Colored Voters
 Back Democrats

To demonstrate the point that this year many citizens who nave usual ly voted a straight Republican ticket are now out working for the Demo- fact that although the colored vo- ters of the city have almost always been among the most ardent support CTS of Repubiicanis1n, this fall an or ganization of colored men and women, known as the Citizens and Voters League, are planning a very active campaign to aid in the election of Atwater and the rest of his ticket.
 The League has given out the fol- lowing statement of their position:
 ''In view of the fact that the pres- ent administration has seen fit to ig- nore the civil rights of the citizens since its inception in office. this or ganization can not see it's way clear that repudiates the rights of the peo- pie. and urges all of it's members to take the same position"
 Headquarters have been opened at the Prevalent Hotel. 470 Broad street. J. A. Dickson is secretary Of the so- ciety. The big feature of the cam paign of the colored voters will be the monster meeting to be held at Fra ternity Hall the night of November 1.

Frank Wheaton. an assistant district attorney from that city, and Captain Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall, a war veteran with seventeen months service record who has just returned from French hospitals.

Identity Of
 Murdered Cirl
 Still Unknown

New York, Oct. 29-Detectives to- day were trying to determine which of two young runaway wives 1t was if either-whose dismembered body was found a week ago in a pond at Long Island City.
 This dilemma was brought about by claims of two sets of relatives, one of which firmly declared the mutt lated body was that of Mrs. Mary Agnes Wagstaff, while the other. with equal f1rmness maintained it was that of Mrs. Dolly Bailey Higgins.
 The story leading up to the young woman's death was the same in either case. Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. Wagstaff both had quit their hus- bands. Both had been met by chance and importuned to return home. Both had refused. And both had been re- ported later in the company of an- other man.
 Arnold A. Wagstaff, husband of one of the missing wives, identified the body last night as that of his wife. He was accompanied by four friends who also identified it as that of Mrs. Wagstaff and the police are inclined to accept this identification.
 Mrs. Anna Bailey, mother of the missing Mrs. Higgins continues to insist, however, that the body is that of her daughter, although Thomas Higgins, husband of Mrs. Higgins, said the body was net that of his wife.
