WAR SENTIMENTS
BELIEVED MOTIVE
Minister Antasonixed Many Citizens
Because Of Pro German Utteranees
Another Theory is That Murder
Was Due to Private Condct Of Pas
notwithstanding Letters Received
Warned Mr.. kayser to Leave.

Gary, Ind, Aug 25.--The Rev. Ed
mund Kayser. pastor of st. James
Evangelical Lutheran church in the
suburb of Po1leston, was murdered late
last night as he sat in his study. Mem
bers of his family were absent.
Mr.. kayser's proGernan utterances
In community which includes many
Slavs are believed by the police to pro-
vide a motive for the crime. Money
and jewelry on his person and in the
house were not touched.
The body was found in vacant lot
adjoining the minister's home. There
was a bullet wound in the throat. A
window cord was wound tightly about
the neck.
The Rev. Mr.. Kayser was born In
Bavaria forty years ago. A month ago
he appealed to Chief of Police Heintz
for permission to carry revolver. al
leging that threats had been made
against his life. For three weeks
members of his congregation had
guarded their pastor, escorting him to
and from his church.
Receives Threatening Letters.
A second theory of the motive of the
crime engaged detectives today, This
was based on intimations that certain
members of Mr.. Kayser's congregation
did not approve OF his conduct as a
minister.
Bloodhounds were brought to the
place where the body was found but
they We're unable to pick UP a scent.
Excerpts from threatening letters
which the preacher turned over to the
postmaster read:
Before the leaves become green on
the trees you will be stretched out on
the ground
Move away or dynamite will move
YOU"
Mr.. Kayser was 40 years old. Neigh
bors were aware of the letters but from
those seized by detectives today it IS
understood sentiment against the de-
cedent was ION private" grounds.

No Mine, Says Company.
Officers OF the White Star line gave
out a statement disputing the German
suggestion that possibly the Arabic

with respect to precautions taken,
adds the statement, these were very
thorough and very proper, baving re-
gard to all that has taken place in the

The Hamburg Nachrichten, says a

United States Proposes to Take Over
Finances Of Nation for Ten Years.
Washington, Aug. 25.-Secretary
Lansing said today that the treaty
which the United States has submit
ted to Haiti proposing ten years OF
American control of the island gov
ernment finances had for it's sole pur
pose the establishment Of stable
government which could be entirely
turned over to the Taitiens them
selves.
The American charge at Port Au
Prince has asked the Haitien govern

proposal today. Secretary Lansing
confirmed the outline Of the plan as
1t was stated in yesterdays news dis
patches from Port Au Prince
MI. Lansing said:
I'VE have only one purpose-and
that Is to help the Haltlen people and
keep them from being exploited by ir-
responsible revolutionists. While rev.

starving in the streets Of Port Au

supplies Of food which abound in the

bad to worse and something must be
done.

MAY CALL OUT OLD NAVY MEN
Washington Government Gets il
Touch With Officers on Retired ist.

Washington Government Gets in
Touch With Officers on Retired List.
Washington, Aug. 25.-Secretary
Daniels has sent notice to all retired
naval officers asking a report from
them on their fitness for active duty.
with a request that they express their
preferences for assignment.
A similar request to retired army
officers was sent out short time ago
by Secretary Garrison.
The secretary Of the navy Is having
made also a roster and the present ad-
dress of all retired former enlisted men
in the navy and the marine corps.
These activities of the military arms
of the government are of the utmost
significance at this time. They are ac-
cepted here as moves in a general plan
to build up an efficient reserve for
both the army and the navy OF trained
men upon which great volunteer
force may rest for drill, instructions
and discipline.
Under recent enactments by con-
gress retired officers Of the navy and
arn.I may not be required to return
to active service and the terms Of en-
listed men expire with the period for
which they have enlisted. But Sec
retaries Daniels and Garrison are pro-
ceeding in the belief that all retired
officers physically able to return to ac-
tive duty will do so willingly should
their services be required irF defense
Of the country. This spirit OF the of :
icers was exemplifled recently by Cen
eral Goethals. builder Of the Panama
canal who is to retire in November,
having reached the age limit who an
nounced he would not retire should the
government decide to keep him on ac-
tive duty
1t is not the present intention Of
those working out plans for strength
ening the army and navy to assign the
retired officers to active commands
taxing their remaining physical
strength.
Their great value is in the instruc-
ton and example they will be able to
give volunteers who may be called to
the colors when an emergency de-
mands the quick formation OF armies
and new men for the navy and marine
corps.
Many retired army officers have been
for some years working with the mil
itia on the national guard of the
states. Their work has resulted in
the placing OF the militia on a fairly
efficient basis Should It be necessary
to muster vast army, every retired
officer capable OF active service will
be needed to help put 1t into shape,
for this work will have to be done
quickly and thoroughly to enable the
soldiers to battle against war-tried
veterans whom they must meet.
