 Tn A Lonely Rouir,e
[RepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIrel

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Oct. 5. The body of middle-aged man, on which was found a switch-key issued by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail- road and a partly filled out applica- tion blank for a demit issued by a Masonic lodge in Columbia, Mo-, was discovered in a lonely ravine nine miles south of here by deer hunters this afternoon. The key and the marks on the body, except the initials U. L. N" on a small locket attached to watch fob.
 The undertaken who took charge of the body said indications were that the man had been dead six weeks.
 A small lawyers brief case was found about 20 feet from the body and in it were a number of small per sonal belongings, supposed to have been the property of the dead man. Among the articles in the case were a cheap set of draughtsman' instru- ments and a scale such as is used by draughtsmen.
 An empty bill fold, cheap revol- yer with three discharged cartridges and leather cover for a check book issued by a bank in Denison, Texas, also were found in the vicinity of the body.
 According to the theory of Yavapai county officials, the man killed him. l seld with the revolver. although they declare that his absolute lack of money and the fact that the body
 was a mile from the road indicate | that the wounds may not have been self-inflicted. The officials are at | tempting to secure the name of the i owner of the switch key and also to secure the mans name from the Columbia lodge.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 CONCLUDES SECOND
 GENERAL ASSEMBLY
rRepublIcan A.P. Leased wlreJ


 GENEVA, Oct 5-The second as sembly of the league of nations ad- journed tonight after re-electing Bra gil, Belgium, China and Spain the four non n-permanent members Of the council.
 President Van Karnebeek, summing up the work of the session. said those who had expected from the league miracles that would transform the world suddenly into a paradise would be disappointed but the pessimists who had predicted dissolution Of the league would be confounded by the result of the work accomplished He dwelt upon the importance of the ir- ternational court of justice and the various technical organizations set up by the assembly as real progress toward the kind Of internationalism the league was organized to bring about.
 Opinion of majority of the dele gates regarding the work of the league are divided, but the net results apparently give general satisfaction The assembly has done less than ard ent league members thought it ought | to do, but more than conservative delegates believed it could do. The | intermediate results are regarded as a satisfactory compromise by both groups.
 Ths, attitude of the delegates to- ward the Washington conference on the limitation of armaments varies according to the situation of the dif- ferent countries. The small states say it is for the large nations to make a beginning in this direction; hence Washington is the proper place for such a beginning, since there all the greatest armed nations will be gath cred together. There is also a con siderable skepticism. but most of the delegates are hopeful. The delegates of the nations more or less directly intrested in the results of the confer ence are reticent-
 In some delegations, the idea pre- vails that as an outcome of the Washington conference some interna- tionaI organization may be formed which would be apart from the league of nations as at present constituted. Some apprehension is expressed over the possibility of such rival organi- zation-

 BANKS WARNED TO MARK STEP
IRspublIcan A. P. Leased wIrel

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5.- Money was the root of all questions here today in the second session of the American Bankers Associations forty seventh annual convention One question with a promise of mak- ing itself one of the big themes of the convention, was revealed in alignment of forces for and against extension through branch banks, especially by National banks, as sug- Rested in a proposed law reported to be fostered by national banks.
 The seriousness of the question was indicated by declaration of Oscar w. Schaeffer of Girard. Kansas, that Branding extension through branch banks as a forboding of ruin, Schaef- fer asked the state banking division:
 Are you going to let the octopus get its tentacles around you on the state banks2"
 An extended discussion closed with the adoption of a motion placing the division on record as absolutely op- posed to branch banking," with the understanding that the question would be taken before the general session tomorrow.
 Comptroller of the Currency Cris- singer today told the bankers that profiteering banks must beware, for the government is watching them and will not hesitate to charter new national banks within their territory and protests will be useless. 1 From the financial standpoint, the important feature today of the gen. | eral session of the convention, was | commission. It recorded that the worst financial stringency was over and natural recuperative forces were | working for recovery.
 Tomorrow the bankers will elect new officers and Thomas B. Me Adams of Richmond, Va, will be se- lected president. and John H. Pueli- cher of Milwaukee, first vice presi- dent, in the regular course of pro- gressiye election to office. Walter w. Head of Omaha, Neb., is a candi- date for the post of second vice l president.
 Immediate abolishment by con gress of the war labor board was urged as prime necessity by Elliott G. McDougal of Buffalo, N. Y, presi- | dent of the State Bank division, in g speech today before that division.
 The war is over, and a war labor 1 board is not longer needed he said That would not be true were tn, Do~~A0 NOAiie5 ACil. 1NO DOctiQ COdib ds much worse. It is endeavoring no only to perpetuate the ridiculous rule formulated by MT. McAdoo and tn railroad unions, but arbitrarily to ad' to them.

 REDWOOD CITY. Calif.. Oct. 5- A grislv story of a midnight search, by the light of matches, and in a dense fog, for the grave of Father Patrick E Heslin, was described to- day by George Lynn, San Francisco newspaper man in the trial of Will jam A.

Lynn S story came after unusual delays. in- cluding the unseating of one juror because he had discussed the case, and his replacement by woman. member of the second of two special venires called to fill out the depleted panel. This necessitated repetition of the district attorneys opening statement.
 Lynn said, Hightower guided the marty directly and without hesitation fS the grave and seemed familiar with the regions thereabout. Much of his testimony. like th.t of Chief of Po- lice O'Brien of San Francisco, who followed him, related to statements attributed to Hightower.

WASHINGTON. Oct. b.-The peace treaties with Germany. Aus tria and Hungary were before the senate all of today, with a speech of six hours by Senator Sheppard, Democrat, Texas, in opposition to ratification, and an address by Sen ator Moses of New Hampshire, a Republican "irreconcilable,' in favor of the treaties.
 Senator Sheppard discussed pro- ceedings of the league of nations, which, he declared, the United States should join, and Senator Moses in favoring ratification declared the treaties were the s'consummation of the struggle to maintain the independence of the United States''
 Tt cuts us loose at once and, hope, forever" said Senator Moses, from that body of death known as the league of nations" He opposed American representation on the al- lied reparationn commission, al- though, he said, it was no secret that Secretary Hughes favored such rep resentation He added, however that he did not share the fears ex- pressed by Senator Borah, Idaho another Republican "irreconcilable,' that the treaties would force the United States into the league.
 'I can see no reason why any fr- reconcilable should withhold his as- sent to its ratification" he said. Senator Sheppard declared "tht only honorable course for this na- tion is to ratify the treaty of Yer sailles and jo the league of na- tions''
 The league. he added, had already l justified it's existence.

tIonai victims.
 PARIS, oct. 5.-A rear-end colli- sion of two suburban trains in the half mile tunnel leading to the St. Lazare railroad station tonight led to terrifying scenes and the death of many persons. The wrecked cars burst into flames, and the disaster was made all the more terrible by the explosion of gas reservoir.
 At late hour tonight 16 bodies had been recovered. Twenty persons are known to have been seriously in jured and 60 others were slightly in jured. This, however, gives no idea of the extent of the disaster, because the firemen and others engaged in the work of rescue have been unable to get any distance within the tun- nel, owing to the gas fumes.
 The fire spread with great rapidity and for a time cries of distress and the means of the dying were heard on all sides, but these finally were silenced. though the cracking of the blazing wooden coaches could still be heard.
 The firemen were not prepared for the barrage of poisonous fumes which assailed them as they reached the scene. Finally they succeeded in playing four streams on the last coaches at the St. Lazare end of the tunnel but these were empty and not burning, while IT coaches in the cen ter of the tunnel, far from the fire mems efforts, were burning fiercely At no time could they get closer than 1 500 feet from the inferno. Now and then a passenger with blackenee face would come struggling out, beg 1 ging the helpless firemen, police and soldiers to enter the tunnel and save 1 those dying within.
 l The minister of public works, M Le Troquer, who helped direct tht
 rescue work, described 1t as 's vision of hell.'' He announced ths dead would be buried and the injured
 receive medical treatment at the ex- ! pense of the state.
 About 100000 commuters surround
 ed the yards but were refused ad
 mittance. Confusion resulted ane
 many commuters repaired to the bar
 racks, placed at their disposal by th' l government.
 The American Red Cross unit wa among the first in the relief work
 The accident was said to have beel
 due to the breaking of an airbrak pipe on the first train. and 1t i thought that the train following cam into collision through faulty work ing of the signals.
