Version of Tragedy
SUICIDE THEORY ABANDONED
Paris, Sept. 13. Olive Thomas,
beautiful bride nf .Tnrk Pickford, was
not a suicide, in the opinion of Paris
police offlicinls. An nutopKy hns been
ordered to detcimlnp whether the nctress
died from poison sho took late Satur
day night a wppU ngo. or from slow
insidious drugH nduiiuisteipd previously
or tnken bj riror.
"The death is pprtninly mysterious."
said a high police official, "and the
theory of suicide hns been definitely
abandoned. Thcreforo French Justice re
quires the fullest Investigation In order
to satisfy public opinion.
"Tho body will be embalmed imme
diately after tho autopsy. If tho verdict
Is favorable, as we hope, a permit for
its shipment to America will be given
immediately."
In caso tho permit is forthcoming
at once, bhlpment to America probably
will be mndo September IS.
To the astonishment of eery one,
Jack Pifkford flew to London yester
day morning by spccnl airplane. He left
no address.
With his depnrturo all the members'
of tho party which proved fntnl to Miss
Thomas faded hastily from the scene.
Now, iu this mot remarkable mys
tery, no one can be found In Paris
willing to admit he or she ever knew
or heard of either Miss Thomas or Pick
ford. The famous party apparently was
made up of the actress alone.

Kattowitz, Upper Silesia, Sept. 13.
A grave situation, nnd one menacing
the peace of Europe, exists In upper
Sllesln today. Within a few weeks
something is going to happen In this
region that is bound to awaken the
intelligent opinion of the world to n
realization that, unless the sovereign
powers of Europe net quickly nnd
effectively, a new armed struggle on
the European continent Is iuevltnble, ns
the upper Sllesian foment contains nil
the rlpments of n fresh war.
Two peoples, the Poles nnd Germnns,
nro living together in n seething cauld
ron of national hatred, under which
the flnme is kept nt n white heat by a
religious bigotry nnd superstition that
is nothing short of medieval. The ter
ror of the mob reigns supreme over n
region thnt is as large u Belgium and
where there nre more inhabitants to the
squaro kilometer than in nny other
country of Europe.
In the face of nil that lawlessness and
violence, the Interallied commission,
chnrged with a mandate for governing
the province, stands virtually helpless.

mnfo companions today on the occa
sion of the biennial state election.
Tho indicntlons nre thnt tho largest
vote iu the history of the state will be
polled, because of the largo registra
tion of both men and women. The
lenders' of both parties were astounded
nt tho size of thp fpmnlo rpelHtrntlnn.

Republicans Predict 30,000 Majority
The Republicans, who have conducted -nn
aggressive and well -organized cam
paign, predict that they will carry the
Btate by at least 30.000. It is sixteen
years since they have rolled up a
plurality even approaching that figure,
and ordinarily they have been content
with one-half of it. Their greatest
plurality was in 1800. when thev car
ried the state by 48,000. Tho Demo
crats have quoted no figures, but claim
victory ''by a small majority."
Tho Democrnt state organization
has not waged so aggressive a cam
paign as the Republicans, and in
organization has pleaded lack of
funds, but like tho Republicans, it
hnd had the speaking services of soma
of the ablest members of the national
organization. Among them have' been
Franklin D. Roosevelt, candidate for
Vice President; Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, former Secretnry of the Treas
ury William G. McAdoo, and Homer S. '
Cummings, of Connecticut.
The Republican speakers have In
cluded Governor Coolidge, of Massa
chusetts, candidate for Vice President:
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts and
Senator Frcllnghuyscn, of New Jersey.
Many renresentatives In rVimrrp
and political leaders from other states
also havo stumped the Btate for both '
parties.

the Lcagueof Nations. The Republican
position-on tne league has been in sup--port
of tho Sennte's refusal to ratify
the treaty "without reservations de
signed to protect the safety, sovereignty
and independence of the United States."
The Democrats have declared for
prompt ratification without reservations
"destructive to the spirit and effective
operation of the treaty."
Tho Importance of tho issues and the
prominence of the speakers have 'at
tracted largo and serious audiences,
and nil indications point to a heavy
vote.
The Republican candidate for gover
nor is Frederic II. Pnrkhurst. of Ban
gor. His Democratic opponent, is
Bertrand G. Mclntyre, of Norway,
whom Governor Carl E. MUllken de
feated in the election two years ago.
Parkhurst has been n member of both
branches of the Legislature, and' Is a
former chnirmnn of the Bepublicnn state
committee. Mclntyre hns served in the
Legislature and ns sheriff of Oxford
countv nnd for six years was chairman
of the Bqard of State Assessors.
Maine has gone consistently Repub
lican In its state elections since 1882, .
cacept in 1010 nnd in 1014. Tho phi
rnlity Iras averaged about 18,000 and
tho tradition has been that 10,000 plu
rality pointed to success for the na
tional ticket in November. The Repub-,
lican plurality in 1010 was 13,830, but
in November Hughes had only C44T
votes more than President Wilson In
the state, and the Democrats earned the
country. Yet in 101 S Governor Millt
ken defeated the Democratic caudldato
by only S515, nnd thnt year saw Re
publican buccess in the congressional
elections in the country. The total vote
in the stnte. however, wns only 121,600,
nearly 30,000 less thnu In 1010.

The forecast is for fair weather.
