\ deep veil of mystery still shronds
The motives and identity OF the muir

days every available member of the
police and detective departments Of
Dallas, members of the sheriff's de-
partment and several outside detect

Ton of every tangible clew, with the
result that they are no nearer a
solution, they claim, than they were
on the day the crime was committed.
Following out the details of one
c.ew led the police to believe We'd
nesday and Thursday that they would
be abb to make an arrest within a
short time. Facts learned in connec-

substance to this clew and for awhile
other clews were temporarily lost

was exhausted and proved to be
false lead upon close investigation.

state seems to be centered in the ef-

BLAME WIRELESS" FOR DRoUTH
Long Island Villagers Declare Station
There is Responsible.

New York, Aug. 2-The fact that
the Long Island village of Sayville
has been deprived of the recent
thunder showers which have visited
this vicinity is attributed by some
of the disappointed truck gardeners
to the effect which the large wirelesi
station there may have upon atmos-
pheric conditions. There has been
no rain at Sayville for more than six
weeks and a witherng drouth is re-
ported, whileo tnwns all around there
have had several heavy downpours.
The wireless plant at Sayville is
one of the most powerful in the
world, having a main shaft 500 feet
high, to which are attached hun
dreds of wires. Farmers who have
inquired of the radio inspection bu-
reau of the department of commerce
and labor as to whether wireless
plants deflert thunder showers learn
that if such is the case the instance
at Sayville is the first time it has
been reported.
