| term in the reformatory at Pom
tiac. He was convicted of having
stolen money and goods to the
value of $127.25 from Jack Clap
per of this city on Dec. 49, 1916.

Chester state hospital for the GRIM
/ inal insane.

lake GIVES
up BODY OF
DEKAY Girl
Identified by Clothing of
Corpse Washed Ashore
on Chicago Beach.
fBy United Press

Chicago, April 5.-Jeanne Dekay,
missing heiress, has been found.
The body of a young woman, TAX
en- from Lake Michigan today by
police, was identified as that of the
missing heiress by Mrs. Gertrude
Howe Britton, Hull House social
worker.
According to police, the young
woman fits the description of Miss
Dekay. The body is that of young
| woman of 26 years. Miss Dekay,
police said, had pock- marks SINH
lar to those on the body.
Gold filings in the lower teeth,
said to be similar to the filings in
the teeth of Miss Dekay, were
| found
! Black oxford shoes, a corset. both
labelled Made in Switzerland, -
were worn by the girl, police found.
Missing Several Months.
Miss DeKay, a ward of Jane
Adams of Hull House. disappeared
several months ago. Her father is
wealthy American now living in
Switzerland, and the Swiss mark
ings on her clothing caused the be-
lief of police that she was the miss
/ ing heiress.
The disappearance of the young
heiress, the cause of which is yet a
mystery to her friends and police
was the occasion of numerous false
reports being started that she was
found.
| Within the last two weeks, the
body of young woman was taken
from the lake here and it was be-
lieved at first she was Jeanne.
/ In various parts of the country
| young women were credited with
claiming that they were the miss
ing heiress, only to have their
claims disproved.
Death a Mystery.
Whether Miss Dekay was drown
ed or murdered otherwise has not
been definitely determined by po-
lice. They said her body will have
: to be examined to determine the
cause of her death.
The body was found by Patrick
Casey, policeman. Walking along
| the lake shore. Casey saw piece
of floating cloth. On examination
he found it covered body.
| With the assistance of others,
Casey rowed out into the lake and
pulled the body from the water.
/ 1t had been in the lake for several
months, police said.
The body was somewhat decom-
posed A cream-colored shirtwaist
which was said to be similar to
one worn by Miss DeKay, was worn
| by the dead woman.
Police Theories Vary.
| Police said that Miss Dekay
| might have fallen into the water,
drowned and been carried out by
the undertow. When freezing set
! in, they said, the body was prob
ably imprisoned in the ice and fin
ally washed ashore by the storm
Sunday.

Easter Blizzard Para1yzes Midwest
DEMO OCRATS IN
CONGRESS KEEN
FOR NEW FIGHT
Claim All Arguments
Against Peace By
Mere Resolution.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, April 5.-Confer-
ences between Republican leaders
in both the senate and house con-
firm the impressions gained earlier
in the week that a program has
been outlined with respect to the
joint resolution declaring peace
which will keep congress and the
executive in perpetual warfare for
the next few months without get
ting either side anywhere.
Just as President Wilson struck
a snag by ignoring the senate
whose advice and consent is neces-
sary in making treaties, so are the
Republicans in congress likely to
run up against insuperable OBJ
stacles in their efforts to negotiate
an agreement with Germany in vio-
lation of the constitutional prero-
gative which vests the power of ne
gotiation in the presidency. But
not all the Republicans are going to
be led into the acceptance Of the
makeshift proposal of peace by
joint resolution. Influential Repub-
licans Of both the senate and the
house are preparing to vote against
the measure.
Some Republicans Opposed.
1t begins to look as if many of
the Republicans in the house who
come from states which favor the
peace treaty with the Lodge reser-
vations will decline to vote for a
resolution whose validity is, open
to serious question and which, as
its opponents are prepared to dem
onstrate, may involve the United
States in further complications
/ with Germany.
Under the language Of the joint
resolution Germany would obtain
all the rights of the treaty of Yer
sailles. This means incidentally all
the Fights which the covenant of
the League OF Nations granaS-z4to
member states. Germany, it is
argued, would be in a position even
before she was admitted to the
league, to block the solution of any
questions affecting the rights Of
American citizens to damages sus-
tained during the war if the joint
resolution becomes the law of the
United States.
But while the resolution will be
attacked in the house by Republi-
cans as we'll as Democrats. indica-
tions are that it will pass. The SEN
ate leaders have been in constant
conference lately with house lead
ers and assured themselves of that
fact. Yet the path of the resolu-
tion in the senate is far from rosy.
While the Democrats may have
split on the question Of reserva-
