SEARCH IN VAIN
FOR FUGITIVE

Rldgeland, May 4.--Vains Workman
the nine year old son and only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. V. H. Workman of
Pineland, died yesterday morning in
Savannah at hospital after an opera
tion had been performed in vain. Fri
day afternoon the little fellow went
out in his fathers field near his home,
where some negroes were at work,
and negro boy named Sidney Riley
16 years old, is said to have resented
a remark made by him and, becoming
enraged, got heavy pole and struck
Vanis in his side, The boy fell to the
ground and all the negroes in the
field ran away, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that he finally got
home to his mother, his father being
away from home at the time A doctor
was hastily summoned, but it was
realized at once that he had been in
jured internally and the chances for
recovery were very slight.
1t is said that Immediately after
the negro had delivered the blow he
threw the pole down and ran, and as
far as it known has not been seen
since that time.
Searching parties, aided by the sher-
iff of Jasper county with his deputies,
are making determined search for
the negro. The negro relatives state
most positively that they have not
seen him since he struck the lad and
deny any knowledge of his where
abouts.
The negro boy has never before been
away from home any distance, and it
is not thought that he has gone to
any city or nearby town to hide him
self. The general belief is that after
he realized what he had done he wen:
into dense swamp near Mr.. Work
man home or into the Savannah river
swamps, and that he is lost therein.
The officers are taking every steps to
protect the negro if caught

ing the subsequent stir Of getting the
body ready for transportation.
The position of the body bore out
every portion Of Watson's alleged
statements concerning his course after
he had killed the woman. He had
said he wrapped the nude body in
canvas, put it in an automobile at
Santa Monica, adjacent to Los An
geles, and driven over the coast high
way, inland through San Diego Coun-
ty and then carried it in his arms to
spot he could not reach by auto
mobile, where he thrust it into a small
excavation. The discovered facts tai
lied with this story.
The prisoner was the center of at
traction at Ell Centric, Coyote Wells
and here, the only points passed on
the way to the discovery of the body.
At El Centre thousands surged around
the train and the restaurant where
Watson and his keepers had break
last. The man was nervous and
asked the deputies whether there was
danger of violence, but when he was
reassured he talked indifferently on
many topics. /
He objected seriously, however to
the photographers who tried to get
snapshots and negatives of his every
move. He threw his arms before his
face and pleaded with his guards to
stop the photographing. They de-
clined to interfere.
At the grave Watson made a speech
to the crowd before he would go for
ward. He said:
"My friends, have come a long
way to assist the law. l am not we'll,
as you can see, and / wish to request
that l be not worried with questions
or requests for pictures until the body
is uncovered"

SMALL PROFIT MADE
b YMAkERS OF SHOES


washington, May 4.-Replying to
charges that he had made excessive
profits on war contracts. Richard H!
Long, head of the r. H. Long COM
pany, Framingham, Mass. shoe manu-
facturers testified today before a house
war investigating committee that his
company received less than 2 per cent.
profit on contracts aggregating more
than $23,000,OO0.
Mr. Long, who appeared at his own
request to answer previous testimony
before the committee, further de-
clared that his company saved the
government $4,O71 900 through lower
bids for leather and textile supplies.
Figures were presented by him to
show that the company's profits were
94O2,9OO which he said was 81 ,9G5, 700
less than normal 10 per cent. profit.
Our income in 1916 the year before
the war" Mr.. Long asserted, "'was
greater than our annual income from
war contracts in 1917 and 1918. In ad-
dltlon, we lost our regular business
and we still are handicapped by being
tied up with large amount Of war
materials in hand"
Presentation of statistics on the
company's war business was followed
by lengthy questioning of the witness
by Chairman Graham who later asked
that the concerns books for the war
period be furnished the committee. Mr.
Long complied with the chairman's
request

Alleged Victims.

Dixieland, Cal, May 4.-The body
of Miss Nina Lee Deloney was found
by a searching party directed by
Walter Andrew Watson, her alleged
slayer, early today. Watson halted
an ambulance in which he was being
conveyed five miles north of Coyote
Wells.
There's the gulch," he said. AS
sisted by deputy sheriffs, he walked
to a spot near small cliff. "There's
yShe ledge" he added, pointing. Dep
uty sheriffs turned few shovelfuls
of earth and revealed the body.
Nina Lee Deloney was one of the
five wives Watson is said to have con-
fessed to killing. He was brought
here from Los Angeles last night to
lead the searching party to the grave

Eeventy-five automobiles, carrying
nearly 500 people, had made the trip
acros sthe desert from Ell Centre.
Deputy sheriffs with shovels stepped
forward and turned few bits of
earth, while cameras clicked and \the
crowd stood watching.
Then one of the men dropped his
shovel and bent forward. An instant
later the canvass -shrouded form of the
dead woman was taken from the small
grave into which it had been jammed
distorted and almost broken by the
force which had been applied to thrust
it into the grave.
The canvass was opened just enough
to make sure that there was no mis-
take. Then it was allowed to rest
until casket arrived, and the pris-
oner, the body of his victim and their
escort of hundreds started again for
Ell Centre, where an inquest was or

London.-Death has rung down the
curtain on one Of the few romances-
real romances-of the German impe-
rial court.
After but a comparatively brief
spell Of happiness, the death was an.
nounced Of the wife Of ex-Prince Joa-
chin Albrecht Of Prussia, who had
courted Punishment and imperial dis.
favor cheap as compared with the
love Of beautiful actress.
BY all means in his power ex-Em-
peror Wilhelm endeavored to prevent
this love romance Of Prince Joachim,
his cousin. He dismissed him from
the army, banished him from the i'm
perial court, exiled him to German
Southwest Africa, and even married
the lady Of his choice to an Austrian
nobleman, Baron Liebenberg, but
these precautions were all of no avail.
In her girlish days Baroness Lie
benberg was beauty of rare distinc-
ton.
She was born Of humble parentage
In Vienna, her father being a Jewish
school teacher named Sulzer.
She loved music and would wait for
hours to gain entrance to the cheap
seats at the opera.
She was ambitious, too, and during
her girlhood often spoke Of the fame
she would win on the stage. Staid
and stern, her parents frowned on this
wild adventurous talk, but the ardor
Of their beautiful daughter would not
be dampened.
One spring morning Miss Sulzer,
with her savings tied in her handker-
chief, crept from her home and made
her way to the railway station. Her
ticket to Berlin took more than half
her money, but that fact did not de-
press her. She had thrown open the
door Of adventure, and the promise Of
the path was good. She quickly got
an engagement in the chorus Of one
Of the new Berlin operas, and from
that position she climbed rapidly to
the pinnacle Of her profession, event.
ually becoming the leading stage IA
yorite Of the German capital.
It was when Berlin was at her feet
that Prince Joachim saw her and fell
in love, and proposed marriage. The
Kaiser sent for her and explained
how impossible II was for her to mar
ry the son Of the Prince Regent Of
Brunswick.
