ber. the November quota Of Italian i'm

after midnight yesterday morning, her
commander hoping that the sos italian

rnent as the Conte Rossc.

his pilot. A. S. Roche, who made affi-
davit TO that effect. The skipper of the
rival ship declared that the telegraph
observer at Quarantine had said the
Verdi led by a fraction of minute.
Ellis Island decided to call the race a
dead heat, and as the combined immi-
grants of the racers exceeded the total
quota for December the immigration SER
vice referees said they would allow the
Conte Rosso to land sos and the Verdi

that after allowances for certain exemp-
tions and children under 16 and the
debarring of undesirables the rest of the
immigrants might be landed within a
week.

and Christine and Mrs. Kingley spent
Thursday evening with the latter's
brother-in-law. William Kingley, and
wife in East Rutherford.
About 80 o'clock Christine, without
waiting for her half sister. started for
her home in Wellington, which adjoins
East Rutherford. Mrs. Kingley missed
her when she got home. but did not
suspect that she had met with foul
play and IL was not until late yester-
day afternoon that Mrs. Kingley learned
that the girl had been murdered. She
asked the Wellington police to make a
search for her and when she showed
them a photograph of her half sister
they identified it as that OF the body
found by the workman.
The Bergen county authorities worked
all day on the case, but were mot able
to find a clue. They think the young
woman was seized as she was walk

assailant dragged her into the wooded
section and attacked her. The mother

julius Roehrs went out and looked
around, but he saw nothing and con-
cluded that his mother had heard the
cries of baby.
Miss Horvish was not shot Besides
the broken neck and jaw, her only
wounds were scratches on her face

was choked to death by her assailant
in his efforts to prevent her from

broken at the same time.

to have been acquainted with Miss
