death
The body was discovered by N. II.

photographic survey. and his assist
ant. II. c. Costello. whose offices are
at 2os Burke building.
Coroner Goes 20 Scene
They towed the body to the par
entail school dock and summoned the
coroner.
A special launch carried Coroner
TSffin and his assistant, Frank
Koepfli. Sheriff stringer, Deputy
Sheriffs Beebc. Hamiin and Murdock.
and newspaper reporters to the spot
where the body reposcd.
On Mrs. MIlier's wrist was watch
which had stopped with the hands
pointing to $40.
Sheriff Stringer placed importance
on the fact that the body was found
floating three miles from the spot
where Miller says his wife disap-
peared below the surface OF the
water.
Coroner Tiffin said he would
hold an autopsy Wednesday night
to determine for a certainty
whether the woman was drowned
or was dead before the body en-
tered the lake. He will also ex-
anime the stomach. he said, for
possible traces of poison.
The body was found floating face
downward. The lower part OF the
woman's coat. upturned. shrouded
her head like a hood. Her hands
were tightly cienched.
From outward Appearances"
said Coroner Tiffin. Il am inclined
to believe Miller's story that she
was drowned. Phe only circum-
stance not In MIller's favor,
would say. Is the fact that the
body was found such a long dis
tance from where he said his wife
went overheard. And even So the
man might have been so confused
in his excitement that he couldn't
tell where he was"
After the preliminary examination
the body was placed aboard the OF.

for more careful investigation.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney T.
III. Patterson said today Miller's
freedom practically hinges on the
results OF a careful examination of
the body of his dead wife.
As long as Miller sticks to his
original story. and no conclusive
new evidence is established by ex.
animation Of his wife's body. Pat
terson will continue his investiga-
tion on two conflicting theories.
One theory is that Mrs. Miller.
crazed with despair and despond-
ency. afraid to face a body .wrecking
six weeks cure for the morphine
habit, suddenly decided to drown her
sorrows In the depths of Lake
Washington ard jumped overheard.
The other theory is that her hus-
band. during n sudden fit of tenn
per, knocked the woman overheard.
Patterson has definitely concluded
that the launch trip was ION the
square'--as the deputy prosecutor
expresses II. He believes that Miller
and his wife started out to cross the
lake to the Lakeside sanitarium,
where Mrs. Miller was to undergo
six weeks treatment for the NOR
phine habit. This plan had been
agreed upon. after Miller had de.
clared he would not seek a divorce
II his wife could be cured OF the
drug habit.
"She declared she had been cured
Of the drug habit" says Patterson,
while her husband was not willing
to believe her"

ny establishing a direct connection
between radical elements in the
United States and tho Bolsheviki clan
Of Europe" was given yesterday to
the Overman subcommittee of the
senate judiciary committee, which is
investigating German propaganda.
The witness was Archibald E. Stew
enson, former special agent of the de-
partment OF justice, and member of
the military intelligence staff.
Stevenson included the Socialist
party and the l. w. w. among the or
ganizations in this country which are
part of the worldwide Bolshevik
movement. He made the fiat state
ment that the radical movement
which we have in the United States
today had it's origin in Germany, be-
cause 1t came here from the Bolshevik
in Russia, which was financed by Ger
man money.
The witness said that in 1914, short
ly before the war began, a conference
was held in Brussels which was dom
mated by Nicolai Lenine Rosa Luxem-
burg and Karl Liebknecht. Delegates
from the United States. he said, in
cluded Victor Berger, Of Milwaukee,
and Kate Richards O'Hare. He de-
clared this vas the beginning of the
Dolsheviki movement.

as arbitrator is said to be moving to-
ward settlement and can probably be
adjusted without reference to the
peace congress. AS yet Colombia has
not made anay overtures In reference
to her differences with the United
States and no formal steps have been
taken to bring any of the scores OF
Laun-American boundary disputes to
the attention of the congress, although
it is expected that many of these his
toric controversies will be referred to
the league OF nations, as the logical
tribunal for their consideration.
Panama Status Up.
Should the status of Panama be
changed as result Of a possible new
international policy, it is expected
that Latin-American nations as a
ing for modification of what Is said
to be regarded as limitation Of their
rights OF sovereignty by the United
States. Investigation of the league Of
nations of Colombia's alleged assist
ance to the German navy by permit
ting the use Of her islands, is also re-
garded as probable.
Many diplomats interested In the
league Of nations believe that bound
airy disputes, especially those in re-
mote sections OF Latin-America are
largely due to the lack OF accurate
surveys and the dearth Of scientific
ally collected historical data. They
are confident that by assisting in the
of this data. the league
can remove many possible causes OF

WASHINGTON

Beginning with one of the most nov
ell ideas in the whole realms Of fiction,
the producers Of "The Romance of
Tarzan," which comes to the Washing
ton theatre next Sunday, have lavish
ed money, brains and energy upon
the theme of Edgar Rice Burroughs
mastery book, with unusually happy
results.
The new cinema drama presents the
concluding chapters of 'Tarzan of the
Apes" in manner that surpasses the
original production. according to the
judgment of metropolitan critics who
have reported pre-release showings OF
the massive seven-reel picture play.
Featuring practically the same re-
markable cast of players who made
"Tarzan of the Apes" one of the out
standing triumphs of recent years,
"The Romance of Tazan," which dra-
matizes the concluding chapters of
Edgar Rice Burroughs great story of
jungle life, comes to the Washington
theatre next Sunday for run of three
days.

Lou Tellegen Pleases
in NelU Mel0drama

The Lou Tellegen brand Of melodra-
ma pleased a large crowd of theater
goers at the Murray last night.
Tellegen is a finished actor. He is
also a handsome man, with an ardent
manner that has established him as a
matinee idol. His acting is at times
over-dramtic, according to American
standards, but he never fails of effect.
In Blind Youth" which was the play
showing at the Murray, Tellegen has
role to which he is well adapted.
He plays the part of an artist whose
life is almost ruined by Vampire"
but who finds new hope and nobler
love in America. The climax of the
production develops when Tellegen
pretends to love the woman who be-
trayed him, in order to save his young
err brother, and is discovered by the
woman to whom he had just been be-
trothed. Everything ends well. the
vampire is foiled, and the young broth
er saved, although the general con-
census of opinion is that he wasn't
worth the agony that his saving called
forth.

suffering without making a display

He does a great deal of staggering

degree when he hears the name of
