Bodies Found h Front Of M.
 RocketeIIer's Estate.

New York. Nov 28.-ln every town along the Hudson river between here and Albany police search Is being made for the perpetrators of das- tardly automobile crime. |. Directly in front of the gates of VII liam Rockefellers country home, be- tween Tarrytown and Ossining. one of a series of machines that raced through the lonely country road struck and killed two men.
 Then it passed on. tits occupants making no report to police or doctors at any of the nearby towns. The crushed bodies. lying amid fragments of broken glass from the lamps of the machine, were left to tell their own tragic story when they were discov- cred.
 The victims were William A. Purdy and William Kramer, teamster. Both lived near Ossining and were walking home from Tarrytown when the car struck them.
 The driver of the machine was hard hearted enough to race away with the absolute knowledge that his victims were dead. He stopped just long enough to find out their condition. Kramer was found lying face up. Pur- dy face down.
 At least one of the bodies was run over later by another automobile. The driver of this reported to the police of Ossining that there was some obstruc- tion in the road. He thought 1t was the body of dog.

 Disappearance Solved.

New York. Nov. 23.-The mystery of the disappearance of Mrs. Julius Fleischman. wife of the millionaire merchant, is cleared up at last by the finding of her body in the East river, near Wards island.
 Mrs. Fleischman's body was found by Captain William Burriss of the charities department steamer Wan derer. The corpse was apparently up- right in the water. The head was cov- cred with a long automobile veil and bent downward.
 Mrs Fleischman disappeared from her home, IS West Eighty-sixth street, on Nov. 5. She had been in good spir- its, and at 4:30 o'clock on that after noon her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gus. tive Fleischman, left her in her apart ments.
 From the moment the younger Mrs. Fleischman left her no member of the family ever saw her alive. Following her disappearance one of the most thorough searches ever instituted for missing person was begun. The Fleischman family is wealthy, and money was not spared to locate the missing wife and mother. More than a hundred persons were engaged in a systematic search. Dozens of men dragged the North and East rivers, hundreds of pounds of dynamite were exploded in the hopes of bringing the body to the surface of the water, scores of police searched through parks, the hospitals and morgues were systematically visited. and Central park lake and reservoir were dragged.

Last night Bernie Wefers asked that

Club, in which over 1000 athletes will
participate, the Virginia flyer to run
against such men as Smithson. Seitz
and dozen others of the fastest
sprinters in the country Coach Lanni-
gan declined the invitation, owing to
the extreme long season of training
and the fact that for the past three
weeks Rector has been training al
most entirely for the relay team, and
1t is questionable whether he would be
able to do himself fun justice in the
short dashes without at least some
special preparation. Rector himself
was anxious to compete. but finally ac-
ceded to the wishes of his trainer. On
the other hand. his Virginia admirers
are disappointed, for they believe
Rector is invincible, and stand ready
to back him to the limit against any
man in the country. So this great
Splinter will not be seen in-the Nortl,
