NAO MURDER
Copyright. 1922, by the ' New Tor

'.. BERLIN, June 26. (Special
t cable.) Numerous arrests have been
4', made throughout the country, but
Z the question of -who killed Foreign
Minister Rathenau is as much a
I puzzle as ever. Special attention Is
being paid to arresting all members
of the secret "organization" com-
, posed of the ex-members of Captain
- Ehrhard's brigade, which was also
Z suspected of the (murder of Mathias
- Erzberger.
"- The suspicion is now growing that
: Russian monarchists, not German
'- reactionaries, may have been respon
" eible for the murder. The Russians
are said to have been furious at Dr.
-' Rathenau for signing the Rapallo
treaty with the Soviets. This ver
. eioa of the assassination Is e&pe
7. daily popular in industrial circles.
The chief witness of the affair, a
" Potsdam forester, also describes the
' murderers as of foreign appearance.
T Loss Regretted by All.
r Opinions as to Rathenau, the
-statesman, philosopher and business
... man, vary widely, but all, including
the leading German industrials,
v whose sympathy for monarchlsm is
! no secret, regret the loss of an irre
placeable citizen.
Rathenau's death, Alfred Hanmel,
iT one of the industrial leaders, said
today, "is an immeasurable loss to
Germany and especially severe from
a foreign political point of view.
' From a party political standpoint it
is significant because a switch to
the left is sure to follow."
',4 "In describing Rathenau I will
use the words of a well-known Ber
. lin banker Rathenau resembles a
'. magnificent tree bearing splendid
blossoms but no fruit. Rathenau
' was a powerful man, but he lost
himself in personal esteem."
.-' Hanniel was one of the leading
- economic opponents of the foreign
; minister.
- Policy Is Not Shared.
August Thyseen, the German ttesl
king, says:
' "Like most German industrials I
- did not share Rathenau's policy. We
' ell opposed him in his socialization
- plans. He wanted us to increase
i production, but he could not break
: the eight-hour day because he was
- too closely tied to the socialists."
"The greatest technical genius in
Germany," was Hugo Stinnes" ver
sion. "No one had such a prophetic
conception regarding the develop-
ment of modem science as Rathe-
ji.au. His greatest weakness was his
esthetic attitude toward all things,
including politics."

Some Delegates Fear Persistence
' of Bolsheviki May Imperil
The Hague Conference.
THE HAGUE, June 26. (By the
Associated Press.) Bolshevik Rus
sia wants credits before anything
else. . This pronouncement was made
tonight by Maxim Litvinoff, head of
the Russian delegation, which ar
rived here today, in his first state
ment to the press and it has created
consternation among the representa
tives of the European countries
here, because they had virtually
agreed to discuss credits last of all
after some tentative accord naa
been reached on the questions of
private property and Russian debts.
Some of the delegates believe that
persistence of the bolsheviki in this
attitude may imperil the conference
they ooint out there can be no seri
ous conversations about lending
money or opening credits until some
satisfaction is first obtained con
cerning property and debts. Belgium
and France will be the first to op
pose the soviet procedure.
The eve of the conference, there
fore, has produced a thorny issue.
which only adherence to the policy
of calmly and patiently listening to
the bolshevik spokesmen can save
from wrecking the conference at an
early date.
The Russians have further an
nounced that as they have ' only
three delegates they cannot split
into sub-commissions but must all
go together to the various meetings.
This upsets plans which were
arranged before the Russians ar
rived and will probably necessitate
further sessions of non-Russian
delegates, to readjust the formation
of the conference.
BLAST SCATTERS FLAMES IN
' ALL DIRECTIONS.
Donkey Engines Loaded Onto Flat
r- Cars and Rushed From Dan
ger Zone Near Montesano.
- MONTESANO, Wash., June 26.
(Special.) Forest fires which start
ed from blastings at Clemons Log
ging company camp 3, across the
Chehalis river from Montesano,
about 11 o'clock yesterday morning
destroyed about 6,000,000 feet of
down timber, seven camp cars and
various camp buildings before it
could be controlled. The monetary
loss is estimated by Frank Byles,
manager of the company, to be
nearly $30,000.
Donkey engines in the woods
were hauled out of the danger zone
or loaded on flat cars and taken out
of the woods and back-firing begun
as soon as the men could be col
lected. The fire fighting continued
all night and this morning the fire
was well under control.
The fires started from a long fuse
attached to a blast where the men
were clearing for a landing, and
when the explosion took place the
fire was thrown in every direction.
It spread so rapidly in so many dif
ferent places the few men who
were working could not put it out
The timber that was destroyed had
been felled and bucked and was
ready for shipment to the mills.
The Saginaw Timber company,
whose holdings adjoin those of the
Clemons company, suffered slight
losses, but the fire did not get into
the standing green timber.
The danger of forest fires now
here is exceedingly great, as the
woods are very dry and a steady
west wind fans every small flame.
OLYMPIA, WashZ June 26. (Spe
cial.) Fire damaged the workings
or tne Wynochee Timber company,
north of Montesano, while another
was reported in the timber near the
headwaters of the Humptullps river

The big fire which swept the Ker
riston district in King county three
weeks ago has left a number of lin
gering blazes which are threatening
to break out anew, Mr. Pape said.
A warden reported from Castle
i Rock today that the big fire which
has been raging in green timber on
the Coweeman river, east of Castle
Rock, for the past four weeks, was
now well under- control.

A divorce and disposition 0f three
minor children, according to deci
sion of the court, is asked by Robert

nors of the local City club at the

FISTIC DEATH IS PROBED
KERN NOT RESPONSIBLE,
CORONER'S JURY HOLDS.
Verdict Not : to Interfere With
.Manslaughter Charge as Re- "
suit of Cushmore Dying. "
. F. G'. Kern was held not respon
sible for the death of Edward Cush
more, 64-year-old piano polisher, in
a verdict returned by the coroner's
Jury at the inquest held before Dr.
Earl Smith, coroner, last night.
Cushmore received fatal injuries in
a fight with Kern at Eilers' Music
House, Washington near Fourth, on
June 19. .
The jury "" found that Cushmore
came to his death "as the result of
a fall, his head coming in contact
with a tile flor, causing' a fracture
of the skull; such fall resulting from
a fist fight with F. G. Kern in the
office of the Eilers Music House.
'We hold no one responsible for
his death."
The fight between Kern and Cush
more resulted when the latter re
sented an epithet Kern hurled dur
ing an altercation over a mistake of
33 cents In Cushmore's pay check.
Kern is a husky young man and
Cushmore, a veteran of the Spanish
American war, was badly beaten in
the melee.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
will not interfere with the charge of
manslaughter placed against Kern
by the state. Kern will have a pre
liminary hearing on this charge be
fore Judge Ekwall in municipal
court July 6.
Mr. Cushmore will be laid to rest
with military rites today. The
United Spanish-American War Vet
erans will have charge of the cere
mony. Services will be held at the
Holman undertaking cljapel at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Interment
will be at Riverview cemetery. A

racks will render a final salute over
the grave. Mr. Cushmore served ,in

M. Dowling and Harry Carlson.
EVEREST ASCENT FAILS
.
CLIMB IS ABANDONED BY
GENERAL BRUCE.
Last 1000 Feet of Top Declared
Almost Unapproachable; Ex- "
plorers Frostbitten.' '
LONDON, June 26. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Mount Everest has
again baffled the best efforts of
man. t
The Calcutta correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph today confirms pre
vious reports that Brigadier-General
C. G. Bruce, head of the present ex
pedition, has been forced to the con
clusion that persistence in the effort
to scale the peak would result only
in useless tragedy.
General Bruce was most reluctant
to abandon further attempts., but the
condition in which the two last
climbing parties returned, the ad
vice of his medical officers and the
certainty of worse weather condi
tions dally forced him to a decision,
says the writer.
Major H. T. Morshead was the
worst sufferer from frostbite. G. L.
Mallory and another member of the
party also were badly bitten and
several others leas severely.
The correspondent quotes "one of
the greatest authorities on Hima
layas" as saying that "Bruce's glori
ous failure" has proved conclusively
that the summit is almost unattain
able. The authoritative view in In
dia is that if an expedition started
earlier in the season it might be
barely possible to reach within 1000
feet of the top, but that the last lap
could only .be covered by almost
superhuman effort, under unprece
dentedly favorable weather condi
tions and by men who faced the cer
tainty that they would never re
turn. MONACO PRINCE IS DEAD
