HEADLESS AND
LEGLESS BODY
OF LADY FOUND
Police Seek Motive for Killing
-Bcdy Identified by
BrOther.in.law

Media, Pa. Jan. 22.-(R-Sa Satisfied
that the headless and legless body OF
woman found in a clump of trees is
that of Miss Anna May Dietrich, OF
Norwood. Pa, police today directed
their efforts, in Il search for the miss.
ing head and towards establishing q
motive.
Several hours after the torso was
found yesterday, Alexander L.
Schulz, Philadelphia manager for the
Independent Tool company, told the
police that the clothing found or
the dismembered body was that worn
by his sister in law. Miss Dietrich
who was "a years old. was employed
by Philadclphia publishing com.
pany.
Went Shopping Tuesday
Schulz said Miss Dietrich went
shopping in Philadelphia Tucsda,
with her sister Mrs. Schulz, the pail
separating shortly before 6 D. m
Miss Dietrich had not been seen by
either since.
An autopsy failed to establish the
primary cause of death. A coroner's
jury physician expressed the belief,
however. that the woman had been
murdered.
The manner in which the legs and
head had been. severed led the police
20 believe that someone implicated in
the affair was adept in surgery.
Schulz was unable to suggest why
his sister-in-law should have been
slain.

SESSIONS LENGTHENED

Washington. Jan. 2o.-LF)-- The
senate settled down today to AN en-
durance test involving the fortunes
Of the world court issue and the tax
reduction bill.
vita Il scven-hour session schedul-
cd today and longer hours in pros
pect for succeeding days, advocates
of American adhesion to the court
waited and hoped that its opponents
would talk themselves out and per-
nit vote, thus bringing up the tax
measure.
Anticourt forces, on the other
hand, assembled more argument ma
telial, hoping to force the court ad-
vOcates to call quits and agree to
first dispose of the revenue bill.
Cannot Reach Compromise
Both factions desire early action
on the tax measure but proponents
Of the tribunal are unwilling to give
it priority on the calendar at the
expense Of indefinite delay in reach
ing decision on the protocol, as de-
sired by court opponents.
Administration leaders arranged
for today's long session after the
rival camp failed to agree on dates
on which votes on the two measures
would be taken. Court advocates
said they were willing to handle the
tax bill first if Il definite subsequent
date could be set for the court vote,
but the opponents held out for in
definite delay in settling that issue.
Beginning the wearing-ou pro-
cess was left today to Senator Reed,
Democrat, Missouri, and Senator Nye,
Republican, North Dakota. Senator
Reed had not finished his address
when recess was taken yesterday and
the North Dakota senator was ready
with his maiden speech. Other OPP

readiness to carry on the argument.

TWO CENT GAS
TAX ASKED0F
NEXT SESSION
County Commissioners Pass
Resolution After Hearing
Frahm'S Talk

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 22.-(R-Thc
1927 state Legislature will be asked
to pass law authorizing an increase
IN the state gasoline tax of one cent
per gallon and for other legislation
tending to help county commission
ers in their duties, it was decided
when resolutions recommending that
legislation were adopted at the clos
ing session Of the 10Th annual coun-
ty commissioners association con-
ventiOn here yesterday.
In adopting the gas tax resolution,
an argument was staged by many OF
the commissioners, several desiring
to have the resolution recommend
an increase of two cents. Finally
however, the resoluation was adopt-
ed in its original form, recommend
ing that the state tax on all gasoline,
except that used for farm purposes.
be increased from one cent to two
cents per gallon.
The resolution was the result of
an address before the convention by
H. c. Frahm, chief engineer of the
state highway commission, in which
the commissioners learned that the
funds in the highway department at
the present time are insufficient ia
provide durable roads.
Poor Farms Expensive
In discussion this morning it
was pointed out that maintenance Of
county poor farm has lien an ex-
pensivc proposition in each Of sew
eral counties and that it would be
cheaper and more convenient for two
or more counties to cooperate in
maintaining one poor farm for the
residents Of the several counties. A
motion to ask the 1897 legislature
for law giving two or more coun-
ties permission tu establish such q
joint poor farm was passed.
In another resolution adopted, It
was decided to recommend to the
legislature that that body discon-
tinue to provide new laws for the
purpose of dividing delinquent taxes
and interest on them with subdivi-
sions Of the various counties and
that the legislature enact legislation
allowing the money to be placed in
the general county funds.

1T has been necessary to spcnd
considerable time cleaning un the
campaign for 1926 members" Mr..
Stern declared. "but now that this
has been completed, it has been pos
sible to devote time to perfccting
the organization. Our county meet
ings were held last week to select the
50 members Of the state board of
county chairmcn who will share in
the responsibility of directing the
association and select the state board
of directors. The state board of di-
rcct0rs will meet some time next
month";. and in the meantime commit
tees will work out reports on var
ious phases of the associations ac-
tivities. 1t is altogether likely that
the first work of the new directors
will be to launch the advertising
campaign. Copy and schedules for
the first series Of advertisements are
now being prepared for the consider
alton Of the new board"

effort would be made in the first
