Leonore Anna Cohn, a pretty five- year-old child, was killed on the night of March 10 in the hallway of the tenement at Nos, 360 ond 352 Third Avenue, where she lived with her mother, a widow. The child had been to a neighboring store for a can of milk, She was seen by a tenant only a few steps from the door of her mother's flat, ‘The ripper, lying in wait, seized the child, choked her into silence, carribd her into the lower hall, and there mutiliated her most brutally, had made his escape when the body was found fifteen minutes later, and an army of detectives was unable to pick up his trail, At 7 o'clock on the night of May & four-year-old Charlie Murray, who had been playing in the street, en- tered the hallway of the tenement house at No, 270 First Avenue, near Fifteenth Street, to go to the home of his parentg on the third floor, Half an hour later his mutilated body was found lying against the locked rear door of the lower hall, Mutilations on the body were identi- cal with those that had been inflicted on the Cohn child, The murderer left no trace bebind.

The South American Ministers are on their way to Washington with special reports on conditions in Mex ico, The Sacramento was out of wireless touch for more than twelve hours, although she was known to have been less than one hundred mies south of the mouth of the Miss- issippi yesterday evening. The last report from the Sacra- mento stated that she was at anchor in the gulf five miles west of South- west Pass, waiting for the storm to abate so a pilot could bring her into the Mississippi River. Reports from the mouth of the river said the seas were so high that an attempt to cross the bat would be extremely perilous. The Sacramento probably will not reach New Orleans before night.
