Thurs- éay night she left home about 10:30 o'clock, saying she was going for a walk, When she did not raturn to her home it was supposed she had decided to stay at the hotel during the night. Michael Martin, who was sitting on tue porch of the Hotel Jackson Thurs- ' day. pight, heard a scream, but as it was not repeated he paid no attention. Friday evening oésph ~~ Schnabeln, ® brother, called at the hotel and Jackson asked him why his sister did did not report for work Friday morn- ‘ng. Schnabeln said she.left for the Lotel Thursday night. An alarm was spread and a search begun by the girl's father, her brother and Jackson. After a search ‘the three came upon the body partly cen cenled in the ‘olimp of bushes. The face of the “girl was scarred and , MAFKS were plainly discernible on her throat. Wounds also were discovered on her head anc body: Deputy Coromer John Black was notified: and when he viewed the body, which had been, taken. to. the hotel, nearby, he declared that the girl had been murdered and notified the county detectives. An ‘automobile load of de- tectives were rushed’to the scene and immediately began searching in the bughes and undergrowth for clues. The girl evidently fought valiantly to elude her assailant, as, the bushes for several feet . id diameter wea trampled and broken down.

The average hejght of these men when their skeletons were assembled was seven feet, while many were much taller. Addjtional evidence of their gigantic size is found in the massive stone battle axes in thelr graves. The average age of these men is said to have been from thirty to forty. Another amazing point of this dis- covery is the allegatien that “per- fectly formed skulls were found from which horns grew straight out from the head.” STRIKING WINERS IN RIOT Tet Deputies Fight I.

CUMMINGS. WILSON CONFERS WITH RAIL MEN Arbitration Rejected. After Me- diation Fails Representatives of both sides of the controversy between the railroad com- panies of the United States and their employes are in Washingon for a con- ference’ with’ President Wilson in a final effort to avert a strike which would tie up the freight traffic of the country. Proposals to arbitrate their differ ences with the railroads have been definitely rejected by leaders of the four brotherhcods ot employes, who, have been authorized to call a general strike. A personal message from President Wilson was taken to New York by Secretary" “Tulmulty. ‘It’ the president should fail to per- sudde" the’ ‘two parties to submit their differences to arbitration it is’ likely that (he will go beiorc congress aad recommend, the ‘passage of emergency legislation. What character this possi: sble legislation would take could not be ledpuedl’ il 1s learned, however, ‘that both” the ‘department of justite and the postéfice department, in” addition to congress, would take definite ac- tion. The government, it was said au- thoritatively, will not tolerats serious dislocation ‘of the mails’ transporation service. There are two laws under which the government might bring action to compel the oper- ation of mafl''trains. It ‘would be nec- essary for every railway in the’ coun- try which transports mails té operate from one to 50 traing, daily for the oar- riage of mails. The first statute under which the administration might institute pro- ceedings is ‘that’ prohibiting ‘interfer ence with the mails. A strike, ag ‘well as any other act which obstructs tke transportation of the mails, would be comprehended in this law, it was sald. The second law’ is the conspiracy section’ of the federal statutes. The pendlties ‘under this’ section ‘aré’ two years’ imprisonment or a fine of $10, 000, or both, in the discretion of the court. There would be a serious. situation; government officials say, it road employes should try to interfe ith the mails. The reads, being under contract to transport mails, will be held strictly to the ‘execution of their obligations by the government and it is expected that they will throw the burden of re- sponsibility for any failure to operate them upon their employes. A ‘charge of that cli&racter would be referred to the department of justice and if evi- dence gathered should warrant crim- inal proceedings would. be instituted against .
