JOIN HUNT
FOR SUITCASE
VICTIMS HEAD
Finding of Handkerchief With
Initial ct" Believed to Be
Important Clue.

TIVERTON, r. l., Oct. 1S.-Many mill
girls from Fall River today Joined the
officials in the search for the head OF
Miss Amelia st. Jean, the victim of the
New England suitcase mystery. They
aided the police in a search of the
woods and the shores Of ponds, which
were dragged.
A clue believed to be important was
found by. Deputy Sheriff Frank p.
King, of Newport. 1t Is a white cotton
handkerchief with "T' in the corner
1t Is thought the handkerchief may
belong to Thiebault, one OF the men
held at Fall River and charged with
the murder of Miss st. Jean.
The handkerchief was found in the
woods on Fish road, near Bulgermarsh
road, Tiverton, where parts of the
body of the young woman were found
last week. The handkerchief has been
turned over to the Tiverton police.
Christopher Hicks, of Tiverton, re-
ported to Police Chief Manchester that
he found a red-stained pine box, about
two feet long and about a foot high,
in his pig pen several days ago. The
police now have the box.
These finds have incensed the pee
PIE " ltNeT neat, dS lIey pcilCNS Vic
box contained the woman's head.
Professor" Frank Hill. one of the
suspects under arrest, has grown ex-
tremely reticent and refuses to make
any statement to the police.
His silence took place when a piece
of a woman's torn garment was found
in the furnace in the cellar Of his house.
1t was declared by the police that the
torn piece of cloth found corresponded
exactly to that of a torn piece of
clothing found in the bundle of clothes
which were identified as having be-
longed to Miss st. Jean.
Facts in the case which prove Hill
to nave been on close terms with the
girl are these: 1t is known that she
had consulted hin. So had others in
lei behalf.
The telescope bag found a week ago
today with the girls legs inside bore
the penciled name of Hill.
Hill drove to this town on Thursday
evening the night before Miss st. Jean
disappeared.
Hill was seen where Miss St. Jeans
clothes were found early on the Sat
urday morning following the day of her
disappearance.
Governor Pothier, of Rhode Island, it
is reported, has been asked for requisi-
ton papers for Doctor Hill and The
bault. The question first to be settled
is where the crime was actually COM
mitted.
The reward of $500 offered by the
Town Council of Tiverton for the find
ing of the head of the young woman
was partly responsible for the many
searchers at work.

SOCIALIST WANTS
TO DEBATE ISSUES
WITH OALRYMPLE
Ernest T. Neben, of East Or
ange, Candidate for Assembly,
Has Issued Challenge.

Ernest T. Neben, of East Orange,
Socialist nominee for the Assembly
from this county, today that
he had issued a challenge to Alfred n.
D~alrymple, chairman of the Essex
County Republican Committee, to de-
bate the issues of the campaign, but
had not received any reply. He issued
the letter, which was delivered to Mr..
Dalrymple on Thursday last, according
to a receipt for a registered letter. and
waited until today for a reply.
In the absence of any acceptance, Mr.
Neben said his only understanding of
the situation was that Mr.. Dalrymple
was afraid to take up the gauntlet. His
letter to Mr.. Dalrymple follows:
II see by an article in the STAR that
you desire to open the Republican,cam-
paign of Essex county with an extra
flourish and that you are endeavoring
to obtain a speaker of national promi-
hence to open the campaign at
Krueger's Auditorium. Now let me
suggest to you a far better way of
opening your political campaign, a
method which would show to the peo-
pie of Essex county just where the Re-
publican candidates for the Assembly
stand on the most vital question of the
day, namely the labor question. BY
arranging a debate you can pack the
largest auditorium in the city, and to
facilitate matters ] hereby challenge
any or all Of your candidates for As
sembly, to debate the following:
"First-That the Republican party, In
policy and practise, is, and for its own
preservation must be, a~ntagonistic to
labor's interests.
"Second-That the interests of the
workers. and the producing clauses,
can only be advanced by opposing
your party by a political party and or
ganization of their own.
IT to take the affirmative side OK
these questions.
IN making this challenge I do II
with but n object, m that Is to
bring clearly before the people of our
country the vital relations prevailing
between their ballots and manner in
which they are exploited. and I think
that you will confess hat your party,
as the present ruling party in State n
nation, should at least try and give a
reasonable explanation as to why mill
lions of our people suffer and starve
and their homes be destroyed in, a
country in which the warehouses are
bursting with the products which abor
has created; and why 1t is that millions
are unable to find work, and are denied
their right to life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness"
