And if she did drown herself
or run away, why? No mo-
tive for either act has ever been

Why did this young mother

WORK OUT GAS REFUNDS
Methods of Enforcing Provisions
Settled oy Auditor.

New methods of enforcing the re-
fund provision of the gasoline tax
payments made on all crude oil
products under the new special ses-
sion statute have been worked out
by Floyd E. Williamson, state au-
ditor.
Hereafter, where the fuel is not
to be used in combustion motors on
highways, the dealer making the
sale will note that fact and no tax
will be collected, Williamson said.
Thus far, the law has cost more
to administer than the funds de-
rived from it.

rivers edge and the lower end of
the steps from the bridge.
A pair of Mrs. Longs shoes were
obtained and they fitted the tracks
perfectly.
But the strangest thing about
all this was the route these foot
prints took. From the foot of the
stairs they led through the soft
mud to the rivers edge.
These two prints stood even and
close together, as if the person
who had made them stopped there
and gazed at the water.
Then these footprints turned
and trailed back toward the car!
These are the known facts; all
the rest is conjecture, leaving in
veStigators squarely up against a
blank wall of mystery.

- back to the bridge and leap
from there to drown herself?
Old Father Mississippi,
which almost invariably gives up
his dead to some chance fisher
man or police hook, was
searched and dragged for days
without result.
Was Mrs. Long kidnapped?
No demand for ransom ever was
received, no threats ever were
made against her or her family.
Was Mrs. Long murdered and
robbed? S.. There were no
signs of a struggle in her car and
her money was still in it.
Did Mrs. Long wander away?
No trace of her has ever
been found, though her picture
was published in hundreds of
newspapers throughout the United
States and every police depart
ment in the country had her
description.

VXTHERE is Mrs. F. Harry Long,
w "a, daughter of a Memphis,
Tenn. bank president and promi-
nent in the city's smartest social
set, who vanished nearly two
years ago, leaving behind her no
more trace than the flame Of a
candle which has been blown out
suddenly?
Her case is the perfect mys-
terry of Memphis. 1t is as baf-
fling. today as it was the moment
when the police were called in to
investigate. In the nineteen
months that have elapsed since
her sudden disappearance, detec-
tives have been unable to obtain
even a shred of a clew.
Members of the family at last
have reconciled themselves to the
conclusion that Mrs. Long drowned.
herself in the Mississippi river,
but Police Inspector Will T. Crit
fin confidently believes that she
still is alive and will be found
some day.
He believes that she either was
kidnapped, is suffering from loss of
memory, or that she voluntarily
sought refuge in that mysterious
haven of oblivion which beckons
to distressed souls.
But the pretty young society
matron had no reason for killing
herself, even less reason for run
ming away.
She apparently was happily
married, wealthy, active in Mem
phis Junior League and the
mother of 2-month-old baby.
HERE are the known facts:
IL At 5 p. m. on Jan. 4, 1881,
Mrs. Long left a Sunday after
noon bridge party at the home of
friend, saying she had to hurry
home to give her baby his $50
p. m. feeding.
AS she entered her coupe and
started off, her motor Sputtered.
Her hostess, Mrs. w. Cole Early,
who had followed her to the
driveway, asked her if the car
might be out of gas.
Mrs. Long replied that she put
gas in the car every 100 miles and
that the speedometer then regis
tered only eighty-one miles. She
drove away. 1t then was dark.
At 6 p. m, her husband, F.
Harry Long, Memphis insurance
broker, arrived at the fashionable
Long home on South Evergreen
street, found the baby still unfed.
Fearing an accident had hap
pened to his wife, Mr.. Long
notified police and a search was
begun at once.
4 T 1915 p. m. a Waterman
IN on the Harahan bridge
which spans the Mississippi river
found Mrs. Longs auto parked
on an approach on the Tennessee
side, headed toward the Arkansas
end.
1t stood about seventy-five yards
from the bridge proper, and
near a small flight of steps that
led down to the river bank.
Neatly folded on the seat in the
coupe was Mrs. Longs coat. There,
too, were her hat, her gloves, her
cigaretS and her purse, contain
ing $757.
There was no signs of strug-
gle. They key was in the ignition.
lock, the motor cold.
The speedometer registered
ninety-f1ve miles, or fourteen
miles more than it had read when
she left Mrs. Early'S home.
A motorcycle policeman who
measured the distance developed
that Mrs. Long must have driven
directly from Mrs. Early's home to
the bridge, or almost so, for Mrs.
Earlys home was twelve and one-
half miles from the bridge.
VXTHEN daylight came, detec-
w tives found woman's foot
