GHASTLY FIND 1MADE BY TWO

LITTLE GIRLSBy Means of Clothing Body Is

Identified as That of MissRay Kaiser

Features Had Become Unrecog*nizable Through Action of

Carbolic Acid

Hidden in a ravine that runs downthe cliffs along Land's end near Goldengate the body of Miss Ray Kaiser, forwhom the family and the police havebeen searching since last Tuesmorning, when she disappeared from Iher home, i<A'j Leavenworth street, wasdiscovered by two little girls. MaryDeckow and Marie Franklin, yesterdayafternoon.

Miss Kaiser had taken carbolic acid,which had rendered her features un-recognizable, identification being madeby the clothing and effects of theyoung woman.

Corporal William D, O'Keefe of theRichmond station was notified and theremains were removed to an undertak-ing parlor in Sutter street. GeorgeKeane. attorney for the family, wasalso notified and he hastened to thescene, where he identified the body asthat of Miss Kaiser.

Under the remains were found herhat, a purse and the empty carbolic,acid bottle, with no label. No noteexplaining the cause of her act wasfound on the body.

A LONELY SCION n? The spot selected by Miss Kaiser toend her life is but a short way fromSuicides' point, overlooking the Goldengate. She picked out a place whereshe was not likely to be found, for aheavy underbrush covers the ravineon each side, and the body was ob-scured from the view of those whofrequent the path leading down to thebeach from Land's End station by thisbrush.

When George Kaiser, a brother ofthe dead woman, w.ts informed of thefinding of his sister's body he was inconference with his attorney regarding

an increase of the reward for her re-covery to $300 and arranging for amore thorough search of Golden Gatepark and beach along the harbor en-trance.

The aged parents, who are pros-trated with grief over her long ab-

have not been notified of the

fate of their daughter. They had

abandoned all hope of ever seeing heralive again.

TJiIOATIOD AT «\>ATOBIIMKiss Kaiser was 35 years of age. and

was born in Stockton. Some monthsago she suffered a nervous breakdownand was taken to a sanatorium for

treatment. After her return to herhome, some weeks since, she had beendespondent, and on several occasionssaid would like to take the place

of some person whom she heard wasdead. Her home life was happy, noromance clouded her life, and the sui-cide is attributed to her mental condi-tion.

That she carefully planned the deedIs Indicated by the statement of Con-ductor Hannigan of the Californiastreet line, who said that Miss Kaiser

rode out to Land End last Tuesday

afternoon on his car. carrying a bottle,

together with her parse She expressed

a desire to get down to the bottom ofside's Leap, but was informed that

she could not go down there.She left her home last Tuesday morn-

ing, as was noted exclusively in TheCall Wednesday morning. That night

her brothers, George Kaiser of LodiatA Alex Kaiser of Sacramento, cameto The city to enlist the detectives in asearch. Golden Gate park was goneover, and a close watch made along

the beach, but no trace of Miss Kaisercouid be found, and had not the little?girls run across the body accidentally

it might not have been found formonths.

The inquest will be held tomorrowmorning at Halsted & Co.'s undertak-ing parlors.

Iafter his trip abroad, with a smile ofsatisfaction on his face,'' said Scott.

Scott took a rap at the present stateadministration, which, he declared, istrying to build a machine around Cali-fornia and also about Washington.

"For a man who really is just cut-ting his political eye teeth Francis J.Heney is most bold In denouncing theTaft men as pirates," said Scott.
