FOUND THEM DEAD.
The Awful Discovery Made When
Residence Was Broken Open.

KANSAS CITY. Jan. IA special to
the Times from Independence, Kans, says:
A most borrifying discovery was made
this morning, when Al Brown, son-in-
law of George W. Read. manager of the
Long-Bell Lumber Company, broke into
the home OF the latter and found Read.
clad only in his night clothes, sitting dead
In chair before hot stove fed by natural
gas. The body was in an advanced stage
of decomposition. Edith Scott. dome site
in the family. was lying dead on the floor
of her room. and Mrs. Read and her five
year-old son were in bed. The boy was
dying, and the mother was uncon scious.
The terrible tragedy was shrOuded in mYs-
terry. There are many theories current as
to the cause, one being asphyxiation, an
other accidental poisoning, and ano ther foul
play. The fact that the two gas stoves in
the house were burning at full force practi-
cally explOdes the theory OF asphyxiation,
and the fact that no bruises were found on
either body renders the murder theory al
most incredible, leaving accidental poison
ing as the most prObable cause. None of
the family was seen later than Saturday
evening, leaving no doubt that Read and
the domestic had been dead thirty-six
nOuTS before Ihe DOules were discovered.
Every room in the house was intensely hot.
and there being no ventilation, the fumes
from the badly decomposed bodies of the
dead were sitting.
An autopsy was held to-day. but moth
ing definite can be ascertained until an
analysis of the stomach can be completed.
The Coroner will hold an inquest to-mor-
row morning.
INDEPENDENCE, Kans., Jan. 1.-The
doctors, after an examination tonight, de-
cided that the family had been poisoned
by strychniDe, which had probably gotten
into the food. Mrs. Read is still uncon-
scious. but the doctors have hope of her
recovery. The boy will probably die.

Third-We believe that the time has come
when the railroad corporations must either
own the people or the people the corporations,
and should the government enter upon the
work OF owning and managing any or all rail-
roads we should favor an amendment to the
constitution by which all persons engaged in
the government service shall be placed under
civil service regulation of the most rigid
character so as to prevent the increase Of the
power of the national administration by the
use Of such additional government employees.
We demand national currency-safe, sound
and flexible, Issued by the general government,
and full legal tender for all debts public
and private, and that without the use of bank
ing corporations; just, equitable and efficient
means Of distribution direct to the people at a
tax mot to exceed per cent. per amnum, to be
provided as set forth in the sub-treasury plan
Of the Farmers Alliance or some better sys-
tenn; also by payments In discharge Of its Oblt-
cations for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver and gold at the present legal ratio Of
16 to /.
We demand that the amount of the circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than $50 per capita.
We demand graduated income-taX.
We believe that the monies Of the country
should be kept as much as possible in the
hands Of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
limited TO the necessary expenses Of the gov
ernment, economically and honestly admin
istered.
We demand that postal savings banks be es-
tablished by the government for the safe de-.
pos1t Of the earnings Of the people and to ia.
cilitate exchange.
Transportation being means Of exchange
and apublic necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post
office system, being necessity for transmits
sion Of news, should be owned and operated
by the government In the interest Of the
people.
The land, including all the natural sources
OF wealth, Is the heritage Of all the people and
should not be mOnopolized for speculative
purposes and alien ownership Of land should
be prohibited. All lands now held by the rail-
roads and other corporations in excess Of their
actual needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed by the government

EDITOR ADVOCATE: Il respectfully
submit the following queries to Judge
Foster, and beg that he frankly answer
them through the columns Of your
paper, because / think the questions I
ask him TO answer are Of public interest,
and ought to be fully answered by him,
viz:
First-Is it true that you have been
physically unable much Of the time dur
ing the past two years to discharge the
official duties Of your position, and have
regularly drawn your salary 90 though
such official duties had been discharged
by your
Seconds it true that you refuse to
resign your position go that the presi-
dent may sppOint some competent per-
con who is physically able to perform
the duties Of the Office, unless you are
given liberal life pension for your res
ignation, and that bill ia now pending
in congress FOR that purpose?
Third-Is it true that you own O psla-
tiRl residence and valuable income prop
srty in this city sufficient to support
your family in comfortable Circum-
stances, and that during past twenty
years Of your incumbency in your pres
emit position you have been paid 5000
per annum, making Q total OF 100000
paid you by the government up TO pres
ent timer
Fourth-Is it true that you recently
sentenced railroad strikers to thirty
days imprisonment because they refused
to permit others to work in their plaCes2
And il so, please explain how law and
justice require lnfiction Of such penalty
upon a railroad striker who 10 able and
willing to work for fRir wages, and who
only strikes in order to procure better
wages, and why law and justice on the
other hand permits an official TO remain
in Office who cannot perform his duties,
and who will not permit another to take
his place unless he is given liberal LIE
pension by the United States govern
mOntS
Fifth-Is it not true that railroad
lRborers are generally poor men who
own no income properties and whose loss
OF employment brings sore want and
destruction to their fAmilissP And is Il
not also true that they never secure or
demand psy for services they have never
performed, and that when physically un-
able to labor, they neither expect nor
demand that they shall be given liberal
life pensions BY their employers befOTe
they will permit others to take their
places3
In conclusion, my dear Judge, / beg
leave to state that / entertain no un-
kind feeling towards you, and only call
your attention to above queries because
it seems 10 me that they should be fairly
answered and explained.
