    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.

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.

Officers Are Puwled.
On account of the geographical
location of the isiand, federal offi

Douglas and Pottawattamie coun
ties argued as to whose duty it
was to investigate the case.
Cook feared to take his family
back to their island home before the
law interfered to protect . him.
Armed, he walked the shore of the
island all Tuesday night 'and yes
terday. 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

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." '

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: .

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. The decreases were 6.4 per
cent in woolen, 5 per cent in hosiery
and underwear and -3.7 per cent in
leather manufacturing..
Ten industries showed gains in
number of employes in June, 1920,
compared with June, 1919. The.
largest increases were 42.9 per cent
in men's ready-made clothing, 20.4
per cent in car building and repair
ing, and 15.6 per cent in paper mak
ing. There were decreases in silk,
cigar and leather manufacturing and
coal mining.

Discussion Concerning Stock

Expulsion Movement Pre

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.

Manila, July 28. Hollow-eyed and
a little blue around the gills, but
ready at the first tinkle of ice in the
pitcher to clear their throats for an
impromptu speech, the congressional
joyriders arrived in Manila Tuesday.
For de luxe tourists traveling in a

than former Minister Dr. Reinsch,

weak from lack of food.
Seventeen guns, 42 decorated

all sizes joined in the chorus. "Here
come the conquering heroes." Fol
lowing the docking ceremonies was
a parade through the principal streets
with distinguished visitors riding in

Athens, July 28. Greek military
operations have been relatively

the rapidity of the Greek move
