back on the finger of Mrs. Brooke and
beat her on the back, presumably with
a stick. Cavey said that Mrs. Brooke
Addie Smith, and that Miss Smith saw
the welts ON the woman's back.
Early last Sunday morning, about
2 o'clock, in accordance with threats
contained in one of the notes, Mrs.
Brooke was to have been tied, hands
and feet. and bound to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad tracks. About this
time of the night. Cavey said. some
persons actually did come to the
Brooke home, tied the blind woman s
hands with a cope, dragged her a
short distance away to where an
automobile stood with stopped en-
gine, started to put her in the tom
neau of the machine. but, changing
their minds. tied her to the rear of
the car. When the binding had been
completed a milk wagon driver was
heard approaching. and one of the
men said, 'Cut her loose. quick"
Another male voice rejoined, I'm
not going to leave without doing
something to her

This second man then set fire to the
ropes holding Mrs. Brooke's wrists,
and when the bonds had been burned
through she was allowed to find her
way back to her house.
|Cavey asserted that he went to Mrs.
Brooke's home last Sunday, following
the early morning attack, and was
told the above details by the injured
woman.
On being questioned regarding his
relations with Mrs. Brooke, Cavey
admitted having written letters to
her, having talked with her over the
phone a number of times. and hav-
ing met her in Baltimore on the oc-
casion of her visits to Johns Hopkins
Hospital, where she was undergoing
treatment.

The whereabouts of Hildred voth, the
3 months old baby who disappeared
from In front of u five and ten cent

afternoon, Is still unknown to the police,
Detectives believe that the woman who
said to Mrs. Voth is it good babyf'

the one who did the kidnapping. They
believe she wheeled the carriage away.
abandoned it later and fled with the
child.
Detectives of the West 123d street. sta
tion yesterday made a house to house
canvass of the vicinity where the aban-
doned carriage was found early Thurs
day morning. The search extended
north and south along Madison avenue
and east and west on a 09th street. Store
keepers, tenants and passersby through
out the neighborhood were questioned
on all phases of the case, particularly
with regard as to whether any one
was seen to pass with the carriage
soon after the time of the baby's dis
appearance. Mrs. Voth accompanied the
detectives. stopping every erambulator
and entering every apartment house
in the hope of finding her baby.
With the finding and Identification Of
the Voth baby carriage, which was
aboadoned in front of a store at 635
Madison avenue, detectives hoped to get
an important clew to the kidnaper from
the finger prints on the handle. An
attempt was made to get photo
graph OF the finger prints. but micro
scopic examination revealed so many
marks on the handle of the carriage
that the attempt was abandoned.
Pictures Of little Mildred and a de-
scription of her clothing were flashed
upon the screen of a dozen moving pic
ture houses in Harlem last night.
Suspicion was aroused in the minds Of
women who were accosted yesterday by
young woman Offering to sell baby
carriage that the young woman might
be implicated in the Voth case, and a
cry of "kidnaper" went up. Patrolman
James Peavey of the East 126th street
station arrested the girl at Lexington
avenue and 123d street. She said she
was Freda Ackert. "a OF 339 st. Ann )
avenue. The Bronx. She could not ex-
plain where she got the carriage which
she offered to sell. AS the crowd of men,
women and children gathered arouna
she rushed into a six story building and
up the stairway to the roof. with Pa
trolman Peavy close behind.
I'm throw myself into the street IL
you touch me-" she screamed at the Of
flcer After temporizing for few min
utes he was able to take her and the
buggy to the police station. She was
arraigned before Magistrate Charles A.
Oberwager in Harlem court on charge
or larceny, and admitted that she had
taken the carriage the night before from
116th street and Lexington avenue. She
was held in bail of $1,000 and her hear
ing set for Tuesday. The police are
seeking the owner OF the carriage.

CHIEF DISPATCHERS AS
OFFICIALS AT ISSUE
Not Subject to Rail Boards
Rules, Roads Contend.

CHICAGO, Sept. 90 ASSOCIATED Press).
Arguments on whether chief train
dispatchers are officials or subordinate
officials. to determine their right to in
clusion in wage and rules agreements
between carriers and the American
Train Dispatchers' Association, occupied
the attention OF the railroad labor
board to-day.
An representatives Of the railroads
before the board opposed the demands
of the dispatchers' organization for two
weeks vacation a year with pay and the
classification of chief dispatchers as
subordinate officials. The terms of the
transportation act cover subordinate of
ficials, but not officials.
"Chief train dspatchers," said Will
lam Jeffers, general manager of the
Union Pacific, ARE the keystones of all
railroads. The entire system of opera
tion is built around them. Efficient
transportation necessarily depends upon
them. A chief dispatcher cannot be
given one day of rest a week. because
il that Is done the whole system of ef-
fcient operation Is destroyed"

the right temple region above the ear
and just back of the temple. That bull
let went completely through the head
and was found between the skull and the
scalp, having passed through the skull
twice.
The skull was fractured, probably by
the first bullet that struck. Any OF the
three wounds would have been sufficient
to cause death, 1t was stated.
A fourth wound was found upon the
upper lip which had the appearance of
having been made by a spent bullet.
which did not strike with sufficient
force to break the teeth under the lip.
Various theories have been advanced re-
garding the probability of that missile
having passed through the head OF the
Woman's companion before II struck her
The wound upon the throat was de-
scribed as necklace" wound, and had
the appearance of having been made by
knife in stroke of downward trend
which encircled the throat at the base
fof the neck. The slash severed the jugu-
lar vein. the carotoid arteries and the
esophagus. 1t was established that Mrs.
Mills was not pregnant.
Inc autopsy not only settled the diff
Ierences in the reports of DIR. Long and
Dr. Cronk but settled many rumors.
DR.. Cronk was definite in his state
ment that there were three bullet
wounds in the woman's head. while
DR.. Long contended that there were
not, more than two, or possibly only
one. DR.. Long also was of the opinion
that the wman's throat had not been
cut, while DR.. Cronk was quite posi-
tive that it had been cut. Nor were
any broken bones found according to
Mr Beekman, although he did find
some scratches and abrasions on one
arm.
The fact that Mrs Mills's throat was
cut, taken in conjunction with the lack
of bloodstains on her clothing, except
on the shoulder upon which she lay,
tends to strengthen a favorite popular
theory that the couple were murdered
somewhere else than the place at which
their bodies were found and that the
clothes In which they were found were
not the ones in which they were dressed
when killed. Proponents of this theory
point also to the fact that DR.. Halls
coat was slit up the back. which they
contend probably occurred when his
body was lifted by other persons.

CATHOLIC LAWYERS ARE
ADVISED ON DIVORCE
Asked to Compose Difference
Befween Faith and Practice.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.--Adoption OF
resolutions setting forth the views OF
the organization on current problems
and the election of officers, at which
Rear Admiral w. $. Benson, retired
was chosen to succeed himself as presi-
dent, marked to-days sessions of the
annual convention OF the National
Council OF Catholic men.
Among the resolutions adopted was
che recommendation by the council that
Catholic members of the legal profess
sion compose the difference between
faith and practice on the divorce ques-
tion and champion personally and pro-
fessionally the churchs teaching on
divorce.
The resolution asserted that "fre.
quently the indiscriminatc acceptance
of any and every kind or divorce case
furnishes a scandalous illustration OF
the difference between faith and prac-
tice," and the professl,r was urged to
make the terms synonomous for the
promotion Of public morality.
