WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-Dramatic cap
ture OF the Kaiser, or possibly his
death on the fleld Of battle, was averted
only by the Intervention Of Ludendorff,
it was learned through authoritative
diplomatic disclosures here today.
Wilhelm's arrival at German general
headquarters. after his flight from Ber-
lin, was the signal for a revival Of spirit
Of the discouraged German troops, ac-
cOrding to disclosures. Several high
stan men suggested that the Kaiser go
into the midst OF the battle, II is
stated, and the suggestion was taken up
by the Prussian guards and other
staunch Teuton legiOns.
Ludendorff opposed the scheme, ii is
declared, on the ground that II would
result in no military gain and would
endanger the army's withdrawal.
The advices also disclosed the fact
that German general headquarters, on
August 10, admitted approaching defeat
and recommended the Kaiser's abdica-
tion. Chancellor Won Hertling fatty re-
fused to inform the Reichstag or the
press Of the true military situation, it
was declared.

SUGGEST REGIONAL
DIRECTORS IN STATSE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9-Rallroad in

He would be In charge Of a depart
ment Of transportation with powers TO

according to the plan outlined by r.
Dewitt Cuyler, spokesman for railroad
interests, before the senate Interstate
Commerce Committee.
Private ownership, managemnt and
operation was favored, with Federal in
corporation.
Functions Of the secretary Of the
transportation would include:
Recommendation as TO rates.
Determination OF. policies for i'm
proved transportation service.
Power to re-rOute trafilc over various
lines TO relieve congestion.
UniflcatiOn Of terminals.
Direction during war "Or serious

ton secretary. The commission would
continue TO act as a quasi-iudicial body
and would bein charge Of valuation and
accounting.
Federal Jurisdiction must be complete
over both state and interstate traffic,
Cuyler stated. But he proposed a
group OF regional commissions consist
ing OF one member from each State in
the various regions, these commissions
to have primary jurisdiction and act as
members Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in hearing all complaints.
The railroad executives presented this
plan as a preferable solution Of the

SEARCH FOR Slayer
LEADS OUTSIDE CITY
Detectives Get Clue That
May Solve Lacey Muir
der Mystery
SLEUTHS
CAUSE TROUBLE

While the State and city detectives
are bending every effort TO apprehend
the murderer or murderers Of Howard
NJ. Lacey, the taxi cab driver. theories
Of amateur detectives are causing the
professionals much annoyance. Although
the authorities have not shown their
hands il was stated this morning that
a new clue found yesterday looks
promising. This clue, it is understood,
has taken the detectives outside this
city.
According 10 a statement made TO
newspaper reporters by Gilpin 5. Wood
ward, Of No. iOi West Eighth
street last night and again today, the
man who sent the call in for the taxi
cab. was evidently aware of the traffic
laws and after ordering Lacey's car
walked TO Shipley street and entered
the car before il reached Eighth and
Shipley streets. Mr.. Woodward is sure
this was done, as he was standing on
the curbstOne in front OF his home
with Norman L. Crouch, Clerk OF the
Orphans Court, from $40 O'Clock TO $50
o'clock on the night the murder was
committed, a week ago last evening. He
says no car stopped there between
those hours.
Mr.. Woodward today said that the
car operated by Lacey evidently pass
ed him as he remembers an automobile
turning into West Eighth street from
Shiplcy street on the night Of the
murder. The driver peered out as
IL looking for an address.
II Lacey was the occupant Of this
car the question arises. why was he
driving toward the western portion Of
the city and how did he come to be
at Fourth and Walnut streets where
he was seen by Michael Kerlin, "a taxi
cab driver, one hour later?
According to Sergeant of Detectives
Green, information was furnished him
yesterday showing that two men. evi-
IDENTIFY strangers, had been acting suspi-
ciOusly here the night of the murder,
and had registered at a local hotel. An
investigation made, however, shows
that the strange men registered at the
hotel on Friday morning of last week,
nearly ~ hours after Laceys body had
been found. Just what connection these
two men could have had with the MUIR
der cannot be ascertained by the de-
tectiyes who look upon this particular
theory as a hoax.
