young woman. stylishly gowned and
handsome, who was found on a pier
at the waters edge. half frozen, last
night, is improving I'm Mercy hospital

found by Michigan Central section
men. Doctors worked for hours be-
fore they revived her. She told City
Physician Gowdy her name and said
she lived in Chicago. but exacted a
promise that he would not disclose
her identity.
The police are puzzled by the cir

woman has all the appearance Of re-
finement and wealth. A long military
cape OF the latest design shielded a
dress OF fashionable black. Hidden
in her corsage was roll of bills

II is the belief OF the police that
the woman arrived in st. Joseph Sun

hitting suicide. In her incoherent
murmurings at the hospital she fire.
uuently alluded to some such inten-
ton. wandering aimlessly about half
the night II is thought that she finally
staggered over a hill, crossed the rail-
road tracks and fell exhausted at the
waters edge. Had she moved she
would have fallen into the water and
drowned.
She suffered intensely from the cold
Her left leg was frozen stiff from the
knee down, while her right was badly
frostbitten. Face and hands, unpro-
tected throughout the night, also felt
the sting OF the zero weather.

the tube. Instead the party boarded
one Of the company's electric en-
gines, attached to a string of 30
freight cars, all but three Of which
were loaded, and made the trip
through the 5000 feet of concrete
from portal to portal, In less than
seven minutes. At the center OF the
tubes the train reached q velocity OF
nearly IS miles an hour, and the
rush OF cool air caused the members
Of the party to turn up their coat col
