INDIAN SILENCE BALKS SOLUTION OF CO-ED DEATH Slayer Possibly Among the Searchers for Clews, Authorities Admit. By United Pres* WHITE RIVER, Ariz., July 28 Tha traditional suence ol the red man appeared today to have balked solution of the mysterious slaying of Henrietta Schmerler, Columbia university co-ed, who went to live among the Indians to learn about their habits and manners. More than 1,000 Apaches from the Indian reservation on which the crime took place were in the posses which searched the rugged countryside for clews, but it was freely admitted that the murderer quite possibly was among the searchers and that neither he nor his companions would talk. The weather, too, seemed to have conspired to prevent investigators from tracking down the slayer. Death Scene in Doubt A day before Miss Schmerler’s body was found in a canyon a few miles from her cabin on White River, a thunderstorm practically obliterated tracks at the scene, and washed her body for some distance down the gully. “We can not say definitely if Miss Schmerler was killed in the canyon, because there are so many different ways her body could have reached that spot,” C. D. McCauley, Navajo county attorney, declared. He intimated Miss Schmerler might have been beaten to death at some isolated spot and her body thrown into the canyon. Although no suspects are being held, suspicion hangs over practically every Indian on the reservation, it was said. Indians Are Silent The Apaches searched diligently for clews, but if they found them they remained silent and when questioned answered only in grunts. Miss Schmerler came here late in June to study the life of the Apaches and their language. Despite warnings to be careful, she mixed indiscriminately with them. On July 18, she was to have attended an Indian dance at Ft. Apache. She never was seen alive after leaving her cabin that afternoon. Her body was found last Friday, covered with knife wounds and badly bruised. m BALK AT COAL PARLEY Few Operators Interested in Hoover Flan for Conference. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, July 28.—Prospects for a conference between bituminous coal operators and striking mipers, as suggested by cabinet officers on behalf of President Hoover, appeared slim today. Invitations were sent by Secretary of Commerce Lamont and Secretary of Labor Doak to 125 operators in all parts of the country. Although they were requested to telegraph their answers, only twenty-five had replied today, according to Secretary Doak. The replies, for the most part, came from small operators. “Some favored the conference,” Doak said. “Some were unfavorable and some qualified.”

BY BEN STERN Although both principal speakers at the Second district Democratic rally at Culver Tuesday discussed national topics, the various small group conferences were devoted to local affairs. Two subjects of particular interest were the fight for district chairmanship and the number of candidates who will enter the lists for the Democratic nomination for congress. Reports were current that instead of seeking the congressional honor, State Representative Delph McKesson of Plymouth Is aiming at the district chieftainship. That means that he will be forced to tangle with Tom McConnell of Fowler, chairman of the old Tenth district and prominent legionnaire. McKesson brings to the fight the prestige of the important post he held as Democratic house floor leader in the last session, but that also entails a great deal of explaining on his part as to the open charges that his leadership was most distinguished for the lack of just that quality. Besides, Delph is said to be rather unpopular personally because of native characteristics. McConnell on the other hand had no public record to explain and he is the jovial, hail fellow well-met type bound to make many supporters. a u Clay Metskcr’s anti-prohibition address was hailed by many as a keynote for Charles Murphy’s attempt again to win the Democratic nomination for congress. Murphy was the nominee last year, but was defeated by a narrow margin by Will R. Wood, veteran Republican congressman. Through the gerrymander of the district engineered by Henry Marshall, Lafayette publisher and close friend of Wood, Lake county the stronghold of the wets, was made a district by itself, while the entire Second is intended to be rock-ribbed Republicans. Yet despite this, three others besides Murphy are said to be in the field for the Democratic congressional nomination. , a a a Those being mentioned Include Ira Tilton. Porter county chairman who is forced to call upon the state committee for aid every time the county is reorganized; Hugh Barnhart, Rochester publisher and son of Henry W. Barnhart, former Thirteenth district congressman, who ranks high in the respect of the party \Vorkers, and Dr. Guy R. Coffin, Monticello physician, who is more or less of anew figure in state politics. Additions to the. field are expected as campaign time draws nearer. From appearances of the gerrymander, running for congress as a Democrat in the Second district, unless there is a phenomenal upheaval, is about as forlorn a hope as the chances of Indiana’s football team winning the Big Ten champion next winter. Veteran, 87, Dies CONNERSVILLE. Ind., July 23. B. F. Murphy, 87, a veteran of the Civil war, died at his home here after a long illness.

GERMANY GIVEN CONFIDENCE OF WORLDPOWERS Assured by U. S., British Statesmen of Ability to Recover. BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Stall Correspondent BERLIN, July 28.—Germany's leaders worked on plans to stabilize the country’s finances today, assured by statesmen of the United States and Great Britain that the powers have strong confidence in her ability to recover. A general feeling of optimism was engendered by the visit of Henry L. Stimson, American secretary of state, and Premier J. Ramsay MacDonald and Arthur Henderson, foreign minister of Great Britain. Stimson left for London Monday, giving as a parting message his opinion that the German people would find a way out of their difficulties. MacDonald Grets Ovation His visit was followed by that of Henderson and Macdonald. MacDonald, especially was given a tumultous reception on his arrival. The two were guests at a dinner given by Chancallor Heinrich Bruening, attended by German bankers, industrialists, business men, politicians and the members of the government. MacDonald, after telling the gathering that the British visit was in return for the visit of Bruening and Foreign Minister Curtis to London, said; “Banish Suspicion” . “It also is intended to show the world that Britain’s confidence in Germahy is unabated. We are sincere admirers of the German people. Even though all her difficulties are not yet overcome, we are convinced that if Germany continues her efforts to save herself and does not allow herself to be overcome by despair, all other nations will help her and will not see her perish.” Bruening, in welcoming the visitpleaded especially that international suspicion be banished, so that all could work together for the common welfare.
