''The Socialist party had bsolutely
nothing to do with starting the strike, -
said Mr.. Berger, "and nothing to do
with fomenting it. When the strik

September, we gave financial help: Up

there was only one Socialist party. He

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-Friends and rel
atives of William II, Page, who with
W. H. Cromer left two years ago to ex-
plore the wilds of South America were
overwhelmed with grief today when
the report of the Besley expedition
was received by them. Mrs. Page is
now living In Kenilworth, a suburb OF
Chicago.
The last message received here from
the Cromer party came to DR.. Charles
$. Page, a brother of William H, in
February, 1918
When Colonel Roosevelt began his
journey into the Amazon country, an
appeal was cahled to him by Dr.. Page,
Mrs. Page, BENJAMIN Page, another
brother, and G. e. Cromer. brother of
the explorer, to search for the missing
adventures.
A rumor that the Cromer party had
been attacked and killed by cannibals
near the headwaters of the Amazon
was circulated last fall, and the family
and friends of Mr.. Page look on the
Besley discovery as confirmation Of
their fears.

Other Traces Found.

Traces were found also of the lost
Seljan expedition, which took the same
route as the Cromer expedition, and
Captain Besley thought that the bones
might have been the remains of mem.

pedition was in search Of rubber and is
said to have been financed by f. F.

Besley said that he encountered on
the trip savage cannibal tribes, armed
with poisoned arrows, and on one occa-

A few shots drove them off.
