was in conflict with the provision Of
the treaty Of 1916 between the United
States and Great Britain.
This treaty. along with similar
treaties with a score Of other count
tries. must be abroEated under the
merchant marine law, which authorizes
and directs the President, within ninety
days after the shipping law becomeb
effective. to give notice Ito the several

quently no discriminatory duty can BE-

Some diplomats hold that the Sur

RAGGED STRANGER
INQUEST IS HELD
Death Scene Of Lieut.. Wan
derer's Wife and Unknown
to Be Re-enacted
DOUBLE SHOOTING MYSTERY
BY the Associated Press

Chicago, July 9.--A>coroner' inquest
was held today in an effort to identify
the body of ''The Ragged Stranger,
who. according to the story told by
Lieutenant Carl Wanderer. was shot by
him when the Unknown" shot Mrs.
Wanderer.
Careful examination Of his body in
dicates, police say, that he was not an
ordinary tramp.
The withdrawal of $500 from bank
only two days previous to the shooting
drew a new angle to the case. Wan
derer first denied and later admitted
knowledge of his wife's withdrawal of
funds. He finally said that she planned
to put the money in bank nearer to
their home.
Coroner Peter Hoffman took personal
charge of the inquest today. The coro-
ner planned to re enact the entire. scene
of the shooting. with Wanderer repre-
senting his part.
=. Wanderers statement that both guns
used in the shooting were his property
may establish, police say, that the
Ragged Stranger" was unarmed.
Regular Church Attendant
Police Investigation of the past life
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Wanderer has failed
to develop anything that would throw
light on the mystery. Wanderer did
not use tobacco or strong drink. was a
regular church attendant and had
but one sweetheart. the girl he married,
according to information gathered by
the police. ~ ...
Mrs. Wanderer did not care for dane
ing or lighter amusements and had been
a member of church choir for eight
years, withdrawing when Wanderer
went to France so that other boys could
not ask permission to accompany her
home from evening services.
Police expressed bewilderment over
the twin mysteries of the $500 Mrs.
Wanderer withdrew from the bank on
the afternoon Of the day she was slain
and the pistol Wanderer borrowed from
n cousin on that same day. It was
this weapon which was supposed to have
been used by the stranger to kill Mrs.
Wanderer, as it was found by the mans S
body. ,-
Explanations Are Conflict
When the pistol was finally traced to
Wanderer he first said he had "traded
with the man after the shooting because
the strangers pistol was the best. and
later said the man had wrested It from
him before the shooting began"
The police also said they could not
understand how, with ten shots fired G.
range of less than three feet. Wan
derer escaped unscathed. while both
his wife and the other man were killed
''There is strong possibility that
Wanderer did all the shooting" Chief
of Police Garrity said. Sergeant Nor
ton is working on that theory and a
number of others"

remain loyal to Wanderer and insist
that his story be accepte...
