KILLED BY DRUGS
Former Baltimore Beauty's
Body Now Lies Unclaimed.
Police Search for Male Com
paniOn at N. Y. Hotel.

New York, Aug. 1.-The body of
Sarah Cowen, former Baltimore So
ciety girl and daughter of the late
John K. Cowen. one time president of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
which was found in a hotel room here
yesterday, remained unclaimed in the
morgue today. Miss Cowen died, the
medical examiners office reported, of
alcoholism and drug poisoning.
Police records show that the young
woman, after being dismissed in 1919
from Postgraduate hospital where she
had been a probationary nurse, was
committed to Blackwelps Island as a
drug addict Nothing further had
been heard of her since her discharge
from BlackwelIs Island as cured.
Reports from Baltimore said Miss
Cowen had dropped out of the social
life of that city several years ago.
She had been known in Baltimore as
one of the most beautiful debutantes
OF the season in which she made her
debut, and in 1909 eloped with
Charles Nonson, jr., of New Haven,
Conn. She later divorced Nonson.
The police were searching today for
a man with whom Miss Cowen regis
tered at the hotel, hoping he could
shed more light on her recent life and
the manner of her death.

BLACK SOx CASE GOES TO JURY
Attorneys for Both Sides Claim Speedy
Verdict in Their Favor.

Chicago. Aug. 1.-Attorneys for the
defense, in the baseball trial today,
opened ten hours of argument in an
effort to convince the jury thai there
was no conspiracy between former
White Sox players and alleged gamb-
lers to throw the 1919 world series to
Cincinnati Henry Berger,e represent
ing Carl Zork, of ST. Louis, opened
for the defense, which probably will
complete its case late today or tomor-
row morning, after which the state
will close in about two hours, the
case going to the jury late Tuesday or
early Wednesday.
Judge Hugo Friend has announced
that he will not sustain a verdict of
guilty against Fork, and Mr.. Berger's s
testimony dealt, for the most part,
with technicalities of the conspiracy
laws.
OF the eleven defendants originally
on trial, Ben and Louis Levi, alleged
gamblers, have been discharged. and
Judge Friend has announced that he
will direct verdicts of not guilty for
Felsch and Weaver unless more evil
dence was found.
Attorneys for both sides today is

verdict in their favor.

w. S. Hyatt Appears Before Indus
trial Court in Parsons Suit

Attorney w. S. Hyatt of Parsons to-
day filed an answer in the wage case
against the Parsons branch of the
Swift & Co. packing plant. The ac-
ton WAS brought before the industrial
court by chicken pickers employed by
the company.
Hyatt in his answer alleges that a
number of men who filed action in
the case are not American citizens and
can not maintain an action in courts
of this state. He also alleges that sew
eral men whose names appear on the
wage application were not employees
of the company at the time the ap-
plication was made. He further as
serts that the law under which the
action was brought violates the four
teenth amendment to the federal con-
stitution. The supreme court, how
ever, in a special memorandum in the
Wolff Packing company case in July,
held that the industrial court act does
not violate the fourteenth amendment.
The Swift case is on the industrial
court docket for hearing this month.

Wife Refused to Allow Husband
Report Bank Robbery.
Safe Breakers, Undisturbed, Got
Big Loot Near Frankfort.

Frankfort. Kan. Aug. because
Mrs. Matt Dowd feared for her hus-
band to go out on the street and re-
port what he saw, burglars Sunday
night were undisturbed in their work
of tunncling thru the vault of the
State bank at Lillis, near here, and
escaping with between $4,000 and
SIS, 600 in liberty bonds and securities
and about $500 cash.
Dowd. whose home is about a block
from the bank, is said to have OBJ
served the men while they were en-
Nged in their work. There is no tele-
pnone in his house, however. and his
wife, it is declared, would not permit
him to go out and report the robbery.
The men obtained tools from the
Union Pacific section house, with
which they tunneled thru the vault of
the bank. They took $500 in money
and stamps belonging to the postoffiee
and r1fled twelve security boxes. Sew
eral liberty bonds and securities were
taken.
The robbers then escaped in an au-
tomobile. No description of either
the men or the car was obtained and
officers have no clue to follow in trail
ing the bandits. The robbery occurred
shortly after midnight.
