Poison Mystery
Found lin Chicago
Out of Graves of Three Il
Being Gathered Chain of
Evidence That May Show
Triple Murder.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Out OF the
graves OF three thee is being gath
cred the links OF a chain of evi-
dence that may soon lead to an ar
rest and charge OF triple murder.
The same evidence may solve the
mystery of love quadrangle in
which the three who have since died
are believed by the neighbors to have
been involved.
An investigation by Coroner Hoff-
| man into the deaths of Fred Kolze,
his wife, Eta Kolze, and John Dem
mcr has revealed that Kolze and
his wife were victims of poison,
while the analysis in the case OF
Demmer has not been completed.
If poison is found in his body
Also the coroner will oder an ar
rest Immediately, he said today.
Kolze Last to Die.
kolzc was the last of the trio to
die. The things the neighbors said
about his death two weeks ago
caused the coroner to investigate.
Poison was found.
Then the neighbors said, II told
you So" and added to the gossip
The coroner thereupon ordered
the grave of Mrs. Kolze, who had
been dead eight years, opened. More
poison.
Then the neighbors began talking
about the death of John Demmer,
who was supposed to have died
from drinking too much ice water
tvo years ago.
The coroner ordered his grave
Fopened and the body is now being
analyzed.
Kolze Neglected Wife.
Before Mrs. Kolze died, Demmer
and his wife took rooms at her
house. kolze, so the neighbors
say. began paying great deal of
attention to the pretty Mrs. DEM
mer. This caused strenuous objec-
ton by his wife and Mr.. Demmer
After the death of Mrs. Kolze the
neighbors began to speculate as TO
whether the Demmers would sepa-
rate, but they didn't.
Demmer, however, began to grow
weak and complain to his friends
that he didn't know what was the
matter with him. Then he died.
After his death Mrs. Demmer be-
came housckeeper for Kolze.
Wife is Suspected.
Since the latter's death Mrs.
Demmer has been questioned and
told the coroner that Kolze had re-
Gently been infatuated with another
woman.
Il believe all three were poison
ed," said the coroner today. We
have proof of poison in two cases.
1t is probable that the poison was
given in small quantities in food and
water. It could hardly be detected
If administered in that way. If
poison is found i'll John Demmer's
body I will order his wife's arrest"
Kolze was the grandson of a
pioneer who founded the town of
Kolze, Ill. He left will but it has
not been announced what he did
with the $4,000 he is known to
h.ve had.

u. s. MAY AID IDLE
WITH BOND ISSUE
Fund for Loans for Municipal
Works in Years of Depres-
sion Proposed
EMERGENCY RELIEF BEGINS
By the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 3.-Advisability Of
Federal bond issue to create n fund
for making loans to aid municipal pub
lie works in years Of depression when
jobs are scarce was under consideration
today by subcommittee Of the Ma
tional Conference on Unemployment.
Such a proposal has been suggested
to the conference as part of plan for
permanent. safeguards against bad
years for the nations workers. No es-
innate of how many millions of dol
lars would be required Tor such a fund
has been made rs yet. The plan con.
stitutes one of the recommendations OF
the Conference Advisory Committee.
Loans to municipalities would be
made by the Federal Government under
the plan only upon proof of national
unemployment and industrial depres-
sion, as shown by industrial and an
employment statistics and upon proof
of the soundness and utility of specific
public works proposed. The interest
rate for loans to municipalities would
be not less than that paid by the Fed
eral Government.
Steps have been taken by city Off
cials of Boston and Cleveland to put
gram adopted last week by the confer
ence. Secretary Hoover announced to-
day, adding that he had been informed
unofficially that Portland, Ore. and
Milwaukee were working along the same
lines.
"1he next step in the emergency
measures for the unemployed" Mr..
Hoover said, "is definite organization
by the Mayors in the municipalities
where this has not yet been done def
Ditely and Systematically. Tho employ
crs and business men, the relief asso-
Citations, the State and Federal agen-
cies, cannot surround the problem sys-
tcmatically until the Mayors have es-
tablished strong emergency organiza-
tions with the municipalities behind it.
The conference is anxious to know what
steps are taken in The various cities
and to have the views of officials for
further comprehensive plans"
/ Mr.. Hoover made public kilograms
from Mayors Fitzgerald, of Cleveland.
and Peters, of Boston, announcing the
formation Of emergency unemployment
committees. The problem of unemploy-
ent probably will be presented to the
American Bankers Association at their
convention this week in Los Angeles.
Henry n. Robinson, of Los Angeles,
chairman of the Organization Commit
tee of the conference, has left to attend
the convention, and it is expected he
will lay before the convention the prob
lens and plans now under discussion by
the conference.

NEW JERSEY PARTIES HOLD
CONVENTIONS TOMORROW
Prohibition Enforcement One of Big
Issues Confronting Delegates

Trenton, Oct. 3.-Preparations are
on foot today in both the Democratic
and Republican State camps for the
conventions here tomorrow of the re-
spective parties, at which each will
adopt a platform on which their can
didates will seek election.
Not the least among these issues, and
in fact, considered by many Of the
leaders on both sides. is State prOhibi-
tiOn enforcement. It IS expected that
there will be struggle in the Repub-
liCan Convention as to whether the pres
ent VanNcss State enforcement act
shall be indorscd as it stands or mOdl-
fed as to permit trials of violators by
juries as provided In the NOlstead act.
An attempt also Is looked for in the
convention to modify the search and
seizure proviSionss of the NauNcss act
and to tone down some of the other
alleged drastic provisions Of the law.
The New Jersey Anti Saloon League, It
is known, will use all its influence to
retain the present act in full force and
effect and will seek its iudOrscmont at
the convention. 1t is generally believed
that the Democratic party will attack
the act on the ground that it Is un-
constitutional and unpopular.
1t is expected that both conventions
will denOunCe the Ku Klux KIar. md
probably will refer, in their platforms,
TO the Irish situation with sympathetic
expressions favorable to home rule or
independence. Other planks in the plat =
forms, it IS expected will deal with
housing, tax reduction, Unemployment
Sunday amusements, modification or in :
dorsement of the boxing laws.

apparently the time has come" he

ize the political end Of business along
economic business lines. 1t would seem

politics to keep politics out of bust

The breakdown of the Nations COM
nercial and Industrial superstructure
was due to the decline in farm products
to levels that destroyed the producers
purchasing power, B. f. Clement, of
Waco, Tex, president of the assoca
ton, said in his address.
Mr.. Clement assailed agitators who,
he said, endeavored to turn producers
against middlemen. and said ito com

dlvidual initiative, place them at the
mercy of insinCcre leaders and bring
wreck and ruin upon America"
