IDENTIFIED AS
ROSA ENGBERG
DEAD GIRLS BODY CLAIMED
BY HER MOTHER
coRoNER'S JURY FINDS DEATH
WAS ACCIDENTAL
Decedent Was in the Habit Of Taking
Long Walks and Obviously Was
Struck by a Passing
Car

Mrs. F. Engberg, 346S Lander street,
Los Angeles, yesterday visited the
morgue of the Alhambra Furniture ana
Undertaking company, at AIhamprd,
and identitied and claimed the body OIL
the young woman who was round lying
on the railroad tracks near DolgeVliIe
Sunday morning as that OF her daugh7
ter, Miss Rosa Engberg.
According to the story told by the
mother, Miss Engberg had been in Ill
health for some time. She frequently
took car rides into the country ana
would walk back to her home, believ-
ing the exercise beneficial. The young
woman left her home Saturday morn
ing for a ride into the country. She
was given money by her mother, ana
left in a cheerful mood. That was the
last time her mother saw her alive.
There were several theories adj
vanced as to the circumstances sur
rounding Miss Engberg's death. Be
cause of the absence of money in her
purse it was thought probable she mad
been held UP by trampS, murdered, ana
her body placed on the track to hide
evidence of the crime. Then it was
supposed she had been taken in an
automobile to the spot where she was
found, drugged and placed where she
would be struck by the train. These
theories have been dissipated, however,
by the statement of the girls mother
who is convinced her daughter decided
to return home on foot and was walk
ing along the railroad track when
struck. The absence of money in the
girls purse is thought to be due to the
fact that she had expended her FUNDS
some time previous to the accident.
The theory of suicide also was scout
ed by persons who were acquainted
with Miss Engberg. They say she was
a modest, refined girl of excellent char
acter, and perfectly rational: and that
to suppose suicide would be ridiculous
At an inquest held yesterday after
noon the coroner's jury rendered YER
dict Of accidental death.

FAMILY BROKEN UP,
MAN KILLS DAUGHTER
HIS SON, A PASTOR, ALSO FA-
TALLY INJURED
tBy Associated Press,l

NEW YORK. Nov. 24.-Realizing that
his home was about to be broken up
because of his actions, Carl Loose, a
baker, today shot and killed his daugh-
ter, Mela, aged II, and probably IA
tally wounded his son Frederick, pas
tor of a Lutheran church at Yale, S. D.
Loose is under arrest and his 10
year-old son, John, who disarmed his
father after two shots had been fired,
is held as a witness.
Frederick had recently come to New
York with his young wife, having been
urged by his mother TO aid her in
retaining his father, who, she wrote,
had been drinking heavily and neglect
ing her for more than year.
The efforts of the son were unavail-
ing, as had been those of the wife,
and yesterday when Loose fatty de-
clined to contribute anything toward
the support of his wife and daughter,
a permanent breaking up of the family
was decided upon.
The mother and Mela were to ac-
company Frederick to Yale, S. D.,
where they would make their home
with him.
Loose remained away from home all
night, returning while the family was
at breakfast. Without a word the
elder Loose pulled a revolver from his
overcoat and began to shoot. Mela fell
at the first shot with a bullet through
her breast She died instantly.
A second shot struck Frederick in
the abdomen, as he was graphing with
his father, and he fell unconscious.
Before another shot could be fired
John sprang upon his father and
wrenched the weapon from him and
held him until the police came to take
him into custody
Frederick was rushed to a hospital,
but the physicians say there is only
a slight chance he will recover.

facturers and merchants of Germany,

sire to carry out his imperial duties
with benefit to the fatherland.
The chairman of the commercial
committee, Privy Councillor Wirth, in
addressing the delegates, said the re-
cent misunderstanding between the
emperor and the people had been en-
tirely dispelled by his majesty's self
repression and his spontaneous acts
had proved that he was animated by
the highest ideals for the good of his
people.

repeated cheers for the emperor.

Russia in ouandary

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov 24-The
foreign Office here is frankly puzzled
in the matter of what course it shall
pursue in the Persian situation. 1t
agrees with Great Britain that Vigor-
Gus measures should be adopted to
force the shah to restore the constitu-
ton without which normal order can
not be re-established in the Azerbaijan
province. An interchange of views now
is proceeding with the hope of reach
ing an effective method of exerting
pressure on the shah. The impression
is gaining ground in non-official circles
that the people of Persia may cut the
Gordian knot by effeeting a change of
sovereigns. There is no hope for i'm
provement on the part Of the present
officials.
