BRUTAL MURDER
BATTLES POLICE

Jackson, Mich, June 9.-The entire
detective force Of this city, aided by
state constabulary, at noon today
failed to find any trace of the MUIR
derer of Miss Alice Mallett, 2S, social
worker, here.
The body found early today beside
the home of Robert Brockie, bore
outward evidence of criminal assault.
Lying beside it was a blood be-
smirched axe, the weapon with which
Miss Mallett had been killed. The
body was mutilated. The head had
been crushed in and the neck slashed
with the weapon.
Blood found on the sidewalk in
front of the home indicated that the
assault and murder had been COM
mited there on one of the citys prin-
cipal thoroughfares.
Brockie, who discovered the body,
told the police that he had retired
early. None of the family heard any
disturbance during the night.
Several persons who had seen Miss
Mallett at ten o'clock last evening
said she was carrying flowers to the
Florence Crittenden Home for Girls,
of which she was the matron.
These were found scattered near
the scene of the murder. Pieces of
her clothing were also lying in the
street.

TEXAS RAINS To
DELAY HARVEST

Dallas, Texas, June 9.-Heavy
rains throughout north Texas dur
ing the past two weeks have de-
layod the wheat harvest.
Binders and men have been ready
for a fortnight to charge into the
grain fields to start the 1922 har'

Heavy showers have fallen on
nearly every day during the past
two weeks and the wheat crop has
suffered from the water.
Both wheat and oats were said to
be ready to harvest and the loss
may be heavy If the rains continue.
Labor offices throughout the state
are planning to ship harvest hands

To Appeal to President.

(By The United Press.)
Cincinnati, o., June 9.-Drafting
of an appeal to President Harding
to prevent the $l09,O0O,000 wage
cuts recently ordered by the United
States railway labor board being
made effective July 1, was begun
here today by a special committee
representing 100000 shop and
maintenance of way employees of the
railroads.
Suspend the wage reduction un-
til we have had an opportunity to
prove to you and to thee board
their inequity and the disastrous ef-
feet their enforcement Will have up
on the workers." was to be the gist
of the appeal.
Data Being Prepared.
A week will be required in its
preparation, B. M. Jewell, head of
the railroad employees department,
American Federation of Labor, said
today. Statistical experts Of the
railroad unions began preparation to-
day of a detailed analysis of the
wage and cost of living situation.
This will be included in the appeal
to Harding. 1t will show, union Of
ficials said, that the wage reduc-
tion would put the shop crafts and
maintenance of way employees on a
starvation basis"
The decision to appeal to Hard
ing was reached late last night at
an executive meeting Of union lead
ers representing virtually all the
crafts hit by the wage reductions.
Earlier In the week it was decided
to prepare figures showing the ef-
feet of the wage cuts on the living
conditions of the men. Yesterday,
however, the suggestion was made
that the appeal be made to Hard
ing as we'll as to the general public
opinion of the nation.
Believe Power In Harding.
There Is no question of Harding's
power to suspend the operation OF
the labor boards order, union lead
ers said.
The appeal will be carried to
Washington by committee, which
will lay before the president de-
tailed written argument of the
workers case, buttressed with the
experts figures. They will ask him
to hold up the wage cuts and order
a new investigation of the entire
subject of railroad wages by some
governmental agency.
AT last nights meeting a commit
tee on strike program was named,
to prepare for strike If the union
men vote for it, and the appeal to
Harding is unsuccessful.
Announcement from Chicago that
another wage cut, affecting 350,O0O
clerks, signal men, marine depart
ment employees and stationary fire
men, would be ordered next week
by the labor board created no sur
prise among the union leaders here.
An expectation of the broadening OF
the wage cut orders to include these
employees, preparations have already
been made to poll them on the strike
question. The ballots will go for
ward as soon as the wage reduction
order is promulgated by the labor
board.

Chicago. June emerging OF the

president of the Chicago and Alton

Bierd's declaration came following

Amalgamation of the railroads is
suggested by a law recently passed.
Bierd said, which directs the inter
state commerce commission to in

tions to railroads who would be
benefited by consolidation.
Benefit by Economy.
The benefits of mergers, accord
ing to Bierd. would be economy.
more thorough utilization of the rail
road properties and the strengthen
ing of some systems by linking them
to stronger carriers.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has directed Professor Ripley,
of Harvard University to compile
railroad statistics and make recon-
mendations where mergers would be
beneficial, Bierd said
The initial report of Prof. Ripley
has been received by the commits
sion, Bierd announced, and recon-
mends a merger of systems in the
southwest.
AS to Southwest.
With reference to the situation in
the southwest and the rumored mer-
ger of the Chicago and Alton and
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
Bierd said:
ut is well known fact that the
Chicago and Alton connects with
the three central west points most
vital to transportation-Chicago st.
Louis. and Kansas City.
"The rumored merger has been
suggested as a means to connect the
Katy system with Chicago. Such
consolidation would provide Chicago
with direct lines to the southwest,
including all points in Oklahoma and
Texas and possibly would be highly
beneficial to both system.
"The law suggesting consolidation
of carriers is not compulsory, how
ever. 1t merely directs the inter-
state commerce commission to make
investigations and to recommend to
the railroads where mergers would
be beneficial" he concluded.

GETS $3.50 fine FOR MAKING
Wine; and PLEADS GUILTY

Frank Nitin1al was fined the sum OF
$3.50 and costs in the court of Justice
NJ. Z. Corson yesterday.
Costs in his case amounted to $131.50

Nitinjal pleaded guilty to having in
his possession an unreasonable amount
of intoxicating liquor, the same being
the several truck loads of grape wine
which now rests in the vaults of the
county court house Easements
Failing to scrape that amount of
money together up to last evening he
was taken back to the county Jail in
default thereof.
Twenty-six barrels of wine, instead
of IA, was the amount that Sheriff
Thomas and Deputy Sheriff Delliqua
dri found in the cellar at 2215 East
Evans avenue, the same being in
charge of and admittedly owned by
Frank Nitinjal. In their hurried count
Tuesday evening they made it "a, but
when they came to roll the barrels out
and load them on trucks, they found
the number to be 26: all but one was
full. 1t partly so.
In total there is about 1852 GALLONS
OF wine; at the rate Nitinjal was said
to be selling it-s6 a gallon-the value
of the wet goods seized by the sheriff
would be about sS,112.
