New York Police Think They Have
Solved Strfairon Mystery.

NEW YORK. Aug. 9e.-The police OF
this city believe they have solved the
mystery of the shooting en- Monday last
of Harold H. StTidiron. of Chicago, by
John H. Essen, who at the same time
he attempted TO murder Stridiron, shot
and killed himself.
At the time of the tragedy a Miss
Lillian Hayes friend Of the dead man.
claimed that a package of very yalua-
bic jewels had been taken by Essen and
had completely disappeared. The theory
of the police seems to be that in some
manner Stridiron became possessed OF
Miss Hayes jewelry, and that 1t was
during a quarrel at the return sof the
articles that the shooting took place.

mission. One was dated June 26 from
a point forty miles west of Kalgon. His
party included the Rev James H Rob-

What VIII BE the Outcome in That
Vast Country as Far
From Solution as
Ever.

LONDON, Aug. 81, 1920 a. m.-The Rus
so-Amerlcan surprise" as 1t is called, Is
the next chief feature of the morning
papers. While Russia's part in the pro
posal IS regarded with considerable sus-
picion. it Is generally recognized that the
flight of the empress dowager and the
emperor renders the situation extremely
difficult and therefore that it might be
wise to adopt the Russo-American pro-
gramme as the best solution of the prob
lem.
At the same time very strong feeling
is displayed in favor Of a more vigorous
line Of policy. The Daily Graphic says:
''The United States are almost morbidly
anxious to wash their hands Of the Chi
nese embarrassment. This has long been
apparent. But Is is rather surprising to
hear that their anxiety is shared by Rus
STA. with the possible exception of Ger
many, there is probably not another pow
er that would seriously object to the evac-
uation of Pekin."
The Daily Express and the Daily Chron-
icle protest against placing any reliance
upon the professions of Ii Hung Chang
or of the Chinese authorities.
The Daily News says: considering
that the empress dowager openly encour-
aged the attacks upon the foreigners, the
suggestion that the imperial personages
are to return to Pekin is rather startling
and the latest development of Russian di-
plomacy requires explanation at least"
