Minneapolis Police Trying to Find STRANGE MURDER OF A DRESSMAKER Victim of Jealousy or Highway- mav’s Rapacity. MUCH OF HER MONEY GONE a MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., December 5.— What will probably prove to be the most mysterious and sensational crime in the history of the northwest is the murder of Miss Catharine Ging. Miss Ging, who was a dressmaker, was twenty-nine years of age and of striking beauty. Her bruised remains He cold in death upon a marble*slab at the morgue in this city, a victim either to the rapacity of a highway robber or the vengeful vin- dictiveness of a jealous and frenzied lover. Late Tuesday night a young farmer re- turning home from the city met a horse and buggy, driverless, traveling at a rapid pace toward town on the lonely road which runs through a swamp just west of Lake Calhoun, tn the outskirts of this city. short distance further up the road he came upon the dead body of Miss Ging, her head blood besmeared her hair and clothing. When the woman's body was taken to death had been a pistol buliet in her head. Numerous cuts, evidently made with the butt of the pistol, neck, and under her chin were plainiy beating her senseless form. Miss Ging hired the horse and bugi » she was seen alive by any one, so far as yet known. back to the stable, drawing the empty buggy, which was found to contain a pool of biood, the seat cushions being also sat- urated. The position of the body when found in the road, the location of the wounds, the blood in the buggy and bloody marks on one of the traces, all go to show that the woman was murdered by some person who had been sitting beside her in the buggy, and that this person had then thrown the body into the road. A young man named Harry T. Hayward, who was said to have had business deal- irys with the murdered woman, was ex- amined by the police in a most vigorous manner for several hours last night. He admitted having had dealings with Miss Ging, and said he had loaned her at va- her personal notes for £5,000, and stated that she had not long ago taken out an accident policy of $5,000, which was as- signed to him. Beyond this no informa- tion of note was secured from Hayward, who strongly protested his innocence of any knowledge of the crime. Miss Ging, who had had connections in Auburn, N. Y., had been in this city some time, and had worked up a lucrative busi- ness as dressmaker. to carry large sums of money on her per- som on several occasions of late. One of the most important facts yet a safe deposit vault on Monday, and no trace of this money can be found. This | strengthens the theory that she was kill- ed for money. On the other hand, some think it to be a love affair, and that the murder was prompted by jealousy. No arrests have yet been made, but the theory that !t was the termination of a lover's quarrel is based on the fact that it is known to a number of persons, fa- miliar with her movements of late, that she had been in the habit of driving out alone, aud picking up her companion at some point in the outskirts of the city. The police are bending every energy to- ward locating this person. Mayor Eustis 1s heading the Investigation and large re- wards have been offered for the apprehen- sion of the murderer. One of Miss Ging’s numerous admirers was Fred I. Reid, manager of a depart- ment store in St. Paul. Mr. Reid was en- any explanation and even sent an officer which she refused to surrender. Nicolett House, and that she received one ef the notes on Monday. The messenger was lccated, and upon visiting Miss Ging’s room, pointed out the picture of Harvey Axford, local manager for the Eastern clothing firm, as those of the men who sent the notes, but when Axford's wife proved that she had given Miss Ging Mr. Axford’s photograph, Mr. Axford was released. A Glimpse of the Murderer. But one man has turned up who ever saw the murderer. This is Mounted Officer Getchell, and his was only a fieeting glimpse of the face in the moonlight. The officer was making nis rourds on Lake street near Portland avenue,about 8 o'clock Monday evening. A carriage passed him in which the occupants were loudly quar- reling. He glanced at the man and saw that he was thin of face and had a heavy dark mustache. Moret he could not see. | He now claims that he looked at the rig as it passed, sharply, and positively tden- tified it as the Goosman rig which Miss Ging hired and which came back to the stable empty and blood soaked. The spot where the body was found is almost two miles from the spet where is on a direct road thither. That is up to | the stranger. means certain that the couple Getchell saw Was the couple in question. There is just one other clew from which scmething may yet be learned. This is the nete Miss Ging received in the morning, and which, after reading, she tore into small bits. Her waste basket is now in the hands of the police, who are making an effert to piece the Various bits of paper found there together. So far this effort has not been entirely successful. , there are several notes. One seems to ask her to meet a friend from St. Louis. This initial at once called to mind Frederick I. Reid of St. Paul. Reid, it 1s learned, was once en- gaged to Miss Ging and gave her a dia- mond engagement ring, the one which wes found in a small chamois bag beside her corsage. Besides, the engagement was broken more than a year ago. Reid has a thin face and a heavy, dark mustache. But he proves that he was at work in the store all the evening with his clerks. The police last night sent word to Reid to come over and enter the sweat box. He declined unless a warrant was issued | for him. The police did not feel justified in tssuing a warrant. According to the testimony of all friends, Miss Ging had off her connection with Reid, and held no communication with him for over a year. Yet she retained and cherished the ring. Thus far all search for the messanger who carried the note has been futile. “An A. D. T. boy has been found who carried a number of notes from a man at the Nicol- her box process, but without result.

The only cther suspect is Hal Hay: ward, the landlord, friend and creditor of the dead woman. Hayward's admissions with reference to his financial relations with the woman constitute the serious part of the case against him. His alibl is per- fect, and relieves him from direct connec- tion with fhe crime. It 1s established that he was at the theater at the time the mur- der was committed. Yet he knew more of her business affairs than any known per- son. He lent her large su:ns, with security that would not be deemed gilt-edge. This, he says, he did out of friendship, and with confidence in her her a His last loan was 37,0009 cash, and it is pretty certain that she had this amount on her person at the time of the murder, and that the mur- derer took it from her. Hayward's se- curity for this was Miss Ging’s two insur- ance policies; one an accident policy for $5,000 in the Travelers’ and the other a regular life policy for the same amount in bey alos York Life. Theso were assigned Watching Hayward. The police have enough confidence in the theory that Hiayward knows more of the crime than he will tell, and that pos- sibly he instigated it, to hold him under close surveillance. Meyor Eustis, who has taken charge of the case, believes that this latter theory is the true one. In this connection an alleged hold-up that occurred last April is being recalled. Heyward was out driv- ing with Miss Ging and Miss Vetter, her friend. They were stopped by two men and forced to give up what they had. It is now claimed that Miss Ging had a large sum of money in ready cash at that | time and was supposed to have it with her. It ts conjectured that the men knew this fact in this way and expected to get the money. It is even hinted that Hay- ward gave them the information. But aside from the ineurance policies A there fs not a scintilla of evidence that Hayward desired the death of Miss Ging or would profit by it. He was her creditor to a large amount, was very fond of her Mterally beaten to a jelly. The ground was and stood better in her confidence than soaked with blood, and dirt and clotted any one. ‘The theory that he instigated the crime is hard to believe.

Campbell's offense consisted in wearing the Stanford colors and Jeering at the Univer- sity of California because of its defeat by Stanford in the foot ball match on Thanks- giving day.

BY THE KAISER Evil Influence on National Pros- perity of Speculation. PROTECTION OF MERCHANTS BERLIN, December 5.—Emperor William, wearing a British uniform, visited the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York this morning, and the two latter afterward re- turned his majesty’s visit an hour later. They then started for England. After the departure of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York Emperor Will- fam donned a Prussian uniform and pre- pared to open the reichstag. The session of the reichstag was opened at fioon in the rittersaal of the castle in- stead of in the usual white hall, which is being renovated. Imperor William in person read his speech from the throne. The Kaiser's Address. It was as follows: “Honorable Gentlemen: In the name of my exalted allies I bid you welcome at the beginning of your constitutional work, You will transfer your labors to your new home, which, after ten years of earnest work, is now upon the point of completion—a monu- ment of our national industfy. “May God's blessing rest upon the house and may the greatness and welfare of the empire be the goal for which all who are called upon to work within its walis will aim, with self-denying loyalty. I entertain this wish all the more strongly in view of the economic and socio-political tasks which must be solved with your co-operation. “Faithful to the traditions of our an- cestors, my exalted ellles and myself re- gard it as our foremost duty to the state to protect the weaker classes and to assist them bee ‘al development. he duty of the state becomes the more imperative as the upon the part of certain sections of the people grows more serious. ‘The federal governments will continue their efforts to promote feelings of content among the peo- ple by the mitigation of economic and social differences. “But if these efforts are to succeed it appears necessary to oppose more effect- ually than hitherto the pernicious conduct of those who attempt to disturb the ex- exutive power in the fulfillment of its duty. Experience has shown that the existing legislation does not afford the means re- quired by the federal governments. You will therefore consider measures suppl menting our common law and a necessary bill will be submitted to you without d lay which, chiefly by extending the present penal provisions, will increase the protec- tioa of public order. “I entertain the contident hope that you will lend your energetic co%peration to this serious task.” Injurions Effect of Speculation. His majesty next alluded to the prejudi- cial effect of the abuses of boerse speculs tion upon national prosperity, and that to remedy these evils a bill was being prepared which would probably be submit- ted during the course of the sion. Continuing, the emperor said: 5 is the case in regard to a bill whic intended to protect the trading communit against competition which does not serup to employ unt ans and which will contribute t® strengthening coniidence in business and commer “In consequence of the change the financial situation to the disadvantage of the individual states, which, instead of receiving, a8 heretofore, surpluses from the imperial revenues, have lately been | called upon to contribute to the imp expenditures, the creation of fresh sou of revenue has be ene oppressive state of affairs partially femedied by an increase stamp tax, and the opening of other fresh sources of revenue 1s indispensable. To this end a bill for the reform of the tobac- co taxation will be submitted to you. ‘To my lively satisfaction, my confidence in the maintenance of European peace has been further strengthened during the past few years. Faithful to the spirit of our alliances, we cultivate good and friendly ions with all the powers. i During the course of the last few months two neighboring empires have been deeply stirred by grave events. Gern has sincerely joined in the sympathy which was evinced on all sides, and which once more gave evidence of ‘the solidarity of human feeling and peaceful wishes. In the death ot the Emperor of Russia I deplore the loss of a friend and a tried co-operator in works of peace.” Hin Impressive Delivery. Emperor William's delivery of this speech was impressive and was accompanied by gestures. Several times he raised his voice and looked sternly around, especially at the passages in regard to agrarian ques- tion and the revolutionists and during his pathetic reference to the late czar. His majesty afterward went to the reichstag building in order to formally perform the ceremony of laying its corne: stone, which is combined with the dedica- tion of the building and the formal open- ing of the new session of the reichstag. Immense crowds of people were gathered along the route and outside of the new building, and cheered the emperor and tLe German Teigning princes on their way th and upon‘ their arrival. Prince Hohen- lohe, the chancellor, and Field Marsnal Bluementhai, chief of the general staff of the Prussian army, who is about eigaty- four years old, were accorded an especially warm welcome from the people. ‘The imperial carriages arrived at the new reichstag building at 3 o'clock in the aiternoon. The portals set apart for the imperial and royal princes were alone used. ‘The portal. cpposite the Column of Vi tory was conspicuous from the fact that it was decorated with a velvet canopy. ‘The weather was raw and blustering; but this did not deter immense crowds of peo- ple from gathering everywhere in the neighborhced of the new building. The dedication ceremonies passed off without a hitch. The scene was most brilliant. A large dais had been constructed for the use of the imperial family and highly favored guests, and over it was a canopy tepped by the imperial crown. Beneath this canopy the emperor and empress and the German princes were gathered. Op- posite this structure were the military and other notabilities, as well as the members cf the diplomatic corps. | Prince Hohen- Iche, when everything was ready, advanced toward the emperor with agile and springy step, and asked his majesty’s permission for the ceremonies to’ begin. The prince spoke in a clear, but strident voice. The ceremony was @ tedious affair, all the participants climbing down from’ the dais to the stone and giving it three taps. At the conclusion of this ¢¢remony three “hochs" for the emperor were given, the band played the national anthem, and his majesty and the imperial party retired to an inner chamber of the Teichstag build- ing. ‘The crowds then gradually dispersed, while the emperor inspected the building | thoroughly under the guidance of Herr Wallot, the chief architect. The absence of Gen, Von Caprivi, the former chancellor, from today’s ceremonies was much commented, upon.

NEW YORK, December 5.—A livery horse beat the Manhattan elevated railroad sys- tem last night in a novel race from the Battery to 59th street. The match was for $50 a side, Lynwood Palmer, the artist, backing the horse, and Frank Elliott, the Canadian gentleman jockey, backing the elevated system. His blind confidence lost him the wager. The terms of the bet were that Palmer could drive, without police interference, from the Battery to the Central Park Rid- ing Academy, 7th avenue and 59th street, and cover the route faster than Elliott could travel by train. The start was made from the Battery stairs leading to the ele- vated station. Bertie Ashenden was starter end timekeeper, and drove with Palmer, watch in hand. The route was up Broad- way and 7th avenue to the end of the course, which was covered in just twenty- nine minutes. The two men were in a run- about wagon pulled by a horse hired from a livery stable. The best time was made on upper 7th avenue, where there was no interference from passing vehicles. Elliott arrived ten minutes later. RUSHED DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. Possibly a Fatal Runaway Near Gap- und, Md. MIDDLETOW Md., December 5.—While five horses drawing a wagon load of baled hay belonging to Robert DeLauder were about to descend the Washington county side of South mountain yesterday, on the way to Gapland station, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the rubbers broke, the heavily loaded wagon pushed on the horses and started them to running. They dashed | down the long incline at a furious rate, and near the bottom four of the animals fell. William Hawkins, colored, aged about twenty-five years, who was on the saddle horse, was thrown violently to the ground, and it is thought he will die from his in- juries. The saddie horse, a fine iron gray, had one of its legs broken. The accident oc- curred only a few hundred yards west of George Aitred Townsend’ immer home. LISS RAILWAY CONSOLIDATION, Proposing to Put All Under One Man- agement in Baltimore. Special Dispatch to fhe Evening Star, BALTIMORE, Md., December 5.—A strong movement is about to be started to consolidate ali the street railway lines of Baltimore under one management, with Governor Frank Brown, row president of the Traction Company, as president of the consolidation. The death of ex-Governor Oden Bowie, president of the City Passenger Raliroad Company, has revived the scheme of con- ‘olidation, which was really under consid- ation some months ago, and the general lief is that it will be an accomplished fact in the near futur The Star correspondent teday asked Pres- ident Brown of the Traction Company about the proposed consolidation, and he | said that he was decidedly in favor of it | at the earliest possible date. There are | about three hundred miles of street rail- | ways now operated by cable and electricity | STREE in this city, and the consolidation of the | whele under one management ts sought by the stockholders in order to reduce the ex- | Penses of operation and to provide free transfers to all parts of the town. Since | Governor Brown became president of the | fraction Company he has succeeded in re- | ducing the operating expenses of that sys- tem more than one-third, and recent re- ports show that it is operated at less ex- pense per mile than any similar line in the country. - > “BUDDY” WOOTE CONFESSES, With Death Staring Him in the Face He Admitted Guilt. jal IMspatch to The Evening Star. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Decémber 5. “Buddy” Wooten, one of the negroes con- fired here and urder sentence to be hang- ed for the murder of a white man named Marion Ross, has confessed. He believed he was to hang on Monday, and just prior to that hour he sent for a deputy sheriff and made a full statement regarding the murder. He implicates Wapp, his compan- jon, who is to hang with him, and another negro, named Dayton. He’ subsequently signed a written confession in the presence of the sheriff, giving the details of the horrible crime. The confession has been gent by the sheriff to Gov. Turney, respited the two convicts to January 1, for his consideration of the application for a commutation of their sentence from death to life imprisonment. The men have de- nied their guilt up to this time. * —_— STREET CAR LICENSES, Spe The Plena Which the W. and G. Ron Will Make. : The attachment issued from the Police Court yesterday to compel the attendance of President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown railroad will not be served. The matter of his appearance had been arranged by his counsel, Messrs. Davidge and Totten, with Mr. Thomas, attorney for the District, but Mr. Pugh, the assistant attorney, was not notified of this agreement and that is why he asked for the attachment yesterday. As heretofore published in The Star, there are four warrants against the cable com- pany, each charging the operation of 175 rnlicensed cars. Should the court sustain the charge brought by the District the penalty will amount to more than $4,000, It is stated that the company will claim it is not responsible; that the license act was enacted when there were nothing but horse cars in operation and that it there- | fore does not apply to the cable cars The law, however, uses the term “street cars,” and makes ao mention of horses, cable or other manner of operating the cars. a A Pastor Ordained.

The question as to whether an army offi- cer or a naval officer shall be at the head of the light house establishment was set- tled at a meeting of the board Monday afternoon, when Rear Admiral Walker was clected president of the board, vice Ad- mirat Greer, transferred to the presidency of the naval bozrd of examination and pro- | motion.
