MOUNTED POLICE
 FORCED TO FIRE
 TO DISPERSE MOB
Two Strikers Killed, Over Twenty Hurt in Riots at Saskatchewan Town

Estevan, SasK, Sept 3o-CUP)- Royal Canadian mounted police to- day patrolled debris strewn Este van streets where two striking mi ners were killed and more than 20 persons were serious injured in a fierce pitched battle.
 Twelve of the injured were off, cers. One was a girl.
 The battle, precipitated when strikers disregarded Mayor Ban natynes orders not to parade, was the most serious labor outbreak in all Canada since the Winnipeg strike of 1919.
 Mine operators. against whom the miners struck two weeks ago for higher wages and betted living conditions, insisted the whole trouble was caused by communists.
 The miners assembled late yes terday ouptside the city. organized into parade formation. and, with women and children shrieking en- couragement, started the march.
 A squad of local police met the parade at the city limits. Orders to disband were given. The miners marched on. Fighting began. Stones were hurled. Clubs were swung. Heads were bruised. arms broken.
 Slowly the officers, far outnum- bered, were driven through the city and to the town hall where they stood against a wall ana fought back furiously.
 One after another the officers went down under a rain of stones, brucks and clubs. The strikers had almost won when 16 mounted po- lice arrived and plunged into the battle.
 Fighting their way to sides of the local police, the mounted men nrst resorted only to fists and clubs, Several were hurt. They again or dered the rioters to stop. The or der was disregarded. A new show CT of stones and bricks followed The crowd started new assault
 The police fired into the mob. Five men fell. Two of them died. Within five minutes the streets were cleared of rioters Attempts 10 reopen the battle later failed.
 The town, especially the section around the city hall, looked today like a cyclone and struck. Windows were shattered. Lamp posts were broken off. Parked automobiles were torn and battered.
 Of the six persons arrested, three were womei. They were ac- cused of hurling bricks.

IDENTIFICATION OF BODY IN MURDER
 DOOMED TO-DAY
Believed to Be That of NOrw ak Mechanic,
 Missing Since Day Be- fore Ceilings Was Killed

New York, Sept 30-CUP)- High hopes that a body found washed up on the shore of Long Island Sound would prove a tangi- ble clue at last in the mysterious death of Benjamin P. Ceilings, slain yachtsman, were held by the authorities to-day.
 United Press reports from Nor walk, Conn, said that two grill owners there, Richard and Le- grand Raymond, believed the body was that of William Smith, miss ing Norwalk mechanic, not seen since the day before Ceilings was beaten, tied and tossed from his cabin cruiser Penguin by two "pi- rates" who then Kidnapped his wife. Smith had lived at the home ot Dr Louis Ritchie, veterinarian said by neighbors to be in Flor ida. Police visited Ritchie's Nor walk home yesterday.
 Descriptions of the man whose body was found yesterday corre- sponded to characteristics of the missing mechanic, the Raymond brothers told the police. The initial IS" on a belt buckle worn by the dead man added to the belief 1t was Smith.
 One significant angle on the new clue, the police indicated, was a statement by the Raymonds that Smith recently had told them his life was threatened. Long Island authorities believed the body might have been that of the wounded man" mentioned in the story told by Mrs Lillian Ceilings, the widow.
 Two persons whom the authori- ties believed might have some re- mote connection with the strange case were under surveillance in Westchester county to-day, but were not held. The body appeared to be the only clue which held tangible possibilities for a solution to the baffling brutal murder of the retired Stamford, Conn, engi- neer.

Mayor Frank Hayes, following his announced plan of holding daily meetings with members of the democratic town committee and democratic leaders, for the purpose of discussing the accom- plishments of his administration with them held another get-to- gether session with his leaders last evening.
 The number of sewers that have been laid and how sanitary condi- tions throughout the city have been improved were the subjects under discussion last night.
 Despite the fact that he has practiced the strictest economy. the mayor announced last night that 1t was possible for his administra- ton to have laid over 10000 feet of sewer pipe since he took the of- fee, in addition to laying 2,SO0 feet of sewering in the construction or a storm-water drain on Baldwin street and constructing storm sewer in the vicinity of the Fair lawn school involving 2,500 feet of pipe.
 In all 21 streets were benefited as a result of sewers laid under his administration, the mayor pointed out, some of the sewers taking care of large sections and relieving deplorable sanitary con- ditions which had existed for years. He mentioned particularly conditions that existed on Platt street, Hillview avenue. York street, Toros avenue, Beecher ave- nue, Bradley avenue and Addison

 Ann Arbor. Mich, Sept. So.- (UP) The body of Darwin E. Curtiss. former municipal judge at Ypsilanti was exhumed to-day and brought to the University of Michi- gan. where it was examined for traces of poison.
 Sheriff Jacob Andres and John Osborn, a deputy. went to Highland cemetery near Ypsilanti this morn ing and removed the body.

.PARLIAME ENT ADJ0 URN N s
 IN FEN GLAND
Indicates General Election Will Be Postponed Labor Outbreaks Lead to Clashes With London Police
BY HERBERT MOORE

London, Sept 3O-(UP)-Prime Minister J. Ramsay Macdonald announced in the house of com mons today that parliament would adjourn. The announcement was taken to indicate that the question of a general election would be held temporarily in abeyance.
 MacDonald's announcement that the house would adjourn instead of being prorogued left politicians still puzzled over the general elec- ton situation. If he had an- nounced that parliament would be prorogued, 1. e., the session ter minated, it would almost inevit- ably have meant a general elechon but the use of the word adjourn left the question open and does not necessarily preclude general election if the government decides some time soon to hold one.
 As a matter of fact, most disso- Iutions are announced during ad- iournment, as when a government is defeated, the house Immediately adjourns to give. the government an opportunity to consider its po- sition and consult the king. Actual announcement of dissolution is not made by the premier but by the king. In this case, however, ad- journment is not because of a de- feat of the government but because the work for which the special session has been called has been completed.
 MacDonald's statement was in response to question by Arthur Henderson, labor leader, asking whether the government intended to prorogue or adjourn the house. Henderson apparently hoped to lead the premier into simplifying and revealing the governments at- titude towards dissolution and a general election, but Macdonald confined his answer strictly to the limits of the question.
