SHOWN BY THE AUTOPSY
Careful Observer Finds Out How
To Keep Self Cool These Hot Days
Olney, III., July 27. An expana-
tion of the circumstances to which
are attributed the death of Miss
Elizabeth Radcliffe, near here, late
Friday night, was given today by H.
Morris, state's attorney.
Because of the girl's death Roy
Hinterllter is awaiting action by the
November grand jury. He was held
without bail after the verdict of the
coroner's jury yesterday.
Attorney Morris today gave out a
statement, explaining the pathological
feature of the case. Stating that the
autopsy showed that the girl was in
delicate condition, the prosecutor
added: v
"There were no exterior marks of
violence. Three experienced sur
geons found alt organs perfectly
normal.
"In cutting into the right ventricle.
he continued, "air escaped. The heart
waa nerfectlv healthv. When the
surgeons removed the top of the skull
they noticed bubbles of air. All blood
vessels of the brain showed air cir
culation. There were no structural
changes, but on a test, the brain
floated in water. There was no lesion
of the lung.
Later it was discovered that a
man, while going to the sanitarium,
threw away an instrument used in
illegal operations. It was found. The
man had boasted of previously using
such instruments."
The prosecutor has letters said to
have been written by Hinterliter to
the girl.
ob Like Old King
Solomon's Faces
U. S. Judge Landis
Chicago, July 27. King Solomon's
ancient role of judge as to the mother
hood of a baby was played again by
Judge' Landis in the federal district
court today when Mrs. Anna Dollie
Ledgerwood Matters and Margaret
Ryan, a Canadian girl, appeared be
fore him, each claiming to be the
mother of "Baby Irene," age 1 year.
Mrs. Matters recently was acauitted
of the charge of attempting to foist a
spurious heir to her husband's estate
on the probate court
Marie Louise Des Kosiers, head
nurse of the Misertcordia hospital,
Ottawa, Canada, in which institution
Margaret Ryan alleges her'babv
was taken from her, testified the child
was taken from, the Canadian srirl
just after birth and given to Mrs. Mat
ters. She said Mrs. Matters came to
the hospital and threatened to blacken
tne hospital s reputation unless Miss
ues Kosiers testified that the infant
belonged to Mrs. Matters. Detectives
representing other heirs had threat-
ened her with imprisonment, she said,
unless she testified concerning the
isise neir.
Fear had caused her to obev Mrs
Matters' wishes in the earlier stages
in the case. She had been promised
money, she said, but had refused it.
The nurse' testimony prompted the
court to order subpoenaes for threr
attorney and a detective employed
Dy jar. Matters.
Demo Convention
Leaves Sore Spots
(From Staff Corraapondaitt.)
Lincoln. Tulv 27. CSneial l Stale
house democrats returning to the
daily grind, after attending the state
convention at Hastings, pretend to be
delighted with the result of the con
vention. They insist that everything
went offin a harmonious fashion and
the anti-Bryan men nretend that
everything was harmonious because
neither William J. or Brother Charles
was there to make trouble.
But with all their oretended rood
feeling, there is an under-current
which idicates that the one-sidedness
of the affair does not really mean
tnat every Doay is satisfied.
Une man this morning, though
not a state house democrat, said that
the democratic party was in mighty
nara lines wnen it had to submit to
the dictation of a man like Arthur
Mullen. It was a shame, said he
"and will surely result in the ultimate
of the oartv at the colls.
Though held in the western part
ot the state, or nearly so, tne demo
cratic state convention was shy about
half a dozen delegations, according
to reports. This is marked contrast
to the republican state convention,
where every county was represented
and hardly a vacant chair on the
floor.
You appear to be in status quo,"
remarked the Oldest Inhabitant
when he met his pal. the Careful Ob
server, in a listless mooa, against ma
usual wont

answered the C. O.
'Got what?" inquired his friend,
thinking he might have been stricken
with the heat or a tit ot benevolent
inclination.
"I've got a system for beating the
hot weather. It's as easy as eating
pie when you are hungry. My sys
tem is conservation of energies. You
just watch me for the next few hours.
You will observe that I make no
false motions I make no faux pas,

Britons Contradict
Turkish Report of
Victory Near Suez
London. Tulv 27. A British official
statement was issued today denying
the Turkish official report of July
26 that British cavalry forces in the
vicinity of the Suez canal had been
dispersed. The statement follows
the commander in cniet in
Egvnt reports: 'It is stated by the
German wireless that our cavalry has

and driving in his covering parties, at

Healy Stirs Up a
Scene in English
House of Commons
London. July 27. An exciting
scene, indicative of the strong feeling
which prevails among the Irish mem
bers, occurred m the House of Com
mons tonight when Timothy Healy
charged the government with arrest
ing AUUU r.nocent persons in the
course of the Irish rebellion and
treating them with a cruelty and fe
rocity which even Germany has not
shown in Belgium." "The home sec
retary," he added, "by his adminis
tration, has started the Sinn Fein or
ganization in Ireland and was there
fore father of the movement"
The speaker called Healy to order
for irrelevance, but did not refuse the
request of Herbert L. Samuel, the
home secretary, to reply to the
charges made.

Tex., a strong Mexican column was
immediately dispatched from

telegram received today by Andes
Garcia, Mexican consul here, from
General Trevino.
It was this band that recently

Don't Think the
Gompers Idea Is
Practical Just Now
(Corraapandanea of Tha Aaaortatad Pnaa.)
The Hague. July 10. "If the inter
national socialist bureaa has not as
yet succeeded in bringing the Austro
German and allied socialists together,
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor cer
tainly could not accomplish the
task, says Camille Huysmans, sec
retary of the International Socialist
bureau, toa correspondent of the As
sociated Press, in answer to a pro
posal of Mr. Gompers to hold a world
labor conference during the progress
of the peace conference following the
war.
Mr. Huysmans pointed out that any
international conference without the
participation of the British and
French socialists would be a farce, in
that its decisions would be entirely
lacking in influence. He asserted his
belief that Mr. Gompers' proposal at
present is impracticable, and he depre
cated the idea of the American or In
ternational Trade union organizations
trespassing on the political domain of
the Socialist International bureau. He
declared that such a conference would
have to be held under the auspices of
the latter organization, and naturally
he would approve of such a congress
if the British and French were willing
to participate.
ALLIES REJOICE
OYERJCTORIES
Claim to Have. Captured Sever
al Important Position On
Western Trout.
LLOYD GJSOBGE EXULTS
London, July 37. The allies are
able to congratulate' themselves on
another good da record with the
capture of the important positions of
Poziere on the western front and
Erzingan in Armenia, while the Rus
sian General Sakharoff, fighting on
the Slonevka river, captured another
4,000 prisoners and five guns.
The British secretary for war,
David Llovd Georee. in a published
statement tonight shows the impor
tance the Germans attached to the re
tention of Pozieres by quoting from
a German divisional order issued at
Contalmaison, July 11, as follows:
"Furthermore the conversion of
villages into strong points is of the
greatest importance. Such villages
are Pozieres, Contalmaison and the
two, Bezan and Longueval."
Secretary Lloyd George points out
that with the capture of Pozieres the
last of these villages has fallen into
the allies' hands. He further points
out that today' German claim of the
repulse of an attack on Trones woo
must be a clerical error, as Trones
wood has been in British possession
since July 14.
Opinion of Critic.
The opinion of the military critics
in London is that no position so
strong a the British are successfully
attacking will be found between
Pozieres and Bapaume; otherwise,
they argue, the Germans would not
have risked bringing troops and guns
from the Verdun sector to defend
Pozieres and it is inferred from indi
cations in the official dispatches that
the British are already beginning to
establish themselves on both sides of
the road from Pozieres to Bapaume.
As on the western front the Ger.
mans and Austrian appear unable to
make a successful stand anywhere
against the victoriou Russian forces.
General Sakharoff recent success
has brought him within about twelve
miles of Brody, which guard , the ap
