HUSBAND SUSPECTED
OF KILLING HIS WIFE
Body of Woman Found in
Sewer Identified As That d
of Mrs. Ebelt

Mount Vernon, n. Y, July 2S.-Mar-
tin Ebelt, also known as Scheafer,
husband of the young woman whose
body was found in sewer on the out
skirts of the city, where it had been
thrown after she had been strangled
to death, was brought to Mount Yer
non by Chief OF Police Foley from
White Plains, where he was arrested.
His arrest followed the identification
of the body of his wife by her step
father, Gottfried Eichel. Ebelt is a
lineman and was at work when ar
rested.
Ebelt and his wife lived until last
Friday with the lineman's mother,
not far from where the body was
found. Eichel positively identified
the dead woman as his stepdaughter,
and gave the police oil the informa.
ton in his power. On Friday even
ing Mrs. Ebelt left home, ostensibly
to go to work for a family about a
mile from her home. Her husband
left the house with her, saying that
he would accompany her to her desti
nation. Neither the woman nor hel
husband gave any explanation Of hel
departure from home. Two hours
later Ebelt, or Schaefer, returned
Mrs. Ebelt never reached her desti
nation and was never seen at hel
home again.
The police have succeeded in trac
ing Ebelt and his wife almost to thu
spot where the body was found, an'
have evidence that they were los
sight of within 800 yards of the place
According to a younger brother of tn
prisoner Ebelt returned alone, AM
was perspiring freely.

PRINTING TRADES
co OVER MILLER CASE
Long Discussion Over Rein
statement of Foreman in
Government Office

Washington, July 2S.-There was a
graphical Hall of the situation arising
over the reinstatement of w. A. Miller.
the assistant foreman of the bindery
in the government printing Office, who
had been discharged because he had
been expelled from the Bookbinders'
Union. The meeting was attended by
two representatives Of the Interna-
tional Bookbinders' Brotherhood. by
the presidents and secretaries Of the
various allied organizations represented
in the government printing Office. and
also by President Gompers and Secre-
tary Morrison, of the American FEEDER
ation Of Labor After the meeting the
statement was made that no definite
action of any character had been taken
and that the time had been consumed
in discussion. No time was set for an
other meeting, and it is stated that
the present preference is to wait for a
time to see what action Public Printer
Palmer will take in the case Of Miller,
against whom charges of unfitness
have been preferred.
Aside from the immediate interest
aroused in the matter by Miller's rein
statement, the members of the various
organizations represented say they re-
alize that there is a broader aspect to
the whole case They feel that the
presidents ruling in Miller's case prac-
tically makes the government printing
office an "open" shop. in which man
or woman may be employed whether
members of any union or not. They
are very anxious that the chief execu-
tive find some way in which his ruling
may be modified so that this condition
Of affairs will not arise.
