WOMAN HELD
AS SUSPECT IN
KABER MURDER
Detectives Believe killing for
Hire Chief Business of
'NIurderess.'

CLEVELAND. o., June 9-Prosecutor
Edward W. stanton today brought to
gether face TO face the two latest suspects
held in connection with the murder Of
Daniel Kaber. wealthy publisher, with
each other, IN an effort to establish their
connection with each other In relations
to tho murder plot which resulted IN the
death Of the invalid nearly two years
ago.
The latest suspect, a man believed by
detectives 10 have been the man with a
cap referred 10 by Kaber Just before his
death. was taken at his homo on Mans
field road as he was making preparations
to leave the city.
The other suspect, a woman arrested
at Sandusky, has been held incom-
municado in the county jail except for
brief questioning by Prosecutor stanton.
THEORY POISON
FIRST ADMINISTERED
Authorities dre working on the theory
that a woman was first hired to admin
lister arsenic to Kaber in the hope Of
causing his death, but that the poison
did not secure results with sufficient
speed and that two men were then hired
70 WELD the stilletto, that caused his
death.
The woman, according TO the police
theory, made a business of killing men
for hire and Detective Phil Mooney said
that at least three deaths by arsenic
cOulG be traced to her through evidence
secured in the Kaber investigation which
has gone on under the guidance Of Moses
Kaber. father OF the murdered man. for
more than eighteen months.
Mrs Mary Brickel, aged mother Of Mrs.
Eva Catherine Kaber. alleged principal
in the murder plot, is still in the county
Jail, all efforts by her relatives to secure

Repudi0te "a Word
of London Speech

LONDON, June 81 have no
reason to believe l was misquoted in
cable accounts of my speech before
the English Speaking Union,' Admiral
William Sims told the United Press
today. Sims said he had not received
the cable sent by Secretary Denby
asking If the Anti-Sinn Eein quota
tions were correct.
q presume Irish politicians in the
United states are trying to stir up
trouble" he said
Sims said he could not comment on
the seCretary's action in cabling him.
He did not appear greatly worried
over the possibility of a reprimand.

WASHINGTON, June 0.-The future of

his speech # was assumed the matter

the account is admitted, DENLY, 1t was
said, is prepared to take summary action.
President Harding is Oeilg urged to
act also.
There was the possibility Of a long
controversy over the propriety Of the ad-
miral's remarks, naval regulations in
such matters being regarded as highly
elastic.
Sims reply to the secretary's cable
gram was awaited with the keenest in
terest- His assertion before the English
Speaking Union Club in London that no
attention should be paid TO Irish sym
pathizers in America and other stronger
remarks had caused a sensation here
There was strong belief that Sims

pointed out that he was described as

SIMULTANEOUS
DISARMAMENT.
Colonel GaIbraith's last statement
written just before his death, was plea
for simultaneous disarmament among the
world powers.
The American Legion, however,
Galbraith said, Is "unshakeably opposed
to any plan for disarmament by the
United States which shall not be ac-
companied by the simultaneous dis
armament of the other world powers.
The statement asserted that plans are
under way to launch in this country a
nationwide campaign advocating dis
armament by the United States "on the
theory that we shall thus set an example
which other nations will be obliged to
emulate"
Colonel Ga1braith characterized such a
course as foolish and dangerous" He
asserted the goal of goals" of the Amer
lean Legion is to bring about world
peace and he was making plans toward
that end, working in conjunction with

today after flames had burned down their
large residence.
\ posse Of deputy sheriffs was sent TO
the scene Os the crime and began a
search Of the countryside in an effort to

The fact that the head had been
