WOMAN PLUNGER WHO
WAS KILLED" is ALIVE.
Miss Violet CharIcsworth Was
Not Hurled Over a Cliff.

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-Miss Violet Cor
don Charlesworth, whose mysterious
disappearance a short time 6 caused
a great deal of excitement because of
her remarkable career and extensive
stock deals, has been found at Oban,
Scotland.
1t was reported that Miss Charles
worth, who lived with her parents in
Wales, was killed while automobiling
near Penmaenmawr, with her sister
and the chauffeur two weeks ago. The
young woman was said to have been
hurled over the sea wall, but her body
was not recovered.
Investigation failed to show any in
dications that a body had fallen over
the cliff. This gave rise to suspicion.
A day or two ago a torn telegram adj
dressed to Violet Charlesworth was
found in a room in a hotel at Tober-
mory, Scotland, and it was ascertained
that the occupant of h room, who
answered the description of Miss
Charlesworth, had gone to Oban. She
was located there yesterday.

The practicability of the scheme Is
also questioned, as in the case of the
Board of State Prison Inspectors, which
the Governor proposes to do way with.
1t is maintained that the ~penitentiary
business cannot be properly conducted
by a force of two men, the headkeeper

therefore wants to remove 1t.

that the old incumbent be retained.
The first of these, from Gloucester
