MACON, Mo, June 23.-Irving Nor gan, also known as John R. Jackson, who has told the police that he pushed his wife through the window of sleeping car window near Shelbina, Mo-, the night of June 13, was brought here early today from Kansas City. The authorities said it would not be wise to take him into Shelby county, the scene of the death because of fears of a possible demonstration against the prisoner.
 q don't know why I did it." said Morgan. Tt was not anger that caused it. It was not jealousy. l think it was because I loved her so much. 1 more than loved her-I worshipped her.
 Morgan denied that the killing was premeditated. He continues to main- tain his indifferent attitude, although today he expressed desire that he be allowed to visit his wife's grave.
 The police say Morgan has told them he was born in Virginia, III. of we'll to-do parents. When young man, he lived for a while in Nashville, Tenn. Later he obtained employment as an auditor in Birmingham, Ala. In Birm- inpham, he said, he met his future wife.

DRY MEASURES b|G
 WORK OF WEEK

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Woman suffrage and nation wide prohibition as an emergency measure, are ex- pected to continue this week as the centers of interest in a crowded legislative calendar which congress hopes to speedily clear up with view to recessing early next month for three weeks or more while the new revenue bill is being framed by the house ways and means com mittee.
 The house resolution proposing sub mission of a woman suffrage amend ment to the federal constitution will be called up in the senate Thursday and vote during the day is ex- pected. With a two-thirds majority necessary for adoption of the reso- lution, both sides still claim victory.
 Hearings on the Jones prohibition amendment to the S11,000,000 emerg- ency agriculture appropriation bill will be resumed next Thursday by the senate agriculture committee with Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby of the shipping board, Director General Schwab of the emergency fleet corporation, Secretary Daniels and Postmaster General Burleson as witnesses. Opposition of the shipping board to the amendment because of the effect it might have on the out put of ships may precipitate a con- troversy in which possible interven- tion by President Wilson may be a deciding factor.
 There is an increasing sentiment | among members for declarations of war on Turkey and Bulgaria and for intervention in Siberia under Jap anese leadership Some leaders ex- pect statement soon from Presi- dent Wilson regarding these interna- tional problems, particularly as to war with Turkey, because of the re- ported Turkish attacks on American property at Tabriz, Persia.

CREW IF SUNKEN
 SHIP |S LANDED.
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


 AN ATLANTIC PORT, June 23.- An American steamer from the West Indies arriving here today, brought to port Captain w. D. Wells of the U. $. $. Schurz and 215 mem- bers of the crew rescued when the Schurz was sunk off the North Carolina coast Friday in collision with the tanker Florida
 The rescue ship was near by when the accident occurred and passengers saw the members of the Schurz crew swimming about in the water when they appeared. The SchurZ, which was formerly the German gunboal Geier, sank as the last survivor was taken from the water. The Florida was not seriously damaged and went on her way.
 When called the Geier. the lost ship had a series of notable adven- lures. She was chased into Honolulu harbor in the fall of 1914 by Jap anese cruisers and while there she took a hand in American affairs by relaying radio messages to the orient from German agents in this country while the ships band played lively airs to drown the crackle of the wireless.
 In January, 1916, the Geier was ordered conveyed to San Francisco, because of mental ailments which it was claimed attacked the crew as a result of the heat.
 When naval officers took charge, they found a quantity of arms aboard although officers of the interned steamer had been ordered to turn over all their weapons.
 The ships engines also had been wrecked. In June of last year the boat was rechristened the Schurz.

Official Statement

 VIENNA, June 23.-(via Lon. don).-The Austrian official com munieation issued today says:
 "The fighting on the Piave was less violent again yesterday and only on the southern wine of our army front did the enemy resume in the afternoon his counter attacks. Elsewhere there were artillery dueIs.
 "The heavy rains which have descended in downpours almost daily during the last week in Venetia and which have placed under water broad stretches of the plain have multiplied the burdens of the troops and the privations of warfare.
 "The Piave has become a rush. ing stream and its volume of water has many times made it impossible for several hours to communicate between the two banks. 1t is only possible with the greatest difficulty to provide the fighting men at the front with the most necessary supplies of munitions and provisions. All the greater, therefore, is the recognition due to the brave troops whose fighting force has been unimpaired even by such a situation.'
