SCIENCE ONLY HOPE
IN FURNACE CRIME
Police Without Clue in Baf-
fling Murder of Min.
ister's Wife.
BY Consolida ted Press.


COLUMBUS. Ohio, November 24.-
IL there is to be a solution of what
appears to be the perfect murder
in the destruction of a blazing fur
mace pyre of Mrs. Addie Sheatsley
wife : of the pastor of exclusive
Christ Lutheran Church at Bexley,
science will claim the credit.
The formula of old Sherlock
Holmes detective methods broke
down completely under the battling
mysterious killing. Chemistry es-
tablished the fact of murder Path
ology, working with the charred re-
mains of the minister's wife, is
counted on to confirm the means
used in commission of the crime
Phychiatrists may then be called to
determine whether there is a mental
complex in any of those questioned
which could suggest a tendency to-

Only Hope in Science.
Unless this cycle of scientific analy-

and it's cause, the killing of Mrs
Sheatsley will remain among the
most unsolvable of mysteries. Ap-
parently without motive, it has left
nothing tangible behind upon which
to base arrests. The investigation

hit a stone wall, with only the possi-
bility of confession remaining to
bolster a case about to fall except
for the support that scientists are
affording.
The killing left fashionable Bexley
cold to some attempts to get to the
bottom Of the crime, but the action
of the Lutheran congregation in de-
manding that every effort be made
to bring to justice anyone resonsible
for the crime is causing the inquisi-

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Plans are maturing for a great
farewell demonstration at Washing
ton in honor of Jules Jusserand. the
French Ambassador, who will retire
in January, after % consecutive years
service here. While designed, at
present, to be essentially a tribute
from Washingtonians, among whom
the veteran diplomat has spent
nearly a quarter of a century. Federal
disnitaries, and perhaps representa-
tives of all the States in the Union.
Will participate in it.
Distinguished representatives of
the Department of State, the Supreme
Court, the Congress, local universi-
ties, scientific institutions, patriotic
societies, business organizations and
other activities have already pledged
thelr support. Chief Justice Taft,
Secretaries Hughes and Hoover and
Senator-elect Gillett are among them.
The project has been informally
preached to Ambassador Jusserand
Explaining that American friends
throughout the country have shower
ed him with farewell invitations, he
voices a preference that anything
Washington cares to do should be of
united. representative nature. Along
those lines arrangements are now in
the making.

CAIRO, Egypt. November 24.-Lord
Allenby. the British high commits
sioner, at noon today informed the
Egyptian premier, Zagloul-Pasha,
that instructions had been given for
British forces to occupy the Alex
andria customs. This, he, said, was
the first measure to be taken in con-
sequence of Egypt's non-acceptance
of all the British demands following
the assassination of Sir Lee Stack,
the sirdar.
The Egyptian cabinet, headed by
Zagloul Pasha, rendered its resigna-
tion today to King Fuad. who ac-
cepted it.
The King summoned Ziwar Pasha,
president of the Senate, who con-
sented to form a cabinet.
1t was learned last night that
Niscount Allenby has received full
instructions from the London govern
ment, with powers to act in any way
he may think advisable.
The indemnity of 100000 demand
ed by the British for the death of
the sirdar was paid by the Egyptian
government at 11:45 o'clock this
morning.
Protest Demands.
The payment was accompanied by
note protesting against the British
demands for evacuation of the Sudan
by Egyptian troops and for the with
drawal of all opposition to the wishes
of the British government concern
ing the protection of foreign interests
in Egypt, which demands the note
characterized as unjustifable.
Cairo today wore generally
peaceful, if somewhat excited, aspect.
There was a small demonstration in
Abdin Square, but it was easily dis
persed by the police.
The students at a large meeting
last night decided to await instruc-
tions from a proper quarter. Mean
while they will continue their strike,
but remain in their homes.
The newspaper AlsiaSsah advocates
an appeal to the League of Nations
on Great Britain's demands, declaring
that although Egypt is not a member
OF the league, 1t is sufficient that Great
Britain belongs.
Alexandria has been more than
once the focal point of Egyptian
troubles with the outside world. The

and further rioting and massacres

Sir Auckland Geddes, formerly
ambassador to the United States
was forced to abandoned his address
at a Tory meeting at Hume when
wild, disorders broke out.
Tables and chairs were overturned
and a free-for-all fight took the
place Of political speeches after Sir
Robert Horne had been howled
down at Glasgow. In fight at a
meeting at Lambeth, an usher was
sIashed with razor and was taken
to hospital in critical condition.
