Employe of Austria Will Be Cut Railroads to Lop Off 60,000 to 70,000 From Payroll to Meet Requirements of Recent Loan. By Universal Service. Vienna, June 17.—Between 00,000 and 70,000 employes of the Austrian Federal railways, slated for the league of nations '‘retrenchment guillotine" by the edict of the international bank ers under conditions of the recent loan, are soon to be added to Austria's big unemployment list. Dr. Zimmerman, ex burgomaster of Amsterdam, who, as foreign dictator, cracks the whip in Austria as the representative of the league and be hind the league is the bankers, is to see that Austria gets none of the loan excepting as heads fall according to the program laid down. Uneasiness increases in labor circles a sthe fatal cross Is placed opposite names on the state payroll. Government officials admitted that while the "guillotine'’ figuratively erected In Vienna to help Austria meet the seven per cent interest on her loan, has slowed down almost to the stopping point, it is expected to speed up again soon. The government express optimism over its ability to meet the crisis of unemployment, which the social demo crats and labor leaders declare in evitahly must come. Employment at present stands at about 140,000. Their dependents would bring the total to about 400,000, about six or seven per cent of the total population rf Austria. Austria is able to buy up and con sume less than 20 per cent of its own Industrial productions. It is frankly admitted on all sides that, even with the help of the interna tional bankers' loan, Austria can m»et her interest payments and continue to live only if the tariff barriers erected roundabout hrr are levelled, reviving her stagnated Industries, giv ing employment to the unemployed and enabling her to export freely. Red Heads” Are Sought in Death of College Bov Salesman Describes Hazing at Spot Where Skeleton, Be lieved to Be Leighton Mount. Was Found. By Intrrrmtional N(wa Sen |er. Chicago, Juno 17.—Search for a solution to the Leighton Mount death mystery, that has gone on among 3.000,000 persons In Chicago, narrowed itself down tonight to Include only men with refl hair. Determination to “get the red head' arose In the states attorney's office following startling revelations made by B. H. Rouw of fllftun, Arlz., who said he saw four youths, one with tiery hair, lowering a body In 1921, into the pier where Mount's skeleton was found recently. Rouw Tells Story. The story of Rouw, who travels In the southwest for a San Francisco firm, tended to bear out the state's theory that Mount was killed in a student hazing and his body secreted beneath the pier, Rouw told the state's attorney over long distance telephone that ho was a witness to the weird burial. “I was in Chicago on business In the fall of 1921," Rouw said, "and was driving around Evanston for pleasure. By accident I saw the burial scene. I was not more than 100 feet away. The students told me not to tell anything of what I had seen, but I reported It to the Evans ton police. “Only Hazing," Police Say. " 'Oh Its only a hazing,' they told me. It was just about sunset. Anoth er salesman and I saw a group of college students by the lake, ap parently very excited about some thing. Four of them were man handling a hoy while the rest looked on. Tho fifth appeared either un conscious or dead. His clothing was all torn. "One of the hoys tore a loose plank from the floor and they low ered tho fifth in. One climbed In after hut came nut after a while. "When they saw us they seemed undecided what to do, hut finally came tip anil one warned me not to say anything about It. I didn't know the boy was dead, of course, and thought It perhaps only a prank. "1 could Identify all four. One was fat and another red haired." Following tho conversation, an as sistant slates attorney was sent to Clifton to bring Rouw to Chicago II ho thought It was warranted.

San Franclscd, June 17.—Prohibi tion authorities admitted tonight that they had heard of a plan said to be sponsored by local wealthy men to install a palatial booze palace off the Golden Gate and outside the three mile limit which would serve the double purpose of providing a gay cabaret with pre-Volstead refresh ments and also a store ship for veg sels forced to disgorge their wet car goes in order to enter port. Reports reaching the dry officers were to the effect that the former cruiser Buffalo, now retired, was un der consideration for purchase and refitting into a palatial ocean hotel with accommodation of hundreds of diners, who would reach it on special excursion ships.

Wall Street Is Hit by Another Large Failure Stock Exchange 'Member for 28 Years Forced Into Receiv ership With $11,000,000 Liabilities. New York, June 17.—Wall street, in the midst of a many sided •'clean up" campaign directed primarily at bucket shops, was hit by an other failure—that of Knauth, Nachol & Kuhne, a member of the New York Stock exchange and of the New York curb market. Boasting a record of 70 years in the street, 28 of them as members of the stock exchange, the supposedly powerful house, with strong German connections, was forced into a re ceivership with $11,000,000 liabilities. A statement of the firm, however, declared its assets were ample to meet its obligations, provided they are administered wisely, although it was admitted that a large portion of them were "glow" assets. The f.iilure was the first involving a gtock exchange house In more than cix months, although there have been a string of curb and consolidated ex change failures. Unlike most of the recent failures, there appeared no suspicion on the part of i*. ■ siPhorltUa, that Knauth. Nachol A Kuhne had engaged in the popular business of bucketing orders. Their failure, It was indi cated, was due primarily to unsuc cessful oil promotions and in a lesser degree to the falling market for Ger man marks. In which they were the most extensive dealers In America. The firm also did a large Inter national bank business and its failure gave members great concern. The bucketing situation Is expected to conte to a head Monday, when Ed ward M. Fuller, confessed- bucketeer, appears at a referee s hearing ready, the authorities hope- to tell all he knows about Irregular operations in the street. There have been reports that Fuller, hoping to gain llenaney when he come up for sentence Tues day, would make a "clean breast," In volving a ring of higher-ups who are ieputi4 to control most of the city's bucket shops. Fuller silent in his cell today, as to how far he would go in his testimony. 1 Missing. o() Hurt in Oil Tank Fire Los* in Spectacular Pittsburgh Blaze Is Estimated at $1,500.000.

I Shipping Board Steamer Will Be Floating Palace Leviathan, Which Makes First Trip Tuesday, Is Finest in World, Reconditioned at Cost of $8,000,000—European Boats Do Not Com pare With American-Owned Vessel. By Universal Sendee. Washington, Junp 17.—When the steamer Leviathan is tugged out of Boston Tuesday afternoon to make its trial trip tq Guantanamo, Cuba, it will represent within its graceful lines the heaviest investment ever made In a reconditioned ocean grey hound. Eight million, two hundred thou sand dollars have been expended un der congressional authority to make (his German vessel, built in 1914, fit for the trade and requirements of to day. A century ago. this sum would have built and outfitted several arma das as large as the Spanish and equip ped them with all the trappings known to the time. Five Years, I’rofit. Now the expenditure of $8,000,090 is a mere "bag of shells" to be made back In the course of five years of voyaging under prudent manage ment. The traveling public has passed through various stages of accom modation, until it requires floating palaces, when water trips are con cerned, so that all the comforts of home mav be enjoyed—and maybe a few more. The Leviathan will serve 30.000 meals a day, when it crosses to Eu rope July 4. It can carry as many people as 200 railway passenger cars and pack besides their luggage and subsistence. Its gunwales are 60 feet above the water line and it will draw Borne 40 feet, the equivalent of a four story office building. The super structure is 30 feet higher than the main deck. Approximately 1,100 officers and men will compose the crew, embrac ing the engine room, deck and steward forces and special branches. The lifeboat equipment will consist of 76 boats, capable of holding 4,750 persons, and in ease of more pas s.engers, additional accommodationB wii be provided. No crowding will be permitted, how ever. The maximum number of pas sengers to be carried will be 3.400, 1,000 first class, 500 second class and 950 each third and fourth class. Add ed to the crew, there will thus be 4,500 persons aboard. Features Provided. The following features; physical and otherwise, will be provided: Public rooms. lobbies, social halls, libraries, tea rooms, smoking rooms, dining saloons, restaurants, a winter garden, gymnasium, a hospital, a radio room, barber shops, swimming pools, public and private toilets and bath, telephone exehange. printing shop, baggage and mailing rooms, photographers' dark rooms, writing rooms, electric plant, kitchens, bak eries, pantries, steam heating and Ventilating systems, fire prevention system, hoisting machinery, elevators, etc. Great Britain may advertise her Aqultanias, Majesties, Olympics and Berengarias say the shipping board savants, but it will be some time be fore there is another Leviathan. Incidentally, the picture of Presi dent Harding, head of the world's leading democracy, will rest in a frame which formerly held the pic ture of \Vil|lam Hohensollern, well known ex emperor.

Fascisti "For Good of Order” Assigned a« Reason for Former Klaniinan Quitting Organization. Edgar I. Fuller, whose Ku Klux Klan activities extended from Omaha to the Pacific coast and who helped organize the Fascisti of America, an anti-klan organization, was deposed as one of its officers and is no more connected with the organization. This became known Saturday when Charles Clancy, national secretary, announced that J. M. Swenson, prominent attorney and wealthy real estate man of Burlington, Colo., was named in Fuller's place. "Fuller resigned for the good of the order," was the only comment made by Mr. Clancy when asked why the change.” "Since Fuller severed his connections with the organization that stands for only American principles and ideals, we have made a complete change In the detail work." said Mr. Clancy, who stated that meetmgs were being ar ranged now in every large city." Clancy stated that the organization would undertake to place a framed copy of the constitution of the United States in the home of every member of the fascisti and to place such a frame in every public building and school. The fascist!, according to Clancy, have taken on an exclusive American front, that is, h» says, the names lictors and other foreign names of the organization have been changed. The grand lictor will be known as the national chapter commander. Thus the pople, he says, will clearly understand the names of the offices of the men who will guide the des tines of this organization. "This organization," said Clancy, "is in no way affiliated with any foreign organization by this or any other name. Fascisti is derived from the Latin word, "facto” meaning "to do.” Therefore, the fasclsU members are doers, and In this organization j they work for the preservation and maintenance of .American ideals and principles ” Clancy stated that P.obert P Starr, attorney of Ravenna. Neb., has been added to the advisory council.

Cuno Paper Attacks U. S. By l'ni\*r*al h*rrice, Berlin, June 17.—A general strike of all workmen in Germany is being urged by the radical unionists fol lowing the mob demonstrations in Brandenburg yesterday, and extra po lice precautions are being taken today in all industrial centers. Radical leaders are sending out propaganda and agents to all work centers in Germany in an effort to spread the strike. This action is not considered as a protest against the Ruhr occupation so much as a dem onstration against capital. Homes are Looted. In Mulheim, the miners went out on strike and the homes of several mine directors were looted by the mobs. Some of the men went back to their jobs, when their demands were met by the .ndustrial chiefs. At Brandenburg, there was much firing, but no casualties were reported. The city is quiet today. An attack on the United States is rrinted in Chancellor Cuno's official organ. Die Zeit. It says: Attack on L'. S. "How American statesmen and leaders of public opinion can have the nerve in the future to talk about moral ideals of the American people, after they calmly looked on at these crimes against human and divine law, for which the Americans share the guilt, will ever be beyond understand ing, The French Invasion of the Ruhr will always remain a black page in America's history too. as that great power is accessory to the crime.” Speaking before the Foreign Press association last night, Herr Cuno said: “You cannot say It too often, nor put it too strongly, that the German government, sincerely, honestly and earnestly is trying to get out of the present situation onto a sane, eco nomic and business basis of settle ment."
