FIND YOUNG GIRLS BODY
Was Drowned in Sound with Young
Man Companion.

NoRTHPORT, L. l., Sept. 27.-The
body of a girl which was found floating
off Eaton's Neck yesterday by fisher
men has been identified by Thomas B.
Penton. of New Rochelle, as that of his
1~6-year-old daughter Beatrice, who was
last seen on Saturday. when she went
for a sail with Guido De Angels in his
small knockabout Microbe.
The body was covered with bruises,
which, the police believe, were caused
by coming in contact with sound steam
boats. Mr.. Penton said that it's condi-
ton led him to believe that his daugh-
ter had made a hard fight to save her
life when the gale which swept across
the sound on Saturday hit the Microbe
as it was heading for the Long Island
shore, where the young pair had
planned to go bathing.
Eaton's Point Lighthouse, near which
the body was found. is directly opposite
Stamford, Conn, and eighteen miles
from New Rochelle.
No trace of young De Angels has
been found.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 27.-wiIllam d.
Edwards and William I'll. Corbin, who
acted as counse for the railroads when
the appeal from the 1906 assessments
in Jersey City was taken, appeared
before the county board today and re-
quested that as the State Board for
the Equalization of Taxes had rem
dered a decision on the assessment of
1906 the county board should adopt and
follow the figures on the assessment
Of 1907 concerning the property of the
railroads.
The board decided hat each assess
ment should stand by itself and the
assessment of 1905 has nothing to do
with that of 1907. They told the attor-
neys that the representatives of the
railroad might take the matter up on
appeal again, but that the county board
would not be responsible for the action
of any board outside of its own.
The attorneys last Monday sent a writ
ten request for the minutes to Supervisor
Otto Wittpenn and Clerk O'Mara, of the
Board of Freeholders. Supervisor Witt
penn made no answer and the clerk re-
piled that he would submit the matter to
the county counsel. Then the attorneys
wrote TO John Griffin, county counsel, but
so far he has not deigned to reply.

TINY ROBBERS
WOMAN SEES 'EM AT WORK.
TELLS POLICEMAN.
One Says His Ambitious Brother Was
for Carrying OF Everything
in the House.

1t was a case of brother against
brother in the Fourth Precinct Police
Court today when Edward Sobiage. 7
years old, of 20 Sewage street, adj
mitted that he was implicated in an at
tempt to rob the residence of Frederick
Ruder, of 1871 Wainwright street, yes
terday afternoon, with his brother
John, 8 years old. and Otto Ballman,
10 years old. of 2S1 Fabyan place.
The latter was on picket duty while
the Sobiage boys, armed with a screw
driver and file, broke a pane of glass
and were about to crawl into the cellar
when discovered by Mrs. Ruder. She
attracted the attention of Mounted Po-
liceman Hook, of the Fourth Precinct
station, who managed to catch the
youngest member of the party. The
other two vanished before Hook APP
peared.
Hook communicated with Captain
Vogel and he told Hook to have the
boys in our today with their parents.
Mrs. Sobiage, who cannot speak Eng
lish, accompanied her boys, and Ball
man was on hand with his father. 1t
developed that Ballman acted as a
picket while the others went to work.
The elder Sobiage took it all as a joke.
1T is nothing to laugh at" said
Judge Herr, and if you're not careful
I'll send you to the reform school,
where you will get bread and water
twice a day and a board to sleep on
at night"
The captain told the cheerful Swear
old defendant that he would lock him
in a cell, and when a feint was made
to do so tears trickled down the boys
cheeks.
The youngest member of the party
pointed at his brother, n in answer
to a question by the court said: HE
was going to take everything in the
house."
The judge turned toward the other
Sobiage boy and asked if his brothers
statement was true, and the answer
was, yes, it was"
Ordinarily the testimony and evil
dence would warrant committing the
defendants to await the action Of the
Grand Jury, but owing to their ages
Judge Herr sent them home after
warning them against repeating any
attempt to break into n house in the
future and advising their parents to
keep a close watch on them.
