NO POISON IN BRAIN
OF TRUNK VICTIM
Solution OF Girls Death Made
More Difficult by Autopsy
Finding.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-Dr. Benjs-
min Schwartz. deputy county medical
examiner. announced yesterday that
the autopsy on the brain OF the young
woman whose body was recently dis
covered In trunk in an uptown ware
house had been completed and that
no traces OF poison had been discoV-
cred.
As no trace has been found Of the
vital organs, which the slayer remoV-
ed from the body, the officials are un
able TO establish the manner in which
the girl met her death. They consider
that the suspicious circumstances un-
der which the body was disposed OF
warrant the murder theory, but they
admit that n the man now being
sought for this crime were captured
they would experience great difficulty
in proving this.
A report yesterday that .. j. Fer
nandez, alias Eugene lie Roy the
man sought as the perpetrator OF the
crime, had been working in a Turkish
bath establishment here was regarded

SMUGG[INGO Of JAPS
INTO i. S. TRACED
Underground System Used BY
Thousands Bribes Guards,
Says Congressman.

TACOMA. Wash, Aug. 3.--Definite
location of the underground system
on the Pacific Coast by which chou
sands of japanese are smuggled into
the United States yearly" was an
rounced here yesterday by Congress
man Albert Johnson. chairman of the
House subcommittee on immigration
and naturalization, which reassembles
here today to investigate japanese
activities in the Northwest.
Until we came to the Northwest
we had only an indefinite idea OF the
operations by which Japanese are
being brought surreptitiously into the
United States. said Mr.. Johnson.
Now we have the key, so to speak.
We have found that the Japanese un-
derground system begins at Yoko-
hama From there il leads to Homo
lulu and extends across the Pacific
to Guaymas, on the Gulf of California.
-"Here either by water or across the
border. the Japanese invaders are
smuggled into the United States. A
perfect system OF escorts has been
established. In Honolulu and at Quay
mas posts have been established
which take care of the details of
smuggling. Mexican guards arS
known to have been bribed with $40
at the United States-Mexican border.
The same careful system of escort
has been established at Yokohama
and Honolulu.
"Once the Japanese is smuggled in
to California he is taken in tow by
some member of the japanese AS
sociation. branches OF which arc in
Oregon and Washington. He is guided
to the bank and his credit established
by a substantial deposit.
Then he goes out into the vine-
Yards or into the agricultural dis
tricts and hides for five years. At
the expiration Of this time he can
come out of scclusion. II he is ques-
toned by the Government authorities
as to his residence here he can quick
" establish this by taking the au-
thorities to the bank where five years

Attorney General Allen urged on
Attorney Fowler the necessity for
Ponzi to confer with him, and asked
| that he be notified to that effect at
once. 1t was stated that Assistant
Attorney General Hurwitz had gone
to New York to investigate statements
made by Ponzi to District Attorney
Pelletier.
In this statement Ponzi said that
he operated through an Italian bank
on Broadway, but failed to give any
such information to Attorney General
Allen last week.
DENIES CHARGES.
AS his employees rapidly met the de-
mands of the alarmed note holders
Ponzi made a categorical denial Of
McMaster's charges. which started the
new run by claiming the financier to
be insolvent.
Ponzi answered McMasters' charges
in detail. He said:
II have here a statement from one

not resigned. You may rest assured
he will not work for me any more"
Asked if he intended to take any
legal action against McMasters, Ponzi
replied:
Hes not worth anything. He never
worked for me, anyway, directly. He
worked for Judge Leveroni, under me,
to handle publicity for bank l pro-
posed to start.
II will give this message to the

added:

Believe Archbishop Could Do
More Harm in U S. Than
in Ireland.

ONDON, Aug. 3.-Moderate
opinion in Ireland, says Dublin dis
patch to the London Times, is seri-
ously questioning the wisdom of the
government decision to exclude Arch
bishop Mannix of Australia from Ire
land.
Many arguments are used against
1t. In the first place, il is pointed
out that the Sim Fein need no en-
couragement from anybody and that
Archbishop Mannix probably could do
more harm in the United States than
il given the freest hand to preach an
anti-British crusade in Ireland
Secondly, says the Times dispatch,
there are some who think the speech
es of the archbishop may be due to
his ignorance of the state of affairs in
Ireland, and that close contact might
have SOLDERING effect on him.
Finally, according to the Times
correspondent, the governments de-
cision is considered likely to place
the heads Of the Catholic Church in
Dublin in a false position. 1t is be-
lieved probable that church influence
would support any wise and generous
scheme for an Irish settlement within
the empire. but in some quarters 1t il
declared that the church must be
greatly embarrassed by restrictions
on Archbishop ManniX's movements.
WOULD BE BLOW TO PEACE
EFFORTS.
Leading Catholic laymen arc re-
ported by the Times corresp spondent to
be of the opinion that if the Govern
ment insists on making a martyr of
the Australian archbishop, the bishops
will virtually be compelled to cham
pion his cause, and their genuine de-
sire for peace may be rendered un-
fruitful by consequent Developments.
On the other hand. they say, if the
archbishop is permitted to come to
Ireland like any other Homecoming 9
ecclesiastic, the church will have an
opportunity to acquaint him quietly
with its difficulties apd probably will
be able to influence his course of
action.
At any rate, says the correspondent,
it is generally considered certain in
Dublin that the expenses of the arch
bishops martyrdom would be paid not
by himself but by the government and
the Irish people.
