HOLD TRUNK MURDER.
 MYSTERY SUSPECT IN. NORTHERN MICHIGAN
IRepubllcan A. p. Leased WIrel

CHEBOYGAN, Mich. Dec. 21.-A man said to closely resemble Eugene Leroy, wanted by Detroit police in connection with the trunk murder mystery that was revealed by the finding of a trunk in New York, in July, 1920, containing a woman's body, was detained by polite here to- night for investigation.
 The man gave his name as Free man Haywood. He denied any con- nection with the Leroy murder. ac cording to Everett Dumaw, chief ot police, and offered an alibi. E failed, however, Dumaw said, to prove that his whereabouts at the time the woman is presumed to have been killed would preclude any con nection with the case.
 Haywood had been in Cheboygan several weeks. His resemblance to Leroy led officers to question him. He is said to have told them he was in Texas Mexico and Hawaii during 1920: that he had been married, but divorced
 After his arrest, diary was found that is said by Chief Dumaw to con- tradict these statements and to check with some of Lerory's movements. The diary was kept in the name of J. R. Woods, one of the aliases used 1 by Leroy and indicated much of his l time during 1920 was spent In New 1 York. Chief Dumaw said Haywood would be held for the Detroit police. | Search for Leroy began soon as i the finding of the body in the trunk | in a New York express warehouse, where it had remained unclaimed for several weeks, after being shipped | from Detroit. The body, along with l articles of clothing found in the | trunk, was returned to Detroit and 1 identified by several persons in a rooming house district, as that of a | woman who occupied a furnished 1 apartment with Leroy.
 | The woman disappeared, Leroy ex- plaining she had left the city, A few days later the trunk was turned over l to the express company here and Le- roy gave up the apartment. Efforts | of police to find the driver of a truck 1 who took the trunk from the Leroy l apartment failed. Search throughout this country, Mexicco and South America failed to reveal the where abouts Of Leroy, although numerous men answering his description were detained for questioning.

 scrfption closely resembles that O. the man arrested in Cheboygan, Mich. tonight followed the discovery in thiS city, July 23. 1920 of a trunk con | taining the body of a woman latel identified as Katherine Jackson, Le- roy's wife.

Delegates Representing New
Greek Government Will
Meet Face To Face With
Former Greek Premier
Venizelos.

London, Feb. 3.-The conference of
the British prime minister, Mr.. Lloyd
George, Premier BRAND of France and
Foreign Minister Sforza of Italy with
representatives of Greece and Turkey,
which is to open here Monday, Febru-
airy 81. has for its object the settle
ment of important near eastern ques-
tons growing out of the treaty of
Sevres. In point of world interest and
perplexity it is expected to rank with
the now historic conference of Hythe,
Brussels and San Reno.
One OF the most interesting features
of the gathering will be the meeting
face to face of the delegates repre-
senting the new Greek government
under King Constantine with the for
mer Greek Premier Venizelos for the
first time since Venizelos withdrew
from Greece after the defeat Of his
ministry in the elections and the re-
call of the king.
This o%vcrturn in Greek affairs was
an important factor in influencing the
allies to call the conference.
One of the most difficult issues con-
fronting the delegates will be the dis
position of the port of Smyrna and the
semi-circle of adjacent territory on the
Aegean sea, 100 kilometers long and
100 Kilometres broad which, under the
terms of the treaty, was placed un-
der the sovereignty of Greece.
Since the signing of the. treaty Of
Sevres. however, Turkey has demand
ed the a~brogation of Greek rights in
myrna as we'll as autonomy for
Thrace. Thrace was given outright to
Greece. The demand for autonomy in
Thrace is made by the Turks despite
the remuneration by the Ottoman gov

Plans for holding the conference
were complicated by disputes which
arose both in Turkey and Greece as
to the delegations to represent those
countries. The Rhallis ministry in
Greece fell and a new premier. NJ.
Kalogeropoulous, was chosen. He is
expected to head the Greek commits

mier OF Greece. now in London, Is ex-

conference as it WAS while he, was pre-
mier that Thrace and Smyrna were

~ relations with the allies while the
attitude OF the allies toward the new
Greek premies has not been defined.
Vcnizelos has declared that the
possibility of restoring in any degree
whatever the blasting rule Of the Turk
by revision of the treaty is Incredible
Turkeys representation at the con-
Terence was complicated by the fact
that the Ottoman government, headed
by the sultan controls only a small ter
ritory in the vicinity Of Constantine
pie, the RoSphOrus and the Sea of Mar
mora, while Anatol;a. the greater part
Of Turkey in Asia, is controlled by
Mustapha Renal Pasha. the leader Of
the nationalist revolt which followed
the treaty of Sevres.
Hewfk Pasha, the Turkish grand
vizier. heads the delegation that will
represent the Ottoman government OF
Constantinople. Renal Pasha Who at
frst declared he would not do so un-
less the. allies withdrew from Turkey
and waived their indemnity claims,
also consented later to send represent

eminent Of it's sovereignty over Tur-
key in Europe outside of Constantine
pie as well as it's control over eight or
more islands in the Aegean sea.
Maintenance Of Turkish sovereignty
over the territory awarded to Armenia
Is another demand of the Ottoman
government which is to come up for
settlement. In the treaty. it was pro-
vided that Armenia was recognized as
"a Tree and independent state" Tur-
Key accepted h proposal that the
president of the United States should
be the arbitrator as to the frontier in
the provinces. of Ezerum. T%rebizond,
Van Bitlis and as to the access Of Ar
menia to the sea.
Modification of the economic claus
es of the treaty which infringe upon
Turkish sovereignty INC independ-
ence' will also be sought. The treaty
OF Sevres provides that the Turkish
government can contract no loan, in
ternal or external. without the con-
sent of a permanent English-French-
Italian commission whose duties in
clude the supervision of all Ottoman
financial laws and the reformation of
the country's monetary system. This
commission is also to determine the
amount of the annual sums to be paid
by Turkey for the cost of occupation
Of her territory by allied troops.
Turkeys desire to maintain a de
fensive army will also be considered
by the delegates. The military clauses
of the treaty forbade Turkey to have
a fleet or military airplanes and pro-
vided that all the Notifications along
the Dardanelles were tt be DESTROYED.
The work of demolition is reported
nearly complete. France, England and
Italy were obligated to maintain an
army of occupation. Turkey was al
lowed for police purposes a force Of
$4,000 men. with $4,000 special gend-
armes to reinforce them in case of
trouble. and a bodyguard of 700 for
the sultan.
