J, Dec. 13— Bound h#md and foot, her head covered by a feather bed, and ngled to death by men who had robbed her of | her diamonds and jewels, valued at | many thousands of dollars, Mrs. Morris Naftal was found dead in her apart- ments on Main street at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Who perpetrated the crime is a mystery on which Prosecutor Ne- vius and the police are already at | work, although thé body of the vic- ‘“"r of the traZ(?’ lies in the lonely |apartments, where some time during the night the murder took place. greatest excitement ensued when |tragedy was discovered. The stre for blocks was crowded with an cited throng of persons, who eagerly discussed the crime and vainly sought entrance to the guarded room. Mrs. Naftal was £0 years old. wore, conspicuously displayed, costly diamonds. Her earrings were large | and valuable brilliants and never were removed. When the body was discov- ered by neighbors, who saw the rear door of the apartment open, the dia- mond pendants had been torn from the ears. Mrs. Naftal's feet and hands were tightly bound with heavy cords. The | teather bed in which she had slept was thrown over her head. A part of it was stuffed in her mouth. On the floor was her pocketbook, empty. The rooms were in great disorder. Bureau draw- ers had been opened and the contents ransacked. The fire in the stove was still burning and the gas in the room where the body was found was blaz- ing brightly. Morris Naftal, the aged husband ot the victim, went to New York on Mon- day to visit his sons—Henry and Wil- liam—who are in business there. Mrs. Naftal preferred to remain at home. She was alone in the little apartment. On Tuesday night she made some small purchases in Cookman avenue. Re- | The the i She | Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass’n ‘A Plain Statement of Beer Depends Upon Superiority of Materials, Treatment and Maturity Purity is a universal essential in all beers. The observance of cleanliness and sterilization will secure it. Healthfulness, combined with flavor and taste, constitutes real quality, and these are impossible without the very best materials and the highest order of treatment. This is what science and experience teach. Materials: To provide the public with a really good, palatable and wholesome beer of the Highest Quality, we use the best barley- malt, the highest grade hops, superior yeast, and in our pale beers a small percentage of rice. In all our beers we use the best and purest materials, regardless of cost. Corn we never use, although it is not excluded by authority, and has the advantage of cheapness. We use no substitute@of any kind to reduce our expense. We spare neither money nor care to fortify and increase our well earned and long established reputation. Treatment and Maturity: We employ only the most modern methods of brewing, and our. present storing capacity of 600,000 barrels is more than that of any two other breweries in the world. These facilities enable us to age our beer the length of time necessary to guarantee its purity and maturity—not in printers’ ink— but in fact. Sredally. b, Quality, depending upon the character of materials and the methods employed, is the real goal for competition among brewers. .. At this goal we have been for many years. It is for these reasons that Budweiser The King of Bottled Beers must angd does command a higher price than any other beer, and at the same time has a greater sale than all other bottled beers.

At the end of that time he fainted and was left in that con- dition by the hazers. Later he was found by his roommate still uncon- gclous. This morning he was carried to the hospital, but is now doing well. Admiral James H. Sands, superin- tendent of the Naval Academy, had the matter investigated by a board of officers this morning. Thelr report showed that Midshipman Trenmore Coffin Jr. of Carson City, Nev., a mem- ber of the third class, took part in the hazing, and that Midshipman Warren A. Van Dorver of Mount Holly, N. J. of the second class was on duty and did not report the occurrence. Admiral Sands immediately suspend- | ed the midshipman and forwarded his recommendation in the matter to the Secretary of the Navy. He would not state what this recommendation #vas in advance of its receipt by Secretary Bonaparte, but it is understood to be for the dismissal of the midshipmen implicated. men—persons who had often relied upon his generosity. He became intoxicated. It is declared that pistols were drawn te force him to sign papers, which the black- mallers threatened to expose unless heé gave them money. From a .few hundred dollars the de- mands of the band ran into the thou- sands. Ballantine was in a fair way to be robbed of his large fortune when he came to New York several weeks ago to consult with his counsel, Carl Fischer- Hansen. Ballantine returned to Charlottsville determined to expose the blackmailing plot. He communicated with the police of Virginia, who were to have remained si- lent until the negotiations were completed in the District ‘Attorney’s office in this city to investigate the standing of a New York man who was an outside member of the band and who, it is said, framed the plot.
