Ministerial Crisis
In Germany Still
Far From Settled

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-Nearly a week
has passed since the cabinet of Chan
cellor Wirth resigned, and the minis
terial crisis is considered to be still
far from settled. When Herr Cuno
accepted the task of constituting a
new cabinet of work, as he described
1t, it was hoped he would have all the
portfolios, or at least the most import
ant, filled today, but such difficulties
have developed that it is believed
likely he may even abandon the eff
fort altogether.
The chancellor-designate finds him
self baked in his plans to secure a
cabinet made up of the middle and
Socialist parties, as the Socialists, op-
posed to what they term Herr Cuno's
'freehand" policy, have voted through
the United Socialists executive party
to abstain from taking any ministerial
portfolios. They base their attitude to
some extent on the party's opposition
to the industrialist party, feeling that
should the Socialists accept cabinet
posts they would be forced to have
dealings with the industrialists.
As an alternative to giving up his
efforts Herr Cuno may form q cabi
net having a non-partisan complexion
thereby hoping 70 gain some support
from the middle parties and possibly
from the nationalists. Even this, how.
ever, would cause him trouble, as he
would still have to contend with the
antagonism of almost two hundred so
cialistic and communistic deputies.

INDICTMENT OF CLARK,
INSANE SLAYER, WILL
BE ASKED OF JURY
fRy United Press)

HUNTINGTON, Ind, Nov. 20.-In-
dictment of Thomas Clark. insane
slayer of his wife and son. will be
asked of the special grand jury called
for Wednesday TO investigate the
double murder.
81 am convinced Mr. Clark still had
sufficient possession of his faculties
to know what he was doing, Prose
eutor Charles Haller said.
"His mentality seems to be suffi-
ciently clear even at this time, to re-
call all of the incidents. can not say
that he could be regarded as an insane
person to the extent that he is not
answerable for his acts.
81 feel that it is my duty to take
this before the grand jury the Same
as any other murder"
HaIler interviewed Clark in the ieil
at Bluffton and was told how the man
crushed his wife's skull with club
when she tried to force him to scrub
the basement floor. He and his wife
were estranged, Clark said, because
of her familiarity with Cap" Bell, a
stockbuyer. Clark said he killed the
boy because he watched the murder
of Mrs. Clark.

FIND BODY OF MISSING
OHIO cLUDWOMAN
~ United Pressl

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 20.-The mys-
terious disappearance of Mrs. E. G.
Kimball. 48, prominent clubwoman and
musician, was cleared today with the
finding of her body in the Cuyahoga
river.
She left home 12 days ago. A few
days later her hat was found on a
railroad bridge. Her body, however,
was found up stream from the bridge.
Patrolman Tom Watson recovered
the body, which had caught on a rock
ledge jutting out from the shore on
the Cuyahoga Falls side of the stream.
1t is thought Mrs Kimball either
jumped or fell into. the river from a
path leading up stream from the
bridge. She had been in poor health
for several months.

LOUISIANA CAPABLE
OF HANDLING SECRET
SOCIETY SITUATIONS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The state
authorities of Louisiana appear at this
time to be fully capable of handling
any situation within their Jurisdiction,
growing out of activities of secret or
ganizations or other agencies, it was
declared in a statement issued at the
White House today after a conference
on the subject between President
Harding, Attorney General Daugherty,
Governor Parker, of Louisiana and At
torney General Coco, of that state.
In view of the sufficiency of the
state authority, the White House
statement said:
There is nothing at this time for the
federal government to do except to
give assurance to state authorities,
that whenever federal interests are In
volved the federal authorities are ready
to extend full cooperation.
1t was learned on reliable authority
that the southern governor believed
the Ku Klux Klan has gained control
of civil affairs in certain counties OF
the state and desired the assistance OF
the federal government in combating
what he regarded as a menace to his
commonwealth.

1Rv Associated Pressl

LONDON, Nov. 20.-A parliament In
which Ireland, with the exception of
part of Ulster, is rot represented and
in which the Lab1r party appears as
the chief contender for recognition as
the opposition, opened this afternoon
For a moment the clerk assumed
charge of the proceedings but instead
of speaking he merely pointed a finger
at T. P. O'Connor, Father of the
House." who promptly proposed John
Henry Whitley for reelection as
speaker. When this choice had been
confirmed the house adjourned to re-
ceive the kings formal assent to its
choice of speaker.
The Times parliamentary cores

not concede the Laborites' claim to
recognition as the opposition party.
The writer expects that compromise
will be effected.
The Daily Herald, Labor's official
paper, gays: ''If the speaker should
Immediately concede the Labor party's
clear title to the position of official
opposition by calling upon its leader

then the labor party should immedi-

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20.-Lost,
strayed or stolen somewhere in the
Pacific ocean, one earthquake and one
tidal wave
Over the high seas and through the
ether, phantom messages telling of an
earthquake and tidal wave at Hilo, in
land of Hawaii, were bruited about the
world for an hour or more last night,
causing excitement in newspaper and
radio officers, and sending reporters
scurrying in search of seismographs
and their keepers. The rumoY struck
Callao, Chile, and trickled up the
cables to New York The San Diego
navy radio station picked it up. A
newspaper wireless set in San Fran
cisco caught the message at the same
time. In fact, within few minutes,
everybody knew about the earthquake
except Hawaii
Honolulu expressed surprise Urg-
ent cablegrams and radio flew between
Hawaii and the mainland Radio oper.
ators tired vainly to reach Hilo. That
station, with which there is no regular
communication on Sunday remained

Then near midnight, a station here
overheard a commercial wireless op-
orator in Honolulu telling a ship In
those waters about the report, and
adding the information that he had
been in communication with Hilo an
hour and 20 minutes later than the
report had been picked up on the
mainland, and that Hilo had said
everything there was all right.
So somewhere in space roam the un.
captured vibrations of a purported

So wrote BENJAMIN G. Price in a
letter to his brother. Frank Price. a
few minutes before he killed himself
in his office in the Colonial building
last Tuesday.
Letters were mailed to his widow
and his two brotners the same after
noon. A portion of the letter to his
brother with the latter's comment
that it might prove warning to

No trace of $500 which Mr.. Price
withdrew from a bank, it Is said,
shortly before he committed suicide,
has been found, although it is believed
that he bet it on a. race. He had re-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-With the
convening of the sixty-seventh con-
gress in special session at noon today,
one precedent at least in American
history is broken while it remains for
events tomorrow to determine
whether another will be smashed
The extra session, called by Presi-
dent Harding primarily to consider
the administration ship subsidy bill.
with the regular session to follow Inn
mediately after. insures record total
of four sessions for this congress, in
cluding the special session called in
having had more than three, and it
may have the further distinction of
including the first woman member to
be seated in the United States senate
The senate was in session only 13
minutes, adjourning without giving an
opportunity to Mrs. w. H. FELTON, of
Georgia or any other new senators to
take the oath of office.
Usual Formaiities
In both senate and house the gavel
beginning the new sessions few min
utes after IL o'clock and then in both
chambers there followed the usual
formalities which attend the turning
over of a new page in congressional
| history.
The program on both sides was so
arranged as to permit an adjournment
after these ceremonies until tomor
row as mark of respect for the late
| Senator Watson of Georgia and the
late Representative Nolan Of Califor-
mia
In the house the business of getting
under way after recess took consid-
erably more time, but the leaders de-
| ferred any actual consideration of
| legislation until after the presidents
address tomorrow. There was tho
usual first day harvest of new bills
and resolutions, all of which promptly
went to committee, and the opening
session also was attended by the usual
noisy outburst from the gallery TO
new and returning members
Senators cheered.
Just before the senate convened in
/ the hubbub of congratulations and
hand shaking, there was applause
when Senatorelect Bayard, Democrat,
entered the chamber. There was an
other sa1vo when Senator Lodge, Of
Massachusetts, veteran Republican
leader, who was reelected, and an
other for Senator LaFollette, Republi-
can. Wisconsin Vice President Cool
idge was compelled to order the ap-
plause stopped. Sixty-one senators
responded to roll call. In addition to
Mrs. FELTON,, several other new sena-
tors were present to be sworn in.
They included Senator-elect Bayard,
Democrat, Delaware; George, Demo
crat, Georgia, and Brookhart, Demo
