MAY HAVE Been SUICIDE
Theory Business Man Murdered Partly
Disproven-Rejected by F1ancee.

Ottumwa, Ia, July 19.-The death
of Arthur Young, business man of
Hedric, may not have been a murder
plot because of his love affair with
Miss Beulah Ellis of this city, but a
case of suicide, the coroners jury said,
and the truth will not be known until
reports come from the experts at the
state hospital at Iowa City. Miss Ell
lis, who swallowed poisop at the bier
of her dead lover, recovered sufficient
ly to testify that she refused to marry
Young when she saw him Sunday be-
cause she had heard he was paying
attentions to another girl, and that
Young had threatened suicide unless
she married him.
Boys found a small bottle under the
window of the hotel room where
Young was stricken. Young said he
had been poisoned by drinking a bot
tie of beer given him by a man who
had threatened Ito get even with
him. but the authorities are probing
the suicide theory and will have the
contents of the small bottle found I'M
der the window examined by the Iowa
City experts.

Washington. July 19-Another
protest was sent yesterday on the Red
Cross situation pertaining to Poland
and further appeals are pending for
Polish relief. Strong representations
will be made against the black list.
But high official of the government,
and a man close to the president,
said:
These people (the alIies) are in
dead earnest. They have their teeth
set and their eyes fixed en- a given
goal. They are paying little atten-
ton to anything else. They will ac-
cede to no demand they believe might
delay now reaching the end they de
sire. And they have told us-in al
most so many words-that if we don't
like the smell of frying over there,
we'd better keep out of the kitchen

NEAR RACE RIOT
Crowd Gathers Around Scene of
of Mcintyre Shooting.
Delay i'm Serving Warrant on
Negro Cost Six Lives.

Chicago, July 19.-Crowds gathered
in the vicinity of 800 Irving avenue
where yesterday the negro, Henry P.
Mcintyre, sent four people to their
deaths. and was himself, together with
his wife later killed, gave rise to fears
of possible race rioting early today
and caused fifty policemen to be dis
patched to the scene. They dispersed
the crowd quickly and the danger was
declared to have been averted.
To prevent further difficulty, ne
groes were ordered by the police to
keep off the streets. They obeyed
promptly. Extra policemen were
placed on guard in the district as a
precaution.
1t developed today that back of the
murders of yesterday and forming an
innocent means to them was an un-
served warrant, charging Mcintyre
with disturbing the peace.
Three Wounded Will Recover
A policeman sent Monday night to
serve the paper, found Mcintyre away
from home. He decided to wait until
morning. The police say this decision
caused more deaths than have figured
in single crime in years
Reports from local hospitals this
morning indicated the officers and
others wounded in yesterdays tragedy
probably would recover. Edward
Clement, detective sergeant was said
to be in the most serious condition.
Among the effects found in Nc
Intyre's house after the bodies had
been removed was a letter which he
had written to Prince Menelik of
Abyssinia- 1t was sent in January,
1915, and returned unopened. in April,
1916. In it McIntrye proposed colon
lzlng American negroes in Abyssinia,
stating that he had "organized a
church and also an immigration
league"

BRITISH A SURPRISE TO THEM

with the British Armies in France
(via London), July 19.-Quite num-
Der of German prisoners told me that
their people were sure this war would
be over in August or September They
had been promised that.
DO you think you are winning?"
I asked a man of real intelligence.
we thought so,' he answered, land
now" he raised his hands and
shrugged his shoulders, the British
are stronger than we believe"
1t seems that they did not believe
that such defenses as those of Fricourt
and Monteauban could ever be broken.
The new power of the British artillery
amazed them. They speak of it with
terror. Officers admit they did not
imagine amateur gunners" could
achieve such results.
They admit the possibility of their
army having to retire to a new line of
defenses, but 1 have not found one
man to speak of defeat. They are
still convinced that the German army
can never be beaten to the point of
surrender.
Want Their Families
On the other hand, German soldiers
do not want the war to go on; they
have a great craving for peace. They
want to see their wives and children
again. One strain OF thought that
creeps out in their talk. is the sug-
gestion that they fight-not as free
men desiring to fight, but compelled
to fight by higher powers, against
whom they cannot rebel.
1 am told by one officer. in charge
of them, that they talk of another in
evitable war between Germany and
England in ten years. They have been
taught to believe. he says, that the
British thrust this war upon them,
that all through the British have been
the aggressors and that Germany will
seek revenge.
The Germans suffered great loss
during the attack. by their own adj
mission, and it was reckOned, on a fair
estimate that in killed, wounded and
prisoners, the number of their cas-
ualtieS is somewhere near $4,000

MUST GET TOGETHER
Dissension and Petty Offenders Must
Cease, Hughes Says.

New York, July 19.-Charles E.
Hughes today told callers that dis
sension among his supporters must
cease, that he expected all factions to
get together subordinate what he
termed their petty differences, and
work for the election of the national
ticket and a Republican majority in
both branches of congress. The sue
cess of the party at the polls, Mr..
Hughes declared, depended in a great
degree upon a cessation of picker
ings" between Republicans and former
progressives and between various To-
cal factions of Republicans. The
nominee expressed a willingness to
aid in adjusting any difficulties which
might now exist, so far as he could
do so personally, and added that he
expected his campaign committee,
which consists of Republicans and
former progressives, to act as a tri-
bunal of last resort in instances which
he could not personally find time to
study.
Mr. Hughes had a long talk with
Mayor Thompson of Chicago and
other leaders from Illinois. The NOM
inee confirmed his tentative engage
ment to speak in Chicago on the night
of August s.
