Criminal Who Maltreated and Mur dered 8-Year-Old Girl Not Lo eated Crime Done by Man From llio Neighborhood. New York. Aug. 2.Wlth Annie Messner In tha Tombs, held without ball, and with Gaetano Rlppolono end Guleraeppe Bonfante under bonds as witnesses, police search fcr tho crimiral who maltreated and murdereo 8-year-old Katie Lleshicr was directed to-night toward . the finding of a man generally known as ' Jake." The last nam of in-; man was not revealed. They know that Jake was so well acquainted with the girl as to have her confidence. They knew he was fami'iar with the tenement at No. 203 First avenue. He was known to the Messner woman and to the (hoemaker, Rlppalont;, who ara'hvhl lu connection with the crime. They huve learned that he has not I'em seen in the neighborhood cf urn crime elnCe Thursday, whn the Ciilld was lured or, carried Into ihe dark ccilar. Hie description corresponds with that of a man who, with a woman na seen coaxing a child ti con taue with him at the street station of the subway. tney will place the man in cus'ody In a few hours. The man, Jake, they said to-night, Is of foreign birth and is about 30 years old. He Is dark complexloned and- has a small black moustache. He has been known around the neighborhood as long as the Messner woman. There Is no -positive evidence against the man, the .police admit. nor as a matter of fact, is there any thing against the Messner woman. The polec theory that the murderer was known to the child and must have known the place to which ne or some other person took her la responsible for all action so far. No stranger, they say, could have lured the 8-year-old girl into a dark hallway and it would have been Im possible for a seizure to have taken place on the sidewalk. First avenue is a very crowded thoroughfare around Thirteenth street at all hours. In view of all this the police declared to-night they had no Idea that the perpetrator or any of the other crimes against children In tho elty had anything to do with this. The man guilty came from the neighborhood and may be within a a stone's throw of the Bcena to-day, they have decided. rf GYPSIES HAD MUCH MONEY.

Aug. 2. F. W. Ste vens, aenerai solicitor tor me rcre Marquette Railroad, has sent a letter to C. L. Glasgow, State commissioner ot railroads, announcing In behalf of Receiver Harmon and the road's stockholders that the Pere Marquette wlM not contest the recently enacted 2-cent fare law. The law goes Into effect September 28. Mr. Stevens says in his letter that the desire to abide by the public sen timent In Michigan in favor of a 2 -cent rate outweighs the "well grounded belief of the management that such a rate is unreasonable low in Mich igan when applied practically to all roads, without reference to passenger earnings or territory reached." The letter says further that the 2 cent rate is accepted in the hope that the Increased patronage predicted by Oovernor Warner and commissioner Glasgow will be realized and that in the "distant futare," the net earnings may permit a fair .return in dividends upon the value of the property used in paasenger service.
