A theory that the murder may have been committed by tramps and the victims, a mother and children picnicking in the woods, is discounted by the Sheriff in the absence of anybody missing within neighborhood distance. As a result of finding a copy of The Ore gonian near the woman's, grave a message has been sent to Portland asking the police there to start an inquiry for missing persona in that city. Chief Cusack has a recollection of a man named F.uchanan rushing into his office last Summer and telling. about a man. woman and two children going across Hawk's Prairie and adding that all were quarreling among themselves. Mr. Cusack says he might know Buchanan, but has no idea of his whereabouts. The body of the unidentified woman was found by F. A. Smith and his son Walter while they were returning from a hunting trip near Nisqually. They came upon a peculiar looking mound of dirt and brush, which, upon examination, revealed a shallow grave. The body of the wo.ian was then ex humed and the officers were notified. The police say there is no doubt but dren. and the original theory that the that the victims are mother and chll woman was formerly a frequenter of a Tacuma dance hall has been cast aside.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4. Charging big "cross order" sales of liberty bonds by income tax dodgers, with transactions in one day of 140.000,000, Assistant District Attorney Brogan In a report to the County District Attorney today urged the need of an Inquiry by the Stock Exchange to ascertain the names pf wealthy men suspected of thus caus ing the decline In the prices of the war securities sharply below par.
