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.

-To your now. formal notification, ' I

-a leader in Warren G. Harding, the
united choice of a united party, a states

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. J- T
