Scores Uf Women Missing
From Newark News]

Since the body of the murdered woman
was found in Harrison on Thursday last,
scores of people have visited the morgue
IN the hope Of identifying the remains and
thus discovering the fate Of some young
woman of their acquaintance or relationship
Each one of those who viewed the body
knew of some woman OF twenty or thirty
years missing for days or weeks, or even
longer, from their proper homes. They
have come from New York, Paterson, Buff
falo, Elizabeth, Brooklyn and almost every
city within comparatively easy travelling
distance TO the place where the body was
found, but thus far all but one of those who
came went away with their respective mys-
teries still unsolved.
There is nothing new in these circum-
stances 1t is the rule. Whenever in New
York body is discovered and placed in the
morgue for Identification, hundreds of peo-
Pile gather to see it, in the sorrowful hope
OF ending the worry and agonized suspense
with reference to some member of the FAM
lily who has been missing for months or
years 1t seems almost increditable that
there are so many missing ones, but their
number is far greater than most people sus-
pect
For the most part these missing girls and
women are those that have been enticed
from their homes by villianous agencies for
dens Of the lowest grades, or are those who
are two Maynard to submit to parental OF
other restraint Once in those vile resorts
they are seldom found, and rarely do they
Wis j, when they come to appreciate their
degradation, any of their relatives and
friends to know where they are Thus
they are nevermore heard from till they
commits suicide in despair, or are murdered
and their bodies are thrown in the water OF
upon some refuse heap.
But not all are Of this class There are
still others who are carried away by forct
or are mentally unbalanced aud wander
away. II these fall into the hands OF the
vile and the treacherous, they too are hid
den beyond the reach Of those who would
rescue them, and only death reveals theil
sad history. And to think that 10 thes,
feeming. populous cities there are scores o
Just such women and young girls; the vic
tins Of their own TO ~ and the brutal pas
sions of others worse than themselves. Their,
is an awful lesson 10 the Harrison crime
for every girl who thinks she ought to havs
her own way and to whom parental restraint
Is zoo severe to be tolerated Such girli
set out TO have good time and scores
Of them are soon among the missing, ant
their lives are ended in fearful, shamcfu
tradgedy.

Last week our advertising patrons and
news correspondence made so unexpected a
demand on our space that our Trenton
letter and some editorial comment was
crowded out. In reading the Inaugural
Address our readers must have been i'm
pressed with the fact that His Excellsncy
followed very closely last Falls Democratic
county platform in advocating the abolition
of the voting machine, the repeal of the law
creating County Boards of Taxation, and
the separation of municipal and State cleo
tions. In his short stay in Gloucester Co.
Governor Fort must haye absorbed the
sentiments Of this county pretty thorough
" While this county went Republican
last Fall, yet nine out of ten voters were
opposed to the County Tax Board, the com.
bining of elections and the voting m chine,
nd a majority voted the Republican til ket
more as tribute TO habit than through
sympathy with the party's position on
these subjects
Ii is not necessary for us to add that
about one hundred office holders in New
Jersey are not very happy oyer the pros
poets ahead

to require legislative action for relief
The resolution provides that a senate
| committee investigate the matter.
In executive session yesterday the
senate confirmed two of the long list
of nominations sent in last week by
/ Governor Fort The nominations of
Colonel Frederick Gilkyson as state
road commissioner and Charles G..
Black as circuit court judge were con-
firmed. These combinations were abb
solutely necessary, as the positions are
vacant, but the general impression pre-
vailed that the senate was holding up
| the others because the governor did
not consult the members before MAX
ing his selections. However, the 9th
ers were held over, as is the usual
custom.
