Richard Findley, an elevator starter
in the Chanin Building in New York.
told of young woman, intoxicated,
who entered the Chanin lobby Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock and whose ac-
tions resulted in the summoning of a
policeman.
Both Findley and the officer have
identified the body of Starr Faithful as
that of the young woman. The officer,
however, was positive she wore a diff
ferent dress than that in which the
body was clad.
The woman was placed in a taxicab
and driven to section of Queens-many
miles from the Chanin Building. Ar
irving there, she was uncertain to what
house she wanted to go, and the driver
finally turned her over to a drugstore
proprietor and drove away. She paid
her bill, which was considerably more
than the So she had when she left home
that morning.
No Alcohol In Body.
DR.. Otto Schultze said that if the
woman at the Chanin Building was as
intoxicated as the witnesses said, she
was not Starr Faithful, for there were
no traces of alcohol in the woman'S
body.
A graphologist was subpoenaed to
study the handwriting in STAIRS diary.
Although it appeared to have been writ
ten by the same person, there were
marked differences in the entries, indi-
eating varying moods.
Stanley E. Faithful. stepfather Of
the girl, was in the grand jury room
for more than an hour.
STAIRS body was washed ashore at
Long Beach last Monday. Inquiry since
then as to the activities of the 25-year-
old girl, who lived in Greenwich Village,
a member of a family in modest cir
cumstances, has developed incidents OF
CAV life in New York and London and
on liners with one visit to hospital
for acute alcoholism and one trip to a
sanitarium for observation.
Experienced every Thrill"
A 30-page diary written by Starr and
found by a detective in the Faithful
home contains the following:
IT have experienced every sensation
life holds and If o does not
meet me soon, I have nothing to live
for" Detectives said there were various
references to the possibility of suicide.
THE diary contains many initials
apparently of men," Edwards said. 1.-THE
family has not helped me in indicating
who is meant"
Besides initials, incidents described in
the diary offered Edwards many leads
for questions before the grand jury. He
said there was evidence to indicate that
several persons would have been happier
if Starr Faithful were dead.
Information has been given Edwards
that the Faithful family was in need
of funds.

Properties Are Guarded AFTER MOD
Attempts TO Storm Jail.
ST. GAINESVILLE, Ohio, June IL
Pl-More than 1000 coal miners in
two Eastern Ohio counties were on
strike today seeking an eight-hour day,
abolition of the average system" and
reinstatement Of miners they claimed
were dismissed because of union af-
filiations.
At. st. Clairsville Sheriff Howard
Duff had 40 special deputies guarding
mine properties and the county jail
where IL alleged strikers were held on
charges of melting riot. The situa-
ton was quiet after an attempt last
night to storm the jail to release the
prisoners was repulsed by officers using
tear gas.
Machine guns were mounted about
the new Lafferty mine of the M. A:
Hanna Coal Co after strikers had
augmented a large number OF Belmont
County deputy sheriffs, who had orders
to keep the highways clear.
Another mine was closed in Jefferson
County at Bradley, and strikers placed
pickets around the properties. At Cadiz
the Harrison County commissioners APP
propriated $4,000 for use of the sheriff
and prosecutor in maintaining order
No strike had been called there, but
the sheriff said reports were current OF
an attempt to call walkout of 300
men in two mines.
The three alleged leaders of the Bel
mont County strike went on a hunger
strike at noon today. They said il
would continue until they were released

|DR. WI PREPARES
TO LEAVE CAPITAL
Ignores Cable From Marking
Urging Him to Remain
as Minister Here.

Despite protests from Marking, rela-
tive to his resignation as Minister and
a cable urging that he continue in the
Office which ne has held for the past
two years, DR.. c. c. WI is unchanged
in his decision to leave Washington and
is now preparing to leave for China
within the next two weeks.
1t was explained at the legation that
the cable urging DR.. WI to remain in
the United States as Minister was
merely formal procedure, and that at
tie same time another cable had been
received from different authorities in
Marking, accepting his resignation.
Yung Kwei in Charge.
In the meantime, all official matters
at the legation will be handled by
the chancellor, Yung Kwei.
Yung Kwai, now past 70 years old,
has been charge d'affaires of the lega-
ton almost score of times since he
joined the staff, in 1889.
DR.. WI submitted his resignation yes
terday and it became effective today.
because he was long out of sympathy
with the policies of the Marking regime
under Chang Kai-Shek. The Minister
explained that the breaking point was
reached when he was instructed to seek
an export permit for munitions which
he feared might be used against the
Cantonese, of which faction he Is
member.
Married American Woman.
Yung Kwai came to the United States
in 1873, was graduated from Yale in
1884 and was first made charge daft
flares in 1910. He married an Ameri-
can woman and his children have been
educated in America.
A man of wealth, Yung Kwai's
friends describe him as a representa-
tive of the old China who has gone I'M
concernedly through the political
changes unaffected"
AT a press conference in the after
noon, DR.. WI explained the necessity
of his resignation.
Last Straw Reached.
THE last straw" he said, was the
necessity for me to apply for export
licenses for munitions ordered by the
Marking government to go to China
Since there seems to be warlike prepa-
rations by the Marking government
against the rival government of Canton
it is highly probable that most, if not
all, of the munitions for which I have
been instructed to apply for export Ii
censes would be used against Cantonese.
AS am Cantonese any one can ap-
preciate my feelings not to want to do
anything to facilitate an army for such
warfare"
Further explaining the issue between
Canton and Marking DR.. WI said it
was based on Cantonese demands that
Chang Kai-Shek resign. He discredited
some contentious advanced by Can
tonese sympathizers that Canton was
being deprived of representation in the
Marking government.
The munitions and war supplies
asked for by the Marking government
he described as a considerable order
It included some 20 airplanes, 16 tons
of powder and other equipment. Under
the embargo on arms to China, licenses
must be obtained for export by appli-
cation to the State Department through
the Chinese legation
Asked whether Yung Kwai would
apply for permits to ship arms to Nam
king, DR.. WI replied:
That will be his job. There is more
than one way to kill a cat"

RIOTS QUELLED BY POLICE.

BERLIN, June IL (P).-Widespread
Communist riots against emergency tax
DEGREES caused the police to take Spe-
cial precautions today on orders Of the
ministry of the interior.
Communists again clashed with au-
thorities at a mass meeting in Berlin
last night, attended by $4,000 persons.
Police searched them for weapons and
arrested scores. Ernst Thaellman, the
chief speaker and a member of the
Reichstag was taken into custody when
he refused to submit to search.
AS the crowd moved away from the
Sportspalast after the meeting, police
were forced to fire blank cartridges
and to use their clubs to maintain
order. Several newspaper Offices were
placed under guard to prevent the par
Elephants from damaging them.
Five persons were wounded in Ham
burg, when police broke up radical
demonstration near the English church.
Ten thousand persons were present at
gathering preceding the outbreak.
One was killed and two were injured
at Lauenberg as a result of authorities
efforts to separate a mob of Commun-
lists fighting among themselves. Police

Conflict between Communists and Ma

the NaZis and the Reds pelted both
groups with stones, using iron drain
pipes for hand-to-hand fighting.
Radical disorders broke out in Kas-
sci for the second successive night
Threatening crowds gathered in the
main streets and resisted police until
the latter resorted to clubs and blank
cartridges. The discovery that an ageo
shoemaker had been killed the preced-
ing night brought the death toll thi:

BRUEN|NG CONFERS
WITH H|NDENBURG
Farley Is Expected to Fix
German Economic and
Political Policies.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 12.-Germany's politi-
cal spotlight shifted today to President
Won Hindenburg's quiet Summer hcme
at Neudeck in East Prussia. Chancellor
Bruening and Otto Meissner, the Presi-
dents right-hGnd man, went there to-
day to discuss the economic and politi-
cal situation at home and abroad.
Whatever course they decide to follow
will likely form the basis for political
decision of highest importance in the
immediate future. The President and
the chancellor have seen eye to eye in
the past and there appeared to be little
doubt that Herr Bruening will come
back tomorrow with the Presidents per-
mission to do whatever he thinks ad-
visable.
Stands by Colleagues.
Before he left the capital the chan
cellor mace it plain that he and his
cabinet would resign if the Reichstag S
council of elders should decide next
Tuesday to override the governments
veto On an extra session of the Parlia-
ment.
He let the various party leaders know
that he will have nothing to do with
maneuvers to GUST certain cabinet men,
bers, including DR.. Julius Curtius, the
foreign minister.
He will stand or fall with his col
leagues, he told the party heads and
anybody who thinks he will head a
new cabinet is mistaken.
His determination to pursue the lines
he has mapped out appears to have
blocked for the time being a movement
to reconstruct the cabinet, leaving
Bruening at its head but removing
ministers Objectionable to the Indus
trialists.
The Populists, who nurse that alnbi.
ton, voted at a party caucus last
night for an extra session of the Reich
stag in the hope that a no-confidence
motion against the cabinet as it /!
now constituted might be carried. Ir
view of the chancellors reiterated loyal
ty to his colleagues it was thought like
ly that they might reconsider theil
action before Tuesdays meeting of the
Council of Elders.
Balance Sheet Published.
The finance ministry today published
the Reich's balance sheet for the fsca
year beginning April l, 1880, and end
| ing March 81 this year.
Ordinary budget receipts were TO-.
386, 800, 900 marks, expenditures 11,4l7..
