the body, dynamite had been exploded
and hundreds Of men and boys in boats
mad proded with poles in the mud of
the bottom in the hope Of locating the
body, but no trace of what was sought

This afternoon MIR. Goodell, the young

down by weeds or lily roots. Thus en-
gagged their attention was suddenly at
tracted by a shout from the shore, and
locking back over the course Of their
boat they saw the body of the drowned
girl about 100 feet along.
The body was in an upright position
with the right arm extended holding the
handkerchief and moving up and down
in the water. At times the entire upper
half of the body to the waist line was
visible and again only the head showed
above the surface.
Physicians who examined the body lat
er said the position in which it rose to
the surface was undoubtedly due 10 the
action of the gas within it.
Mr.. Goodell said tonight:

PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Favored by All ProIetariat Organiza-
tions Except the Telegraphers.

St. Petersburg, July 26.-The govern
ment is usuing every means at it's dis
posal to create the impression both at
home and abroad that the crisis has
been successfully passed and that the
probability of a general upheaval has
sappeared. Moreover the official re-
ports seek TO create the impression
that there has been little response
among the masses to the plan for
general strike as n preliminary to
universal uprising.
The application of the old methods,
the government confidently asserts. has
already landed the most dangerous of
the leaders behind the bars and much
stress is laid on the choice Of the cap
ture Of number Of Revolutionary
ringleaderS at Moscow which il turns
out was the result of information OBJ
tanned at the time of the capture of
the officers of the Misla here. Among
the papers then seized the government
says We're the complete plans of a
Revolutionary military organization
which enabled the authorities to close
the revolutionary channels into the
army.
The financial situation has evidently
caused quite as much alarm among the
fiinanciers who underworld the loan
abroad as it has at the treasury here
Finance Minister Kokovsoff has been
bombarded by kilograms from French,
English and German bankers, urging
on him the necessity of supporting the
market. This accounts for the activity
of the government bankers in bidding
up prices on the Bourse here and at
Moscow yesterday as well as for the
Rosy view of the future sent abroad
by the Official Telegraph Agency last
night, under NJ. Kokovsoff's inspiration.
AS a matter of fact the government
can hardly be blind to the evidence
under it's nose that it is living over
a volcano.
For the last 4S hours the central
committees of the Social, Democrats,
Social Revolutionists, Peasants League,

been comforting with the Parliamentary

ing general strike but actually on
the question of attempting q counter

Blechertwn, Mass, July 26.-The
body of Miss WinZola NJ. Boodell, who
disappeared from her home July 6. and
for whom search has since been con-
tinuously. was found today by the
young woman's father in the pond,
which had been dragged so many times
fruitlessly. A superficial examination of
the body indicated that the girl was ac-
cidcntally drowned. but it will remain
for the autopsy, which may be held to-
morrow. to fully settle the question
which has for weeks agitated the COM
munity as to whether the young woman
was the victim of an accident or of foul
play.
Tonight the girls father. Wesley NJ

girls right hand.
Shortly after the report of the disap-
pearance of Miss Goodell was first
given out. a railroad brakeman, Will
liam Bailey said that on the afternoon
of July 6, the day of the girls departure
from her home TO go rowing on the
pond. his train passed the pond about
4.40. and he saw q girl standing in a
boat waving a handkerchief at the
train. This circumstance with the find
ing of the handkerchief in the dead
girls hand is considered as clearly
pointing to accidental drowning. 1t is
supposed that the girl fell over the
side of the boat while standing, and
