But No Clues Obtained.
Nv Associated Press To Every Evening

Camden, N. j., Oct. 19.-Although
several new theories have been advanced
in the mystery surrounding the dis-
appearances and death Of David y. Paul,
the Camden bank messenger, no clues
have been discovered TO sustain them,
according TO the authorities.
The latest theory Is that Paul WAS lured
to his fate by woman. THIS theory, the
police claim, was partly substantiated by
the finding in the messengers clothes Of
letter evidently written by woman who
apparently was infatuated with him.
The letter was unsigned Several women
are under surveillance.
Paul. according to the authorities, was
convicted while employed as a letter
tarrier about twenty years ago, of stealing
from the mails Captain of Detectives,
Sehrceler, of Camden, declared that q
woman was the cause Of bis dishonesty at
that time.
Prosecutor Wolverton stated that Paul
carried $4,000 in cash and $50. 900 in
checks when he disappeared and that all
checks had been found in his clothing.
None of the money was found 1t vas at
first reported he had only $4,000 10
money and sl2, 500 in checks.

London. Oct. 10 The cessation Of
coal mining throughout the country
seems complete, for, although the miners
IN some districts appear 70 have entered
the strike in half-hearted manner, there
is no sign yet Of any break IN the ranks OF
the men and consequently the dlslocatlon
OF the countrys Industries Is becoming
widespread
Nor Is there indication of any media
ton growing out Of yesterdays various
conferences, all parties apparently await
ing the reassembhng Of parliament today,
when it is expected the discussion OF the
strike will displace the Irish home rule
bin. which was the first scheduled bust
ness before the House Of Commons.
There was an unconhTIned report last
night that the government intends To
offer the miners compromise OF one
shilling per shift advance, provided they
accept submission Of the whole dispute TO
an independent tribunal.
The strike will hit the ron, steel and
cotton industries seriously. The great
blast furnaces in the Middlesborough dls-
trict are already beginning 10 damp down
thousands Of furnace men and steel work
ers are IDLE This Teesslde district pro
vides a third Of the whole British output
of Dig IRON and it is feared, should the
strike be prolonged, that some Z5,Ut
men will be without work.
/ Liverpool and Manchester announce
/ the impending suspension OF the tram
/ way services and among the minor effects
! Of the strike is the countermanding oi
