BODY FOUND: MAN IS
 UNDER ARREST
Two Bullets Found to Have Passed Through Body
 Heart and Head.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. IL. ---The body of Father Heslin, Cath ollie priest of Coloma, who disap- peared on August 2, presumably while answering a sick call, was found this afternoon buried at the bottom of Sand Cliff twenty miles odt from here.
 William Hightower, who discov- cred the grave, is held by the police pending an investigation.
 The body had bullet through the heart and another through the head.
 A search of Hightower's room re- vealed rife, pieces of blood-stained burlap and newspaper clippings showing the amount of the reward offered for the priests return.
 Rewards totaling $8,000 have been offered for any information re- garding the priest or his return.
 Late yesterday the police received important clue and which might yet lead to conviction.
 The police received a letter say ing that "$15,00 was wanted by me I need the money. You will hear from me later. You will know am the right man for I will have a sheet of paper similar to the one this is written upon."
 Airplanes were used last week by the San Francisco police in the search of the missing priest. Yester- day the police announced that they were baffled, all clues having been run down without results and the mystery had simply come to a wait ing game.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Recent ac- tion of approximately 10000 em ployes of the lnterborough and Brooklyn Rapid Transit Companies in voluntarily accepting wage reduc' tions of 10 per cent will save these systems nearly $5,OO0,O00 in annual operating expenses.
 The workers of these two great transportation systems, which cover Greater New York, are organized un- der "Employes' representation" plans.
 The Interborough workers are unit ed in the Brotherhood of Interbor- ough Rapid Transit Employees, which has been in existence nearly five years. They accepted the wage cut by a vote of 8.341 to 5.130.
 The employees of the Brooklyn sys- tenn accepted the decrease through a committee elected under a repre- sentation plan adopted last fall.
 The Iltcr borough Brotherhood or ganization was approved by the em- lloyes in August, 1916. by vote of ?,S00 to 1900. It has a membership today of more than 15.000.
