March 4, is looked upon by Mr.
Ccolidge, his spokesmen assert as
presenting the same situation, in
sofar as he is concerned, as the
leadership in the senate. Repre
sentatives Madden, of Illinois, and
Longworth, "oT Ohio, are the mem
bers most frequently mentioned at
present to succeed Speaker Gil
lett.

LEASED WIRE SERVICE,
SENATE LEADERS
TO SEEK QUICK
WORK ON 810
MEASURES
WASHINGTON—The senate with
its return ''to work Monday, De
cember 1, will find on its legisla
tive calendar two bills regarded
by the administration as of prime
importance. One is the second de
ficiency appropriation bill and the
other a naval construction bill.
Senate leaders will attempt to
obtain speedy action on both.
The deficiency measure would
make available approximately $150.-
000,000. Of this amount $132,000,000
would be to cover expenses in
cidental to putting into operation
the payment of the soldier bonus.
Another large appropriation would
be for the coast guard service. Al
though both the bonus and the
coast guard work was carried out,
the money for this purpose was
taken from funds which happened
to be available and the measure
now must be enacsed to replace this
money.
It was over a provision ot the
deficiency bill that a table devel
oped in the closing hours of the last
session that deadlocked legislation
in the senate. Because of the in
clusion of appropriations for cer
tain irrigation projects and ex
clusion of others, Senator Pittman,
Democrat, Nevada. The naval bill
would authorize the construction of
eight cruiser and six gunboats and
the conversion of several coai burn
ing battleships into oil burners.
The measue, as ‘did the dificlency
bill, received favorable action by
house. It is the belief that the naval
bill will he brought up for early
action and pobably will be the only
piece of large naval construction
authorized by the present congress.
Chairman Buter of the house naval
committee, believes further naval
construction probably will not he
considered at the coming session.

New Angle in
Investigation
Into Death of
Pastor’s Wife
COLUMBUS, Ohio—A prelimi
nary report of an analytical chemist,
setting forth that Addis Shaatalay,
fifty, whose practically cremated
body was found in tha furnace of
the Christ Lutheran church parson
age in Baxley Monday by her hus
band, the Rev. C. V. Shaatalay, was
dead whan aha entered tha fire
chamber, Saturday caused County
Prosecutor John R. King to puah
forward hia investigation with re
newed vigor.
Abaence of any trace of carbon
monoxide poisoning in blood taken
fromthe lungs of the viotim, chem
ist, C. F. Long said in his findings
to Prosecutor King, resulted in hia
oonclusion that she had ceased to
breathe before her body entered
the chamber,
NO TRACE OF ASH
DUST IN LUNGS
He explained that had she breath
ed her lungs would have become
filled with the carbon monoxide
which would have been absorbed by
the blood. Dr. Long said both lungs
revealed intense congestion. Indicat
ing either strangulation or suffoca-
Ition. No trace of ash dust was
found in the lungs.
Examination of a section of the
stomach wall and a bit of the
oesophagus for poison resulted in
negative findings, he asserted. A
bottle of poison, authorities say,
is missing from the Sheatsley home.
Prosecutor King today had not
revealed what his next step in th e
effort to clear up the mystery
might be. With Detective Harry
Carson he returned late Friday
night from Canton, where they
questioned relatives of Mrs. Shoftts
ley, who he said did not belljv/
she committed suicide.
On Wednesday the minister told
the prosecutor that he had come
to the conclusion that his wife com
mitted suicide by casting he*self
into the furnace, after she had
become violently insane.
During his examination Tuesday
Mr. King seid the minister express
ed the conviction that his wife had j
been murdered.
Dr. H. M. Brunduge, of Columbus,
Saturday will begin a pathological
examination of the vital organs
turned over to him Friday by Mr.
Long, which it was intimated may
be productive of additional infor- ;
mation having a direct bearing on
the case. A hasty examination by
Dr. Brundage, so far has borne out
his findings, Mr. Long said.
