NEW YORK. Sept 20.-An au op.,
performed on the body of Mrs. J seph
Pulitzer, who was roysterkusly rrur
dered In a Fifty-eighth stivet flat and
whose. body was found In the Morrison
canal, showed that her death was caus
ed primarily by a knife wound In the
abdomen and not by chloral Several
blows were struck on her head, but the
skull wa not fractured and there wer;
no sIkm of cerebral hemorrhage.
A police dragnet has been thrown out
for William Hooper Toung, who is sus
pected of the killing.
Among th books found In Yo-jng's
room In the! Fifty-eighth sir. ft flat,
was the cover of a sir all memoiandum
on the .front f which was stamiel in
glided letter "Practical Referere
On the Inside were a number of notes
headed "Blood Atonement," and follow
ed by Biblical refences, Including an
excerpt from the Book of Corinthians
reading:
"To deliver such an one unto Satan

the Lord Jesus."
It now develops that wh n Young's
father sailed for France on July 1, two
of the son went back to Utah. Hopper

but roomed In the vicinity. R cen ly
he called upon the superintendent if
the building and demanded the k ys,
which were given him.
The apartment originally consisted ot
three suites. These were thrown into
one for the use of the family, but up
on their going abroad one of them was
cut off and was turned over, rent free.
to four missionaries, who are pros. Irt
ing In New York.
These have b-en living th-ie iver
since rnd were asler-p when the sup
posed murder was committed. . 1hlr
names are Clarence Snow, Lawrenc
Taylor, J. L. Wood and John R. Port
er. Mr. Snow said'
"When the e'der Mr. Young went to
Europe he It ft four of us here eat

entirely shut off from us and we saw

and we certainly heard no disturbance
in Ms part of the bouse,"
Detectives have traced Young to
Brooklyn, where he went on Thurs
day morning to bid a filend gcod bye.
To this friend he'suid he was g Ing
to the Pocky Mountain.
A trunk shipped to Chicago by Young
through the Wcls-Fargo Expr ss was
consigned to "C, 3. Elleny." The po
uce uo not believe it contained any
thing other than clothing b longing
possibly to Mrs. Pulitser, as very little
of the murdered woman's apparel has
been found.
Richard E. Anser, who was a close
personal friend of Young, and at one
time his partner In the publication of
the Hoboken Crusader, has, acco d'rg
to the World, Issued a statement say
ing that Young called at his hou e in
Hoboken last Thursday about 7 o'clock.
Young, -he said, was driving a hor.e
nd buggy, which he stated had b;en
rented by the liveryman who has
since figured In the identification of the
weight found attached to Mr?. Fullti-
er body.
Anser says he met Young at Butte,
Mont, In 190t. Young wo then trav
eling for a drug house. They b came
friends and Young, later In the' year,
joined him In the publication of the
paper In Hoboken. They dissolved

Commanding; General of the
Army On His Way to the
Philippines.

in Axtoria 22
Year Ago In Charge of
Departmei t of Columbia.
When the Bailey Gatzert made fast
to the wharf last evening quite a num
ber, of spectator went down to the
wharf to see General Miles step
ashore. Major Humphreys, ' the com
mandant at Fort Stevens, with L!e
tenants Brewster anl Porter, as aide-de-campsfl
received the commanding
general. They were accompmlel by
numerous civilians. General Mile him
self was expert enough 'to evade the
crowd and got off to the Occ'dent ho-
' tel at the earliest possible moment. A
reporter from the Astorian . who had
known' General Miles previously, was
the only one permitted to have an In
teresting chat" with the general. : The
plans "arranged for his troverrierits.are
very simple, but exacting aa regard
to time. After Inspecting the for ll-
catibn"at Fort Steven a return will
be made to Astoria where "General
Miles has his private car" waiting" "to
take him to Portland, from which
place he leave for a hurried tour cf

There was one question the general was
determined not to answer, even In a
private and confidential wav. Ti:a:

General Jake Smith.
Naturally the general had nothing
to say as to his visit to the Philippines
except that he would complete his
Western tour in time to leave for the
Orient by a transport that leaves on
the SOth.
General Mile appears to have ag d
a little during the past two ears, al
though he claims to be vigorous and
healthy.
The party will leave this morning at
o'clock for Fort Stevens.
