MYSTERY CASE

Cyanide Following AL
cOhOlic Debauch
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, August 2s.-John
II. Sutphen, heir to 100000, found
dead lying On couch Sunday morn
ing, died of cyanide poisoning, an
autopsy showed today. The bowl
of the pipe which he had been
smoking was still warm when his
body was discovered. Guests in his
apartment slept.
The cyanide was slipped into the
stem of his pipe, is the police theory.
They now are attempting to de-
termine whether Sutphen was MUIR
dered, committed suicide or died by
accident.
He maintained two apartments,
is married and the father of two
children, according to police.
Sutphen h~l participated in n
prolonged drinking spree, which
eliminated Saturday night in a
club, friends Informed police. When
he reached his home servants had
to assist him to his apartments.
He then called Ernest A. Dunlea,
a friend, stating that he was very
i'll and asking for assistance. Dun
lea hurried to the scene, could
arouse no one in Sutphen's S apart
ment, and entered with the assist
ance of an employe s pass key.
There he found ,Sutphen lying on
couch dead, fully clad except for
his coat. A tobacco pipe was on
the floor. The bowl was still warm.
Three persons were asleep in other
rooms. They are described by
police as Mr.. and Mrs. Robert C.
Spohn and Mrs. Florence Janesto,
formerly of Buffalo, said to be a
sisted of Mrs. Spohn
When medical examiners arrived
they were told death had been caus-
ed by alcoholism. This version was
accepted until chemical analysis
showed that death had been caused
by cyanide poisoning.
A large and expensive assortment
of liqour was found in Sutphens
apartment, police said. This is be,
ing analyzed. No poison could be
found in the apartment.
Sutphen s mother, who died a
week ago, is said to have left
100000 to her son. He had been
separated from his wife and two
children. The body was identified
by sisters.

DENVER, Colo, August 2S.-
Search for Joe Briendisse, alias
Brindise, wanted for questioning ia
connection with the murder Of Mrs.
Roy McGlone and Miss Emma Vas
covie in the apartment of the
former yesterday afternoon, was
extended today to Welby, Colo,
where he has relatives.
Briendisse is said by the police
to have attacked Mrs. McGlone at
a lakeside dance last Saturday
night, backing her eye on that oc-
casion. He also was suspected last
winter of firing shot which
pierced her hat when she and her
husband were walking through a
park.
Why Miss Vascovie should also
been killed could not be ascertain
ed, although evidence in the room
indicated that she must have been
murdered first, and that two shots
were fired at Mrs. McGlone before
she was struck.
Feared Losing Rival
bTltHulSSc anu 1nl NNlS
said to have been close friends for
ten years prior to her marriage to
McGlone, an athletic instructor in
a local school, She had constantly
attempted to avoid him since her
marriage, friends said, apparently
living in great fear that he might
injure her.
Mrs. McGlone must have made q
desperate fight before being killed,
police believe. One bullet lodged in
the ceiling, indicating that she had
struck the gun hand of her assailant
as he fired Another lodged i'll the
door. The fatal shot appeared to
have been fired after she had been
thrown to the floor.
One shoe of Mrs McGlOne was
covered with blood and it is be-
lieved from this that Miss Vascovie
had first been killed and her com
panon stepped in the blood before
falling. Both women's dresses
were bloodstained and a. rag
soaked in blood lay on one of the
chairs when police arrived.
A rudely scrawled note, apparent
ly in a mans HANDWRITING, and COW
cred with blood was found on the
dresser, bearing the words:
81 kill him because | thout too
much of him.. / want him. l want
him to going me where l go. Good

"She not to. L.
Whether the note was intended
as supposed suicide and murder
indication or was written by a for
eigner to tell why he did the kill
ing, cannot be determined.
McGlone, who was on vacation,
rushed back to Denver when in
formed of his wife s tragic death.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The
outcome of Governor Pinchot s eff
fort to avert the anthracite coal
strike is important, far beyond the
question of getting coal to con
sumers for this winter, though that
at the moment is the overshadow-
ing consideration. 1t is important
far beyond its effect on the polit-
zeal fortunes of either Pinchot or
President Coolidge.
This importance lies in the fact
that Coolidge's action in putting
the strike situation up to Pinchot
may becdYe the first step in n new
national policy, which, broadened
out from this beginning, will
change the whole aspect of Ameri-
can government.
In recent years the whole trend
has been to centralize authority
and responsibility in the federal
government, the President and con
gress.
The war, of course, gave this
trend a tremendous impetus, and
since then there has been wide
spread complaint about it, without
any very effective efforts to
break away from it,
Starts Decentralization
Coolidge, by one stroke has open
ed the way, however, to n sort of
decentralization that, if it succeeds
in the present instance, could very
easily be extended to apply to in

COOLIDGES STRIKE DECISION
FIRST STEP. OF NEW POLICY
State Authority
AgainRecognized

Vulnerable other governmental
problems.
That such decentralization might
incidentally prove one of the most
sagacious political moves of recent
history, is the belief of many com
petent observers.
What Coolidge did in asking Pin
chot to handle the hard coal sit
uation was to localize the problem.
Congress has been asked to legis-
late to make coal and railroad
strikes impossible and it has tried
to legislate, even when it was OBJ
vious t oeverybody in Washington
that the On1y e.-ective means of
federal action would be far too
drastic for the government of re-
public.
In the present situation, for in
stance, it might become necessary
for Pinchot to seize the anthracite
mines in n'the name of the state. In
formation has reached federal au-
thorities here that he will go to
that length if it becomes necessary,
though he realizes the difficulties
such a step would involve.
Benefit of New Policy
But these difficulties would be
infinitely greater and the after
consequences much more prolonged
if the federal government were to
seize the mines. Any seizure of
public resources by government in
wolves the whole question of public
ownership and operation. But if

Alaska's Wealth.

 It is open question whether the Klondike gold discoveries have caused happiness than suffering We may doubt exceedingly whether they have been of any real benefit to the race
 But when President Harding goes to Alaska he will find there growing wealth, whose beneficial value cannot be disputed and which prmoises to be worth infinitely in the end than all the strikes made in the region.
 This wealth has grown up in the last B years. and it consists today of 250,000 reindeer having aggregate value of about $6,250,000. These animals increasing at the rate of 50000 each three years, and it is estimated that the country support per nanently about 4,000, 900 Of them, which according to present values will be worth in the neighborhood of $100 000000. As the animals live treeless plains that too cold for agriculture their main tenance will reduce other of wealth.
 It is not sas romantic and spectacular to herd rein deer is dig gold, which perhaps is the reason why about two thirds of the animals in the pen insua belong to Eskimos and Indians, but real, permanent bonanza, a good herd ought to beat the average gold mine all hollow. And when new meat supply begins be received from the North at first along the Pacific Coast and later in the interior of the country, when Alaskan venison reaches gen erally the tables of the people, wde-awake Americans who are afraid of rough but honest and re- munerative busniess, will be attracted to the country and will insist you sharing with the natives the wealth they acquiring It is than pos sible that the reindeer herds furnish solution of the long-vexed question of Alaskan development.

 Canada furnishes American paper makers with about 20 per cent, of their pulpwood and pulp The shutting off of this supply would many of the paper mills to close Some of them of course, would continue to manufacture other grades of which require a different raw material Others would likely consider moving their mills to points where they would be able to procure supply of pulpwood.
