CARRIE TURNER'S HISTORY
Girl Who Committed Suicide at Beatrice
Lived in Missouri.
VISITED NEBRASKA WITH HER UNCLE
Mystery Surrounding the Tragedy of
Saturday Night Being slowly
Unrnvclcd - Developments
in the Case.

BEATRICE, Dec. 9.-(Special Teegram.)-
A message was received this afternoon from
the chief of police at Keokuk saying the
home of Carrie Turner, the girl who COM
nitted suicide here Saturday, was at Ka-
hokia, Mo. A message was sent to the mar
shal Of Kahokia and reply received to the
effect that her folks reside there, but stating
further that they would say nothing concern
ing her present whereabouts From scrap
of paper found in her trunk giving list
of Christian names and dates Of birth it
Is believed the girls real name is Carrie
A. Turner, aged 90.
From former residents Of Keokuk
with whom the woman talked, it is
learned that while she claimed to be
resident Of that city, she was not at all
familiar with the city, nor with prominent
citizens, and it is believed that she registered
IN that way to assist in preventing identif-
cation. 1t has also been learned that she
was engaged in the sale of some sort of
publication, and had called upon the county
and city superintendent OF schools and several
members of the school bonro She was
frequent caller at the postofiice and made
inquiry as to when the mail left for Council
Bluffs. The clerks say she mailed consid-
erabe matter to Council Bluffs parties, but
they did not take particular notice of the
names of the parties addressed The weapon
with which the act was done was 22-caliber
revolver, and was purchased by the woman
Friday afternoon at Bartler & Meyers hard
ware store. The body, which lies at the
undertakers. has been viewed by hundreds
of people today.
KEOkUK, Ia, Dec 9.-The woman who
was murdered or committed suicide at Beat

Webster said that the cause Of Cuba was the
cause Of America, because 1t was to perpetu-
ate and extend the liberty enthroned in this
country.
At the conclusion OF Mr. webster's speech
Mr.. DeaVer introduced the following reso-
luton, saying that before 1t was put to vote
Hon. w. j. Bryan would speak to it:
Whereas, The, people of the United States.
enloying ,i rep9piican i government themselves.
ilar form of government throughout the
world, and
Whereas, The citizens Of Cuba are now
endeavoring to secure for themselves the
blessings of lf-government; therefore,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Omaha,
deep and earnest sympathy with the people
of Cuba in their heroic struggle, and
Resolved, That we favor their recognition
by the United States as belligercnts at the
earliest possible moment consistent with our
treaty obligations.
Mr.. Bryan said: THE only question is
whether the Cubans can be free. There are
no people ht to be free unless they will fight
for freedom. Therefore 1t is necessary that
Cuba should achieve its own independence.
Some people say that 1t is not sympathy that
is wanted. but that 1t is aid. II this is so,
then America must not only lberate Cuba,
but must stand by her when lbearted. This
feeling should be suppressed, because it in
wolves an unsettled question. Rather should
we only extend our sympathy and urge other
nations to do likewise.
This resolution Is conservative, but carries
great weight. 1t shows the members of con-
gress that the American people will stand
back of them If they recognize the Cubans as
belligerents when the time arrives. 1t will
do the Cubans good, for it will inspire them
with the courage to continue the struggle. 1t
will do more. 1t will show that the states
which are the greatest representatives of
liberty are not only satisfied with it, but want
every other nation to have the same form of
government
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Bryan's remarks
the resolution was put to a vote and ii was
passed unanimously and with great enthusi-
asm.
Judge G. r. Scott and Thomas j. Majors
also made speeches They spoke in con-
siderably more radical manner than either Of
the others.

MRS. aUINN's STORY IS DOUBTED.
Her Statement Does Not Tally with
the Real Facts.

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-Discrepances be-
tween the facts and the stories told by John
Quinn's wife in Chicago regarding the mur-
der of Alfred Olsen in Brooklyn cause the
police of the latter city to question the We
racity of the Quinn woman. John +. Nc
Greal, when Mrs. Quinn accused of COM
plicity with her husband, is held as a sus-
picious person. The murder was committed
FIVE, instead of two years ago, and instead
Of the vic,im having been taken in boat
out into the channel Of the Bayridge and
Drained, he was shot from ambush as he was
walking in the country near Blythebourne, a
suburb of Brooklyn. No motive for the mur-
der could be discovered and the perpetrators
have hitherto escaped detection. McGreal
says he knew Quinn, who was a plasterer,
but denies that there was any friendship
between them. He had been directed to
discharge Quinn by their employer In 1890,
and had not seen him nor heard of him since
that time. McGreal, whose reputation is
good. has Travelled a great deal since the
murder of Olsen, having been through
South and C.ntral America, Mexico and
California and other western states.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The World today
| says: General Gomez has issued the fol-
lowing explanation of his order to burn
plantations:
To the honored men, victims of the torch:
The painful measure made necessary by the
revolution for the redemption of this land
drenched in innocent blood (from Hatuacy to
our own times) by cruel and mercilass Spain
Will bring misery upon you. AS general-in-
chief of the army of the liberation it Is my
duty to lead it to victory without permit
ting myself to be held back or terrified by
any means necessary to place Cuba in the
shortest time in possession of her dearest
IDEAL / therefore place the responsibility
for so great ruin on those who look on i'm
passively and force to these extreme
measures, which later, fools and dolts that
they are, condemn
After so many years of prayer, humila-
tion and death, when this people of its own
will has arisen in arms, there remains no
other aim but TO triumph. 1t matters not
what means are employed to accomplish it,
This people cannot hesitate between the
wealth of Spain and the liberty of Cuba
Its greatest crime would be to stain the
land with blood without effecting its purpose
because of puerile scruples and fears which
do not accord with the character of men
whom we meet in the field The war did
not begin on February "a; it is about to
begin now. The revolutionary spirit, always
magnitied at the beginning by wild enthusi-
asm, had to be organized, calmed and led
into the proper channels. The struggle
ought to begin in obedience to a plan more
or less methodically studied out but which
may be accommodated to the peculiarlties
of this war. This has now been done. Let
Spain at once send her soldiers to rivet the
chains of her slaves, now that the children
Of the land are in the field armed with the
arms of liberty. The struggle will be ter
rble, but the end will crown the resolution
and courage of the oppressed.

with all hands and that particulars had been
sent by letter. The captain Of the steamer
which came In this evening from Marquette
Mich, says that on Saturday a terrible gale
was blowing over the lake ia-Ihe vicinity of

which was one OF the stannchest tugs on the
lakes, was caught in the hurricane about
forty miles from Marquette. The tugs Camp

to raise two sunken vessels. All the men
who were lost were single, and, with one OK
