tern at the rear of the home of Mr..

there with blunt instrument. Mrs.
Sake was Mrs. Arnold's mother.

former marriage. was missing. So was
small automobile kept in a garage
at the rer of the place. The youths
parents said he did not know how to
drive a car, and his father advanced
the theory that the boy was kidnapped
by the slayer of Mrs. SAKE.
The body was discovered by Mr.. and
Mrs. Arnold when they returned home
from Chicago theater. Police at first
theorized that Mrs. SAKE might have
been slain by the youthful killer-kid-
naper who recently slew Frank Jor-
dan and kidnapped Miss Lillian Henry,
niece of former Police Commissioner
John Alcock, but later were inclined
to doubt this theory.
My boy and my mother-i -in-law were
always on the best of terms" Arnold
said. He had never been wild and
we can account for this tragedy only
by believing he was overpowered by
the person or persons who killed her

her unless it was robbery"

TOTALS N7,ODO,OlO
Exports and Imports Show
Increase for Third Con-
SeCutiVe Month.

A favorable trade balance of SAT, ,OOO,-
900 in the United States foreign trade
for October was reported today by the
Commerce Department.
The department said it represented
the largest trade balance for the year
and was higher than the correspond
ing month last year.
Export values for the month reached
a mark of $153,0Oo,00 against s2O4,-
905,000 for October, 1881, while i'm
ports were valued at s106,O00,O0O for
october, against s167,7os.00O for the
same month last year.
The department said last month was
the third consecutive month this year
in which both exports and imports have
increased over the preceding month.
However. despite this trend, exports
for the 10-month period of this year
are s704, 4,765, 900 under the same period
last year, while imports had decreased
s665, ,6s2, 900.
The cotton movement has been re-
sponsible for buoying the export trade
during August and September, but the
report today showed that while the
heavy cotton movement continued, a
general commodity movement was
mainly responsible for the October in
crease.
Cotton was valued at $39. .0O0, 900.
against s32, 100000 for last month. The
department said that the general COM
modify movement amounted to an in
crease OF SCI 100000 for the month.
Another significant feature of the re-
port was the outgoing flow of gold.
which amounted to only S57,O a total
of $4,000 less than last month and
S396,547000 less than for the same
month of 1881. which marked the
height OF the raid on the dollar by
European countries.

TO ATTAIN ITS GOAL

ment and Group Solicitation
Units Cheer Leaders.

With taste of the sort of dreary
days Washingtons unfortunate may ex-
perience if the Community Chest cam
paign falls short of its goal, the army
of more than 5000 workers today took
another hitch in its belt and set out
to raise the money necessary to erase
200 black days from the 1888 calendar
With the campaign half over and the
Chest not filling as rapidly as had been
expected, campaign leaders today ex-
horted solicitors to take to their task
with a new determination.
There remains 81, 1,378, ,3o0.50 to be COL
lected if the Chest is to reach its goal
of $2,4l9,787, the amount needed to
provide $6,629 worth of relief from pov-
erty, distress and despair for every day
of the coming year.
There has been collected SO far
s1,041 1850, with yesterdays reports
complete, more than 100000 behind
the pace expected when the campaign
opened.
Units Total Mounts.
Campaign leaders were somewhat
cheered, however, by mounting daily to-
tails the last few days in the Govern
ment and Group Solicitation Units, the
Government Unit yesterday forging to
the front of all reporting groups, and
the Group Solicitation Unit reporting
more than half its quota at the half
way mark.
On no day during the campaign,
however, have the workers erased their
allotted number of days from the black
calendar Of despair. With nine report
days, it was expected that Al days
could be erased on such report day,
and thus, by the end of the campaign,
have Washingtons calendar of welfare
and relief one of hope for the hopeless.
Thirty-nine days-wiped Thursday from
the calendar-is the best record of the
campaign SO far.
Washington's business men, however,
were reported meeting the crisis nohly.
One of the more remarkable records
made this year was in connection with
the solicitation of the employees of the
Washington Gas Light Co. and the
Georgetown Gas Light Co.
Last year approximately IS per cent
of the employees of these firms sub
scribed a little more than $4,000. This
year, told of the dire need that some
of Washingtons people will face, about
98 per cent of the employees subscribed

S967 per employe. This, added to the

$4,000 as a corporation, brought the
