ANOTHER GIRL SLAIN
Death of Sophia Heckler is
Added to Long List.
NEW YORK POLICE HELPLESS
Unable to Get Any CIew TO Strange
Case where Robbery and Fire In
Home Were Followed by Finding
of Girls Body In Basement-KiIled
and Then Thrown Into Cellar.

New York. Aug. A-The case Of Sophia
Heckler, the little servant girl whose
body was found in the cellar Of Harry
Mack's house. at 2Js East sixty-second
street. at Il O'Clock Saturday night,
seven hours after the apartments above
her had been robbed and set on fire, is a
combination mystery against which the
police made little headway to-day. Five
detectives worked at It all day.
IN the afternoon, Inspector McCaiTerty
spent two hours in the house, and all he
could say when he emerged was:
we haven't a clew. There was a rob
berry. fire. and apparently murder, but
how it all happened. you know as much
about it as T.
Coroner's Physician Lehane made an
autopsy on the body of the Heckler girl
in the morgue yesterday. He found that
both jaws, both cheekbones, the skull,
the neck. and rib had been broken. and
that the girl had died Of cerebral hemor-
rhage. DR.. Lehane did not see how a
woman could be battered in this fashion
from a fall down ten-step flight Of
stairs.
Coroner Shrady agreed with him that
Sophia Heckler must have been beaten
and perhaps killed before she was thrown
into the cellar.

faint and despairing cries for help from

In their last struggles to keep aioat
was a man and two women, far out be-
yond their depths. The elder of the two
women had become unconscious. and the
other. while retaining her mental facul-
ties, was perfectly helpless. The man,
although he wore a life-preserver, was
tagged out. They were still rapidly drift
ing into deeper water.
Taking hold of the younger Of the two
women, young Ghiselln struck out for
the shore. It was a hard pull. but he
got there with the woman whom ne had
rescued. He was going out again, but
relieved of a part of his burden. the man
held on TO the other woman and was
making a little headway toward shore
with her when met by other assistance.

CHINESE LEADER ARRESTED.
Mock Duck Taken on Suspicion Oi
Knowing About Shooting.

Boston. Mass. Aus. 4-Mock Duck. ono
of the New York leaders of the notorious
Hip Sing Tong Society. was arrested by
special officers of the Boston police last
night, on suspicion that he was con-
cerned in the murderOus deeds which
members of his society committed in
Chinatown Friday night
Another arrest. making the total Of
Cinnamon now in custody seven, was that
Of Wong Now, who runs a laundry on
Shawmut avenue. All will be arraigned
August 1S on a charge of murder. The
police believe that the murders Of Fri
day night were a sequel to the shooting
and hatchet affrays in New York and
Philadelphia few weeks ago.
1t is generally believed that in the
Philadelphia battle the Highbinders were
from Boston. and the same suspicion ex-
ists with regard to the night after There
fore the police take it that the High
binders Of those cities were returning the
call. This theory is supported by the
fact that of the Cinnamon arrested in
connection with the shooting Friday
night, only one of them has been identi-
fed as having lived in Boston.

Thirteen Of them escaped by crawling

FRENCH DIVORCES INCREASE.
Cruelty Chief Cause for Desire to
Dissolve Bonds.

Paris, Aug. 4-Since the revival of
legal divorces in France in 1884. there has
been such an increase in the number of
those who have severed their marriage
bonds that publicists are wondering
where it viii stop. In 1884 there were
1873 divorces; twenty years later the
number was 14692; last year there were
1924.
In the statistics just issued by the min
istry Of justice, it is. however. noteworthy
that by far the greatest proportion of
divorces has been granted on the score
OF cruelty and the like.
Thus those divorces amounted in 1884
10 1477, and in 1904 to 1887. In the lat
Ter year the divorces granted on the ap-
plication Of husbands for breach OF what
IS called the Seventh Commandment were
1904 those on the petition of wives being
1,507. In 1884 they had been 245 and 81.
respectively. Then. whereas I'm 1881 di-
