INQUIRY INTO DEATH
Of WEALTHY WIDOW
IS BEGUN BY SWAMI

District Attorney Swami this after
noon began an inquiry into the death
Of Mrs. Sarah Suassny. a wealthy
widow, who was found dead yester-
day In her apartment at No. 215 West
ssth Street, with a bullet IN her head
and revolver in herNhand.
The police had reported the cass as
a clear one OF suicide. but this morn
ing Coroner Helienstein received a
letter purporting 20 bear the sigma
ture OF nephew Of the dead woman,
demanding an investigation and ex-
pressing the belief that Mrs. Stiassny
had been murdered.
The Coroner sent the letter at once
20 the District Attorneys once and
Assistant District Attorney F1tzpat-
rick, with DR.. Otto Schultze. attached
10 Mr., swann's office, were sent to the
Suassry home.
The first report from these investi-
Gators did not support the murder
| hypothesis. They had found letters,
they said, indicating that Mrs.
StiasSny had contemplated suicide.
Meanwhile District Attorney Swami
received a telephone call from Isidore
Hirshfield. a lawyer with officcs at
No. % Nassau street, protesting
/ against further Investigation or an
autopsy. Hirshfeld said the writer
OF the letter had been disinherited by
Mrs. Stiassny and was seeking %
cause trouble.
The suicide theory yesterday was
supported by a statement that Mrs
! Stiassny feared her nephew. who
managed her large estate, would be
drafted into the army.
DIR. Schultze, coroner's physician
telephoned to Mr.. Swami this after
noon that the case undoubtedly was
one OF suicide.

WASHINGTON FEARS
FALL OF KERENSKy
MEANS CIVIL WAR
One Possibility Is He May Set
Up a New Government
al Moscow.

WASHINGTON. Nov. s.--Kcrensky's
fan and the collapse OF his govern
ment IS regarded hero as threatening
Russia with the civil war which all
her friends hoped 10 REQ avoided.
The state Deps rtment, without Of
ficisl advices Of dts own, was silent,
wishing to avoid making any state
nents until the situation could he ac-
curnteiy assessed on tho basis OF init
mato reports from Ambassador
Francis at Potrograd.
The Russian Em baEsy preferred not
10 make n statement until later and
until after there has been opportunity
FOR Communication with Ambassador
Bakhmeticff. who was travelling in
the South.
The embassies Of the Entonte Aliioo,
realizing that the development means
first OF all probably Encouragement
OF their war plane. were not disheart-
cned at what is considered "A triumph
OF insldlous German propaganda.
Tho general opinion here among
those In position 10 be best informed
OF Russian affairs ls that Kerensky
and his followers probably will at
once set up a new Government at
Moscow. leaving Petrograd to the
Maximalists and those troops who
adhere TO them. An armed clash IL
counted among the first probabilities.
but 1t IL said here that the greater
part OF the army is expected to re-
main loyal to the Kerensky Govern
ment Whether the new revolt will
go the quick way of the K0rniloff re-
bellioD no one here ventures TO pre-
diet. The realization Is that II Is
Infinitely more serious. The out

years OF the war. while she RECEIVERS
her fighting power, no one here as
sumes to contemplate at this time.
The War Council OF the o-belllg-
ereuts. tnst about TO assemble In Eu-
rope TO arrange policies OF co-ordi-
nation OF nghting forces, is now faced
with n new and great problem at its
very outset.
The immediate effect upon the part
which the United States must take as
the shifting OF world events turns the
burdens OF war more and more to rhs
American people cannot he assessed
accurately at this time. The Treas-
ury already has authorized credits Of

probably half already has been drawn
upon for supplies bought in this coun-

United States Steel Battered

After another day Of disastrous de-
clines in prices on the Stock Ex-
change the market rallied under the
supporting influence OF largo finan-
clal interests and closing prices were
2 10 4 points above the lowest levels.

cipitated heavy liquidation which

Leading rails went below the min
mum prices In the panic OF 1907.

All local public service securities
suffered a sharp decline. The weak

Leon TrotEly. who In playing such
n conspicuous part in Russian affairs
at this time. came TO New York from
Russia on the 18th of last January
and remained here through tho winter
and until the outbreak OF the revolu-
tion which deposed the Car last
spring.
He was the editor OF a Russian revo-
lutionist newspaper called the Now
Mir, or New World. Outside OF his
editorial labors he was active In all
sorts OF revolutionary enterprises, and
the east side knew him rs a persist
ent and violent talker. As soon as
the news OF the Russian revolution
reached this country Trotzky started
for Russia and was soon In tho thick
OF things at Petroyrad.
Those who knew him on the east
side say they have no knowledge that
he is n German agent. They profess
TO believe that he Is a patriot actuatod
only by what ne considers the best
interests OF Russia. Others who did
not know him 80 well and who are MT
in accord with his theories declare
that he Is n German agent working
for the German Government hand In
hand with Lenine, who Is known all
over Europe as a German sym
palhizer In the pay Of Germany.
