THE WASHINGTON TIMES, THURSDAY, . AUGUST 26, 1915. MURDERED PAS! IE One Suspect Held in the Rev. E. H. A. Kayser Mystery Tells Straight Story. tJARY. Ind., Au. 26. The rtrrt sus pect In the Rev. Edmund H. A. Kayser murder mystery was released this af ternoon by the police after telling a ttralght-forward story. f According to the police, Oeorse f chnelder, a member of the Gary Saxon Terlen, who was arrested, early' this Stornlnp. told relatives he had been In ft fight' Tuesday night. There were trulses and scratches on Schneider's face when ho was taken to police head quarter Rev. Kayser had oDDoaed clans end principles of the verein, because It was said by Chief Helntz, Kayser believed they conflicted with his domination of the German colony he had built up around him. More details which the police say are relevant In their hunt for the murderer of the minister and German propagand ist, were uncovered today. The police waia ivayser s enemies were not con' fined to the hundreds of Slavs and LI' thuanlanB of Gary, but were among his own congregation. Sold Lots To Parishioners. He had shown Chief Helntz letters ha received from members of his German colony whom he had brought here from the Fatherland and to whom he had sold lots. Another feature In the case was the disclosure of the Identity of the alleged "woman In tne case." Federal Inspectors, It became known today, have for some time been Investi gating the source of letters threaten ing Kayser bodily harm if he continued visiting a Mrs. Mary Krause, one of his parishioners. The woman was ques tioned at headauarters by Chief HelnU and Federal investigators. The latter had been called into the case by tho postmaster. More details also of Kayser's recent business activities were unearthed to day. Kayser founded his Independent Lutheran Church eight years ago. It was not subject to rule of the Central LUtneran Dodics. Bought Up Many Acres. The minister bought up many acres of land surrounding his church, divided them Into lots, and then sold them to Germans whom 'he persuaded to come MANY HI MIES ucuuaim "Hum ii iiciDuauw lvj vumo.iun nuHas; nacrAmenio, irom .New ur here from tho old country, and to Ger-leana for Alacran Reef; Princeton, from mans whom he Interested on trips to ?tew jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York and Missouri. Kayser received $50 monthly bb pastor of hlu church. He lived handsomely, however, presumably, the police say, on the profits of his lot sales. He had confided to the postmaster, a close personal friend, that ho had frequently neen threatened for charging one set tler more than another for a lot. It has been variously estimated that he profited to the extent of $20,000 on his land sales. Army and Navy ARMY. Orders relating to Second Lieutenants JASPER A. DAVIES and JAMBS A. STEVENS.

WIEEANGRUuoHE Bitterness So Great at His Spoiling Her Mourning Plans That She Left, He Says. NEW YOItK, Aug. M.-Could any thing have been more absurd, more Inconsiderate In a husband than to come home unexpectedely (and alive) out of a hospital, when his wife had Just had delivered at her home that day the loveliest lot of widow's weeds a woman ever saw? It was rofllly exasperating to Mrs. Frank Nelson, wife of a contractor of Bennett avenue, Hempstead, I-. I., he avers. She so liked the no wine veil, the fetching crape bonnets and tho smart effects in dead black gowns that she wept In open disappointment, he says, when he arrived nomo to blithely announce he had cheated the Reaper. She did more, the contractor alleges In the warrant he has taken out charg ing his wife with abandonment. She was oq, nettled by the turn of events, and the inelegances of all the pretty mourning things, that she left him thon and Ihere, ho charges. In applying for a warrant for her. charging abandonment, the contractor told Justice of the Pcaco Edwnrd T. Ncu that ho had gone to Roosevelt Hospital In Manhattan early last year, told by tho doctors thM he coiild not live. Fully expecting death, he mado over 110,000 In property to his wife. Yet Nelson frankly says he still loves his wife and will forgot all their diffi culties If she comes back and resumes her place In his household. He has tried vainly to discover her where abouts. The children. Elsie, twenty-one; Dland, eighteen, and Howard, twelve, are loyal to their father. On Nelson's recovery the property he had deeded to his wife was conveyed by her to her daughter, who has since rccon vcyed It to her father. )))W ,.

Vigorous opposition to the arangement of this Government to put a financial protectorate over Haiti will develop in tho Senate the coming winter, accord ing to talk today. This opposition will Include some Democrats, as well as a number of Republicans. The Administration, however, be lieves the negotiations will be ratified. Tho Intolerable conditions in Haiti and danger of foreign intervention unless something Is done by this country are ample reasons, it Is said, for the course taken. secretary or mate Lansing had a talk with Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt and with Captain Beach of the Washington, who was In command of the marines that landed at Port-au-Prince. Captain Beach, who returned on ac count of Illness if his family, told the Secretary of conditions. He said the people were starving In soma sec tions. He pointed out that President Dartlguenave was the first President In recent months who had been elect ed who was not elected by the con gress at the point of guns In the linnds of 1 revolutionists. The proposed arrangement with Haiti Is mado like the one with Santo Do mingo. Republicans in the Senate for the moBt part voted for that. They cannot with much consistency oppose the I In III convention, although they can point with satisfaction to the fact the administration has been obliged to resort to the much-asnnderf "dollar di plomacy" of the republicans.
