personal use. it is said that Mr.. Hartman will
give the benefit Of these recreation grounds to
all those upon the estate.
For a number of years past the Hartman
family has occupied what is known as the old
Parrot homestead" near the Erie station ut

This season, just before Mr.. Hartman sailed

for use The interior decorations are being
chosen by Mrs Hartman and arranged under
her personal direction.
Work is also going forward upon Mr. Harri-
mans house at No. $50 Fifth avenue. Plans have
been filed with the Buildings Department for 4
solarium upon the roof. Mr. Hartman has re-
Gently purchased this residence and purposes

is so planned that it may be readily converted
into a roof garden overlooking Central Park.
The mansard story of the house is to be remOd-

may serve as an indoor sOarium or outdoor iv-

to live close to nature even in the heart of a
great city.
Sunlight and fresh air Will be brought ahun-

where a new and ornamental bay window Will
be installed and fitted with cosey window seat.
Mr. Hartman is having all the present gaS

PROBING DAYTON
 MURDER MYSTERY

Dayton, O., February 6.-There were no new developments in the Fulhart murder case tonight The police are holding an unknown woman, who was in the com pany of the dead girl for a few days previous to her death, and her former sweetheart, Albert Wilkie, is also in the station house. The evidence on which these two prisoners are being held is of , the most flimsy character and it is prob- able that both will be released before morning
 Mrs. J. H. Long, who lives across the alley from the scene of the tragedy, said tonight that she remembers hearing screams last Tuesday night, but thought nothing of it, as such occurrences were noted almost nightly.
 On account of the absence of wounds on the body the police are now proceeding on the theory that the girl was poisoned or drugged. Scrapings from her finger nails have been sent to a chemist for a microscopic examination in the expec tation that the test will develop something 10 indicate whether her slayer was white or black
 Apparently the key that is to unlock the door to the mystery surrounding the death of pretty Elizabeth Fulhart is in the hands of one person. and that person is a woman. The police are looking for a tall, slender young woman who was seen in the company of the dead girl about 3 o'clock on the afternoon of January 20. in front of a moving picture show, and they believe once this woman is located she will be able to give some information that will be of high value to them in their ef- forts to unravel the mystery.
 There is evidence that Elizabeth Full hart had an elderly gentleman friend whom she sometimes met in Dayton.
