BODY Of GIRL, 10,
FOUND MUT|LATED
Mother of Victim Falls in Convul-
sions, May Die-Negro
Woodchopper FIees

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Nov. 13.-The
body of little Marie Smith, aged 10,
who had been missing since last
Wednesday, was found at dusk today
in the woods near her home.
Her mother, divining how the search
had ended, rushed from the house and
took in the full horror of the scene.
Half fainting, half in convulsions, she
was carried into the house, and there
is fear she will die.
Chance discovered the body, as
chance had hidden it. The wind had
strewn fallen leaves until their color
so matched the brown of the child's
dress and her brown hair that, as she
lay face downward, she was nearly in
distinguishable from her shroud.
Searchers had often passed within
twenty feet of the spot in full day.
light in the last three days, and it was
only a random glance that discovered
the mutilated body.
Thomas Williams, known in the
neighborhood as "Black Diamond" a
negro woodchopper, employed by the
girls aunt, has been missing since the
day on which Marie disappeared A
warrant was issued for him tonight,
and an alarm for his capture sent
broadcast through the county and
state. His ak was found near the
body.
The child was small for her years
and not strong, but seems to have
fought desperately with her assailant.
The broken sticks and trampled ground
around indicate that, as do her in
juries. The blue ribbon she wore in
her hair had been tied tight about her
throat. She also had been beaten on
the forehead with some blunt instru-
ment. The leaves under her face were
matted with her blood
In her struggles she had been
grasped by the hand with such force
that gold ring she wore scratched,
and there was a wound in the cartil-
age of her nose which surgeons say
must have been caused by human
teeth shut down on it to cut off her
breath.
Marie Smith was last seen at IL
o'clock Wednesday morning on her
way to school, two blocks from her
home. The spot where her body was
found is off her path.
Williams was arrested tonight in his
room. The police went there to search
for evidence and found him. Williams
admitted he had not left the room
since Thursday, and tie appearance of
the room bore him out. His suspen-
ders were stained with what looked
like blood and towel was fl und on
which bloody hands seemed to have
been wiped.
When arrested the negro would
neither admit nor deny the crime with
which he is charged, He was taken
to jail
There was no attempt at lynching,
though sentiment against him ran high.

Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Confront-
ed by a more delicate situation than
ever, as a result of the occurrences of
the last two days. the governments
of Mexico and the United States to-
day are making every effort to restrain
their citizens from acts of violence, and
to smooth over the difficulties.
The serious problem resulting from
the burning at the stake in Texas of
Antonio Rodriguez, and the riotous
demonstrations against Americans in
Mexico City and elsewhere was further
complicated in the last forty-eight
hours by the shooting of Jesus Loza
by Carlos B. Carothers, an American,
at Guadalajara, and the assassination
of Chief of Police w. C. Temple, of
Anadarko, Okla, by a Mexican.
Ambassador de Ia Barra today pre-
sented to the state department the dis
patch from Foreign Minister Creel, in
which President Diaz expressed sat
isfaction over President Taft's assur-
ance that he would do all in his power
to punish those guilty of the crime re
Gently committed against Rodriguez in
Texas.
PRESIDENT TAKES PRECAUTIONS
President Taft is being kept informed
by wireless of developments in the
Mexican situation. His personal friend
ship for President Diaz is a strong fac
tor in the peaceful settlement of ex-
listing difficulties. In President Taft s
absence, Secretary Knox is taking ev-
cry precaution to prevent offenses
against Mexicans in the territory ad-
joining Mexico.
Today the state department, on
learning that a Mexican had shot
Police Chief Temple at Anadarko and
that 300 men were searching for the
assassin, sent a telegram to the gov
ernor of Oklahoma to prevent sum-
mary vengeance If he is caught.
Ambassador de la Barra today tele-
graphed the Mexican consul at Kansas
City, who has supervision over the
territory which includes Oklahoma,
ordering a full investigation of the
shooting of Chief Temple. He gave
especial instructions to learn whether
the assassin was an American citizen
Senior de la Barra also is endeav-
oring to ascertain the nationality OF
Antonio Rodriguez.

ANADARKO, OKLA, Nov. 1S.-
Though posses have searched in all di-

time.

Missouri's Navigable Waters.

Missouri has as many, If not more
miles Of natlgable streams either flow.
ing through 1t or along its borders as
Mississippi river forms the entire east
ern boundary OF the state, and its
length along Missouri exceeds 500
miles. The Missouri river first
touches the state at the extreme north
west corner, and flowing along the
border for a considerable distance
crosses the state in n winding curse
and enters the Mississippi river half
way between Arkansas and Iowa. The
rivers channel for this distance is
about 575 miles long. The Usage river,
during ante-railroad days, was a
igated by steamboats, from its mouth
to Warsaw, in Benton county; minor
crafts assembled the river ever to
Schell City, which Is only n few miles
from the Kansas line, and some boats
yet carry considerable traffic on va
rious sections of the Usage. The
G~asconade Is another navigablc
stream for small vessels. but its traffic
now Is not extensive. The navigable
distance Of the two large streams Of
Missouri reaches about LOO miles,
adding to this the 400 miles and more
of the G%asconade and the Usage rivers,
we find the total n~avigable distance Of
all the streams to be at least 1900
miles, a natural asset which deserves
recognition and announcement from
congress and our Legislature"

MISSOURI STATE NEWS
River Improvement.

The question of river improvement
and water navigation constitutes one
chapter in the special report which
has been prepared by the state labor
bureau, which points out why the fed.
eral government should cooperate
with the land owners along the "a.
rlous streams in improving the condi.
tions Of the river and %levceing. The
special report, which has been pre-.
pared by j. II. Nolan, deputy labor
commissioner, under the direction of
Labor Commissioner j. c. 4. Hitler,
has the following to say III this sub
ject: 1.-The federal government, which
by authority of our constitution exer-
cises full control over the navigable
rivers, should cooperate with the ad-
jacent land In constructing
levees to prevent Overlooking of their
property for the following
The deepening and Strengthening of
river channels will allow the flood
waters to flow out more repidly, there
by diminishing the flood dangers to
land; levees, in return, will assist in
combining the waters to the courses
defined by the government. bikes and
revetments preserve the banks and
keep the levees from being under
mined; levees will fortify the govern
ment works and prevent the foods
from cutting new channels through
fields. River improvement will bring
cheaper transportation rates and Sc
cure justice In behalf Of the people;
levee districts, as in the South, will
become densely populated and manu-
featuring Industries will center there,
because OF the soils productivcness,
cheaper living and reasonable trans
portation rates, and these conditions
will augment river traffic. Protected
river banks viii make it possible for
farmers to cultivate the land nearer
the river channels, thereby increasing
the amount OF tillable area; levccs will
reduce the amount of earth that IS
washed into the streams, and diminish
the quantity OF sediment to be de-
posted along the banks and in chan
nels."
