The in troduction of important resolutions, a discussion of ways and means to in crease the membership and laudatory addresses on the growth of the organi ' zation and work accomplished for the betterment of the soldier and sailor by means of legislation, occupied most of the bujiness session today of the six teenth National encampment of the Army and Navy I'nion. Captain John C. I'aly, department rnmnvtnber ot the District of Columbia, denied reports published today that he made an effort yesterday to introduce a resolution designed to segregate the negro members of the Union. "In my report." said Captain Daly, "I was referring to the situation in the Distrl.t of Columbia, where we have two white garrisons and one negro garrison. The latter body has refused to recognize me as a department com mander, and what I said was that the negro garrison apparently wanted to cut off relations. "It also is untrue that I was de clared out of order, and It is only fair to National Communder Downs to say Ihst he was misquoted, and he did not order me to sit down."

PILLOW SLIP IS CLEW POLICE WORK OX M YSTEIUOVS MUK I) Ell OF GIRL. in Eccentric Letter Writer Wonted Case Disappears as Strangely as He Was Found. NEW YORK, Sept. 9. Inquiry into the murder mystery uncovered by the finding late last week of parts of the dismembered body of an unidentified girl along the New Jersey shore of the Hudson River centered today In the upper West Side of this city, where the pillow slip wrapped about one part of the body was bought. From a druggist near the furniture establishment where the pillow slip was bought it was learned that a man in his shirt sleeves and apparently greatly excited bad bought two sheets of tar paper similar to that v.lth which parts of the torso were covered.

CREW TO GEJITS OPIUM I)rus Seized From British Vessel KeCnrned by Official Order. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 9. Orders were received today from Washington directing officials of the customs serv ice to return at once to the British steamer Harlow a quantity of opium that was seized when the vessel was here August 19.

The opium was designated in the ves sel's manifest as "opium for use of the Chinese crew," and it is said the port officials here exceeded their authority when they seized it from a British ves sel. As the members of the Chinese crew were promised by owners of the Harlow that they would be permitted to consume opium while on the voyage, fear was expressed by officials of the customs service that the Chinese would mutiny, in which event the oftcials who seized the opium wiTuld be held re sponsible.
