CUBA FAILS TO GET LOAN
FROM AMERICAN BANKERS
Extension of Moratorium Period
Urged on President.

HAVANA, Nov. 17.-with the ex-
piration of the fifty-day moratorium
period only two weeks away. no defi-
mite action has been taken thus far
toward a solution OF Cuba's financial
problems. The expectation that a
loan of from $50. 900 to 500, 0,00o,-
900 would be arranged between
American bankers and tho Cuban
government as soon as the American
Presidential elections were over has
not been realized and interest here
now centers on the question as to
whether the moratorium period will
be extended, and, If so. for how long
and under what conditions.
Efforts are being made to induce
the President to renew the morato-
ruin decree in such waay as to pre-
init gradual increase in the
amounts depositors may withdraw
from banks.

citement is becoming intense here
as the probability OF Congressional
investigation of hazing at the
United States Naval Academy be-
comes imminent Possible disrup-
ton of the upper classes as the re-
suit of this investigation Is feared
FIVE SEPARATE PROBES.
At the present time investigation
OF hazing conditions Is being made
by Ave separate commissions appoint
ed by Admiral Scales, superintendent
of the Academy.
Investigation by Congress will in
evitably follow continuance OF the
present difficulties over hazing. &C
cording to Congressman Sydney e.
Mudd Of Maryland. chairman OF the
subcommittee Of the House Naval
Affairs Committee.
1t Is a well-known fact that other
members of Congress are in favor OF
such investigation and that. during
the last Congress. when hazing epi-
sodes arose, investigation was seri-
ously considered and Admiral Scales
was called before the House commit
tee to testify regarding conditions at
the Academy.
1t Is felt here that matters have
been brought to q head as the result
Of charges made by Samuel G. Baker,
jr., of Seattle, Wash, who was ex-
PEELED from the Academy for hazing.
Baker stated that IL every one guilty
of hazing were to be discharged 1t
would mean a closing OF the Acad-
emy.
AFRAID TO TALK, IS CLAIM.
''They can find out II I'm telling the
truth about conditions at Annapolis from
any Of the fellows at the Academy that
is, IL the fellows would dare talk. But
they dare not say a word for fear Of
being dropped" declared Baker.
He declared that he was glad to be
out of the academy" which he char
acterized as being worse than a kinder
garden" He said he had no intention
Of making any effort to be re-enstataed.
Secretary Daniels, 1t Is understood.
has given Admiral Scales orders to deal
with students guilty Of hazing without
compassion, and has indicated that minor
offenses, intended merely to cause a
freshman embarrassment, were loked on
as being as serious as physical pun
ishment.
Secretary Daniels intends to follow
the policy pursued some years ago
when serious difficulty arose at the
Academy over hazing. Before that sit
uation was corrected about eighty stu
dents were expelled.
TO BE NO COMPASSION.
"I have told Admiral Scales not to
have the slightest compassion upon

DEATH
MYSTERY SOLVED
Companions on Joy Ride Con.
fess Throwing Them Out
of Car.

CHICAGO. Nov. 17.--Marcus Brum-
berg and Harris Jergenson, two
youths, were to- be
questioned further today In connec-
tion with the death OF Marie Ramey
and Lillian Thompson, actresses. the
finding OF whose bodies in Grant
Park early Sunday adds another to
Chicago's list of amazing murder
mysteries. Both have confessed that
they put the girls out OF an automo.
mile at a lonely spot in Grant Park
and left them there.
DIED OF EXPOSURE.
Whiskey and exposure caused the
death Of the girls rather than vio-
lence. the police believe. but the story
told by Brumberg and Jorgenson
will be checked up for every possible
angle.
Meantime, Lawrence Jorgenson. a
brother of Harris. and a man named
Mccarthy, said to be cook on a
coal boat now en- route to Buffalo,
are being sought as result of
stories told by the two men under
arrest.
Brumberg and JorgeAson told the
police they were Joy riding Saturday
night and enSountered the two ac-
tresses on 9 North Side street. Both
were intoxicated, the men said. and
begged to be taken home. Jorgensop
and Brumberg put them in their
car. they said. but the women In their
intoxicated condition could not give
an understandable address.
REVIVED BY AIR
After driving about for while,
the men said, the two women were
somewhat revived by the night air
and began to shout and sing and
to insist upon leaving the car. Fear
ing that the boisterousness OF the
women would attract attention the
youths drove their car into Grant
Park. they said. and left the women
sitting on the wind-swept grass
along the lake shore.
The phase of the case which the
police are most anxious TO clear up
is the large amount of blood found
near the bodies. Jorgenson and
Brumberg assert that this came from

Marilla Wayne was at work among
her nowers that fine. fair September
morning. One does not look for roses
In septemebr. but Marilla had them,
Droschis, big as saucers, white lilies
dropping thick honey from their golden
tongues. gladioli-like overs, pink asters
In bouquets big enough for q bride,
hasturtlums running about in golden
glee-Marilla had them all. But she
would no more have picked one than
she would have cut on her right hand.
she grew them In order TO be the envy

song on her lips and n smile of inno-

Maiilla in reality was little and brown
and old, a woman who never smiled,
never sang. and who had long since
forgotten what happiness was like.
She was prodding into the earth about
clump OF white lilies when she heard
sound and, raising her head, saw the
gray streak OF kitten bound past her
Now Marilla hated cats and dogs and
