IDEHTITY OF THE
BODY HOT SOLVED
Youth Who Died in Cambridge
City Stable Proves a
Deep Mystery.
oAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN
OPINION AS TO WHETHER HE
WAS MURDERED, SUICIDED OR
DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES
EQUALLY DIVIDED.
Little additional information has
been secured by Coroner A. L. Bram
kamp to establish the cause of death,
or the identity of the well dressed
youth whose badly decomposed body
was found Sunday morning In the
shed on the ball park grounds at Cam
bridge City.
There U no evidence to substantiate
the theory that the lad was murdered,
except that there was nothing of value
on the young man's person, which
would lead to the murder for robbery
theory. The other theories that death
was due to natural causes or suicide
are equally well based.
Nothing, has been heard from the
Chicago clothing, company which
made the suit the victim wore. Night
Watchman Hunt, employed on the
Pennsylvania construction work told
the coroner that a lad, answering the
description in some respects of the
body found Sunday, .was wandering
long the railroad ' last April. When
Hunt saw him he was seated near a
boiler, and asked ' whether he would
have to leave his place. lie said that
he had no place to gov' . .,
Hunt took him to-his shanty," keep
lng him-there until 4 o'clock in the
morning. He was sent away at that
time because there : were strict orders
against allowing any one in the night
watchman's shanty. Hunt gave the
young man; his lunch and the boy ate
ravenously. -He saldj that . that was
the first bite to eat he had had for
two days. ;,, .
The young man did not state his
name, but said that he was on his way
to Celina, Ohio, where he had a broth
er and a mother. He had been in
Texas during the winter. Coroner
Bramkamp doubts ;whether this is the
same man whose body, was found Sun
day, owing . to the- badly advanced
state of decomposition of the body.

Chicago, May 24. Bailey's comet,
the enigma of astronomers the world
over, has 'played another trick upon

RAH-RAHS PARADE
Earlham college students turned out
cn masse last night and celebrated
their recent oratorical and athletic
victories with a parade down Main
street. A spring wagon in which were
seated the men who had won honors
for the school, was hauled by the stu
dents through the streets and the air
was rent with college cheers. The pa
rade attracted considerable attention.

Name with Applause.
NAME NEAL FOR CONGRESS
(American News Service)
Lebanon, May 24. Mention of
Roosevelt this morning caused the
first ( real demonstration during
Mount's address before the Ninth Dis
trict republican convention. The men'
tion of Taft aroused some enthusiasm
but Senator Beveridge's name at the
climax of the speech was greeted by
prolonged cheering. The fireworks
started when the rules were put up
for adoption. A floor fight was made
to cut out the Tule which sought to
keep the field clear for the five regu
lar entries, and finally the rule which
barred out dark horses was stricken
from the report. W. H. Bershman, of
Hamilton county, tried hard to com
mit the convention to the county op
tion law. There were speeches for
and against the insertion of an option
plank but optionists lost on a vote,
State Chairman Lee arose inside the
box and declared that the State Con
vention had not repudiated the option
law.
E. E. Neal was nominated after sev
eral ballots.

hopes of locating the leak. He found
It all right An alarm was turned
and the Are department ouirV-iv

ERECT MONUMENT
TO UNKNOWN DEAD
Good People of Bethel Will
Honor Memory of the
Nameless Sleepers.
CEREMONY NEXT SUNDAY
PRINCIPAL ADDRESS WILL BE
DELIVERED BY A. C. HARRIS
WILFRED JESSUP WILL ALSO
BE A SPEAKER.
In connection with the memorial
day services at Bethel five miles north
of here next Sunday a monument will
be erected on the cross streets and
dedicated to the "unknown dead" who
participated in the civil war. Those
in charge of the memorial services
have completed arrangements and are
satisfied that the celebration this year
will far surpass those of the past.
The monument to the unknown dead
will be dedicated by Wilfred Jessup of
this city. It will be decorated with
flowers. The monument is not a pre
tentious affair, its purpose being to
signify the honor and respect which
citizens hold for those who so gallantly
gave up their lives in the great con
flict and who are buried in unmarked
and in some Instances, unknown
graves.
The Hon. Addison C. Harris of In
dianapolis, former minister to Austria-
Hungary, will deliver the memorial
address. His ability is well known in
this county, having spoken here on
numerous occasions. He was born
and raised in Clay township. The
musical selections will be rendered by
the New Madison, Ohio, band, and the
Bethel Sunday school children.
Bethel is expecting a large crowd
from over the county. That commun
ity furnished ' a greater number of re
cruits to the civil war in proportion to
its population than perhaps any other
community in the county.
MET WITH CHRISTIE
A representative audience of fifty,
including business men, farmers and
county officials attended the meeting
in the office of County Superintend
ent C. W. Jordan, this afternoon and

of being honored by its selection by
Prof. Christie.
An organization was effected at the
meeting as follows: C. W. Jordan,
chairman, and C. T. Tingle, secretary.
After a few remarks by Mr. Jordan,
Mr. Christie made response and spoke
for half an hour or more in outlining
the purpose of the short course.
MRS. BEHTLEY DEAD

in this city, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. E. W. Griner at Ox

VETOED ORDINANCE
As was expected Mayor Zimmerman
has vetoed the fire works ordinance
passed by the city council at the last
meeting placing a restriction on cer

PRODIGAL SON DEAD
Outcast Son of the Murdered
Millionaire Snell Dies
in Poverty.
OLD TRAGEDY RECALLED
Chicago. May 24. Albert J. Snell,
son of Amos J. Snell, millionaire, who
was murdered in his home in Wash
ington boulevard in 1SSS, was found
dead in bed yesterday in a cheap room
ing house at No. 9 Clark street A cor
oner's jury returned a verdict of death
due to organic heart disease.
Snell was fifty years old. He had
lived at the rooming house a little
more than a year. He was a brother of
Mrs. Grace Snell-Coffin-Coffin-Walker-Coffin-Layman-Love,
known as the
most married and divorced woman in
the United States. She has been asked j
to take.charge of the funeral arrange
ments. After spending the fortune left him
by his father In high living and prodig
al entertainments of his friends Snell
became an outcast, and was ignored by
other members of the Snell family. Fi
nally, when utterly without means of
support he became a laborer on the
river front. After his health failed five
years ago he eked out a miserable exis
tence by running errands and doing
odd jobs about the docks.
The death of Snell recalls the sensa
tional murder of his father, known as
the Tollgate King of Milwaukee ave
nue. This murder, the mystery of
which has never been cleared . up was
charged to William Taseott a youth of
the neighborhood.
Taseott, who had been befriended by
the millionaire, knew that Snell kept a
large sum of money in a safe in his
home. It was believed that he was the
burglar who was robbing the safe
when he was interrupted by the ap
pearance of Snell in the room.
The millionaire was shot dead. Tas
eott disappeared. He was never cap
tured, although he was reported to
have been seen in numerous cities in
all parts of the country.
A man died in Europe about a year
ago, who was believed to have been the
murderer.
The Snell fortune was nXde through
toll gates In Milwaukee avenue when
it was a plank road owned by the eld
er Snell. It was on this road that the
toll gate riot3 of thirty years ago took
place.
RELEASED ON BOND
Ferris Holsinger, colored, was ar
rested last evening by Patrolman
Menke, but what charge will be placed
against the woman the police are as
yet unable to determine. It is said
that she was creating a disturbance
in the north end and it is also alleged
that she caused some excitement by
discharging a revolver in that section
of the city. She has been released on
$50 bond.

WONDERS OF A WATCH. I
Ita Marvelous Mechanism and the
Power That Moves It
We bear much from time to time of
the wonders of this or that complicat
ed and intricate macbiue, but there
are few pieces of machinery more mar
velous than that of the common watch.
A watch, it may be stated as a gen
eral proposition, is the smallest, most
delicate instrument of the same num
ber of parts that has ever been de
vised. About 175 different pieces of
material enter Into its construction,
and upward of 2.400 separate opera
tions are comprised in its manufacture.
Certain of the facts connected with
its performance are well nigh incredi
ble when considered as a whole. A
blacksmith strikes several hundred
blows on his anvil 1n a day and. aa a
matter of course, is glad when Sunday
comes, bat the roller Jewel of a watch
makes every day and day after day
432.000 Impacts against the fork, or
157,680.000 blows during the coarse of
a year, without stop or rest some
3,153,600,000 blows daring the space of
twenty years, the period for which a
watch Is usually guaranteed to keep
good time.
Bat the wonder of it does not cease
here. It has been calculated that the
power that mores the watch is equiva
lent to only four times the force used
In a flea's jump. The watch power is
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent of a four flea-power. One
horsepower would suffice to operate
270.000,000 watches.
Furthermore, the balance wheel of a
watch Is moved by this four flea-power
1 43-100 inches with each vibration, or
35S miles continuously in one year.
Not much oil is required to lubricate
the little machine on its &50O mile
run. It takes only one-tenth of a drop
te oil tbe entire machinery for a year's
servicev Harper's Weekly..

Instruments at a Western
University Record a Se
vere Earthquake,
SHOCK LASTED 3 MINUTES
SEISMOGRAPH SHOWS MOVE
MENT WITH AMPLITUDE OF SIX
MILLIMETERS FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH.
(American Kews S.vvice)
Santa Clara, Cal., May 24. A se
vere earthquake has occurred in the
Pacific Ocean, 1,490 miles southwest
of here, according to seismic records
at the Santa Clara college observatory
where the following bulletin was is
sued today:
"Four seismic effects were recorded
on the machines. The first began at
3:48 p. m., lasting six seconds', the
second at 3:59 p. m., lasting five sec
onds; the third at 4:02:20 p. m., last
ing three minutes and 35 seconds. The
fourth at 4:07 p. m., lasting 40 sec
onds.
"The movement that predominated
is clearly from the south. The next
in order of magnitude is from the
west; finally comes the vertical which
is the least, but not inconsiderable
and equal to the movement from the
west. The maximum amplitude of the
south wave is six millimetres."

TRIAL OF BRIBERS
Democratic Leader Charged
with Illegally Aiding Lor

ARGUE ON TECHNICALITY
DEFENDANT'S COUNSEL ASSERT
CASE DOES NOT COME WITHIN
JURISDICTION OF STATE, BUT
THE FEDERAL COURTS.
Chicago, May 24. Lee O'Neill
Brown, leader of the Democratic wing
of the state legislature, under indict
ment for paying a bribe of $1,000 to
obtain a vote for William Lorimer for
United States senator, today began a
battle to clear himself of the charges.
His first step was taken in question
ing the jurisdiction of the state in his
case."
Arguments on this proposition took
up almost the entire day.
Counsel for Browne in opening hie
argument stated that the indictment
charging that the defendant paid Rep
resentative Charles A. White $1,000
to vote for Senator Lorimer, does not
constitute a crime against the state of
Illinois, that in voting for Senator
Lorimer, White acted as an officer of
the U. S. and not as an officer of Illi
nois, and that the offense charged
against Browne is cognizable only in
the federal courts.

GATHER ABOUT THE BOARD AT
OFFICIAL LUNCHEON ROOSE
VELT TREATED BY SPECIALIST.
London, May 24. In spite of Eng
land's mourning for King Edward, the
municipal reception to Theodore
Roosevelt to be held on May 31 will be
one of the most notable ceremonies in
years. It was announced early today
that among the guests at the Lord
Mayor's luncheon will be the Duke of
Connaught, Ambassador Whitelaw
Reid, and many prominent members of
the American colony. The luncheon
will follow the presentation of the free
dom of the city in a gold box.
Although the first plans had to be
materially changed because of the
King's death, the ceremonies will be of
much interest.
Mr. Roosevelt today was treated
again by a throat specialist. His con
dition, though not serious, is annoy
ing. One of the greatest strains to his
voice is his correspondence. Nearly
every day the ex-president is compelled
to dictate for hours, and even then he
can attend to only the essential part of
his correspondence.
Several personal friends of Mr.
Roosevelt called on him today at the
home of Col. Arthur Lee, with whom
tbe Roosevelts are staying.
