GORILLA MANI NAY

Police Have No Clue in Chicaeo
 Murder Mystery

Chicago. March 2 (UP)-Poest. bility that the gorilla man" strangler-who has killed lS DOT. sons in the northwest and middle west - may be involved in the mysterious murder of Mrs. Mabel Wood was considered by police to- day.
 The young woman. c bride Of four months. was found dead in | bath tub at her hotel yesterday. Her body, disrobed. was submerged In If inches of water.
 Coroner's authorities determined she had been strangled and not drowned. as there was no water in the lungs. Heavy marks about her throat indicated she had been strangled
 Immediately after tho woman's body was found. police placed her husband, Carl. and two other men, Homer Cameron and Delbert Prevo, under technical arrest. They were released when police said there was little information against them.
 An inquest was continued yester- day to March 10. Both Cameron and Prevo were able to give perfect accounting of their where abouts on the night of the murder,
 The mystery centered on the fact the young woman's body was nude when found. None of her clothing was found in the bath room and her apartment was more than 30 feet from the bath room.
 Testimony at the coroner's in. quest developed that both Prevo and Cameron had been drinking in a room adjoining Mrs. Woods the afternoon before the body was found. They. however. denied hav- ing been with the young bride.
 The strangler murderer, who police believe may be involved in this case, has been sought for more than one and one-half years. His last activities were reported from Kansas City Mo.

Amsterdam, Holland, March 2 1~ - Short skirts and shingled hair have come under the official ban of the fundamentalists of the Dutch Reformed churhc.
 For some time various local church authorities have been re- tusing to marry women who yielded to extremes of modern fashions and Dr. G. II. kerstcn. leading funda- mentallst pastor and member Of the Dutch parliament, was asked to give his considered judgment on the action of these church coun cils. Alter a vigorous indictment of the general immoral tendencies" Of the present day. Dr. kersten says in the official organ of the Dutch Reformed churches that in his opinion church authorities are entirely justified in refusing to ad init to confirmation or to any of the holy sacraments women who by their attire and appearance show they are not yet ready "to forsake the world and the lusts Of the flesh"

 In addition to it's other work, the house voted sS.300,000 to build itself a new office building annex.
 At a night caucus, house demo- crats nominated Representative Fin. IS J. Garrett, of Tennesse, as the party candidate for speaker in the next congress. Since republicans who have nominated Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio, for an- other term as speaker. will have a clear majority next December, it was provided that upon defeat, Gar rett would automatically succeed himself as minority floor leader.

SEE LITTLE HOPE
Paris Press Doubts That Coolidce's s Arms Limitation Plan Can Suc- cecd-Diplomats Agree.

Paris. March (UP) -- Presi- dent Coolidge's hope for a three- power naval limitation conference if Italy and France persist in their refusal to participate in q five power barley has little chance of being realized, the Paris press and many well informed diplomats said today.
 Britain is unlikely to agree to restriction of destroyers. subma- rines and cruisers if France re- fuses even to discuss limitation of submarines, it was pointed out. Japan also is opposed to extending the 5-5-3 capital ship ratio to aux Hilary ships unless France and Italy join in the agreement, it was said.
 The newspaper Ie Temps, after saying the chances of success at the proposed conference are mediocre. added "Amcrica's first error consisted in seeking to solve the problem of naval disarmament Independently of land disarma- mcnt."

KIDNAPPED FRENCH
FanatlcaI Tribesman Re-
fuses to Give Up Four
of Family.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS, October 25.-A dispatch to
lie Matin from Rabat, Morocco, says
that further and more formidable
obstacles have arisen to the liberation
of the kidnapped members Of Resident
Gen. Steeg's household.
1t Is now feared that they have
been captured by Marabout 81 Hocien
Ou Temga, who dominates the region
near the Atlas Mountains. In this
case their release would become a
political question and not one Of a
monetary ransom.
Temga, who is fanatical old man,
declines to negotiate, the correspond
ent reports, and he has already put
to- death two members of his family
who talked with French political Off
GERS. 1t would be most difficult to
come to an agreement with him, for
he prefers to keep the four persons
as hostages so that he may be assured
that the French will take no action
against him.
The members Of the party kidnapped
were Yves Steeg, nephew of the resi-
dent general; Jan Maillet, relative
by marriage; Nine. Marie de Prokorcv,
young Viennese, and her mother,
! Baroness de Steinheil.
Temga has also succeeded in getting
possession of two little girls of the
Arnaud family. They were carried off
by tribesmen who murdered three
members of the family several weeks
ago. All efforts to induce Temga to
give them up have failed.
