left this country 2 little more than a week ago. Congress has made no appropr tion for the removal of Smithson's ie- mains to this country, and it could not be learned to-night, owing to the ab- sence of Professor Langley from the city, whether the regents of the Smith- sonian Institution had voted money for this purpose or Bell was acting on his | i | the FIENDISH MURDERER TAKES LIFE g Boys Find the Body of an Un- known Man ‘Who Had Been Brutally Killed in the Out- skirts of City of Los Angeles MYSTERY OF CRIME PERPLEXES OFFICERS ST Ax Is the Weapon Used and There Is Evidence to Show That a Desperate Strug- gle Preceded the Horror o Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.—In a clump of bushes which screened it from view from every point except to within a few feet away, the body of a man was found near the northwestern boundary of the city this morning by two small boys who were hunting rabbits. At first it was supposed that it was the body of a suicide, but investigation by v detectives, tv whom the boys reported their find, disclosed unmistak- able evidence of murder. Who the vic- im was, what the motive and who Special | killed him are matters which have not as yet been established and the case is surrounded by mystery. The body is that of a man of about forty years of age and he was evi- dently a laborer, for it was rough- ly dressed and the hands were rough, indicating that the man had been accustomed to hard work. There was not a scrap of paper in his pockets or anything else by which any clew to his identity could be discovered. Had the crime been committed by a maniac, greater butchery could not have been done. The weapon used was evidently an ax and with it nearly a dozen blows were delivered, any one of which would have been sufficlent to have caused death.’ The head of the dead man was literally chopped to pieces. The right arm was broken and there were bruises about the body showing that the man had made a desperate re- sistance and that it was only after he had been knocked down that the mur- derer finished him with blows on the head. The scene of the murder is in a see- tion of the city in which there is not a house within a quarter of a mile. | Near the body were found torn scraps of an envelope which when pasted to- gether gave the detectives a name and [addres« but what it is the officers have | refused to make public. the dead man were turned inside out and there was no money on the body. The officers are not yet ready to accept robbery as the theory of the murder because no rob- ber wculd have found it necessary to chop his victim to pieces in the manner in which this murderer did. The man had been dead less than twelve hours but no person has been found who saw strangers in that part of the city last night. The pockets of + - +* own iritiative.

It took three explosions to open the safe. After the last explosion the burglars | gathered up their tools and, leaving through the front of the bank, got| away in the dark. The posse fu]lo“ed' the gang for a distance but lost the | trail. While some of the citizens be- lieved one robber was injured, not one of the citizers was struck. The latter were protected from the fire of the robbers by stock pens in the rear of | the bank building. | A posse of United States marshals is in pursuit with little chance of imme- | diate results, as the men had several hours’ start. —_—————— SALOON MAN ACCUSES STUDENTS OF STANFORD Alleged Theft of a Spoon Makes Him Wroth Against Glee and Man- doiin Clubs. OREGON CITY, Or., Dec. 27.—The | alleged theft of a silver spoon from a | local saloon late last night very near- ly delayed the departure from this city of the Stanford University Glee and Mandolin clubs. Following the enter- tainment by the collegiate organiza- tions at the armory and while the members were awaiting the departure of the last car to Portland, some of the collegians entered a saloon and ordered a round of drinks. Simul- taneously with their departure an ornate silver spoon disappeared. The enraged saloon man gave chase and overtook h!s customers at their hotel. He demanded ihat they pro- duce the spoon, but they did not and would not try. A policeman appeared on the scene and the saloon man indi- cated the student who had been hand- ling the spoon at the bar. The police- man searched him against the vocifer- ous protests of the other musical col- legians, but without avail. The liquor dealer insisted that the whole glee club be searched, claiming that his bartender had seen them take the spoon, but the policeman refused to undertake the job and the musiclans departed on their train. —_————— SCHOONER AND CREW MAY HAVE BEEN LO§T Fears Are Entertained for the Safety of the Alta and Three Men on Board.

Late in the same day she was seen off the mouth of Rogue River trying to get in. That night a storm arose and nothing has been seen of her since. wri‘s on it.
