PERHAPS A MAFIA VICTIM Many Italians See Countryman's Body WJthout Recognition, but He Is Believed to Be Stub born Witness in Trial. BAN FRANCISCO, April" 6. Tonight the police of the city are working upon a murder mystery which promises to de velop into the equal of those which have made San Francisco famous. Ever since the time late last night when the headless, armless and legless body of an Italian, about 22 years old, was found, still quivering, a mo ment after it had been dropped by an unknown, every effort has been made to learn the identity of the victim, the mur derers, and the motive which prompted the deed. The head, arms and legs of the man whose dismembered remains were found on Vallejo and Powell streets last night were picked up by two boys in the bay near Meiggs wharf th,ls afternoon. The head was that of a young man, an Ital ian, and it is the belief, although the head has not yet been identified, that It is that of Rosario Domina, who ap peared as a witness in the case o Gui seppi Brogado for murder which took place on January 21" last. The feet and head were In a sack in which was a coat of the dead man. The coat is a blue serge, but nothing in the pockets revealed the identity of the mur dered man. The police, however, now look for an early identification of the body. A throng of people passed through the morgue In continuous procession tonight, most of them coming from the Italian quarter, but none could recognize the remains. It is the Impression of the police that Domina met his death because of his per sistence in refusing to alter his testi mony In the Brogado case. The indications -are that the man was murdered last night while he was at sup per. The autopsy surgeon today found spaghetti in the throat. An unusual feature of the case today was the emnloyment of bloodhounds, a rare occurrence in city detective work. While the dogs assisted in the finding of a number of blood-stained spots in the neighborhood, they did not produce any new clews that led to new developments. The course of the dogs was followed by an excited throng of several thousand -I people who greatly hampered the move ments of the intelligent animals. The police were unable to cope' with the crowd. How Crime Was discovered. The dismembered trunk was found by an inquisitive youth named George K. Olivia. Olivia saw a man walking along ahead of him with some strange shape In his arms. The mysterious object was wrapped in a bright red blanket. His curiosity aroused, the boy followed, thinking perhaps the man carried some stolen object. At one point he passed tne bearer of the load and peered curi ously into his face. The man only swerved to one side. He crossed the street, and looking quickly about, depos ited the bundle in a doorway. Then he hastened on, Olivia followed at some dis tance. They had gone a short distance when Olivia returned to the bundle. He looked closely at it for a moment, then put his hand on the blanket, feeling it to discover Its contents. Failing, he put his hand under It and felt. It was wet, and the withdrawn hand looked red in the glare of an elec tric light. Filled with horror. Olivia yelled lustily for attention. Two boys came and partly removed the blanket and a shawl. The headless trunk lay revealed In the uncertain light. The cries of the boys brought out the neighbors. Then a message was sent to the police station, not far away. Officers came, but they were confused and time was lost. The man who had borne this dripping thing along had gone. He could be traced back some distance to drops -and splashes of blood, but the ghastly trail was lost, Mafia Is Mentioned. It is the fact that the murdered man was an Italian or Sicilian that at once brought the word "Mafla" to the detec tives lips. If this organization, reported to be very strong in San Francisco, was the Instigator of the fiendish crime, the police will doubtless find a. thousand ob stacles put in their way, and amateur in vestigators who get too curious will find themselves in positive danger. All of th best detectives under Captain Bur nett are working on the case. It Is strange that In all the multitude of Ital ians which filed past the slab in the morgue not one recognized the man, but the features were naturally distorted. The red blanket around the body was tied with heavy twine, and the knots used were those made by fishermen. On the head today were two long gashes in the scalp, and one of the eyes was closed from the force of a blow. In searching through the coat tonjght, the police found that the label contained the word "Denver." This was the only word decipherable. HOUNDS FIND BLOOD SPOTS Oetectives and Crowd Follow Dogs From 4House to House. . SAN FRANCISCO, , April 6. The wom an's ehawl and blanket, which were wrapped around the headless and limbless corpse are regarded by the detectives as Important clewst and every effort Is be ing made to find their former owners, The three bloodhounds which were put upon the track were greatly hampered in their work by thousands of curious spectators. After nosing about the spot where the body had b&en deposited, they darted through an opening leading to blarksmith shop and stable far In the rear and which is run by V. Canton. Detectives followed the dogs and were startled to find that the animals went directly to pieces of boxwood which were bespattered with what appears to be hu man blood. The dogs circled around and around and then dragged their followers back to the street, across and up Vallejo street. Here, just near the curbing, were found more blood spots, .indicating that the murderer had shifted the body and sMowed some of the blood to trickle to the ground. Up the street the dogs raced, followed by a throng that yelled and shouted: "They are on the trail!" At Vallejo and Mason streets the dogs turned on Mason street and went north, keeping to the right. with noses to the ground they lumbered along until a little green gateway, labeled 1614 Mason street, was reached. . Here they paused and. pawed at the gate and the detectives opened it. The dogs jumped into the yard and v circled around and sniffed, then appeared confused. They halted at a garbage can, but soon one made fOr the rear entrance to 1616 Mason street. "When the -detectives came to the doorway they-looked dowp and there they saw four drops of blood, human gore, and evidently fresh. Through' the door way the hounds went and such of the officers followed as could crowd Into the narrow place. At the front door, which la not Iar from the rear entrance, the hounds halted. A rickety stairway leads to the second floor of the house which is a tenement in which eight families live. The place Is owned by Peter Fanning, but he could not give the police any Idea of the names of the parsons residing there, most of whom were absent. The bloodhounds then went out of the building and towards Green street. Here they ran right up tcr-the door at 731 Green street, which Is a vacant flat. Sand had been sprj-ikled on the doorstep vory lately. for the prevailing high winds" had not blown it away, and on the door near the handle were two very distinct finger marks stained Into the wood in blood. 'The detectives entered the place and made a thorough search of the premises. but there was no sign of It having beenJ used lately. Meanwhile the dogs were outside and trailed up an alley to the rear of 729 Green street. There they en tered a gate and discovered a spot where earth had been newly dug. Detective Ed Gibson called for a shovel, but the small excavation did not reveal any hidden members of the body. Here, apparently, the dogs lost the trail. SHE ACTED IN COURT Edna Wallace HopperShowed Talent, Says Counsel. CANAL DEED IS CLEAR NOW No Obstacles to Construction of Cut by Government. SALEM, Or., April 6. (SpeciaL)-The Cclilo Canal Commission, composed of tho Governor. Secretary of State and State Treasurer, today signed the deed conveying to the United States the right ot way ror tne construction or a Gov ernment canal between The Dalles and Celilo. At the request of the Government of ficials, the state has several times made corrections in conveyances in order to remove defects from the chain of title. and now the commission feels confident that the title ie perfect and that there is nothing, so far as the right of way Is concerned, to prevent the Government from proceeding with the construction of the canal. The canal right of way cost the state 574,000. The Portage Railway Commission, com posed of these same officers, held a meet ing today and received the report of the engineer in charge of the work on the portage road. The report shows satisfac tory progress, though it Is stated that a "walking delegate" appeared on the scene last Friday and Induced the work ers on the pile-drivers to strike for nine-Hour day at the same pay received ror a ten-hour day. As a -consequence the briagework was retarded. The greater part of the grading and bridgework has been completed, and one and three-quarters miles of track have been laid. Four cars of steel rails were received Monday, and the traok-laying will proceed rapidly. To all appearances. the road will be completed by the appoint ed time. May 15. There are now at work 29 teams and 136 men. Dunsmuir Will Case Enlivened by Grilling of ' Actress by Defend ant's 'Attorney, Who Pays' Her Left-Handed Compliment. VICTORIA, B. C, April 6. Defendant's counsel began Their Innings in the Hopper- uunsmuir wm case -toaay, ana r. r. Davis, K. C, grilled the actress. He said her case could not succeed unless tho court could be made -to believe defend ant's witnesses were perjurers. The evidence of Edna "Wallace Hopper was not to be believed at all. because she was contradicted by men whom the court must believe. Hor career as an actress had been very successful, but she was never better as one than when she stood in the witness stand and told her story In this action. Mrs. Hopper's position was that from 1S97 Dunsmuir was nothing more than gibbering Idiot, but later bcr counsel had switched from that line, and con tended this was his condition from 1899. But the evidence of Mr. Taylor, long as sociated in business with the testator, and perhaps the only witness plaintiffs coun- el had not called a perjurer, said when questioned regarding affairs at tho time of Dunsmuir'B marriage, that he had topped drinking and business affairs of great magnitude entrusted to him would be in competent hands. Davis reviewed tho evidence of Cap tain Freeman, long a friend of Alexander Dunsmuir. who told of many conversa tions In which Alexander Dunsmuir said he would never leave money to Mrs. Hop per. All the evidence about contesting the will came from Mrs. Hopper and her maid. Mamie Howe. Counsel contrasted defendant's witness. Mrs. Agnew, he said. told of conversations in which Mrs. Ag new told her of Mrs. Dunsmulr's state ment, that she was to get an allowance of $10,000 a month, which was acceptable. INDICTED ONES GIVE IN. Keepers of Sunday Saloons Now Willing to Pay Their Fines. BAKER CITY. Or.. April 6. (Special.) when the court convened yesterday, six jurors -were added to the panel to try the Woods saloon case. It was finally decided to issue a special venire, returnable at 1:30 P. M., and Harley Olmstcad. the court bailiff, was made the elisor. Of the special venire, several were execuscd when the defense withdrew the plea of not guilty ad changed it to guilty, and paid a fine of 515. The attorney for the defense. John It. Rand, at this juncture announced that It was .possible that all the cases In which ne appeared -might be settled if the court would declare a recess until 9 o'clock to morrow morning. No one objecting, the court so ordered. "Without doubt, the defendants in most of the cases where indictments have been found have concluded to plead guilty and pay their fines. There are a few cases in which the state does not consider itself very strong. It Is probable that these will be dismissed. There are others against men. who, though guilty, are not reconciled to sur render. These will be pressed if they con- unue stubborn, although It is eenerally thought all will follow the majority. Most or those who still feel like fighting arc from outside the city. Of all the cases tried, the state has lost two and dismissed one. The defendants have won two cases. The grand jury found 130 indictments of this class altogether. There Is quite a reeling or relier In the community that all this trouble Is about to end, as all business nau begun to suffer.

James Dunsmuir, brother of the deceased, who filed the will at Vic toria. B. C through his attorney, vlr tually declared that there is no longer any of the property In California and therefore a proceedings in this state are useless.

Charles b Wheeler, the attorney for James Duns muir. permitted his client's defense to become known while urging Judge Coffey to grant a continuance.

CAN GIVE ORDER FOR FUGITIVES Governor of Alaska May Call Upon Washington's Executive. OLYMPIA. Wash.. April 6. (Special.) The Supreme Court today decided the important question as to whether the Governor 13 authorized to honor the requisition of the Governor of Alaska for fugitives from justice. The ruling of the court Is that when such requisi tions are properly made they should be honored. The question arose as a result of a Federal Court decision holding- that the Federal statutes providing- for the ex tradition ,of fugitives from Justice ap ply only to states and territories, and that the District of Columbia and the Cherokee Indian Nation are not within the scope of the Federal law. In the case decided today it was contended that the District of Alaska "was also not within the scope of the law. The court holds that this ground might be well taken but for the existence of an other Federal statute relating particu larly to the District of Alaska, in which it is provided that the Governor of the district may demand fugitives from the executive authority of any state or ter ritory. The state today filed its answer to the action brought by the heirs of Ed- mond Sylvester for the recovery of a tract given to the state as a capltol site, upon which the state began the erection of a 91.000,000 capital, never completed. The state will rely for Its title upon a deed given by Edmond Sylvester In 1855, which contains no reversionary clause. The answer alleges that the land in dispute is worth $10,000, and that the old territorial capitol thereon is worth $1000. but that only half rests upon the land in dispute. The state asks to b"e reimbursed In the sum of $25,o5o for Its Improvements, If the claims of the heirs are upheld. MAYOR ROMAINE HELPS CUPID Executive Has List of Bellingham Eligibles Always Ready.
