MYSTERY IN DEATH OF
 A JERSEY CITY GIRL.
Body Was Found in Newark Hotel Room-Several of Hotel Employes Under Arrest-Young Man Who Was With Her Has Disappeared -Bluish Marks About the Girls Throat May Indicate Murder.

New York, March 1.-The body of the girl found in Newark hotel last night with evidence that she had been stfangled was to-day identified as that of Miss Mamie Dennis. She was a working girl who lived with her rela tives at 139 Hopkins avenue, Jersey City. but had not been seen by them since Wednesday morning when she left home ostensibly to go to work.
 Two young men who were employed in the hotel have been arrested and held as witnesses.
 The man who hired the room in which the body was found and shared it with her was still missing today.
 Miss Dennis was 22 years old. Her identity was discovered Try detec- tive who submitted her shoes and de scrbed the body of the girl to the shoe dealer who had sold the shoes to her. The shoe dealer at once identified her and the identification was confirmed by the Dennis family. who were made certain of it by the girls brooch bear ing the initials ''M. D."
 Every effort has failed to establish tie identity of the man who accom- panied her to the hotel. or even to re- veal to certainty the cause of her death. \ faint blue black mark on her throat, which might have been caused by the pressure of murderous fingers, however. together with other circum. stances which point to foul crime, have caused the Newark officials to put forth every effort to solve the mystery.
 While it will not be known positively until after an autopsy has been per formed whether the young woman was murdered. in view of all the circum- stances the police are taking 40 chances.
 The man for whom the police are searching Is described as about five feet eleven inches tall. with dark hair and smooth face He wore a long gray coat and appeared to be about 9 years old.
 The hotel employees are certain that they easily could identify the man if found. He was seen several times. first when he came to the hotel with the woman and registered as D. Ed wards and wife. again when he went out to drug store. and third time " iVh "uS SVSil JuSt OutSNlC Ills room early yesterday morning. That he left the house soon after he was seen the last time seems certain. as the woman had been dead many hours when her body was found lying on thC bed last evening.
 An examination of the hotel register which was made by the police to-day l showed that the man for whom they l are searching in connection with fht l young woman's death had visited tn, hotel several times within the pas | few weeks. In each instance the mar was accompanied by woman ant registered as ID. Edwards and wife Trenton" All the entries were in tht same handwriting. When this discov cry was made the police at once ar rested Theodore and Albert Young brothers of Mrs Sarah Young, the pro prietress of the hotel. They are held as witnesses.
 A further examination to-day of the room in which the body was found re suited in the discovery of a drinking glass with white sediment at the bottom. The sediment will he sub iected to chemical analysis. The DO lice believe that the girls slayer gave her drug. to induce sound sleep. that he might not encounter resistance.
