Tho body was found about fifteen feefrom the top of the chimney or about halway down the top story Bilcks weTremoved in the front room of the top floonf the house at 1841 next door and tinbody was taken out that way It wasupright having fallen into the chimnofeet first The left arm Wilt crooked tinhand resting on the side of the face Tinright arm was crossed on the breast withthe palm of the hand clows to the throat
Henry Flynn of 179 East NinotyalxHstreet and Gerard Strassburg of 160 EastNinetyseventh street had been employeeby Senator Frawley the Tammanyof the district to assist In running dowistories that the girl had been kidnapped-The neighborhood had been inflamed bjthese stories and all day crowds had linethe streets around the house
Flynn and Strasuburg were going througlthe house at 1841 about 3 oclock In
afternoon and were on the upper floonwhen they found that Mrs Charles Wolf-on the top floor front had been strewingchloride of lime about In an effort toher rooms of a stench that had been growIng wprso for a day or two
Finding nothing In Mrs Flynns apart-ments to explain what was wrong the twcyoung men went to the roof and deciderto search the chimney They got a stickand poked it down It met no obstructionand they went to hardware shop acrossth street and got a pole about flfteerfeet long This showed thatwas blocked
They pulled up the pole and fastened thook to the end of it Then they loweredIt a second tune and whwi they brought It
they pulled up the sleeve of a girlsdress and some hair
They unmedlntoly went to tho East 104tlistreet police station and notifiedHerlihy He sent them Imrk with De-
tective Smith and plans wore made to takrout the body It wax decided to break-through the wall of Mrs Wolfs front roomn a little mathematical calculation showedthat the body would bo about midwaybetween the floor and coiling of her apart-ment
In flvUUHUj H root andFireman was sen f aroundto the house with an a and pick Hemade shortS work of breaking Into thechimney and the girls body was foundIt Iran clothed M the child was when sheleft home oven to the pink ribbon in herhair There wan no sign of mutilationA few marks on the face wore attributedto the hook whWh the young men hadused In the chimney The body was takenat once to the station house
Capt Langan of the Detective Bureauand the dflteotivA of the Fat 104th streetstation began Investigation to find outtf the girl had been killed and then putdown the chimney The chimney risesabout five feet above the roof and is closeto the house front parapet which is two anda half feet high so that the chimney top itreadily accessible from the roof Thechimney ia used by both houses and hasfour flues The body was in the flue nearestthe street and the parapet

Both Capts Langan and Herlihy saidthat they felt sure that the girl was acci-
dentally killed The police thought thatperhaps she had been playing with otherchildren in the house and that some ofthe other children knew something abouttar falling In and had been afraid to tellor were too young to know what to trill
They questioned the children but couldfad no one who knew or would tell any-
thing about itOne of the stories told In the house last
night waa that a woman called on MrsMcCahlll early yesterday afternoon andsaid that abe could find the missing girland that abe had an infallible method offinding lost children Mrs MoCahlll would

Reginald Vanderbilt is living In Newportand so far as the District Attorney li

Of course you do not expect me toyou jny programme
One thing I will say however is thAtit no time was I ignorant of the scope olTie bill and the power It would give meis has been Intimated There was oppotltlon to It among the gamblersand It certainly would not have goodtactics against It certain otherpowerful Interests which would Mireljlave been the result had prominent cor-porations now engaged in aidingilng felonious enterprises realized howthe law might bo used
It is wonderful how Influencehangn ones attitude Influence andnterest It was manifested In the differ-ent attitude of the legislators toward theinflpld bill and the Prinon bill which the
tuber unions backed because made it a
nlMlemeanor for anyone to bribe a walkingdelegate The evidentiary portions of each
ili were alike as two peas I drew bothYet while the legislators were greatlywrought up over the Canfleld bill and whathey declared to be Its constitutionalityI noticed that they all voted for the Princetill of exactly the same wording And
tfr Prince toted against the Canfleld bill
is did nearly all New YorkBut Mr Prince deserves of
xing reported as standing against theCanfleld bill because he took the rationalground that he didnt think tho gamblinglituatlon called for such a law lIla attltide was wrong but it was vastly differentrom that of the who based theirippoaltlon on of constituionality of a bill drawn in conformity tohe Supreme Courts decision Theyrotod for the Prince bill however end no
