POLICE LACK CLUE
IN BRUTAL Staying
Fail to Identity Murdered
Woman Whose Body Was
Found Burning.
Rv the Associated Press.

by tEe Associated Press
CRAWFORD, N. j., February Is
Police had little to help them today in
the continuation of their efforts to
identity the woman who was shot to
death and then set Attire near here
early Saturday.
The body was to be viewed today by
persons acquainted with Mrs. Mozanna
McLain, Government witness in the
New York gin ring" cases last October,
who has been missing for some time,
but officials did not indicate that they
had any particular reason to believe
the body to be that of Mrs. McLain.
Meanwhile officers were checking UP
with Newark City officials on a report
that woman whose name they de-
cline to give out had quarreled with
her husband recently and might have
been the victim. The woman's hus-
band was reported to own a blue auto
mobile similar to one seen near the
spot where the burning body was
found.
Although the case paralleled that of
Margaret Brown, New York governess,
whose burning body was found about
year ago, near Bernardsville, and
', whose murderer never was found, Gran
ford police are of the opinion that the
two crimes were not committed by the
same person.
Officers had In their possession a
mans hat and womans coat, found
yesterday at widely separated spots. The
hat was found about a quarter of a
mile from the place where the woman's
body was seen blazing by a passing
truck driver. The coat was found be-
tween here and Railway, lying about 10
feet from the side of the road as though
1t had been tossed from passing auto
mobile. Police hold the coat as little
value to them. but the hat, they be-
lieve, may prove valuable clue in the
finding of the slayer.
Thomas B. Walsh, assistant county
prosecutor in charge of the case, said
that police were stalemated in their ef-
forts until some identification of the
body was made.

Charges Corruption.
The Norris resolution charged that
there had been fraud and corruption
the senatorial primary which nominated
MIR. Ware in 1925. It - charged that
there was corruption in the election
which followed the p" nary. Mr.. Ware,
the resolution conten led, has not been
able to refute the evidences of fraud and
corruption presented TO the committee.
As the Senate committee has reported To
the Senate that Mr.. Ware is rot entitled
to seat. the resolution proposes:
!. That the report Of the Senate
committee is hereby approved and
adopted.
2. That Mr. Ware is denied a seat
IN the Senate.
g. That the special committee be
continued in Office during the next
Congress unless 1t shall have been
discharged by the Senate itself.
Although majority of the Senate
Is believed TO be opposed 70 allowing
Mr.. Ware to be seated there is a dis
position in the Senate not TO press the
matter against Mr.. Ware at this time

BLAST SEWERS
WATER SUPPLY
OF STRIKE CITY

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, May
l6. U.P)-The gravest situation
since the textile strikes broke out
here, existed today, following dyna-
miting of the chief water conduit
into the city, and arrest of more than
100 strikers for picketing. Tear gas
was used by national 'guardsmen to
break up the strike ranks.
The conduit, from springs in the
hills, was completely severed,
leaving the city without a water
supply.
The conduit was blasted early to-
day. One man was arrested III con
ection with the dynamiting, and
other arrests were expected coon.
Gap Creek road, one Of the main
highways from the hill sections,
and used by "loyal workers" of
the American Nemberg and Ganzst-
eff Rayon plants, was found block
ed by felled trees over "a consider
able length.
Another attempt by strikers to
keep loyal workers from going to
work resulted in injuries to six
pickets, and clash with national
guardsmen, who Were forced to U.S.
tear gas to quell a near riot.
