IS MYSTERY MAN
WHO ENDED LIFE
Body Found in Hotel Room

Miami Fla. Oct. 23.-The ''man of
mystery who committed suicide last
Thursday night in local hotel was
identified Sunday as Warren G.. Spur
gin, missing president Of the Michigan
Avenue Trust company, of Chicago, by
w. +. Bennett of Miami, former Chi
cago broker and intimate friend of
Spurgin.
The body was identified first as

was found Friday morning when en-
ployes of the hotel forced an entrance
to the room. A bullet wound in the
forehead and revolver. containing one
spent cartridge, supports the theory of
suicide.
Spurgin apparently had taken con-
siderable precaution to obliterate every
mark on his clothing which might have
led to Identification. Even parts of
the lining of his shoes had been cut
out and could not be found
Bennett was positive in his identi-,
fication Of the body as that of the
missing Chicago banker, saying that
he could not be mistaken as he often
had been in Spurgins company, had
dined with him on numerous occasions
and had entertained the banker in re-

HELPLESS CLAIM
Cabinet Believes Burden
Too Heavy for Ger
many to Garry.
Wirth Tells of Trouble
Members Had Trying
to Meet Obligations.

Berlin, ct. 23.-(By the Associated
Press.)-The ministerial crisis contin-
ues. President Ebert Sunday received
Herr Loeb, president Of the reichstag,
and the party leaders of all sections.
The entire situation was discussed, but
with respect to the formation Of new
ministry The consultations will pro-
ceed again Monday.
In his letter informing President
Ebert of the resignation of the cabinet,
Chancellor Wirth said the ministry had
assumed responsibility for carrying out
the ultimatum Of the allies at grave
moment and that for five months it has
continued political affairs, animated by
desire to regulate the situation be-
tween Germany and the allies and to
restore Europe by fulfillment of the
treaty obligations.
Meet Heavy Demands
The cabinet, the letter added, had
met the heavy demands made upon the
German people, particularly as regards
the payment of the one billion gold
marks on October 81. and has received
allied acknowledgment of the fulfill
ment of its obligations in the matter of
disarmament. which was effected in the
face of great difficulties.
1T might have been expected" says
the letter. that in view Of German
efforts and an earnest desire totally to
fulfill the treaty obligations that the
occupation of the Ruhr would have
ceased, and that regarding Upper Sile--
sia solution would have been found
in harmony with the sense of justice
of the German people of Upper ST.
lesia and future peaceful relations be-
tween the European nations.
Instead, there has been decree
by which, not only extensive tracts of
Upper Silesia, but also flourishing Ger
man towns and the greater portion of
the internal wealth and four-fifths of
the factories will be torn from the Ger
man home land. Moreover. great
part of the population which falls to
Poland is of German origin and Ger
man speaking, and despite the right
cal result Of the plebscite, will be sub
ject to foreign domination.
Burden Too Heavy
"Neyer can the German people for
get this loss which has been inflicted
and which the defenseless must accept
Although the cabinet still is convinced
that only sincere efforts to fulfill all
parts of the agreement can render pos
sible the political and economic situa-
tion of Europe. it is convinced that the
limits of German capacity and the pos
sibility of fulfllment have been ma
terially reduced by the Silesian decree
and that new situation therefore has
arisen for Germany.
''In view of these facts the cabinet |
has decided to relinQuish office"

LOYAL TROOPS

Monarchists Prepare for
Big Attack to Force
Back Opponents.
Government Hopes to
Hold Out Until Other
Soldiers Arrive. .

Vienna, Oct. 23.-(By The Associ-
ated Press. THE exact situation in
Hungary now is beyond the knowledge
Of the Austrian foreign office, which
Sunday lost communication with
Budapest. There have been all kinds
of rumors, including one reporting the
entry of Charles. the former king. into
Budapest. and the detection of some
of the government forces to Charles
banner as well as the pulse of the
monarchist forces and other conflict
ing information. But it is known be-
yond doubt that there has been
brisk. and possibly sanguinary, fight
ing close to Budapest
A telephone message from Prague
said that Charles had succeeded in
reaching Budapest, while the Vienna
Freie Presse announces that the
Italian legation has received news
from Budapest that some of the troops
in that capital have declared in favor
Of Charles. .
KarIists Checked
Early reports agreed that the Karl
lists had been checked at Budaor,
which is about II miles from Buda-
pest. one of the dispatches saying that
the train that preceded Charles had
reached that place but was forced to
back out hurriedly upon a show of
resistance by the government troops
Oedenburg, Steinamanger and Stuhl-
weissenburg troops. it is declared, are
Fastening to reinforce the ex-king, and
the fact that bloodshed has begun is
believed by those who know the Hun
garian character to foreshadow
final grapple between the reactionary
and the republican forces that prob
ably will extend beyond the borders.
Though possibly checked, the mon
archists gre evidently concentrating
for further attacks for latest, though
meagre advices, say that the battle
between the monarchists and govern
ment troops continues. and also that
the behavior of the government
forces is irreproachable Government
circles hope to be able to hold out
until the arrival of reinforcements
from the provinces, which are ex-
pected Monday afternoon.
1nsurgent bands from Burgenland
are reported to be marching to the
support of Charles. An Oedenburg
dispatch to the Tagblatt gives the re-
port of the resignation Of the Bethlen
cabinet, but this is without cnofirma-

miral Beatty, of the British admiralty,
General Armando Diaz. italian COM
mander-in- chief. and Lieutenant Gen.
eral Jacques, Of the Belgian army.
The three dignitaries had arrived at
the Pennsylvania station to board a
special train that was to take them to
Washington and the camera man con-
ceived the idea of group picture. He
enlisted the aid of Station Master
Maurice Egan, who communicated with
Admiral Beatty and readily obtained
his consent to pose. Then General
Jacques was appealed to and he, too,
consented.
This is America! Let's Go!
But when the camera mans purpose
was explained to an aide Of General
Diaz. who was in his private car watt
ing for the train to start, the aide in
sisted that military etiquette required
'if that be DONE the other military
men must first pay their respects to

the aide. 'Ths is America. Let's

WILL OPPOSE CHARLES

Budapest, Oct. 23.-The Hungarian
government. while Charles and his army
were yet some miles from the capital.

former kings intention to invade Buda-
pest, established line of defense
around the town Bickewich, so miles
from Budapest, which is held by the
regiments recruits from the Hapsburg
peasants Of certain districts. The
troops were under stringent orders to
prevent the passage of Charles train,
and as precaution, the rails were torn
up.
Charles apparently gained some
ground, as the troops at Komorn
which according to previous reports
had turned back his train are now said
to have sworn allegiance to him. For
mer Empress Iita is believed to be
with him. but is suffering from a cold
which she acquired during her air
plane trip.
The cabinet, after notifying the al
lies of it's decision to oppose the
restoration of Charles. remained in
continuous session, devising means of
action. The ministers representing the
agricultural element asked for the ar
rest OF the former king.
Martial Law Proclaimed.
Archduke Friedrich, who was here
for two days. with his mother, Iso-
bella, said to have had ambitious plans
for himself and is greatly embarrassed
by the sudden and unwelcome return
Of his relative.
The Bethlen cabinet claims to be
master of the situation and there is
apparent calm in Budapest
Martial law has been proclaimed

well as the presidents.
The sessions will be open to the

Railroad officials tonight expressed
the belief that the backbone of the

majority Of the standard unions which
control most of the railroad employees,
decided not to strike October 80.
Although the strike. if it material

men. officials said that service would
not be impaired for more than day
or two and that these men would be
quickly replaced.
