DEATH OF CHORUS GIRL MYSTERIOUS

(National Jfewa Association) SOUTHAMPTON, Eng., March 17. An inquest Into the death of Frances Leslie, the New York chorus girl who died under mysterious circumstances on the White Star liner Oceanic Saturday morning was begun here this afternoon. Witnesses were called to establish the identity of the young woman who was enroute for London to appear in a musical revue at the London Hippodrome, beginning April 1. Miss Leslie's real name was Frances Schmltz and she had sailed under the name of Miss Anna Wilson. The inquest will not be completed today, but will be continued when the Oceanic return to this port in April. In the meantime the stomach of the dead girl will be examined for traces of poison. Other members of the American troupe who were with Miss Leslie said her body was found in a washroom on board tfce Oceanic shortly before the ship entered the harbor here Saturday morning with the head stuck between the door and the jamb. Although indications were suspicious, Miss Leslie had previously informed her friends that sbe was at one time subject to epileptic fits. This gave rise to the theory that she had fallen during such a paroxysm. A cablegram from the girl's mother, however, contained an intiiratUon that a certain . man on board the ship (whose name is withheld) frad poisoned the girl. This led to a investigation which is still in progreii. Mite Bessie Clifford, another chorus girl was on the ship, said Miss Leslie vas in the best of health and spirits VP to the hour of her death. After proving the girls identity and bringing out how her body had been found, the inquest adjourned. Th Coroner set April 14 for the next aewsion of the inquest. Among those present were P. C. Currie, manager of the White Star line at Southampton,, and Col. A. W. Swallow, the United states consul.

DEFEATS CINCINNATI Earlham Team Wins Debate Saturday Night. The Earlham Debating team, consisting of II. Paul Hall, captain, Howard Elliott, and Charles meler defeated the University of Cincinnati Saturday at Cincinnati in a debate of the negative of the question: '"Resolved that the President of the United States should be elected for a term of six years and be ineligible for reelection." The judges were unanimous in their decision and the Quakers easily outclassed the Cincinnati team. The next debate will be against Albion on March 21. The team is being coached by Frof. E. P. True-blood.

Negotiations are under way with owners of the Athletic park to secure the grounds tor an exhibition game of auto polo teams before they go on the 1914 tour through European countries. Eighteen games were played at Madison Square Garden in the Fall of 1912. Auto-Polo as originated by J. J. Jones of the Jones Auto Exchange, Ford dealer at Wichita, is a new and successful completion of the old style polo in which was found so much enthusiasm among the local public. The game is being promoted by the Chicago Original Auto-Polo company through the Berthard Auto Agency, located in this city. The game as played mvler the regulation rules, of which only a few changes are made to conform .to the new style of contestants, provides for two field cars stripped to the chassis while two other cars serve as goal tenders. Each car is occupied by a driver and a jockey, who standing on the running board with a wooden mallet in hand drives a regulation size basket ball between two posts similar to the foot-ball goal. The rules provide for a field measuring 300 by 200 feet. The polo company is touring all over the country, its opening game being played at Hot Springs, Ark., on March 20. Games have already been scheduled for New Albany, Vincennes and Evansville and according to correspondences of the local promoter, Richmond is on a direct line of their tour.

SNOWBOUND TRAINS ARE MOVING TODAY Some of Them Were Blocked For 24 Hours By Blizzard in Nebraska.

PLANI'SJEAVY LOAD Capacity of Crematory May Be Augmented.

For five days ending Saturday the creamatory received more garbage than ever before and it was necessary to send 21 loads of garbage out of the city as the creamatory was unable to burn it. A total of 33 loads of wet garbage was consumed during the five days and twenty dogs were cremated during that time. Three hogs and five cats were consumed. William E. Whitacre, superintendent of the crematory stated that the over load on the plant was caused by the fact that people do not burn their combustible garbage. It is probable that plans will be made for an additional vat soon, so that the city crematory will have capacity to consume all garbage which is brought there.
