Mystery of Headless
Man Is Unsolved.

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.

Cclilo Canal Commission, composed of
tho Governor. Secretary of State and
State Treasurer, today signed the deed

The Portage Railway Commission, com
posed of these same officers, held a meet

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

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.

the deceased, who filed the will at Vic

Wheeler, the attorney for James Duns

growth. A communion service conclud
ed the forenoon exercises. At a busi
ness session this afternoon It was de
cided to hold the next conference at
St. Johns.
This afternoon Bishop Hell delivered
an address upon the subject, "Why
.Ministers FalL" He gave as causes for

tions In which they find themselves.
that they are not positive factors
against evil, that they are too cold in

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.

If you boil a piece of
wool fabric for twenty
minutes in causticpotash,
that fabric will melt and
be consumed if it is wool.
If it contains a particle
of cotton, the cotton will
remain intact, and its
presence be detected.
Every fabric which en
ters the Stein-Bloch
Shops is subjected to this
Wool Test. Fifty years
of doing it has proved
that locking arms with
honesty is never in vain.

I wIUinKlv make this liberal offer because
Dr. Shoop's Restorative Is not an ordinary
stomach remedy. It noes not. inaeeu, treat
the stomach Itself. It Roes beyond it
treats the nerves that control and operate
the stomach. The nerves that wear out and
break down and CAUSE stomach trouble.
For stomach trouble Is really only a symp
tom that there is serious nerve trouble In
side. That Is why ordinary remedies fall.
That Is why my remedy succeeds. That Is
why I can afford to make this offer.
Yet do not misunderstand mo when I say
"nerves." I do not mean the nerves you or
dinarily think about. I mean the automatic
stomach nerves over which your mind has
no control. I have cot the space here to ex
plain to you how tho nerves control the
stomach or how. they may be vitalised and
restored. When you write I will send you
a book which will make these points clear.
But this much Is certain aillns nerves
cause all forms of stomach trouble Indi
gestion, belching, heartburn, insomnia, ner
vousness, dyspepsia. No stomach medlclno
will cure these aliments. Only nerve treat
ment will do that. No other remedy than
Dr. Shoop's Restorative even claims to
reach these nerves.
What alls the stomach nerves? Worry,
probably. Mental anguish destroys their
tiny fibers and tears down the telegraph
lines without which the stomach has no
more self control than a sponge. Overwork
will do it. Irregular habl will do it. Over
eating will do It. Dissipation will do It.
But the effect is the same stomach failure.
No matter how these nerves became Im
paired I know a way to rebuild their
strength to restore their vigor. It is- a rem
edy which took thirty years of my life to
perfect a remedy which Is now known In
more than fifty thousand communities In
more than a million homes as Dr. Snoop"
Restorative.
If you have stomach trouble and have
never tried my remedy, merely write and
ask. I will send you an order on your drug
gist which he will accept as gladly as he
would accept a dollar. He will hand you
from his shelves a standard sized bottle of
my prescription, and he will send the bill to
me. This offer Is made only to strangers
to my remedy. Those who have once used
the Restorative do not need this evidence.
There are no conditions no requirements,
It is open and frank and fair. It Is the
