MURDER VICTIM STILL UNKNOWN
ldentlficatlons of Dead Woman Have
Completely Collapsed.

New York, Jan. 2.-The mystery en-
veloping the murder of the woman in
red" is seemingly as impenetrable
today as when the nude body was first
discovered, on Christmas day, partial
ly concealed in the water and slime
of a lonely pond near Harrison, NJ
]. Thus far the detectives have failed
to find a single reliable clew to the
identity Of the woman or her slayer.
The identitications of the dead woman
by Mrs. Hattie Hull and Detective
Drabell OF Orange. N. j., have COM
pletely collapsed and left the case
more puzzling than ever. Word was
received from Philadelphia that Ag-
mes O'Keefe, whom Detective Drabell
believed the murdered woman to be,
had been found In that city.
With the hope Of finding new clew
in the way OF clothing or effects, the
pond In which the body was found is
TO be drained. The famous Belgian
police hounds, which Police Commits
sioner Bingham imported recently for
trailing malefactors on the outskirts
OF the city, will be used in the at
tempt to track the murderer.

BOOTHS ANTI-SUICIDE BUREAU
Says rs Per Cent of Applicants Were
Diverted from Ending Life.

London, Jan, 2.-Twelve months
ago General Bnt'h of the Salvation
Army started anti.suicide bureaus in
various cities of the world, and he
now has issued review of the years
work. Altogether 1925 men and nine
ty women sought the assistance of the
London bureau to save them from
self destruction, while at least an
equal number applied at the bureaus
in other cities 1t appears from the
review that the seekers for help be-
longed mainly to the middle classes,
More than half of them attributed the
desire to end their lives to financial
embarrassment or helpless poverty.
From the small number of women
applicants. General Booth deduces
that they are better able to bear up
under sorrows and trials than men.
He thinks it safe to say that Is per

AIIHL IND MORAN DRAW
VERDICT IS EVEN AFTER TWEEN
TY.FivE ROUNDS IN THE RING.
GREAT CROWD SEES THE BOUT
Referee Jeffries' Decision Is unques-
TONED, Except by Violent Partisans.
Both Men Land Shower Of Blows In
Final Round.

San Francisco, Jan. 2.-Owen Mo-
ran. champion featherweight of En-
gland, made a draw fight Of twenty
Ave rounds with Abe Attell, champion
Of America, who was thought to be in.
vtncible. Moran was strong and az
gressive, quick as fash and kept on
top of Attell all the time. Attell
seemed to lack force in his punches
and found 1t difficult to land blow on
vital spot, Morans eye was black
ened and his nose bled, but the pun
ishing rips to the stomach and the
swings to the jaw were missing. Mo-
rams game was to lead with either
right or left and then close in. In
the clinches he fought viciously, but
did not do Attell much harm
The final round was most exciting.
Moran seemed to take on a new lease
of vigor and, with head down, waded
into Attell, swinging rights and lefts,
When the gong rang for the close both
men kept on fighting fiercely and big
Jim Jeffries had to separate them.
His decision Of draw was received
with approval, except by violent par
tisans.
There came near being no fight, ow-
ing TO the fact that Moran was two
ounces overweight. Attell did the
Shylock act, and had to be paid $3.50
for the surplus two ounces before he
would consent to go on.
Between seven and eight thousand
people witnessed the contest.
Referee Jeffries said after the bout
that the fight was so close that he
found it difficult to give decision in
favor of either man. He thought that
Attell had slightly the better of it on
points, but not sufficiently to justify
a decision in his favor.
