Suicide, murder, accident, are the
three theories figuring In tho myste
rious death of an unknown woman
whose body was found Wednesday
mornlnK by workmen from Phoenix
whllo on their way to Medford about
three-quarters of a mile south of this
city. The woman was small of stat
ure, dark roniplexloncd and about
to years of n;e and was found a short
dlstanco from the mile post south of
Medford In the path at the end or the
ties. There were no signs of a strug
gle, no evidence that she had been
struck by a train and no evidence of
suicide. She was lying on ber left
side facing the track, and from under
Iter bend the blood had flowed until
It formed a pool a short distance
from the body. Sbo evidently had
never moved ntfor having fallen.
Who the woman Is, is a mystery.
She was recognized by Chief of Pd
lice Shearer as having been seen on
the streets hero some ten days ago,
and was also seen Friday evening
about 5:30 and Friday night at 0:30
eating nt one of the lunch wagons.
The woman had been on the streets
Inquiring for "Fred" and had asked
a number of men If thoy had soon
"Fred." She was warned by tho of
ficer not to make herself conspicu
ous upon the streota, as she acted
queorly and it was thought she was
under tho Influence of strong drink.
She was Inst seen about 9:30 Tuesday
night and at that time was eating n
nandwlch and laughing as though all
tho world was bright. Nothing more
was heard of her until about G:30
Wednesday morning, when the body
was found lying by tho railroad track.
There wns no evidence that she had
beon accompanied to the place. Some
of her own footprints wore visible
along the track, but no others. There
was not a particle of evidence thnt
a train had struck her. Tho bodv
had not been tumbled about or drag
ged in any way.
Whether she died by her own hand
or was murdered by parties desiring
to rid themselves of her presence re

WANTS CONGRESS TO HAVE
POWER TO CURB MONOPOLIES
SUPREME MR
I
Long-Fought Legal Battle Is De
cided in Highest Tribunal of State
Has Been Fought Through tho
Courts for Three Years Past.
WASHINGTON, D. C Dee. 7.
ln an effort lo give eomrixs the
power to emit monopolies, Con
gressman John A. Sterling of Illi
nois today introduced a joint reso
lution providing for the submission
of u constitutional uincutlincnt om
pow eiiug congress to suppress
trusts. Tlie u'solution provides
that "congress shall have the power
lo pi event mnl suppress mouopolic
throiiiilioiit the 1'iiitcd States
through legislation."
Steiling, who is the ranking mem
ber of tho house committee of ju
dieiary, wants tho amendment to
give congress power not only to reg
ulate interstate, but iutrnsta.to, com
merce, in certain cases.
"It is necessary," he said, "tlm:
congress control not only the big
corporations operating between the
states mnl in foieigu commerce, Imi
also those operating within tit,
stales. State nuthorilics do no'
proceed harmoniously m controlling

After a legal battlo exteudiii'? over
a period of nearly thrco years, Mrs..
I' ranees M. buyout has apparently
won her suit brought for an ac

suit was brought by Mrs. "Sn viler as
executrix of the estute of victor K.
Snyder, her husband, who was for-
merry a partner of Harringjon.
llio plaintiff alleged that Har
rington had never accounted for
Snyder's interest in the business.
Tho ease wns fought through the
