Gle VS. In ISLlP CASE
Police Seek Facts Regarding
Missing Girls.

Islip Long Island. Oct. 20 tspeciaD-
II is the general belief here to-day that
the young woman whose charred skeleton
was found on Sunday in a lonely patch
of scrub oak quarter OF a mile from the
home Of Joseph Sthmidt was murdered.
No further progress was made toward es-
tablfshing her Identity. The theory Of
murder is based largely on the discovery
of flattened bullet in the earth near
the skeleton and hole in the jawbone.
The fact that no weapon has been found
near by seems TO dispose of any suicide
possibility.
1t is believed that the clothing will fur
nish the key to the murder A gold watch
made in Switzerland and bearing the
initials, "A l.. 1885,. was found in the
wearing apparel which was OF the finest
quality. There was a necklace of teak
wo"d, hung with a diamond studded gold
locke;. a pearl pendant and bracelet with
drop pearl In a pocket of the coat was
found bilhead of Koch & .Vetter, Deli
catessen.' upon which a receipt for some
furniture had been written
The woman was about five feet seven
inches tall. Two of her lower front teeth
were double. like normal back teeth. An
automobile veil of peau de cyne was
found near the skeleton.
From the condition of the skeleton it is
thought that the young woman was killed
at least year ago. The forest fires last
fall would account for the charred condi-
ton. The fact that her shoes had rubber
heels and that a paper stamped 'Manhat-
tan" was found in one of the pockets of the
jacket has given rise to a theory that the
young woman might have been attached to
the Manhattan Insane Asylum at Central
Islip. The only attendant who ever dlsap-
peared from the asylum was May Smith,
and a dentist who had examined her teeth
said the skeleton was not that OF Miss
Smith
Coroner Savage said to-day that he had
been informed by the Jersey City police
that Calvin Dubois. who lives at No. 5St
Ocean avenue. Jersey City, had said he be-
lieVed the woman was Catherine Schwartz.
who formerly lived at No. Ills Hancock
street. Brooklyn. and disappeared about a
year ago. The description furnished by
Dubois corresponds in certain particulars
with that OF the skeleton. He said he
thought she had a brother employed in the
Brooklyn navy yard. She was a stenog
rapher
The New York police have found on their
list of missing persons the name OF Annie
Ledger. of Lawrence. Mass. who was re-
ported missing on April Is. She was de-
scribed as being feet 6 inches tall.

WRlGHT'S NE " MARK
Breaks College Park Record
for Long Distance Flight.
iron The Tribune Bureau.I

Washington. Oct. 2o.-There was the
largest crowd at College Park for the
flight OF the Wright aeroplane this after
noon that there has been since the training
flights began. The starting rail had been
switched around and was pointed straight
against the ;hree-mie wind that was blow
ing at the time
Among the visitors were Augustus Post.
OF New York. secretary of the Aero Club
Of America. and Clifford B. Harmon. who
with Mr.. Post, won the recent balloon race
from St. Louis and set new figure for
long distance ballooning in this country
Mr. Post was one of the Wrights' faithful
adherents at Fort Myer in the summer OF
1905. when the Baldwin dirigible and the
first Wright aeropiane we're being tried.
He came here at that time for three days
and was here three months. so he felt
fatherly interest in the performance OF the
machine at College Park.
and that broke the record for long distance
and that broke the record for long-distance
flying at the park. Mr.. Wright was IN
Washington throughout the day and did
not arrive at the field until 5:l5. The ma
chine was sent of promptly, and imme-
diately after leaving the end of the ran
made a turn TO the west almost at right
angles 10 it's line of flight. MIR. Wright en-
gireered this turn. 10 avoid going over the
heads Of the crowd grouped at the sheo
close to the end of the mOnorail.
Lieutenant Humphreys was the passen-
ger, and after the machine was once in the
air. almost complete control of its move
menis was given TO him. The flight was
made at a low altitude, the turns being
consider ably longer than usual The land
ing was made by Lieutenant Humphreys
without assistance and was almost as
good as the average of those made by MI
Wright The exact time of the flight was
q minutes and . seconds.
The morning flights, which began soon
after sunrise, were brief, owing to the
cold weather. The machine was brought
out at 6:5l. but two false starts were MADE
the trouble being caused by cold engine
After the engine had been warmed up the
machine got into the air at 7:2s. and Lieu
tenant Humphreys took a three minute
flight. Al 7:3s Lieutenant Lahm was taken
up and remained in the air seven minutes
Mr.. Wright and his pupils were thor
oughly chilled by that time and the les
sons we're adjourned until after breakfast.
Then flight of three and half minutes
was made but the wind had begun to
threaten and the flights were stopped until
the long trip made with Lieutenant
Humphreys late this afternoon.

FOR CONSERV4TION.
Practical Results Expected
from Neso Orleans C0nUention.

Washington, Oct 20-Believing that the
time has come for definite action looking
10 the conservation of the nations great

ment from all parts OF the country VIII
gather in New Orleans on November l,
when the first important steps toward put
ting the principles OF conservation into
practical effect will be taken.
The Governors and the chairmen Of con-
servation commissions OF fourteen South
ern states. Clifford Pinchot, chief forester
and chairman OF the joint committee on
conservation: ]. D. White. chairman of the
executive committee of the national con-
servation congress- and others VIII take
part in the proceedings.
On the night of November the chairmen
of the state conservation commissions VIII
confer with Mr.. Pinchot on methods or

accomplished by the commissions repre-
scented.
The keynote OF the meeting will be
practical results" The deliberations or
the convention will have an important
bearing on conservation in all parts OF the
country. particularly in the South IL Is
expected that recommendations VIII De
made for adoption by the state legislatures
OF laws for the purpose OF arresting the
great waste now going on In the natural
resources of the South.
I'm the judgment of many said Mr..
Pinchot tonight, the improvement of our
inland waterways is one of the most vital
problems relating 10 the conservation OF
our natural resources. Indeed. any COM
prehensive plan of waterway improvement.
even though it may be primarily for navi-
cation purposes. must take into considera-
ton the use of the waters for irrigation,
water power and domestic supply. Lasting
waterway improvement depends largely on
the conservation of forests to protect the
head waters and to protect soil erosion.

said. in speaking of the conservation move
ment. there is no other question OF equal
gravity now before the nation

FORGERY CASE GROWS
alleged Spurious Notes No5o
Total $50 900.

birmingham, Mass, oct 2o-Three more
town notes of which Frank E. Hemenway
Town Clerk, could find no trace on the
Selcctmen's record of approval. were pre-
scented TO Mr.. Hemenway late to-day by
man who declined to give his name and
whose identity the Town Clerk would not
disclose. These notes were for $4,000 each
and bore the signatures of Treasurer LON
bard and Selectmen William II. Walsh and
F. p. Stockwell. They also bore the certi-
lcatiOn of Clerk Hemenway 10 the fact
that the town had authorized the Treasurer
TO borrow money by the issue of town notes
to anticipate the payment Of taxes. Mr..
Hemenway explained that at the request of
Lombard he often had signed such certifi-
cations on blank notes in advance as a
matter of convenience. He said that. in his
opinion the signatures of Walsh and Stock
well on these notes were forged. The notes
bore the date of September %, 1905
This brings the total amount represented
by alleged spurious notes which have been
turned in 10 the Town Clerk up to SIS, 600
The town officials believe that this repre-
sents less than half of the alleged forged
notes which have been issued
The Selectmen of the town have been
able 10 connect Charles S. Cummings. the
Boston broker, with transactions in notes
OF the town as far back rs 1896. During the
five years between 1896 and 1901, thirty-one
notes were sold to the State Treasurer by
brokers', who received about 5000 in pre-
mums. The fact that the brokers received
5000 in premiums while the town is credited
with none, indicates. according to the Sc
lectmen, that LOmbard's alleged irregulari-
ties date back at least to 1896
a town official stated tonight that notes
valued AT $4,000, and held by a bank in
Montpelier. Vt. have been questioned as
being not legally issued
