TNG PARIS MYSTERY ABOUT SOLVED Body Found in Paris that ol Ohio Woman NOT MISS ETTA BROWN Miss Williams mid Miss Povnne arc in Paris, but Family or flic Former Entertained 110 Fears About Their Safety Similarity of Names Leads to Grave Suspicions. Efforts were still being made today by tho Associated Press and the Amer ican consulate at Paris to establish the identity of the American woman whoso body was found In the river Seine yes terday under conditions which pointed to murder of a mysterious kind. Tie story of the 'tragedy was published in The Evening Times yesterday, and it became known then that the victim was not Miss Etta Brown, of Faycttc ville, who is now a teacher in the l'resbytcrian College for Women at Ro.l Springs. Miss Ellen NY Williams and Miss Devane .of that place, are now In Paris studying music, but their rel ntives are not inclined to believe thai either of them was the unknown corpse In the Paris morgue. Miss Brown talked to a reporter for The Evening Times over the long dis tance telephone this morning. She says she returned from France about two years ago and she has no idea that another person should be wearing her clothing or should attempt to use her name. She was of the opinion that tho young woman found in the river was not from North Carolina. Subsequently today Mr. Williams was communicated with over the tele phone, lie had read (he report 'printed yesterday. Ho said thai letters to his daughter could be. delivered to her ad dress when sent In care of tho Amer ican Club. "I am satisfied," lie added, "that it is not my daughter or Miss Devane, for there is an understanding that if anything should happen to one the other Would .'..immediately cable homo." When Miss Brown went to Paris she registered at police headquarters, which is the custom of all foreigners who visit that city. The only clue to tho Identity of the murdered woman was that she had the name Ethel A. Brown on her underclothing, and this name was connected with that of the young woman who had registered from Fuy ctleville. The only thing at all certain about the mystery is that It was not Miss Etta Brown, who is in Kid Springs today. Friends of the young women In Ral eigh said today that it would hardly be 'possible for Miss W'illiaui3 or Miss Devane to wear tho clothing of Miss Brown. They are of different sizes, but it seems to be a habit of young people to give a line bit of lingerie to their particular friends. T)r, MeOcaehy is of the opinion that there is merely a similarity of names and that the-. vic tim of the tragedy was in nti way con nected with any North Carolina fam ily. '. . Late this nfternoou The Evening Times received the following Asso clntcd Press bulletin from Cincin Uitti: '.- "Mrs. Kthcl (Jenchy IJrown, "whose dead body Was taken from the Seine, ncur Paris, France, yesterday, was u native of Fnyettevilli', Ohio, from which place she removed with her parents twenty years ago to some un known place. The identification was made through a clue found in this city today," When tho first word came from Pails of Ethel Brown's mysterious death In the River Seine, residents of Fayetto villc, O., did not associate the beauti ful young woman with the young giri who had loft their little villrgo "'1 years u(fo. John Coney, however for many years a resident of Fayctteville, recalled Ethel as one of his childhoad playmates. Ho said:. "I remember tho Gcaehcy's veiy well. The family moved awry from Fayette ville about 20 years ago, sinco that time I have not heard of them. They were French irnThigrants, and it is pos sible that they returned to Fratics. John Geachy was a prosperous farmer and raised a large family of children) who were great favorites in tho social circles of the countryside.' Tho voldor children I know very well. Ono ot them, Tony, was Btricken with heart failure in tho Palace Hotel while on a visit to Cincinnati, and died. Ethol, or Ettle, as we called her, wai a young girl, scarcely in her teens when the family moved nway from Fayettcvlllc, and of course at the time Was unmar llcd. None of the girls, so far as I know, married any ono by tho name of Brown. The older residents of Fay ettevllle remember the family well, but rioen bf'tnem know, what became of them. ' John Qoachy and his wife died and were buried at Fayettevtlle, and it, yran after this that tho rest of th? family left the village." , W.J.

The work train was', .composed of flat cars loaded 'with pipe for a pipe line which the Pennsylvania Kailroad is building from Indian Creek to Pitts burg. .About seventy-five Italians em ployed at this work, .were also aboard, and the train had just pulled onto tho main line from a siding, when it met the milk train in collision. The two trains came together with terrific force and men and iron pipe wore hurled in all directions. The last flat ear was telcseoped and two others demolished, but the milk train was not seriously damaged. . -Immediately, after tho accident tho crew of the milk train went to the as-, sistanee of the injured, but were forced to tiee from the infuriated Italians who were crazed at the sight of the dead and dying country men. Some of the Italians rushed at th train crew with threats of vengeance, and the erew had to kike refuge on their engine to escape the wrath of the foreigners. Tho dead and injured were brought to this city and tho most seiiousTy hurt taken to the hospital. It Is thought a number will die. As the foreigners were all known by numbers their names could not be learned. They were in the employ of the American Pipe Manufacturing Company of Philadel phia. .

(By the Associated Press.) Paris, March 8. The government finds itself without a ministry at the culminating stage of the Moroccan conference at Algeeiras. - A semi- offl slal statement on the subject says: "The ministerial crisis does not af fect French policy at the conference." This Is designed chiefly to warn Ger many not to take advantage of tho sit uation. The fact is that the minister ial hiatus confuses matters and threat ens the agreement which otherwiso might have been reached today. The vote in the chamber of deputies last night,' resulting in tho defeat of the government temporarizo with the church manifeslants, who are becom ing increasingly demonstrative, partic ularly the peasants. President Fallicrcs today began a series of consultations relative to tho formation of a new ministry. He first conferred lengthily with M. Dubost, president of the senate and later re ceived M.

News at Morocco. 'Algeeiras, Spain, March 8. Tho ministerial crisis in Paris caused pro found astonishment, among the dele gates of the powers attending tho Moroccan conference, but tho details has not yet. reached Algeeiras. The impression prevails that the event is deplorable and may possible prove disastrous to French diplomacy. The delegates, however, refuse to commit themselves on tho effect, which the downfall of the Rouvier cabinet may have on the conference. Previous to the receipt of the news of the liilnisteiial crisis at the French capital tho tone of discouragement had completely disappeared and the work of reapproacliment was pro- jceoding with feverish activity. . The conference this morning re sumed the discussion of the Moroccan police question. Three distinct propositions were presented one by tho Austrian delegation embodying the German ideas; another by the French and a third by the Moroccan mission. The Austrian P'an gives the sultan supremo command of tho police and he Is to select French officers for tho police at four ports, namely, Tan giers, Safli, Rabat and Teutan and Spanish officers for three ports, name ly, Mogador, Laracho and Mazagan. The sultan finally is to select an in spector general of police from Switz erland or Holland. The Inspector general Is to have his headquarters at Casablanca on the Atlantic coast, and Is to command Franco-Spanish police at other ports. Tho Moroccan plan makes the sul tan supreme and asks that all the powers participate in the organiza tion of the police. The French plan as heretofore out lined establishes Franco- Spanish police at eight of the loading ports. Tho foregoing plans are being con sidered. The Austro-German plan concedes a Franco-Spanish police but divides them In different 'ports and places them, under a neutral general. The French delegates declare that the latter condition is unacceptable. However the presentation of the plans brings : the contestants much closer together. An official note Issued at the close oft the day's session read as follows:' (Continued on Pago Seven.) a
