FOUL MURDER
OF LITTLE GIRL
is REVEALED.

NEW YORK, June 27:--5y the
discovery of the lacerated ann bruised
body of eignt-year-old Viola Baylan
in a coal bin in the cellar of her
home, No. 1890 Second avenue, early
today. the police of the East 42Gth
street station have new murder
mystery on their hands. An examina-
tion of the body showed that the child
had been attacked before the murder
was committed.
The little girl disappeared from her
home on Monday last. A general
alarm was sent out for her but no
trace of her could be found. 1t is
now believed the child was kept a
prisoner by her murderer until last
night when the body was placed in
the coal bin Marks ON the body tend
to show that the girl had been sub
jected to excessively brutal treatment.
The body was found by Frederick
Scroppel, sixty years old, who lives
in the house. He went to the bin
shortly after daylight and found the
body lying on a pile of coal face up
ward. There was a deep cash across
the left eye and the child's legs were
cut and bruised. There were also
marks around the throat as If made
by mans fingers.

MERGER
FORMED.
GuggenheimS Interested in a
$50,00O,000 Concern Con-
troll Nevada Mines.
.SIO,OOO,OOO SMEL TER

NEW YORK, June 27:-Although
no official confirmation was obtain
able yesterday from the Guggenheim
interests, who control several of the
largest of the copper producers in the
Ely district of Nevada, the rumor was
generally credited in Wall street that
the incorporation of $50,000, 900
New Jersey company was for the pur-
pose of bringing about closer mer-
ger of the property controlled by
these and allied interests. The new
concern, which is called the Consoli-
dated Copper Company, is capitalized
at 100000 shares of the par value
of $5
A little over year ago the Gug-
genheim interests became heavily in
terested in, the Nevada Consolidated,
the Cumberland-Ely and the Utah
Copper companies. Since then the
properties have been developed on a
large scale and the construction of
a $10,000,000 smelter is well under
way at Steptoe, New, which has been
especially designed to treat the ores
of this district. 1t is jointly owned
by the Nevada Consolidated and the
CumberlandEly companies. The Ne
vada Consolidated is also the owner
of the Nevada Northern Railway Com
pany, which has line running 140
miles from a point near Tona to the
mine The management of these two
companies has been practically uni
fled for year, and when the Guggen-
helm interests took representation in
the directorates of the two companies
a year ago it was said on good au-
thority that no actual merger of the
property would take place until these
and other companies in the district
in which the same interests are large
stockholders had reached a more
complete development.
A representative of the Guggen-
helms said yesterday that he was not
aware that his associates had COM
mittsd themselves definitely as yet
to participation in the consolidation
made possible by the new corporation.
Among the interests known to be be-
hind the company, however, are
James Phillips, Jr., w. B. Thompson
and W. Hinlde Smith, all of whom
are more or less closely associated
with the Guggenheims in this district.
One of the concerns in which these
men are Interested is the Ely Mines
Company and this, with the three
companies first named above, has a
combined capitalization of $500, 900
shares, which are at present selling
in the market at about $4S,000, 900.

PLAN STATE
ST. PAVING.

County Engineer Morgan F. Lar
son has commenced work on the
sketches for the grading and macad-
amizing of a number of county roads
which work was ordered by State Su-
perintendent of Public Roads Robert
A. Meeker on his visit here June IL.
The sketches are for the grading
and macadamizing of State street be-
tween Pulaski avenue and Maurer
the road between Colonia and Avenel
near Railway, and the road between
the Albany street bridge and the
Landing bridge at New Brunswick.
Engineer Larsen says that these
roads are state thoroughfares, and
the state pays one-third of the cost
of the work and the county the re-
mainder. These roads will be regu-
larly inspected by state officials after
the work has been done, and any
necessary repairs to be made will be
ordered by the state.
1t will require a few weeks to
make the necessary maps and details.
The work will be commenced in time
to have the roads ready for the win
fer traffic

DANGER OF
COLLISIONS

Many complaints are being made by
the fremen and police against troll
ley motormen who refuse to stop
their cars when circumstances are
such as to demand their stopping.
The strongest complaint is that
when the fire bell rings and a car is
going east on Smith street the motor
men do not stop their cars or even
reduce their speed. The hook and
ladder truck often dashes across
Smith street directly in front of a
rapidly moving car and that the truck
and car do not come together, causing
possible loss of life, can be attributed
only to good luck. When policeman
is on hand he compels the motorman
to stop the car but the police say that
the motormen should know enough
to stop their cars on such an occa-
sion, without being ordered to do so.
A motorman yesterday afternoon
said that it is impossible for them at
times to hear the fire bell ringing,
the rumbling of the car drowning the
sound of the bell. He says that the

NEWARK, June 27:-Frank H.

wing of the party in Essex county at
a meeting in the New Auditorium, in

storm of cheers the advisory commit

reform men of the party, adopted a
resolution that it was the sense of the
meeting that the sheriff be nominated
for governor, adding that his election
would surely follow.

STATE LEGISLATURE
IS IN A BIG .TANCLE.

TRENTON, June 27:-"Where is
New Jersey legislature .at?" is a ques-
tion that is bothering the political
leaders because of the doubt raised as
to the legality of certain of it's pro-
ceedings since the post-recess session
began June IS. The trouble came
about through the action of the house
in adjourning until July 5, without
the consent of the senate.
The upper house has gone ahead
passing numerous measures without
knowing the status of the lower
branch.
During the regular legislative ses-
sions the weekly adjournments are

taken by both houses, but it is claim
ed that the resolution calling for the
adjournment of the house until July
was passed in violation of the con-
stitutional provision that neither
house, during the session of the leg
islature shall, without the consent of
the other, adjourn for more than
three days"
1t is also pointed out that the ac-
tion of the house is an open dis
courtesy to both the senate and to
Governor Stokes, and is in absolute
disregard of the governors request
that both houses join in passing the
reform measures recommended in his
recent message.
