Fonder Where They Stand If Traction Company Cancels Contracts r" for This Servibe.

3$he Retail' Merchants' association lafct evening1 Issued a call for a meeto'clock Monday afternoon at l-'the- Chamber of Commerce to discuss ^the proposed plan o£ the Terre Haute, flhdianapolls & Eastern Traction comny to abandon its heating plant at

Cinth and Cherry Atreets. A few days ago the company gave published notice that it would surrender all heating contracts, and that the business of selling steam heat from the Ninth street plant would be abanoned. O Charles Stein, secretary of the merchants', association, said Saturday that threes-fourths of the merchants on the rifcth side of Wabash avenue froni fourth to Seventh streets will be ef/&cted by the plan, and will be compiled to install heating plants.

The merchants have had attorneys ijiyestigating the status of the present jiatrons of the company and. what *«powers the state public utilities comfmission would have in the matter as .o {requiring the company to continue ^he service. fihe traction officials have publicly gted that there is not sufficient patpronage to warrant the company continuing the service. It is said the case offers a new proposition to the state

Commission, and what will be the attitude of that body is said to be problematical. 'ijthe high price of coal is said to have all: such heating plants figuring how they ,can avoid- an enormous loss if ilfcey i continue to furnish service at sifr^thirig like, the present rates.

crowd stepped back, but the man hesitated, stopped. "I do not want to go In," he said. "Send someone to tell me about it."

He 6tood in the street, staring at the red sign on the glass basement window.

Identified by Father.

Police Inspector Cray came from beside the body lying on the cellar floor and discussed it in detail to Cruger, who made no sign until the inspector .mentioned the character of the clothing, the watclT and the Wadleigh high school ring found on the left little finger. "Oh, my God, that's my daughter," he exclaimed as the inspector stopped. He started forward, reeled and would have collapsed had not' the inspector1 caught him.

Singularly enough, John Spitler. the man who saw Cocchi coming from the cellar shop about midnight of the day the girl disappeared, was the man who unearthed her body today. The suspicion that the girl was buried beneath the shop has always been strong in his mind, he said. Police and private detectives had searched every foot of the cellar over and over. They had dug it up In many place®.

Plan to Try Suspect.

Immediately upon being notified of the find, District Attorney Swann said efforts would be made to have Cocchi returned to thJs country.- Under ItaiHEtn law, the evidence. must be taken to Italy if Cocchi is held for the girl's murder, and the 'trial held there.

Police Commissioner Woods was out of town when the body was found, but was reached by telegram and immediately returned to New York.

Personally taking charge of the investigation, Woods got in touch with the state department at Washington and after talking with government officials over the long distance telephone, cabled to the Italian authorities to hold Cocchi, now in Bologna.

Mrs. Cocchi was taken to detective headquarters and: questioned. Six others, all friends of Cocchi, were also closely questioned.. Among these is Victor Blady of Bdgemer*, N- said by the authorities to have been Cocchfs closest friend.

The police had Cocchi under detention in connection' with the girl's disappearance once questioned him, and with the girl's body burled in the cellar of'his shops, unknown to .them, let him go, shortly afte(r which Cocchi disappeared. His wife denied ..knowing where he had gone. It was only a few weeks ago that he turned up in his native town, Bologna, Italy, and opened a repair shop. Oocchi, questioned there, said he got tired of his wife's nagging and went back to his native land.
