The girl, it has developed, is in love with the husband of the dead woman. Mrs. Storrs was taking lunch with Miss Garrison at the latter's re quest, when she suddenly fell, and before her physician could arrive, she died. The girl firmly denied any guilt. "I love Dudley M. Storrs—l want him," she said, quietly. "But I don't know what killed his wife. I wanted to play square with heT. That is why I asked her to lunch with me. That is why I told her I would go to Alaska and not write to him. But 1 wanted to know if she intended to divorce him." Captain of Detectives Tennant is puzzled. So is Deputy Prosecutor John Cannody. They talked to the jrirl for : hours. Accompanies Detectives Calmly Out in tho chemistry building at the state university, Professor William Dane was examining the contents of the dead woman's stomach in an effort to definitely de termine what caused her to suddenly gasp, convulse, and die in the presence of her young rival. Detectives arrested Miss Garrison at I :30 a. m. Wednes day at the home of her uncle, James D. Esary, president iof the Island Transportation company, 523 Kith ave. She had gone there following the tragedy. Tearlessly she ac companied the officers to police headquarters, where she | spent the night. Dudley Storrs—the man in the rase—was formerly a deputy sheriff and mechanic, who fell in love with the girl when she worked at the attorneys' information bureau in the county-city building several months ago.

Jugo-Slavia Is Ready to Make War Over Dalmatia 11V IIKKIIKKT COREY KAOIUCB, Croatia. Feb. 20.—(8y Mail.) For yotri before the world \%ar La-Kan, the Par in correnpondenta had a standing ntory for dull Hun days. The American headline artist* regarded it with nausea. They unulfft ly put thia Interest-deadening caption over it: "Pnrcnt In tho Halkana." Hut eventually the world war came, and those who are trying to trace hack its source find that the Balkan unrest was one of the sure indica tions of the trouble to come. Today a set of conditions exists which is In u meanure comparable to those which flamed up In 1918. t'nlesa the peace conference finds the right solution, there will Is* war one of these days, sure an eggs is eggs.

The Itallnn forces are holding as conquered territory that part of the Italtnatlan const which Jugo-Hlavla claims as her own. "If we do not get Dalmatia we shall fight Italy some day," the .lugo-Hlav leaders told me, quite muididly. "Not now, |>erhaps, but aomc day." "We fear the Slav menace," Is the Italian position. "We must havo i>al matla to protect ourselves." In the effort to understand an ad mittedly dangerous situation, I have come to Jugo-Hlavia.
