The matter of providing & suit-able public toboggan slide wasfirst considered and the enthusiasmmanifested indicated all are agreedthat a safe slide properly locatedwould not only add greasy to oarwinter sport facilities, but mustbe considered a real necessity forentertaining people who come toPlacid to enjoy winter sports.•There was a diversity of opinionas to the best location for. a slide,and as many as eight different lo-cations were suggested. The mat-tar was finally referred to a com-mittee t0 investigate these loca-tions and to obtain estimates formaterial and labor required, andalso to consider ways and meansof financing the cost of erecting atoboggan slide.

Conunitteeraen: John White,W. Brewater, W. R. Wickoff, S. B.O'Haire, & B. McDevittand F* W.Swift.

The next subject concerned theneed of having a paid wintersports director.

Mr. K. G. Coons made a sug-gestion which was well taken,which concerned the arranging ofthe hours for local events in whichthe school is expected to partici-pate. Mr. Coons stated that dueconsideration should be given thefact that school dismisses at 3:30o'clock, and to set an earlier hourfor events at which the schoolshould be present means the loss

Remain* Bore Mwks of BrutalCrime—Body of Baby Foundnear Ft Edward

A Sunday despatch sent out fromLake George tell of the finding ofthe body of an unidentified wo-man, who had been beaten todeath with blows on the head, andhidden in a pine grove in FortGeorge Park, on the outskirts ofthe village.

A few hours later, the body ofan unidentified baby was found ina shallows in the Hudson river,ten miles away, just south of PortEdward. The cause of the baby'sdeath has not been determined.

A slip of paper on which waswritten, apparently in a woman'shandwriting, 1&ary Deegan & RoseD. & Molly & Kitty," was foundin a leather wallet which waspinned to the woman's clothing.In the wallet was $56. The hand-writing was not clear enough toestablish definitely whether thefamily name was Deegan or Du-gan.

The authorities of Warrencounty where the woman's bodywas found, and those of Saratogacounty, where the baby's body wasfound, are co-operating in theirinvestigations on the theory both

m&s may be linked up.*The woman was between forty-

five and fifty and had bruises onher arm indicating she had ward-ed on* the blows of a heavy in-strument before being struckdown by a Uom tfcat fractured herskall, according to Dr. C. K.Burt and Dr. John J. Dever, coro-ners of Warren county. Her leftshoulder also was dislocated.

The woman was not slain on thespot where the body was found, ac-cording to Under Sheriff HerbertSmith, who found evidence thatthe body was dragged several feetthru pise needle3 is the grove tothe spot where it was found. Theauthorities believe the body wasbrought here in an automobile, as

Oldest inhabitants of this re-gion cannot recall a parallel ofthis week's freshet, when "thefloodgates of heaven were opened"and for 40 hours a steady down-pour raised local brooks, streamsand rivers to a level that cut offtravel and transportation, and fora while threatened Lake Placidand surroundings with completeisolation.

Tho Sunday was a beautifulbalmy day, old settlers familiarwith weather signs, predicted thecoming storm. Late Sunday nightit commenced to rain, graduallythe downpour increased until thevolume took on the proportions ofa cloud burst. Tuesday morningdistress calls began to come infrom the Nk>tch vicinity whereseveral automobiles were ma-rooned. Jhe highway for severalhundred feet was submerged infour feet or more of water. Ven-turesome drivers attempted ford-ing and in one or two instancessucceeded but with the water overthe motor and coming above thefloor. Other cars were stalled inthe attempt and wrecking crewsfrom local garages were busy allday towing cars thru the floodedarea.

On the same day the New YorkCentral railroad encountered se-rious trouble from the storm. Thefirst section of the Montreal toUtica train witk which the 9:10out of Placid connects, ran into awashout one mile north of Sabat-tis.

The engine, two baggage carsand two coaches were ditched. Fora considerable distance the ballasthad been undermined beneath therails, and the unsupported trackswere struck without warning.

According to reports the fire-man was the oaly one serious1

In selecting Mr. Leonard forchairmanship of this commlthere was secured for this import-ant post the man who undoubted-ly originated the idea of the high-way to the top of WhitefaceMountain. For years he urge*,uch a project conceding howevei

the first necessity to the region ofa system of trunk line highwaysconnecting all important points.With the realbtation of a completehighway system, the time is be-ieved to be at hand to direct at-tention to the plan of an automo-bile highway up Whiteface moun-tain.

As soon as the meeting can beirranged with commissioner Mae-

donald a clearer understandingwill be reached on tfce variousphases of the problems that are tobe encountered in the committee'swork.
