Authorities arc satisfied that afterkilling the boy in the kitchen of hisown home, near the railroad, the mur- jderer dragged the body to the railroadand placed it across the track, sup-posedly »o a train might mutilate it jand that no suspicion of foul playmight fall on the assassin. The body;was found by Warden Welch, colored,who was the boy's roommate, by fol¬lowing a trail of blood from the kitch¬en. where the crime was perpetrated,to the railroad track.

abserts, he left the two negroes to-gelher and, went to a neighbor's toget a cuu of coffee. When he teturned fover an hour later neither of the menwere in evidence, and ho asserts he !wont to bed, supposing that they hadstepped out together to talk.Early yesterday morning when I

Welch got up he found that both doorswere open and that his roommate hadnot returned. In the kitchen he found '

a jeool of blood on the floor and blood-stained rags with which the assassin 'jhad apparently wiped his hands.Arousing tho neighbors, he followedthe Imprints of a peg leg, besides thesplotches of red. and soon came to thebody of his roommate lying across therailroad track.

Axe Found Near llouae.Special Officer Traylor was summon-

ed at oner, and a bloody ax was foundnear the house. The handle of the axwas found several feet from the body.It is the theory of the officers that inthe souffle the ax head, which hadbeen loose for some time, according toWelch, had come off. and that theyounger negro met his death by blowsof the handle, one of which broke hisneck-.

Officer Traylor traced tho marks ofthe pegrleg to the street car line, andquestioning conductors employed onthe interurban cars it was learned thata negro answering Kernev's descriptionhad boarded a car for Richmond at1:15 A. M.No motive for the crime has yet been

established. Young Williams camehere some time ago from Raleigh.N. (.'. He and Welch had lived to-gether since his arrival.Deacrlptton of Kerney.

j from France caused little enthusiasm.(There was only a distance of fifty feetfrom where his special train stoppedto where a motor launch was waitingto convey him to tho George Wash-i

i in;!on. There was little chcering and'applause from the several thousands'who had leathered at the embarkationpier. A procession of Socialists, sing-!ing the "Internationale," debouchedfrom the Rue Siam as the President!walked across the pier. The Presi-!dent waved h.s silk hat to theparaders.Gathered on the wharf were P'rench

and American officials. The first togreet the President were Admiral II.!Salaun. and Admiral K. N". Benoit. oflthe trench navy. Rear-Admiral A. S.Halstead. of the American navv, and!Major-General K. A. Helmick andBrigadier - General Smedley Butlerigreeted the I'resident in turn.

'Mrs. Wilson appeared tired and1j fatigued and apparently was in ahurry to reach the launch. IThe band of the Tenth Chasseurs!

played "The Star-Spangled Banner"]and the "Marseillaise" as the Presi-'dent descended the steps in thelaunch. As the launch went intostream a company of marines andveterans of the \ ser presented arms.1while cries of "Vive Wilson!" "ViveAmersque!" "Vive la Paix!" arose. The'President stood aft on the launchwaving his hat at the crowd on thenational bridge. The launch was lostto view down the harbor Just as the

was scarcely a ripple on the ocean as.he \Sa-3hlngton emerged frorr. tin:Brest roads Into the Atlantic. TheiFrench destroyers Tan Ion and Car--fuo.s escorted the presidential squad-ron to the Ushant light. After aalut-

Mentioned.

nv JUSTIN MeCillATH.WASHINGTON*. June 20..With iho

signing of the pcace treaty at Ver¬sailles and the sailing of PresidentWilson from Brest, the center of thsworld's most important actlcm shiftsfrom Pari3 to Washington.The signing of the treaty by the

plenipotentiaries of all of ;he greatpowers other than the United States,practically means its ratification bythose powers. It was not s "> !u the caseof the United States, which will notbecome a party to the treaty until ithas been ratified hy the Senate, andthere is as yet no certainty that it...'111 bt ratified by the Senate, at lca;:twithout reservation, whiclt the otherpowerj may not be able to accept.It u because of this uncertainty ar,1 to Use action of the United Stateson the treaty that the interest of thewhole world will be fixed on Wash-<iiijrton from the lime President Wilsonprehents the treaty to the Senate amiasks for favorable action until theSenate shall have acted.

I Opposition Strengthened.j There is no doubt the signing of[ the . V'lU'. >X«*trr.<J»;y | n<l PresidentWilson's staten.anj proclaiming u"chapter for a new era of affairs inthe world," strengthened the Senateopposition. Owing to the declarationsniAde by several Senators, who here-tofore were regarded as inclined tofavor the treaty, that they would In¬sist upon some .reservations, those whoihave been consistently opposed to theleague of nations covenant are moreconfident than ever now that reserva¬tions will be made by the Senate whichwill render the covenant practicallyinnocuous.Prosident Wilson's message to Sec¬

retary Tumulty yesterday, addressedto "My Fellow-Countrymen," was muchcriticized by opponents of the league.as all of President Wilson's statementswith respect lo the league have been,for Its lack of doflnftoness.When the President reaches the

United States a concerted, vigorous andpersistent attempt will be made by the'opponents of the league to get fromhim specific answers to the questionswhich they have ready.

Lslior Is Imprexaed.In his message addressed to his!

countrymen yesterday. President Wil-1son dwelt upon the fact that the treaty1"furnishes guarantees such as weronever given or even contemplated forithe fair treatment of all who labor aljthe dtlly tasks of the world," and hesaid that was for this reason that he!ha.I spoken of it as a "great charterfor a new order of affairs,"The President has made frequent!

references to the benefits^ which he;asserts will come lo labor from the'operation of the covenant. The over¬whelming vote by which the Ameri-!can Federation of Labor indorsed thecovenant shows that theso appeals havebeen effective. He has not said any¬thing about the benefits to capital, andnot much has been said about that any¬where, not even in the Senate.

Great Financial <luea<Iona.Some of ihe great .'bankers of New

York have publicly stated that, in addi¬tion to the great sums which the UnitedStates government and banking inter¬ests have already advanced to Europe,many billions more must be advancedif Europe is to be put squarely on herindustrial feet.The possibilities stagger the im¬

agination when stated in terms ofdollars. For Instance, Prof. Joseph M.Goldstein says that Russia, nlone needs$56,450,000,000 for railroad construc¬tion, industries and-..public utilities inthe next ten years. There are alsogreat opportunities for investment inGermany, in Austria, In Serbia, inRoumania. in France, In Italy and inthe new nations of Poland and Czecho¬slovakia.

Men Composing American Forces in1*ranee and Germany Could Be Re-turned by August 10, According toExperts.

fBv Associated Press. 1WASHINGTON. June 29..The Attor-

ney-General. and not the War Depart-mont. will have to advise PresidentWilson when demobilization of theemergency forces has been completed,military experts said today, whentheir opinion was' sought as to theapproximate. date of rescinding: ofwar-time prohibition. The presentcomposition of the military establish-inent is' so complicated, it was said,that a decision by the highest legalauthority would bo necessary.

The. army is estimated today tonumber a few thousand more than1.000.000 men. composed of regulars,National guardsmen in Federal ser¬vice. drafted men and volunteer re¬cruits who recently enlisted for theone and three-year periods. The regu¬lars. exclusive of "duration-of-omerg-ency" men. include not more than40.000 men at the most, and the re-cantl.v rccruited class totals til.000.leaving 900.000 as the number whichapparently must be discharged beforedemobilization cun be said to have beencompleted and the President legallyentitled to act.

May Flnlah In August.The period required for demobiliza¬tion depends. It was said, today, withindefinite limits upon the size of theAmerican force left with the army ofoccupation. The 4r>0.000 men nowcomprising the American expeditionaryforce In France and Germany could hereturned by August 10 and tho campmachinery In this country is capableof discharging the men as fast as thetransports can land them.The Siberian expeditionary forcedoes not affect demobilization plans,since tho intention Is to replaoo thisforce entirely with voluhtary recruitswho have either specifically requestedSiberian service or who have not askedany definite assignment, and may,therefore, be sent where the depart-gnent decides, |

Two Division* Itclra.ned.Army officers expected todav to hearsoon that the Fourth and Fifth Di¬visions of regulars had been releasedby General Pershing for return. Infact. recent communications fromAmerican expeditionary force head¬quarters list the various units of thesedivisions as ..released," but the pos¬sibility that this notation might be anoversight is admitted.With the exception of the First toFifth Divisions, inclusive, tho onlv lineorganizations still abroad are ThreeHundred and Nineteenth Kngineers.ihe One Hundred and Sixth and ThreeHundred and Fourteenth Train Head¬quarters. the One Hundred and Four¬teenth Sanitary Squad and parts of theThree Hundred and Tenth Supplv andAmmunition Trains.

All that Japan neededwas for the conference to give her tineconomic stranglehold on Shantung. jChina's richest province and although !ipreaident.
