MURDER VICTIM
Decomposed Body of Year-Old
Child Gives East Orange
Police Mystery.

Decomposed almost beyond human
recognition, the body of child about
year old, with the skull evidently
crushed, was found in paste-board
box in lot near 1853 Mum avenue
south, East Orange, this morning.
Deep mystery wells the finding of the
skeleton, and Chief of Police W. H.
O'Neill and Detectives David Wendell
and Harry M. Riker are working on
the theory the infant may have been
murdered
1t Is thought the body lay in the lot
for about two months, as a newspaper
published in this city in August was
on the bottom of the box The date
of the publication had been torn OH.
Wrapped around the box was a wom-
ans coat of good material. ehilds
Jacket was about the infants body.
There was nothing on the garments
which could furnish a clue as to
where they were purchased, nor the
Identity of the parents of the young
ster. The police are baffed by the
fact that the body lay in the lot so
long, as the box was only about four
feet away from the sidewalk. Re-
Gently a sidewalk was built only
few feet away from the scene.
Oscar Dodd, a foreman in the East
Orange street department, who was
supervising the work of some laborers
in Mum avenue, near the Vailsburg
line, discovered the box containing the
child's skeleton. He Immediately
communicated with the police. Re-
corder Francis A. Mott, jr., went to
the scene with the police officers and
after seeing the body the magistrate
noticed hole in the skull.
He advanced the theory that the
child had been murdered and tossed
into the lot. The police made in
quiries about the neighborhood, but
obtained nothing definite that could
aid them in solving the mystery
There was but little flesh on the body.

had belonged to the company Jared
: had captaiaed in the war. They
called themselves "The Old Guard
and they set to work to give their
comrade royal good time during his
visit.
81 say" observed Pearsons, one of
the coterie, the second day after the
arrival of Jared, what's the matter
with Ross? He don't act natural"
And then the prevailing gossip was
received-an the story of how the old
couple were "out."
''Why, this is all nonsense" de-
cided Pearsons. Eve must patch up
a peace somehow"
He himself went as committee of
one to spy out the lay of the land at
Millville. He returned to seek out
Jared.
"Old friend" he said. Eve been to
see your wife. Say, she's mourning
for you"
ooh, yes-lots" scoffed Jared.
Ibid she send for me?"
'Why, no! Shed never give up
that strong will of hers to send for
you if you never go back, but she
wants you just the same. See here,
now" .
Drop it," almost snarled Jared.
'T'n show her Pm just as strong
minded as she is. Tomorrow I'm go
ing off to Kansas to see my brother.
May stay there"
Now this alarmed Pearsons. He
foresaw that it would not do at all to
allow little family jar sunder the
pleasant family relations of years.
Once Jared drifted West he might
never come back and thus the home
life and happiness of two really low
ing but perverse souls would be
wrecked.
He held secret conclave of "The
Old Guard" The next night Jared

hay, and they drove him over to Mill
vile. Now something had happened
since the visit of Pearsons to that
same town. 1t was this: The new
house had caught fire and all but one
side was burned up.
Anyhow, the schemers place Jared
within the supporting arms of a big
roomy garden chair facing what was
left of the new house. They left him
to wake up when he would, and
worry his own way out of the i'm
pending tangle.
When with early daylight Jared
opened his eyes, it was to marvel at
his strange situation. Then his
glance became riveted on the new
house.
Burned down! How's this?" he
CALCULATED, and, catching glimpse of
the unframed side of the structure he
fairly glared.
why, it's not white and green at
all. Punkin yaller-I yum" And he
rubbed his head, reflected, was mys-
titled and all at sea, and then reflected
some more.
BLESS me, if l don't believe that
perverse Betty changed her mind,
and painted it my favorite color to
please me! And now it's burned
down. And she's alone at the old
home probably, and-poor old gal!
She's met me morn half way, and
I'm a wicked wretch"
Yes, half an hour later, as Jared
neared the old home there was his
wife straining the milk on the back
porch. He approached rather
shame-facedly.
Betty" he said, you painted
over that white and green to please
me-"
Eyes, did," retorted Betty spicily,
"but l didn't do anything more. So

of the Navy Daniels today ordered
an Investigation of the refusal of
doorkeepers at a Washington
theaters to admit two bluejackets
in uniform last Saturday night.
He directed Solicitor Edgerton of
the navy department, to confer
with the district attorney to de-
termine whether there was basis
for legal action.
Managers of the theater told the
secretary today that no discrima-
ton against sailors or soldiers was
shown at the playhouse. They said
several men of each service were
10 the audience Saturday night.
The doorkeepers believed the two
men refused admission showed
evidence of being under the in
fuence of liquor, they said.
1t is understood that plumber
of witnesses of the incident have
informed the depal tment of their
willingness to vouch for the sailors
sobriety and on this showing
Secretary Daniels determined to
let the investigation proceed.

a game it was going to be! And

There was a meeting that night of

When all three finally met at the
Hargreave home Florence suddenly
took Jones by the shoulders and
kissed him lightly on the cheek.
Jones started back, pale and dis

Norton laughed. He did not feel

ne was eaten up with envy, as the old
wives say.

Il am" This man Jones was de-
veloping into very remarkable char
acter. The reporter found himself
side glancing at the thin, keen face of
this resourceful butler. The lobe of
the mans left ear came within range.
Norton reached for cigarette, but
his hands shook as he lit 1t. There
was a peculiar little scar In the CEN

Conversation dropped entirely after
this declaration.

You are. But an agreement is an
agreement, and while I'd like to print
this story, I'll not. We newspaper
men seldom break our word"
Jones held out his hand.
Sometimes l wish I'd started life

morrow. What with my special ar

year; and I've never been able to save

Perhaps you've never really tried"
replied Jones, with a glance at his
companion. 1t was good face strong
in outline; a little careworn, perhaps,
but free from any indications of dissi-
patton. "If l had begun life as you

those things; but If you had remained

"But the right woman might be
heiress to millions. And poor devil
like me could not marry a girl with
money and hang on to his self.re-

True. But there are always excep.

regarding health. A healthy man is a
normal man, and normal man has
