Still a Mystery.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-It is said the police
have received important clues in the
Cronin case and will soon unravel the
mystery. This morning Lakeview officers
arrested P. o. Sullivan, Lakeview ice
man, who is believed to know something
about the Cronin matter. Col. w. n. Rend
visited police headquarters, went into the
morgue and positively identified Cronins
remains. He said: II can lay my hand on
the head of the man who instigated this
crime." When spoken to later about the
matter, he refused to talk except to the
authorities. During the afternoon the
coroner impanelled a jury to make inves-
tigation as to the cause of death, and ad-
journed the hearing till next Tuesday,
pending investigation by the police.
Tonight: thirty hours after the discovery
Of DR.. Cronin's corpse, the mystery of his
manner Of his taking off is now the darkest
secret of all. It has been almost conclu-
sively shown that, contrary to appearance,
his skull was not cloven or even fractured.
There is absolute certainty that the man
was not strangled. The doctors are com.
pletely puzzled. The beginning to the
post -mortem took place early this evening,

jury to-day for larceny as bailee in trying
to sell horse he hired OF the liveryman,

first implicated Black in the Cronin mys-
terry. Woodruff was very much disappoint-
ed that the detectives did not accept
his offer to go out with them and work on
the CrOnin murder case. He spent a lone

A REPORTER MAKES A DISCOVERY.
CHICAGO, May 23.-Nm. A. Hotchkiss, a
reporter for the Inter Ocean, did little
police work tonight on his own account.
The result may be the disclosure that
another person besides Cronin was mur-
dered. Hotchkiss found that the suburban
police had neglected to search the catch
basin where Cronin's body was found after
removing the corpse. The newspaper man
decided to undertake the work himself,
and little patience and toll soon showed
that he was not to 20 unrewarded. In
the bottom of the sewer basin, concealed
in water. was found bloody towel exact
ly similar to the one which was wrapped
about Cronin's head. Further cropping
brought up single human finger. The
member was decomposed, and it was i'm
possible to determine whether it was
mans or wOman's.

THE CHICAGO STEEL COMBINE
Pen-isslvnnfa Manufacturers Are Not
frightened by IL.


Frightened by It.
P4u.ADFLpHiA. March 16.--Represent-
ai.,e steel men here say the powerful
new combinations formed in Chicago
VIII not be antagonistic to them. The
new organization with its big capital Is
made by a consolidation Of three COM
panies. and this, 50 it is said, is only
practically removing two competitors
from the field. Tiaere is no indication
that there is any intention to disturb
prices. and as far as the general trade is
concerned, everything will go on as be-
fore. The new company, with its vast
resources, il is admitted, could be dam
gerous competitor if so minded, but moth
ing of disturbing nature is warranted
of what has been said and done.
There is already a firmer feeling in
steel rails, y says secretary X. II. Kennedy,
of the Bessemer Steel Company, land
the combination of the Chicago interests
strengthen the situation further. think
ruinous competition will be avoided. In
placing orders in Chicago consumers will
have but one company to deal with,
where before there were three, with one
liable to cut under the other. Now this
cannot be done and the effect viii be
beneficial"
All the Pennsylvania mills came into
competition with the Chicago mills foT
western orders and the more competitors
there are the more likelihood there is OF
shading prices. AS the nVlnber of com
petitors is reduced the faQdity for main
tanning prices is advanced proportion
ately. Therefore the union of the three
Chicago mills is considered of advantage
to the trade generally.

A short time ago, this topic of con-
vcrsation was brought up. and one
gentleman, who evidently was posted,
made a statement that California had
larger number OF square miles than all
the regular Eastern States put together.
He was loudly laughed at by his COM
panions, who were so iDcrcdulous that
a bet of an elegant supper was made,
tho whole party betting against the one
man. 1t did not take him long to win
the bet; he showed that Maine has 35,-
