The police were looking for a report from the Providence authorities on the alleged confession, made first about two weeks ago..
 Glennoris persists in his tale, saying that he was informed by the men who hired him that the girl was Dorothy Arnold. He said that he recognized her features afterwards from pictures printed in the newspapers.
 Early in 1911, while the police were still de1ving into the mystery of Miss Arnold's disappearance, GIennoris said he was asked to take in hand a "cinch" job by Little Louis'' Benoit, met a rich young fe1Iow'' and went with them and the girl, who was uncon- scious, from a house in New Rochelle.
 Reaching 8 house at a fork in a road near West Point they carried the girl inside, laid her on a couch and left her in the cape of the wealthy man. With them was another man called "Doc.' He returned to New York with Benoit and Glennoris.
 The next day, the prisoner said, Little Louis'' came to him and said the girl had died. He was persuaded to accompany him to West Point to bury the body. There in the same house he found that a man named fDeponce' had started the grave by of the cellar. They brought the girls body wrapped in 8 sheet, to the cellar, where they dug the grave and buried her. New concrete flooring was made to hide their work.
 G1ennoris said he received in all about $25O, the last instalment being given to him by the "rich young fe1- 1ow,' whom he met in 1913 in a caba- ret on Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn.
 Inspector Cray of the Detective Bu- reau has verified G1ennoris' state ments so far as, they refer to his haunts and acquaintances in New York. He learned that, as the pris- oner said, he was to be found fre- quent1y in saloons on Seventh avenue near Twenty-hfth and Twenty-sixth streets and that he was acquainted with a girl named "Flo,' who, the convict declared, had informed him that her friend, Benoit, wanted to see him about the "cinch'' job.
 But nothing, so far as the police of New York have been told, has been divulged that would tend to show that the girl buried, if such thing occur red. was actually Dorothy Arnold.

AROUND BIG FIRE.

"Shipwrecked, or Ten Hours in a
Swamp" should be an excellent title
for rafting good story based on the
experiences of nine Hattiesburg
youths yesterday afternoon, last night,
and early this morning, when they
became lost in The swamps of Leaf
River, gave up in despair and went
into camp.
The youngsters were located by
their parents early this morning, a
couple of miles from Hattiesburg, near
the river bank. They had built them
selves a fire with their last two
matches and had thrown themselves
on the ground to sleep until daylight
came, when they intended again to
try to locate themselves.
The nine lads, among whom were
Albert and Harry Causey, Jeptha and
James Pickett Hilton Dickerson,
Hugh Clark, Henry Clark, Edmund
Clark, and another boy, went tramp
ing down the river early yesterday
afternoon. Four miles below Hat
tiesburg they found an old boat in the
river. The boat was partly filed with
water. but this was bailed out One
by one, the boys were carried over
on the other side of the stream and
left, as the boat would be returned to
this side for another one.
Edmund Clark was the skipper of
the boat He had carried seven OF
the youngsters across the river, anl
had returned for the eighth, when the
vessel sprang a leak, and it was found
that it would be impossible to make
another trip. There they were-seven
on the other side of the river, and two
on this, with a vast expanse of water
them.

Special to The NcWs.
Jackson, Miss. Feb 21.-The Mis-
sissippi Legislature is confronted with
Ia deal of work this week. Many bills
of Importance are scheduled TO come
up fer final action. and either will be-
come the laws of the state, or will be
marked defeated" and stored away
in the capitol's graveyard, where hun
dreds of thousands of other similar
measures lie buried
1t is certain, however, that the
House will not have more than three
afternoon sessions this week-Mon-
day, Wednesday and Friday. The rea-
son for this is that when the House
holds afternoon sessions, the commit
tees are unable to do much work. and
bills pile up in the committee rooms
The Judiciary committee now has a
large number of pending measures to
consider and are working overtime in
an effort to report them all.
The Appropriation and Ways and
Means committee have a great deal to
do and it will probably be some days
before these two committees are

through with the floor.
Some days ago resolution was in
troduced to incorporate into the con-
stitution the amendment providing
that nine jurors may return a verdict
in civil cases. Just what has been

tain. At any rate good many are in
terested in its passage and it is un-
derstood an effort will be made in the
next few days to get it up for con-
