EXCHANGE
ON IN FULL SWING

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PiERLIN. July 13.-Exchange of
prisoners between Germany and Rus
sia is on in full swing. Conclusion of
an agreement between the German
and soviet governments made this pos
sible, but now as a result of the agree
ment the soviety representative here.
wigdor Kopp. contends that Germany
has recognized sovietism as the de fac
to government. He points to the text
of the treaty made between tho Ger
man government" and the Russian
soviet government" as proof of his
claim.
The hope of the Soviets that the
prisoner agreement would quickly lead
to wider agreement, namely a busi-
ness treaty has not been fulfilled. and
the indications are that it will not be
iconsummated for some time to come
In fact. the foreign office let it be
known that it doubts Russia's claims
as to ability to deliver goods. while in
a recent speech in the Bavarian parlia-
ment Secretary Won Mueller of Bava-
ria declared that the Russian claims
were exaggerated and her transporta-
tion situate such that she could not
be trade factor.
Meantime. Kopp says on in Berlin.
In fact he operates quite openly as the
EGerman government considers him an
accredited agent and he now has Of
fices in Inter den Linden.
| MANY persons forsee the possibility
THAT ultimately Germany--not Eng
land or any other power-will be the
one to exploit Russia. Japan is con-
stantly making friendly statements
about Germany, and some observers
consider these as the forerunner of
an eventual agreement between the
Nipponese and the Teutons wherein
IGermany will exploit Russia and ia
pan will exploit China.
For the present. however. there re-
mains only a possibility. Germany is
in no position to undertake any ex-
tensive business in Russia now. But
Germany has always had strong repre-
sentation in Russia and her business
men know Russia. her language, GUS
toms and people.

ST0lVACHs
Grain Alcohol.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-SufIicient grain
alcohol was found in the stomachs OF
Marie Rhoades and Lillian Thomp-
son, actresses found dead in Grant
park here, to have caused their deaths
DR.. w. D. McNally, coroners physl-
clan announced today. s.
Traces of no other poison have been
found, the physicians stated, although
he said the autopsy was still incom-
plete.
Immediately after the physician an
nounced the results Of his examination,
police renewed their efforts to trace
the movements of the two women
after they left their cheap Theatrical
hotel, where they were living with two
men, until they met their deaths.
Authorities believed the girls may
have been kidnapped while returning
to their rooms after having couple
of drinks of fern ented grape juice al
nearby wine merchants shop. Find
ing of Miss Rhoades' hat in the street
near the hotel was the main evidence
on which the kidnapping theory was
, based.
That the women were given grain
alcohol by their captors-
forced to drink the poison-was the
belief of the authorities. When they
were in a stupor from the effects Of
! the drink, according to this theory,
| they were taken in an automobile to
Grant park, where they were thrown
from the machine.

Two Girls Found Dead, Probably Kidnapped,
Then Poisoned or Drugged and Thrown
From Auto.
Grain ALCOHOL IN
Police Running Down Evidence in Case Of
Two Actresses Who Were Found Dead
in Park

fUnited Press Leased Wire Service.1
CHICAGO, Nov. 16-That Mary
Rhodes and Lillian Thompson, young
actresses found dead in Grant park,
here, were Kidnapped drugged or
poisoned and then taken to the lake
front and thrown from an automobile
was the theory police used today in
/ investigating their mysterious death.
Finding of hat short distance
from the apartment building where
the actresses lived with James Meek
and Robert Mccarthy, stage electri-
clans, gave the police the kidnapping
theory. The hat was found by a man
who said the red tail light of an au-
tomobile was just visible as he picked
IL. ap. He took the hat home and
kept 1t secret, he said, because he
feared 1t might involve him in trou-
BILE with the police. y
The hat belonged to Miss Rhodes,
and police believed the two girls were
either enticed or dragged into the au-
.tomobile while they were returning to
their apartment with food they had
bought for midnight lunch.
Between the time they were taken
away in the automobile and the time
their bodies were found on the lake
front, a distance of more than mile
from any street car line, police be-
lieve they were given or forced to take
liquor, which contained wood alcohol.
or to have been given drug.
Police today were still searching for
the man who gave them the myster-
ious telephone tip which led to the
finding of the bodies.
The call was traced to a pay tele-
phone booth in the fashionable STRAIT
ford hotel.
One theory advanced is that the
'.tipster'' may have been guest at
the Stratford and may have witnessed
the arrival of the young women, on the
spot where their bodies were found.
Coroner Peter Hoffman continued
today in the belief that if the young
women died from other than natural
causes that it was from poison.
Hoffman also contends that there
was third person wounded He ex-
pected to drag the lake again today.
Hoffman's belief that a third person
was wounded. was founded on the
finding of four pools of blood on the
ground near the girls bodies. Neither
of the young women, he said, could
have lost the amount of blood. Hof-
mans examination showed the actres-
ses died of something taken inter-
nally."
The location of the spot where MISS
Rhodes hat was found favors the kid
mapping theory. 1t is lonely place
and the girls could have been seized
and carried away without attracting
attention.
All but two of the five men detained
yesterday were released to-day.
Police arrested Meek and Mccarthy
and booked them on statutory charg'
es. They admitted they had oeen
living with the women.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 1G.-Although
20 further arrests had been made in
the robbery of Burlington mail car
at Council Bluffs Saturday night, fed
eral authorities say they expect fur
ther developments hourly.
c. Fl. Glenn, postal inspector for
this district, said officers were handi-
capped in the search for the robbers
by wrong information given them by
Merle Phillips, the 20-year-old boy
who yesterday confessed his part In
the robbery Glenn said Phillips had
given fictitious names and that Off
GERS had ran to earth several of his
tales and found them untrue.
That the loot will amount to much
more than 10000, as announced by
Chief Clerk c. H. Woods, was the be,
lief expressed on all sides here to-
day.
Unofficial rumors indicated one OF
the pouches contained bonds from a
Pacific coast bank valued at several
hundred thousand dollars.
Officers refused to discuss these
rumors and insisted only 100000 was
taken.
The fact that every available fed
eral officer in this vicinity, together
with the police of the two cities, are
working on the case gives color tC
the supposition that the robbery was
larger than officially reported. Oma
ha police yesterday rounded up over
$50 warrants and questioned them
They were all released later and toic
