WENTZ'S BODY HAS BEEN FOUND 1 WHEN I People's Store Talks German Legislator Charged Breaches of Neutrality. With Advertisers Berlin, May 9.—In the Reichstag today, Herr Bebel denounced the government for what he termed repeated breaches of neutrality towards th Russo-Japanese war. These breaches he said, Indicated that Germany desires Russia's triumph.

Until the inquest is held and the body examined the cause of death will not be known, though the general opinion is that he was murdered. The isolation of Port Arthur is com plete.

Messages from other points are strictly censored. P1TTST0N, PENN'A. The country where the body was found was thoroughly searched last fall, and men conversant" with the facts say that during the search they were within twenty feet of the place where it was found. The understanding is that a concession of practically 10 per cent increase in wages has been granted by the company. The company's officials declino to make any statement These reports, which the car workegs believe to be truo, look absolutely certain because under the agreement with First A'ice President Percy R.
