'o DE0WNED BODT FOUND TODAY Ifraeat'llcld and Mental' Ills Given as cause or Seir-Destruc- tlon. It jThe body of Mrs. Lilr.ie Vermuelen, who disappeared from her home, 720 Fifth street, Sunday evening, and whose run tinned absence has been a source of grave fear to the relatives, was found floating in the Mississippi river near Seventh street this morn ing' by Mack Starr, cf 416 Seventh street, an employe of the Hock Island Plow coin pan jvon hi-wwy- Uk work. The hotly was toedtjft shore and identified, liv Wdli:i&k& v ' N'uith street. 1 bor 'of the drow-ncdWtftnnnV'aiul was attracted to the soot by the commo tion at the river bank incident to the discovery of the corpse. The re la tives. Coroner Louis V. Eckhardt and 11. F. Knox were notified, the bodv being taken to the undertaking estab lishment of the latter, where the in quest was held at U o'clock this morn ing, the jury returning a verdict of ucatli by drowning, the intent suicidal and induced by melancholia. Motlye la Clear. From the evidence of relatives at the inquest a motive is so evident that mere can be no other opinion formed than that the unfortunate woman comimssed her own destruction. Two years ago her husband died after n Jong illness, and she had never recov ered her spirits or mental calm since mat event, tin the other hand, short ly after she became afflicted with so persistent an attack of melancholia that she was forced to iro to a physi cian for treatment. During the last two weeks -of her life she acted in a manner so unusual that the attention of her sister and her brothers was attracted, and thev Kept very close watch of her. Sh would walk about her room in a dis traught manner, weeping and lament ing, and in no way could her spirits be revived. The IJInannearanrr.

Probably Drowned Nnnty. From these circumstances it seems likely that under the protecting shade or night she went at once to the river close to the spot where the bodv was found and embraced the tawny" flood as the quickest means to oblivion and relief for her troubled mind and soul. Ihe body when found showed evi dences of having been in the wafer for at least that period of time. The body was distended, and the face ter ribly bloated and discolored, and the features barely recognizable. The clothing further furnished a means of identification. Ihe body was bruised but little, showing that it had not floated far. It was positively identi fied by Fred and William Gotthardt, two of the brothers, and by Mrs. Ida Williams, the sister, the two latter testifying at the inquest. Fnnerul Held Today.

TELEPHONE LINEMEN, OF NEW COMPANY OUT The linemen in the employ of the L nion r.leetric Jelephrne company in the three cities have struck and were not at work today. The trouble is in regard to the agreement under which the men are to work. Yesterday the linemen asked that the company sign tne scale as made out bv the organiza tion, but the company did not com piy. l ne men siated mat it was a case of sign or no work from them. The company remained linn, with the result, that no men are at llieir tasks today. It is understood that the striking linemen of both the telephone com panics are to receive the support of organized labor in their fight, and if the matter is pushed to the extreme exient a big sympathetic strike is possible affecting a number of other organizations.
