LOOKING INTO BEEF COMBINE
Winston Churchill investigating
Efforts of Americans to Control
British Market.

LONDON. July 15.-Pressed to take some
action to prevent the American beef COM
bine from obtaining control Of the retail
beef trade in Great Britain. Winston
Churchill, president of the board of trade.
today informed Lord Robert Cecil in the
House of that the operations of
the six firms constituting the beef COM
bine were receiving the careful attention of
the government. Mr.. Churchill said that
his Investigations thus far had not con-
WINGED him of the necessity of appointing
a House of Commons committee of in
quiry.
Premier Asquith today received a depu-
tation OF representatives of the meat trade,
who asked the government to remove the
embargo on live cattle from Scandinavia
and appoint a committee to inquire into
the general question of the supply of meat
cattle to Great Britain. The premier was
very sympathetic in his reply and asked
for time so that he might consult with his
colleagues. He appeared to favor the adj
mission of live cattle where it could be
safely done. The meeting was in private,

persons nave been found who say they saw
the girl here. The suit case was checked
in the Union Square station at 149 p. m,
July I, but unfortunately the clerk who
was in charge Of the check room at that
time is i'll and cannot be questioned. The
necessity of having the clerk describe the
person or persons who checked the suit
case are so great that an effort will have
to be made tomorrow to have detectives
admitted to his room so that he can look
at a picture of Hazel Drew. If it turns out
that the girl did not check the case and a
man left 1t at the check room, a great
step toward unraveling the mystery will
have been taken.
Equally important will be the discovery
that If the girl checked the case, If she was
accompanied by a male companion.

but the members of the deputation ex,
pressed themselves as being hopeful that
the eventual removal of the embargo on
Canadian cattle is not impossible.
The meat trade in general urged the
admission of Scandinavian cattle, because
the government has steadily refused to re-
move the embargo on Canadian cattle, but
1t is now hoped from Premier Asquith's
sympathetic attitude that the government
may eventually be induced to admit Cana
dian cattle. 1t is understood, however, that
Lord Darlington, president of the board OF
agriculture is strongly opposed to this and
nothing is likely to be done for some time.

Perhaps a more sensational and thrilling

TEAL POND MURDER MYSTERY
Suit Case of Dead Girl Found In
CheckrOom at Union station
In Troy.

TROY, N. Y, July 15.-What is con-
sidered the most important point yet de-
veloped in the Teal pond murder mystery
case came into possession OF the police late
today, when County Detective Kaye found
the suit case which Hazel Drew carried the
day before she was murdered, and for
which the police have been conducting an
exhaustive search. From articles found in
the suit case 1t is established. the police
say, that Hazel Drew did rot intend to go
TO Averill park on the day she was muir
dered, and the startling theory is advanced
that she was murdered In Troy and taken
either by carriage or automobile to Teal
pond, where her body was cast into the
stagnant waters.
There is much to bear out this theory
and 1t appears that the authorities are
nearing a solution of the mystery. In the
first place the murdered girls black leather
handbag containing all of her money ex-
except 5 cents, was found in the suit case.
The fare to Averill park, which is near
Teal pond, is 20 cents. While this find
was made In Troy, detectives at Teal pond
found a glove which was worn by the
girl and in the finger of 1t was a 5-cent
piece. Conductors on all of the trolley
cars running to Averill have been closely
questioned and not one has been found
who remembers seeirg Hazel Drew on his
car. 1t would have been next to impossible
for the girl to have ridden to the park on
a trolley car and not have been recognized.
Linking those facts together the police
conclude that the girl met some one In
Troy, either on Tuesday afternoon or ever
ing and that the murder took place in that
city or near it. Following up this line of
investigation, detectives are endeavoring
to trace every step Of the girl while she
was IN Troy on July 6. The recovery of the
suit case establishes beyond doubt that she
