writes this screed has not been in

in that time or disappeared.

Havana had population of only
$4,000 at the last census, and that of
the entire province probably does not
exceed 100000 at this time, so that in
the point of newspaper patronage the
Havana public goes far beyond the
average American city of the same
relative proportions.

personal And personal journalism is
always political. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that in a country which
makes a fetch of liberty of the press,
as all Spanish American countries do,
editorial pens are dipped in vitriol as
often as in ink.
Take, for example, the "Heraldo de
Cuba once edited by M. Marquee
Sterling, later one of the editors of LA
Nacion," but whose retirement from
journalistic enterprise has been ex-
pected for some weeks. Originally an

Prince Woodro,c?

But perhaps the most curious Of
all is a story, purporting to be
quoted from the "Neue Wiener
Tageblatt," to the effect that among
the superstitious peasantry of the
Iyrol the belief has taken root that
President Wilson is no other thar
the Crown Prince Rudolf, son of the
late Emperor Francis Joseph.
The Crown Prince, SO the myth
runs, was not killed in the famous
tragedy of the Castle of Mierling,
back in 1889, but merely kidnapped
by his enemies and dummy was
buried in his stead. Later, we are
told, he succeeded in escaping to
America, where he assumed the
name Woodrow Wilson and rose
eventually to the Presidency. The
pious mountaineers are now praying
terventiy that he may return and
redeem his beloved and faithful
lyrolese from their present predie.

membered that DR.. Bauer and his

This little piece is also significant
because it shows clearly that, who

comes evident from other articles

Have Not Disclosed
 Identity
Believe Milford Murder Was
 Committed West of Place 1 of Discovery.
TAKE VICTIMS
 FINGER PRINTS

Officials in charge of the investi- gation of the murder of the unknown Italian, whose body was found near the roadside on the Post road in Milford Wednesday morning, are still in the dark as to the identity of termined search is being made for the Packard car which was seen in the vicinity. but up to the present time the death machine has not been located
 It was reported today, that the po- lice are inclined to believe the crime was committed somewhere west of Milford. The officers base this sup position on the fact thae the body was found on the right haEd side of the road going towards New Haven. It is very likely that the murderers killed their man in some out-of-the- way place, carried his body as far as Milford, dumped it into the bushes and proceeded on towards New Ha- ven. Had the car bearing the bodz been proceeding towards Bridgeport, it is probable that the remains would have been concealed on the opposite side of the road.
 The mans finger prints were taken yesterday by a New Haven detective, and will be compared with records held by the police, the army and the Department of Justice. It is believed that the man was of draft age, and might have been in the army. It is also possible that he may have been recorded as an enemy alien.

EXPECTING
 RESIGNATION
 OF ARCHDuKE

Paris, Aug. p The Supreme Council of the peace conference ex- poets to hear of the resignation of Archduke Joseph as head of the Hungarian government within a few days. Apparently the council is of the opinion that it is not necessary to take any more drastic steps than those outlined in the instructions sent to the inter-Allied military mission in Budapest on Tuesday or Wednesday for delivery to the Hungarian gov ernment.
 In the instructions, the council set forth that it did not regard the gov< ernment of Archduke Joseph as in any sense a popular one and declar- ed it would not deal with it.
 Herbert Hoover, head of the In ternational RSlief Orga ganization, who has returned from a trip to Central Europe, knew of these instructions when he appeared before the council yesterday and believed them to be too mild to bring results.

 War Time
 Food Act
Amendments Put t i Il 2 "Teeth" In It Before the
 House Today.
THINK PROFITEERING
 IN SUGAR IS ENDED

Washington, Aug. 22.---Amendments to the war time food control act, ex- tending the measure to peace times and putting teeth in it, as requested by Attorney General Palmer, were before the House today. The act, as amended by the Agricultural Commit tee and unanimously reported late yesterday, was broadened to include wearing apparel, containers of food, feed or fertilizer and fuel oil; brings retailers within the scope of its pro visions and provides a maximum pen alty of two years Imprisonment and a S5,0o0 fine for profiteering. Farmers are exempted, the committee declar- ing there was an absence of evidence to show profiteering in their case.
 Should the recommendations of the committee be adopted government of f1cials and members of Congress be- | lieve a long step forward will ave been taken in the fight to lower the cost of living. Numerous other bills affecting various features of the prob lem are pending in both branches of Congress.
 An end to prof1teering in sugar was believed assured with the announce ment last night that active control of prices of this commodity had been re- sumed by the government through an agreement between the food admin istratton and the department of Jus tice under license will be revoked by the former when it is shown by the latter that the dealers have been proffteering. A statement in con- nection with the announcement said sugar should reach the consumer at II cents a pound.

CAPT. WHEELER AND AARON IN
 ROAD RACE

Julian Aaron. of 31 Butler avenue. landed himself in the City Court today as the result of an attempt to match his ''f1iv'' with Capt. Wheeler's pc: Ford in a speedy derby along Sta te street about o'clock this morning. Julian ran second in both the speed and legal battles, and paid a fine of s25 for his racing tactics.
 Captain Wheeler was bowling mer- rily along this morning, and at the corner of Clinton avenue and State street passed Aaron and his "f1iv." Aaron pulled out a little, and shot by the captain.
 At the corner of Warren and State streets. the captain pulled up on even terms with Aaron, showed his badge and the race was over.
 In court this morning, Aaron stat ed that he was not making very high speed. Captain Wheeler thinks however that any car has got to be able to step some to get away from his Ford.

NAMES OF TWO LABOR
 LEADERS ORDERED T0 QUIT CITY AREkNOWN
Shenkan and LefkOwitZ Among Four of the w. I. |. U. Strike Heads Who Have Been Or dered to Move by PO- lice-They Will Re fuse to Go.

Two of the four alleged la Dor leaders, who, as reported exclusively in The Times yes terday. had been ordered by Superintendent of Police Red gate to leave Bridgeport, threw down the gauntlet to the mayor and officials today and flatly refused to obey the ultimatum.
 These two strike leaders. Isaac Shenkan, not a resident of this city, having AS hours of grace, and Louis Lefkowitz, local organizer of the w I. U, in which Shenkan is also an organizer, today informed the po- lice that they would not leave the city, and defied Redgate to deport them.
 Redgate when seen by a Times representative this morning refused to divulge the names of the four radicals to whom he delivered his ultimatum but the fact that Lefko-
 
 number was confirmed from another source. The other two men, whose names have not been learned, are associates of the men ordered out of town.
 It~is understood that Mayor Wilson has ordered the police to deport the labor men if they refuse to go, but in legal circles the opinion was ex pressed that the police could not pursue this course, as they have not the legal right.
 The police were busy today in their efforts to secure evidences of un- Americanism against the labor agita- tors as they were termed by Mayor Wilson in his statement yesterday. They are counting upon a general CO., operation of citizens and civic bodies to attain their ends.
 In statement issued this morning from the headquarters of Shenkan and Lefkowitz, they pointed out that if they had done anything in violation of law they would have quickly enough been arrested and that the po- lice dare not arrest them. The state ment threw the blame on the mayor for attempting now to create antag- onisms by ordering the men out of town.
