VIENNA, March 25—The strange career of Dr. Ernest Watzl, monocled Cleveland chemist and inventor, was jeced together by police of two con- a‘nenu today, while the inventor’s body awaited claimants at a morgue here. The body was found yesterday in & dowdy room of a hotel with a bullet through the heart. In the same room, and belleved to have been shot by Watsl before he ended his own life, was_the body of a woman known here as Josefa Kropej, but thought possibly to be Mrs. Mary McGranahan of Cleve- land. The woman was said to have joined Watzl in Europe and to have come to Vienna with him. ‘Among the effects of the two, who were believed to have been dead since before midnight Sunday, when Watal's insurance policies would have expired, ‘were letters to various people in differ- ent countries, one of them to Mrs. ‘Watzl in Cleveland. Police said they believed financial difficulties caused the suicide. No Money About Bodies. There was no money whatsoever about the two bodies and in their ef- fects. They had stylish luggage, how- ever, and gave the impression of well being. They arrived here Thursday and spent their days, until Sunday, rambling about the city. There were two sets of passports between them, one in the name of Johann Flassak, which appeared to be- jong to the girl, Josefa Kropej, aged 25, who, according to the certificate, was married last December.

Gen. John H. Russell, American high commissioner in Haiti, was a “diplomatic bungler,” lead- ers of the Haitlan opposition groups yes- terday made a new plea to the Hoover Haitian Commisison that the high com- missionership be abolished as soon as possible.

We have also leased a portion of our store to the well known' firm of Witt & Hamill. As a consequence our floors are crowded to their capacity. Instead of storing these pianos to depreciate in value we have priced every instrument at greatly reduced figures and any one contemplating the purchase of a piano in the next few months cannot afford to miss the opportunity. All pianos not sold outright we are anxious to place in the homes of families who are interested in owning a piano in the immediate future, and for the valuable ad- vertising we will receive by having good families use them. We, of course, reserve the right to select homes in which the pianos are to be loaned. Positively No Charge for Anything We ask no drayage or charge of any kind on pianos so loaned.
