Secretary of State, Basking in 5ermu

Echo in Shape of Call to

Washington Despite the pressure
of both republican and democratic SEN
ate leaders for prompt action, contro-
versies are-developing within the for
eign relations committee which may
lead to long discussion of the arms
conference treaties before any of them
is brought to the senate floor for ratf-
fication.
Some members of the committee
predicted that the effort to secure a
detailed explanation of the negotia-
lions leading up to the four-power Pa,
cific treaty would in itself become an
element of considerable delay. After.
ward at least four proposed reserva.
tions to this treaty, which is first on
the list, seem likely to come before
the committee before it goes on to the
other seven conference agreements
that await senate approval
The treaty leaders on both sides OF
the chamber are satisfied that the dis.
agreements and delays encountered
will in no way endanger ratification
of any of the treaties, but they are
watching with manifest interest the

MURDER MYSTERY
NOT YET SOLVED
CoPIAH OFFICERS FACE LONG,
HARD TASK-VIcTIM SAID
TO BE ADA DEUER.
NOTHING YET DEVELOPED
Name of New Orleans Girl Mentioned
as Possible Witness-No Direct
Word Received Bearing Out
Theory, However.

Observation-Disclosures of Copiah
county are facing arduous labor IN
| their efforts to positively identity the
charred and mutilated body of wom-
an found last Tuesday in dense woods
near Dentville, although the finding
/ OF keyring in the ashes of the fire
gave rise to the belief that the victim
was possibly Ada Deuer. of Warsa ",
Texas. The metal tag, attached to the
keyring found, bore this name and ad-
dress, but thus far no further evil
dence to support this theory has been
received by the officials. No word has
yet been received from the Texas
town regarding this woman.
Other clews, connecting other WON
en- with the case, have been discov-
cred. However. authorities are at
tempting TO trace several women to
learn if they were still alive.
One theory being worked upon deals
with the same party of magazine
agents-four women and three men
of which Miss Deuer was supposed
to have been member. This theory
is that the murdered woman was not
Miss Deuer, but another member of
the party. This theory, however,
makes it essential that Miss Deuer be
located.
A second theory deals with another
woman, who was seen in this city
in the company of man in Chevro-
let auto about eight days ago. This
couple spent the night in the public
camping grounds here. The man was
apparently about so years of age. and
the couple seemed well supplied with
a camping outfit This man is being
traced. It has been determined that
this man left Hazlehurst by the road
along which the charred and mutilated
body was found.
Still a third theory deals with man
who some time ago attacked a girl At
Canton, Miss. The girl was rescued by
a negro at that time, the negro be-
ing rewarded with a large sum of
money. Copiah authorities now think
that this same man may have been
the one who murdered the unidentified
woman and then sought to burn the
body.
If the murder victim was one Of the
party Of magazine agents. she had a
companion, it was learned here, a Miss
O'Day, of New Orleans. Officers here
were telephoned three weeks ago to
hold Miss O'Day. a member of this
party, for her mother, Mrs. Nelson,
at New Orleans. This the officers
sought to do, but missed apprehendiug
the girl by only a few seconds, it is
said, as she had left Hazlehurst. These
officers went to the local hotel where
the party had been stopping and
learned that none Of them had regis |
tered, merely taking meals there and |
paying for each meal as taken.
