ROGERS MYSTERY
 BATTLES POLICE
Pretty Louisville Woman Dis. appears From Her Apartment

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 2s M-The Rogers case-a mystery in which Mrs. Ella McDowell Rosers, pretty young widow. vanished from her apartment in the fashiona ble Cherokee Park residential section on tho night of October 7-contin- ued to baffle police today as detec- tives resumed an investigation which has been under way for weeks.
 Officers who have exhausted themselves in investigating . mul- titude of rumors and reports, are awaiting the result of a chemical ex- animation of chalky substance scraped up in the furnace pipe lead ing to Mrs. Rogers apartment. Inves- tigators think this substance may be the remains of incinerated bone.
 Thought Slain
 In further support of the belief that Mrs. Rogers was slain and her body disposed of in the apartment, officers have delivered two furnace grate bars and a wrench, found in the basement of the apartment, to a chemist. The bars and wrench bear marks. The chemist has been asked If they are blood stains.
 A report current recently that Mrs. Rogers had ended her life be- cause of a reported arrangement with Hal Harmed, banker of Dawson Springs. Ky. was strongly denied yesterday by the latter. Harmed. an old friend of Mrs. Rogers and her family, is the last known person to have seen Mrs. Rogers before her disappearance.
 Lights Failed
 Harmed called at Mrs. Rogers apartment on the night of her dis appearance. While preparing to leave. Harmed said the lights in the apartment suddenly failed. Harmed said he offered to investigate wheth- CT a fuse had been blown. but Mrs. Rogers dismissed him after declar- ing she would attend to the adjust ment herself.
 Police have found no one who has seen the young widow aince Harmed left. although | taxicab dri- yer reported having driven a woman answering her general description to the Union railway station.~ about the time of her reported disappearance. The chauffeur, who was not certain as to the exact date. said the wom- an appeared highly nervous and worried" and read two letters while en route to the station. The chauf- feur said the woman remarked that this is a troublesome world. isn't it?" after reading the letters.
 Table Set
 Mrs. Rogers was missed . few days after Harned's visit, when friends and relatives went to the apartment and found 1t unoccupted. but with the table set and remnants of meal still on the plates. Mrs. Rogers travelling bags were unmo- tested, where she had left them up. on returning from Chicago, and her effects were in place.
 Philip Haynes. negro. who was employed as janitor at the apart at the time of Mrs. Rogers disap- pearance, has been in jail several days Ion an old charge" and has been subjected to severe grilling by officers.

bRITTEN WANTS JOINT MEETING
Desires J. s. and England to
 Have Naval Confab

Washington, Nov. cs RIChair- man Britten of tho house naval af- fairs committee. thinks he has plan that would help the United States and Great Britain to arrive at an understanding on the equality of sea power and naval problems generally Cables Baldwin In . cablegram to Stanley Bald win. British prime minister. Mir Britten suggested that members ot the house naval affairs committee and . committee from the parlia- ment hold . joint meeting in Canada after March |, and discuss equality of sea power between the two coun. tries on all classes of war vessels not affected by the Washington arms conference. The committees would report the result of the discussions and recommendation to their gov. ernments after the fashion of the inter r-parliamentary union.
 Representative Britten said that that his proposal came about be. cause of statement made by Pre- mier Baldwin on November l3 in which the prime minister was quoted al saying he believed that more ire. quent personal discussions between American and British representatives would lead to better understanding and feeling.
 Genuine Regret Where there is so much genuine regret among the peoples of Eng. land and America over the failure ot the last Geneva naval limitations conference" Representative Britten said in his cablesram. surely some way should be found for a meeting before 1881 when the five leading naval powers will assemble at Wash ington.
 T will respect your personal de. sires in connection with these sug. gestions."
 In . statement issued yesterday Representative Britten said the fail. urs of past limitations conferences had been attributed to military men and that while he personally did not think they were responsible. he would prefer to see both committees composed of non-military men.
 He declared that this country's naval policy had never been con- petitive but had always been de- fensive.
 "We have actually been backward
 
 he declared. American people favor general armament reduction, but only to a limit of national safe- ty."
 He asserted that England and America should lead the way toward naval limitation and peaceful un- derstanding on the seas.
