THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON TUESDAY, JULY 27, 1C20. TRUNK HERS STILL MYSTERY, AS TANGLES DEVELOP Detroit, July 27. (I. N. S.) Tan gled threads of circumstance, gath . ered from all over the United States in the Detroit-New York murder ' trunk mystery have only served to add knots to the most baffling case ever faced by the detroit police de- partment. police Commissioner James W. Inches admitted today. Beginning with only one r fact that the body of a murdered woman had beenshlpped from this city some time in Juner-the homicide Squad,, by , per sonal. Investigation and wired reports from a dosen" police departments, has Identified the murdered woman as Mrs. Kathertne Jaekson-Leroy,! and the , mur derer as Eugene lroy, her husband, to their own satisfaction. ... ., V. MOTIVE IS MVSTEBY ' 'A motive for the murder, where when and how tt was "committed, and how the missing vital organs were dis posed of, are mysteries still unraveled snd further complicated by. conflicting ' clues. ' ' Due to the widespread publicity being given the mystery, police last nightJ and today received dosens or telegrams concerning the murdered woman and Ieroy. and discovered two men who formerly worked with Leroy in Detroit automobile factories.-" Information' thus obtained alternately cleared and ' mud dled existing theories and surmises. Just before leaving for New York city to clear up all possible doubt that the murdered woman was Katherine Jackson-Leroy, Mrs. Marie Trumbull, friend of Mrs. Leroy. Is said to have told the police that on June 1- Mrs, Leroy confided In her that she was to become a mother. THEORY ADVANCED -. Due to Mrs. Trumbull's revelation, the theory that the woman died as a result of a criminal operation gained strength. - . At the same time Information re ceived from Fred Stockmore, who 'worked with Leroy at the Disco com pany, and other information given by Mrs. Trumbull, tended to give more credence to the theory that the hus band had killed Mrs. Leroy in a Jeal .ous rage when he believed she was about to return to Alabama with Allan K. Tatum, a former sweetheart. -According to Stockmore, - Leroy told him that his home was In New York city, that he had a wife and .2-year-old child there, and that his father had formerly been a wholesale liquor deal er. - Stockmore' says he always talked to Leroy In Yiddish, and' that Leroy had boasted he was living with a woman not his wife here. VS 10 HIT PROFITEERING (ComtJnwd Front Tttm Ob a boy Coolidge worked on the family homestead. Governor Coolldire spoke. as follows :v -To your now. formal notification, ' I respond with formal acceptance. Your presence tells me of a leader and a cause -a leader in Warren G. Harding, the united choice of a united party, a states man of ability, seasoned by experience, a fitting representative of the common aspirations of his fellow citizens, wise enough to seek counsel, great enough to rixognlse merit and in ail things a stalwart America. GOVERNMENT'S! DUTY No one In public life can be oblivious to the organised efforts to undermine the 'faith of our people in their govern ment, foment discord, aggravate indus trial strife, stifle production, and ulti mately stir up revolution. The first duty of the government ia to repress them. To a free people, the most reactionary experience, short of revolutionary, is war. The greatest need of the nation at the present time is to be rescued from all the reactions of the war. The property of the nation is In the hands of the people when it is "under their ownership and control. It is true that the control of a part of the prop erty taken for war purposes has been returned, but there hangs over private enterprise still the menace of seizure, blighting in its effect, paralysing in its result, to the public detriment. But it matters not whether property be taken by seizure or -through the process of taxation for extravagant and unneces sary expenditures, there should be an end to both operations. Either the peo ple must own the government or -the government will own the people, LAW 18 SUPREME . Another source of the gravest public concern has been the reactionary ten dency to substitute private will for the public will The observance of the law is the greatest solvent of public ills. There is yet another manifest dispo sition which has preyed on the weakness of the race from Ita infancythe' at tempt to create class distinctions. There are no classes here. The government must look at the part in the light of the whole, that legislation must be directed not for private interests but for public welfare. The mounting prices of all sorts of commodities has put a wellnigh - un bearable burden on every home. Much or this is beyond relief from law J but the torces of the. government cwnand nuet afford a considerable remedy ine most obvious place to besln re COQLIDGE FOR LA trenchment Is by eliminating the ex travagance of " the government Itself. The extravagant standards bred of re cent years must be eliminated. , This should 'show immediately in reduced taxation. That great breeder of public and private extravagance, the exeess profit tax. should be revised and re course had to customs taxes on imports, one of the most wholesome of all means or raising revenue,, . PROFITEERING SCORED There has been profiteering. It should b Duniahe4- because it is wrong. But it is Idle to look to such action for re lief. : As everyone knows now, the dif Iculty Is caused by a scarcity of material, an absence of money and Insufficient pro duction.' The government must reduce the amount of money as fast as possible. without curtailing necessary credits. Production must be Increased. One of the chief hindrances to pro duction is lack of adequate railroad facilities. Transportation must be re established. A few glaring instances in the past or improper t management. Joined with an improper public - atti tude thereby created, wrought great narm to our railroads. Government ope' ration left them disintegrated, disor ganized and demoralized. They must be provided, with credit and capital and given the power to serve. Their em ployes must be compensated in accord ance wit n tne great importance or the service they render. There must be a different public atti tude toward Industry, a larger compre hension of the inter-dependence of capi tal, management and labor, and better facilities lor the prompt and reasonable adjustment of industrial disputes. The farmers need an enlarged power of or ganization whereby the original pro ducer may profit to a larger degree bv the high prices paid for his produce by ine ultimate consumer, and at ine same time decrease the , cost of food. . The economic strength, of a country rests on the farm. . -. ---j ; . PEACE BASIS DEFINED ur- an things a return to a peace nasis aoea not mean tne oasis or 1M14. That day Is gone.; It Is a peace basis of the present, higher, nobler, because of the sacrifices made and the duties assumed. It Is not a retreat, it is a new summons to advance. Diminishing , resources warn us of the necessity of conservation. .The public domain is the property of the people. It is held in trust for present and future generations. The material resources of our country are very great, but they are not inexhaustible. - Whenever in the future this nation undertaken to assess its strength and re sources, the largest, item will be the roll of those who served - her In every patriotic capacity In the world war. The presence of the living example of the dead will ever stand guaranty of the stability of our republic Duty com pels that those promises, so freely made, be speedily redeemed. Care of depend ents, relief from i distress, " restoration from infirmity, provision for education, honorable preferment in the public serv ice, a helping hand everywhere are theirs, not as a favor, but by right. Ample opportunity for education at public expense, reasonable hours of em ployment, always under sanitary con ditions, a fair and always living wage for faithful work, healthful living con ditions, childhood and motherhood cherished,- honored." rescued from the grasp of all selfishness and rededi cated to the noblest aspiration of the racethese are not socialistic vagar ies, but the mark , of an advancing American civilization, revealed in larger social justice, tempered with an abound ing mercy. There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Surely they hold the double title of citizenship, by birth and by conquest, to be relieved from all imposition, to be defended from lynch ing and to be freely granted equal op portunities. ) , Kqual suffrage, for which I have al ways voted, is coming. The party stands pledged to use its ; endeavors to hasten ratification. .. y . The foreign relations of our country ought Hot to be partisan, but American. The country cannot be securely re stored to a peace basis in anything until a peace is first made with those with' whom we have been at war. Our party stands pledged--to make an Imme diate peace as soon as it is given power by-the people.
