DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 18.—TM® util- ated body of 4-year-old Alphonse Wilmes, | whose father lives on St. Aubin avenue, | was found to-day in the rear of the | Michigan Stove Works. The hands were | tled behind with wire and a red hand- kerchief had been stuffed down the boy's throat for a gag. All of the wounds had apparently been made with some very sharp instrument. Alphonse had been missing from his home since yesterday. Perhaps the strangest phase of the mystery is that there were only a few small stains of blood on the body and | clothing of the lad, despite the horrible character of his wounds. It looks as though the murderer, after committing the deed, washed the blood from the body and then carried it to the lot where it was found. At the council meeting to-night the Board of County Officers was requested to offer & reward of $5000 for the arrest and conviction of the murderer. The Council also voted to offer $500 additional reward. A man giving the name of Charles Ed- | wards, of Bangor, Maine, and supposed to be a tramp, is held at police headquar- ters on suspicion of knowing something about the crime. ROCKFORD, Ill., Aug. 18.—The murder of the Detroit boy Is identical in circum- stances with the murder of Richard Tib- | betts, a 7-year-old newsboy, here last month. The details correspond so closely that the authorities believe the murderer was the same man, a lunatic of the “Jack the Ripper” type, and are now in communication with the Detroit police on the subject. The police are satisfied that the boy was murdered by a manilac and are working along these lines. —_————— Extra Sausalito Boat.

Preference was expressed by Congress for the Panama route, provided this coun- try could conduct satisfactorv negotia- tions with the Government of Colombia for authority over the canal strip. If these satisfactory negotiations cannot be completed within a reasonable time the President is empowered to negotlste for a canal by the Nicaragua route.” “What do you consider reasonable time?" “That is left entirely to the judgment of the President. The bill makes him executive” officer in the matter and he alone must determine when a reagonable time has expired.” “Do you think the canal question can be reopened tn the Colombian Senate?” “I am not sufficiently familiar with pro- cedure there to answer that question, but if that congress finally adjourns without ratifying the treaty the way is still open > 10 build the canal by the Nicaragua route, 1 can’t see any further necessity for ac- tion by our Congress. It put the matter entirely in the hands of the President, and there it stands. The President him- self must decide when time is up with Colombia and when to open negotiations with Nicaragua and ‘Costa Rica.” “I cannot deny that I am thoroughly disgusted with the attitude of Colombia,” sald Representative Grosvenor, in discus- sing the canal situation. “That country does not know what is good for it, and its method in dealing with the United States Is altogether discreditable, We are not called upon to keep on fooling with Colombia. I should not be surprised it the State of Panama was already in the beginning of a movement for secession. There is no reason why we could not negotiate with Panama If it ever be- came an independent State.” Representative Hepburn, chairman of the Interstate and Forelgn Commerce Committee, which considered all canal legislation in the lower branch, expressed himeelf more firmly than ever that the duty of this country was to build the Nicaragua canal. He sald: “I belleve now, as I have for years, that the Nicaragua canal is better for all con- cerned, and especially for the shipping interests of the United States.” 1903.

He is equally willing to appear in answer to the murder charge, but declares he does not propase to be taken cn a minor charge and aen have to face the latter without having an oppor- tunity to fight against extradition on the more serfous charge, Assured of fair treatment on thess lines he declares he will surrender, otherwise he will remain in seclusion on Jersey coast.

He was only 100 feet away. Search for Woods was revived by the discovery that Detective Sergeants Frank Tuite and Joseph Wriggins of Newark were at Asbury Park Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. They were accom- panled by Frank D. Depue, a deputy Sheriff from San Rafael, who had come East with copies of the larceny indict- ment found in San Rafael against Woods and warrants for his arrest.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18.—Despite the fact that several suspects have been ar- rested, the mystery surrounding the mur- der of Eva Drouin, allas zva de La Graye, whose horribly mangled body was found early this morning in a resort in the red light district, is far from belng solved, The Coroner's inquest to-day threw no light upon the case, the jury rendering a verdict that the woman came to her death at the hands of a person or persons unknown. In the person of a negro named Pen- nington or Pendleton the detectives think they have under arrest a man who, if he did not commit the murder, participated in the crime. ennington was arrested this afternoon upon a general description furnished by the women who saw a man running from the scene of the murder a few minutes before the body was found. The capture was apparently a fortunate one, for on the clothing which the negro is known to have worn last night several large spots of blood were found and he cannot account for their presence. He was put through a ‘‘sweating™ process by the officers and is said to have made some daraging admissions, which the detec- tives refuse to give out lor the reason that through them they hope to find still | further evidence of his guilt and if too much publicity is given the case this evi- dence could be destroyed. It is known that the negro was in the vicinity of the scene of the murder last night and about the time it was discov- ered he was seen hurrying away. As to the other suspects, of whom there are four under arrest, the police have not nearly so strong a circumstantial case. No formal charge of murder will be lodged against any of the prisoners until more positive evidence is secured against them.
