Jefferson City. Mo. Especially :
Coroner o. E. Amos, of Cole County,
held an inquest over the body of
Miss Anna Wendler, which was found
in the Missouri River He examined
witnesses on the theory that the
young woman was murdered.
Examination of the body showed
that the young woman was choked

flesh of her neck and was at first
thought to be her watch chain, as
her gold watch was attached to the
end OF ii. William Wendler, a broth
er. says Anna had a watch and that
she would not have been wearing
wire for that purpose.
The state will offer a $500 reward
for the capture and conviction of the
murderer and an equal or larger
sum will be offered by Wendler. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict
that Miss Wendler, who was so
years old, came to her death at the

woman. According to the coroner.

A THRILLING VOYAGE
IN zEPPEL|N'S FLYER
Airship Deutschland Now Lying
on Top of a Forest.

Dusseldorf, Germany (SpeciaD =
Count Zeppelin's passenger airshir
Deutschland, the highest developed
of all the famous aeronaut's models,
lies on the top OF the Teutoburgian
forest pierced with pine-tree stems,
a mass of Debated silk and twisted
aluminium. The 33 persons aboard,
after a wild contest with storm,
escaped uninjured, climbing down a
rope ladder from the wreck on the
pine tops. Herr Colesmann, general
manager of the new airship com
pany; Chief Engineer Duerr, of the
Zeppelin Company, and Captain
Kannenberg, who personally had
charge of the crew of 10, and 20
newspaper men sailed from Dussel-
dorf at $50 A VI. for a three-hour
excursion.
The objective point was bort
mund, about 35 miles from Dussel-
dorf, but a high head of wind pre-
vailed and an effort was made to
reach Munster, garrison town, Sc

the parade ground by the aid of the
soldiers, and it was realized that 1t
would require a large number of
them to hold the vast contrivance
of silk and metal against the wind.
4 Motor Fails.
1t was dangerous to attempt
landing in an open field because of
the storm, as the metal was likely
to pound to pieces. In the high
wind one of the motors refused to
work and the other two were not
powerful enough to make any prog
ress in the gale.
The airship drifted, swaying in the
violent gusts and sometimes leaning
to an angle of 20 degrees, and all
the while the enginemen were at
work repairing the disabled motor.

Colesman did not dare to turn

A BIG RAILROAD
STRIKE IS FEARED
The Situation on the Southern
Roads Serious.
MEDIATORS ARE WORKING OVERTIME.
An All-Day Conference OF The Presi-
dents OF Is Companies With
Knapp And Neill Brings No Re-
sults-The Officials Firm And The
Employees Determined To Have
Higher Wages - The Situation
Very Acute.

Washington, D. c. Especially -
Within a few days it will probably
be known whether the entire South
eastern section of the country east
of the Mississippi will be involved
in serious railroad strike The
presidents of 13 railroad lines were
hastily called into consultation with
Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and Commits
sioner of Labor Neill. and stayed in
session all day. The situation is
admitted on all sides to be acute.
The situation grows out of a con-
troyersy between the Southern Rail-
way. the Seaboard Air Line and the
Atlantic Coast Line and their afiliat-
ed lines, including the Queen And
Crescent Road, and their conductors
and brakemen. The latter have de-
manded a material advance in wages
approximating 20 per cent. They
nave already taken a vote to strike
unless their demands are complied
with.
About two weeks ago the general
manager of the roads and the repre-
sentatiyes of the conductors and
brakemen agreed TO submit their diff
ferences to Chairman Knapp and
commissioner of Labor Neill, the
mediators under the Erdman Act.
the terms of which act provided for
the settlement. of disputes between
common carriers and their employees.
Hearings have been given to the rep
resentative of the men, some 200 in
number, and the 10 general mana
gers. Harvey Barker, general mana
ger OF the Queen and Crescent, being
the chairman of the managers COM
mittee.
Practically no Roadway was made,
the railroad managers asserting that
their earnings would not allow of
the increase demanded. The men
were obdurate, and it appeared that
break would occur, and the rep
resentatives of the conductors and
brakemen would send kilograms or
dering the men to walk out.
At this juncture it was decided to
call in the presidents of the roads,
and this was done. President Fin
ley of the Southern Railway; Presi-
dent Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast
Line. and President Medium, of the
Seaboard Air Line-the chief lines
and the presidents of the other lines
were in conference with the Media
ton Board all day. and it appears
that little progress was made, and
that unless one side or the other
makes concessions the entire south
eastern section of the country will be
involved in a serious strike
The men have urged that, mas
much as the conductors and other
trainmen on Northern and Eastern
lines have received increases. it is
only right they should receive the
same treatment, view of the in
creased cost of living.
While neither side will discuss
the situation. it is known that.
though the medators admit that it
is serious. they have not vet given
up hope of bringing the two sides
together and avoiding a strike.
