Body of Victim Sent Away for Burial, no Trace of Husband Eagle River, Oct 9 (M It appeared likely today that the fed eral government would be railed in to investieate the slaviner of Mrs. Cora Belle Hackett 42, "want ad bride" of George W.

E. Perry, Coroner P. J. Gaffney said he possessed evidence indicating Mrs. Hackett may have met death on the Lac du Flambeau Indian reservation where her decomposed body was found.

If the fatal shooting were committed there, the federal government will take precedence in the prosecution over Vilas county and the slayer will face a death sentence. Wisconsin laws provide life sentence for murder while the federal government demands the extreme penalty. Body Sent to Chicago While authorities traced two reports, one in Milwaukee and the other in Evanston, 111., that Perry, alleged bigamist slayer of his third bride, had been seen since the killing, the body of Mrs. Hackett was prepared for shipment to Chicago for burial. Developments came fast after the body, discovered more than a week ago, was identified as that of Mrs.

Hackett, former Milwaukee school teacher and widow of a secret service operative under President Roosevelt. A murder warrant was iasued here accusing Perry of the killing.

Oct.

9 Prom ise of an early report on prohiK- tion in which there will be "no pussyfooting" emanated from President Hoover's law enforce ment commission today after lon-i hours of argument at its opening session yesterday. It has become definitely known the controversial subject of prohibition is now dominating of the commission and vir tually all of the day and night sessions of yesterday was spent In arguing the demands of an insur gent element of the commlssioi for an Immediate report on thin question. Leaders of this Insurgent ele ment are understood to be Judzo William S. Kenyon of Iowa ami Kenneth S. Mackintosh, former Washington Jurist, both Republicans and dry.

Neither of theso would talk. Would Speak Right Out Chairman George W. Wicker- sham announced after tha Ions? opening session that the commission hoped to report to congress by the opening of the December session. He added he believed that "if we reach the conclusion that prohibition Is not enforceable, I think we should say o.M, bo Dusy nave members of the commission been in their first hours since the summer recess in arguing over the demands for an Immediate report on prohibition that there has been no Indication so far of how the body divides on this subject, if it does divide. Alsu no concrete proposition In the way of a recommendation on prohibition has so far been placed before It.

Too Much Politics It Is fairly certain, however, that the commission Is prepared to assail "political Influence" in the administration of Justice. Already members have lashed out at this. While an early conclusion Is in prospect on prohibition, several months are expected to be required In completing the gigantic task of surveying every phase of law enforcement. All reports on prohibition are understood to have been complete ed. This is what is Irritating some of the members.

They sav there is no further reason for delay. With prohibition an issue In sev eral campaigns, political leaders are wondering whether the commission might actually report before election day three weeks hence. It Is not believed, however, the report will be reached, by that time.
