mel E. NJ. House, one of the United
States peace delegates, has been
asked to investigate the disappear
ance of Robert Minor, a newspaper
correspondent and cartoonist, who

December. He was formerly em-
ployed by the New York World and
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
His trunk is still in his hotel. but

BERCER'S SEAT
IS CONTESTED
Case Comes to Issue as Democratic
Candidate Claims Right
Over Socialist.

Washington, June 11.-Victor
Berger's right to sit in the house
of representatives, while under a
20-year sentence for violation of
the espionage act, was brought to
an issue today before the house
elections committee.
Running on the Socialist ticket,
Berger defeated Joseph p. Carny,
Democrat, and William H. Stafford,
Republican, in November. 1918. He
then was under Indictment and
subsequently was convicted, but is
at liberty on bail pending an appeal
to the supreme court.
The committee had before it to-
day brief filed by Harry r. Nc
Logan, counsel for Carny, setting
forth that the latter was entitled
to represent the Fifth Wisconsin
district and that Berger was dis
qualified and ineligible. The brief
charged that from the date of
Americas entrance into the war,
until the date of the November,
1918 election, Berger, as editor of
the Milwaukee Leader. had been
injecting subtle poison into the
public mind with intent to inter
fere with the operation or success
of the military or naval forces Of
the United States"

ed her right hip.
Ratz testified he knew nothing of
the accident until the next morn
ing. Il asked Reddish how the ac-
cident occurred" Ratz testified.
He replied that his mother made
a misstep and fell"

sician's room?" the prosecutor
asked.

tickets, one for a watch and one
for a pistol One of the tickets was
found hidden in a light globe and
the other in the wash basin"

clan told him, Yes, two pieces of
paper-they were very valuable"

DESPAIR FILLS
COUNTRY SAYS
AUSTRO CHIEF
Renner, in Message to
Peace Farley Com
plains of Terms.

Paris, Tuesday, June 10.-Karl
Renner. Austrian chancellor and
head of the Austrian peace mis-
sion, has sent a letter to the peace
conference complaining of the
hard conditions" imposed upon
his country, which he says, is "ov-
erwhelmed with despair" and
pointing out the complexity of the
Austrian frontier question. The
letter will be laid before the coun-
Gil of four tomorrow.
Little progress is being made in
the drafting of the missing arti-
cles of the treaty with Austria, ow-
ing to the greater urgency of COM
pleting negotiations with the Ger
mans. One American official, who
is working on the Austrian treaty,
asked today when the rest of the
summary would be available, re-
piled:
There may not be any more.
The Austrians have more now ap-
parently than they are able to
sign"
The same waiting attitude is OBJ
served regarding the Hungarian
treaty, parts of which are identical
with the German and Austrian
treaty and are already in print. A
tentative draft of the frontiers of
Hungary has been prepared for
submission to the council of four
but there is no expectation that
the council viii begin serious con-
sideration of the Hungarian settle
ment until the expected changes
in the Austrian and German pacts
are out of the way.
