CRANE co. DISTRIBUTES S10O, ,0O0 TO HELP IN
 THEIR LOCAL PLANTS
Second Distribution Which To- cal Workers Have Receiv-
 cd From Company.


 In the weekly pay envelope last night each employe Of the Crane Valve Go received an announcement that a sum amounting to five per cent. of his wages for ts.e year, had been placed to his credit in a local bank. The money can be left there or drawn out and used irnnedtate1y by the eIn- ploye. It is estimated that the conn pany has thus distributed $100. .o0O in bonuses in this city. Each person who has been in the employ of the com pany one year or more received this bonus. The employees of the offices, foun- dries and other departments of the big concern. were all given bank books and advised to leave their bo- nus in the bank as the beginning of a savings bank account. The employees who received the bonus last year and allowed it to remain in the savings banks. had this yeax,s bonus added to their. accounts.
 This profit sharing plan with ern- p1oyes was originated at the Crane shops in Chicago years ago and has been continued as fast as the conn., pany acquired new plants It is given to instiM savings habits in the ern- ployes of the concern and also to show appreciation by the company of the industry of it's employees.

DOCTORS BELIEVE BRIDE TO-BE WAS
 KILLED BY THUGS
Girl Carrying Trousseau Is Thought to Have Been At tackled and Thrown on Tracks.

New York, Jan. 3-Killed on her way home from Manhattan whither she had gone to purchase part of her trousseau, 1t is believed today that Miss Olga Garetslxi, the young daugh- ter of John G. Garetski, a wealthy hotel keeper in East WiIIiston, T.. l.. was murdered and her body placed on a trolley track near her home. so thai it might be n1angled by. a trolley car and the crime concealed. .s Coroner Frank Seaman, of Nassau County, has started thorough in yestigatiOn. He said today that 1t was possi b1e that she had been attacked physicians called by the Coroner said that, basing their opinion on their first examination that it was possible Miss Garetski had been attacked.
 The preliminary Investigation into her death, however, leaves it still surrounded in mystery. It was first be- lieved that she had been struck by an automobile and left in the road, but the belief that she was murdered is held by many.
 Miss Garetslxi was twenty years old and attractive in appearance. She was to have been married next We'd nesday evening. Friday afternoon she came to Manhattan-4 -4nbuy some lin gerie needed to complete her trous7 seau
 . The theory that Miss Garetski was the. victim of highwaynen is support ed by stories told by servants in the country home of E. T. Gushing, which stands far back from the road, but opposite the point between Mineola and searingtown, where the body was found.
 The butler and several other ser wants say they heard a woman's cry for help They ran toward the road, from whence they heard the cries, just as trolley car approached. The car suddenly stopped, as John Kelly, the m lot ornan saw a. wonnan's body lying on the rails. With the aid of the servants he placed the body on his car and drove at full speed to MineoIa. When first found slight signs of life still showed.

WALL ST. MARKET CLOSING IS HEAVY.
 MONEY IS TIGHT

2 v 3
 New York, Jan. 3-Opening-After a dull and uncertaini opening today, the market dipped downward sharply in response to sudden influx of sell ing orders which embraced virtually the. whole active list Opening quo ta tions showed no changes of signi1- canoe and the sudden shift puzzled traders.
 Reading, which bore the brunt Of the selling, dropped two points. Losses of point or more were soon shown in Union Pacific. New York Central, Lehigh Valley, Canadian Pacific. Steel and Amalgamated. Active selling was not long continued, however, and the market grew quieter .at the lower level.
 CIose-The market closed steady Heavy selling of the leading stocks, which depressed the market abruptly after a quiet opening, could be traced to no specific influence and was ap- parent1y of professional origin. Sue. in the market leaders induced the bears to widen their activities and some inactive shares fell sharply. Further liquidation of Rock Island collateral bonds and increase in blasf- ness failures of the week continued tightness of money and important additions to the large number of un- favorable railroad reports all fufluenc- ed the market adversely. The tone improved toward the close, however and partial recoveries were affected Bonds were heavy.

 SEABRIGHT REPAIRS

Sea Bright. N. J., Jan. 3-AlI the repair work which followed the de yastation wrought by the storm of December 26 was wiped out early to- day by high tide forced far inland by an east wind. More damage is ex- pected at high tide at noon, when it is feared that, the tide will sweep across the town to the Shrewsbury River. All the new bulkheads have been swept away and the fishing dis tricts was inundated.
 Many houses there not damaged by the earlier storm were overturned to- day. The repairs to the Octagon Ho- tel were demolished and the dining room practically torn from the main structure.
