LORD LACSELLES FAILS
Husband of Princess Mary. Undertak- ing to Produce New Typewriter Goes Under in Business Venture.

London, Aug. 9.-The first business venture of Lord Lascelles, better known as the husband of Princess Mary, has proved a failure. The Con- queror Typewriter Manufacturing company in Stourton, near Leeds, of which he was the head and principal shareholder. has just been sold.
 The concern was started in 1919 with a nominal capital of half mill lion sterling. It was intended by the promoters to produce an all British typewriter which should compete with the best of the American machines.
 The erection of the factory and it's equipment was undertaken at time when prices ruled high. No expense was spared and when the works were completed they were considered the Hast word in modern mass produc- tions.
 It was hoped that the new industry would provide regular employment for 400 work people. Much eXperi- mental work was undertaken in or der to justify the name of Con queror" and ensure production on a sufficiently profitable basis, But owing to the industrial slump not single machine has been produced. for sale.

BRITISH CRUISER
 IS IN DISTRESS
Naval Vessel, White Elephant
 Since War, Runs Aground

New York. Aug. 9.-The British cruiser Raleigh, which is aground in the Straits of Belle Isle, touched at Washington last May, the first British naval vessel of her class to visit the capital since 1874.
 Known as one of the white ele- plants of the British navy, the Ra- leigh, a vessel of 7,75o tons, was built during the war to hunt for German raiders. She was reported to be cost ly for light cruiser and too light for battle cruiser squadron service.
 The Raleigh was launched in Sep tember. 1919.
 Taking the water at a time when there were no more German raiders to hunt, the vessel gave the navy a hard job to find suitable work for her.
 She had been given 7.5 inch guns much heavier than usually are placed on light cruisers so that she might be able to outranse any common raider the enemy might send out. She car- 'ried also anti-aircraft guns.

R. R. Strikers Claim Roads Are
 in Bad Condition

Washington, Aug. 3 (By Associated Press) .--Leaders of the striking rail- road shop crafts men in the city oc- cupied themselves today with prepa- rations for the general meeting of railroad union officials they expect to hold Friday and with the issuance of statements declaring railroad equip ment to be. in | dangerously deteri- orated condition.
 B. M. Jewell. chairman of the strikers, received notice from Warren Stone, chief Of the engineers brother Aood, that all of the other brother hood heads would accept the invita- ton for the conference.
 i. T. H. Davis, chairman of the gen. Nral shop crafts committee of the Pennsylvania system, headed a dele gation representing men at work which called at the White House and asked President Harding not to coun- tenance any strike settlement which would injure the seniority status of men who remained In railroad service in spite of the strike. About 6b per cent. of the Pennsylvania shop em- ployes, Mir. Davis asserted, stayed on the job and a great many of the orig tnAl strikers had returned.
 MT. Jewell and other union officials laid before the labor department a protest against the alleged importa- tion of strikebreakers from Europe by railroads in defiance of immigra- tion laws. The immigration author tiles said the complaint had not been verified.
 MT. Jewell's statement on condition Of railroad equipment said that re- ports of the American railroad asso- ciation on repaired locomotives and ears since the strike were incomplete and were one of the many examples of the methods by which the railroads were attempting to drive the people and lull them into a sense of security regarding the railroad situation.'

HELD FOR MURDER;
 SHE ACCUSES LOVER
Alleges ClandeStine Sweetheart
 Shot Man Who Knew Secret

Baltimore, Aug. s.-Charged with the murder three months ago of J. Bernard Pattison, a young farmer, near Savage, Md, Mrs. Mary Belle Pease and William Garter cronmiler are under arrest in Ellicott City.
 Mrs. Pease's love for her uncle, who was held for the crime in the hope she would confess in order to free him, and the testimony of her son led to the arrests. Now Mrs. Pease and Cronmiller accuse each other of killing Pattison.
 The two had been carrying on a love affair for five years, and this was the cause for Mrs. Peases hus- hand leaving her. In some way Pat tison learned of the affair, and it is supposed this was the reason for the murder.
 The dead man had always carried a stick and Mrs Pease's son, the only one of her three children left her after the separation from her hus- band, told officers he saw his mother burning the stick.
 They took her into custody, and after severe questioning she confess ed, according to the police. She said her uncle was innocent and that Cronmiller was really the murderer.
 Pattison had been confined in hos ptal for the insane several times, but shortly before his death was discharg- ed as cured. Mrs. Pease and Cronmil- Ter, however, feared he might break his promise to keep their secret and therefore they decided to kill him, the woman is quoted as confessing.
 "Cn the night of May H." her statement continues T met Pattison in the woods. Cronmiller was there at the time. Pattison again threaten ed to tell what he had seen. Then Cronmiller took him further into the woods. When he returned alone, Cronmiller said; Well, it's all over. have shot Pattison. He will not trou- ble us any more"
 On the strength ofa this story the police have arrested Cronmiller. He denies any part in the killing and in- sists Mrs Pease told him she had herself shot Pattison.

Railroad Strike Gives Them Chance
 to Rest Up.

Chicago. Aug. g (By Associated Press) .--Dr. Ben L. Reitman, vice president of Hobo college for migra- tory workers, said today that the rail strike has proved one long season of bliss to hoboes.
 The migratory workers, according to Dr. Retman, have evolved a sys- tenn for beating the railroads. They sign up at Chicago to work in the shops at some distant point. The railroads ship them out in Pullman cars while their meals, the best of everything, is furnished in dining cars. Arriving at his destination, the hobo works day or two, or jumps the job and shortly is signing up with another road.
 In this way they keep travelling with only an occasional day or two of work to interrupt an otherwise per- feet "see America first"
