PEORIA, Ill, Sept. 20.-The

looked inside with knowing
grins and passed on. You
couldn't fool them-no, sir.
The window displayed ten 81
bills, each pinned to a card
reading: Special bargain-89
cents"
The bargain went begging for
four hours before a Scotch
barber, on his way to church,
walked inside and bought all
the bills. Net profit to him

reached home.
"A few minutes later, the lady
with the bag was speaking. and
the others were giving her strict

Irene WoIfSkiII, Heiress to

Been Murdered.
RAN AWAY FROM NURSE
Manner of Death Is Puzzle;
Under DeIusion She
Ruled World.

By United Press
SUISON, Cal, Sept. 20.-The sun
baked hills and quilted range lands
of Solano county have surrendered
the body of Irene Wolfskill, eccen-
trio self-styled empress of the
world" and an investigation, with
murder a possibility, was under way
today.
The body of the 57-year-olc
spjnster-heireSS of famous Cali
fornia family-was found Thursday
night by Bernold GlaShoff, 10, q
rancher's son, and the mystery OF
her strange disappearance july Il
was solved in part. The manner OF
her death, however, remained tc
puzzle authorities.
For years the spinster was q
character of northern California
partly because she was a member
of an old family, the heiress tc
nearly 100000. and partly be-
cause of her delusion that this and
all I see are part Of my king
dom"
Last Seen in July
Wandering through the hills she
loved, ever worried because Of hel
possessions, which her distorted
mind visioned as including all the
earth, Miss Wolfskill was seen last
on July ID.
She was dressed that clay n
ankle-length skirts and her long
strides literally were eating up the
distance as she hiked toward the
sunset over the foothills.
When found the body was clad in
a pair of brown, mems overallS.
Her failure to return home caused
anxiety and for days men rode
through the valleys and over the
hills, hunting the Empress" dead
or alive.
An inquest will be held here late
today at which time an effort will
be made to determine the cause OF
death. This was not possible earlier
because the body was badly decom-
posed, making examination difficult
Two theories are offered. One Is
that Miss Wolfskill became lost, fell
from exhaustion and died. The
other is that she was murdered.
In the background, among the
snarled threads of mystery, is an
oldtime family feud, a strangs
tangle of brotherly hatred and sis
terly affection.
Brothers Unfriendly
Matt and Ney, the brothers, were
not friendly. They had not spoken
to each other for years, and ever
with the disappearance of their SIS
ter, who loved these brother Sub
jects" of hers, could not agree.
"She is dead" Ney told Jack
Thornton, sheriff of Solano county
Immediately after her disappearance
"She ran away from that nurse
Matt hired for her and died of
posure." t/g
just as insistent was Matt : ia
"sister is alive" She loved the III

was found is only short distance

ment of a new standing, committee to

districts to far greater extent than Is
now DONE" Mr.. Baker said.
Whether the extension of the estab-

of the studies made by this committee,
which also will work in close cooper

possibility of a central State crime de-
tecting bureau, as recently suggested by
