MAKES POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION OF BODY IN TRUNK Wife of Detroit Policeman Breaks Down After View- ing Corpse of Mrs. Le jt. roy in New York. Xw York. July 28. Mrs. Leo - Trumbull, wife of a Detroit police ' roan, today at the Betlevue morgue identified the body of the young wo man found in a trunk in the Ameri can Railway Express company ware- house here last week, as that of Mrs. Eugene Lerov. Mr. Trumbull was positive in her Identification as well as was her hus band, who also viewed the mutilated body. Mrs. Trumbull maintained her composure throughout the ordeal of viewing, the body of her friend, but broke down completely during the legal formalities and was led from the room weeping. Suicide Expected. Detroit, Mich., July 28. Police authorities believe Eugene Leroy, who is sought in connection with the death of Katherine Lakatalyn Jackson Leroy, whose body was found in a trunk in New York, soon will be found, but they fear that he will commit suicide before he per mits himself to be captured. Edward H. Fox, chief of detec tives, said today he believes Leroy went to Chicago after the murder was committed. "The man was deeply enamored of Mrs. Jackson," said Fox. ('He is of the type that kills during a jealous : tage and then, unable to forget the horror of the thing, takes his own life. He may be an unidentified suP ! cide in some distant city, i "If he is alive I think it will only j be a question of a few days before I he is arrested.' i The coat bearing the Balatka, Fla.,- label, found in the death trunk, was . identified today by Frank Bessent as . ' belonging to him. He said Leroy ; stole it from him last January when " they roomed together. Bessent also told the police that Leroy told him he had served in the medical department of the army and tne police believe this accounts for the surgical skill shown in dismem bering tho girl's body. J. Stockmore told the police today that Leroy, while working with him, told him he had a wife and child in New York and that he was not mar ried to the woman with whom he was living in Detroit. Man Held in Kansas. Lawrence, Kan., July 28. A tele gram received today by Sheriff .Woodward from the Detroit chief of tietectives ordered to hold for further investigation the man who was arrested here yesterday answer ing the description of Eugene Le roy, sought in connection with the Detroit trunk murder mystery. banner Wheat County Of Kansas Has Yield of $640 for Each Person (Continued From Paee On.) railroads to keep up with the de mands for service. Motor Trucks Promise Relief. Motor trucks, too, are a promise bf relief. The wonderful dirt roads of Kansas are unequalled, and in some parts runs of 100 miles are being made by producers to get their grain to local milling centers. Large portions of the grain in this region are being shocked or stacked to be threshed later, when conditions , improve. In some counties part of the 1919 cut is still in stacks. While the 'inability to sell his ! jgrain quickly after the harvest works a hardship on the farmer of small reserves, because his income is re i ceived in dribbles that evaporate, in stead of in a lump sum that can be banked, still, in a general way, it ; relieves the shortage in farm labor. ,vBy stacking, the farmer is able to -go on with his plowing and then club V iin with other farmers in the winter V to thresh at his leisure. As to profits, the state authorities ifsay all Kansas fanners wil' make s ' profit on the season's great crop. In -,3919 they figure the farmers, on an ?"average, sustained a loss of 43 cents : per acre on the wheat crop, the cost ; per acre tQ grow being $25.50 and the return per acre being $24.77. ' This year the wheat acreage is a ' million and a half less than last year, ; but the total crop is larger and the price is 40 or 50 cents a bushel higher. "Profits," said one man who farms " 20,000 acres, "depends on how you j figure cost. In 1917 and 1918 the i famers out here lost heavily. It j. -was an actual loss. What they made i in 1919 went to even up what they j lost in the other two years. This year the velvet is there. Every gosh durned farmer is wearing a grin." Here's the reverse: "I put in 300 acres of wheat this year," said the old timer. "It should have been 600, but I cut it in half because I couldn t I take that much of a gamble. I lost so much the last three years that this time, with labor and commod ities so high, I couldn't afford to gamble with weather on more than 300 acres.. "It's a make or break proposition and now the farmers are raking it in and I've only 300 "acres in the pot." The thing most needed out here is to cut down the size of the farms to 160-acre holdings.

On account of the geographical location of the isiand, federal offi cers and officials of Washington, Douglas and Pottawattamie coun ties argued as to whose duty it was to investigate the case.

Federal Officer Sumner Knox ob tained a search warrant yesterday afternoon to search the island jn or der to capture Sillick. "Tell the officers to come after me," Sillick told newspaper men when they appeared on the island. "There's nothing dangerous about me," he continued. "You know I've got to protect my life and property." Dispute Over Boundaries. Mrs. Sillick declared the fight be tween her husband and the Vincent Cook faction was not over politics, but over the boundary line between the Sillick and Cook farms. Sillick moved from Omaha to the island four years ago. Later the Cook family took dp residence on the northern part and trouble over boun dary lines began almost immediately, Both the Sillick and Cook families have fine acreage in corn.

MOVE TO RELEASE DEBS HINGES ON WORD FROM COX Third Party Nominee Again Asks Democratic Candidate to Assist In Freeing So cialist Leader. Salt Lake City, Utah, July 28. Plans looking to the release of Eu gene V. Debs from prison are being held in abeyance pending word from Governor Cox, democratic nominee for president, as to whether he will co-operate in them, Parley P. Christensen, farmer-labor nominee for president, informed the governor in a telegram today. The telegram asked for an early reply to one sent by Mr. Christensen from Denver last week, wherein he asked the nominees of the democratic and re" publican parties to join him in pressing for Debs' release. . . The telegram follows: "On July 20 I. telegraphed to you and Senator Harding a request that you and he join with me in urging the president to release Eugene V. Debs, the socialist candidate, now serving a term in Atlanta prison for professing his political views during the war, which has been over 20 months. Harding Is Opposed. "Senator Harding has replied un favorably. I can only assume from what he says that, while he was in favor of freedom of speech for the republican senators who attacked, investigated and ridiculed, if they did not actually obstruct, the gov ernment's prosecution of the war in 1917-18, he is unwilling to concede the socialists the constitutional right of free speech and political criticism in war time. "I take it the republican candidate is content to suffer the socialist can didate to remain in prison and the socialist party, which has polled nearly a million votes in a national election, to pursue the campaign minus its unanimously chosen standard bearer and paramount spokesman. v Strong for Debs. "Still I have not lost hope of bringing the president to see the tyranny involved in the continued imprisonment of Debs or of con vincing him that thinking Americans of all parties hold the administra tion in contempt for its violence to the fundamental rights, of free speech,' free press and free assembly in general and for its vindictive at titude toward Debs in particular. "For I intend to make every pos sible effort to the end that Debs, a man with whom I disagree political ly, be accorded the same freedom to voice his. beliefs that you and Sen ator Harding and I enjoy. My plans, however, will be held in abeyance pending an expression as to your willingness to co-operate in what appears to me as a matter of fair play, if nothing more. I would be grateful to you for an early re ply." ' Democrats Fearful of Plot by Republicans (Continued From Face One.) help give the nation that increased production of which it stands in real need? "In addition to the laying off of men there have been reports of ef forts to decrease wages. It will be recalled that in 1907 and 1908 employers sought to reduce wages, the result of which at that time would have been to produce a panic. The American Federation of Labor sent forth the warning that we would resist and resist and re sist, and we paraphrased a saying and declared it better to resist and lose than not to resist at all. The policy of reducine wages was abandoned as a result of that warning. We repeat that warning toaay. At an hazards we will re sist wage reductions. . There is no excuse and much less a reason for reductions. There is no excuse and muchc less a reason for reduction of wages. We will tolerate no re duction of wages. Even yet we have ground to cover before we restore to all the purchasing power of 1913." Raps Smployers. Instead of impaired efficiency of labor there is an inefficiency of em ployers, which is demonstrated by mill shut downs, contends Mr. Gom pers, and adds: . xnr inuis ana lactones stlOUla run. Management should consult with workers through the chosen representatives of the workers. The cooperation to be achieved by such a policy will give the nation the pro duction that it needs, that is needed by. the whole world. Arrogance, bigotry and autocratic conduct of employers is a waste that society can ill afford." Surveying 14 important industries. the Department of Labor found that in five there was an increase and in nine a decrease of the number of persons employed in June, com pared with May. There was a 5.3 per cent increase in the iron and steel industry and 3.2 per cent in crease in car building and repair ing.

FIGHTS ENLIVEN PROCEEDINGS IN JAP PARLIAMENT Discussion Concerning Stock Gambling by Members and Expulsion Movement Pre cipitates Tense Struggles'. Tokio, July 28. (By The Asso ciated Press.) iJisorder in the House of Representatives yesterday was repeated today when the allega tions that Baron Takahashi, minister of finance, and other ministers had improperly used their offices by in dulging in stock gambling were again discussed. Several members of the opposition rushed to the rostrum, followed by governmental members, and fist fighting was started. Guards were obliged to in terfere. Today's trouble started when a spokesman for the government party rose to approve the decision to send M. Shimada, who made the charges against the ministers before a disciplinary committee and offered a motion to this effect, saying his idea was to secure Shimada's ex pulsion from the bouse. j Replying to this, Shimada, who is a famous orator, declared his charges were made in the hope of "clarifying the .contaminated atmos phere of . officialdom" and that the denials of the ministers failed to sat isfy him. Yukio Ozaki, former minister of justice, suddenly participated in the discussion, saying it was impossible to be content with the reply of the cabinet ministers. The house adopt ed the anti-Shimada motion, 264 to 157. Outside the Diet building at the same time an excited mass meeting against the cabinet was in progress. A thousand policemen were present and a number of arrests were made. Three Metal Planes Ready for Flight to Map Air Mail Route New York, July 28.

Athens, July 28. Greek military operations have been relatively bloodless, but successful, because of the rapidity of the Greek move ments. They seem to appear at the right time and place with over whelming forces, causing the morale of the Turks to break both in the Asia Minor and Thracean cam paigns. When the Greeks debarked at Rodosto a week ago, the soldiers throwing themselves into the sea the quicker to get ashore, the Turkish Commander of the Fifty-fifth divi sion is reported to have telephoned the nationalist commandant at Adrianople, Colonel Jafar Tayar: "I cannot hold out; my soldiers are running away like chickens." Greek troops operating in Thrace total 50,000; those in the Asia Minor campaign 90,000. They are well equipped and experienced soldiers. It is estimated there were as few as 100 casualties among the Turks and Greeks in Thrace, but a few thousand have been reported in the Asia Minor campaign.
