ANOTHER new YORK MURDER
CHILD THIS TIME VICTIM OF THE
STRANGLER-
Public Excitement at Fever Heat
Commissioner Bingham Says He
L. PowerlesA

NEW YORK. August 1.-The excitement
caused In this city by tho recent atrocious
crimes against women and children was
greatly increased today by the discovery OF
the body of an eight-year-old girl in the
cellar OF an East Side tenement. The child
had been assaulted and then murdered
There were marks on the throat indicating
that perhaps the little ono was strangIed
The suspicion that the child was choked
to death. taken In connection with the muir
der OF Sophie Kohrer and Of an unidentified
woman BY strangulation. leads the police
to believe that there il a maniac at large
In the city who Is possessed OF an insane
impulse to kill women and children by the
same method.
The body Of tho child found today was
identified as that OF Katie Dritschler, the
daughter Of q German waiter She had
been missing from her home in East 18th
street since one week ago today. The body
was found in the cellar OF the tenement
house at 208 1st avenue, only q block dis
tant from the child's home 1t was lying on
strawberry crate. where 1t apparently
had been placed several days ago. and its
condition revealed the frightful treatment
10 which the child had been subjected.
Wants More Policemen.
An examination OF the body showed that
the Dritschler child was killed in exactly
the same manner as Sophie Kohrer was
murdered. Deeply inbedded in the flesh OF
her neck was found hair ribbon taken
from her own hair bound tightly and
knotted.
The finding of the Dritschler chtlds body
today. following the similar cases during
the past few weeks, called attention forcibly
to warning issued yesterday by Police
Commissioner Bingham.
The commissioner has repeatedly declared
that with the 5000 or 1900 men at present
under his command he Is practically power
less to do more than already has been done
TO guarantee the security Of life and prop
erty In the city. He has appealed both to
the legislature and the city government for
2.OU additional patrolmen and has express
ed the belief that little Improvement in the
present situation can be obtained until his
request for more men is granted In view
or this condition. the commissioner issued
q formal warning to parents yesterday to
guard their children closely-to keep them
at home and watch over them constantly to
prevent them falling into the clutches OF
the monsters who would do them harm.
By order OF Coroner Hamburger Gaetano
Rippolone. a cobbler. who has a shop in
the building where the murdered girl lived
was taken to police headquarters to be
questioned concerning the case. He was
asked to explain his absence from home
last Friday one day after Katie Drftschler
disappeared. and in reply said he had gone
to Bristol. Conn.,. to close bargain for a
cobbler's shop there. He showed letters
from Italians In that city to support his
statement.

NEW YORK. august 1.-Inasmuch as no
one Is able to forecast the extent Of the re-
cession In business which Is acknowledged
to be under way. It II assumed that all
conservative stock market operators will
proceed with extreme caution with respect
to new commitments. and that daring spec
ulators will operate rather extensively on
the short side Those who are In close
touch with the situation throughout the
country believe that over-extensions exist
in many lines Of business. notably real es-
tate. It 10 believed that conditions that
have obtained in tho real estate fields
throughout the country for two years or
more are more unstable than those OBJ
tanning in most other lines Of business ac-
tivity. 1t 10 thought that moro contractors
on a large scale. who have been unable to
obtain the necessary ready money to swing
the operations which they have under way.
will be compelled to give up. Good judges
believe. furthermore. that q general hQuida-
ton in real estate must come about When
this shall have taken place 1t Is generally
agreed that one Of the most unfavorable
features in the whole situation will have
been removed
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-08-01

In direct contrast to the foregoing. con-
servative observers point out that 1t must
not be forgotten for a moment that a mod
crate falling Off in business will be bene-
hcial to the railroads and of great impor-
lance in Wall street, where so little money
has been available for investment purposes
for long time. Representatives of impor-
tant nondhouses have maintained through
out the long period Of stagnation that has
existed in their business that the turn for
the better in investment buying would come
suddenly. and that the surplus supply of
bonds and other investment securities winch
have been practically unstable for two
years or more would be quickly absorbed.

Except for the fact that business depres-
sions generally go further than underlying
conditions warrant. many close students OF
the situation say that there Is no reason to
expect serious depression. Because OF this
tendency. however, and the tremendous de-
mand for money everywhere. they express
the opinion that due preparation should DO
made for a material falling OF in business
throughout the country and a further liqui-
dalton IN the securities. It is known that
some accounts that suffered severely during
the March slump are still being carried
with the hope of a general advance in the
market that would make possible their
liquidation on considerably more favorable
terms than have been obta!nable for some
months. In view of the uncertainty as to
the extent Of the recession In business. 1t Is
assumed that the market whole will
not have very substantial support. and con-
Sequentiy that 1t will be possible for the
bear party to operate successfully. In that
event 1t is taken as a fact that there will be
more or less forced selling Of long stocks
which would only help on the downward
tendency of prices.
