 from a sand ledge directly above the priests grave.
 It was announced by the police that the tent found in Hightower's room wae full of fine. gritty sand.
 Digging at the grave also revealed additional papers and currency be- longng to the priest. Some of the papers had been pierced by bullets.
 Handwriting Similar
 Police handwriting experts have on the tent with that of the original leter received by Archbishop Edward J. Hanna demanding $6.50o ransom The experts stated there was a simil- artty, especially in several letters
 The pieces of fish cord found near the grave were said by police to be identical to the cord found wrapped around a bomb contrivance taken from Hghtower's room and with which he said he was experimenting.
 Others Being Sought
 Police today continued their search for an unidentified man and two wom- en. Dolly Mason and Doris Shirley. said to have been friends of High tower. Authorities believe these per- sons especially Dolly Mason can throw some light on the mystery. 1t was Dolly Mason, Hightower said, that he received his informatio as to the location of the slain priests grave.
 The unidentified man was believed by the police to be the stranger who 'ured Father Heslin from his home a, Colma on the pretense that a dying man needed his spiritual ministrations

SEEK EQUITABLE
 CUTS AT FACTORY
Stanley Works Systematizes Re
 duCtion Of Wages

The report spreading about the city that another 20 per cent cut would effect factory and office work
 CTS at the Stanley Works was denied today by Walter Hart, an official of the concern. MT. Hart stated that ! it was true there will be reduction but the company has not set any scale nor has it put a percentage mark on the amount of reduction.
 The Stanley Works, as MT. Hart reported, is trying to get back to a normal scale where the working man
 will receive a legitimate wage for what he does. In other words, it is returning to pre-war days when the real worker got paid for his produc- ton and the loafer fell by the way side.
 The company does not propose to change the scale of it's help who have but a few hours of work a week. That means that the people who are working long hours will be affected in proportion to the amount they get over the man who is not f5o fortunate. Thus a man who has over 40 or 50 huors will be reduced small measure while a man who has perhaps 28 to 30 hours will re- main as he is. The man with small hours for working finds it hard enough to get by now, in the opin- ion of MT. Hart, and the company will try to aid him.
 The reason the workers with long hours will be reduced is because they are receiving high wages at the present time and the markets have dropped and dropped, back almost to
 the time of 1913.
 The office force was recently given 9 wage cut on a sliding reduction
 rate of from 10 to 20 per cent. That still stands and it Is not proposed to make any further reductions. The young women, who were receiving
 large salaries during the war, have had several cuts until their wages are back to the old time scale. As MT. Hart explained the matter
 this morning, the company officials are in a quandary as to the best methods of procedure to reduce
 wages to their present scale of busi- ness production without at the same
 time pinching the working man. It it in reality a big problem of read justment and the officers are work ng hard to make the readjustmept satisfactory as we'll as legitima te basis for present day business New reductions in foreman and factory ,ay becomes effective Monday

COMMITTEE ON COMFORT STATION
(Continued from First Page).

$5.o00 before it's capacity had been doubled, and that the cost of main- tenance of the present plant was about $9,000. It was said that the second comfort station just completed 3 at Hartford waa expected to bo self maintaining.
 Doubt was cast on the ability of such 3 building in this city to bring kn much revenue, and the suggestion Twas made that. the estimates submit ted should take little account of money received from privileges grant ed such as a tobacco or shoe-shining stand. Pay boxes in the toilets were admitted to be likely to bring in .n7ome revenue.
 General Facts. While the discussion was fairly general. details of other places of the sort were gone into. It was found that in all proba bility three men and two women will have to be employed the number depending upon the length of time the plice is open daily.
 The small amount of heat that will be required will probably come from City Hall which will be capable of { furnishing it after the needed en- farged boiler is put in place. The ! City hall commission may charge the cost of the heat used to the comfort station.
 Hartford has two such buildings, Springfield has one. Greenfield one, Worcester one, Watc~oury one, Stam- ford one, and Bridgeport one. Some of these are familiar to members of Efhe committee.
 Nr aoiH that "a would forward reports concerning comfort stations already in operation to mem f&bers of the committees. He stated also that practically all large cities had such buildings, or were contem- plating building them.
 A Other Arrangements.
 It was stated by members of the C committee that, as the comfort sta ton might readily be made into a shelter for persons using the trolleys the Connecticut company should pay portion of the cost. It was the ex- pressed belief. however. of members of the committee and the mayor that the company could not pay this ob- -a ligation if it would, and that it had sBeen the policy of the company not Ito even i. it could.
 Chairman Corbin will be absent from the city a portion or next week, and he said he would stop at Prou- dence and inspect the comfort sta- ton there. Secretary Horwitz will take members of the committee. Ol- son. Schaefer and, if possible. Un- kelbach and the mayor to inspect the .buildings at Springfield, Worcester
 nd Greenfield, next Wednesday. Meanwhile the city engineers office will obtain more recent data on ex- pense of maintenances and reveue from Hartford and other places. The mayor remarked that the city was fortunate in having an architect on the committee. relieving it from ex- pense in connection with plans. The meeting adjourned at 930, the members expressing the understand ylng that no definite conclusions had been reached, but that the general discussion had formed a foundation for the more thorough study of the matter.
