FAILS TO WIN MISS POLAND CONTEST ANGUISH AMONG ASPIRANTS United P. A. — By Telegraph—Copyright Reed. 9.5 a.m. WARSAW, Friday.

The incident has caused a storm of Indignation throughout Poland, where the contest was organised with tremendous publicity. The candidates paraded for hours before a vast audience before the decision was given. When the jury announced the winner, an actress, Sophia Batraka emitted a cry of anguish through the crowded hall. Irene Wierzbicka dashed out weeping, and was later found shot dead in her dressing room.
