located about three months ago, but
detectives admitted that they lacked

dress or acquaintances In that city.
While detectives declared that any
motive advanced at this stage of the
investigation would be mere conjec-

BERLIN, October 6.-Piainly ex-
hibiting signs of physical exhaustion
wrought by FIVE days OF politlcal
parley and barter, and. incidentally
betraying nervousness. born OF ap-
prehension of what the immediate
future holds in store for his resur-
rected coalition government, Chan
celIor Stresemann this afternoon sub
mitted to the reichstag n literally
improvised statement of the internal
and foreign situation. The familiar
optimism, which ordinarily Is an en-
gaging feature Of the Chancellor's
political utterances was wholly lack
ing today, and its abseace may be
taken as symptomatic Of the atmos-
phere of political languor which
greeted the return to the government
bench of his laboriously reassembled
coalition ministry.
While a majority of the members
OF the former cabinet return to their
old posts. the chancellor up to the
time the reichstag session was book
ed to open was still short a finance
minister. for which post he sought
the services OF DR.. Schacht. a we'll
known Berlin banker. who finally de-
clined. DR.. Hans Luther was then
transferred from the food ministry
to the position vacated by DR.. Hill
terding, who was j.tSisoned by the
socialists in the course OF yester-
days political bartering.

economics, Is something Of a novelty
in the cabinet. He achieved fame
as q practical expert in wartime
economies and was an important aid

tation Of being a type t7of efficient
but blunt, bureaucratic executive.
He was a major Of axtiIlezy tn the

Chancellor stresernanfi's speech was
mainly q cursory review OF events
since the abandonment of passive re-
sistance. and he frankly discussed the
crisis OF the past week. He made
no precise allusion to the resurrected
four party governments immediate
program or the extent to which he
proposed to apply the authorization
law for which he has been seeking
parliament's approval
At the conclusion. his speech. which.
apparently, proved a severe physical
strain on the chancellor, the reichstag
voted to adjourn until Monday. when
all the parties Will" announce their
Individual attitude on the govern
ment's proposed semi-dictatorial
measures The conspicuously artifi-,
ciaI termination of the past weeks
crisis leaves the parliamentary situa-
ton in a complete state Of uncertain
