EARLY ARREST
IN LOOP STRANCL|NG
Chicago Police Are MyStified,
However, by Hat Manu-
faCturer'S Murder.

CHICAGO. Nov. 30.-Arrest of the
stranger and complete solution Of
Chicago's strangest murder mystery
the killing of Emil Emsheimer, who
was slain in his hat frame factory at
p 4. Lake St, Saturday afternoon
was predicted today by Chief of Police
Gleason and Capt. w. ID. O'Brien,
chief Of the detective bureau. Detec-
tiYes were sent scurrying in all direc-
tions following what is believed to
have been important information by
Chief Gleason.
-COroner's Physician Henry S. W.
Reinhardt deepened the mystery in the
wealthy hat dealers death when he
stated Emsheimer was not garroted-
strangled with a rope and q Stick-aS
first reported.
Emsheimer was found on the floor
of his office A towel had been placed
around the mans neck. over the
towel and around the neck a rope was
found. 1t was a piece of clothes line
about two yards in length. 1t had
been twisted and looped about the
neck. Then with a piece of stick
about six inches long, the rope had
been twisted and frightened. EXamina-
tiOn showed that the rope had been
placed very loosely around the neck
and that several turns of the stick
had been necessary before pressure
could be brought to bear on the throat
Of Emsheimer.
The physician said he did not know
what caused Emsheimer's death. En-
plOyes of the hat dealer were ques-
toned early today but could throw no
light on the tragedy.
In Emsheimer's office the police
found a number of notes revealing the
fact that his sOn-in-law. Harry A.
Sachs, a jeweler on y. State St, was
indebted to Emsheimer.
Sachs admitted today owing Ems
heimer the money.
Emsheimer had no enemies so far
as the police have been able to as
certain and the motive for his murder
apparently was not robbery.

REPAIR DAMAGE DONE
BY BRITISH WARSHIPS
Germans Take Vigorous Moves
to Prevent BelgianS From
Signalling to GunnerS.

ROTTERDAM, Nov 3O.-Whne
taking every precaution to preserve
secrecy the Germans are working Wig
orously to repair the damage done by
British warships at Zeebrugge and to
mount guns to prevent further at
tacks. British men-Of-war are stand
ing off Zeebrugge, and another attack
upon the port by the fleet is expected.
The Germans are evidently relying to
a large extent upon their ability to
establish a naval base at Zeebrugge.
Drastic precautions are being taken
at Zeebrugge and other points on the
Belgian coast to prevent the inhabi-
tants from signaling to the British
warships. All in the inhabitants OF
Northern Flanders are evidently sus-
pected of being hostile to the Ger
mans for the men between the ages OF
IS and 45 are compelled to sign a dec
laratiOn that they will not take UP
arms against the Germans.
Another aerial raid has been made
by the allies over Ghent. Bombs were
dropped from two aeroplanes with the
evident intention Of destroying a boat
in the Brugges canal bearing German
officers. The Germans were not
harmed, but 10 of the bombs fell i'm
the mOlestade quarter wounding three
nOn-cOmbatants.
A Brussels dispatch states that the
Belgian war levy has been fixed by
the Germans at $75,000,000.

soon as the Germany can get TO the
front all the troops she is moving
through Belgium.
Expect Developments.
This theory is upheld by a dispatch
from Copenhagen today. 1t said:
Private advices from Berlin state
that within a very short time new
and important events may be looked
for on the Belgian battlefield. The
Germans evidently anticipate a very
powerful offensive by their troops in
this region for the purpose of break
ing the allies lines and reaching Ca
lais."
An Amsterdam message indicates
that the British naval bOmbardment
OF the Belgian coast with the aim of
wrecking plans made for an invasion
of England has thus far failed.
"Adyices from German sources" 1t
says, deny that Zeebruggge was de-
stroyed by the British bombardment'
t is declared that not a single house
was destroyed, that the entire Ger
man military establishment there is
intact and that no German submarine
was destroyed.

GERMAN REVERSE
At LODI GIVES
RUSSIANS HEART
Gen. RuSzki, Hero of Opening
Campaign in GaIiCia is PraiS-
ed for Turning Back KaiSer'S
Troops on the Bzura.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 30.-The left
wing of the Germans in Poland is IN
flight toward Thorn from the region
OF Combin, according TO the official
Army Messenger. 1T declares that
reverse suffered by the Germans at
LOdZ rivals the worst defeats infiict-
ed upon them during the Napoleon
ic wars and predicts that the cOntin-
ued advance of the Russian troops
from the Bzura river in pursuit OF the
retiring left wing of the enemy will
force the kaiser's troops to abandon
the positions they still hold in the
StrykO -.SigierZ-DOdz region.
The Army Messenger gives TO Gen.
RusZki, hero of the opening campaign
in Galicia, the credit for the success
upon the Bzura and in the GOmbin-
L0wicz district revealing for the
first time that the Russian command
ers have been shifted since the Ger
mans began their second drive into
Poland.
RusZh is Praised.
Gen. Ruszki," it says, has again
displayed wonderful strategical gen
ius. The rapidity with which he
struck drove the German left wing
from its main positions and he is in
pursuit of the retreating enemy with
the same vigor that he displayed in
pursuing the beaten Austrians in Ga
licia."
According to the same official or
gan the left wing contains six army
corpus (240,000 men) commanded
by Gen. Mackenzen. These troops
fought the Russian advance with
great obstinacy, but were finally COM
PEELED TO give ground before the Rus
slams determined attacks.
The Austrian forces in western Ca
licia between Przemysl and CracOw,
are completely shattered, according
to dispatches received here from Lem
berg today. They state that CracOw

trian troops decide not to defend the
fortreSses there. 1t is now considered
unlikely, however, that this great
stronghold will be surrendered with

An official report from the Russian
commander in Transcaucasia announc-
es the strong positions at Kaprikoi in
Turkish Aremenia, have been recap
