ing conducted tonight for Sarah Banta.
whose name was sera wled in pencil
OH the trunk in which the body Of
Joseph Ballard was found early this
morning at the corner of Mott and
Grand streets. through whom. they
hope to find q solution Of New York $
newest murder mystery.
The Banta woman. according to the
police, is tatooed with d r
through heart of her right arm and
the words death before dishouor' on
her left. The police theory is that Bal
laro, aged twenty~eight. the owner OF
a prosperous shoe repair business, was
murdered in Brooklyn and then placed
in the trunk and brought across the
river. He was last seen in the com
pany of man who the police have
failed to locate. Jealousy or revenge
are the only motives for the murder
that have been advanced.

HUNS ARE IDLE ON
RECONSTRUCTION

London, Nov 28.--Repatriated Of
ticers coming out of Germany where
they have been prisoners, say that
practically nothing has been accom-
plished by the Germans toward re-
construction The chief concern OF
the politicians seems to- have been
that of convincing the world gener-
ally, and the allies in particular, that
the peace terms must be toned down,
that the wind be tempered for the
shorn lamb" as it were.
Some of the most callous Germans
attempted to discuss with the British
prisoners the prospects of settling
favorably in England, not feeling, or
feignipg not to com nrehend. the re-
pulse OF theIr swaggerlng overtures.

BILL PROPOSES
DEVELOPMENT Of
POWER BY WATER
Secretaries Baker and HouS-
ton Appear Before House
Committee, and Urge Legis-I
lation Be Speeded Up.

Washington, May 15.-Hearings on
the administration bill, proposing ex-
tensive development of water ways for
power and irrigation began today be-
fore the special house water power
committee with secretaries Baker and
Houston urging changes in the mea-
sure and its speedy enactment. The
bill could create water power COM
mission to be composed of the secre-
taries of war, agriculture and inter-
ior under, which development ,uld
be directed.
Secretary Baker urged a defritc
period for licensing corporations,
leasing water power and irrigation
rights: that leases be for definite
period, and that the amount of COM
pensation to be paid private Interests
by the government when it takes ever
plants be fixed. The lease period sug-
gested new is fifty years with the gov
ernment retaining the option of re-
newing he lease or purchasing The
property
Secretary Houston also urged
changes in the original draft bill TO
make more specific references to COM
pensation to private corporations
when water power plants are taken
over by the government and he sub
mitted an amendment under which Ii
censes under the bill would be re-
quired to set aside an imortization re-
serve to be held until the termination
of the lease or to be applied in the
reduction of the net investment un-
der the direction of the commission.
Mr. Houston said he did not be-
lieve it necessary to include in the
measure provision fixing a rate of
return on the investment Of private
interests in the development of pow
er, declaring that such authority
should be left to the commission. He
also urged that the commission be
given authority over all inland water
ways.

IN LyNCH|NG BEE
TRIAL FOR BIAS

Edwardsville, H., May l5.--Follow-
ing the action of Louis Bernreutter,
presiding at the trial of eleven men
charged with the lynching of Robert
Paul Prayer in disquilifying Sheriff
Jenkins from summoning talesmen for
examination, Argalus Stubbs, commits
sioner of highways, was appointed to
succeed Jenkins and a new panel was
called.
Examination of talesmen continued
but so far not one juror has been
agreed upon. More than 180 men
have ben examined and all but three
said thev had made their minds. These
three have been accepted tentatively
by the state.
The action of Judge Bernreutter fol-
lowed a request on the part of the
state for the removal of Jenkins on
the ground that he was prejudiced in
the defendants. The letters were re-
ceived at Edwardsville from three
citizens of Niobrara, Neb.. and all
three alleged that Prayer had been
run out of that town last fall because
of alleged disloyal actions.

HILL Al is RETAkEN
BY THE FRENCH ARMS

With the British Army in France,
May Is (by the Associated Press -
Hard fighting continued today in the
neighborhood of Hill A. north of
KENNEL, which yas stormed and re-
taken late yesterday by French troops.
This much disputed elevation has
changed hands many times recently
but the French were still holding the
Germans off at 2 O'Clock this after
noon.
Thus the little rising ground from
the waterlogged Flemish plain about
it had suddenly come to occupy an i'm
portant place in the annals of he
fighting in this section Of the front,
although thus far it has never been
even diGniFied with name other than
contained in the figures indicating
its height
Its value lies in the fact that it
dominates considerable territory al
for this reason it has been a ,horne
in the flesh for the ambitious Ger
mans. It is believed that they want
it to facilitate their newt attack in this
region which bids fair to come before
long.
A renewal of the German offensive
on a big scale has so far not material
