Into a talking machine, for the rea-
son that under the laws Of the Dis

The law in the District requires
the signature of two witnesses to

of course, could dictate their names

When asked today what he thought
of this method of making a will, Dep

be legal.
There would be no way of Identify

his voice. Mr.. CogSwell declared. and

 Finally Guajardo abandoned the trains and started to march for the mountains of Nuevo Leon Soon he learned that Amaro, leaving the chase of Villa for the time, was on his track and that the risings> around Monterey had been failures. The remnant of his command melted away under attacks of government troops until there remained only one faithful colonel and an orderly.
 Dressed in civilian clothes, General
 Guajardo hid in the home of a rela-
 tive of Monterey.
 Meanwhile Colonel Antonio Cano,
 one of Guajardo's colonels who had
 abandoned him, had been captured
 by federal troops, taken to Monterey and released there. Next day Colonel
 Cano called at the house where Guajardo was hiding to visit the own CT who also was his relative. To. his surprise he found there his late com mander, General Guajardo who asked him not to reveal his whereabouts. Cano, however, revealed Guajardo's S hiding place, an order for his arrest was issued and with several other co1one1s Cano was sent to execute it. Cano again was admitted to see Guajardo and pretended to unfold to him plans for the future. While they were talking the federal colonels en- tered, and arrested Guajardo. He l was taken a prisoner to the state pen l itentiary.
 1 Orders came from Mexico City di- recting that he should be tried by court martial which was done that | night, July IT. With practically no
 defense to offer, he was found guilty, the sentence was approved by General l ofsDivis:on Eugenio Martinez at Mon l terey and early in the morning Gen eral Jesus G'uajardo stepped out of his | quarters in the old barracks at the Plaza de Armas, where he had been tried, and said farewell to a few faith full friends.

London, Aug. 26-Announcenent by Pike Pease, the assistant postmaster general, that the American telephone system is now inferior to that in this country, is disputed by Sir Joseph Duveen. who divides his time equally between this country and the United States. In an interview with the Pail Mall Gazette, Sir Joseph said:

MEXICAN GENERAL EXECUTED AFTER
 COURT MARTIAL
Guajardo, Traitor to Many Causes Captured Through
 Trick.

Monterey, Mexico, Aug. 26-Gen- era1 Jesus Guajardo, who treacher- ously tricked and slew the willy rebel leader, Emi1iano Zapata, himself fell a victim of deception when he was captured by government troops and executed here July Is last. The tale of his latest and last adventure is thus told here:
 Thirteen months ago Guajardo a colonel iii Carranza's army, attacked a detachment of his own factions S troops, killed and wounded several of them and cinvinced Zapata that he had new adherent. Then, as Zapata, greeted him in salute, he had ordered his men to fire on Zapata and the noted rebel chief was blown out of his saddle, dead.
 To renew this act, Carranza made the double dealer a general, and a little over a year later he turned up- on his henefactor and joined the suc- cessfuI revolution of Obregon and de Ia Huerta.
 After many misgivings they ac- cepted him as a general in the new army and gave him the comma nd of d brigade and he started for Torreon on d campaign against Villa. While enroute he stopped his trains, assem- bled his regimental commanders and explained that he had resolved mot to recognize" the de la Huerta regime any longer but to go into the field for the newest revolution and join

MURDERED GIRL
 FOUND IN BUSH
 BY BOY AT PLAY

New York, Aug. 26-The body of a young woman. evidently the victim of a murder, was found yesterday in a patch of woods less than 200 feet from the junction of Grant and An derson avenues, in tbes township of Brentwood, N. J., on the Palisades, almost directly opposite Grants Tomb. A boy at play made the discovery.
 The woman was about 19. The police believe she was murdered else where and her body had been in the place where it was found.
 Whether she had been shot or struck over the head only an autopsy will determine, owing to the length of time the body had been in the woods. This was thought to be about 12 days.
 Clutched in the right hand of the girl was a piece of dark cloth, ap- parently torn from dark blue serge coat, probably worn by the man who attacked her. Her blue hat rested across her face and the body lay up- stretched in the form of a cross. It was dressed in unusually expensive attire, which included a black satin dress, brown fur neckpiece of cost ly design, long black silk stockings and black patent leather pumps, size 3, bearing the name of Gimbel Bros, New York.
 Police of the Cliffside station in ex- amining the ground nearby found nu- merous footprints. The branches of the shrubbery had been broken. Ow- ing to the heavy rains, however, the footmarks were not clearly defined, nor could they be measured.
 The spot where the body was found is in a belt of trees at the edge of an unoccupied tract lying between Pal- sade, Grant and Iawton avenues. The quantity of underbrEsh near the trees, which completely hid the body from view, is said to account for it's non discovery sooner.
 Requests were sent to neighboring towns and cities asking that lists of missing girls be furnished, with their descriptions, and the police of New York were notified and search here begun.
 A boy in the neighborhood, Alfred De Siassu, whose father is a contrac- tor with home in Grant avenue, ran into the thicket at the noon hour in quest of his ball. He stumbled over the body and gave the alarm.
 The Gimbel mark on the pumps, the bit of dark cloth and a blood-statned corset were the only apparent clues last night. The victim was about five feet five inches tall and weighed approximately 130 pounds.
 Police of the Missing Persons Bu- reau here, after going over the rec ords last night, announced that no girl answering the description of the young woman had been reported missing. Detective Walter Denny, of the New York department, will go to Grantwood for a minute inspection of the body.
 Brentwood. N. J., Aug. 2e - The body of a young woman found slain in the Brentwood woods on the Pali- sades yesterday. today was identified as that of Mrs. Blanche Schultz, East 18th street, Manha ttan. The identi- fcation was made by her husband, Frank Schultz, at a Hackensa ok morgue.

ODESSA: PARIS OF THE
UKRAINE

Before the war no city of the Near
East save Bucharest so nearly resem-
bled Paris and Vienna in it's hectic
night life as did Odessa, conspicuous
in the fighting of Ukrainians, Poles
and Bolsheyiki.
Odessa had hundreds of sidewalk
cafes, its municipal opera and its pal
aces of chance. 1t had more than half
a million population, yet it is one of
the newest cities in Europe. Moscow's s
history extends over Il thousand
years, that Of Odessa only a little be-
yond century.
There is a unique analogy between
Odessa and the capital city of the
United States. Both We're started at
about the same time-during the last
decade of the eighteenth century-and
both were begun because of the far
seeing wisdom of the chief executives
of the two nations.
Perhaps the oldest coincidence is
the fact that they both were planned
by foreign civil engineers of the same
nation. While Major L Enfant was de
vising the city of magnificent dis
tances" to be erected on the banks OF
the Potomac, Voland, also a French
man, laid out Odessa on the shore OF
the Black sea. While President Wash
ington was dreaming into being the
| beautiful city which bears his name
Czarina Catherine the Great was spon
soring the upbuilding of a municipal
stepping stone toward the chief object
of the Russian Bears stealthy tread
! Constantinople.
Like Washington, Odessa was lait
out in the midst of virtual wilder
ness and swamp. An isolated Turkish
fort, Khaji-Bey, stood on the site Of
the present city at the time, 1889
when it passed to Russia. IN early
years of the Christian era Greek colo
nists had taken advantage of the bay
of Odessa.
Until five years ago the railway dis
tance between Odessa and Moscow was
more than a thousand miles, but a new
line, via Bakhmatch, reduced that dis
tance to S14 miles. The steamship
distance between Odessa and Constan
tinople is $50 miles.
| From its history it is evident why
Odessa was far from a typical Rus
sian city. Mark Twain found the onl,
Russian things about it to be the shap,
of the droshkis and the dress of th,
drivers. He might have mentioned tn,
gilded domes of a few churches. Their;
the Russian likeness ends.
A few miles to the north and also t,
the southwest are three 'limans." O
lagoons, famous for mud baths believed
to benefit persons with rheumatism
gout and skin diseases. The most pop
ular of these is 20 miles long, a mil
wide, 10 feet deep and lies 16 fee
below the level of the Black sea.

lagoon. There is an outer lagoon, sep
arated by a breakwater three miles
long. In all this construction huge ba-
salt blocks were used. Apparently
they were untouched by iron tools.
Recent study has confirmed the belief
that these mighty megalithic monu-
ments antedate the present native pop
ulation- of the CaroIines.
Origin of the unique stone coinage
is not known. Shell money seems TO
have supplanted the unwieldy stone
disks for small change long before
the white man arrived. The stone
money" is made from limestone or
calcite. 1t probably was employed for
primitive banking rather than for gen
eras circulation. Its security from
theft was assured by its weight. Spec
linens are found piled about the homes
of native chieftains.
Including reefs not inhabited, the
Caroline islands number more than
800. OF the total land area of $50
square miles 307 square miles is COM
