CHEMISTS REPORTS
 AWAITED N DEATH
Findings Expected In Sheatsley
 Furnace Case Today

COLUMBUS, Dec 1-Whether the death of Mrs. Addie Sheatsley, the Lutheran pastors wife, whose body was found in the parsonage furnace, goes down in history as an unusual suicide or as the perfect crime probably de- bends on the nature of the reports of the pathologst and chemist who have been examining the victims charled remains. These are expected Tuesday.
 If science concludes. as preliminary reports indicate, that Mrs Sheatsley was dead when her body entered the parsonage furnace, then the mystery will be recorded as a perfect crime" If the reports indicate she died upon the furance pyre, then the conclusion that she took her own life is virtually unacceptable.
 But in either event authorities who have exhausted every clue and theory in an attempt to solve the parsonage mys- tery will be no nearer their goal than two weeks ago Monday night when the Rev. c. V. Sheatsley was confronted by the ghastly sight of his wife's body smouldering in the furnace firebox. It is now beyond the domain of science to aid materially in the investigation which has come to dead halt awaiting the scientific reports.

inee of the Workers party, gave the
first of three scheduled Minnesota
addresses in Minneapolis last night.
Speaking before crowd in local
park, Foster asserted "the DemOc-

government in Russia as ian ideal
workers. government" declaring
that "the Soviet system is the next
step in the social evolution of Am
erica"
He characterized Senator Robert
M. LaFollette's presidential candi-
dacy as catering to the "small capi-
talists--the small businessmen, mer-
chants and some farmers" and as
serted that "when the workers be-
come more powerful in this country
LaFollette, Gompers and the small
capitalists will rise with the big
capitalists to squelch u.s."

fense day as "mobilization day." as

parties are advancing as the main
issues of the campaign, such things
as the tariff, the Klan and the world
court we are putting our finger on
the source of trouble. That is the
cancer on society and we propose to
remove that cancer by a surgical
operation and that operation will be
