night near the Hotel Jackson in Glen-

which nay lead to the identity of the
girl's assailant is the soiled handker-
chief which was found near the scene
of the crime. «
Miss Schpabeln was employed at
tte Hotel Jacksen, in Glenshaw, and
went home during the night. 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

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

ANCIENT MEN HAD HORNS
Diggers After Rétios In Susquehanna
Valley Find Prehistoric Skeletons,
Archaeologists traversing the Sus-
quehanna; river valley, visiting sites |:
“of Indian villages and digging up abo-
rigines and other relics, are said to
have made a most astounding discov-
ery on the Murray farm, near Athens,
in finding the bones of 68 prehistoric
men.
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.”

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 .
