KEEP SHOVELS MADE OF GOLD
Those Used at Cornerstone
 LayingS Retained

New York, April 6.-What be- comes of gold trowels after use at cornerstone layings, or of silver picks and shovels after being used to break ground for some new fane or public work? These commemorative tools almost invariably end up in the ar- chives or strong rooms of the insti- tutions concerned, where they are carefully preserved, say manufactur- ing jewellers in answer to questions arising since Mayor Hylan recently used silver to turn the first earth for a new subway division.
 Jewellers say these implements de luxe could scarcely be thrown aside or melted up again, their material and artistic, as well as sentimental value, being too high.
 A gold troweL for all it has but a few brief minutes of actual use, costs as much as $1,500, according to the price lists. Silver trowels command s15O; silver-plated. $50. A pick or olioNCl ldoliOllCu ouL VI Sollu oltftl would stand any committee on open ing day arrangements good $500; even a plated tool costs s150.
 Though the metal itself might be reclaimed, jewellers say, not so the art work the best of these souvenirs represent. The chased work and en- graving, the latter giving names of dignitaries and an inscription of the event, reveal workmanship of high order and would make them prized among collectors.
 AS proof of sentimental worth, jewellers report that gold trowels used at laying of cornerstones of churches are usually placed after ward with the old communion sets. | Sometimes, in cases of establish ments which outgrow first expan. sion and have occasion to solemnize second cornerstone, the first trowel is used again to reinvoke the bless ing it seemed to have bestowed ori- ginally.

 Friends Mysiifed
 Parents of tho slain girl and friends of O'Mahoney have been un- able to throw any light on the case. According to Miss ponnelly's mother in New York sheleft home yesterday morning for days outing in the country and appeared to be in the best of health and spirits. There was nothing to indicate, according to the mother that there had been trouble of any kind between her daughter and o'Mahoney. They had been friends for two. and half years. Both the girl and young man had return tickets to New York when they left the Grand Central station in New York yesterday morning. O'Mahoney. 1t was learned. left his boarding house in New York yesterday morning and made no mention when he would return. So far as can be learned there were no eyewitnesses to the shooting which occurred in the woods in a park not far from the Indian Harbor Yacht Club. The first report the police had of the shooting was when o'Ma- honey gave himself up at police headquarters with the statement that he had just shot his sweetheart. He turned over his revolver to the police, it showing that five shells had been exploded. He then led the police to the woods nearby where the body of the girl was found with five bullet wounds in her head and breast.
 O'Mahoney refused to make any statement further than to admit that he had done the shooting and that he had then carried the body into the bushes were 1t was later found.
