MYSTERIOUSLY KILL
 ANTIQUE COLLECTOR

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-No trace has been found by the police of the mur- derer of George A. Robee. eccentric bachelor and art connoisseur whose body was found today in his richly fur nished bedroom in an exclusive Iodg- ing house which he conducted in Madi- so navenue, opposite the home of J. Pierpont Morgan. He evidently was struck down with an antique wea pon taken from his own collection.
 The murder closely resembles that of Winfield Scott Philhower. another art collector and a friend of Robee's who was slain in his house here two months ago with a sabre which hung on the wall.
 Robee's body was found by his col ored servant. The apparent motive for the murder was the theft of three dia - mond rings valued at sl.0o0.

PASSING OF JANUARY

The first month of the year 1919
will pass away at twelve o'clock to-
night. With its exist the first half of
winter will be among the things Of
the past. Of course severe weather
often comes in February and March.
1t maybe 50 this year
But compared with conditions last
year, the winter Of l9lS-I919, has,
so far, been comparatively mild.
While northwest winds, lowering the
temperature considerably. have at
times PASSED over this section. we
have not been visited by what nay be
called a.izzards. and the cold waves
have no5 tarried long.
The month Of January is ordinary
accompanied BY more deaths than any
ether Of the calendar. Grip generally
prevails. and this rlalady often re.
suits in death 10 the old and infr!n.
On an average about one death q
day has occurred in Alexandria dur-
ing the month about to pass away.
The average under normal conditions
is about one every other day. We
refer, Of course, to white adults.
At this time last year or city was
confronted BY the fuel problem. Coal
vas exceedingly scarce, and procnr-
ing fuel was problem which caused
anxiety to many It will be remem
bered that long lines of people stood
in the CITY Hall awaiting their turns
TO buy one load of coke.
1t is not so now. Coal can be OBJ
tsined, while work at remuncr1;ivc
wages IS plentiful.

LLOYD GEORGE
HASNEW RIVAL

SIR AUCKLAND GEDDES' CHANCES
FOR PREMIERSHIP CONTING-
EMIT JPN SUCCESSFUL SOLU-
TON IRISH PROBLEMS.

| London, Nov. "A new rival for
Lloyd George has risen in his own
ranks. according to members assem-
bled for the reopening OF parliament.
Intrigue against Lloyd George has been
growing in widening circles during
recess, as generally known, but only
| inside circles know that Sir Auckland
Geddes is the choice of the active group
for premiership. His leadership will
not be publicly acknowledged until
events warrant. The occasion is an
ticipated in the debate of the Irish
cabinet committee OF which Geddes
is a member.
This report is all the more credible
in the light of information received
from another source that serious diff
ferences have arisen in the Irish COM
mittee. Geddes' supporters outside are
busy preparing an attempt to dis
lodge Walter Long and F. E. Smith.
now Lord Birkenhead, from the conn.,
mittee and advocates of negotiated
peace for Ireland, support them because
those two are Ulster partisans and rem
der settlement impossible.
Geddes' future depends on success

Fisher, Roberts and Kellaway, have no
Irish past and equally desire success.
These four have privately adopted all
Irish dominion rule as the only possible
solution. This is anathema to Long

little weight and would probably leave
Long and join Geddes if the latter
looked like winning and anyhow would
not count If Long and Birkenhead were
unseated.
Geddes' friends say that If unable
to dominate the committee, Geddes
will issue a minority report. They
reckon Lloyd George would be forced
to act on majority report. Then the
Commons would rush Lloyd George
into an election in which the two re-
ports would be the main issue with
Geddes as his opponent.

list OF indictments that will create the
greatest political upheaval in the his
tory Of the state. or finds that Tru-
man H. Newberry was legitimately
elected by unquestionably legitimate
methods.
The grand jury inqiry is backed by
the federal law that went into effect
on October 16, 1918, placing prosecu-
tions for the corrupt use of money in
election in federal hands. Under this
statute the government can cause the
arrest of any person who bought a
vote. sold a vote or conspired to buy
or sell vote. The law went into ef-
feet just three weeks before the cleo
ton was held in which Newberry was
