PARENTS DISTRACTED
A b.iining "boat mystery" thnt con- : fronted    Harvey's     I^ake     authorities j since  Wednesday^ haa  been  solved  by po.sltive   Identlllc-itlon   of   the   woman j who was .seen  in a row bont drifting I around tho lake for eight hours.    The ! woman In the mysterious ca.se Is Mrs. ! O.scar I.udwig of .'i.'i West Union street. j She suffered a slight  mental  disorder on Tuesday and wandered to thc lnke i region .-ml thence back to her home, I arriving here on  Thurisday.    Authori¬ ties harl belief that  the womnn might have   f.'illen   Into  the   water  .ind   were I ahout to drag tho  lnke,  their anxiety being due  to  the  finding ot the  boat empty excepting for some personal be- ! longings which  Mrs.   Ludwig  left  be¬ hind. Including a photo and some arti¬ cles from a vanity case.
Mr.s. 'Ludwig dispassionately told ot her experience soon after the return to this city. According to her husbnnd, the couple left their rooming hou.se nt West Union stret address enrly Tues¬ day morning. At the Sterling Hotel. Mrs. Ludwig told her husbnnd she wanted to .see certain parties on the Wost Side anl .started across the West JIarket atreet bridge. The husband did not notice any mental disorder nt the time nnd walked toward Public Square where he had somo business to conduct.
When Mr. Ludwig returned to the rooming house late that night he did not flnd his wife at home. Growing alarmed he queried other occupants of the house and was told that his wife did not return since ahe left early thnt morning. Since, the hus¬ band has conducted an untiring search.
On  Thursday  afternoon   Mrs.   Lud¬ wig arrived  at  the  rooming houae  In [ I,. J ,    J   „.,,        _,   -       , a rather normal condition  and  told a

the hazy atmosphere she hod been In for the previous forty-eight  hours. W.illied To I,ake
The husband stated last night that his wife told him th.at .shortly .nfter leaving him at thc Sterling Hotel on Tuesilay she lost her memory and bearings and continued to walk until nightfixll, %vhen she went up onto a porch and slept for the night. The following morning the womnn walked all the way to Harvey's Lake, arriv¬ ing there early Wednesday morning. Sho clearly recalled entering the boat hou.se of the Derr family but Is not sure of how she got into the boat. The woman recalls being out on the lake nnd, not knowing how to row a boat, wns handicniiped to reach shore. She related that her memory came back some time during Wednesday and ahe succeeded in reaching the north shore of the l.ake.
After alighting trom the boat she returned to the Derr boat house where she had left her pur.se and n number of other articles Including a photo¬ graph ot her grandmother and self. Learning they had di.ssappeared the woman started to walk toiward Wllkes- Barre. She doesn't know where sho slept on Wednesday nlr.ht.
She recalls having met a man whom she did not know and who gave her thirty-five cents to ride a trolley car to DalUus. Instead ot using the money for nillroad fare she purchased feome hot weeners and later continued to walk toward the city. A kind-hearted motorist picked her up and returned her to thla city on Thursday. Once arriving here she said hor memory waa reatorcd and she then went directly to her home, where ahe haa been since.
Rends  of  Disappearance
Last night Mrs. Ludwig asked her husband to purchase a copy ot the Times Leader as she wn,s Interested In a aerial .story running In that news¬ paper. The husband aecured the newspaper and gave It to his wife. The first thing she observed waa a "boat my.stery" story which carried In conjunction a photograph ot her grandmother, the late Mra. Lafayette Stout, and her.self. She called at¬ tention of her husband to the report and regretted having, caused him any embarras.sment he might suffer by the publicity.

Montcl.alr, N. J., Sept. 5.—A young man, the son of a wealthy family of Montclalr, and who at one time was an Inmate ot an asylum, was question¬ ed tonight by police In connection with the kidnapping ot six year old Mary Daly and the murder of Raymond Pierce,   negro   ch.aufteur.
No charge wius flled against the man, but Chief of Police Edward Reilly questioned him clo.sely about his move¬ ments ye.sterday. He wns reported to have been .seen yeaterday near the spot In Cedar Grove where Pierce's body was found.
A check of n nearby lns.ane hospital and all jails of this locality wa.s mado tonlKht in an effort to pl.ace the Mame for the kidnapping of 6 yer old Mary Dtily by an escaped maniac or con¬ vict.

Bloodhounds were brought to the search from the SUite I'enltentiary. .K detail of policemen and fifty boy scouts have left hero for Bear Cave, about six and a half miles away, near the spot where the car was found. The cave, dank and malodorou.s seldom has been fully explored nnd the expe¬ dition Is being made on the theory thnt Mary may have been killed by her abductor and the body placed In the foul  recesses ot the cavern.
The kidnapper's car was abandoned on a little u.sed dirt road in tho Gap, a sparsely populated dlatrict. A note had been left nt a railroad station here by a man who had refused to give his name. The note merely said there waa an abandoned automobile In Van Gllson's Gap. There was no signa¬ ture.
Angry Posses In Pursuit
Identification of the car waa made at once. It wus from this niachlne that Pierce's body was dragged and placed In a clump of bushes four hours before Mary, playing with three tiny companion.s, wi^s snatched up by a dark-skinned white man and whisked away. It was from this car that a shot   waa   fired   during  a   mad   chaae

Plans To End Strike
Philadelphia. Pa., Sept. 6.—<3ovemor Plnchot of Penns.vlvania Is expected to intervene to put nn end to tho an¬ thracite strike, according to a report In coal circles todny. No dato waa aet tor tho Governor's action, but It wiw said he would Invite both aides to Harrisburg nt the proper time.
Osten.slbly on a visit to st.ate Insti¬ tutions, tho Governor Is l)elk'ved to be engaged In a preliminary campaign for the senatorl.al nomln.atlon. Ho In expected formnlly to announco his candidncy aa ^ rival ot Senator Pep¬ per after tho county primaries on September 15.
The senatorial race la an appendage of tho anthracite strike. Political cir¬ cles np! speculating on the possibility of Senator Popper taking a hnnd be¬ fore Plnchot haa had time to act. A mine leader well Informed on the po¬ litical  situation  todny .said:
"Pepper and Pinchot are watching each other like two hawk.<i. waiting to seo which onpe shows signs of making the llr.st move."
Senator Pepper Is expected to re¬ turn to I'hiladeliihla from a vncation In the Malno wooda on Sept. 10. IJe wil confer with his friends nnd then acquaint himself with developments during his absence. Some shrewil po¬ litical leaders are said to tie of the opinion that he would do well not to Interveno unle.ss he Is fairly sntlsned that nny plan which he may suggest will, Insuhstance, win the approval of miners and operators.
Opposed I5y Operatord
Oovernor I'inchot will not act until he Is assured that the federal author¬ ities have no solution beyond urging the puhlic to use substitutes, thn be¬ lief is here. His friends Bay that he is following exactly the same policy that he followed two years ago when he refrniner] from Intervening so long aa tho subject waa In the prealdent'a handa.
After learning that the admlnLstra- tion hnd no plan further than to edu¬ cato the public In tho use of bUuml- noua coal and other substitutes, the governor summoned both sides to Harri.sburg.
He then Intervened on the ground that the 1922 atrlke had caused 6.000 extra deaths In Pennsylvania alone and had Inllicted great misery and hardship on the people ot New Eng¬ land and the middle Atlantic states.
This year Governor I'inchot Is op¬ posed by the operators, who have placed him on their list of "undesir¬ ables" because ho granted the mine workers a wage Increase two yeara ago, and followed it up by publicly declaring that In his opinion the oper¬ ators were pitrt of 'a hard-lxilled monopoly, whcse prime Interest In the public Is that It shall consume their coal at their i.rice."
However much they may grumble If Invited to Harrisburg, It la report¬ ed, the operators will be obllKcd to go to the capital If requested by tho state's chief executive.

AnioiiK the victims are the b/ide and hridejrroom. Several of the persons who wore stricken ill voiced the opinion that the food was purposely contamin¬ ated by the woman who is dead but the cause of the death and the illness will not bo determined until an investigation is ordered by the coi'oner.
The dead woman is Mrs. Catherine Yarris, aged 60, of Georgetown.
Those seriously ill:

Paul Metro, aged 30, of Madison street, near Chestnut street.
Fred Peredniss, aged 30. of 68 Johnson street.
At least seven other guests were removed to their homes, all suffering from apparently the same ailment.
The Yarris woman died in Wilkes-Barre General Hospital last night at 11 :,'50 shortly aftor she had been admitted to the institution. HospLial authorities did not attpmpt to diagnose the case and immediately communicated With the coroner.
Food Is Suspected
Shortly after tho doath of the woman word was received at polico head(iuartoi's that a number of guests who had at¬ tended a wedding party at 751 Nortli Washington street were violently ill and it was announced that it was the belief that the guests had been fed poisoned food. While the police were on the way to the IJrookside section, Teresa Kinipko, who had suffcretl mild pains during the early evoning, was suddenl.y stricken by vomiting attacks and convulsions and was rushed to the hospital.
Tho possibility that thc food had boon poisoned was ad¬ vanced by Steven Patrick, formerly of 271 North Washington streot. who was married .\esterday moming in the Russian Church on North ]\Iain strct to Miss Anna Bolagash, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Bolagash of 751 North Washington street.
Patrick snld that yesterday about noon the bridal party came to the bride's homo .and iinparel for a feast. The brido said that Mrs. Catherine ¦\*arrls of Georgetov.-n had been en¬ gaged to prepare thn meal, sho hav¬ ing been recommended by several per¬ sons In the Brookslde section as an ex¬ pert cateresa.
.Su.speclcd a Joko
Patrick .s.ald that when he nnd his brldo were about to alt at the table for the noon meal, Mra. Yarris desig¬ nated plates that ho nnd his wife should take. I'atrlik explained that his wife winked at him and suspect¬ ing something they both went away from the table and that two other persons  sat  at the  designated  places.
The couple later returned to the table and had something to eat. After he had eaten some chicken. Patrick said he was aelzed with a terrific head¬ ache and that he went to retire. So vollent were the pains Patrick sal<l he waa compelled to get up and walk ahoMt. He suld that It wa-s imnc than six   houra  before   no  felt   right.
A second meal wa.s served by the woman last night, following which dancing was enjoyed. The guests said that beer and liquor had been consumed but that the Imbibers did not seem to be any the worse for drinking the stuff.
Woman Fulls Dead
Shortly before 11 o'clock, Mrs. 'i'ar- rls, according to Mrs. Michael Balo- gash, mother of the bride, was stand¬ ing nt 1*ie fea-st table when she sud¬ denly put her hands on her breast and bent her head bacUwaiil.   She fell
to the floor and attracted the attention of tho per.sons who were dancing In the front of tho house. A neighbor put tho woman In his automobile and rushed her to the hospital where sho died iK'tore she could bo submitted to an examination. Hospital Internes voiced tho opinion that the death might have been due to a heart con¬ dition but .said that such .sudden death could bo caused by poisoning.
Mra. Frank Rubinko. aged SO, of Eaat Chestnut street, said that she became suddenly 111 ye.sterday after¬ noon at 1 o'clo'ck and Immediately went to her home. Mrs. Ilublnko was one of the attendants at the wedding. She said she ate u piece ot portt chop fried In cracker and eggs and drank a bottle of soila water. On reaching her home she said she suffered from Intense .stomach palna and drank sal- aratus water to clear her stomlch. Motive L'nknowii
Shaking and nervous she went to her bed and refused to let her family call .a physiclLiri. When the polico vis¬ ited the home at 1 o'clock they insist¬ ed that a physician be called to diagnose the woman's case. She ex¬ pressed the cplnlon that the food had been contaminated or had been pur¬ posely poisoned but did not know that ather persons who attended the wed¬ ding were ill. She told ot Mrs. 'Varrla preparing the food for the feast but aaid that she had never seen the wo¬ man before.
