Summer Boarders Believe Woman
Was Slain During Furious Struggle
Ten Miles From Burlington, N. j.

BURLINGTON, n. J. July u
Scores OF men are today dragging
Rose pond In the swamp about ten
miles from here In the hopes tha'
they will hnd the body OF beautiiui
woman who mysteriously disappeared
from the Metropolitan Inn at Burning
ton last Thursday.
Ediyences OF a struggle, togetheT
with many articles OF womans dress
have been found on the banks OF the
pond and while the county oficiais
believe they may reveal suicide, ths
summer boarders refuse TO accept that
theory and declare a murder has been
committed. Some time ago Deauu
ful girl with a splendid WARDROBE ar
rived here with handsomely DRESSED
man. They registered as MI anu
Mrs. Watkins, OF Brooklyn.
Quarrels between them were ire
quent. Thursday the man came down
from his room after Il violent quarrel
paid his bill and departed. A sport
time later the woman In distress came
down and ordered rig IN which shS
drove away She has not been seen
since.
Searchers found the rig tied to n
tpee near Rose pond. There were
signs Of struggle. The footprints OF
man and a woman could be seen.
Some sidecombs. hairpins. woman's
clothing and bottle OF whisky were
found. The earliest arrivals at the
spot say there were signs OF body
being dragged toward the pond. The
woman's room at the inn was search
ed. A number Of letters addressed 10
Miss A. NJ. Wilson, Manhattan hotel,
New York were found. In one of them
the writer asked Miss Wilson" not
TO call again at his place OF business.
In another he told her not To address
any more letters to him at the Brook
lyn address" Several names were
mentioned In the letters, but the
prosecutor refuses TO make them pub
lie for fear some innocent party Will
be injured. Residents In the vicinity
of the pond declare they heard the
screams OF a woman on Thursday
night, when the woman is supposed -
have been thrown into the pond.
A pair OF new shoes, made by New
York shoemaker. was found in the
room. indicating that the woman was
a resident OF New York.

SAGINAW VALLEY LOSES
FIGHT FOR LOWER RATES
Interstate Commerce Commission DIS
misses Complaint, Holding Pres
ent Rates Are Reasonable.

WASHINGTON. July 27.-The inter.
state commerce commission has dis
missed the complaint of the Saginaw
board OF trade and the Flint Improve
menl league the purpose OF which was
To secure reduced rates on all classes
OF freight and commodities between
the Atlantic coast territory and tue
cities in the Saginaw valley. The
claim was made that the percentage
adopted by the railroad companies TO
fix rates for the Saginaw valley was
too high when compared with the per-
centages that fixed the rates for other
groups relatively located, where the
conditions OF traffic and transportation
were substantially similar.
lin its opinion, the commission
states the percentage OF the Chica-
go rates, adopted by the defendants
as basis for fixing the rates from
the Atlantic coast territory TO sag
inaw, Flint and other points In the
Saginaw valley. is not found under
the circumstances of the case TO DE
too high when compared with the per-
centages that fix the :ates enjoyed by
other groups in adjacent territory.
The record makes II entirely clear
that Saginaw as community Is not
now suffering and has not suffered
materially in the past from an excess
sive cost OF transportation. On tie
contrary. both Saginaw and Flint dur
ing the last ten years have enjoyed
prosperity that has been quite no
table.

The Whole FANNY
In Trouble

The man who was too economi-
cal to buy a clock sent his little
boy to get the time from a neigh
Dor this rainy weather. In his
haste the boy ran over a $500
stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like a water S u m m e r
squash. His cries reached his
father, who ran to his assistance
and failing to notice a barbed wire
fence ran into that breaking it
down, cutting a handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running
a So. 90 pair of pants. The old COW
took advantage of the gap in the
fence and got into the corn field
and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the
wife ran out, upsetting a four
gallon churn full Of rich cream
into a basket Of kittens, drowning
the whole flock. In the hurry
she dropped a $500 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone,
crawled through the spilled milk
into the parlor, running a brand
new $4,000 carpet. During the
excitement, the oldest daughter
ran away with the hired man, the
dog broke up eleven setting hens,
the calves got out and chewed the
tails off of four fine shirts.
