RUTH CRUGER FOUND
Mystery of Four Months Solved
When Corpse Is Found

NEW YORK, June l7-After more
than four months the mystery of the
disappearance of pretty Ruth Cruger
was solved yesterday when her body
was unearthed in the cellar of the
house OF Alfredo Cocchi, who disap.
peared few days after the girl when
the police first questioned him as to his
knowledge of her whereabouts. Since
that time the police had been unable
to secure any trace of either of them
and for a time the theory was enter.
tanned that he might have sent the girl
away and later followed her. The girl =
body had been bound with ropes and
wcdg under a furnace and the en-.
trance to the hole filed in with earth.
Ruth Cruger was a charming girl OF
well-tO-do parents. She disappeared
one day and was traced to the shoe
shop of Cocchi. One witness before
the police told of seeing her leave the
shop and enter an automobile with O
tall rk.haired man, and for days
the police sought vainly for a person
answering the description. Severa
suspects were taken, but in every in
stance an abb was proved.
The girl father, when the alarm wal
sent out, offered a reward of $4,000
for information that would lead to he
recovery and the police of all the larg'
cities of East worked on the case
Cocchi was questioned and told stor,
80 straight forward as TO disarm sus
picion but within two days suspicion
was again directed toward him by hi
disappearance. So far as was know
the girl had had no love affair ant
there was nothing that would give tn
police a clue rs to any reasons TO
leaving home. The conviction that sh
had met with foul play grew stronge
and is proved by the finding of tn
body.

This work marks the beginning of the

details will prove valuable aids as in
structOrs to the men who have never
had any experience shooting at a

an end yesterday, and there is proba,
bility that ten per centyof the original
men who started In tA Swork will not
be on hand to enteT Into the SECOND
period of instruction OWING to resigna

This is considered an excellent showing
for the reason that the aspirants fol
commissions are men 10 whom theiI
present work has been entirely foreign
and speaks well, not only as to theil
adaptability to new and unusual condi
tions, but for their fine physical stand

According to the latest report thu
men who are to specialize in the artil
lery branch of the service during thu
second period of training will be KEEP
at the Preside. The first orders re
leeived were to the effect that the mel
assigned to the field artillery would b.
taken to Fort Douglas, Arizona.
Preference blanks which the mel
signed last week to signify thei
choices of branches of the service ar
being checked of by officers in charg
of the camp. The men will he divided
into nine companies of infantry, tire

The men have been particularly for

Whether such an eventuality would

they did not care to prophesy, but it
would manifestly make Hollands po-

her more than ever dependent on the
Central powers, to whom she would

Former Ruler of Russia and Family

Grafton Being Feared.

Petrograd, Aug. 1.-THE SENT
official Russian. news agency has an
-nounced that former Emperor Nicho-
las and his family we're removed from
the palace at Tsarkoe-Selo and that it
was reported they were being trans
ported to Tobolsk, Siberia.
Tobolsk is an out of the way town Of
western Siberia, far from the railroad
and visited only by steamers which
ply the Irtysh river. In former times
it was an administrative center for
exiles banished to Siberia by the Rus
sian rulers. The climate is extremely
severe in. winter.
Feared Liberation.
The semi-official news agency says
the demands for Nicholas transfer
were due to fears of the authorities
that attempts would be made to liber-
ate him in connection with counter
revolutionary movement. A prevalent
theory is that the discovery of the
letter of General Gurko, former COM
mander of the Southwestern front, ex-
pressed loyalty to the former emperor
and that plots to effect the escape OF
Nicholas caused the council of deputies
to demand his removal to safer
place. ... -...
