Asbury Park. y. J.. Nov 1.-THE
body of little Marie Smith, 10 years
old, who had been missing since last
Wednesday, was found at dusk yes
terday in the woods near her home.
Something told her mother how the
search had ended, for although an
effort was made to shield her, she
rushed from the house and took in
the full horror of the fact before she
could be withheld. Half fainting,
half in convulsions, she was carried
into the house, and there it Is feared
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 law face downward she was near
ly indistinguishable from her shroud.
Searchers had often passed within
20 feet of the spot in full daylight,
in the last three days, and it was only
a random glance that discovered the
mutilated body.
Thomas Williams, known in the
reighborhood as "Black Diamond" A
negro woodchopper employed by the
girls aunt has been missing since
the day on which Marie disappeared.
warrant was issued for him last
night and an alarm for his capture
was sent broadcast through the coun-
ty and state.
His axe was found near the body.
The child was small for her years
and not strong, but seems TO have
fought desperately with her assail-
ant. The broken sticks and trampled
ground around her showed that, as
did her injuries. 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 instrument. The leaves under
her face were matted with her blood.
In her struggles she had been
grasped by the hand with such force
that a gold ring she wore had been
flattened into the flesh. Her arms
were badly scratched and there was a
wound in the cartilage of her nose
which surgeons say must have been
caused by human teeth shut down on
it to cut off her breath.
Marie was last seen at II 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 and either she must
have been enticed into the woods or
picked up and carried there.

compare the situation and the con-
dition of the wage working masses
then and now. The history of the
movement can not be recounted here.
SO far as it is written, it may be trac-
ed in the official proceedings of our
conventions, in The American Feder-
ationist, in the official trade journals,
and in the labor press. The unwrit-
ten history and some of its most i'm
portant work lie in the archives Of
the offices of the organized labor
movement, local, international and
federated. That which is obvious to
all is the progress which has been
made in the physical well-beng, in
the mental, moral, political and social
advancement Of the toilers. This pro-
gress is evidenced in their higher
character and more Independent spr-
it, in their recognition of the identity
in the interests of all wage-workers
and in the solidarity of their feeling
and action, together with their wider
horizon of duties and rights, their
broader sympathies for all mankind,
and their determination to struggle on
for the eradication Of every wrong
and the attainment Of their every
right to which they, in common with
their fellow-men, are justly entitled.
advancement also may be clearly
seen in the tribute all pay to the en-
nObling work OF our movement and
in the better conception which our
people have of the splendid achieve
ments due to the persistent efforts
OF the organized labor movement of
our time.
''It may not be uninteresting as an
indication of our movements growth
to call attention to the fact that at
our first convention in Pitsburg, Pa,
only six International unions were rep
resented. with a number of scattering
locals. In St Louis, twenty-five years
ago. there were seventeen interna-
tional unions with few central bod
les and locals. Note the list of dele
gates to this convention and the or
ganizations they represent and, at
glance the great progress made is ap-
parent. This does not account for
several hundred central bodies and
the local unions affiliated but unrep-
resented by delegates.
Pursuant to law and custom your
president is directed to make an an
nual report to you as to his steward
ship Of the rights and interests of
the workers which you have placed
in his keeping He is to give an ac-
counting of his acts to protect and
advance the sacred cause of labor
and he is to offer such advice and
make such suggestions as commend
the sacred cause Of labor and he is to
offer such advice and make such sug-
gestions as commend themselves to
his veal. Among the myriad matters
which have come before me for action
or which I have initiated, It is exceed
ingly difficult to discriminate as to
which are the most important to be
submitted to you. While 1t is true
that every event or project in the la
Dor movement is in its way import
ant, all the issues are not vital or i'm
minent, and yet all subjects must re-
ceive careful and conscientious at
tenton. Time may render some mat
ters only relatively important. Con-
sideratlon such as these have deter
mined my course both in the past and
in making this report, which I now
have the honor to submit"
