HUNDREDS SPEND FOURTH
 AT EAST NEWPORT

The popular resort, East Newport was visited by larger crowds this Fourth of July than in any previous year. The big bay was dotted with boats all day Sunday and Monday. Scores of people who had not known the attractions of the resort until the recent large advertising campaign, spent a few days there and many will spend the entire summer there. There is an attraction about the pen insular of white sand that stretches for nree miles between the ocean anu bay that no other summer resort can boast of, Fishing this summer Is better than at any time for years and much sport Is afforded the sum- mer visitors as a great deal of the better fishing is found in the bay.
 The management of the resort re- ports that many lots have been sold at East Newport this summer and scores of houses have been built and are still building.

band of Woman Found
Dead.
BUNDLE OF PAPERS
WITH HIS SUIT CASE
Clerk Now in Washington Says
Suspected Woman Tried to
Get Documents.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The mystery Of
the death Of Mrs. Ocey Wardlaw Mar
tin Snead. who was found dead I'm the
bath tub Of-an unfinished house in
East Orange, n. j.. was further deep
ened today by the discovery OF a suit
case containing clothing OF Fletcher
Snead, the dead womans husband. his
wife's visiting cards, and two packages
of papers. The suitcase and documents
were found in a drug store on the East
Side.
DR.. F. o. Collins, proprietor said that
the suitcase was left there by A man
who answers Snead's description, with
the request that they be cared for. The
two bundles of papers were left at the
drug store by heavily yelled. elderly
woman. about five months ago.
Some time later an older woman
called at the store and asked for the
papers. but was refused. This woman
has been identified by the clerk who
refused the demand as Miss Virginia
Wardlaw. aunt Of the dead woman.
In Washington, d. C, identified a pho
tograDh of the aunt as the woman who
wanted the papers.
Among the developments that the po-
lice are considering in their work on the
case is the statement OF Julian V.
Carabba, a Brooklyn lawyer, who says
that 5000 was offered him by Miss
Snead's will so that Miss WardlaW
would inherit all of the property.
Mrs. Snead's mother, Caroline 3.
Martin, has disappeared as mysteri-
ously as her sOn-in-law. and no trace Of
her can be found.
