SEVERED HAND
MYSTERY CAUSE
Coroner Parker Asked to
Join in Investigation of
Strange Crime.
GET HAND ON CAR
Severed Left Hand of Supposed
Murdered Man Found on Car
Here and Taken to Highwood.

The mystery surrounding the finding
of human hand and portion of a
human arm on car Of the Chicago
North Shore and Milwaukee Electric
railway at Kenosha a week ago today
was furnishing a battling mystery for
police officers in the North Shore ci-
ties and while it is believed that the
CHASTITY find on the car was a part of
the body of an unidentified man which
was found in the Kinnickinic river at
Milwaukee late Saturday night no So
luton of the mystery of the severed
hand has been found.
"In answer to call from Milwau-
kee late on Saturday night" said Cor
oner Parker this morning, 81 made an
investigation on Sunday I found that
a human hand had been found on one
of the cars Of the North Shore road
here week ago but it was not placed
in my custody and was not called to
make an investigation. The hand was
taken on the car to Highwood and Of
fcials of the company said that it had
been disposed of there. l have no 9TH
er information in regard to the story
and I was not called to investigate un-
til after the hand had been disposed
Of"
Believe Man Was Murdered.
It is believed that the man found in
the river was murdered and his left
arm cut off. 1t is also believed that
the hand found on the street car when
it reached Kenosha is part of the
body and efforts to have the hand sent
back to Milwaukee are being made. The
body of the man showed that his right
arm had been broken in two places,
and he had suffered a skull fracture.
The body appears to be that of a
man about thirty eight years of age
and he wore clothing indicating that
he was workman in some factory. On
Sunday the body was identified as the
remains of Anton Pzepiejewski of Mil
waukee but later in the day it was
found that this man was working at
Kohler, a suburb of Sheboygan. The
theory has been advanced that the man
might have fallen from the docks in
Milwaukee and his arm had been torn
of when caught in the propeller of a
boat but this theory fails to account
for the severed hand being found on
the electric car E3a
No One Missing From Here.
The officials. thought it possible that
the man might have nbeen murdered
and his body takengte Milwaukee and
thrown into the river there. 1t is diff
fcult, however, for Sthe officials to
frame out any theory which would sug
gest that the man could have been
taken on car after he had been
killed. Ja
No one answering the description of
the man has been9 reported as missing
from Kenosha but the unusual features
of the case have caused Kenosha of
fcials to take ansinterest in the search
for farther evidence in the case.
II don't know what the officials Of
the North Shore line did with this
hand" said Coroner Parker. 81 was
advised that they had disposed Of it
and | did not go farther into the case.
1t was not case for investigation in
Kenosha county"

RENEW NEGOTIATIONS
TO STOP COAL STRIKE
Nineteen Demands of Workers Taken
Up for Consideration in New
York Conference.
CBy Associated Press Leased Wire


New ork City.-Labor members of
the anthracite arbitration wage scale
subcommittee returned from Clege-
land today to renew negotiations with
the operators in an effort to avert the
strike called for next Saturday night.
Both operators and miners expressed a
desire to end general discussions and
to confne future sessions to consider
alton of the 10 demands of the work
ers. Demanding a 20To increase in
wages the miners say they proposed to
demonstrate that wages in the mines
failed to keep pace with wages in other
industries during the war; that the
total increase has been only CSC since
1916; that the mine operators are max
ing an excessive profit by underpaying
labor and overcharging the consumer;
and that the mines could continue to
show a reasonable profit to the opera
tor after granting both an increase in
wages and reduction of prices. The
operators indicated that today they
would make known the percentage of
wage cuts they advocate in counter
proposals to the 10 demands of the
miners. Asserting they will not con-
slider a wage increase, the operators
say that costs of mining and trans
porting coal have not decreased and
that the market for coal has suffered
because of the public's inability to pay
prevailing prices.

Washington, D. Can amendment
to the army appropriation bill which
would increase from $27,635,26O to
$42,815,661 the amount carried in the
measure for continuing work on vari-
Gus river and harbor Improvements
during the coming fiscal year was of
fered today by Chairman Dempsey of
the rivers and harbors committee.
The house Immediately plunged into
a fight over the item, Chairman An
thony of the subcommittee, in charge
of the bill, contending the amount
recommended in the bill was adequate
while Mr.. Dempsey held work on vari-
Gus projects would have to be. curtailed
unless the item was increased.
Battle For Principle.
Representative Mondell, Republican,
leader, pleading with house members
to reject the Dempsey amendment re-
ferred to is as a "raid on the treasury
and declared it was the "first organ
lied assault on the budget system"
"Are we going to stand by the bud
get, or let it fall?" he asked, added
that some members would support the
amendment because of appeals from
folks at home and in the hope of get
ting little of the rake off, for their
own districts. Chairman Madden OF
the appropriations committee also ex-
pressed opposition while Representa-
tive Byrne, Tennessee, ranking Demo
crat member of the committee spoke in
support of the proposal.
Much Money Available.
Mr.. Madden said that at the begin
ming of the coming fiscal year bal
ance of approximately $15,O0O,O0C
would be available for river and har-
Dor improvements while if the sum
carried in the bill; was appropriated q
total of $42,O0O,O00 would be available
for work during the year.
Mr.. Byrne declared that unless the
amount was increased little or nothing
would be available for inland water
way improvements, as requirements
for harbors would consume almost the
entire allotment.
This statement was challenged BY
Representative Stafford, Wisconsin. a
Republican on the subcommittee
which drafted the bill who asserted
that at least $8,00O,OOO would be avail
able for inland waterway projects.

terially to his support in the campaign
of two years ago and it is expected
that organizations which stood strong
for him in the primary campaign and
as an independent candidate for the
Office will again rally to his support.
The fact that he ran Independently
left no rancor behind it as it was held
that he was forced into the race by the
demand of his friends. Political
dopesters when they heard of the an

clared that they believed he would be
stronger this year than before.
Joachim is Being Groomed.
1t is beginning to look as if Scholey
might be opposed in the election test
by Mayor John G. Joachim. The may
or has been reported candidate for
sheriff and some of his friends are
already busy urging his candidacy but
he has declined to consent to any for

about that later on but not now" was
all the mayor had to say when asked
in regard to the matter.
There was & report that the mayor
might be candidate for congress to
lposc Congressman H. A. Cooper fol
. fe-election and it was said that sew
eral> of the leading Democrats in the
district had promised support. The
mayor admitted that he had given this
matter some consideration.
The county Democratcy seems to
consider the mayor the one best bet
to break into the county campaign this
fall and overturn the Republican ma
