The Identification was made by Fred
orick Schmidt, the young woman's
fiancee, an electrical contractor OF

tenant NJ. /. Silyerton, OF the same
place.
The body was so badly decomposed
that Identification, except from the
jewelry and clothing, was difficult.
Mr.. Schmidt and Lieutenant Silverton
Immediately Identified diamond
ring and portions Of clothing as the
property of Miss Snodgrass, Schmidt
recognized the ring as the one he
had given her when they became en-
gagged.
Mr.. Schmidt, after a thorough in
spection Of the corpse, said:
I'm satisfied 1t is the body OF
Miss Snodgrass.'
Lieutenant Sllverton was equally
emphatic. There are many theories
advanced as to events Immediately
preceding Miss Snodgrass' death and
to the cause of death itself. Coroner
Van Vandenberg has certified that

Ing" Local officials. however, are
inclined to believe that Miss Snod
grass was the victim Of foul play.

opinion that Miss Snodgrass died as
the result of an accident.

charge Of the police investigation, to-
night said:
in my opinion. Miss Snodgrass'
dead body was brought up d Bois
creek In a launch or boat and de-
posted at or near the place where 1t

have been possible for the body to
have been carried by the tide so far
up the stream"
The body was found yesterday af-
ternoon by James Young and his
daughter, who were canoeing along
the banks OF Du Bois creek. The
many turns in the creek lead the Of
flcials to doubt that the body was
carried so far by the tide.

FIXED Prices BOTH Ways
Forced st. Louis Firm To Sell al
Their Figures and TO Buy
From Them.

ST. LOUIS, July 2s.-Attorneys
forced IT, Clay Pierce and associates
to reveal in the federal court here to-
day secrets Of the Standard OiPs al
legged domination Of the Water Pierce
Oil company. The statements were
made during an argument for the de-
fense in Henry NJ. Tilford's suit to
oust Pierce and other officers Of the
Pierce company.
Tilford. representing the Standard
Oil interests, alleged in his suit that
Pierce dominated the Pierce company
and that the concern had been mis-
managed. He seeks to prevent Pierce
and his associates from disposlng of
SO, 900, 900 gold notes of the Pierce
company.
Attorneys for Pierce declared dur
ing the argument that one Of the pc
culiar features of the relations of
the Standard and Pierce companies
was that the Standard did not permit
the st. Louis company to own a refin-
cry in the United States, thereby com
pelling 1t to purchase It's refined oil
from the Standard company.
The Pierce company was permitted
to operate a refinery In Mexico, ac-
cording OF the attorneys, but the prod
uct of that refinery was not suffi-
cient to supply more than the Mex
lean trade,
One of the contentious Of Tilford
in charging mismanagement OF tie
Waters-P Pierce company by Pierce was
that the company had built refinery
in Oklahoma. The building OF this
refinery. according to the attorneys,
was necessary for the Pierce company
to get out Of the clutches of the
Standard company.
Attorneys charged that when the
government ordered the dissolution OF
the Standard OIL company, the con-
tract between the Pierce and Stand
ard company compelling the former to
buy from the latter remained In eff
