MYSTERY IN DEATHS

Many Women Missinf After Connection iWith Man Who Took "His Own Life.

DETROIT,- Mich., April J7.—Anita Schmidt, the woman' who came to America as the wife of Helmuth Schmidt, and Margaret Darsch, who lived with Schmidt at Lakewood, N. J., were today added to-the list of women entangled in thv mystery surrounding the man who last Tuesday took liis own life in the Highland Park jail after confessing that ho had burned the bdv o Augusta Steinbach, after she had swallowed poison at h.is home.

This information developed after questioning by authorities of Mrs. Adela Ulrich-Brauu, who married Schmidt, then known as ^raun, at I.-akewood. in 1914, and Certrude, Schmidt's 17-year-old daughter.

According to the girl there w?s a love affair between her father and the Darsch woman which developed shortlv before her mother disappeared, Schmidt told his daughter that her mother Anita Schmidt, had returned to Germany. Shortly afterward, when Miss Darsch disappeared. Schmidt explained to his daughter that «he had "married ami gone to Denmark."

Thus far the police have been unable to trace Schmidt'* first wife Margaret Darsch, or Irma Pallatinus, the latter having disappeared after becoming S hmidt's housekeeper at his fioma here.

Mrs. T'lrich TJrattn, who came here to claim the body of the dead man,- permitted Schmidt's daughter to take charge of the funeral arrangements when told that such action would not jeopardize her widows rights to Schmidt's estate or thf* $3,500 which she contends he stole from her before and- after their"'!marriage.

Schmidt purchased the property hAe under the name of Braun, with $3,500 turned over to him by Miss Adele Ulrlch, with whom Schmidt, und*r the name of Braun, arrived in Lakewood in 1914, after his marriage to her in New York City where he met her through a matrimonial advertisement.

Factories for the manufacture of certain types of machines are springing up from 1'etrograd to Moscow not to mention those already in existence which are, *r soon will be German."

According to Belvah Bebow.

years

old, of Chicago, who was visiting the Moshers, she and Blanche Mosher returned home shortly after midnight from a party and found Mosher dead on the floor -with Austin standing over him with a blopdy axe. Shouting thPt he intended to kill the entire Mosher family. Austin attacked arid killed Blanche. He then told the Bebow girl he waq going to Victor to kill Mrs. Mosher, who was ill there.

She begged him, she says, to wait until morning, when she would go wjth him. Austin agreed to this plan, and early this morning they started. Upon the approach of a trolley car the girl says she ran from Austin, boarded the car and collapsed.

Upon recovering consciousness she told the story of the tragedy to the conductor, who -notified the sheriiT.

RAILROAD REPORTS MUCH IDLE LABOR IN THE SOUTH

Saya Ten Per Cent of Negroes Are Hot Working In Face of Heavy Demands.

CHICAGO, April 27.—Vice President T. J. Foley, of the Illinois Central, estimates that ten per cent of the labor supply of'the south is idle at this" time.

He makes the estimate in a letter addressed to all agents of the line, made public today. His observations were the fruit of a trip of inspection along the line. In

the course of his

letter he says: "Passing through the towns 1 saw enough idle labor standing around the depots gazing at \he'trains to supply the needs of thin company, as well as a good many farms and industries. At one town of approximately .1,200 inhabitants, 1 saw 55 colored men standing at the depot. At another town of 5.000 I counted 165 colored rtiales. At another place of 500 inhabitants 1 counted 165 colored males. At another place of 500 inhabitants I counted 23 at the depot jrtanding around with their hands in their pockets. The thought occurred to me that about 10 per cent of the labor teupply of the south is idle at this critical time. 'An aroused public opinion in each community against idling In my opinion would have a most salutary effect."

Mr. Foley calls upon his agents to take the initiative in arousing a public sentiment which will drive idlers to work.
