GIRLS BODY is FOUND
MURDERED AND MUTILATED BY
UNKNOWN PERSON.
Shocking Tragedy Is Revealed In
suburb of Dayton, O.-Rowdy In
school knocks Down Teacher and
Pulls Out Her Hair.

A brutal and mysterious murder was
revealed in the finding of the mutilated
body of Dora Gilman, aged 20, hidden
in a clump of weeds on a common in
New Arlington, Ohio. The sheriff and
coroner are investigating, but so far they
confess that the crime battles them. The
pursuit of the murderer is likely to be
made more difficult because of the fact
that rains have fallen since the deed was
committed. The girl was employed at the
works of the Dayton Cash Register Com
pany and was last seen at the close of
work Tuesday. The coroner holds that
she was attacked under cover of dark
hess while OH her way home. Marks
rible struggle. The face and neck were
torn and marked with the imprints Of
her assailant's finger nails. The body
was mutilated in a shocking manner, Civ
ing evidence that death came after the
girl had made every effort to fight off
her assailant. The girl had lover.
Stanley Anderson, who lives in Sharon
vile. near Cincinnati. The parents call
ed him up by telephone Tuesday evening
and he responded. He said he did not
know where the girl was. Chief Whit
taker believes the girl was murdered a
mile away from where the body was
found and then carried to the clump of
weeds. which were carefully placed around
the body. Her clothing was wet from
the rains. An umbrella was found near
her partially covered with dirt. Miss
Gilman was actively engaged IN welfare
work at the National Cash Register fac
tory and was not known to have an
enemy.

Considerable discussion has been arous-
ed by signed prophecy of Thomas A.
Edison, detailing what our large cities
will be like 100 years hence. He says
they viii be free from smoke and steam.
and that the chimney will be thing of
the past, while the waste OF coal and 9TH
err fuel will be stopped through the use
of electricity, generated direcs from the
fuel without the aid of engine, bcs!er or
dynamo. In factories each machine will
have its individual motor. Houses will
be heated electrically. and most of the
cities noises will cease. Skyscrapers will
be universal in the business section, and
the streets will be bridged over at diff
ferent heights to facilitate transit from
one side to the other. He estimates that
buildings will then average thirty stories
in height, and the greater number will
be constructed of concrete and steel. Such
buildings, he says, will stand thousand
years or longer. His new battery will
make electricity portable for street We
hicles or airships.
