Detroit. April 1.-THE battered and
lifeless body of George ii. Haywood
head bookkeeper at the Michigan

daylight Thursday morning within

'sweat box examination failed to
bring from him any damaging admis-

corted TO police headquarters at noon
and closedly examined, was permitted
to return to her home at night. Later
Mrs. Haywood sent for the police and
told them she was just coming out
of hypnotic spell, into which she
had been cast by Jones, whom the
police hold for her husbands muir

Jones presence she was not response

Heywood's murderer first shot him
and then crushed in his forehead

bullet took effect behind his right ear

The murderer apparently then
stopped over his victim and dealt
him an awful blow on the forehead.

BRITISH LABOR COMMISSION
RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT

President Roosevelt today received the
members of the British labor commission
who are making a tour OF the United
States as the guest of Alfred Morley, the
British philanthropist. After greeting the
members of the party, the president said
Il am delighted to have the pleasure of
meeting you gentlemen and Mr.. Marks.
have had communication with Mr.. Marks
on more than one question leading up to
the coal strike. Naturally like any man
who has anything to do with public af-
fairs, | not only take, but am bound to
take the. very deepest interest in all the
manifold social problems which include as
one section what we group together as
the labor problem. AS industrial progress
goes on there is tendency to work OF
federation or combination both among en,-
ployers and among employees, in corpora
tions and in unions and, of course, gen
tlemen, among the reasons why | take
very great interest in these combina-
tions is the very fact that by their power
they have such great possibilities for good
which necessarily implies that they have
also great possibilities for evil Whether
you wish them or not, it is idle, in my
opinion, to protest against the inevitable
tendency of the times against corporation
and union. 1t is worse than folly to take
exceptions to either corporation or union
as such. The line should be drawn on
conduct
Il greet you with all heartiness and am
delighted to see you."
