Harnmonton. n. j., Oct. A.-Detec-
tives attempting to solve the disap-
pearance of Billy Dansey were search
ing today for a woman-for the first
time since the boys abduction a
woman had been definitely connected
with the case.
This development was the result Of
a letter. written in a woman's hand
writing and made public by John ID.
Wilson. chief of county detectives.
Its author declared the baby had
been kidnapped by mistake. When
the boy was taken. the letter said, 1t
was believed he was Charley White.

The actual trail of the boy has been
traced only as far as a cranberry

Charleston, S. C.. Chosen
As Site for Refinery,
Says Holland.

When the directors of the Clinch-
ield Railroad line began preparations
'or the construction Of a railroad to
be chiefly employed in transporting
coal from the Clichneld district to the
seaports. they wondered for a time
whether the tide-water terminal
should be established at Wilmington.
Y. &C.. or Charleston. s. c.
The company looked for a very
!arge export trade. especially with
NJ West Indies and South America.
After careful investigation. Charles
kon, S. c.. was selected. The Clinch-
Geld railroad made connections at
Spartanburg with a railroad line that
run into Charleston.
The Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey is about to establish q
great refinery near Charleston. in
fact within the city limits. The
company has secured about 130
acres of land heretofore deemed al
most worthless. which has a 'front.'
age upon the Cooper River. 1t is
so situated that easy connections
can be made with Southern and the
other railroads.
Within a little while Charleston
will take relative rank with other
Southern cities which have been
within the past ten or fifteen years
developing comparatively as great
ly as any other city in the United
States.
1t has become an important rail-
road terminal with large plants for
the handling OF coal for export.
Speedily 1t will become one of the
large refining centers Of the United
States. Apparently the Standard Oil
Company expects to import from
Mexico large amounts of crude oil
teSbe refined at Charleston. From
thf5 Mexican crude oil in addition
t0 other products asphalt can be
anufactured. From this refinery
VIII go forth products such as
gasoline and refined oil. which it is
expected will be manufactured in
sufficient amount to meet the de-
mands that come from North Caro-
lima and all OF South Carolina.
