MAN IN BLUE SUIT
sought IN KNAPP
MURDER MYSTERY
Clue to Identity of Aged Build
ing Owners Companion
Furnished by Woman.

Entering upon the third day of
the Knapp mystery, the Staying OF
Charles A. Knapp, seventy-one years
old. in his tenantlcss saloon at No. 80
Bedford Street, detectives were look
ing for:
The man I'm the blue coat or
Jumper whom Mrs. Florence
Chris OF No. So Barrow street
saw entering the dismantled sa-
loon with Mr, Knapp about IL
o'clock Wednesday,
The 1-2 karat diamond stick pin
taken by the murderer when he
cut Knapp's tie almost in two,
Anybody who heard Knapp tel
ephoning for a glazie-Rfrom an
other saloon and who my have
followed him,
The police have brought one man
to Headquarters to look at the pic
lures in the RogueS' Gallery. Ills
name was not disclosed. Whether
he found anything worth while is not
known,
Knapp's funeral Will be held at .
o'clock tomorrow afternoon at No,
IA East 3oth street, Manhattan. Ia
tcrment will be In Greenwood Gene
terry.
The mystery was almost twenty
four hours old before the police
learned that Knapp had been seen en-
ter1ng the side door of the saloon and
that he was not alone,
Mrs. Florence Chris saw the pair
from the window OF her apartment at
No. Sc Barrow Street enter the build
ing about II o'clock Wednesday. She
did not pay particular attention to the
strange. All she knows about him Ia
that he was dressed in blue, She isn't
surc whether he wore a coat or the
blue jumper ot a laborer,
Detectives to-day took up tracing
Of Mr.. Kuapp's last day and covered
his actual route go far as it has been
made known, They began with him
in the saloon of Piotro Maffari, at
Commerce and Bedford Streets,
whence he telcphoned to the Myers
Plate Glass and Window Company,
No. lS1 Lafayette Street to send a
man TO No, 50 Bedford Street and
take away the saloon mirrors the
Myers Company had bought at suc-
ton the day before, One theory is
That he may have been followed from
MaffarfS
The story OF Mrs Chris shows that
Knapp was accompanied by a man
not previously unknown TO him.
Knapp carried n package wrapped in
brown paper. Mrs, Chris says aad,
uhen he went 20 unlock the door,
handed this parccl 20 the man in blue,
The saloon Al No, SO Bedford Street
had been 1cnanileSs for about five
months The last tenant was John
Leonard
Some interested in the case con-
slider it important that the man who
shot Knapp from behind should have
eft untouched not only the $50 in
mis- pocket but the Geneva-made g Ia
watch which was a present 10 him
forty years ago from his father-in-
law.
II has been suggested by some that
Mrs. Chris may be mistaken as to the
day on which she saw Mr.. Knapp
and a companion enter the saloon.
In that event, they are led back to
The theory that Knapp had been fol-
lowed and that his aSsailant, know
ing that a Myers man was on the
way for the saloon mirrors, grabbed
what he could see. the diamond pin,
and fed

Missouri Food Administration Dis
continued.
Columbia, Mo-, January 16, 1919
To all Local Food Administrators:
Final instructions from the
Washington office, based upon
cable from Mr.. Hoover, have desig-
mated the final discontinuance of
all state activities Of the United
States Food Administration in Mis-
souri, as of January 81, 1919.
You will therefore give publicity
to the announcement that on and
after January 81, 1919, the activi-
ties Of the Missouri Division of the
United States Food Administra-
ton will be dis continued. Many
regulations are still in force but all
administrative work connected
with the equations in the future
will be directed from the Washing
ton office.
The rem arkable success Of the
Food Administration is due to the
loyal, patriotic, aggressive and
efficient leadership of local Food
Administrators This continued
and faithful service is the more re.
markable in that it has been entire.
ly voluntary on your part. The
nation recognizes its debt of graft.
tude to you and the suffering peo-
plies of the whole world are your
debtors.
1t is great personal satisfaction
to me to be the agent through
whom this word of appreciation is
submitted. What a magnificent
outcome of this gigantic war if the
same spirit of loyalty, faithful SER
vice and sacrifice shall be immedi-
ately applied to making Missouri

Confidence in the soil means much
for good farming. If you believe your
soil will respond to good tillaCe you
are apt to trust it to that. If you be-
lfeve your soil will pay for extra in

GERMANS AGREE TO
SIGN ALLIES TERMS
JUNkERs ARE ouTvoTEb BY
FRIENDS OF QUICK PEACE IN
HUN PARLIAMENT.
National Assembly by Vote Of 29I
to 1Sa Decides to Accept Peace
Terms, Declaring People Were
Not Responsible for War.

Berlin-Germany will sign the peace
treaty. The national assembly on
June 20, by n vote OF 237 to 1SS, de-
cided to sign. The assembly also vot-
ed confidence In the new government
of Herr Bauer, 236 to 50. .Slxty-eight
members abstplned from voting,
On the question OF signing the treaty
five members of the assembly ab.
stained from voting.
Before the vote of confidence was
taken, Herr Bauer, the new premier.
declared that the government would
sign the treaty, but without acknow-
hedging the responsibility of the Ger
man people for the war and without
accepting the obligations contained In
articles 22T to go in the treaty relat-
ing to the trial of the former emperor
and the extradition of other German
personages
In announcing the decision of the
government to sign the peace terms,
Premier Bauer said before the ma.
tional assembly:
The allied and associated powers
cannot expect the German people to
agree from inner conviction to peace
instrument, whereby, without the pop
ulations being consulted, living mem.
bers are severed from the German
known empire, German sovereignty
permanently violated and unbearable
economic and financial burdens I'm
posed upon the German people."
Terms Germany Accepts.
Here are the high spots of the treaty
of peace which Germany will officially
accept. Germany loses Alsace-Lor-
raine, the Saar basin Cat least for Is
years., a strip of upper Silesla, the
district of Memel. Danzig, most of
Posen and portions of West Prussia
and Pomerania, part of Schleswig (if
"A plebicite so decides), all her colonies
and extra European rights and pos

all her military and naval air forces.
She cannot incorporate German
Austria in her empire.
She must reduce her army within
three months to 100000 and by March
