RELIEF URGED FOR DISABLED
 EX-FICHTERS

NEW YORK, Jan. (by Associated Press ).-Disabled war veterans in Boston, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Balti- more, Milwaukee, Detroit, Columbus, O., San Francisco, Denver, New Or leans and Minneapolis, handicapped for life and unable to more than barely live on the government allowance of $80 a month during their vocational training, have written to the head quarters of the Carry-On Association here requesting the esta ablishment of Carry-On Clubs in the cities named.
 According to the projectors of the association, which provides the wounded soldier with good home. nourishing food, laundry, dental and medical care, transportation and an allowance for clothes, all for S1O a week, a dependent ex-fghter is thus left with money enough to keep up his
 
 amusement beside Since last April, when the first experimental club was opened in New York at Thirty-eighth street and Madison avenue, accommo- dating forty men and ten extra for meals, it's work is said to have shown great possibilities The organization opened another New York club on Christmas day, and the week previ- ously one with a capacity for 150 men was opened in Washington.
 The enterprise is said to have the approval of the American Legion, which is reported to be raising S5O,0O0 in New Orleans for a Carry-On Club there. Denver, with 5000 arrested tubercular cases, is also reported to be preparing for club drive Altogether there are between 230,0O0 and 26O,00O disabled ex-service men in the United States.
 The ''boys" in the Carry-On club houses do much of the housework and enforce their own regulations. A big sunny living room filled with ex-sol- diers, playing, reading and chatting or singing to the accompaniment of a phonograph or piano, is the chief fea- lure of the institution One young ex- fighter said he gained thirty pounds in thirty days as a result of the good food and care he had re- ceived. The first club was formed, it was said, because it was shown by carefully statistics that while an invalid young man might be able to live on SSO month in many parts of the country, it was impossible to do so in large city.

The following August his case was again brought to mind when it was learned that relatives of Kilbourn had caused the body to be exhumed and an autopsy performed. As the result of the autopsy. it was determined, it was claimed, that kil- bourn had fractured skull. 1t was at about this time that rumors of a proceeding to collect insurance were hesx-i. Investi9ators of two different insurance companies appeared in Put nam to learn what facts they could about the death. It was disclosed at that time that there was an abrasion near the bridge of the nose, thought to have been caused by fall against set bowl where Kilbourn went to get a drink of water.
 According to the story told by Land lord Hart, Kilbourn had been at the hotel about four weeks at the time of his death. He had been drinking more or less and was given such care as possible. He apparently had no

Finding a complete set of clothing, except for the little stockings, Of a baby from one and half to two years old. in the woods east of the village of North Grosvenordale, Officer Neri Coderre, Agent John Reardon and Grand Juror Mike Bellerose have secured the woods and the swamp In the vicinity of where the garments were discovered in an attempt to To- cate the body of the child that wore the little dress, undergarments and new shoes.
 As far as can be learned, no child has been missing from the village, but the officer feels that there is possible foul play and that possible murder has been committed.
 The clothing was first discovered by two little boys on Monday. They tell a story of roaming in the woods and

When the money ar rived, Kilbourn had stated, he intend ed to enter St. Vincent's Hospital, Worcester. for treatment. It was stated that the night he died he got out of bed and fell down and was found by an employe of the hotel and put back in bed, and that he got up again few minutes before he died.
 At the time of the inquest in New York state, 1t was intimated that some jewelry KiIbourn had. had not beer, received. This, it proved, had been turned over to the son who came for the body, except diamond ring which the landlord held as security for the board bill. The board was later paid and the landlord returned the ring by express and got receipt for it.
 No request was made of the au- thorities to make an investigation, and the whole matter seemed to be one between the heirs and the insur- ance companies.

seeing a baby lying under pine tree. The child was fully dressed but they think that they saw cut on it's head from which blood was flowing. Hear ing voices in the brush nearby the youngsters became frightened and ran home to tell about their discovery.
 Officer Coderre and others went to the place, accompanied by the iads' who pointed out the spot It was un- der tall pine tree in a clearing and here the officer found complete set of boby clothes except for the stock ings. The little shoes were almost new, and there was hardly scratch on them. The only thing to complete the baby wardrobe was the little stock. ings. The boys assured the ofiicer that when they saw the child lying there it was fully dressed. They say that they particularly noticed the

stockings and they were full of holes.
 The fact that no child is missing adds to the mystery. The search ev- cry day since the find has revealed nothing. The swamp nearby would be an easy place to dispose of the body and if so disposed of it would be hard to find.
 A few people in the village are skeptical as to the find and believe the clothing came from large doll, as little boys and girls often play near where the clothing was found. Off, cer Coderre, however, does not take any stock in such solution. He says that the shoes are size two, or possi- bly three, and does not believe they came from anything except human body. The boys also are sure that the child they saw was real live baby.
