The place where the body was found supplies an ideal spot for a murder with mystery attached. _The distance to the nearest house proba- bly is more than 1,000 feet. The spot is approximately 800 feet south of the Apple street bridge, . A theory has been advanced that, providing it was a case of murder, the woman might have been rolled down a very steep hill skirting the fair grounds on the east. The fair grounds has the reputation of being a trysting place. A month ago, Charles Siefert stated to Coroner Swisher, he had seen a well dressed white woman stunding at the end of the Apple street bridge, apparently waiting for some one. He said she seemed very nervous. Find- ing that she was being watched the woman walked toward the fair grounds, which end at Apple street, and was not seen again. This was in the evening. Seifert further states that the woman was dressed entirely in black. Four Unsolved Murders. The body was found lying half out on the bank, face down, while both hands were clenched and were near her throat, as if she had tried to pro- RECEPTION FOR ROOSEVELT.

PROMISED MONEY TO COLLEGE. Insist on Recognition. The miners’ leader, before yester- day’s conference, stated that the min- ers’ representatives would not sign an agreement unless it provides for rec- ognition of the United Mine Workers of America. It also, he said, must be signed by the miners as officers of the union, and not as representatives of the anthracite mine workers. If the miners support him in his attitude, it looks as if there will be no agree- ment, as the operators since 1900: have been unalterably opposed to rec- ognition of the miners’ organization. There is a possibility of the men continuing to work without an agree- ment and striking at the various col- lieries as grievances come up, if they are not adjusted by the superintend- ents of these mines. This, it is point- ed out, would be a return to the cha- otic conditions that prevailed prior to the strike of 1902, when there were strikes every day in all sections of the anthracite regions, making the amount of coal production from day to day un- certain, AGAIN INDICTED AS SWINDLER.
