OF CHILD IN BRONX TON, Y, POLIGE SAY Net Is Cuiee Hak In on Man Who Lured Little Sigred Ekstrom Into Cellar. HE LED HUNT FOR HER, Accused Man, Known in Neigh- borhood, Disappeared When Body Was Found. It is believed the strangler of six. Year-old Sigred Ekstrom, whose body Was found Thursday night in the cel- lar of No, 1077 Ogden avenue, the Bronx, the flathouse adjoining her home at No, 1075, will be arrested to- day. The dozen detectives at work on the case have developed what they cajl & positive clue and are now searching for a man who lived in the immediate neighborhood of the crime and disappeared yesterday morning. Joseph Bardi, formerly of No 1141 Og- den avenue, who was arrested last night and held on a charge of carrying concealed weapons, ts innocent of any knowledge of how the golden-haired child w lured into the cellar and choked to death. The arrest of Bardi, it is admitted to-day, was not based on any clue and was inspired more with the Idea of diverting attention from the real search than anything else. He was arraigned in the Morrisania Court to-day and held on a chai of carry- ing concealed weapons. The man hunted for now was weil known by the child and was thoroughly familiar with the house in which the orime was committed. He answers the Gescription furnished by Httle Edwin Ekatrom, brother of tne murdered child, fe dark, has @ little, black moustache and is of powerful build. ‘This man was hovering about the quarters of Eng'ne Company No. 68, opposite the Ekstrom home, when the body found. During the exalt ment that attended the discovery, he Femained aloof from the house, but did not je the ecene of the crime until Coroner's Physician Riegelman pro- nounced the murdered child wes the victim of a strangler. He vanished then and did not return to his home last night, nor have his relat'ves and acquaintances discovered any «trace of him. He had no regular employment and spent most of his time in a “ heod saloons. hata It was the opinion from the firet of Janitor Rocks of the two houses Nos, 1076-1077 Ogden avenue that no stran- wer had committed the crime. None had been seen in the neighborhood by any Of the children who had been play- ing with little Sigred up to within a few minutes before her father came home and missed her. None of the fire- men sitting in front of the engine house saw any stranger. "I am sure," said Janttor Rocks, “that the child was not taken down into the ceMflar by way of the street entrance. She was probably called into the hallway of the house and per- muaded to go down the cellar a.airway at the rear of the hall. With most of the families at thelr supper, this could have been done without atgracting at+ tention.” A remarka! ature of the case is the fapt that the man now being hunted was active in the search for the chidl after the alarm had been raised. Char- acteriatically indolent, he led @ search- ing party through the neighborhood, ex. ploring vacant lots and calling the chjlé's name. But the moment the body was found, he held aloof and absented himself from the centres of excitement, cores of playmates continued to-day fo bring flowers for the casket of little Sigred. The funeral will take place to. morrow afternoon and most of the little children of the Highbridge public school will attend. Tee “TICKET ONE WAY. PLEASE,” SAYS THAW, DEPARTING.

BY GEORGE HAIGHT. He is secretary and treasurer of Queens Land & Title Company, which represents the powerful syndicate that is developing Massapequa, with his brother, Dr, Allen T. Haight, as President. Hundreds of New York families are buying or moving to suburban homes each week. Thousands more are neces- sarily potential buyers or tenants of Such properties, because the steady Browth of the metropolis is claiming old Fevidential sections rapidly for business York's history shows that home ownership has been very profitable. As the city spreads, it can not fail to carry with it higher land values. This move- ment adds to the fortunes of these who own the outlying land. If the Property was bought primarily with good judgment in places where growth and development are apt to centre with Sreater rapidity than in other localities the profits sometimes become enormou! Just now we are at the start of @ ne era of suburban expansion, It ts the rapid transit era. It is also a new period in constructional ideas—an age that ts creating a general demand for something better and more substantial than the houses and land surroundings of past generations—in fact, a fireproof era with euburban home surroundings and eonvenience equal to those of the cities. ‘The new era opens with especial promise for the situation on Long Island. That quarter of the suburban zone {s favored with all of the best and most advantageous features of the movement—tranalt, construction, land improvements, immense development op- erations backed by enormous capital. ‘The Long Island field is in the most satisfactory condition since 1906. The primary object of any lesitimate real estate development is, of course. to create a home centre, and no opera- tion can have permanent or neal suc- cess without home building as a basis. For the first time since 196 home bulld- ing now takes precedent over lot buy- ing, and while the buying of vacant Property as an investment continues. and will continue in great volume, it will be mostly confined to developments where complete street improvement am being installed by the developers of the property, eo that lot holders may erect their homes at any time and be sure of having all suburban city conventence. The present development of the mar- ket is largely due to the fact that the many thousands of fot buyers, who pur- chased their lots on the instalment plan, have completed their payments and are now building, or arrenging to build, homes, and also to the fact that thou- sands of residents on Manhattan Is!- and which would enable them to secure great advantage of a suburban home within easy reach of business. Tho extent to which New York is being given over to business and the very unsatisfactory present Living conditions on Manhattan Island has caused thou- sands of New ‘York parents to see the importance of bringing up their fam- ies in the suburbs, giving their chil- dren the wonderful advantages of fresh air, healthful, invigorating sports such \s golf, fishing, boating, bathing, sail- ing, instead of @ playground of city streets. With the great increase in home buy- ing has also come the advance in home construction, until the popular suburban home has almost reached the ideal. The hollow tile stuoco, semi-fire proof home is largely replacing frame construction as in addition to being fireproof it is warmer in winter and cooler in summer than the old style of construction. The architectural effect 1s more pleasing and the cost of ‘“up-keep" very much less. With the completion of the present sigantic rapid transit plans now well under way for Long Ieli making ac- cess to from New York easy and pleagant, there is every rei to be- Heve that the section, with its beautiful wooded slopes, lakes, bay and ocean, will be in greater favor with euburt, | G.F' FLATGHT home buyers than any other Now York quburban territory. —-— 5,000 MEN WORK ON NEW SUBWAYS TO OPEN SUBURBS Rapid trai subway uncertainties are disappearing fast.
