LAMBERTVILLE, N. J., Jan. 9.?An
amnesia victim, who is known as "Dr.
X." and whose mind is a blank regard- ;
ing everything that has happened since ;
the ?inking of the Titanic, is a guest
here at the home of Dr. J. T. Bonsley,
rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal
Church.
The mysterious stranger is an ac- ;
complished artist and musician. He is
a man of culture and refinement, and is
well educated. He appears to be a na?
tive of England. His memory has been
improving gradually for the last few
days, and it is believed that in time
he will be able to reestablish his iden?
tity.
Has Many Visitors
The "lost memory" victim was first1
seen December 22 while "watching a
sunset" on the Delaware River. He
rodo into town with a truckman, and
because of his ragged apparel and his
childish babbling was locked in the city
jail, only to be rescued several days
later by Dr. Bcnsley, who became in?
terested in his case. The stranger has
received many visitors at the rectory.
"Dr. X" is a man of middle age. He
is five feet seven, inches in height,
weighs about 140 pounds, has dark hair
and a beard which is streaked with
gray. A barber was one of his recent
visitors, and his beard is now cropped
in a semi-Vandyke style. When found
he had a pipe, two boxes of matches, a
small purse containing a nickel and two
pennies, a fountain pen and an old
wallet.
In an interview here to-day "Dr. X"
said: "I may have been married, but I
don't ever remember having had a wife.
I should say that I am a native of Eng?
land and that I attended Oxford. It's
a dead certainty that I have had Eng?
lish church experience. There is a
strong presumption that my early life
was spent in Mississippi.
"I have only a spotted memory and
realize that mentally I am but ten days
old. I do remember when President
McKinley was shot and that Roosevelt
became President."
"Do you remember when Roosevelt
died?" he was asked.
"No," answered the stranger. "Is he
dead?"
"Dr. X." declared that he remem?
bered nothing of the war, but remem?
bered the sinking of the Titanic very
distinctly. He is positive, however, I
that he was not a passenger on that >
vessel.
The day the stranger arrived at the
rectory he saw a piano and began to
play. Dr. Bensley then took him into
the church and showed him the organ,
which he played with ease. He dis?
played an unusual knowledge of music,
particularly Gregorian music.
Believe He Is Physician
Dr. L. C. Williams, a local physician
who has been attending the rectory's
strange guest, is convinced that "Dr.
X" is a medical man who has been
deeply interested in anatomical re?
search and microscopic photography, j
Dr. Bensley is of the opinion that the
man has been a lecturer on medical
vopics rather than a practitioner.
Dr. Bensley said to-night that he will
do everything possible to aid his guest
in re-establishing h?s identity. Con?
vinced that the stranger has been an
active member of the Church of Eng?
land, Dr. Bensley has written to Dr.
Mercer Green, Coadjutor Bishop of ;
Mississippi, asking him to make an ef- .
fort to learn what he can of a Missis- :
sippi churchman's son who attended
Oxford and disappeared. He also has
given details of the case to church pub- j
lications in England and America.
2,000,000 Civilian Poles j
Dead Since War Started
4,000,000 Made Homeless by
Sweeping of Armies* Back and
Forth Across Country
WARSAW, Jan. 9.?More than 2,000,
000 civilians have died in Poland since
the outbreak of the war, and 20 per
cent of the country's present popula?
tion of 20,000,000 are refugees, ac?
cording to figures made public here
by the American Rea Cross. They are
based on a survey made to show that
the burden of war has fallen more
heavily on civilians than on the mili?
tary.
The central location of Poland be?
tween hostile armies is described as
responsible for the large number of
refugees, as armies sweep back and
forth and the inhabitants are forced
to evacuate their homes again and
again.
- The Red Cross estimate of 4.000,000
as the number thus ?riven from their
homes is held to be highly conserva?
tive by leading Polish statesmen.

British Railway Union?
Abandon Idea of Strike
Conference, After Rejecting Of?
fer, Votes to Attempt to
Get Better Term?
Sew York Xn'fcun?
European Bureau
i Copyright. 1920. N?* York Tribune Inc.)
LONDON, Jan. 9.?-British railway !
men decided to-day to abandon the idea j
of threatening an immediate Btrike, fol- ?
: lowing their recent rejection of the
government's wage offer, and voted in ?
conference to try to get better terms
! from the government. The railway
i men Indicated almost unanimous ob- <
jection to the proposal that wages be
reduced in the future as the cost of liv- j
ing goes down.
By to-day's decision the settlement (
I of the railway controversy has been -
I postponed until next month. During
' February othor important labor mat- ?
? ters will come to a head. All sections ;
j of British labor are committed to the ,
i special trade union congress to be held !
j in March, to consider supporting na- j
I tionalization of the mines by a general ;
I strike.
Possibility was expressed to-day that
the settlement of the railway contre- !
?versy might synchronize with the meet- '
? ing of the special conference, and that ?
! the grievances of the transport workers j
j and the demands of the miners for in- j
j creased wages might come up for set- ,
tlcment at the same time.
The miners are now insisting that :
the wage settlement they accepted, on
the assurance that the industry was un?
able to stand further strain, n? longer
holds good, in the face of the great in- |
crease in profits in the export trade. |
They point Out that the exports for !
December, 1919, were nearly 3,000,000
tons, at about $16 a ton, against only
just over 2,000,000 for the correspond?
ing month in 1918, at about $8 a ton.
The restive transport workers, under
the fiery leadership of Robert Williams, j
are now demanding a minimum daily |
wage of $3, and the dissatisfied iron !
molders complete England's catalogue !
of labor unrest. The molders' de?
cision to continue striking, after fifteen
weeks of idleness, means that the
paralysis of the engineering trade is to j
be continued indefinitely.

Relatives of War Dead
Want Bodies Returned
Committee Will Ask Congress
to Speed Removal Fron?
Graves in France
About B00 relatives of members of
the A. E. F. who lost their lives in
France, met last night at Stuyvesant
High School to frame plans to get be?
fore Congress their desire to have the
bodies of their daad brought back
from France for burial. A committee
of fifty, headed by Alonzo B. Pouch,
of 17 Battery Place, will go to Wash?
ington Monday to discuss the matter
with the Senate Committee on For?
eign Relation?.
"Twenty-five thousand bodies were
taken from their graves and reburied
in the Roumange Cemetery in France,"
said Mr. Pouch, addressing the meet?
ing. "The bodies could just as well
have been brought here. France needs
all the area she can obtain and we
want our boys' remains to be buried
safely at home.
"It is a sacred duty of the govern?
ment to carry out the promise made |
to the boys when they departed?the
promise of an American grave. The
government apparently is not doing all ?
that it should to fulfill its promise. A !
state returns the body of a criminal. ;
The government should return the bod?
ies of its heroes. We want an Ameri?
can grave in America for every Ameri?
can hero who died on foreign soil."
Congress Asked to Vote j
Funds to Avert Famine
Merchants* Association Proposes I
Food Appropriation for
Central Europe
In the belief that immediate relief
rn the form of food is necessary to ?
avert famine in Central Europe, the
Merchants' Association has asked Con- :
gress to take steps to remedy existing
conditions.
A memorial was proposed to the j
board of directors of the association ?
by Lewis E. Pierson, first vice-presi?
dent, and it urges that the countries
which are in need be supplied through
an established Federal agency, such as
the United States Grain Corporation, j
with money to be appropriated by Con- ?
gress for the purpose.
According to the Merchants' Associa?
tion from fifteen to twenty million
people in the countries of Central Eu?
rope, outside of Germany, and in Ar?
menia are facing starvation.
"The avialable food supply," the
I memorial reads, "is wholly inadequate. ,
1 Moreover, it is very unequally dls
; tributed,#being hoarded in the produc
! ing districts and withheld from the
cities where the need is greatest. In
some of the principal cities the quan?
tities .obtainable are not sufficient for
; subsistence. In Vienna the bread ra
| tion has been reduced to three ounces
a day?and bread is the principal
, article of diet."

Carranza Troops
Killed Americans,
Washington Is Told
Earle Boles and F. J. Roiiey
Shot With Rifles Used by
Mexican Federals, State
Department Is Informed
Sew York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.?Evidence
that Earle Boles and F. J. RoAey, two
Americans recently reported killed in
Mexico, were willfully murdered was
placed before the State Department to?
day. The evif'-nce strongly indicated
that the double slaying was done by
Carranza soldiers.
The data supplied the department
show that Boles and Roney, accom?
panied by a Mexican, left the terminals
of one of the oil companies about 8:30
a. m. on January 6 in an automobile
and drove to Agua Dulce, a town gar?
risoned by Carranza soldiers, where
they borrowed throe cases of gasoline.
They started to return to their ter?
minal, also garrisoned by Carranza sol?
dlers. The two. points are said to be
only about three miles apart.
Two hours later the superintendent ?
of the oil company found the automo?
bile on the beach with the motor turned
off. R'oney's body was lying beside the
car. with two bullets in his chest. Boles
was found a few yards away, with the
wound of a Mauser bullet in one of his
feet and a bayonet stab in the back of
his shoulder which penetrated his lung.
Officials said the Mauser rifle was
the official arm of the Mexican Federal
troops, and this, coupled with the fact
that; no forces of rebels against the
Carranza government are known to be
near the oil terminals, indicates that
the crimes were committed by Federal
troopers.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 9.?F. J. Roney
and Earle Boles, Americans, who met
death in the Tampico region early this
month, were killed by rebels after hav?
ing disregarded warnings from local
authorities, who advised them not to
venture into lawless regions alone, ac?
cording to telegrams from state of?
ficials at Tampico, given out la?t night
by the Interior Department. They were
shot by outlaws on the seashore be?
tween camps belonging to the Interna?
tional and Transcontinental Oil com?
panies, it is said.
Advices given out here state that fol?
lowers of General Manuel Pelaez, out?
law ch^ef and virtually independent
rule? in that district, had been expect?
ing to receive munitions from a
steamer at that point on the coast. Cer?
tain bandits who were rivals of ad- J
herents*of Pelaez were operating near ;
the iagoon and lay in vvit at a point |
where they thougbt the munitions
would bo landed, and when Roney and
Boles appeared the rebels believed they
were carrying arms to the Pelaez
forces. Fire was opened upon the two
men, who were killed.
It is stated government forces are
pursuing the bandits and that the Fop
eign Office has asked loca! authorities
for further information regarding the
shooting of the two Americans.
Oil Men Must Bribe or
Fight Mexicans, Is Charge
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. ? Oil com?
panies operating in the Tampico dis?
trict must fight Mexicans or bribe
them, Michael H. Spellacy, for many
y?ars in the oil business in Mexico,
testified to-day before a special ex?
aminer for the Senate Foreign Rela?
tions Committee.
"By bribery I mean that, the com?
panies pay officers of the Carranza
government to do what they are re- j
quired by law to do," Spellacy said. |
He added that many workers would
like to put all facts on the situation
before the United States government,
hut were not permitted by the com?
panies.
Spellacy declared that the feeling
among Americans in Mexico was that
the government knew all about the
troubles there and had deliberately
suppressed the facts.
"Americans feel," he continued, "that
they should lot the United States know
first hand what is happening, and if
the government won't do anything then

Jewels Pawned to Pay
$940 She Had Earned
Board of Estimate Acts to Re?
imburse Mrs. Douglas After
Hearing Her Plea
When "No. 60" on the calendar of the
Board of Estimate was called at yes?
terday's meeting, and was about to be
passed as routine, a woman stepped up
to the rail before the members of the
board.
"I'm the unfortunate Dorothy Doug?
las mentioned, and I hope you won't
deny me the money I earned," she said.
Roused to interest by this personal
appeal, the members of the board
looked at their calendars, and found
that Mrs. Douglas, engaged as a con?
fidential inspector in the Department
of Public Charities, had been denied
$940 due her because she had not been
appointed in accordance with the civil
service law.
Mrs. Douglas told the board that Bird
S. Color, Charities Commissioner, had
employed her. After working five
month's she was paid, but then was
nsked to return the money, and com?
plied.
"I ran into debt, and had to pawn
my jewelry and belongings to pay it,"
she said. "I've tried every way, but I
can't get the money."
Comptroller Craig said he had tried
to get the money for Mrs. Douglas, but
that the Corporation Counsel had ruled
against her.
A resolution then was passed, asking
the Corporation Counsel to go over the
case again, to see whether there were
not some means to pay Mrs. Douglas.
It was suggested that the Legislature
take the matter in hand or that Mrs.
Douglas be appointed to a job and the
money due be tacked on her salary.

While They Are Ignored
Special Correspondence
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 9.?Teachers of
the Pittsburgh public schools may
strike to gain increases in pay. This
became evident to-day when the legis?
lative salary committee of the Teach?
ers' Association obtained the pledge of
75 per cent of the association member?

less the Board of Education acquiesces
in the organization's demand for
higher salaries.
The meeting to decide on the action
to be taken will be held to-morrow in

Professor John H. Adams, president
of the Teachers' AsHociatlon, said to?
day: "We are tired of telling the
Board of Education? where to get the
money to pay our salaries. The time
has come to tell them to come across
with increases inu the salaries of the ?
underpaid teachers of this city.
"Pittsburgh teachers are not 'peeved,' )
but are thoroughly indignant and j
aroused by the recent action of the
Board of Education relative to salary
increases as they seldom have been i
aroused by anything. 1 believe this i
frame of mind is due, not so much to :
the fact that the teachers who do the

the fact that the teachers do the

In the ordinary course of parlia?

Every house in Teocelo has been

Intense excitement and panic reigns
; among the inhabitants of Cordoba and

I Crue, because of the opening of a
newcrater of the volcano of Orizaba,
i fifteen miles to the northward. Tho new
I crater is emitting smoke, according
I to information received from army
? Officers in the earthquake district.
It is officially reported that noth?
ing untoward has been noticed at the
. other volcanoes in Mexico.
Experts believe the reported opening
of a small and supposedly extinct
volcano at San Miguel and the break?
ing out of a new crater on Mount
Orizaba provide an explanation of the
earthquake which on ?Saturday night
centered with terrific effect, along the
j lino between the states of Vera Cruz
! end Puebla.
New advices tell of 200 deaths near
1 San Miguel and in the country dis
i tricts near Cordoba, and it Beems im?
probable the final list of casualties
will fall below original estimates of
\ 2,000, even if reports of 1,000 deaths

compilation and comparison of varying
dispatches, it is believed twenty vil

"Go ahead and shoot! I've been
robbed so often and lost so much
money I'd just as soon you would."
Whereupon Nerad was felled with a
blov? and with two clerks was herded
int" a rear room. The bandits
crammed jewelry valued at $10,000 into
canvas bags and fled. As Nerad raced
into the street shouting an alarm, one
of the bandits leaned out of their flee?
ing automobile and shot him in the
shoulder.
FearingHhat he would be shot a sec?
ond time, he feigned death until the car
was out of sight. ,
