Numerous queries have come to tJi chief of detectives from other cities, giving further possible clues to the identity of the murdered girf. Detectives Trohr, Bolar and Trapp ire still working on the case. Coroner Jury Finding, j . "Said miknown person came to her death from a 38-caliber bullet fired by unknown parties at a place to this jury; unknown; but body was found in a ravine in Washington county at a point about 14 miles north of Omaha on November 20, 1919." This was the verdict 7 the coro ner' jury, which conducted an in fluest yesterday afternoon over the body of the unidentified woman found last Thursday in the gully off tlie Kidge road near Calhoun. , The same verdict was returned by a coroner's jury severaljdays ago in Washington county. Miss Grace Ballard, attorney for Washington County, assisted W. W. Slabaugh. assistant attorney for Douglas county, in examining the witnesses. To Go Into Vault. . Following the inquest it was an nounced the body would be placed in vault at 4 this afternoon in Pros pect Hill cemetery. : ' Guy P. Dorsey, deputy county sur veyor, was the first witness intro duced. He was Questioned regard ing the county lines following ex pressions of doubt recently as to whether the body was found in Washington or Douglas county. Mr. f)orscy declared he had run the boundary line lately and found that the bodv was discovered in Wash ington county one mile from the southern boundary of that county. Report of Autopsy, Dr.' Samuel McCleneghan, county physician, was the next witness called. He testified the cause of death was a bullet entering just be low the left ear and emerging two Inches back of the right ear. There Were powder burns at the entrance Of the bullet, he said, indicating the weapon was held close to the wom an's head when it was fired. Witness declared that there was no alcohol in the stomach, and that the woman bad eaten a meal of chicken and vegetables less than an hour befcre she was killed. The! county physician asserted his belief I that some of the bruises ana con fusions on the head and body had been inflicted before death. Others iray have been caused by the fall when the body was turned over tne embankment into the ravine, he said. Dr. E. S. Gleason of Fort Cal houn also testified as to the nature of the wound which resulted in death,' Tell of Finding-Body. A. J. Peterson, a farmer living near Fort Calhoun, told of how he discovered the body about 9 o'clock last Thursday morning. He was driving along the Ridge road, he said, when he looked over the embank ment and his eyes fell on the pros trate form of the dead woman in the pull v. 1 f , William Sievers. Fort Calhoun undertaker; L. N. Green, Washing ton county farmer, and Sheriff Mor ris Mehrens of Washington county, the first persons to arrive on the scene following the discovery of the body by Mr. Peterson, also testified ts to the condition of the body and the ground near where it was found. All indications, they declared, (ointed to the fact that the body was urled from the top of the 20-foot embankment, as there were no toot prints i the soft earth, except those made by Mr. Peterson, who climbed down about 10 feet from the road- : aiAa in Ardor trt nMain a hotter view ' of the body, before he notified per sons living in the neighborhood and before word was sent to the county authorities.

It is not ray understanding that Secretary Wilson made a dennite oner to enncr wie miners or ooerators. but . that he merely suggested a basis on which you might get together. ' Dr. Garfield said the cabinet ap oroved the basis of settlement as presented. Garfield Statement Dr. Garfield's statement to the ioint conference of miners and oper :.trtrs follow r ' On the 24th instant I announced that the public must not be asked to pay more than it is now paying for coal, unless it is necessary to do so in order to provide reasonable wages to the mine workers and a reasonable profit to the operators. Careful in vestication forces me to the conclu sion that in accordance with this and the other principles set forth on the 24tli instant, the public might not to De requirea xo pay any increase m coal prices at this time. "The prices fixed by the govern ment on coai were caicuiarea 10 in crease production for war purposes, Coal was basic and the increase in production was imperative. The ooerators are now in receipt of mar gins which were necessary to effect that increase of production, but which are larger than are required under present conditions. It was es timated that the production needed for 1918 was 600,000.000 tons. Ihe stimate for 1919 is 500.000,000. Increase by Deduction. "Applying the principles set forth in paragraph two of the statement of November 24, when the average in creases in wages since 1913 for the various classes of mine workers are deducted from the increase in - the cost of living since that time, we ar rive at the amount of additional in crease in wages justifiable at the present time. "I have ftken the figures of the bureau of libor statistics for both cost and hvin and for the weighted averatre of wage increases. Accord ing to these figures the cost of liv- - mrt o , A 1 i ing nas r:sen y.o per cent since iyio, and the amount necessary to bring the average wages of mine workers up to this point at the present time :s 14 per cent. Fears to Add Burdens. , "Readjustment heretofore made since 1913 were such as to give certain clases of mine workers an average increase in excess of the in crease in the cost of living and cer tain others nj average increase . be low the increase in the cost of liv ing. This formal adjustment was made in order to establish .or pre serve certain relative basis in the mining industry. ,. I do -not think this condition, however, ought to result in giving to mine workers as a whole, and in consequence im posing upon the public, a total aver age increase in excess of the total average increase in the cost of liv ing, because if this course be adopted the result would be that the total increased burden placed upon the mining industry will be far in ex cess of the increase in the cost of living. If this principle were ap plied in industries generally it is obvious that the resulting cost would be passed along to the gen eral public and the increased wages would increase in. a rapid spiral taking as a minimum the percentage of increase in the cost of living. In the long run, this would add many new and serious burdens to the cost of living of the entire public and would fall more injuriously upon the working classes than upon any others. Government Control. "It seems to me that the reason able way to deal with this situation is to give to the industry as a whole an average increase commensurate with the increase in the cost of liv ing and then let that amount of in creases be apportioned in accord ance with the wage bases that are acceptable to the employers and the employes. - , "Control of prices by the govern ment will be maintained for the present. 'The present negotiation stands by itself, but it is far from disposing of the fundamental controversy be tween operators and mine workers. That controversy is bound to be a continuing one as matters now stand. It involves living conditions and conditions in the mines, as well as wages and profits, and the gen eral relation between operators and mine workers. Therefore, to aid in applying the principles which have governed us and which should gov ern in reaching conclusions in the future it is urged that a permanent consulative body., with purely ad visory powers be set up, consisting of the secretary of interior as chair man and an equal number of repre sentatives of the operators and of the mine workers, chosen in such manner as they may each determine from time to time. Wants Definite Data. "In order that the data necessary for the consideration of this body may at all times be available it is urged that the congress make provi sion for collecting definite and trust worthy information concerning the coal and coke industry and for the tabulation of the same in quarterly Forbes-Robertson Traces i Lineage to David Garrick Actor Gives Discourse on Shakespeare to Audience a The Hotel Fontenelle Makes Him Mad to Be Asked the Question : "Was Hamlet Mad?" reports, showing: , "1. Fr Production, distribution and storage and stocks of coal and coke. 2.

The selling prices and profits obtained by the operators, middle men and retail dealers. "5. Export requirements and the conditions limiting them. The settlement of the present controversy on the wage and price basfs above indicated must be con sidered in the light of the proposal to set ud this permanent consuita tive bodv. While it will not have powers ot decision, it win naraiy seem possible to a reasonable man that in the light of its conclusions Vmands for exorbitant profits or unreasonable wages can be success- lullv maintained or that conditions unfavorable to the American stand ard of living will be tolerated. Angeles Is Killed by Mexican firing pquad (Continued From Page One.) ficer. It entered behind the right ear of Angeles. A military surgeon arrived and performed the legal autopsy. Later the body was taken to the home of friend and buried from there. General Angeles spent the few hours between the time of being sentenced and the time of execution with friends and a priest. During most of the night they discussed philosophy, mathematics, politics and religion. The general appeared to have little concern in the fate awaiting him. . Dictates Letters Home. He slept the hour and a half be tween 3 and 4:30 o'clock. Arising, be dictated letters to Mrs. Angeles and hs sons, Albert and Manuel Calero. He wrote personal let ters and autographs for friends to delveredi after death, wheh he carried with him to his stand for execution. Angeles throughout the world was known as a military genius. He was the reputed friend of Americans and during his trial lauded this country and its citizens. He was the man who brought the French 75 milli meter gun to the perfection that gave it fame as the world's most efficient piece of artillery. This gun was one of the greatest factor against Germany in the world war. For his work tor trance, ne was made a chevalier of the trench legion of honor. Curse Carranza. San "Antonio, Tex., Nov. 26.

Call or writ The Music Hout You Can Trust OAKFORD 7""" MO&ic Co. 0maha Neb-- A discourse on Shakespeare by the incomparable Sir Johston Forbes Robertson was the treat offered by the Fine Arts Wednesday afternoon to an audience which comfortably filled the ball room of the Hotel Fontenelle.' Mrs. Louis Nash ore sented the speaker, referring to the spoken word as one of the fine arts. Before "engaging his hearers in the real movement of his theme, Forbes Robertson asked leave to present his credentials, which proved to be a father and mother who encouraged the early study of the great dram atist, presenting him in a play at the age of 14 and in legitimate acting at the age of 21 under Samuel Phelps, the famous tragedian. . Back to Garrick. He traced his histrionic pedigree back to David Garrick, saying, "I am a link between today and the classic past. I have been a long and ardent student of Shakespeare, and the fact that I was trained by the best actor of the time, make up my credentials for speaking to you on the chosen Eubject this afternoon." The speaker was seated during the preliminary remarks. "I sit down .because I want this part to be familiar," he ex plained. "There are 17 comedies in the first folio of Shakespeare. The Tempest, Measure for Measure and Winter's Tale are classed as comedies. These are in reality serious dramas, and tragis in character, though they end happily. In' our day we would call them romantic drama, of plays, which words seem to fit the char acter of the play better than the word comedy. One-Third in Prose; "Those who worshio at the shrine of Shakespeare are so carried away by the beauty of his verse that they are apt to forget what wonderful passages are in his prose. In all his plays there are 104,530 lines. Of these, 76,530 are in verse and 28,000 in prose considerably more than one-third in prose. Only four plays are without prose King John, Rich ard II, the third part of Henry VI and Lonolanus. Merry Wives of Windsor contains only 119 verse lines and Much Ado About Nothing is, to all intents and purposes, a prose play. . , In the opinion of Forbes-Robertson it is not true that prose is used by Shakespeare only when dealing with a familiar subject. "The thought is often exalting and really poetry, though written in prose. King .Lear, Lady Macbeth and Ophelia speak frequently in prose. "It is a significant fact," the au dience was told, "that Shakespeare ejected obviously to have his mad people or those affecting madness, speak in prose. . "We all have our idols in past his tory those of us who trudy or read ot the past I have two, Garibaldi and Abraham Lincoln. At this the audience gave warm applause. ,n explained Shake speare's treatment of Julius Caesar by a theory that Caesar was Shake speare s historic idol. "He mentioned Caesar 10 times as often as any other great person in the past," declared the speaker. "He reserved his glorious impassioned iambics for Mark Antony in his defense of Caesar, while other char acters in that scene were made to speak in prose. "Except for King Lear, Henry V and the french king in Henry V and six lines in Henry VIII, no king speaks in prose, nor any queen, ex cent Lady Macbeth when mad." Shakespeare was 40 years old in 1604 when Hamlet was written, and in the opinion of Forbes-Robertson Hamlet speaks more like a mati of 40 than one of 30 which the grave digger tells us he was. It was stated that there are 3,885 lines in Ham let. 2,779 of which are verse, leav ing nearly one-third of the play to prose. Characters, Seem Real. '"Was Hamlet mad?' We ask the question that way instead of saying, Did bhakespeare intend the character . of Hamlet to be mad?' The characters are so real to us that we think of them directly. Person ally, the question when it is put to me, makes me mad. Then followed a series of recitals of famous passages from the won derful tragedy, elucidated with all the delicacy and magnetism of per sonality of which forbes-Kobertson is capable and for which he is fa mous. "If Hamlet was mad," said this great exponent of Shakespeare, "then would I be mad, for I would be the most wonderful person of the 19th century." After each of Forbes-Robertson s many recitations of Shakespearean passages, hearty applause from the audience gave proof of full appre ciation of his exquisite interpreta tion of thought and surpassing mas tery of the fine art of the spoken word. Lloyd George Interested In Dry Law Reception In U. S. London, Nov. 26. Premier Lloyd George said today that he never had thought the introduction of prohibi tion in Great Britain possible,-even during the war, but that he was watching the American experiment sympathetically, with , a mind free from preconceived opinions. His reply to a temperance depu tation, to which he made this re mark, foreshadowed legislation be fore Christmas in connection with the control of liquor.

Sir Johnstone Forbes-Robertson, Richard Bennett and Julius Tannen spoke at noon yesterday at a lunch- con given at the Omaha Athletic club by the Elks' committee having in charge the actors fund benefit performances which will be held Friday afternoon, December 5, at the Boyd and Brandeis theaters.
