Causes Uneasiness.

Paris June 25.-Up to 4:45 o'clock
this afternoon no official word had
been received here regarding Ger
many's plans with regard to the
formal signing of the peace treaty.
The peace conference leaders were un-
disguisedly perplexed over the situa-
ton.
1t was conceded to be Impossible

ports were that it probably would be
delayed until Monday.

allied powers in Paris do not hear

German delegation for the signing OF
the peace treaty an ultimatum will be
sent to the German government, ac-
cording to the Paris office of Reu-

mand the appointment OF plenipoten-

hours.

sources Tuesday that Herr Mueller.

been chosen to sign the peace treaty
for Germany. but his associates were
not named in the dispatch.)

peace plenipotentiaries will take place
Friday night. 1t was originally
planned to hold the dinner on the
| night of the signing of the treaty, but
the uncertainty as to date for the cere-
mony has caused Friday to be named
definitely as the dinner date, irrespect-

This lack OF official advices from
lGermany7 with regard to the new plen-
| ipotentiaries has caused some uneasi-

circles and the plans for the signing
OF the treaty are in a complete state
OF suspense. Herr Haniel Won Hahn

Washington, June 25.-After two
hours discussion today of the resolu-
ton of Senator Fail, Republican, New

ing it to a vote in the senate later.
Committee Favors 1t.
A majority of the committee, ac-
cording to Senators Lodge and Fall,

the present an inopportune time to
press it.

army appropriation bill Senator
Borah. Republican. Idaho. in a fiery
speech declared the treaty was a
guarantee of war; He said the
"acid test" of the document was not

determination of people to the people
OF enemy countries. but to peoples
dominated by the allies

Borah asserted, should have been Civ

Bologna, June 25.-The trial of AL
fred CocchL charged with the murder
of Ruth Cruger. New York school girl.
in 1917. has been interrupted for an
indefinite period to enable the court
TO examine the papers in the trial of
Cocchie wife. There was a spirited
exchange between Signor Bagnon.
president of the court. and Cocchi yes
terday over the latter's change of at
titude toward the crime, in which the
court spoke vehemently in citing in
cidents narrated in the confession
made by Cocchi and the findings of
American tribunals.
Cocchi told of having sawed the
body of Miss Cruger so that he might
hide it, Then he broke down. crying
in broken voice:
Il took the body and tried to con-
ceal it in the cellar but the door was
not large enough and I sawed the
body in two. The girl was dead when
this was done"
Then followed a discussion between
Signor BagnoH and Cocchi as TO
whether the girl was dead before her
body was dismembered. The whole
courtroom was aghast at the prisoners
narration but Cocchi rapidly proceed
ed with his story. being apparently
very nervous.
Three Versions of Murder.
The court is confronted by three
versions of the murder. Prosecutor
Franchini told the press he did not
expect the investigation to be COM
pleted before next spring.
Today's session of the trial, which
opened orly yesterday, brought out
these versions:
/. The prosecution charged that
Cocchi killed the girl after assaulting
her in his repair shop in New YORK,
February l3, 1917.
?. Cocchi refuted former alleged
confessions and declared his wife
killed Miss Cruger because of 1eal-
ousy. saying he confessed to shield her
and his children.
8. A letter was introduced, said to
have been written by J. j. Lynch,
New York. stating that Miss Cruger
died from a criminal operation and
was buried by white slavers in
Cocchis shop.
Describes the Murder.
Cocchis examination began this
morning. He created a sensation,
when, without any warning-so far
as the prosecution or court was con-
cerned-he began calmly to tell how
Miss Cruger visited his shop to have
her skates sharpened, and how his
wife entered and attacked the girl
from behind, killing her with blow
from a tool.
Cacchi emphatically denied he as
saulted the girl. Sobbing loudly he
described how he proceeded to con-
ceal the body to shield his wife. He
told OF his wifes alleged jealousy,
his sufferings and his encounters with
detectives. Then he decided to flee

CALL FOR HANDS!
Harvesters Are Wanted in All
Parts of State.
100 Are Needed in Vicinity of
Topeka.

Shawnee county needs more harvest
hands. So does the entire state. One
hundred men can get jobs tonight
within forty miles of Topeka by apply
ing at the federal employment bureau
on East Fifth street, it was stated
there today. Salina, Wichita, Hutch
inson and other sections are beginning
to "holler'' for help as the harvest be-
comes heavier. Several hundred men
can be given work at once in various
parts of the state.
In Shawnee county the 10000. 900
bushel wheat harvest is well under
way, but the shortage of help is great
er than was anticipated. 1t was said
that many men did not want to work
near Topeka, have gotten the idea
that the fields are small and the work
will not last long. But men who have
once been placed can be moved on
again as soon as their work is done. it
was pointed out, and thus follow the
harvest north until all the grain in
the great wheat belt is cut.
Fasteners Here.
Hundreds of men from almost
every eastern state are now coming
into Kansas in an ever-growing
stream, it was declared About two
hundred men have been placed in
jobs within the last two days, but
still there is a shortage of help. Hun
dreds of wheat growers are taking
prompt advantage of the good
weather to get their wheat harvested
before rainy weather sets in again.
In this county the harvest will prob
ably be over within week or ten
days.
New appeals for help are coming
faster and from more widely scattered
sections of the state every day. The
employment bureau is swamped with
kilograms. At least 500 men could
be placed in jobs at once, it was as
