Clinton, Oct. l2.-What has become
of the Baron DR.. Michael William
Achilles DeOrgler?
This is the question which is being
asked by those who came in touch with
this strange parsonage during his brief
stay in Clinton, which was cut short
when local authorities refused to al
low him to deliver his lecture on The
international Crisis" at one OF the NOV
ing picture houses here.
Just before coming to Clinton the
baron delivered his lecture once at
Dixon, III, but Immediately thereafter
was quizzed by two men said TO be
representatives Of the department Of
justice, and his contract for a repe-
tition Of the lecture was Cancelled.
Those who had the opportunity of
following more closely the actions of
the Austrian or Roumanian baron are
undecided whether he Is a clever spy.

general impression is that he is little

Nothing discriminating in Baggage.
Examination Of his baggage and be-
long!ngs revealed nothing that might

has been allowed 10 go on. When ne

Press clippings dating back to the
time prior to Americas entrance in
the war show that he claimed to be
an intimate friend of the late Franz
Joseph, and that he was a schoolmate
of the present Austrian emperor,
Charles. They show that he had con-

some description in New York.
