DOUBLE, MURDER IN
HAMMOND QUARREL
Father and Mother of Four Children
Killed in Room Where Thomas Fam
to Was Shot-SamueI Mareno Killed
BY Revolver Bullet-Wife's Head
csvarad ,

,, Chicago. April while their four
children were asleep, Samuel Mareno
and his wife were killed In their home
in Hammond, Ind, at midnight last
night, in the room where Thomas Fan
to was shot to death a week ago.
Mareno was killed by bullet from
a revolver which was found beside the
body, while his wife's head had been
cut off with razor. The children were
not old enough to tell much about the
crime, but the Oldest said she thought
a quarrel preceded the shooting which
awakened her.
The police were uncertain today
whether Mareno killed his wife and
then himself; whether the double
crime was a sequel to the Fanto mur-,
der, or whether a person entirely re-.
moved from suspicion in either case,
committed the last deed or both.

Paris, April An extremely opti-
mistic impression now prevails re-
garding settlement favorable to
France of the questions Of her secur-
ity against future aggression and the
neutral zone of the left bank and of

This is voiced today by the Petit

financial aspects of the situation also
states that it appears France will be
completely indemnified.

there was difference Of opinion
among German generals as to the
practicability failure to maintain
the imperfaH regime In November.
Count Bcliuienbefs, commander OF the
guards regiment maintainR In an ar
ticle on the abdfcation OF Emperor
william. published in the Frefhert, that
there were enough loyal troops to have
marched on AK La Chapelle and
Cologne and put down the reyolution.
The count says that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Groener,
Prussian war minister, would not as
sumo the responsibility for such a
move, however, arguing that things
had gone too far and that only the
abdication Of former Emperor William
could save the situation. The emperor
he says, was emphatic in declaring
he did not desire civil war and that
he would not call upon the army to
engage in such a conflict.
Internal conditions becoming worse,
William at length agreed to Count
Schulenbergs advice to abdicate as
emperor but not as king of Prussia.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg en-
dorsed the count. but in the opinion
of General Groener it was too late. al
tho it might have saved the situation.
In the meantime there came rumcrs
from Berlin Of the imminence of civil
war, and street fighting was actually
begun there. Finally the imperial
chancellor telegraphed that civil war
might break out at any moment IL the
abdication was not announced at once.
Hurried conferences were held by
the emperor, the crown prince and the
leading generals. the article, says. One
of the commanders asserted there was
a feeling upon the part Of the generals
that the entire army could not be de-
pended upon in case of civil war. To
this. Count Schu1enberg says he re-
piled: mo soldier will break his oath
to the colors."
"The oath to the colors and the su-
preme war lord is only an ideap was
the rejoinder of General Groener
At this moment Admiral Won Hintze,
the foreign minister, entered with
menacing message from Berlin and
rendered his resignation. William
then consented to abdicate as emperor
but insisted on retaining his Office as
king OF Prussia and head Of the army.
The imperial chancellor had in the
meantime announced the abdication
without waiting for the emperor's
formal declaration.
Count schulenberg says that VIII
liam's flight to Holland was due to
pressure brought to bear on him by
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
General Groener.

The proponents of the plan met with
strong opposition in two quarters. The

The proponents Of the soviet idea,

sition on the part of the bourgeoise,
on the one hand, and the peasants on
the other hand. The peasants control
the supply of foodstuffs. which they
have declared they would refuse to de-
