CHICAGO, Sept. 9.—Another day's ipvestigation by scores of ‘detectives, police and citizens, peighbors of B. F. Crawford,” has failed to unravel the| mysteries_surrounding the inéxplicable attack“upbn Miss Mabel MacPherson in her. fashionable/home on Sheridan | road, Evanston, where some unknown | person seriously injured her by throw- | ing carbolic acid in her face. The po- lice do not understand why they have| not been permitted to see and talk with Mfes MacPherson” Hospital attend- | ants, under instructions, have posi-} tively.refnsed to permit any one to see| the young woman.and assert that she | cannot be seen for at:least a week, as hep-burns are of such a nature that she cannot talk. Miss Marion Crawford, daughter of B. F. Crawford, a pretty girl of 22, was in the house at the time, but declines to give any details of the' occurrence. Others who were in the house were two elderly’ women, .one an aunt-of Mrs. Crawford, and her sister. They also refuse to-talk. Tests were made to-day | of .the fluld remaining {n the bottle | supposed to ‘contain carbolic acid, but | it proved to be a harmless liquid.

The proceedings closed with | 2 short ‘speech by Colonel Younghus- band, the Dalia Lama is now supposed ' ta be well on his way into Mongolia and the officers insist that his action amounts to abdication.
