Eberly saw the picture of the
woman last week and wrote to the
Baltimore detectives. telling them
that It resembled his wife. Yes
terday he visited headquarters here
and after looking at the picture
Of the woman which was made
after death, he said he felt sure
that the victim was his wife.
She looks like my wife and
believe she was my wife," he told
Detective Sergeant Morgan after he
had viewed the photograph. She
left me last January and took my
daughter with her. Since that time
I have not seen her or heard from
her. Recently a friend OF mine
who knew her told me that he saw
her in Baltimore in company with
a man who looked like an Italian.
I hurried there And walked day and
night in the Italian section in the
hone that / would stumble across
her. One Italian who answered
the description given me was trailed
by me, but | gave up the shadow

down dark streets toward the

not yet been learned II he made the

TO the effect that ii Is highly I'M
probable that further Identification
is possible owing to the decomposed
condition of the body. From the
time the victim was discovered

Of the battered condition Of the face.
Eberly said he sold his farm and
spent the proceeds in his futile hunt.
He has roamed from city to city

tectives, that causes his anxiety and
restless nights, but his daughter.

Milon, sweetheart Of the woman,
was taken into custody at Harris

confident that Milton can throw
some light on the mystery.
Mrs. Angelina Milon, wife OF the
man in custody, was arrested yester-
day by Baltimore detectives and
after being subjected to a severe
grilling admitted that her spouse
might be found In the Pennsylvania
city. Five other men are being

Strikers Policy Committee
Leaves After Rejecting
Har/ng's Proposal.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES,
International News Service.

Hopes for a quick and early
settlement of the national coal
. strike while al the major parties
to the controversy are gathered
in Washington apparently were
dashed to the ground this after
noon with the announcement that
the policy committee of the
United Mine Workers is to leave
the Capital today and return to
their respective homes.
The policy committee. some 200
strong, Is the authority which
makes or breaks strikes, so far
rs the United Mine Workers are
concerned, and the present strike
cannot be peaceably adjusted with
out its consent.
Operators i'm Conference.
The announcement was made just
rs the bituminous coal operators
were going into session in a down.
town hotel to determine what
answer to make to President Hard
ing's offer of Federal arbitration.
The miners refused the offer Satur-
day night.
The international Union officers
John l.. Lewis, Philip Murray and
William Green-are remaining in
Washington, but they are not em-
powered to accept or reject meas
ures to end the strike without con.
sultation with the Policy Committee.
1t took a week to get the committee
to Washington to act on President
,Harding's offer.
Harding Marks Time.
Meanwhile, the Administration
marked time in both rail and coal
strikes. President Harding sent
word to inquirers that there was
nothing he could say at this time in
advance of receiving the answer Of
the bituminous operators tonight.
A. M. Ogle, spokesman for the
operators, conferred with the Pres
ident, Secretaries Mellon and Hoover
for an hour this morning prior TO
the operators caucus, but said he
proposed nothing. and was merely
familiarizing himself anew with the
Governments viewpoint
II is believed Ogle told the Presi-
dent there is little hope for a united
verdict from the operators. both

being opposed to the Presidents
offer. while the Illinois and Ohio
men are more inclined to favor 1t.

DISCUSS RESOLUTION
ON RENT PROFITEERINC
(By Associated Press


SHAMOKIN, Pa, Jan. 19.-The an
thracite mine workers convention
planned TO consider today a partial
report of the resolutions committee,
pending a report by the wage scale
committee on the demands to be pre-
sented to the hard coal operators be-
fore March 81 when the present work
ing agreement expires.
One resolution would instruct the
legislative committee to support an
anti-rent profiteering bill in the legis-
lature next year along the lines of the
New York law. The bill, it was said,
is not aimed al coal companies but at
conditions that exist in cities and
boroughs.
The scale committee expected to
make a report to the convention to-
morrow. The drafting of the demands
is in the hands of a subcommittee of
nine, made up of International and dis
trict officers of the United Mine
Workers. Leaders expected the scale
committee to present report provid
ing an increase in wages of between
IS and 20 percent, giving to the men
the full increase asked for in 1920
which was cut down by the award OF

mission"

CONDITION OF Pope
NOT THOUGHT SERIOUS
CRy Associated Press)

ROME, Jan. 19-The condition OF
Pope Benedict, who is suffering from
a cold, is not considered serious, but
he will be forced to remain in bed five
or six days. it was said at the Vatican
today. The cold has settled in the
bronchial tubes.
The correspondent was informed
this morning that the pope's tempera-
ture had subsidized to almost normal.
His Holiness is eating very little and
has been ordered to remain quiet.
Pope Benedict has never known
what it was to be really i'll. Through
out his life he has always enjoyed the
best of health and it is difficult for
him to remain in bed. He kept on
conducting the affairs of the church
after the first symptoms of illness ap-
peared until Cardinal Gasparris urg-
ings were successful in inducing him
to take his bed.
The cardinal was successful only
after it was seen that the pontiffs
temperature was fluctuating and that
there were disquieting signs of influ-
enza and bronchial trouble.
