THREE CITIES POLICE
SEEK BODY'S IDENTITY
Vaudeville Performer Turns Up in
New York to Deny That
Corpse Is He.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 25.-Police Of Chi
cago, Cleveland and New York are en-
deavoring to identify the body of
man, sent Tuesday to New York by
Charles Peterson, chief petty officer
at the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station, who thought it was his
brother Herman. since found here
alive and well.
Last Sunday Charles Peterson was
notified by telephone from Cleveland
that his brother Herman was dead
and the body was being sent to Chi
cago. When the coffin arrived here
he reconsigned 1t to his parents in
New York, where it arrived yester-
day.
The relatives were about to remove
it from the station when a young
woman, cousin Of the supposedly dead
Herman, te1ephoned hotel here
where Herman and a vaudeville partner
were registered to inquire regarding the
manner of Herman's death. Herman
himself answered the call.
One theory Of police working on
the mystery is that the body is that
of a highwayman, who held up Her,
man several months ago in Cleveland
and took from him a letter written to
him by his brother at the Naval
Training Station. They believe that
the body was enormously identified
through the stolen letter.

ALLIES TO INVITE
GERMANS MONDAY,
EXPECTATION NOW
,Continued from First Page)

fCOnf inueU from flTSt IdSt.b
is clearly that stated in an inspired
article in his organ, Die Zelt, when
puts the question of the invitation to
Germany, points to the dlmculty IN
the conference and says:
1T is absolutely essential that an
agreement with Germany should be
made on the basis of negotiations
which would make possible the rep
resentation of our wishes.
This issue becomes particularly
sharp since German Nationalists on
Wednesday put IAN invitation to
Germany to participate in the Lon
don conference on equal basis with
other powers" as the first point in a
new statement of the basis upon
which they are willing to accept the
Dawes report. In all other particu-
lars this platform practically coin
cides with the German goVernment
reiterated Interpretation of what the
Dawes report means.
Given. therefore, settlement of
the invitation question. the outlook
for winning Nationalist votes for the
necessary laws is better than for
merly, but on the invitation question
all negotiations with the Nationalists
may founder. and with negotiations,
the government.
Social Democrats Alert.
Social Democrats, in case the form
of the invitation puts the government
in an embarrassing position, would
undoubtedly take advantage of the
situation and force a vote of conf
dence. They believe that new cleo
tions on the clear-cut issues of the
Dawes report, the eight-hour day
and protection would return the Left
parties more heavily.
The government has made conces-
sions to the junkers in granting them
agricultural protection in an effort
to win them to more moderate at
titude on the Dawes report. The
Socialists believe this gives an ex-
CeIlent handle for the election CAM
paien. on the csSt of living issue.
