maSans Think Rebel
Chief Burst His Coffin

Chautla, Mexico. Legends al
ready are beginning to spring up
among the superstitious and ig-
norant regarding Emiliano Zap
alta, the rebel chief who met
death here on April 10. In an
attempt to preserve the bandits
body as long as possible to give
the greatest number Of his fol-
lowers a chance to see 1t, it
was packed in ice, in the abb
sence of embalming fluids. The
ice burst the sides and top Of
the flimsy coffin and gave rise
to superstitious tales that the
"Attila of the South" as Zap
alta was called, was not really
dead, but had burst his coffin
and escaped.

Two events have stirred the Sparta
cans Of Germany to renewed activity
that leads to the prediction that they
will soon make another organized at
tempt to overthrow the government.
One was the finding in the Landwehr
canal of a body declared to be that of
RED Rosa" Luxemburg, their MUIR
dered woman leader. The other was
the discovery that Capt. Won Plug Har-
tung and Lieutenant Liebman, who
were convicted Of the murder of Lieb-
knecht, had been allowed to escape
from prison on false release orders
and get to Holland on false passports.
1t had been known that Lieut.. Kurt
VOgel, convicted Of the same crime.
had escaped in the same way. All this
has aroused great bitterness against
the government in the minds of many
people.

into quagmire.
II have driven cars for some years,
1 have hit hog-back roads, I have hit
ordinary country roads, but I must say
that I never struck going as difficult as
that which we struck between Fort
Wayne and Detroit.
For example, there was one stretch
particularly, practically s5 miles, with
deep bitches on the side, mud that was
never less than six inches deep, with
the rain coming down in sheets and
making the roads nothing but a pond.
Beyond that we hit one stretch of
seven miles where the mud was so deep
that the car which was going through
in front of us with four chains on it,
left no impress whatever. In other
words, 1t was just a sea of clay and
water.
The Apperson walked through it as

ward almost On several occasions ]
had to set my brakes, yet I never had
skid. Through it all I very seldom
mad to put the car in second and never
had to put it in low.
You hear of fiexibility on the city
poulevards where you slow your car
down to four miles an hour and go
ahead in high, but the joy of this ride
10 me was the fact that some times
we were going as slow as five miles
an hour, at other times we were run

AGREE ON ARMY
OF 325,OOO MEN
Senate and House Conferees
Fix Appropriation For
Next Year

Washington, June 2s.-Senate and
House conferees on the Army appro-
priation late yesterday reached an
agreement to fix the average size of
the 1920 Army at $4,000 officers
and men. This total is $4,000 less
than that proposed by the Senate
and $4,000 more than the strength
authorized originally by the House.
The agreement, reached after the
members of the conference commit
tee had talked with General March,
chief of staff, means that for the
last nine months of the year ending
June 80, 1920, the Army will be
composed of 225,000 officers and
men, made necessary by the surplus
above $4,000 during the next three
months.
In announcing that $4,000 was
the figure agreed upon. Chairman
Wadsworth, of the Senate military
committee, said it was the lowest
number that could be named and
still keep the Army within the limits
prescribed by the National Defense
act which required the maintenance
of an Army of 225,000.

Without any further comment here
with is quoted from letter received
from w. A. Pritchard, of Detroit, de-
scribing his experience with his APP

FIND BAG OF
BONES HOTEL
Had Been Waiting a Claimant
There For Almost
Four Years
Bu Associated Press.

New York, June %. A brown
leather bag filled with human bones
was found last night in checking room
of the Mills Hotel here. According
to the police the bag was checked in
the hotel in November, 1915. and has
been awaiting a claimant since then.
The bones include the skull of a
man about 40 years old. Some of
them appeared to have been cut with
a saw which gave rise to the theory
that they may have been the property
of a medical student.
DR.. George Hohmann, assistant
medical examiner declared the bones
were the relics of a murder.
"They show every indication that
a murder has been committed" he
said, because of the way they are
mutilated."
The leather case in which the bones
were found bore the blurred initials
/. N. A"
Each bone was wrapped separately
in pages of a New York newspaper
bearing the dates of Sunday. Septem-
Der IL. 1915. and Monday September
81, 1915.
