Believed He Had a Room Who're He
smOthered His Victims.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9-The pick of work
man in the Holmes castle uncovered
strange construction yesterday which
carries more horrible suggestiveness of
the conspirator's work.
In the closet of the room on the sec
ond floor where Holmes used to sleep,
there is gas pipe running over the
floor. Where the pipe meets the wall
it turns down into the floor, and beneath
the boards is cut off. The gas pipe
runs directly to the windowless room
where it is believed Mrs. Conner was
murdered There are so gas jets in the
room, only the open ends of the pipe
sticking out of the wall.
The cut off is believed to be one of
Holmes instruments of death. Sitting
in his room he could turn on the current
with ease that would fill the dark sleep
ing apartment beyond the hall and bath
room with the deadly gas, asphyxiating
the occupants. The cutoff was a secret.
1t could be reached simply by lifting a
board in the closet This was the board
that yielded to the workman's pick.

MASON CITY. Ia, Aug. Bishop Tho
burn, the missionary bishop of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, was interviewed
last night relative to the massacre of the
Christians in China, and knowing all
about the conditions there he pronounces
the situation very alarming.
He is fearful that greater slaughter
will soon follow. He looks to China to
attempt to kill or famish all missionaries,
but says that he does not believe that
this will ever be done.
Asked regarding his opinion as to
what should be done, he said the Euro
pean powers should at once put a strong
armed force at the principal ports of
China and the nation should be taken by
the throat and made to behave.
What is true of China, he says, ia true
of Turkey
