New York, July New Workers will

Boldt, one of the prettiest suffragette5
in the city, will walk from her hom2

wearing her new trousers. Mrs. BoI1t
was one of the little hand of mixers,
which, under the leadership of Miss
Resale Jones, marched from New York
to Washington last March. She long
has been an ardent advocate of what
she terms sensible dress reform" AL
has designed the new style of troua-
ers to meet the demands of the nix
ing suffragettes. At her apartments
today Mrs. Boldt criticised the women
who are always talking dress reform.
but who lack courage to wear the
sensible clothing they advocate"

THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF
Land ARE APPROVED
For Purchase By the Forest
Reservation Commission

Washington, July 2.-Nearly 5000
acres OF land at the headwaters of the
James and Shenandoah rivers We're
approved for purchase yesterday by
the national forest reservation commits
soin. The commission also approved
1920 acres near the famous Virginia
Natural Bridge, 10437 acres in the
White Top Mountain region, near the
junction of Virginia; North Carolina
and Tennessee, and 20,5S7 acres at TIE
head of the Monongahela river up
on the Ohio watershed.
The four areas approved made up
the largest set of purchases passed
upon at any one time by the commits
sion. They aggregate 113,909 acre..
and bring the total of al the national
forests in the East up to 713,415 acres.
The White Top area consists of six
tracts aggregating 10,437 acres, and
affects the watershed of the Holston
river, which in turn flows into the
Tennessee.
The Natural Bridge area involves
three tracts, the largest containing
2,676 acres. This is well-timbered AMI
close to the Glenwood estate already
acquired. The highest price paid is
750 an acre, with an average Of
1854.
Forest protection on the James and
Shenandoah watersheds, according to
the experts, may be expected to bene-
fit the navigability of the Potomac AMI
James rivers. Six tracts aggregating
79,464 acres, are recommended for
purchase, the first to be acquired in
this area. The lands are in part CIT
over, in part so badly burned that
they have borne no merchantable tim
Der within the past generation, and in
part covered by timber of commercial
value. Prices in the Shenandoah area
vary from SO to 81 an acre, an aver
age of S3.01.

FEAR GIRL HAS
Been LURED AWAY
By HaIf.Brped Indians Tales
of Adventure

Glassboro, n. j., July 2.-The call Af
the wild and desire to be an Indian
L incess are believed to be responsible
Tor the disappearance of Tilda Peter
sen, the 12-year-old daughter of Au-
kUstus Petersen, farm hand living AT
Monroeville, a few mi es below this
| I ace, on the Bridgeton branch of the
West Jersey & Seashore railroad. The
cnild vanished a week ago tonight, 81
simultaneously with two half-breed In
dians. None of them has since been
seen, although a search for them has
neen instituted by the Salem county
al horities.
Tilda's mother be 'ieves that the little
e,I has been kidnapped by the elder OF
the hs'f breeds. Jere Cooper, AZ years
old. v no is said to have at one time
aeon employed at the Carlisle Indian
school, but who for two years has been
working at odd jobs for farmers in this
region. Of late he and his half-brothe' :,
Wi liam, IS years old, made their
abode with the Petersens. Jere became
noticeable attentive to the child and
won her interest and friendship by
telling her Indian stories at nights.
His tales of adventure and freedom in
the woods were especially alluring tn
the child, who was growing up fas
and who chafed under home disciplin >.

mother at Woodbne a few weeks ag,.
companionship with the Petersen chill.
He rugged up a wooden seat to fit his
bicycle and sometimes took her riding
with him. The pair started out on Que
of these rides a week ago last night
and have not been heard from since.
They are believed to have been ac-
companied by William, as Petersen
and neighbors followed tracks of tw
! ticyc eS for a considerable distance
a ong the main turnpike running down
into Cumberland county.
The belief prevails here that the
girl and her abductors have lost them
selves in the stretch of pine forests
and swamps which begin a few miles
below Monroeville. There they woull
be abe to hide for months without
fear of discovery and would find plen-
ty of berries and wild game to subsist
upon.
Tilda is said by her mother to have
been of a romantic disposition AMI
rather mature for her age. She at
tended the high school at Clayton this
year and was also member of a Sun
day school at that place. Her mother
says thai some of her clothes were
taken away, as was also small Bible

BOWIE WOULD TAKE
MATTER TO COURT
Favors Carrying Out Dill
Ions Suggestion About
Auditorium Bond Issue

Sydney J. Bowie believes that steps
should be taken to carry out Judge John
f. Dillon's suggestion in regard to the
$4,000 bond issue for a Peoples audi
torium recently voted in Birmingham Mr.
Bowie holds that the issue is lawful and
has given an opinion to that effect. The
only thing to do now, he says, is to get
the matter to the supreme court as quick
ly as possible.
Il am in favor of carrying out Judge
Dillon's suggestion, said Mr.. Bowie last
night. II believe that the issue is lawful
and have rendered such an opinion. On
test suit by agreement the case could
be brought before the supreme court In
very short time and the uncertainty
would be removed
Il think the city as custodian of the
peoples interests should take the initia-
tive, but If they should not wish to do
this I have no doubt but that the audi
torium committee of the Chamber of
Commerce would take the matter in
shand. The matter could be started by
having a private Individual sue the city
in an attempt to force the issuance of
bonds.
But the principal thing is to get the
matter before the supreme court as quick
~ as possible"
