REFORMERS PROBE
MYSTERIOUS DEATH
Girls and Men to Number OF
Twenty Have Died in
Fatal Room"

CHICAGO, Aug. ADMINISTRATION OF
sudden and unexplained deaths which
have occurred in a room in a resort In
West Hammond. a suburb, will begin
today.
The investigation Is the result of ex-
posures of alleged vice and graft made
by Miss Virginia Brooks, leader of a
reform crusade in the village. Miss
Brooks alleges that Esther Harrison
and John Messmaker, whose deaths the
coroner will investigate, died from pois.
on. The other victims, 1t is intimated
met the same fate.
Murder never was suspected until ar
investigation was begun August IA, as
a result of the death of Messmaker
who was a wealthy contractor
The inquiry came to a startling end
last night with the discovery that a
young woman had been the latest vic.
tim of the place. and had been sur.
reptitiously removed from the room
and at midnight buried in the West
Hammond Cemetery.
Needle punctures on Messmaker's
arm gave the first clue in the gathering
of the evidence. Similar marks were
found on the Harrison girls arm.
1t is alleged that in the past ter
years twenty. persons have died in the

LATEST BATTLESHIP
WILL BE LARGEST
The Pennsylvania Expec ed to Be
Sensation in Matter of Fight
ing Machines.

Tentative plans for the construction OF
the battleship Pennsylvania, authorized
by Congress a few days ago, call for
vessel calculated to prove a sensation in
the matter of fighting machine. This
vessel will not only be the biggest and
most formidable war vessel ever under
taken, but the speedfest of all battle
ships. The fact it is to carry twelve
,fourteen-inch guns and a water-line
armor protection OF sixteen inches
thickness has made it necessary to de-
sign a ship exceptionally long, in order
that her beam shall not be too wide for
safe passage through the Panama
Canal
The pennsylvania will have but
ninety-five-foot beam, but a length OF
$50 feet, fifty-five feet longer than the
Oklahoma, and the speed will be In
creased from the Oklahoma's 90.50 knots
to twenty-three or twenty-four knots
1t will have a displacement of 3l,OOC
tons.

Unusual Tribute to Fellow

: an unusual tribute paid during the de-
bate on the conference report on the
postoffice appropriation bill, Congress.
man Norris, a Nebraska Rpublican,
urged Speaker Clark to appoint the
Maryland man to a place on the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Norris said that Mr.. Lewis prob
ably knows more about the parcels post
and the express business than any man
in the United States. Mr.. Lewis is a
new member of the House. and has
made a study for years of the problem
of transportating packages by express
and mail.
Speech Is Cheered.
The postoffice bill authorizes the es-
tablishment of q parcels post on the
zone system, but provides also for the
creation of joint committee of the two
houses to Investigate and report on the
subject. The membership of this special
committee probably will be drawn from
the Senate and House Postoff1ce Com
mittees, but the House cheered enthu-
siastically when Mr.. Norris asked that
precedents be waived and that Mr..
Lewis have a place.
Mr.. Norris said
Mr.. Speaker. this bill provides, as
agreed upon by the conferees, for tbs
appointment of several commissions.
One of these, perhaps the most impor'
tant, is a commission consisting o'
three members of the Senate and three
members Of the House, to investigate
the question of parcels post, the rates
and the zones, and the other provIs.
ions of the bill relating to that sub
ject. The three members of the Hous:
are, by the provisions of this confer
ence report, 70 be appointed by the
Speaker.

Now. Mr.. Speaker, 1 know that the
custom has long existed that to Al
places Of this kind the Speaker should
take the commission from the members
of the Postoffice Committee. There are
other commission provided for where
there Is no doubt but that by following
the rule the Speaker would not only fol
low the precedents, but would satisfy
all the membership of the House. But
we have in this House one member who
upon the question of parcels post ant
express rates, is perhaps the best ex'
pert in the United States, If not in the
World.
HE has made a study for fifteen o.
twenty years of this question, until h,

George w. Goethals, who at the time
1t took place was an instructor in en-
cheering at West Point.
One day. in recitation, he gave out
this question to class of cadets:
"The post fagpole, sixty feet high
has fallen down. You are ordered by
your commanding officer to put it up
again. You have under your command
a sergeant and ten privates Of the en-
g1neer corps. How would you get the
pole back into placer"
Each cadet, after long consideration
and much figuring over the derricks
blocks, tackle and SO on, evolved a
different method.
NO." said Goethals, you are all
wrong. You would simply say: Ser
geant, put up that iagpole!'"
