JEALOUSY CAUSES
WOMAN'S DEATH
Discovery of Poison Leads to Theory
That Woman Was Slain BY Male
Companion-Jeslousy Given as Mo-
tive BY Police For Crime.

Chicago, June 23.-Mrs. Anna Wells
Pocock, at one time a resident or Iowa
City, Iowa, and afterwards of Canton,
O., whose body was found in a down
town hotel here last Friday, met death
at the hands of a Jealous man, ac-
cording to the theory of the police
today, based on the opinion of Coroner
Peter A. Hoffman, that death was due
to an alkaloid poison given her.
Lieutenant Of Police John w. Nor
ton said he was convinced that Mrs.
Pocock met the man he believed Was
responsible for her death between 8
and IL o'clock Thursday night before
she went to the hotel with a man who
registered as u. 8. Mintren and wife,
Baldwin, Iowa" Norton said he be-
.lieved that Mintren was in no way re-
sponsible for the woman's death but
that a man who has not been mem
toned in the case was being sought.
According to former friends in Iowa
City, Mrs Pocock and i, her husband
opened several moving picture theaters
in Iowa during 1914, one Of them being
in Iowa City About three years ago
the couple moved to Canton, O., where
they acquired some valuable coal
lands. Her husband, it was said, was
killed in an accident.

German People Not Enthused.

Berlin. June 22-Bulletins ANNOUNCE
ing that the German fleet had been
sunk in Scapa Flow arrived too late
for the morning editions of Berlin
papers today and the people were given
their first information, thru noon edi-
tions. IN a more auspicious political
situation the news might have caused
an outburst Of enthusiasm but the
public was not moved to demonstr ra-
tions The admiralty has received
nothing beyond brief bulletin which
came by way OF Holland.
Commenting upon the sinking OF the
fleet. the Berlin Gazett says that per-
haps it was a deed Of folly. as Ger
many might have been able to force
an indemnity for the surrender Of the
warships.
"Nevertheless," it continued, at was
a handsome deed"
The Neue Gazette says:
THE officers and men who perform
ed this deed may be forgiven. They
acted in the spirit in which they were
trained. On the other hand IL their
action carries with 1t injurious results
for Germany. it must be regretted, for
Germany is hardly in n position TO in
dulge in the luxury of heroic poses and
the brief satisfaction of appearing be-
fore the world in this Benjal illumina
ton may have to be paid for in cash.

MAY DEPORT DE VALERA.
! Commissioner Declines to Announce
Course Department viii Take.

Washington, June 23---If Edward de
Valera and Henry J. Boland, Sim
F'ctnera entered the United states ille-
gally. the laws OF the United States
provide that they shall be arrested ana
possibly deported Commissioner Gem
eral of immigration Caminetti stated
tonight.
Caminetti said illegal entrance into
the United States consists of being
found here without a passport vised
by American diplomatic officer in the
country from which the immigrants
came
Deportation is provided in such cases.
Caminetti said. but it was not compul-
sorry and in several cases since the war
regulations for passport were put into
effect the immigrants were allowed TO
remain.
Camenitti would not indicate what
action he would take against de Valera
and Boland. but stated that he believed
the matter would first be considered
by the state department.
Should Great Britain insist on the re-
turn OF the Irishmen. as British citi-
zens. international law would be
against the United States allowing
them to remain here, he stated.
The strict wartime passport resuia-
t!ons are still IN force and several
"stowaways" have recently been sent
back, Caminetti said.

GERMANY FORCED TO ACCEPT PEACE TERMS

down. About twenty destroyers out OF
the fifty that were interned were
beached during the afternoon. The
German crews which were taken to the
Victorious were later transferred 70
other warships.
Admiralty Blamed.
Arthur Pollen. the naval expert, In
an interview In the Dispatch regarding
the sinking OF the German warships In
Scapa Flow. admires the spirit OF the
Germans in sinking their ships rather
than to allow them To pass into the
possession of their enemies.
The article recalls that u writer In
an evening paper recently practically
prophesied the destruction OF the Ger
man ships.
This writer emphasized the ease or
secreting demolition charges In mod
ern warship, adding many people In
the navy believe that the ships left
Germany with dynamite charges al
ready in position, and that when the
decision Of the peace conference was
announced the Scapa Flow would be
the scene Of big pyrotechnic dis
play"
Easy to Sink the Fleet.
Commander Kenworthy, NJ. p. told
the Dispatch it was the easiest thing
in the world to sink ship by opening
the Kingston valve or removing the
covers of the condensors.
The story is remarkable" said Lord
Sydenham. Explosives could not have
been used, as they are believed to have
been removed. Assuming that the
Kingston valves were open, the ships
would not sink in less than five hours.
The loss of the ships does not matter.
but 1t is annoying that we were out
witted."
Commander Bellairs. NJ. p, declared
that no watch from tire guard boats
could have prevented the scuttling Of
the ships, and that the sailors on the
spot are not to be blamed. -
Foe True to Form.
The admiralty Is responsible" Com
mander Bellairs said, for they made
the armistice but did not think OF the
terms The only lesson is that the
first case OF police work for the league
OF nations has been unsuccessful ana
that the Germans remain true to
type"
Admiral Sir Percy Scott, interviewed
by the Sunday Times. regards the sink
ing as something to be expected.
1t serves us right" he said, "for
trusting the Huns. They showed
thruout the war that they were not a
civilized race, and they never ought to
have been treated as such; they are
barbarians."

Cermanv's Last Wall.

Weimar, June 22.-In announcing
the decision of the German govern
ment to sign the peace terms before
the national assembly today Premier
Bauer said: @
"At this hour of life and death, un-
der the menace Of invasion, for the last
time I raise in free Germany pro-
test against this treaty Of violence and
jdestruction. I protest against this
| mockery of self determinations; the
enslavement of the German people
this new menace to the peace Of the
| world; under the mask of treaty OF
peace. .eNo signing can enfeeble this
| protest which we raise and swear to.
| This treaty does not lose its annihilat-
/ ing character by alterations in detail.
Protesting against it fs useless ana is
at tfle>risk Of new crisis within for
ty- eight hours.
"Our power Of resistance is broken
| and there Is no means of averting this
| treaty. The treaty itself, however, does
give us handle which we can not
allow to be wrested from us, namely,
| the entente's solemn promise of, June
/ 16 that the treaty can be revised from
time to time and adapted to new con-
!! dii;n.,s That is one Of the few words
+, in the treaty breathing the real spirit
| of peace"
Premier Bauer concluded by express
ing his faith in the German people and
their final realization of better fu-
4: ture. He said they were faced with
years Of labor for the foreign account
but Owed it to their descendants to
! hold the country together. 1
"They must safeguard our new lib
erty," he said. There must be a will
to work and discipline in all ranks Of
society. There are no miraculous
charms to cure a nation. Even world
! revolution can not rid us OF the ma
! lady from which we are wearing away

sciousness can we succeed in Kissing

The Weimar dispatch carrying the
.ofhcial announcement that Germany
would sign the peace treaty was filed
in Weimar at 4:0s Sunday afternoon.
I Apparently it referred to the decision
of the German government to sign the
treaty@ith the reservations. m which
II gave notice to the allied powers and
which the latter rejected. Paris ad-
vices this morning show that the Ger
mans made an appeal for an additional
forty-eight hours to make known their
decision regarding the signing of the
treaty without any reservations. It
would thus appear that Germany has
not yet officially notified the peace
conference that she would sign the
treaty and accept all its terms.

lBy Associated PreSS.J
Paris. June 23-Germany today re-
quested an additional forty eight hours
within which to make known its de-
cision relative to the signing OF the
peace treaty without the reservations
refused by the allies. The council Of
three fatty refused the request. >.
The request for additional time
pleaded that change in the government
and the generally disturbed conditions
rangementS.
The communication from the Ger
mans was received at o'clock this
morning. At 8 o'clock President VIII
son and Premier Clemenceau met with
Premier Lloyd George at the latters
house for consideration Of the note.
The character Of this communication
was not disclosed however, until some
time later in the morning, when an
nouncement was made that the Ger
man request had been rejected.
To Sign Under Duress.
The German note to which the coun-
Gil Of four replied today by definitely
re jecting any suggestions for an alter
alton In the treaty declared that the
Germans regard the terms of peace as
impracticable and that their signature
is given under duress. Protests were
made against the clauses concerning
reparations, the forfeiture Of colonies
and others.
Asserting that the terms can not be
carried out and that the German gov
ernment can not be held responsible
for what may occur the note concluded
by saying that the Germans will sign,
with reservations relative to the turn
ing over Of those alleged to be guilty
OF crime and also the admission of the
guilt Of Germany In causing the war.
Time to Talk Past.
In replying. the council of four said
"The allied and associated powers
have considered the note OF the Ger
man delegation and in view Of their
shortness OF time remaining, feel it the
duty to reply at once. OF the time
within which the German government
must make its final decision as to the
signature Of the treaty, less than twen-
ty-four hours remain. The allied and
asscee!!st.s governments have given
fullest consideration to all representa-
tions hitherto made by the German
government with regard to the treaty
and have replied with complete frank
ness. They have made such conces-
sions as they thought 1t Just to make.
The present note of the German dele
cation presents no new arguments or
considerations not already examined"
The council then declared that the
time for discussion was past and that
thu German representatives must make
q decision to sign or reject the treaty.
