A ST. LOUIS MYSTERY OWED
North Dakota Couple Slain on
Island in River.

St. Louis-On a foundation of cir
cumstantial evidence the police Of
Venice, III, ten miles north of here,
have built the theory that the
man and woman whose bodies were
found floating in the Mississippi River
at st. Louis two weeks ago were Mr..
and Mrs. Charles S. Washam of Fargo,
n. D., and that the couple had been
murdered while camping on Cabaret
Island, opposite Venice.
A fisherman recently accidentally
discovered the ruins of the camp,
which gave the first clew to possible
Identification of the bodies. A tent
blown down by the wind, several
pieces of a mans and woman's wear
ing apparel, an alarm clock, a cook
ing outfit and other equipment strewn
about the seldom inhabitated island,
indicated that the recently established
camp was deserted hurriedly.
Lately the marriage license Of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles g. Washam Of North
Dakota, together with several post
cards addressed to the couple, were
found on the scene. 1t was also re-
called that the bodies taken from the
river were partially clad, and that the
clothes found on Cabaret Island were
of a size fitting the couple.

BRITISH SEEING OIL SHIPS
England is Making Effort to Cut Off
Fuel Supply for German
War Machines.

Washington.-Grea Britain's deter
mination to keep from Germany car
goes of Illuminating oil which might
be turned into fuel for army motor
trucks, as we'll as for Zeppelins and
aeroplanes, is responsible for the seiZ-
ure of American oil steamers by cruis-
ers.
This fact was developed in confer
ences in connection with the State De
partment's request, through Ambassa-
dor Page at London, for the release of
the American steamer, Rockefeller.
President Wilson and Counselor Ian
sing, acting secretary of state, dis
cussed the seizure of the ships and
later Mr.. Lansing conferred with the
British ambassador. Sir Cecil Spring
Rice, who called seeking information
concerning the attitude of the Ameri-
can government.
The Standard Oil Company has
asked the State Department to obtain
the release of three of its ships, the
John D. Rockefeller, Brindilla and
Platura, which were captured by Brit
ish warships while bound from Ameri-
can ports to neutral countries, carry
ing Illuminating oil. Only in the case
of the Rockefeller, however, has the
department felt warranted in taking
immediate steps.

RESERVE BANKS BY NOV. 80
Secretary McAdoo's Proposal for Ear
Tier Opening Turned Down by
Federal Officials.

Washington.-After a two-hour dis
cussion here, directors and governors
Of the twelve federal reserve banks
refused, by two votes, to support the
proposal of Secretary McAdoo to open
the new banking system for business
November 16. By a vote of 81 to 80
they recommended that the opening
be set for November so.
This action has no binding effect
upon the federal reserve board or
upon Mr.. McAdoo, for the Currency
Act gives the secretary authority to
open the banks when he believes they
are ready to do business. 1t was evil
dent that members of the board were
not particularly pleased with the rec
Ommendation of the banks and it is
possible that meeting of the board
within the next few days will develop
sufficient sentiment to bring a vote
asking the secretary to name a date
earlier than November 80.

AMERICAN NAVY NEEDS MEN
Shortage Keeps Twelve Battle
Ships Out of Service.

Washing tOn.-Eighteen thousand ad.
ditional men are needed by the Amer
lean navy in case of war, and twelve
of its thirty-three battleships cannot
be put in service because of the short.
age of men, according to a statement
just issued by Franklin Roosevelt, act
ing secretary of the navy.
Mr.. Roosevelt declared, however
that in respect to ships and equipment
the navy is in excellent shape. The
statement supplemented Secretary
Daniels recent reply to published crit
icisms of the navy's preparedness fol
war.
Like Secretary Daniels, the acting
secretary maintained that battleships
still are the paramount factors in any
war in which the beIligerents are sep
arated by great distances of water
The value of submarines in their pres
ent state of development for coast de
tense purposes and for offensive al
tacks within a short radius was cOE

There never has been at attempt
to hide the fact" said Mr.. Roosevelt
that although the crews are recruited
up to the limit allowed by Congress
we have only sufficient men to man
in an adequate manner, a part Of the
vessels already built.

FAILED TO ADJOURN
Plans of Congressional Lead
ers Defeated by FiIibust-
ering Southerners.
WANT COTTON LEGISLATION
May Agree to Recess Until After
November EIections-War ReVe-
nue. Bill Signed.

westinghouse appears now that
unless an agreement can be reached for
a recess until after the November cleo
tions, congress will stay in session
indefinitely without a quorum of either
house in Washington
Filibustering of Southern Democrats,
who are fighting for legislation to re-
lieve financial stress in the cotton
states, upset carefully laid plans for
adjournment or congress at o'clock
Led by Senator Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia, the cotton belt members at the
last moment prevented action in the
senate on a joint resolution to adjourn
sine die, already passed by the house.
The collapse of the adjournment
programme came after every hope
for its success had been held out
and supreme efforts had been made to
accomplish conclusion of the session,
after adoption in both houses of the
conference report Of the war revenue
bill.
a spectacular feature of the situa-
ton was a dash by President Wilson
in an automobile from a golf course
to the capitol to reach there in time
to sign the war revenue bill before
adjournment. The president rushed
into the capitol, followed by secret
service men, at 5:45 o'clock. Attired
in his golf clothes and without his
reading glasses he hastened into the
presidents room, where the revenue
measure signed by Speaker Clark and
Senator Clarke, president pro tempore
of the senate, awaited him. Borrow
ing glasses from Senator Hughes of
New Jersey, the president signed the
bill and several others which were
waiting for him.
Representative Underwood said that
he did not believe it would be posi-
BILE to get another quorum to adopt
an adjournment resolution until after
the elections. Before o'clock had
arrived, in fact, scores OF representa-
tives and senators had left town and
others took later trains.
Recess May Be Agreed To.
Majority Leader Kern and other
Democratic senators were equally du-
biOus of any adjournment at this time,
but it was stated that a recess plan
might be agreed to by members from
the cotton states, with the understand
ing that bills calculated to relieve the
cotton states would be taken up after
the election. Senator Hoke Smith
said he might agree to such plan.
Senator Smith and his colleagues
filibustered all day, but after several
hours yielded long enough for vote
on the war revenue conference report,
which was agreed to by a vote of 3
to II.

FREE AMERICAN OIL SHIPS
England Satisfied There is No Oppor-
tunity for Cargoes to Pass
Into German Hands.

hingtOn.-Issues arising from
the seizure by British ,cruisers of
three American oil ships soon will be
amicably adjusted, in the opinion of
the state department officials. The
release after short detention Of the
tanker, John D. Rockefeller, with the
accompanying explanation by the Brit
ish ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice,
that the vessel was detained only be-
cause OF the doubt as to the destina-
ton Of her cargo, was construed as an
admission by the British government
of the right of vessels properly under
American registry to carry oil without
moIestation between neutral ports.
The fact that Great Britain released
the ship only after it had assured it
self that, through the Danish embargo
there was no opportunity for the oil
to pass into German hands, was look
ed upon as concerning only Great
Britain and Denmark Moreover, it
was learned that all of the neutral
countries in Northern Europe now
have placed embargoes upon semi
contraband. This, it is believed, will
reduce to a minimum interference
with the American carrying trade.

At a county fair in a small inland
city several hundred men were en-
gagged in holding down a large balloon
which was rapidly being inflated with
hot air. The smallest man Of the lot
looked about him nervously, and then
yelled at the top Of his voice:
Hey, come and take my place,
somebody I've got to go!"
No one paid any attention to him.
A few moments later the little man
bawled:

my place right away, I'm going to LEI
