LONG ISLAND BKELETOTJ THAT OF GERMAN GIRL. Information Cabled from Hamburg Established Identity. New York, Oct. 2L.—The police of Islip, L. I, who have been seeking to identify the skeleton founa in the woods near that place last Sunday, expressed _confidence tonight in tho cabled information from Hamburg thax the victim was probably Anna Latter of Altona, a sulsurb of Hamburg. Coroner Savage of Islip said tonight: “The German authorities, with their unequalled equipment for knowing ev- erything about everybody, have un- doubtedly solved the question of iden- tity. Our best clue was found in the initials ‘A. L. on the dead girl's watch and their correspondence ~with the name supplied by the German police leave little doubt what name the vic- tim bore. But this information leaves the case still a mystery, the solution of which is likely to prove a matter, of considerable difficulty. “No one by the name of Latter or by the name Mueller is known in this section of Long Island and we shall probably have to rely on the New York police. “The New York authorities are already at work and may be able to pick up the clue from the arrival of the Fuller descrip- tions of Mr. and Mrs. Mueller and pos- sibly the names of some of their friends in New York city should be furnished in_the official advices from Germary The dslip police” discoverea turther evidence today to show that the girl was murdered and did not commit suicide. A second .32 calibre bullet identical with the one that passed through the girl's cheek bone was found in the skeleton pear the region of the heart. The authorities say that it would have been impossible for the girl to have fired both of these bullets herself. ~Either one of them, they say, would have made her instantly un- conscious.

He declared that the president had ex- pressed doubt that such a town as Taft or such a ranch existed and he had been invited to return ‘to Wash- ington this way so that he might be shown arotind. “He is mow here” contipued Mr: Tait, “and I.want him.to —tell you. whether he is convinced or not.” The president was cheered as he rose to speak. “I am glad to be here,” he said, and again his audience of ‘®n- thusiasts cheered. Glad to be here” continued the president, “under the fraternal au- spices of my brother and his wife, Mrs. Taft. I have heard of his ranch for a good many years. 1 heard of it from Mr. David Sinton, Mrs. Taft's father, who offered me the job once, if T could not make any better living, of coming down on this ramch and naming the calves, and, while it seemed to be work that would probably take all my time, the amount earned per calf did not; seem to be enough to be attractive.” THEODORE RIZZO GUILTY IN FIRST DEGREE.

Guggenkem. t was pointed out to the court to- day that a serious question is involy— ed. If it is founl that the court has no power to reopen the case it is said there will be notting to prevent fraud on the court in the future. All that would be necessary would be that the fraud be kept secret until the expira- tion of the term of court in which the divorce was secured.

This array of lawyers, scrutinizing many court records, discovered the case was a unique one. Not a prece- dent was to be found. Arguments continued for three days, interrupted by heated clashes among the lawyers, Judge Homore meanwhile observing that they were “getting nowhere.” The question whether he had jurisdiction was as far from solution as ever to- day, and the court's order of “ndefi- nite postponement” was taken as a way out of the dilemma.
