The body was identified yesterday By

a search of the United States. Europe,

When he first disappeared from Chi

with an accident or had been murdered.
Then his bank associates discovered that
the books had been altered and several of
the most capacious and closely guarded
vaults in the bank had been ritled.
Continuing, the authorities found that
Spurgin's own safe deposit vault was lit

One rather discouraging feature and
an element that is giving the local manu-
facturerS much concern is the fact that
more rough granite is being shipped out
of town than is being cut here. 1t can
be shipped out of the state and cut else
where at a smaller cost than it could be
done here The local manufacturers
blame the high wages paid here for this

among them that wages viii have TO be

are now cutting their own work.
The manufacturers are trying to clean
up all business on hand before the cold

penSes are much higher.

Strike Postponed.
The trouble about bringing up some
wartime laws is that the strike would
only be postponed. What is really
sought by all sides is permanent settle
ment or a decision, at least, of how far
employers on the one hand can organize
for the purpose of standardiZing employ
ment and how far employees can organize
to interrupt commerce and injure the
public welfare.
The threatened railroad strike affects
a public utility but, politically speaking,
its significance is more extensive than
that The administration realizes that it
must be careful in its moves to proceed
absolutely according to law or it will lay
itself open to the bittereSt kind of politi-
cal warfare such as was waged against
Attorney General Palmer after his raids

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Powerless
to invoke any wartime laws because Of a
feeling that public sentiment would not
sanction such a step as the date for a
formal proclamation of peace approaches,
the administration is really without any
special authority to stop a railroad strike.
This disclosure has followed upon 81
search of the statutes to see if there was
not some specific law which applied to
the present situation. In time of wal"
as the national defense act reads, the
President has plenty OF power. He can
even take over the operation of the rail
roads. OF course, the President in time
of peace could proclaim martial law in
any section of the country where a dis
turbance occurred and assume control of
the situation in that particular section.
Such an extreme course is not likely,
however.
There is a confidence rather that the
power of public opinion will compel ODE
dience. The use of the injunction is be-
ing talked about again, but the contro-
verSy which resulted from the application
of that idea when a coal strike was threat
ened has left an unpleasant task legally
and none of the government officials feel
that it ought to be done.
Penalties Imposed.
On the other hand, the powers of con-
gress to control interstate commerce have
been derived from interpretations of the
constitution and have been sanctioned by
the supreme court of the United States.
Almost over night an amendment could
be passed by congress to the Esch-Cum-
minis law imposing penalties upon anyone
who violates the decisions of the United
States railroad labor board. 1t seems
practically certain that Mr.. Harding will
not rely upon some uncertain powers as
phrased in a statute originally written
for some other purpose. 1t isn't in his
makeup to resort to quibbling or ambi-
guities. He will, moreover. want the
full backing of congress in the emergency
The simple announcement from the White
House that wartime powers would not
| be invoked has been warmly approved in
congress, where it Is felt that with such
an issue at stake no move ought to be
made without specific authority from the

Berlin August 29.--After A meeting of the German cabinet today Pres ident Ehert issued decree prohibit- ing meetings, processions, demon strations and the publication of pe- riodicals and pamphlets likely to en- courage seditious movements.
 The government has proclaimed It's hand and unreienting severity all ihsurrecrions or attempts to subvert public order.
 The proclamation admits that the cerned owing to the disintegration of public morals in Germany, which fact, it declares, threatens to "un- dermine the foundations of the state and empire.
 In time when the nations vitality should be devoted to repair ing the moral, social and economical injuries inflicted by war" the proc iamation says. "unbridled agitation Is openly attempting to undermine the political and constitutional founda : tions on which the new German re- public is to be erected.
 The tenor of the press which was furthering these malicious endeav ors daily is becoming more plain spoken and reveals a fixed plan by unscrupuIous elements, who are aid ing in the overthrow of constitu- tional law and order. National emer- gencies demand that these machina tions of interruptions and misguided elements be opposed with an iron hand.
 The government therefore Is de- termined to undertake that which the circumstances of the pour and the provocation of the foes of the consti- tution make imperative. The govern ment will proceed with tinreienting severity against any and every in- surrection. and it calls upon all or gans Of law and order 10 carry out the provisions of this decree firmly but impartially."
