Berlin, Oct. 23.-Constanza Rumania's greatest sea-
port, has fallen before Field Marshal Mackensen's
armies, it officially announced this afternoon.
Capture of the city the greatest single achievement
for the central powers since Rumana entered the

DOUBT
MURDERER'S STORY
Believe Barrett Murdered
Wife and StepsOn Hiding
Bodies in Barn

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 23-Detectives
Investigating the double murder confess
ed to by Benton l.. Barrett, an aged
wealthy Santa Monica farmer who sur
rendered himself to the police, telling
them he had killed his wife, Mrs. Irene
Barrett, and her son, Raymond Wright,
today were inclined to doubt Barrett 3
story.
According to Barrett, both his wife
and young Wright attacked him and
he killed them in self defense. He told
further how he burned the bodies and
displayed heap of charred bones to
prove his story, But detectives declare
the bones are not those of human. In
stead, the theory was advanced that the
murder may have been premeditated
and with the charred bones and his
story, Barrett thought he would be ac'
quilted OF actual murder at trial, and
surrendered himself for that reason.
Today detectives planned to move sew.
eral tons of hay stored in the barn of
the Barrett ranch, where it is believed
the bodies may be hidden. Bloodstains
and other evidence tends to show the
deed was done in this barn and not in
the yard of their home, as Barrett de-
clared in his story.
A neighbor woman told detectives she
heard four shots last Wednesday com
ing from the vicinity Of the Barrett
home.

PREM|ER'S ASSASSIN
ALDER, IS INSANE
Expected Populace Would
Make Demonstration Fol-
lowing His Deed
By Carl w. Ackerman.

Omitted Press starr correspondent
Berlin, Oct. 23.-Vienna authorities
took prompt action to prevent demon.
strations following the assassination of
Count Karl Stuerghk, the Austrian pre-
mier.
The usual Sunday meetings were pro
hibited. Crowds gathered in the streets,
indignant over the shooting, but there
were no disturbances. DR.. Frederick
Alder, the premier's assassin, who dis
played general GOODNESS when first ar
rested, collapsed when he learned OK the
authorities action. He told his jailers
that he believed the Vienna crowds
would be fired to great demonstrations
by his act and expected other radical
socialists to head the disturbance.
Telephone communication between
Brlin and Vienna, interrupted shortly
after the shooting was restored few
hours later.
A postmorter examination confirmed
reports that all three bullets found
lodgment in the prime minister's head.
Vienna dispatches today said that Baron
Beck, former premier, is the probable
choice as successor to the slain prime
minister. Prince Tohenlohe, minister of
the interior and the Oldest member of
the cabinet is temporarily filling the
vacancy.
German socialists declare that Adler
was insane. They say he was consider
ed "peculiar" when he was a student
at Munich several years ago.

sens advance. The Rumanian right
wing, defending the strategically i'm.
portant Danube bridge at Cernoavoda is
beating back enemy attacks.
For the second time since the Ger,
mans began their campaign to crush Ru.
mania, an appeal for help has come
from Bucharest. The Petrograd cores
pondent of the Daily News returning
from the Rumanian capital telegraphed
that he was asked by high Russian
parsonage to emphasibze the seriousness
of the situation.
King Ferdinand himself sent similar
plea following the Rumanian defeat in
Pennsylvania.
Petrograd dispatches today revealed
for the first time the reasons for the
severe defeat suffered by the Ruman-
ians in Dobrudja. Premier Bratiano be-
lieved when Rumania entered the war
what Bulgaria either would sue for
peace or would not fight against Ru-
mania or Russia. Only weak forces
were left to guard the Bulgarian border
while the main Rumanian army poured
into Pennsylvania.

DEMOCRA rs SAY
HUGHES HAD MADE
'HYPHEN'' BARGAIN
Claim He Had Agreement
With Pro-Germans As To
Foreign Policy Plank
WAS BID FOR SUPPORT OF
GERMAN SYMPATHIZERS
Chairman Wilcox Denies the
Allegation and De6es the
Alligator"

New York, Oct. 2a.-A second state
ment from the democratic national com
mittee, quoting "plank" adopted by
the American Independence conference
following an agreement reached
with Charles f. Hughes, followed by a
challenge from Republican National
Chairman Wilcox for the democrats to
produce such an agreement, kept the
political pot boiling here today with
the hyphen issue.
The democrats charged that Hughes
entered into secret agreement with the
pro-German organization, Wilcox
entered emphatic denial and character
lied the charges as "the cheapest kind
of advertising in the interests of lost
cause.'
The democrats quoteu what was said
to be the plank adopted by the Amer
lean independence conference, calling
upon the people to condemn the alb
ject surrender of American rights to
Mexico and European nations" and
Support Hughes"
AT republican headquarters tele-
gram received from Frank Sieberlich,
who was present at the session between
Hughes and representatives of the con-
ference, denying that the republican
candidate made any promises, The tele
gram follows:
"The statement made by Mr.. Hughes
relative to the conference with the com
mittee of the American Independence
conference is ABSOLUTELY true. Mr..
Hughs saw the committee, Of which l
was a member, made no promises, did
not criticise Roosevelt and made no
statement to the committee that he
stood for all American rights"
After giving out this telegram, Will
cox said:
eff the democrats have any kind of
agreement, why don't they present itf
They have my consent to find any kind
of agreement. This is the cheapest kind
of advertising for lost cause. There
was nothing secret about the confer
ence Mr.. Hughes had.'
Wilcox went on to say that all man
ner of citizens and groups of citizens
had seen Hughes, but that he had made
no promises in any "shape, manner or
form.
Speaking OF the lack of secrecy, Will
cox took fling at the democrats by de-
claring he dldn t think the "same could
he said of Burleson and others who have
sought out certain racial interests"
81 don't think Mr.. Hughes would
have conference at midnight with n
beer party" he declared. The chair
man said none of Hughes conferences
were secret, and added that in the vari
Gus organizations, who had sent com
mittees to see him, the American Rights
committee was included.

Rumanians swspt Back.

London, Oct. 23.-With their lines in
tact, the Rumanians are being rolled
back on IS mile front in Dobrudja un-
der tremendous pressure by superior
German, Bulgarian and Turkish forces.
At the Rumanian capital the situa-
ton is regarded as serious, said Petro-
grad dispatch today.
Mackensen advance guards already
have approached to within less than 10
miles OF the Constanza Cernovoda rail,
way. The line, carrying supplies into
Rumania and the road over which Rus.
sian troops transported to Constanza
have been brought into Rumania with
its two important terminals, is the OBJ.

The Rumanian left wing and center
is giving way. Top Raiser and Tuzla.

Lake Full of Wreckage.

Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 23.-The steamer
Matthews, Captain Cunningham, arrived
here this morning with the bodies of
three sailors wearing life belts of the
steamer Merida. The Merida was

Merida was last seen Friday morning at
10 o'clock by the steamer Briton off
the southeast shoals, Lake Erie.
Captain Cunningham reported the
bodies were found so miles west of
Long Point, Ont. He said the freighter
Charlotte G. Breitung has also picked

lieved to have been from the Merida,
taking them to Sandwich, Ont.

under the command of Captain II. S.
Jones, of Buffalo. Her home port is
Chicago.
Fear was expressed today that to the
storm will be added all of the crew of
25 of the Merida.
Thirty-four dead is the now known
toll of the storm, with possibly 81 of
the Merida s crew unaccounted for.
The report of Captain Alexander Nc.
Donald of the Harvey Goulder that he
had found the lake "full of wreckage, 4"
which he could not identify, 'caused the
fear that other steamers as yet unreport-
