ATLANTIC CITY. N. J Dec. 9. The
body of Billy Danzy was concealed at
some other point, there reduced to a
skeleton before It was carried to the
Kolsom swamp, where It was found
by George Eckhardt, a Hammonton
hunter, November 21. six weeks after
the boy disappeared. The metal parts
of the child's clothing" found strewn
about the skeleton were not even
tarnished. The spot where the skele
ton was discovered had - been trav
ersed by detectives between October
8. when the child vanished, and the
day it was found. Examination of
the clothing- by experts, under strong
glasses, showed it had not been ex
posed to the weather for any extended
period.
II and Woman Accused.
These were the most significant
statements gleaned tonight from
Prosecutor Edmund C. Uaskill, Jr., of
Atlantic county, at whose Instance
Charles 8. White, well-known Dahlia
farmer, son of Edward White, head
of the Law and Order society and a
former member of the common coun
cil of Hammonton, and Mrs. Edith
Jones, his housekeeper, were taken
Into custody last night in connection
with the boy's death. White is
charged with murder and the woman
is charged with being an accessory
after the fact.
Mr. Gaskill refused absolutely to
reveal the method, by which he ex
poets to prover Billy met his death.
The nearest admission was his state
ment: "It's a very sad case sad for the
Danzys and sad for the White fam
ily." Later he said:
"It's a puzzle to me why people
Won't come out and tell the truth.
I can't understand why they should
make the terrible mistake- of holding
things back."
This was a general statement, but
came after Mr. Gaskill had been
asked if any confessions had been
made today; if the boy had been
killed by gunshot wounds by accident
when the weapon was discharged at
his dog and the boy threw himself in
front of his pet to save it from in
jury, or whether death had come from
a kick or a blow on the head with
a stone.
Solution Believed Found.
Prosecutor Gaskill tonight refused
to affirm or deny the reports that
his detectives had found their first
lead under the floor of a barn on the
- White farm. Asked if he did not think
the statement of Mrs. Susanne White
was significant, he said: "Well, a
guilty conscience usually talks."
Mrs. White told reporters Bhe was
Under arrest and the only reason she
was not taken with the two now in
jail was because of her illness and
that of her two children. Her hus
', band. John White, corroborated this.
Mr. Gaskill said he would not deny
or affirm these statements. His
answer was the same concerning other
- arrests reported pending.
The prosecutor and his men are
tsatisfied they have the solution of the
baffling mystery in their hands.
"Is your evidence enough now to
obtain indictments?" Mr. Gaskill was
askvd.
"I can think of no more serious
charge than murder. This has been
lodged against Charles S. White, Mrs.
Jones is in jail on the charge of be
ing an accessory after the fact. We
are. not arresting people for fun," he
replied.

Bradstreet Statement Shows Rise of
1.3 Per Cent In Month, 131 Per
Cent Over Pre-War Level.
NEW YORK, Dec. 9. The cost of
living' as based on 90 staple commo
dities, advanced 1.3 per cent during
the last month and now stands at 131
per cent above the pre-war level, or
the highest ever known, according to
figures made public today by Brad-
treets.
Textiles, provisions and groceries
constitute the bulk of the commodi
ties.
The basis of the computation is
the total wholesale price of a pound
f each of the articles Included. This
total was J20.17656 on December 1.
which was eight-tenths of 1 per cent
above the previous high level of Au

It is an advance of 6.1 per cent over
December 1, 1918, three weeks after
the armistice was signed; 14 per cent
over December 1, 1917, and 131 per
cent over August 1, 1914.
There were increases from Novem
ber 1 to December 1 last in 46 of the
commodities. Building materials

Price advances In England have
been much greater than in the United

East Commences to Take Notice of
Oregon Beauty Spots, Ora
tor Tells Audience.
EUGENE,' Or., Dec. 9. (Special.)
An audience that crowded the armory
last night attended the lecture by
Frank Branch Riley of Portland and
viewed the picture! used in Mr.
Riley's publicity tour of the east last
summer. After the lecture Mr. Riley
was guest at a luncheon given by the
chamber of commerce, of which he is
an honorary member.
Illustrating the value of tourists to
a country, Mr. Riley declared tnat
Pike's Peak was worth 150,000.000 a
year to the citizens of Colorado. He
said he .had once attended a picnic
given in Los Angeles, Cal., by 40.000
ex-residents of Iowa and had learned
that 98 per cent of them first went
to California as tourists.
Mr. Riley declared that the east had
exhibited the most profound ignorance
of the west, but the easterners were
beginning to take an interest in west
ern affairs. On .the cast coast, he
said, they consider Pittsburg the far
west, and know nothing ox the land
beyond.
"With scenery that is mud compared
with that of Oregon," said Mr. Riley.
Colorado shows 'em Pike s Peak and
takes 50,000,000 a year away from
them. No, it isn't taking It away, for
thev give it up freely and gladly. The
tourist is the freest spender on earth.
'In Oregon, God has done nis
choicest work of creation. He nas
brought his efforts here to the super
lative. And my observations have
convinced me that the tourist is not
