They were greeted ut the front

DEATH FEARED.

"He will die unless you find him
and get him to a hospital.
"This fellow was a secret detective
and needs help quick"
The first and last paragraphs were
written in ink and apparently had
been added after the first section had
been written with pencil.
Before the amazed youth could real
ize what had happened, the machine
sped away and was lost in traffic.
Police believe the woman knew too
much" and was being hustled out of
the way. ....
They think that she had stumbled
on to facts concerned with a crime
they had committed and that she is
being held against her desire until
they can escape.
The fact that the note had been
written at different periods strength
ened the belief that the three had
driven a long distance, possibly from
Austin, and that the girl had taken
advantage of various stops to pen the
note which sent Chiefs Miller aud
Street toward Austin.

the child, he had been kidnapped in San

Will Benefit London Street Car
 Passengers if Adopted

London( Marc h13.-London fogs, even at their worst, will have no terrors for tramcar. passengers of the future If an invention demon- strated here recently meets half the promises of the, inventor.
 Long famous for grasping soot and smoke and nearly everything which floats and holding them sus- pended in the air, London fogs sometimes bring street traffic to a standstill for hours at time, as drivers cannot see their way, even by the aid of powerful headlights and. other special arrangements. But this trsuble may be overcome by the autS indicator, it is contend- ed, as it shows the passenger and the motorman as well the exact To- cation of the car at all times.
 A red pointer works on a chart on which are the names of streets, hotels and other well-known build ings and the usual stopping places along the route. The red pointer reaches these positions on the chart simultaneously with the car itself. The pointer is operated by a me- chanism geaEed to the car aXel this being the most complicated part of the machinery, and which it is claimed took the inventor nine years to perfect.
 The guide was tried out by the Metropolitan Tramways recently and was said by C. J. Spencer, the general manager, to be a success. The London County Council, operat- ing part of the London street car system, has agreed to adopt the in- dcator if it proves success on the Metropolitan.
