Committee Saccessor Dropped Washington, ‘June § UP—A ‘new chairman will guide the republican natienal committee through the ap- proaching - campaign. Dr. Hubert Weork, who accepted the chairman- ship Jast June to conduct the Hoover campalgn, will call a'meeting of the committee early in the fall to submit his resignation and discuss plans for the new campaign, which he believes should be put into effect next winter. Sends Hoover Letter Dr. Work’'s intention has Dbeen made known to President Hoover and members of the committee in & letter which disclosed that he had prepared to resign at the commit- tee's meeting March 5, but had been dissuaded. Acknowledging the letter tnd expressing regret, President Hoover recalled that, in aecepting the: chairmanship ‘last ' June, the former interior secretary had agreed to undertake the task with the un- derstanding that he would-be per- mitted to resign soon after the elec- tion. Cognizant of Qr. Work's desire, as ecxprossed by President Hoover, “that someone else should undertake the ircreasing burdens and anxleties of the party chairmanship which are imposed by each new campaign,” re- publican leaders at the capitol ex- pressed no surprise and generally withheld comment. Several Considered The indications were that the con- sressional leaders knew a good.deal about the situation and what wi likely to take place at the fall meet- ing of the national committee, but the only suggestion forthcoming was advanced by Representative Tilson of Connecticut,yrepublican leader of the house, and he went no further than to remark that “several impor- tant men have been considered” for the chairmanship. Among those mentioned in politi- cal circles as likely to succees Dr. Work was Secretary James W. Goed of the war department. Ample pre- cedent for the placing of the chair- manship in the hands of a cabinet member was seen in the fact that Will Hays held the post from March 4. until June 5, 1921, while post- master general. James Francis Burke, committee counselor and close friend of Pres- ident Hoover, who has figured prom- inently in the administration's ef- forts to straighten out patronage tangles, was another whose name figured in the gossip as a probable successor to the chairman, and e third was Ralph Williams of Oregon, now a vice chairman. 4 In speed, Rritish railways lead the world, the average cxpress train rates of the four principal countries being: Britain, 41.9 per hour; United States, France, 40.8; and Germany. GLASSES FITTFS s lshooting Miss Soutar, & 24 year old Mrs. Catherine Cassler More - Concerned Over Detention of Son Than Over Own Plight. Valparaiso, Ind., June § (P—Ap- parently more concerned over the imprisonment of her adopted son, Edward, than the fact that for the second time within three years she has been formally charged with murder, Mrs. Catherine Cassler of | Chicago today restlessly awaited the outcome of further questioning of the boy regarding the death of Miss Cameola Soutar a week ago. Jealousy Believed Motive Mrs. Cassler stood charged with Chicago professional skater, through the heart and with hiding her body in a marsh near Hebron, Ind. The motive was believed to have been that Miss Soutar was too friendly with Truman (Charles) Caasler, the 40 year old accused woman's hus- band. Coroner E. H. Miller filed the affidavit charging Mrs. Cassler | with the murder late yesterday. Meanwhile, Edward, the 19 year old adopted son, was to he taken | today to the marsh where Miss | Soutar's body was found a week ago. The youth along with Truman Cass- ler and Chester Johnson, flance of the dead girl, were held as material witnesses. | Mrs. Cassler was relcased from | the Cook county jail in Chicago | April 30 after having been fread on the charge of murdering. Willlam Lindstrom, & roomer in her home. She was sentenced to the gallows. On the eve of her execution she was granted a new trial and the state later dropped the case. | The Soutar girl, ran away from home when 18 years old, married, became a mother and later was di- vorced. Testimony at the coroner’s in- quest was that Miss Soutar had sometimes posed as the housekeeper and again as the daughter of Tru- man Cassler during the 27 months Mrs. Cassler was in jail on the first murder charge. Coroner Miller al- 80 was told that the girl was known in some places in Chicago as the wife of Chester Johnson. Witnessos said she often gave her name as “Babe” Johnson and “Camie” John- son. Mrs. Cassler late yesterday won the right to confer with attornevs. Her counsel, A. H. Hutchins and John Klarkowsk! of Chicago and J. J. McGarvey declined to enter a plea when the murder affidavit was filed in a justice of the peace court | and were granted a continuance un- til Friday. Sticks to Story | Hours of grilling failed to shake | Mrs. Cassler's assertions that she | was not guilty of Miss Soutar's death. She admitted slapping the girl in her Chicago home a short | time ago but denled that she had | drawn a firearm on either Miss Sou- | tar or Cassler, as asserted by*Mrs. Mabel Kleckner, a neighbor. “You wouldn't be surprised if you | were charged with munder, would | you?" Mrs. Cassler was asked by Coroner Miller. i “Yes 1 would” was the reply. Asked why, she declared: “Because I am not guilty.” Asked if she did not think she might have had the right to take Miss Soutar's life because she had broken up her home, Mrs. Cassler replied: | “Nobody has the right to take a human life, regardless of the cir- MARSLAND AGAIN HEADS STATE PHARMACY BOARD New Britain Man Re-elocted Presi- dent of Commission at Annual Meceting in Hartford.
