MURDER CLUE
BEEN FOUND
AT KEAhSBURG

New York. Sept. II. Detectives
working under Inspector Faurot, after
proving that most of the "c!ews" to
the identity Of the young woman who
was murdered, chopped up and thrown
into the North river led into blind al
leys, were left with only two trails.
One of these grew out of the pur-
chase Of a pillow of peculiar design
from George Sachs, 2762 Eighth ave-
nue.. 1t gave promise of affirmative
results. According to Inspector Faurot
the men working under him may be
able to report material progress today.
Like several other so called clews,
rumors and theories we have worked
on" said the inspector, the trail we
are following may lead us into another
blank wall. We will know before even
ing"
The other lead that may aid the de-
tectives was the finding yesterday OF
the upper part of the leg of woman
on the beach near the Morris pavilion,
Keansburg, N. J. 1t was made by
Norman Carhart and Irving Broander.

take the leg to the Hoboken morgue to
see If 1t corresponds with the other
parts Of the young woman's body found
on the shore opposite Manhattan.
The portion Of the leg apparently
had been separated from the body
with saw. 1t measured fourteen
inches, the section extending from
about three inches below the hip joint
to two inches below the knee joint. No
decomposition had set it.

time the thieves were in flight to-
wards Port Reading.
The thieves entered the station
about 3 o'clock this morning by fore
ing open a window on the easterly
side of the ticket office. Indications
are that they were only after cash or
Its equivalent. They disturbed moth
ing but what was in an ordinary iron
safe, overlooking a sum of money in
the railroad ticket drawer. 1t was
about 3:15 o'clock when Mr.. Zettle-
mOyer and his sister and brother-in-
law with whom he is staying, were
awakened by noise from below a
short time later, as a freight train
was passing, they felt the building
shake with an explosion. A rush
was made down stairs but the occu-
pants were barred from going by the
wired door.
NJ. Zettlemoyer rushed up stairs
and with revolver in hand took aim
at four men he saw running north
ward from the station. They disap-
peared beyond his sight after passing
the freight house. He was unable
to see If they had a waiting automo-
bile or other conveyance, Indica-
ttons are that they remained on foot
running close by the Central tracks
toward Port Reading.
Ten minutes elapsed before Mr..
zettlemoyer, with the aid Of the
other occupants of the house was
able to force the lower door open.
He rushed into the station and found
the safe door had been blown open
and all valuable contents taken.

On the evening of July 2Sth, the
following proposition was brought to
me from Mayor Garretson to the eff
feet that neither the Progressives or
Republicans could win out at the
coming elections If each party had
a ticket in the field, and that if the
Progressives would draw their men
out Of the fourth and sixth wards
and stand by the Republican candi-
dates in these two wards the Repub-
licans would stand by the Progress
sive candidate in the second ward,
also the Progressive candidate for
alderman at large.
My answer to this was that the
Progressives were not making deals
with any other political party as it
was entirely against our principles;
that from a Republican stand point

CITIZENS DEMAND THE
EXTENSION OF TROLLEY

Beliefs that the Public Service
Railway Company is playing "dog
In the manger," and really wants to
extend trolley service in the north
western section in addition to double
tracks on Smith and State streets,
but does not want the city to know
1t, were advanced at the public
hearing on It's double track petit
uons before the mayor and council
last night. The corporation was
held to be foxy" concern backed
by eminent lawyers and 1t was urged,
especially by city officials, that ac-
tion on petitions for franchises be
not made hastily, so that the city
could have a good opportunity to
give mature consideration, as fran
chises were considered valuable. J.

HAVE LOCATED
MISS SMEADS
AT KINGSTON
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Keyport, Sept. 11:-Miss Lucy
Smeads, the pretty twenty year old
daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. Meys
Smeads, Of First street, this place,
who has been strangely missing from
New York city since June 18, has
been found by her brother In King
ston, N. Y. He has wired his par
ents that he expects to return with
her tonight. Her excuse for the fail
ure of the parents to hear from her
is that letters and cards she sent
must have gone astray.' Her where
abouts first became known when
Mrs Smeads received a letter from
her on Tuesday Mr. and Mrs.
Smeads doubted the truth Of mes
sage and Immediately sent their son
Roy to investigate. Much publicity
was given her disappearance when
parts of a woman's body were found
in the Hudson river. Description of
the torso, arms and legs correspond
ed with that OF the missing girl,
Aroused by the notoriety given her
absence it is believed, the girl sent
letter to her mother, stating she
was safe in Kingston.
The young man sent two kilograms
to his father and mother yesterday.
One stated that he had arrived all
right at Kingston and had found
Lucy, and wanted the address Of de-
tectives employed SO as to end the
search. The next followed shortly
afterward, stating that the girl was
all right and living in Kingston and
that the pair would return today.
The parents are elated over the good
news and are anxiOusly awaiting
their return.
Profound mystery surrounds the
case. People living hereabouts who
know of Miss Smeads and her par
ents are at a loss to know how she
missed going to the home Of her
aunt, Mrs. Frances Conk, at 454
West Forty-seventh street, New
York, and went to Kingston up in
New York State. Many questions
along that line will be popped at
Miss Smeads upon her return.
