Stopping their machine, the motorists
got out and were about to pick up the
torch when they saw the hand of the
girl, foot away from the circle OF
light. Investigation indicated that the
body had been dragged several hundred
feet as though by an automobile.
1t was learned that the girl, with her
brother, Reed, had been living for sew
eral months in an old one-room desert
ed schooihouse. The man, who is not
unknown to the police, is being sought
to-day by local and state officers.

Commenting on the resolution. SEN
ator Moses said:
"The City of New York is the largest
center of production of mems clothing
its output being two-tifths of the en-
tire output of the United States in
that line of industry. Since last De-
cember there has been a strike in this
industry in New York, with the result,
among other things, that the produc-
tion is now only 25 per cent of the
normal. Manifestly this is an essential
element in maintaining the high cost
of clothing and, indeed. the high cost

the mother of his children.
