parts of the woman's body is expected
to be received tomorrow or Wednes-
day, following the autopsy which was

Drs. B. H. Stone and @. F. Whitney

The woman's husband was again in

he having been subjected to close
questioning for several hours earlier

the second questioning other than an
men who Mrs. Broadwell was said to
be acquainted with. No arrests have
been made and it is not considered
probable that any will be made for a

MACHINE GUNNERS
DISPERSE CROWDS.
Lawrence Police Do Not Use Weapon,
But Its Moral Effect is
just AS Good.

Lawrence, Mass, May 5.-A ma
chine gun crew was added to the po-
lice force today and assisted in dis
persing crowds OF textile strike sym
pathizers, although the gun was moi
actually brought into use. Reports
that a big demonstration had been ar
ranged to signalize the opening Of the
14th week of the strike had led the
police to take extra precautions to
prevent another outbreak of violence.
It proved to be one of the most
peaceful Monday mornings since the
strike began. The only call for help
came from the corner of White and
Oaks streets in the tenement district
where Il crowd was annoying mill
operatives on their way to work. The
machine gun squad went along with
the police details sent there but the
crowd was dispersed with little diff

All the men of the gun squad are
former soldiers. They were in police
uniform and commanded by Sergeant
Joseph Casey of the First Regiment
who was decorated for bravery in
France. 1t is announced that llere-
after during the strike all police duty
will be perform ed by Lawrence officers
and the place of officers hired from
other cities will be taken by former

AMERICAN HONOR TO

Herald, New Britain, Conn:

frankness If I did not tell you
that the Treasury Department
IS apprehensive concerning the
Victory Liberty Loan. In view
Of this serious situation, as
Secretary of the Treasury and
as a fellOW-neWspaper publish

press upon your readers the
urgency Of subscribing to this
Loan by publishing in your edi-
ton of Monday, the following
messages:
THE Victory Liberty Loan
campaign is tWo-thirds over,
but subscriptions have been re-
ported for little more than one
third of the Loan.
''Is it conceivable that the
American people, who with
heart and soul waged the fight
for freedom, will permit this
Loan Of victory and thanksgiv-
ing to fail?
Our sons gave of their
health, Of their strength and of
their lives that freedom might
not perish. There are one and
a half million American boys
in France and Germany. Now
that the war is ended it would
be as reasonable for them to
dishonor the nation by desert
ing the flag as for the nation to
dishonor itself by deserting
them. Is it large thing that
we are now asked to lend our
money to pay the cost of vic
tory? Is American money less
willing than American man
hood?

who have bought Liberty
Bonds buy Victory Notes, and
success is sure.

ment has decided to sign the treaty
of peace which was discussed at
crown council held here last night,
it is announced.
The council met at the palace al

tary Glass that Oregon had oversub-
