DAUGHERTY DOES NOT
EXPECT GENERAL STRIKE

Columbus, Ohio. Oct 22.-Attornev
General Daugherty said here Saturday
night that he did not believe there
would be general railroad strike.
The attorney general arrived i'll
Columbus late Saturday following IA
secret trip into the west in connection
with the threatened strike, and few
hours later left for Washington. He
would not say where he had been or
the nature of his activities in the west.
but he did say that he did not believe
there would be q general railroad
strike.
The attorney general said. however,
that should there be a strike. there
would be no serious interruption In the
opration of trains. He declared that
the government would promptly exer-
else it's authority and would operate
mail. freight and passenger trains.
Mr.. Daugherty would not discuss the
merits of the controversy between the
railway trainmen and the railroads. de-
claring that 'the merits of the contro-
yersy are in the hands of the president
so far as the government is concerned
and the president is well informed and
capable of handling the matter"

NEW YORK POLICE
ARE FACING NEW
MURDER MYSTERY
Part of Body Of Young Woman
Found in Pond in Long
Island City.

New York. Oct. 2-Metropolitan
police Saturday faced new murder
mystery when the upper portion of a
young woman's body was found by a
workman in a pond near Queens boule
ward, Long Island City.
The body had been hacked in two
above the hips and was wrapped in a
package Of white oil cloth. The skull
had been crushed by blow on the
forehead. A linen belt was found knot
ted about the neck. The pool, which is
in an isolated spot, was being drained
to facilitate search for the missing
members.
The woman was apparently about %
years old, had an abundance Of auburn
hair, and, despite having been in the
water six or seven days, preserved the
lines of comeliness.
In several respects the case closely
parallels the famous Guldensuppe mur-
der, which stirred the nation about 25
years ago. The scene Of Saturdays
find is only few hundred yards from
where Guldensuppe's dismembered body
was concealed, also in a package of oil
cloth.
In the Gnldensuppe case the oilcloth
was of a distinctive make, which al
lowed it to be traced through store
to Mrs. Mack and Martin Thorn, who
were convicted of the murder.

CHANCELLOR W|RTH
AND ENTIRE GERMAN
CABINET RESIGNS

Berlin. Oct. 22.-(By The Associ
ated Press. s.l-Chancellor Wirth anG
the cabinet he headed resigned.
The cabinet retired wholly of Its
own volition at the conclusion of q
three hour session in which the chan
cellor and his colleagues gave the en-.
tente decision on upper Silesia final
consideration without voting any rec
concentrations concerning it.
DIR. Wirth was the youngest and
seemingly the most ambitious Of long
line Of post war chancellors. He an
nounced his cabinet and took office
last May with the expressed deter
mination of carrying out the terms
of the London ultimatum.
The ministry's decision to retire fol-
lowed closely upon the visit of Presi-
dent Loebe of the reichstag and other
leaders of the coalition parties to the
chancery.
President Loebe and the coalition
leaders will confer with President
Ebert Sunday on the problem of form
ing a new cabinet.
The parliamentary situation Satur-
day night presents picture of utter
confusion. No prediction can be haz-
arded as to. the eventualities of the
retiring ministers. The majority So
cialists are firm in their attitude
that the upper Siiesian issue did not
warrant the overthrow of DR.. Wirth.
The issue on which the parties which
will form the new cabinet now have
agreed concerns the question as to
whether Germany will avail herself of
the opportunity to enter into negotia-
tions officially with the Poles. leaving
for later adjustment the matter of
yielding to the other conditions of the
entente's decision.
The new cabinet. it is expected, will
be constructed by Thursday. the date
fixed by the entente for the appoint
mcnt Of a commission to represent
Germany in connection with the draft
ing Of the economic convention.
