Dundee, Scotland, Sept. 24. (By As- sociated Press)—Winston Spencer Churchill, minister for the colonies speaking here today said that the Brit- limit possible in its offer to the Sinn Fein and that if it was rejected the government had not anything else to give. ‘*We have reached the end of our tether,”” he declared Mr. Churchill said the government “‘was profoundly disappointed by De Valera’s rejection of the offer of dom- inion home rule."’ Could Enforce Law. “*Although Great Britain could un- questionably enforce the existing law; upon Ireland,” Mr. Churchill continued | *‘she none the less is called upon to clear away all possible misunderstand- ing. If our offer is rejected we have the conviction that our countrymen will support the empire as will the opinion of the civilized world." The colonial secretary said the Brit- ish government’'s offer- was generous, sincere and unanimous and could be carried into effect immediately, Alleg- lance to the king whether as king of Great Britain or of Ireland must, how- ever, be insisted upon, he declared. No Basis For Peace. ““How could we agree to the setting up of a scparate, foreign republic in Ireland?"* Mr. Churchill asked. Not peace, he said, but rea) war—not mere bush ranging—would follow such a course. ‘‘We want a conference but a successful one,’’ he declared. Ulster, Mr. Churchill said, had made a real sacrifice and no longer was a stumbling block to the rest of Ireland. He could not see real foundation for the optimism which prevailed he asserted and he still was uncertain where the Irish leaders stood. The proposed con- ference he declared, was the only thing which stood between the government and failure.

Fail to Find Tangible Clues in Solv- ing Michigan Mystery in Which Three Were Killed in Bed. Dowagiac, Mich.,. Sept. 24.—Having failed in four days of investigation to establish a motive or the identity of the murderer of William Monroe, his wife, Mary and their 17 year old daughter Neva, whose bodies \ere found in their home here last Tues- day, Cass county authorities today questioned acquaintances of the fam- ily in an effort to uncover new leads upon which they might work toward a solution of the mystery. Private detectives, engaged with a subscription fund made up by towns- people, came to the aid of local au- thorities and took up other angles of the case. The officers have discred- ited a confession to the crime made at Kalamazoop vesterday by Gus Cogan an escaped inmate of the Illinois hospital for the insane at Jackson- ville, who was detained for ques- tioning. The authorities have resumed in- vestigation of a robbery and shoot- ing near here Sunday night in an ef- fort to learn if that crime and the Monroe murders were connected. rthur Criffield, 15, a farm hand who was held up by three men and shot in the ficers to have identified Ray Smith, 18 the person who shot him. vouths apprehended with Smith, are said by the officers to answer general description of the two other members of the trio. lung, is said by the of- who lives south of Cassopolis, as Two other the "into the cellar, but says it was to tap beer and he saw nothing of Walicki’s Story. According to Walicki, he was in the saloon, a week ago yesterday morn- ing when Winkle entered, shortly after 8 o'clock. Winkle bought sev- eral drinks for the men in the place, who inciuded Kalkowksi and Ignatz Lewitski. It was about 11 o’clock, according to Walicki's statement, that' h» saw Winkle go toward the rear of tne saloon. As the man was in a rather unsteady condition, he watch- ed him, and when he went out into (he yard. the witness says, he pitch-| ed toward the stairway and then fell’ down the entire flight. Walicki fur- ther stated that on hearing the noise, Kalkowski went into the cellar, but before he returned, Walicki claims, lie left the place and returned to his nome. During the statements Walicki was asked if he had told this story to any other person. He told Sergeant Ri~hardson that his wife was the only other person in possession of his information. ‘Warned Not to Tell. Following a conference with Prose- cator Albert A. Greenberg this morn- ing, Sergeant Richardson, accompan- ied by Sergeant William C. Hart, went to the Walicki home, where Mrs. Walicki was questioned. She said that on the Friday night in queston, on her return to her home from work at the Corbin Screw corporation, her husband told her of the alleged acci- dent at the Kalowski place. Also she said that he told her he had been u-ked by the proprietor to make no| mention of it, Not Seen Friday The police investigation today brought out some salient features. Those conversant with the habits of Winkle all say that prior to the find« ing of the body last Saturday morning, many queries have been heard regard- ing his absence from his usual haunts| on Friday. It is admitted that the de- ceased real estate dealer never failed to make an appearance at either, Constable Fred Winkle's office, the Puritan Lunch Room or a nearby cigar store. There is no one that can recall his being about the above places, at any time on last Friday. { Miller’s Version : One of those who was greatly sur- prised at Winkle's non-appearance last week, is Barney Miller. According to: Mr. Miller he had an appointment with Winkle on Friday morning, and on his way down town in his automo- bile, he passed Winkle who was walk- ing on East Main street in the direc- (tion of Main street. On reaching the Stanley building, Miller decided to wait outside for Winkle. After remain- ing at the place until 8:25 o’clock, he left for Hartford. Between the time of passing Winkle on East Main street and the time of Miller's leaving Main street, the distance is so short that without any difficulty, Winkle should have reached there long before 8:25 o'clock it is argued. Closed Saloon Early , The police are in possession of in- formation that the Kalkowski place was closed at about 10:30 o’clock a week ago Friday night, which is an earlier hour than usual. It was learned | to day that an automobile party con- taining friends of Kalkowski's arrived at the place the same night a few minutes before the closing hour, but were forced with other patrons to va- cate, when the proprietor is alleged to have announced that owing to his not feeling well he was going to close up the place. Second Violent Death It was recalled by police officials today, that about nine years ago, a local man fell in the saloon formerly conducted by Sam Munch and com- pany, now the Kalkowski place, and when the police were acquainted with the affair, the man was found to bhe dead. . Greenberg Laudaory Prosecutor A. A. Greenberg was asked this afternoon regarding the latest theory in the Winkle case. He said that it appeared to be a very plausible one. He also took the occa~ sion to compliment the police for their efforts put forth so far in solving the Winkle case. Kalkowski Is Questioned. Clemons Kalkowski, proprietor of the saloo: under discussion, was brought to the police station this aft- ernoon, where in the presence of Walicki, Captain T. W. Grace, Ser- geants Richardson and Hart, Chaire (Continued on Second Page) 1
