woman who gave her name as Louise
Gavagan. OF No 81 West Goth street.
The police Of the West 37th street station

woman.
The head OF the infant shows marks
which lead the police TO believe murder
had been committed before the babys
body was placed in the trunk. The news
paper wrappnEs were yellow. with red
dish blotches that might prove to be
bioodstains.
At the West 10Th street address per

NEW STYLE CO|FFURES
FOR BARNARD FRESHMEN
Kind Sophomores Rearrange
Hairdressing of UnSophis-
tiCated 1917.

Barnard freshmen-23O Of them-learned
submission through the roots OF their hair
yesterday afternoon, when the "Mys-
teries," the annual hazing ceremony. de-
generated into a hair pulling stunt. Not
that 1t was lacking in dignity. Trust
sophomores to be ever watchful for their
dignity.
The upper class girls stood in two lines
along the Boardwalk" which leads
across the quad" forming a ganuet for
the freshmen to run. Every little fresh
man was ordered TO take down her hair,
in token Of submission to her supcriors.
and to run the gantlet respectfully. with
eyes cast down. AS most OF the fresh
men refused TO take down their beautiful
coils, snails and curves-because. if they
did, how could they ever get them up
again?-the sophomores were obliged 10
assist in the undoing OF the coiffures.
Each step the freshman took was punctu-
ated by two pulls at those coils behind
her ears and long before the centre Of
the cruel line was reached the freshman
had learned her proper place. Not the
most obstreperous Of them all but bowed
very politely TO the senior president, Miss
Louise Adams.
Meantime. a band OF marauding fresh
men, aided by the juniors. had stolen the
ice cream which was TO have graced the
love feast after the tanning of the shrews.
Student Council. however. rescued the
eats"
1t was a busy day for Student Council,
the small group of officials who consti-
tute the police force. the street cleaning
department and the Anthony Comstock OF
Barnard. Their activities began at noon.
when they reprimanded the freshmen and
sophomores for rough housing" in the
corridors. 1t didn't make any difference,
said Student Council, II the sophomores
were Just sauntering" down the hall
while the freshmen lust happened"
around the corner.
Next, the seniors and sophomores were
recovering their spirits by marching a
frightened little freshman at the head Of
snake dance around the hagpole. Stu
dent Council rescued the freshman.
About o'clock charming member Of
the sophomore class happened to meet
the freshman president in the hallway
and most graciously invited her to tea
in the dorm" The freshman innocenuy
accepted-as who wouldn't, when a sopho-
more is gracious? 1t was delicious tea,
too. but all OF a sudden that charming
sophomore left the room and locked her
guest inside!
1t was melodramatc day, but the
freshmen have one consolation II is the
end They won't have to wear green but
| tons. as Of. yore. They can walk TO col
lege with their Columbia friends as often
as they choose. They can wear all the

Probably the foremost figure in the
group against which indictments were
returned in Providence is John Wesley
Dc Kay. whose financial affairs have at
various times attracted considera Bile
comment. Not the smallest of his
transactions was the creation OF a Next
can beef trust" which for a time as
sumed large proportions.
De Kay's career as a free lance capt

bought, one al time. a chain OF coun-

turned TO cattle raising. 1t was in the

De Kay saw an opportunity to gain a
monopoly OF the meat business In Mex
leo. lie had gone from South Dakota
TO Texas. and there had organized the
North American Beef Company. But
prospects across the border were more
alluring. and he went 10 Mexico City to
exercise his promoting talents.
In that city he met George l. Ham.
who had gone there from Canada as
railroad fireman Ham also was am
bilious. and had built up an imposing
institution which he called the United
States Bank OF Mexico. In this bank
much English and Mexican and some
American capital was interested. Ham
agreed to finance the project which De
Kay outlined.
Millions Of dollars Of bonds and stocks,
Il was said. were sold TO American and
European investors. Among the bond
houses which offered the securities was
that OF STEELE e. De Kay. of which Eek
ford Craven De Kay. formerly military
secretary TO Ex-Governor Dix and a rela-
