ALIENIST CALLED
IN FURNACE PROBE
Sheatsley Death Will Be Solved,
Says Prosecutor
tBy Associated Press. J

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 22-Admis-
Sheatsley, so years old, whose body.
practically cremated, was found by her
husband, the Rev. c. V. Sheatsley, in
the furnace of their home Monday, still
presents a battling mystery, was made
today by County Prosecutor John K.
King. He expressed confidence, how
ever, that the case eventually will be
solved.
The admission was made following a
conference at which Mr.. King reviewed
the case with those who are working
with him in the attempt to establish
definitely how Mrs. Sheatsley came to
her death and how her body came to
be in the furnace. DIR. X. G. Tarbell,
an alienist, was present at the confer
rnce. The prosecutor said no signifi,
canoe could be- attached to his presence
ana that he wanted an alienist to be
familiar with details Of the case.
The investigation dragged today. Mr.,
King said he was awaiting the complete
report of Chemist &. +. Long, who
last midnight reported that his analysis
of blood taken from the lungs of the
victim proved to him conclusively that
she was dead when her body entered
the furnace. No trace of carbon
monuxide poisoning was found in the
blood, he said, explaining that had she
breathed after she entered the fire
bowl, her lungs would have become
filled with the poisonous fumes and the
blood would have quickly absorbed it.
Intense congestion found in the lungs,
lie said, points to either strangulatioE

SHUTS IS DEFEATED.

The government of General Jan Christian Shuts of South Africa has been overturned. Shuts had been a towering figure in the peace confer ence and was the last of the promi- nent governmental heads connected with the Versailles gathering to go down in defeat.
 Shuts was defeated by National ist-Labor alliance, the former a party which advocates separation from the British empire.
 smuts was . more notable foreign figure than he was at home. His thoughts on international and empire problems brought him worldwide fame, He was regarded as one of the prime movers of the league of na- tions and was said 10 have written the covenant which Wilson brought back from Europe with enthusiasm.
 At the peace conference Shuts was utilized by Lloyd-George to ob- tain the consent of President Wilson to the inclusion of pensions and war allowances in the reparations bill, which inflated separations to such an extent that there has been trouble and disa rreemcnt about them ever since. On his return to South Africa smnts became a harsh critic of the reparstions bill and was put in an embarrassing position when it was shown that he himself had helped to inhste it. This helped to undermine confidence In him, hls political enc mics making much Of his predica- ment
 The Boer leaders who have busted him think in terms of old South Afri- can unity and a dash of independence. The British empire will likely face sn- other batch of trouble ss the result of shuts defeat.

CAPPER, THE BONUS, AND
 MIEaN

Senator Arthur capper of Kansas whom political opponents in his state gre attempting to put on the defen- sivs because he voted for the bonus over the presidents veto is making A sterling defense Of his action and Is quoting republican statements to back him up.
 At first. inc senator says. the coun- try was told a bonus could not be paid the war veterans because Of in- sufficient revenue. but at the end Of the fiscal year it was found that all governmental charges were paid, the war debt had been decreased and the treasury showed a surplus Of i30o,- ooo. 900.
 Then, the senator continues, arose The demand for tax reduction. and it was claimed the nation could have tax reduction only by again denying the bonus 10 the sx-soldier. The senator adds that he maintained st the time that the country could enjoy reduc- tion in taNes and pay a bonus.
 Then the senator quotes Senator smoot of Jtah. an opponent of inc bonus but an acknowledged authority upon American finances and govern mental policies. The Utahian is quoted as saying inc country could reduce tates. meet all government expenses Tor ths next fiscal year ibeiuBing soidiers' bonus, aud s'iH permit treasury surplus.
 Senator Capper is willing fo rely upon the diagnosis of Senator sfnoo'. The latter. ss chairman or tHs senate finance committee has st bis com- rnsnd all treasury facts and data and all information on taxes and govern nnsnt finances obtaInsd bg ths senate finance communities and the nsys and means committee Of the house.

monopoly, but didn't foresee the de- velopment of the motor truck. Why shouldn't motor trucking succeed when all it has to compete against is the New Haven?
 New England pride has so far not taken kindly to the idea of strong trunk lines getting control of the New Haven or Boston and Maine. The fact is that the other major line of New England-the Boston and Albany which is controlled and operated by the New York Central, is giving good service and is everything that a first class railroad should be. At the time it went into the hands of the New York Central. New Englanders feared not much attention would be given to the interests of this section. The re- verse has been the case. The two roads which harm the section most are the New Haven and the Boston and Maine.
 It should be stressed that New England management Of railroads is not entirely bad. however. as the short lines m Maine. New Hampshire and Vermont are serving their sections properly and apparently do not re- gard the public as so much cattle to be dumped into il-kept coaches.
 What the public likes about rail- road is cleanliness. as well as good schedules and speed. That is one reason why the Pennsylvania is so well thought of in the east. One can travel anywhere on the Pennsylvania, whether it is on the main line or on branch, and find clean, washed, painted and polished coaches, the windows clean; well-kept stations and a finely kept-up roadbed. The red coaches-paintcd red because the company is not afraid of color on which dirt shows easily" as dirt is not allowed to accnmulate-are sym bols of order and efficiency.
 There are other lines, of course. where the same efficiency prevails. Tho Chicago and Northwestern and the Milwaukee line, both with yellow coaches, know how 10 keep them looking clean,
 1T the New Haven had yellow coaches an occasional new one would be a yellow novelty and the remainder would he as black as the river styx. Or if the road had rod coaches they would look just as soot-encrusted and dismal as they do now.
