 oIcb Prove BaseIess.

New York. Feb. "A runnor that the body of Dorothy Arnold had been found in a Central Park lake was posted on a newspaper bulletin board here today and telephoned to the fam fly, but it proved as baseless as all other clues thus far discovered
 The park patrol found a womans shoe on the edge of the largest of the park lakes. It's size was 1-2 but that did not quiet the rumor and swarms of reporters and photogra phers were soon securing the shores.
 There was the usual crop of rumors concerning the young woman today but nothing tangible developed. Geo. S. -Griscom, Jr., the young Pittsbur- ger, whom relatives sought abroad in the hope that he had knowledge of here whereabouts. is due in New York on Thursday next. He is aboard the steamship Berlin and will probably confer with MT. Arnold, though he has declared he knows nothing of Miss Arnofd's disappearance.

Dean Henry said that Q service com mission ought not to be made up of lawyers. It should be business com mission; it does not take lawyer to decide whether or not a train should stop at stations. It is simply a ques- ton of business. He told of the fights between the people and corporations involving corruption on the part or the latter and the campaigns of La Toilette. He said that the Wisconsin people have wealth enough to take the railroads and assume their indebtted- ness. He did not believe it was time for the state to do that. Dean Henry said that if the corporations continued to antagonize the people the end will be anarchy. Socialism, he said, is bound to come. It cannot be stopped. Let us have a peaceful revolution" he said. The time. is here for a peaceful revolution in Connecticut

PROTEST FROM LABOR UNIONS.
Against Eliminating 6-Hour oiause
 From Naval Appropriation Bill.
Especial to The Builetin.)

Especial to The Buiief1n.)
 Washington, Feb. 2.--Au the Com necticut members of the house this morning, received telegrams from the secretary of the Connecticut State Federation of Labor. asking them in behalf of organized labor to vote to retain the S-hour clause in the naval appropriation bill and the provision for the building of at least one battle ship at a government navy yard. Sim liar resolutions have been adopted and forwarded to members of congress- from other labor bodies, and the pro- tests win probably pour in on the members before the naval appropria- tion bill is finally disposed of.
 The protests from the labor unions Indicate that there will be a great fight on the floor of the house when these two sections come up for action. Representative Hughes, of New ter sey, will probably lead the fight for the s-hour provision, while Representative Fitzgerald of New York will take charge of the section for the building of a warsi1ip at one of the government yards.

misrepresentation of negotiable securi- ties which he handled is a surprise to all his associates, who regarded him as a most trustworthy man.

 Probably First Venture in Wall Street.
 MT. Terry said he did not fully know the nature of St. Johns speculation. but he believed it must have been a sudden venture, and perhaps his first one in Wall street. He was certain that the shortage did not cover any great length of time.
 His Wife Prostrated.
