THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871. OMAHA, THU RSDA IORNING; DECEMBER 6, 1894. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENT DUTY T0 PROTECT THE WEAK Emperor William Faithful to the Traditions of His Ancestors and Allies, KAISZR'S LATEST MISSION ON EARTH Urges on His Parliament a Mitigation of Soclal Differences and the Ruling Down of the Unruly—Opening of the Relchstag, BERLIN, Dec. b6.—Emperor Willlam, Wearing a British uniform, this morning visited the prince of Wales and the duke of York, who returned his majesty’s visit an hour later, and then started for England, After the departure of the prince of Wales and the duke of York, Emperor Willlam donned a Prussian uniform and prepared to open the Relchstag. The radizals are furious that the monarch does not come to Parliament, but that in- stead, his majesty must go to the castle for the ceremony. The course of his majesty, says the Freissinige Zeitung, shows how modest a part parliamentarism hoids in Germany. The session of the Relchstag was opened at noon in the Rittersaal of the castle in- stead of in- the usual white hall, which Is being renovated. Emperor Willlam {n per- #on read his specch from the throne. - It ‘was follows: Hororable Gentlemen: In the name of my exalted allies, 1 bid you welcome at the begioning of your constitutional work. You will transfer your labors to your new home, which after ten years of earnest work is 10w upon the point of completion, a monu- ment of our national industry. May God's blessing rest upon the house, and may the greatness and welfare of the empire be the goal for which all who arc called upon to work within its walls will aim with seif- denying loyalty. 1 entertain this wish all the more strongly in view of the economic and soclal political tasks which must be solved with your co-operation. FAITHFUL TO TRADITIONS “‘Faithful to the traditions of our an- cestors, my exalted allies and myself re- gard it as our foremost duty to the state to protect the weaker classes and to assist them in attaining higher economic and moral development. The duty of the state be- comes more imperative as the struggle for existence upon the part of certain sec- tions of the people grows more serious. The federal governments will continue thelr efforts to promote feelings of content among the people by mitigating economic and social differences, “But if these efforts are to succeed it appears necessary o oppose more effectuaily than hitherto the pernicious conduct of those who attempt to disturb the executive power in the fulfiliment of its duty. Experience has shown that the existing l:gislation does not afford the means required by the federal governments, You will thercfore consider means of supplementing our common law and a necessary bill will be submitted to you without delay,” which, chiefly by extending the present penal provisions, will increase the protection of public order. “I entertain the confident hope that you will lend your energetic co-operation o this serious task.” His majesty next alluded to the prejudicial effect of the ubuses of bourse speculation upon natlonal prosperity, and said to remedy these evils a bill was being prepared which ‘would probably be submitted during the course of the session. Continuing, the em- peror said: he same is the case in regard 10 ‘a bill which is intended to protect the trading communify against competition, which does not scruple to employ unfair megns and which will contribute to strength- ening confidence {n business and commerce. . “In_ consequence ©of the change in the financial situation to the dis- advantage of the Individual states, which, {n- stead of recelving, as heretofore, surpluses from the imperial revenues, have been lately called upon to contribute to the imperial expenditures, the creation of such sources of revenue has become necessary. This op- pressive state of affairs can only be partially remedied by an increase of the stamp tax and the opening of other fresh sources ren- ders the revenue indefensible. To this end a bill for the reform of the tobacco taxation will be submitted to you. CONFIDENT OF PEACE. “To my lively satisfaction, my confidence in the maintenance of European peace has been further strengthened during the past few years. Falthful to the spirit of our alliances, we cultivate good and friendly re- lations with all the powers. During the course of the last few months two nelghboring empires have been deeply stirred by grave events. Germany has sin- cerely joined {n the sympathy which was evinced on all sides, and which once more gave evidence of the solidarity of the human feeling and peaceful wishes. In the death of the emperor of Russia I deplore the loss of a friend and a tried co-operator in works of peace.” Emperor Willlam’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 the agrarian question and the revolutionists and during his pathetic references to the late czar. His majesty afterwards went to the Reichs- tag bullding in order to formally perform the ceremony of laying its corner stone, which 18 combined with the dedication of the build- ing and the formal opening of the new se slon of the Reichstag. Immense crowds of people were gathered along the route and outside the new building and cheered the emperor and the German reigning princes upon their way there and upon their arrival. Prince Hohenlohe, /the chancellor, and Field Marshal Bluementhal, chief of the gen- eral staft of the Prussian army, who is about 80 years of age, were accorded an especially warm reception The imperial carriages arrived at the new Reichstag building at 3 o'clock in the after- noon. The position set apart for the royal party, the portal opposite the column of victory, 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 people from gathering everywhere in the neighbor- heod of the new bullding. WAS A BRILLIANT SUCCESS. The dedlcation ceremonies passed off with- out 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 topped by the imperial crown. Beneath this canopy the emperor and empress and the German princes were gathered. Opposite this struc- ture were the military and other notabilities, as well as the members of the diplomatic corps. Princa Hohenlohe, when everything was ready, advanced toward the emperor with agile and springy step and asked his majesty’s permission for the ceremonles to begln. The prince spoke in a clear but strident volce. The ceremony was a tedlous affair, all the participants climbing down from the dais to the stone and giving it three taps. At the conclusion of this eeremony three *hochs" for the emperor were given, the band played the natlonal anthem and his majesty and the fmperial party retired to an inner chamber of the Reichstag bullding. The crowds then gradually dispersed, while the emperor . spected the building thoroughly, under the guidance of Herr Wallot, the chief archi- tect. The absence of General von Caprivi, the former chancellor, from today's eeremonies ‘was much commented upon, Mex'can A TENOSIQUE, Mex., Dec. 5.—General Lo- renzo Garela has made a tour of the Mexi- ©an army posts on the frontier and reports everythiug in excellent order. Two more are enrounte here from the cap- troops which arrived here have been sent all along the coast and fresh troops, it is reported, will arrive in a day or two from Guatemala City. The port is full of rumors of war. TEGUCIGALPA, Dec, 6—The govern- ment seems to be alarmed over something, for there have been a number of changes in the stations and commanders of troops two lawyers to the district attorney’s office been covered with garrisons lately, two weeks ago ARMING E! RESS E STEAMERS, Guns Have Ileen at Hong Kong for Some Time, VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 5—A represen- tative of the Associated press Interviewed Canadlan Pacific officials today regarding re- ports now in circulation that three steamers of the magnificent Empress line are to be immediately converted into armed cruisers, in accordance with terms of the subsidy from the British government, and that the vessels will be held in Oriental waters in view of the possible events there. clals all denied the report, but officers of the Empress of China threw light on ject. Ever since the Empress boats have been on the route their guns have been in the arsenal at Hong Kong, but were never placed in position, as the mountings are not there. The latter have now arrived, being somewhat hurried out from England on ac- count of the war. When last in Hong Kong Commander Noyes inspected the Empress of China and intimated that on her return to that port guns would be placed on her as well as the other Empresses, and that they would be armed in the future. They will carry thres five-inch guns each, besides or- dinary small arms. Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, minister of fisherles, is expected here tomorrow to dis cuss the sealing and salmon fishing ques- tions. 6. TEN DAYS ARMISTICE. China Afrald of the Winter and Eager for Peace—A Buffer State. SHANGHAI, Dec. 5,—It is rumored here that a ten-days armistice has been arranged bitween China and Japan, and it is said that the terms cf peace mow under negotia- tion are to include an indemnity and the formation of a buffer state, consisting of the country now held by the Japanese. China now fears the winter more than Japap, as the supplies of rice have been kept back too long. LONDON, Dec. 5.—The opinion in official circles here Is that there is no truth in the report cabled from Shanghai that a ten days’ armistice has been arranged between China and Japan. It is added that all indications point to the contrar: Earthquakes in Ecuador. NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—A dispatch from Quito, Ecuador, to the Evening World, say Earthquakes have been of daily occurrence in the northern ver since Nove ber 27.

WEBB CITY, Mo, Dec. 5,—Not since Roach Hamblin and Eulett were entombed here in the great Troupe cavein in May, 1892, has there been such excitement and anxiety in this city as exists this evening, caused by the cavein at the Center Creek company’s mine at Sucker Flat in this city, burying and causing the instant death of “John® Larson, Dan Troxil and Walter Col The unfortunates had just gone to work at 6 o'clock, 200 feet below the sur- face, eight workmen having just quit, when the cavein occurred without a minute's warning.

Mr. Vest's efforts to secure a change in the rules in order to expedite business was the chief event of the day. Mr. Vest, who was formerly opposed to cloture, today an- nounced his conversion. Another feature of the day was the sharp debate on the China- Japan questions brought out by Mr. Lodge's resolution calling for information as to the torturing of Japanese students who were under American protection. Mr. Peffer made the first formal speech of the se criticising from a populistic point of view the recent issue of bonds and giving his views on finance. Bills were introduced by Mr. Berry, demo- crat of Arkansas, to form the territory of Indianola out of portions of the Indian ter- ritory; by Mr. Dolph, republican of Oregon, to exempt from duty foreign exhibits at the Portland, Ore., exposition; by Mr. Hunton, democrat of Virginia, to remit the fines and penalties on the naval ships Yorktown, Balti- more, Newark and Philadelphia; by Mr. Dolph, to forfeit the unearned public linds granted to railroads; by Mr. McPherson, democrat of New Jersey, for an investigation of the merits of the plan for a unit of labor, The venerable Mr. Morrill, republican of Vermont, arose at this point and with much carnestness in his tremulous tones stated that on Wednesday he would address the sen- ate on ‘“some marvelous senatorial bills and some quack panaceas for real and imaginary illnesses.” The vice president laid before the senate the resolution of Mr. Lodge calling on the sccretary of state for information as to the exe- cution of the two Japanese students by Chi- nese authorities while the students were under the protection of the United States. Mr. Lodge said he appreciated the delicacy of the question. He reviewed the hideous cruelties to which the Japanese students were subjected while under the protection of this country, and said if the facts were as had been published some onc was very much to blame, If they were not (his government should be vindicated. Mr. Chandler, republican of New Hamp- shire, suggested (hat as the senator from Alabama, Mr. Morgan, was chairman of the foreign relations committee, it would be well to know if he saw any objection to securing speedy information. Mr. Morgan, replying, stated war was now progressing between China and Japan, and it would be unwise to take any action which would appear favorable to one belligerent or the other. Mr. Morgan said his main ob- jection to the resolution was that it was pre- dicted on an impeachment of the president or secreary of state. LODGE WARMS UP, Mr. Lodge answered with much vigor that he had not intended to present any impeach- ment or make any attacks. “This country has done a good deal of meddling in this China-Japan mix,” said Mr. Lodge, sharply. “It began by warning Japan concerning her advances in Corea. From that time we have been meddling, constantly meddling.” Mr. Morgan stated that w mecting of the foreign relagions committee would be called at once to consider this resolution if It was sent to the committee. On ‘his assurance it was read. Mr. Peffer, populist of Kansas, then secured the flocr for a long and carefully prepared speech, which he read from printed sheets. It referred to his resolution calling for In- formation as to the action of the secretary of the treasury in issuing bonds and arraigning public officials for perfidy and usurpation of authority. At the close of Mr. Peffer's speech the resolution was adopted without division. It asks the judiclary committes to inquire into the action of the secretary of the treasury in issuing bonds. Another resolution by Mr. Pefter for information from the president as to the use of United States troops at Chicago during the Pullman strike brought ocut con- siderable debate on the question of its refer- ence to committee. Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire supported Mr. Peffer’s contention. **Now that the presi- dent had congress on his hands,” said Mr. Chandler, “it weuld be well to get all this and other public information at the earliest Do moment o congress could proceed to deal with them. The resolution was finally referred to the judiclary commiitee. VEST ACKNOWLEDGED CONVERSION. Mr. Vest of Missouri then addressed the senate on the need of a change in the senate rule. He modified the form of his previous resolution so the committee on rules i3 to report by December 15 a plan for closing debate. Mr. Vest sald he had formerly op- posed cloture, but he was now convinced clo- ture was inevitable, and that it should be effected as soon as possible. The question was thoroughly understood, having been de- bated for years, so that the senate was in a position to act at once. When the senate numbered forty members there was no need of cloture, but with the senate increasing so that its membership would soon reach 100, it was imperatively necessary to have a rule bringing debate to a close, In reality the present rules stiffe debate. Senators will not debate on a question when they recoznize the hopeless opposition under which they labor. “These rules encourage parliamentary black- mail," declared the senator, “Amendments to bills are offered und the deliberate threat that If they ard not ac- cepted an indefinite opposition” will be in- augurated. Bills of vast public interest lin- gered here until they were dead, and the peo- ple were weary and disgusted with the spec- tacle of a powerless senate. Even when the bills passed after a contest they were so dis- credited as to have no moral support from the public.”” Mr. Vest said he had no ulterlor purpose of securing the advancement of the separate tariff bills, He would vote for these bills. But in the present case his only object was to secure the change of rules, which was essentlal and Inevitable. Mr. Harris of Tennessee added his opinion in favor of a change of rules. But he sug- gested that the absence from the city of the chairman of the committee on rules, Mr. Blackburn, made it unwise to compel a report of a form of cloture by December 25, Mr. Harris said he would undertake to promise that some fuch resolution would be presented soon after the return of Mr. Blackburn, “I understand,” said Mr. Aldrich, “that this new rule is not to appiy to legislation of this session, nor to the peuding tariff bills It applies to everything,' sald Mr. Vest, “It this rule is adopted,” asked Mr. Allen of Nebraska, “‘will any effort be made toward fuancial legislation on the lings of the pres- ident’s message?” Mr. Vest sald he was mnot authorized to state what would be done in that regard, In order to terminate the random discus- sion Mr. Harris moved to go into executive session, Mr .—The senate showed session ion, Ransom of North Carolina ition to present the Patrick Walsh, reglected as senator from Georgla, Arm In arm, Messrs.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 5.—The attendance on the floor was again small when the house met at noon today and the indications pointed to another dull day. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. English, demo- crat of New Jersey, asked unanimous con- sent for the consideration of a bill. Mr. Sayers, democrat of Texas, objected, whereupon Mr. English promptly objected to a resolution offered by Mr. Blair, republican of New Hampshire, calling on the president to furnish the house, If not incompatible with public interest, with all correspondence, telegraphic ard otherwise, between this country and China, relating to the war be- tween China and Japan. The resolution went to the committee on foreign affairs. Mr. English then demanded the regular order of business. In the morning hour Mr. McRae of Arkan- sas, from the committee on public lands, called up the bill to prevent the free use of timber on public lands and’ to prevent fur- ther issue of permits for cutting timber in Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. The section of the bill repealing the act of March 3, 1801, fixing a limitation of five years against the United States for the institution of suits to vacate land patents, met strenu- ous opposition and it was amended so as to exempt patents Issued to Individual settlers. As amended the bill was passed. A bill authorizing the secretary of the in- terior to yeceive unsatisfied military bounty land warrants under the act of 1858 at the rats of $1.25 per acre in payment of lands located under subsequent acts was also passed, Mr. Richardson of Tennessee then called up the conference report on the printing bill, which was under consideration _yesterday. The report was adopted—136 to 95. Mr. Outhwalte, from the committee on rules, thereupon presented the special order for the consideration of the railway pooling bill each day after the morning hour until disposed of. The order was agreed to with- out division. The object of the bill is to authorize competing common carriers, sub- Ject to the provisions of the interstate com- merce act, to enter Into contracts for the division of their gross or met earnings and to secure a more expeditious and efficient enforcement of that law. Applications for nooling, . together with copies of the con- tracts, must, according to the terms of the bill, be filed with the commission, and unless disapproved become operative twenty days after filing. Another section requires an- nual reports from railroads, including an- swers to all questions askgd by the com- mission, with fines for refusal. Mr. Patterson of Tenpesses, who was in charge of the bill, dwelt at length on the oppressiveness of fllegal rate cutting for the benefit of large shippers, citjug as an exam- ple the Armour Beef Packjng company at Chicago. That combine, he ‘said, handled in dollars more beef than tHe entire cotton crop of the United States amounted to. The rates made for this corporation practically drove small competitors from the field and fixed the price of every: bialiock on every farm in the south and west. | Under the pres- ent law, he said, it wah impossible to sccure convictions for violatlon of fthe anti-pooling section because both partles to the cut rate were equally guilty before the law and one could not be made to 'testily agaifist the other. The pending bill wowld compel testi- mony and did not’ aim atithe punishment of the clerk or agent, but of the railroad com- pany itself. Mr. Cannon did not thin functions and responsibilities should be shouldersd on to the courts, but that the revoking of pooling grrangements should be entirely within the control of the commission. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Patterson’s remarks the house at 5 o'clock adjourued. SIDE OF THE STORY. r and each tion of the r, however, tion bills, adminlstrative TURKS' Claim the Armenlans Were Insurgents but Were Not Mistreated. WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The Turkish legation has received the following com- munication as regards the Armenian troubles: “Towards the end of July last and under the Instigation of an Armenian named Hampartzoun, the men of ten Armenian villages near Mooch formed sep- arate bands, and armed with guns, daggers, hatchets and other instruments, attacked the triba of Delikan, killed a few men ot that _tribe, and afterwards fell on the tribes of Bekiran and Badikan. These bands burned alive Hadji, nephew of Eumer Ahga, one of the chiefs of the Bekiran tribe, and not only assaulted Musshiman women of the village of Kulliguzat, but also put them to death in an atrocious manner. Men were also treated in a most ferocious way. Not satisficd with all those lawless and criminal _proceedings, the same bands burned also a few villages inhabited by Mussulman people. Thanks, however, to the measures taken by the lawful authorities, the bands in question were dispersed and the insurgent chief, Hampartzoun, as well as the priest, Mighirditeh, of Kazil-Kilisse, and other guilty mpersons, were arrested and brought before justices, The statement often published in some of the European papers that some of the regular troops fired on defenseless men and women is utterly untrue. No individual darrying no arms was killed. Twenty hls\lygemu having sur- rendered were treated with all possible con- sideration, and after their depositions before the legal authorities of Mooch were taken they were given their ' freedom. It was Liese twenty insurgents ‘who indicated the plain where the chief, Hampartzoun, and his accomplices were hiding The above facts show that among the insurgents only twenty surrendered and that with the excep- tion of the brigands, who broke in revolt, 1o one else was ill-treated, PREPARING A CUBRENCY BILL.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 6.—Secretary Carlisle had a conference with Commisstoner Miller of the Internal revemue bureau, at which were dlscussed tbe regulations recently pre- pared to govern the coilection of the in- come tax. The regulations are very lengthy and cover every question which is likely to arise in the administration of the law. They are not, however, likely to be promulgated for some days yet, as the secretary has granted the request of some gentlemen to be heard before the regulations are finally ap- !on rules this morning decided to give today , proved. POOLING ~ BILL - ENDORSED Interstate Commerce Commission Think it is Advisable, UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION ~ NZCESSARY Statistics of the Roads in Operation--One Hundred and Fifty-Six in the Hinds of Recelvers — Earnings 82,314 Per Mile, WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The Interstate Commerce commission transmitted its eighth annual report to congress today. The re- port says it Is the duty of shippers, railroad managers and citizens generally, to assist the government in running down violations of the statute designed to protect their inter- ests, It recommends the carrying corpora- tions bs made indictable and subject to fine for violations of the act. The commission explains the necessity of providing a mingle classification of freights for the whole country, saying that experience has shown the necessity for congressional ac- tion, and supports the belief that uniform classification depends upon the passage of a statute requiring its accomplishment. The report states the railway service, which per- tains to shipping, billing and collection of charges, especially as to the crailc over con- necting’ roads, is conducted with much un- certainty, lack of system and regularity, so it justifies charges of gross carelessness and disregard of the rights of the shipping pub- lic. ~ Carriers ought to publish their tarift rates and schedules plainly enough, and em- ploy agents sufficiently skilled to enable them to correctly quote rates to shippers. The fact that carriers undertake, after the collec- tion of overcharges, to adjust the same, while right and proper in itself, does not furnish an excuse or justification for the practice of over- charging fo the extent to whicn it is carried on, The present method of adjusting claims of this character is attended with such de- lay and vexation to claimants that it is ex- tremely unsatisfactory, resulting in great in- Justice to shippers and consignees. ~ Under- charges also result in grave injustice, 1t is stated the provision of law relating to through routes and rates, on account of the meaning which has been given to it by the courts, is practically inoperative, and it fs strongly urged that the law be amended in order to give effect to the intention of con- gress in respect to this matter. After a lengthy review f the railroad pool- ing bill the report says: ‘“‘We submit for the consideration of congress that pooling, without other remedial legislation, is unad- visable. Pcoling under conditicns to be ap- proved by the commission and rendered capable of easy and direct regulation, with accompanying effective remedial legislation, we believe might be safely tried.” On the givernment ownership of rail- roads the ccmmission refrains from express- ing an opinion. As to the great strike of 1594, the commission states its reasons for not entering upen an investigation of this matter. The controversy included matters outside of the commission’s jurisdiction. It is urged the commission should have express authority by statute to investigate the acts of all parties in relati>n to such matters. On June 30, 1894, there were 156 roads in the hands of receivers. While the financial depression has been a factor In bringing about the embarrassment of the railways, it is belleved that many of the receiverships were the natural sequence of mismanage- ment, overcapitalization and ill-advised projecting. The commission Includes in its report statlstics f rallways for the year ending June 30, 1894. On that date there were 174,461.77 miles of line in the United States, being an Increase during the year of 4,987.95 miles.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—The president to- day sent tc the senate the correspondence with the Brazilian minister here in reference to the termination of the Brazilian reciprocity arrangement, about which there has been some controversy. The correspondence be- gins with a note to Secretary Gresham from Minister Mendonca of the date of September 24 last, in which the minister notifies the secretary that his government has informed Mr. Thompson, United States minister at Rio de Janeiro, of its intention to terminate the agreement in accordance with the stipu- lation therein contained regarding its dura- tion, so that the termination shall take effect January 1, 1895. In response, under date of October 26, Secretary Gresham com- ments on the fact that the Brazilian gov- errment deems it necessary to terminate the treaty on January 1. He says the act of August 28 last appeals these agreements where they were inconsistent with its pro- visions. Consequently, notice of an inten- tion to terminate them was not contem- plated and was unnecessary by reason of their immediate termination. The minister's note, however, seems to imply that the United States and Brazil had contracted an obligation not to terminate the arrangement except in the manner stipulated in the ne- got'ations leading up to it. The secretary proceeds to discuss that question at some length. In conclusion, the secretary says the friendly disposition of this government toward Brazil is attested by its present tariff legislation, placing the great bulk of Brazil- jan exports on the free list. While our im- ports trom Brazil from 1890 to 1893 Increased to the extent of nearly $17,000,000 in value, our exports to that country in 1893 show an Increase of less than $500,000 over 1890.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 5.—The deep mys- tery that enshrouds the identity of Cather- ine Ging's murderous companion In her evening drive night before last is appar- ently as impenetrable ever. It fs tain that this companion beyond the peradventure of doubt her murderer, but thus far there Is scarcely the shadow of a clew to his identity. But one man up to the present turned up who ever saw the murderer. This is Mounted Officer Getschell, and his was but a fleeting glimpse of the face in the moonlight. The officer was making his rounds on Lake street, near Portland street | Monday evening. A carriage passed him in which the occupants were loudly quarrel- ing. He glanced at the man, and saw that he was thin of face, and had a dark heavy mustache. More he could not see. He now claims that he looked at the rig as it passed sharply, and positively identified it as the Goosman rig which Miss Ging hired, and which came back to the stable empty and bloodsoaked. The spot where the body was found s about two miles from the spot where Getschell claims to have seen the pair. That is up to date the only actual clew to the identity of the stranger. Even by that it is by no means certain that the | couple that Getschell saw was the couple in question. There fs just one other clew from which something may vet be learned. SEARCHING THE WASTE BASKET. This is the note which Miss Ging recelved 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 effort to piece the various bits of paper found there together. So far this effort has not been entirely successful. Ap- parently thero are several notes, One signed “R” seems to ask her to meet a friend from St. Louis. This Initial at once called to mind Frederick I Reed of St. Paul, manager of the Golden Rule store. Reed, it is learned, was once engaged to Miss Ging, and gave her a diamond cngage- ment ring, the one which was found in & smail chamois bag beside her corpse. For some reason the engagement was broken more than a year ago. Reed 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 Reed to come over and enter the sweat box. He deciined un- less a warrant was issued for him. The police did not feel justifled in issuing a war~ rant. According to the testimony of her friends Miss Ging had entirely broken off her connection with Reed, and held ro com- munication with him for over a year. Yet she retained and cherished the ring. Thus far all search for the messenger boy Who carried the note has been futtle, An A. D, T. boy has been found who carried a num- ber of notes from a man at the Nicollet house, but he did not carry the note Mon- day. The man for whom he carried notes and whose picture was found in Miss Ging's boudoir was Harvey Axford, a clothing manufacturer's agent, with whom and whose wife Miss Ging was friendly. Ile had no trouble in convincing the police that he had nothing to do with the murder. Carl J. Warneke, another former intimate of Miss Ging, was also subjected to the sweat box process, but without result. e satis- factorily explained his former relations with the girl. He is now married. ONE OTHER CLUE. only other suspect Is the landlord, friend the dead woman. ssions with refererce to cial and business relations woman constituted the seriou case against him. His alibi is perfect and relieves him from direct connection with the crime. It is established that he was at the theater at the time the murder was committed. Yet he knew more of her busis ness affairs than any other person. He lent her large sums with security that would not be deemed gilt-cdged. He says he did so out of friendship and with corfidence in her honesty. His last loan was §7,000 cash, and it fs pretty certain that she had this amount on her person at the time of the murder, and that the murderer took it from ler. Hay- ward's security for this was Miss Ging's two Insurance policles—one an accident policy for $5,000 in the Travelers, and the other a regular life policy in the same amount in the New York Life. These were igned to him. The police have enough confidence In the theory that Hayward knows more of the case that he will tell, and that possibly he instigated it, to hold him under close survelllance, Mayor Bustis who has taken charge of the case, believes that this latter theory is the true one. In this connection an alleged holdup that oc- curred last April is being recalled. Hay- ward was out driving 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 on her person, but that as a matter of fact she did not have it with her. It is conjectured thay the men knew the fact in this way and ex- pected to get the money. It is even hinted that Hayward gave them their information, But aside from the insurance policies there is 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, Wwi very fond of her, and stood better in her confidence than any one. The theory that he instigated the crime is hard to belie Supposing it to be true, how could he have induced Miss Ging to go driving In so mysterious a way thrice with a hired thug, and how he could have in- duced her to take with her on the fatal drive so large a sum as $7,000. It is evident that there was a pecu'iar relation, not en- tirely a pecunlary one between Miss Ging and her mysterious companion. And 5o the investigations of the mystery come around to the point from which they started, with tho mystery as deep as ever. HAYWARD RELEASED, Harry Hayward has been released from | survelliance by the police, a fact which {8 taken to mean that they have given up any theory connecting him with the murder, | Frederick Reed, in an Interview this morn- | ing, declared that he had never been en- gaged to Miss Ging, but simply her friend. | Hie had not seen her for six months. He | declared his willingness to come over from St. Paul at any time and tell the police all he knew of her. The police have not yet summoned him and apparently do not take any stock in the theory that connects him with the affair. The authorities are ap- parently completely at sea. The dead woman's financlal agents state she had been in pressing need of money, | for which some one was pushicg her with= in the last week, and that they had gotten $1,000 for her. The head waiter in Barge's restaurant tells of Miss Ging and Hayward meeting there as late as last Saturday, on which occasion Miss Ging thowed nearly $2,000 in bank bills. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Dec. Ging, murdered at Minneapolls, was worn in Auburn about thirty years ago. She left Auburn twelve years ago and came to this city, when she and her twin sister were dressmakers, She remained here a year of two and then went back to Auburn, thence elght years ago to Minenapolls.
