Taggart laid down his paper and went to the window.

There he found the gunny sack. He threw the bnudlp over the railing of the flre-escape, but not until he had noticed a red splotch, very much like a blood stain on the bag. That stain worried Taggart and when he started to eat his meal he found hi appetite gone. At last, able to restrain his curiosity no longer, Taggart wont to the yard, after calling his friend Mohl. Taggart cut the bag open with his knife and the charred body of the little girt lay revealed.

As pooh as he was able to recover hira-eelf, Taggart hurried to the East Sixty-seventh street police station and told Captain Hughes of what he had found. Hughes went around with his detectives and saw the body. Close examination of the body revealed the fact that the leg and arm bones had been deliberately broken. The 'legs were bent upwards towards tho breast and the arms squezzed tight to the legs. Thin but strong wire bound the whole.

Coroner Holtzhauser Attracted to the Fireplace by New Coat of Black Paint. All of the skin was burned from the body and head, except in one little spot in the back between the shoulders. After Captain Hughes and his men had taken note of the pieces of rope found on the neck and the rope of turquoise, the body was sent to the station house in a patrol i wagon.

iJ mde her way upstairs to the family and showed them the paper. Mrs. Wheeler collapsed. When later she was revived, she sat upon a rocking chair and though with her triel to appear brave and hopeful, she rocked herself for several hours crooning to herself, "Poor Ruth. Poor, poor little Ruthie.

She is better off." The sister Pearl was out of the house tho time. She learned of the story in the newspapers as she was walking into the areaway of the flat building with a newspaper reporter. The reporter had jU8t asked for permission to go upstairs with her Trhen a relative of the young woman came out of the hall and met her the vestibule. The young woman asked for news of her aiBter. The relative, remembering the scene in the home up-Btairs, could do nothing but stammer, and the sister swooned.

She was saved from falling by the reporter, who assisted her to her door. Detectives and police later visited the Wheeler home and impressed upon the sisters and the mother the necessity for someone lu go to uie bluuuu ijuusi; tiiiu make an attempt to say whether or not the body was that of Ruth. With detectives the girls went to the station house. Miss Pearl looked at the remains and saw the turquoise beads. "Tmat's her," Bhe said to Assistant District Attorney Turn-bull and the police that were gathered about her.

She made a Rocond identification later for Coroner Holtzhauser. Detectives Find in Wolter's Hooma a Diary With Names of Several Girls in It, Detectives last night examined the rooms and effects of the prisoner, Wol- nrocurer of White Slaves." wolter got targe numoers ot girts on a correspondence list, the police say, by writing to business colleges and asking for the names of girls desiring positions, stating thai he had work to offer. Wolter does not deny It, the police say. In room as0 was found a smull with the name Albert Walter Wolter on it. This stamps the name in po9tal car1 which Ruth got at the otr.ee 0f tho business school.

In Wolter's room, deposited in a mantel vase, were several black wooden beads and a gold amulet, believed to have been owned by the dead girl The police do not believe that Wolter expected Ruth to call upon him. A girl named Simpson was to have been sent to him on the strength of his postal card. put nuiu was son girl went elsewhere. Ruth was th first girl to go to Wolter from the Estey Institution. When asked laBt night if the prisoner would be made to view the body of the girl whom the police believe to, have been his victim, though they can furnish no motive for the murder, Assistant District Attorney Turnbull Bald hat he thought nol, as that method of bringing criminals or alleged criminals to book was -too much like the Spanish Inquisition.

The police cannot quite figure out. when the girl was murdered. They believe that Wolter strangled her and then hid her MglMBP WBUMTrT initial jVip a Uur least 35c. AUSTRIAN CHINA, NICELY DECORATED. Dinner Plates.

man say that they smelt a strong kerosene odor Thursday night, and the police believe that the murderer of the girl soaked the body In kerosene and set It afire in the fireplace. The police believe that the body was In the fireplace when Devine and the girl's family called at the rooms on Thursday night and that it was taken out and put on the fire-escape by Wolter after the party had left. The police do not think that the Miller woman aided Wolter, If he killed the girl. Police Officials Go to Wolter's Cell in Yorkville Court to Question Him. Ruth Wheeler was the youngest of three daughters.

The two surviving sisters are stenographers and It was Ruth's ambition to he like them. When Ruth was six weeks eold, and while the family was living in Klngsbridge, the father was killed by a Putnam division train on McComb's Dam Bridge. Hewas In charge of the en gines which openedt the bridge draw and atone time was an engineer on the New York Central. Mr. Wheeler was killed while at work.

He was struck by one train and knocked In the path of another. His family immediately moved from Klngsbridge. Mrs. Wheeler brought up her girls and one son, John Wheeler, who Is 27 years of age and who lives In Engle-wood, N. where he works as a clerk for the tSandard Oil Company.

He was expected at the house last night. Pictures of every scrap of of the Seventy-fifth street and One Hundred and Fifth street rooms, and all of Walter's belongings, arc In possession of Captain Carey, In charge of the homicide bureau at Police Headquarters. The pictures were taken by Carey and his detectives. Several finger prints were found in the kitchen of the Seventy-fifth street flat, but there were no bloodstains. Carey would not talk about the finger prints.

The charge of abduction still remains against Wolter. but It will soon be changed to homicide just. Assistant District Attorney Turnbull would not say. Coroner Holtzhauser also found in the fire place a "Lover's Knot" hat-pin and steel ribs of a woman's corset. It is expected that the dead girl's people will identify the hat pin as having been the property of the girl.

Captain Arthur Carey of the homicide bureau and Detective England, one of his aids; Inspector Titus. Captain Hughes, of the East Sixty-seventh street station and a stenographer entered the Yorkville court prison at 9.20 o'clock last, night to have an "interview" with Wolter. At midnight no details of the quiz through which they were presumably putting the suspect had reached the outside. ALWAYS CRAZY ABOUT WOMEN. Mr and Mrs.

offense was drawn back to meet forward passes and onside kicks. It Is felt that under a 20-yard requirement the second: ary offense can come up sufficiently to protect the tackles with reasonable Proposed Plans to Help the Offense. Having made these six changes to throw safeguards around tho game, the committee took up a discussion of two plans for directing the Btylo of play and strengthening the offense sufficiently to balance the new opportunities for defense. The first plan contains two main features: (1) Limitation of the forward pass to territory behind the line of scrimmage; (2) Limitation of the width of scrimmage lines. These two provisions of Plan 1 cohere in a general design to make forward passes and quarterback runs better ground gainers by opening up the play and compensating for the weakness ot the offense in other ways.

Two schemes for defining the width of the scrimmage lines were proposed. One was an arbitrary limit of five yardB on each side of the ball; the other was limitation of the line of defense to the wldtn of the line of the defense. Everything that tends to thin out the line invites mass plays. By narrowing the line the committee hopes both to strengthen It. and thus make end runs more profitable.

Under this system, if the runner In circling the end was not stopped, almost before he got under 'way, he. could reach free territory at either side of the line of scrimmage, with a good chance of gaining ground. The main objection so far raised to this first plan ot limiting the forward pass and the width of the line, is that It may result In too much scoring. This will be determined by experiment. It Is probable that the distance to be gained will be raised to fifteen yards in three downs-, with a possibility that 'less distance will be required as the, goal line is reached, or that four downs instead of three will bo allowed, with the same gain required.

Second Plan' to Help Attack Is Not as Radical. The second general style of play under consideration provides for ten yards distance to be gained. The forward pass, under this plan-, would be allowed beyond the line of scrimmage, with the present requirement of running to either side, five yards from the center, and with the additional condition that on forward pauses the ball may be received only by the men on the end of the lines or by the backs. In cae of an uncompleted forward pass, the ball is to be brought back to the point at which the pass Is made, and the play is to be counted as one down. This loss of a down- is the only penalty attached, except that, tn ease the man who passed the ball had first carried It toward his own goal, the diBtance he.

ran backwards would be lost to his team. Such decrease In the penalty attached to ue of the forward paBS would operate, the committee feels, for greater use of the play. It -is also desired to afford protection ti the man receiving the ball yard HaB yard Ken 1 1 Imvi 1 I A most My Also I'm In I-ovo With One ot the Stars. What Am I Going Do to Make You I.ove Me?

At the beginning of the second and fourth quarters teams are to change goals, the ball being put in play at the same relative position, in which It was at the beginning of the preceding quar ter.

Many other points discussed, such as whether the kick-off shall be retained, and whether goals shall be kicked after touchdowns have boen 'made, were not settled. Decision on such details depends on the general style of play ultimately adopted. The committee was: Professor L. M. Dennis of Cornell, chairman; E.

The parents seemed quite willing to answer questions about their son and told quite frankly of his illegitimate birth in Dresden, righted by a mar riage performed two years ago. The father explained that shortly after nts son Dirtn no naa comv ftiuii. secured work and after a time married. His wife died, and two years ago he.sent for the mother of his boy and married her in Hoboken as soon as she arrived, taking her and their child, then sixteen, to the home they now occupy. "We haven't seen htm since November," the father Bald.

"I objected, then, to his Btaylng out so late at night, and he packed up his things and left. On my birthday he Bent me a card wishing me well, but that is the only thing we have heard from him until this." The father said that ho had never scnt his son to school; but' had gotten work for him in the Steinway factory. He worked a month or so, then threw up his job, and the father secured him another place with an oil firm on Waverley. place. The youth, he said, had stolen $18 from his employers and disappeared and was later arrested.

He paid back the money, he said, and secured the release ot his son. Since then, he said, he had nol known what his son did for a living. The parents knew nothing of the woman with whom tho son had been living, they said, except that she had formerly worked in Jungeman's bakery at Eighty-third street and Third avenue: They had seen her once with their son about a year ago, they said, and never saw her again until yesterday, when she came to their home' and told Mrs. Walter of hor son's arrest, and asked her to go to Yorkville Court for the hearing. Mrs.

Wolter went to court with thu young woman, she said, and at outside the railing while the son was being arraigned. She did not talk to him, she declared, but did talk for a minute with a lawyer who gave the name of N. Joseph Schlcklen. who said he was going to take the boy's case. After the hearing was over the girl and Mrs.

Wolter walked down Third avenue and Mrs. Wolter left the girl at Fifty-third 'street, the mother said. She asked the girl where she was going, she declnred. and was told was going to see some friemds on Fourteenth street. When the girl came, Mrs.

Wolter said, she carried, a parcel wrapped, in brown paper, which she declared contained a waiBt and apron she used to wear when she worked in the bakery. Tho glrl aaid she had gone to the bakery and asked to be taken back, but was refused. Mrs. Wolter said that she had no further appointment with the glrj with whom she had gone to court, did not know whore she was living and did not expect to see her again. She knew the girl only under the name of MilVr, she said.

The first the father knew of his son's arrest, he Baid, was yesterday morning, when a fellow workman showed him an account in a morning paper and had asked him if the arrested man was not his son. When asked if Ihcy feared arrest In connection With the i-ase. both parents declared their wllIlneneBB to tell all they know, and declared that.
