STILETTO BY GIRLS
BODY Is SOLE CLEW
Friends and Fingerprints Fail
in Solving Tarrytown
Murder.

Photograp phs and fingerprints of the
young Italian woman whose mutilated
body was found in a blind street of
North Tarrytown. not far from the John
d. Rockefeller estate. were sent yester-
day to every police department in the
metropolitan district in the hope they
might aid in identifying the victim.
Failure of any friends of Mary Venza,
who formerly lived in 60 Spring street,
and whose name was affixed to a let
ter found in the dead girls handbag, to
come forward and make an identified
ton led Tarrytown police to believe she
may be an entirely different person.
The broken stietto blade found near
the body Is now considered the most
important cew.
Daniel j. Murphy, Chief of Police of
North Tarrytown, came to New York
city and had a talk with Capt. Arthur
Carey, head of the Homicide Squad.
The records of missing girls in Police
Headquarters was gone over. but no one
similar in description to the murder
victim was found to be missing. The
fingerprints were submitted to experts
and were found to be dissimilar to any
on file.
a Mrs. Dillender OF 3o6 South Penn
street. Philadelphia. sent to Chief Muir
ply by special delivery photograph
- fher daughter. who. she said. disap-
peared last sunday 1t was found not
to be unlike the features of the dead
woman. If nobody appears TO make an
Identification to-day the Tarrytown po-
lice probably will ask Mrs. Dillender to
view the body in the morgue in North
Tarrytown.
Inquiries at the Spring street address
where Mary Venza formerly lived eic-
tied the information that she disap-
peared about two weeks ago and that
quantity of women's wearing apparel
disappeared simultaneously. A young
woman who had roomed with Mary was
requested to go to Tarrytown and view
the murder victims body but she had
not done so up. to a late hour last
night.
Coroner Fitzgerald declared untrue A
report that vendetta cross had been
cut on the dead woman's face. He re-
FUSED again to make public the contents
OF the letter found in the bag, but dis
counted its Importance.
An autopsy performed Yesterday
ialied TO develop any further facts in
connection with the death. The police

ans throat was slashed with the sti-

LACK CARE
LEGION MAN INSISTS
Col. Wickersham Tells Mr..
Siegel Hospitals Are Not
of Right Kind.

Col Cornelius w. Wickersham, chair
American Legion, Department of New
York, replied yesterday to comments of
Representative Isaac Siegel on the thou
sands of letters received recently by
hospital care for ex-service men in New
York. Representative Segel had said
there was mo foundation for criticism
or protest." but that there are SIS va
cant beds in Government hospitals in
the city.
Col. Wickersham asserted there may
be vacant beds but that proper accom-
modations are lacking for cases of tu-
berculosis and mental disorder, which
he says constitute two-thirds OF those
requiring or receiving hospital care. He
added:
"The number of these cases is grow
ing. They constitute more than 10000
of the $4,000 veterans in hospitals in
the United States The Government
cannot care for them, because the new
tubercular and mental hospitals planned
by the White committee of the Treasury
Department have not yet been built. and
indeed the appropriation in the proposed
Langley bill to complete the program
has not yet been made. These cases
are. therefore, to-day farmed out to
State. county or private institutions
For months past the American Legion
has been endeavoring to obtain the es-
tablishment of a proper tubercular hos
pital in or near New York city.
There is also immediate need of a
proper establishment for the mental
cases. On January 19 there were in
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey
$50 tubercular cases, 1.015 mental cases
and only Sc general cases in contract
hospitals. Had it not been for the
agreement on the part of Gov Miller
with the American Legion to increase
gradually the facilities for the care OF
mental cases at the Kings Park Hos
pital, an admirable institution, we should
he wholly without proper facilities for
these cases."

MURDER NOT SUICIDE.
SEEN IN FREEHOLD
Investigation Is Started Into
Killing of Charles Schaefer,
Insurance Man.

Charles +. Sexton. prosecutor of
Monmouth county. N. j.. aided by pri-
vate detectives of this city, has begun
an investigation into the circumstances
of the death by shooting Thursday
morning of Charles Fl. Schaefer, so
years old. an auditor OF the Equitable
Life Assurance Society. in the basement
of his home in Freehold, N. j. The
prosecutor and relatives of Mr.. Schaefer
who live in this city are not satisfied
that he committed suicide s was first
supposed They contend that the wound
from which Mr.. Schaefer died could not
have been self-nflicted and assert they
are borne out in this contention by the
Monmouth county physicians who per-
formed the autopsy Thursday.
ID. d. Cashion, Coroner of Monmouth
county, announced yesterday that he
had impaneled a jury that would con-
duct an investigation into Mr.. Schaefer's s
death Tuesday. Among the witnesses
to be examined will be Mrs. Schaefer.

for'the last six months and who owned
the weapon which was used in the
shooting. and a Mrs. Garden of Jersey
City. a nurse. who recently had cared
for Mr.. Conoyer. who is inca cita ted
by spinal ailment.
A negro maid found Mr.. Schaefer
living dead near the furnace in the cell
lar. There was a wound through the
top Of his head. the bullet having
passed in through the left side OF the
forehead and out through the back Of
the head. The pellet finally imbedded
itself in a sugar barrel. The weapon
lay about eight feet from the BODY.
Mrs. Schaefer was in a bedroom on
the second floor when the shooting
occurred but did not hear the shot, she
said. Mr. Conover was asleep i'm an

other part OF the house. They were
aroused by the maid and the police
were called.
Drs. David Carey and Philip Hach-
brucher OF Freehold performed the
autopsy, which showed the bullet had
passed through the top of the head on
a straight line. There were no powder
marks ON the skin, as is usual in suicides,
and the hair was not singed. The
physicians have refused TO call the
case one of suicide. DR.. Hachbrucher,
in particular. commenting that he had
not seen such a suicide in eight years
of service at Bellevue Hospital.
Philip F. Schaefer, a brother, who
went to Freehold Friday, said he could
not get into the Schaefer home. The
body In the meanwhile had been re-
moved to an undertaking shop, from
which 1t was buried yesterday. when
Mr.. Schaefer returned to this city he
got into touch with George ID. wilson
of 609 West 13eth street, head OF
private detective agency. Mr.. Schaefer
told the detective that to the best OF
his knowledge his brothers estate, con-
sisting of insurance, cash in two Free
hold banks and some stocks and ponds,
would amount to about sls,000 lie said
that a cursory investigation made by

Joseph Collins, a detective, went to
Freehold yesterday with Mr.. Schaefer
and Mrs. Robert Dibble of 361 West
12lst street. Mr.. Schaefer's daughter.
Mr. Schaafer and his daughter attended
the funeral while the detective, accom-
panied by Detective John M. Smith OF
Monmouth county, went over all the de-
tails of the shooting. When Mr. Col
lins returned to New York late last
night he said that facts were such that
they warranted the fullest investigation.
1--WE have no grounds on which to
make an arrest" Prosecutor Sexton said
Yesterday. with all the evidence we
have we can do no more for the present
than accept the theory of suicide. Con-
ditons, of course, may change after
the inquest Tuesday"
So far as the relatives here know
there was no reason for Mr.. Schaefer
to kill himself. He is said to have told
a friend on a train that he contem-
plated self-destruction, but this report
is discounted by his brother. The dead
man purchased a Communication ticket
on the first Of the month, which to
his relatives indicates that he had on
intention of suicide forty-eight hours
before his death.

MISSIONARY Is SLAIN
BY CHINESE BANDITS
DR.. Shelton, Once Held Cap
tive Sixty Days, Is Muir
dered Near Batang.

ST. LOUIS, March 4.--The Rev. DIR. AL
bert LIE Roy Shelton, medical missionery
of the Disciples of Christ (Christian
church,. who was the first Christian
missionary to be allowed to enter Thibet,
and who was kidnapped and held by
Chinese brigands sixty days. two years
ago, was murdered by Chinese robbers
February II last 1t was announced here
to-day.
The announcement was made by the
United Christian Missionary Society,
which received cablegram from the
Rev. DIR. w. NJ. Hardy, also a medical
missionary in China. which read: Rob
bers killed Shelton near Batang, Febru-
AIRY II. Notify girls
The girls referred to are DR.. Shelton's
daughters, Dorothy. II, and Doris, 15.
who are attending school in Pomona,
Cal.
DIR. Shelton's headquarters were at
Batang, near Thibet, and DR.. Hardy's
cablegram was from Liliang, the nearest
telegraph station, a fifteen days jour-
ney. and this. it was explained, is re-
sponsible for the delay in news of the
murder.
Although Thibet has not been open to
missionaries, DR.. Shelton left Vancouver
last August to open a hospital at Lhassa.
He had received a written invitation
from the Dalai Lama, the supreme power
of the Buddhist church in the province,
to establish the hospital, in recognition
of his work among Thibetian soldiers.
The last word received from DR.. Shell
ton was when he was fifteen days jour
ney cut OF Batang, which he said he ex-
pected to reach December %. The theory
of the missionary society here is that he
reached Batang on scheduled time.
DIR. Shelton was in st. Louis in Octo
Der, 1920, attending a convention of the
church and related his experiences while
a captive of the brigands.
He said he had been endeavoring for
years to get the ruler of Thibet to lift
the ban on foreigners so he could enter
and pursue his work. and finally the
Dalai Lama had expressed willingness
to grant the request. He prepared to
make the journey to Thibet and he con-
Quoted his wife and daughters on
forty-seven day trip to a point near
railroad station. where they were to so
to the coast, where living conditions
were better, while he was to return to
Batang.
Suddenly brigands surrounded them,
but did not detain the women, apparent
Iy believing they would hinder their
travel. DR.. Shelton was carried into the
mountains and repeated demands for
ransom were made. The brigands also
demanded that the Chinese Government
grant immunity and certain political
concessions.
The missionaries refused to sanction
efforts to ransom him, saying ransom
would lead to the kidnapping OF all mis-
sionaries. Chinese troops finally routed
the brigands. and the fleeing hidnapers
abandoned DR.. Shelton because he had
become i'll. He was found by rescue
party. which included Fred A. Smith,
Chicago newspaper man.

 Last year our farm scrops were small, except the cane crop, which twas larger than usual" said MT. All len. "One year ago this month cane syrup was selling at S1,50 a gallon. This year, with double the crop. peo- ple in West Florida have told me they are offered only S5 and 40 cents a gallon for their syrup.
 Many of these people in those circumstances have found the part ang of the ways and have sold their syrup to a bootlegger Eeighbor or have used it themselves in making smoonshine. Only three gallons of syrup are necessary to make a, quart of liquor. The market value of the syrup is S1.05 to S1.2O. while the .qGart of moonshine will sell for S5 or
