INVESTIGATION REVEALS PERKINS GIRL
HAD DECLARED INTENTION TO RUN AWAY

was II years old and that she came
from an upriver town.
Mrs. Hubert at the johnson House
did not feel that she was old enough
for work there and she had called a
friend of hers in this city to tell her
that she had a girl who wanted en-
ployment. She had given her her din
ner and when she told her that she
had a place for her to work the Per-
kins girl had declared that she had Sc
cured Unemployment in Portland.
At that time, according to the sher-
ifs department, there were two men
registered at the johnson House as
from Portland and she had been seen
talking with them about o'clock Sat
urday afternoon. Efforts have been
made to trace the two men, but no
car can be found registered at the Of
flee of the secretary Of state under
names corresponding to those under
which they registered at the johnson
House. The Portland police have been
asked to try to locate the men. 1t
was thought that they were driving a
"strip-down" automobile, painted yei-
low in color, but the registration num-
Der is not known.
Efforts to discover the girl will be
continued and report by the Port
land police is expected this morning,
at which time it will probably be de-
termined whether q continuance Of this
line of investigation will be Of any
value or not.

Washington, Oct. Is. (AP)--
High ranking officers were sent by

sage that in its opinion the Ameri-

plans do not believe that any me
chanical device" can, in. time OF
emergency, replace the "dogged de.
termination" of the American infan-
tryman.
Major General Charles P. Sum.
neral, senior officer of the army
asserted that because man lives on
the land, I'VE must have land power
and the army Is the infantry fnc
every arm must be coordinated to
get the infantry through"
He was supported in this view BY
Brigadier General Hugh A. Drum.

before the board for the second
time, denied charges made yester'
day by Chairman Martin B. Madden

Mystery in Finding
Body of White Girl
In Louisiana Swamp

Winnsboro, La, Oct. 13-(AP)-
The Businesses of the Tensas swamp
today held the secret of what may
have been a modern Auto-Da-Fe
with a young white woman as the
victim, while armed men combed its
recesses for a clew to explain the
finding of the. charred body on a
pine log pyre.
Identification of the body, found
Saturday night by negro who fear
ed to notify the parish authorities
lest he be implicated. was practical
ly impossible. 1t had been Invested
of clothing and was so badly burned
that Coroner J. D. Rogers could not
say whether it had been cremated
before or after the woman's death.
Unmarked feminine apparel OF
good quality. found in suitcase
near the pyre. and a white gold ring
on the finger of the corpse were
the threads by which Identification
was hoped to be made. A bucket
which apparently had contained gas
oline. indicated that every effort had
been made to make cremation COM
plete.
Although the woman may have
been slain and her body burned to
cover the crime. the authorities
point out that the scene Of the act
was at such a remote point In the
swamp, which is IL miles from here,
that even had she not been gagged
it was possible for her to have been
burned alive without her screams
being heard.

els less than last years total were

the United States visible supply had
increased only $4,000 bushels for the
week.
Contributing to the late reaction in
the wheat market; however, were pr,
moisture both in Australia and Argen-
tina. Earlier weakness was more or
less due to word that Minneapolis
millers had brought 100000 bushels OF
wheat across the border from Canada,
duty paid. and that Buffalo had also
taken 10000 bushels out of Canada.
making a total of 100000 bushels
brought into the United States from
Canada since Saturday.
Corn owed its advance good deal
to wheat strength. Country offerings
to arrive, though. both Of old corn and
Of new, were small. ana there was an
active demand from feeders and from
industries. Oats were easy, with some
selling into store here.
Provisions were responsive to . de-
cline in the value of hogs.
