Taylor was released from Jail. ~ !,
It was . happy family that accom-

If there was anything he could do.
The man then told Endicott that

an whose body was found near Plum
He described Taylor and
said that he knew the whole story.
He said that Taylor had said that his
wife was In Portland and that her
mother and father had searched tor
and been unable to find her: that
Taylor and his wife had Quarreleo
and that he knew where he could be
found.
The police department turned this
information over to the sherinanm -
fee and the sheriff has been worki&E
on it for two weeks. The result OF

BRITISH LABOR
| PARTY MEETS
Principal Interest Lies in Question
of Industrial Action to Secure
Political Aims.

Southport. Eng. June 25.-The
main interest of the outside world
in the nineteenth annual confer
ence of the labor party which op-
ems in Southport today, lies in the
question of industrial action to Sc
cure political. aims. The infiuen-
tial section of the triple alliance of
miners, railway men and transport
workers has long favored exercis-
ing the power of the alliance to
compel compliance with the de-
mands for the abolition of con-
scription, the withdrawal of troops
from Russia, the release of con-
scientious objectors and other, OBJ
jectors. These leaders were deep
ly disappointed at their recent fail
committee of the trade union con-
gress to call a special conference
to discuss the proposals.
The action taken by the execu-
tive of the triple alliance last night
in deciding to convene a special
conference in London, July % to
consider action to compel parlia-
ment to comply with the three
principal demands, was independ-
ent of today's conference. The ac-
ton taken by the London confer
ence however, will be materially
affected by the attitude of the pres
ent conference, at which the con-
troversy between the advocates of
industrial and constitutional meth
DDS will be discussed from every
angle in the debate on the various
resolutions and amendments be-
fore the body, as it is known that
there is considerable divergence of
opinion among the labor men on
the question.
Among other matters awaiting
the attention of the conference is
the organization of labor in antici-
patton of the next general election
in which the opinion of many OBJ
servers is not far distant.

TELLS COURT
BODY OF GIRL
Cocchi, Alleged Slayer of
Ruth Cruger, Relates
Grewsome Tale.

Bologna, Italy, June 25.-The
trial of Alfred Cocchi, charged with
the murder of Ruth Cruger in New
York in 1917. has been interrupt
ed for an indefinite period to en-
can court records as to testimony
regarding Cocchi's wife. There was
a spirited exchange between the
court and Cocchi yesterday.
Cocchi told of having sawed the
body of Miss Cruger SO that he
might hide it. Then he broke
down, crying in a broken voice:
81 took the body and tried to con-
ceal it in the cellar, but the door
was not large enough and l sawed
the body in two. The girl was
dead when this was done"
Then followed a discussion as
to whether the girl was dead be-
fore her body was dismembered.
The whole court room was aghast
at the prisoners narration.
dispatches Tuesday from Bo-
logna stated that Cocchi had de-
clared that his wife was guilty of
the murder of Ruth Cruger, who
was slain in Cocchi's bicycle repair
shop in New York city in 1917. 1t
evidently is the purpose of the
court to examine the records Of
the New York grand jury which ex-
onerated Mrs. Cocchi)
Gives Reason for Delay.
Judge Bagnoli, the president of
the court, gave this explanation of
the postponement to the Associated
Press:
We were afraid the story relat-
ed by Cocchi and his charges
against his wife had Influenced the
jury which appeared TO US to be
somewhat affected by this develop
ment. We will await a transcript
of the evidence in the wife's case.
We expect to continue the trial be-
fore October"

REFUSE MEDICAL
AID BY HOLDING
DISEASE A CURSE

Spalato, Bosnia.-(By MaiD -
Fifteen per cent of the population
in Bosnia is absolutely destitute.
Typhus is on the increase both in
Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although
only 800 cases of typhGs are off,
cially reported the American medi-
cal authorities believe that there
are more than 5000. Great diff
ficulty is experienced by the author
tiles in inspecting Mohammedan
homes where three-quarters of the
cases are believed to be concealed.
Mohammedan women refuse to
be treated by male doctors no mat
ter how serious their illness. Many
of the Christian natives think 1t
unmanly to have the attention Of
a doctor or nurse.
I'VE are not afraid to die" the
hardy mountaineers assert when
medical aid is offered them. why
all this fuss? Disease is a curse
from God but if He sees fit to send
it to use we must die like men"
The Bosnian government. how
ever, has closed all moving picture
houses, dance halls and places Of
public congregation and is attempt
ing to introduce a plan whereby a
medical certificate will be required
of every traveller on the railways.
A veritable plague of lice over
runs the country. They are to be
found everywhere carrying with
them the germs of typhus. One OF
the greatest needs Of the natives is
soap of which there is none to be
had. Typhus is following the lines
of communication, especially the
railways. American Red Cross
personnel, member of the Hoover
food mission and American naval
officers avoid the railways as the
cars are infested with typhus lice.

STRIKE OFF AT
WINNIPEG, CAN,
AFTER SIX WKS.
Long Tieup Ends AS
Labor Heads Order
Men Back.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, June Is
After nearly six weeks of indus
trial strike, Winnipeg's general
sympathmetic strike has been call
ed off. Shortly before midnight
last night the central strike COM
mittee came to an agreement to
order all men back to work at IL
a. m. tomorrow, exactly six weeks
from the time it was called.
While the strike committee has
not made an official announcement,
the decision, it is learned from au-
thoritative sources, is authentic.
1t is learned that the calling off
of the strike is unconditional. Con-
ferences of labor leaders yesterday
with Premier Norris of Manitoba
and other provincial officials failed
to obtain any concessions.
The general strike here was call
ed May Is, in sympathy with metal
workers here, who had been out
on a strike for several weeks to
secure collective bargaining and
recognition of the metal trades
council.
Practically every public and pri-
vate industry was tied up in the
first walkout Firemen, postoffice
workers, city hall employees, all
joined with department store
clerks, street car employees, water
works employees and men in de-
livery services.
Want stared Winnipeg citizens in
the face for many days, when
stores were closed for lack of
clerks, and milk, bread and other
necessities were almost unabtain-
able.
Food depots were established by
the city after the first few days
and were operated intermittently
until a few days ago.
Within a fortnight after the gen
eral strike was called here, many
western Canadian cities were sim
iIarly affected. Calgary, where the
one big union movement was
launched at a radical convention
last winter was one of the first
cities to be tied up. Edmonton,
Regina, Vancouver and other big
cities of western Canada suffered
partial tieups.
Except in Winnipeg, railroad
traffic was but little hampered. and
efforts of the International broth
erhoods to replace workmen who
struck in violation of union orders,
rapidly restored crippled railroad
facilities here
Two Riots Occur.
Two riots marked the course of
the strike here.
Last Saturday an attempt to hold
a ''massed silent parade" in viola
ton of MaYor Gray'S orders result
ed in the deaths of two strikers,
and the wounding or injury of two
score strikers, constables and
mounted police.
A week ago today the dominion
authorities sprang a coup by an
early morning seizure of IL strike
leaders. A few days later all but
four aliens were released on bonds
and conferences with union labor
leaders on the strike committee re-
suited in announcement that they
would be given trials in open court
here, instead of the deportation
proceedings which was at first an
nounced.
Other Strikes To End.
Although at the beginning it was
estimated 10000 workers of the
city's population of 100000 had
walked out, the return to work has
been gradual since the first two
weeks. The strikes at Calgary
and Edmonton were also called off
last night and officials and labor
leaders expected that Vancouver
and Victoria strikers would be at
work in a few days.
