Joseph Passal, Posing f As Marquis, Cham- j pubert, Was Burie j Alive. , p '

LONDON. 1111s.. Oct. 7.-The wild- est imssininss oi fiction are ex- ceeded in horror by what are believed to be facts of the death near Paris cf a convicted ' " named Joseph Pascal, who posed as the Marquis Champubert. His body has been found in a lonely wood and police doctors say signs point to him having been buried alive and having died of starvation. Paris newspapers have raceiyed anonymous letters, purport- ing to some from a. secret society called the Knights Thelnis, formed to punish swindlers because it is alleg- ed the French law does not‘ punish them adequately. ‘

When Psssal was kidnapped, ac- cording to the anonymous letters, he was informed of his fate. He was told he would be buried alive, but enabled to breath so that he would live for some days in the agony of hunger. Passal was insane and only laughed, even while he watched his "m"!!! dissins his grave. He was Pili-‘od in a packing case as a coffin and the hole filled with earth, A tube

' connected the coffin with the surface

and the torturers talked to Passai throush the tube‘.

Statements in these anonymous let- ters caused the police to investigate the spot indicated.- They found a tube sticking out of the ground. Passars body two feet underneath, with in- dications that he ided from starva- tion.

CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. ’l—-To the so- companiment of all the tumult and shouting that goes with America's annual baseball carnival. the boys will go out on the firing line tomor- row to substitute fast hall and base hits for oratory and argument in the battle for the 1920 championship of the world. The Phlladdelphia Ath- letics and Chicago Cubs. rivals again for the richest of games prises after a lapse of 10 years, come to grips in the opening game with fair weath- er and s. spectacular fight expected from the outset between two fast, hard-hitting and aggressive ball clubs Unlea there is a last minute switch. Charley Root. foremost flinger of the National League, will pitch for the Cubs against big Gem-gs Earnshaw of the “A's" in s struggle between iast hall right handers. Root was definitely selected today by Manager ,Joe McCarthy as the opening game choice over Pat Malone, another rug- god right hander. Connie Mack, 67 year old chlcftain of the "A's" kept his twirling secrets to himself on ar- rival this afternoon with his team, but experts considered Earnshaw the logical choice. There was however the prospect that Mack might switch to Robert Moses Grove, his famous left hander. or so far cross up the ex- perts as to send either old (Jack Quinn or Howard Flunk to the box.

In the cast of the company several of the old favorites were recognised. as well as some new faces. Among‘ the former, Charlie Downes, the comed- ian. was very prominent, and if last night's performance was any criter- ion, he has some real laughs in store for theatre goers this week.

Miss Elena Shuts, for two seasons ingenue leading woman with the Boston Stock Co, is one of the new additions to the personnel, and ludg- ing irom last night, we look for some good things from her before the week is much older.

General Oroaier said that oi course he refused but that he wanted to trap Shearer. and therefore asked time to think the matter over. He suggested that Shearer call on him again in a few days. The general planned to have witnesses in hiding to overhear Shearers proposals on his second visit. Shearer, however, never called on the general a second time. Instead he telephoned aakins the general to meet him at his hotel. This Croaier refused to do and as Shearer declined to go to his home again, the two men never met a se- cond time.

Final Tribute To Stresemann Paid In Germany Funeral ONE-die Foreign

Berlin—Service To Country Is Lauded.

BERLIN, Oct. T-Gustav Stress- manri, Foreign Minister oi the Ger- man Republic, and an outstanding leader in efforts to bring peace and stability to war torn EuroPe- wday was buried with ceremonies shared in by Germans of all political com- plexions, except extreme Nationalists and Communists. I the roar of black str-tamered aeroq planes circling above sounded through the great Reicllstag Square? where 20,000 persons packed everyi inch of space and waited hours to pay the last honor of the nation to' the man who had worn himself out' in its service. V

Dr. Stresemann, when he died sud- denly last Thursday. was only 51! years of age. and his physicians said‘ he had repeatedly disregarded warn- ings that hls health could not standi the strain of his intensive work: Within the Reichstag the air was heavy with the scent of flowers banked about the bier, which was. flanked by tall candles on the raised dais of the President's chair. Uni- formed students formed the guards of honor. All members of the legislative body were present except those‘ of the extreme Rightland Left.

The work of Dr. Stresemann raised Germany "from helplessness back to an equal place among nations," said Chancellor Herman Mueller, as he began his eulogy.

“Dr. Stresemann will go down in history as the bulldog of Germany's resurrection. It is our task to contin- ue his work in his spirit. We have lost a good statesman and leader, who in the words of Goethe, was a man. 'and that means a fighter."

Tile funeral cortege was headed by

a corps of mounted policemen and following the body on foot. were Stresemanrfs sons, President Von Hlndenburg. Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary General of the League of Nations, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, Pres- ident of the Reichs Bank; Vice- President Von Kardorfi‘ of the Reich- stag and the entire diplomatic corps. Automobiles carried nearly 1,000 mourners, including the mother of Dr. Strcsemann and other woman relatives. o" the Way to the cemetery the procession paused for two minutes in solemn silence below the black drap- ed Window or the former office of Dr. Stresemann above the entrance to the Foreign Office in Wilhelm. stresse.

The following statement was issued in the name of President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald: "We have frankly reviewed all the questions which might give rise to friction be- tween our peoples. G-ratifying pro- gress has been made and the conver- sations are continuing." This state- ment was taken as definitely indi- cating the troublesome question of the freedom of the sees had been discussed. Both lvir. Hoover and the Prime Minister are known to feel that more fundamental than any- thing else the question of neutral rights in war time must be settled before genuine harmony can prevail between Britain and the United States.

During the morning the Prime Minister was escorted to the Senate Chamber, where he delivered a short message, after which he shook hands with the mclnibers. He made an ap-‘ peaLfor the United States and Great Britain to "gird our loins for peace," sxating that his visit to the United States legislative halls made him mil “how close akin we were." "There have been too‘ many misunderstand-i ings," the Premier continued." small, but so deplorably effective, have been existing, misunderstand- ings which do not belong to the sub- stance of things." I have come here full of confidence to reduce these misunderstandings to the substance of things and with the hope they will he completely calmed." "There can he no war," Mr. MacDonald add- od, "nay, senators, it is impossible 1i we do our duty in making the peace pact effective.
