REFORMER HICKS MAKES CHARGES
AGAINST LADY SOMERSET.
Says Many of Her Houses in London
Are Tenanted by DisreputabIe Peo-
ple-Investigation Probable.

CHICAGO, March 5.-A statement made
in New York yesterday by William Z.
Hicks. the refrmer, that many of Lady
Henry Somersets houses in London were
tenanted by disreputable people is Great
ing discussion that may lead to investi-
cation of the charges. The Daily News
says it is probable that resolutions ask
ing for an investigation will be introduced
at the clergymen's meeting next Monday
and that Rev. George r. Mitchell has been
asked to preside at an undenominational
meeting to discuss the matter and after
due investigation vindicate Lady Henry
Somerset or support William Everett Hicks
in his crusade.
Said the Rev. Frederick Suzer to-day:
Hicks holds too high position among the
thinking men of America to make public
statements of this character which he has
not verified by personal investigation, and
IL Lady Henry Somerset is a suffragist,
as she claims, she has no excuse for not
knowing what her agents are doing. The

support and we have a right to demand
that its highest officer be either vindicated

The Rev. T. G. Atteberry, secretary of
the Woman's Grand Rescue Work, thinks
the matter should be investigated thorough

THAT a mass meeting should be held in
New York on this subject shows what is
expected of the leaders of the reform move
ments regardless of SEX
Mrs. w. r. Sanborn said: MIR. Hicks is
right to denounce Lady Somerset if she
is turning her estate into a deer park
to escape taxation. Think of thirty-one
thousand acres on which not an. acre is
given to the rearing of a child. @Reform-
erS must learn that reform, Like charity,

Ida May WclIs's Mission Not Endorsed
by Methodist Ministers.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-Miss Ida
May Wells, the negro woman who is cru
sading against the lynching of negroes in
the South, has no love for the Methodist
ministers of this city. At a meeting of
Methodist ministers Miss Wells was dis
cussed and while the reverend gentlemen
approved of her mission they objected to
indorsing her, as she had not proven she
was member of the Methodist Church.
During the discussion Miss Wells came into
the room and attempted to speak in her
own behalf. She was not allowed to pro-
ceed and was finally, with other women,
excluded from the room, while Bishop
Goodsell related some thrilling instances Of
negro depravity which he did not consider
proper for ladies to listen to. Miss Wells
denounced her treatment by the ministers
as shameful.

ON A BLOODY TRAIL
Chicago Police Fluid Real Evidence OF
MurG1- In Holmes Case.

MurCoN IN MONIES Ease.
CHICAGO, Aug. Human blood was
found yesterday in Holmes Castle" be-
spattered from one room to another.
Science aided the detectives where other
agencies had failed, and uncovered more
startling evidence against Holmes and
Pat Quinlan that had yet been found In
the Castle " The detectives and medical
expert found in the Castle trail o.
blood leading from the doorway of the
dining room of Mrs. Julia l. Conner to
the sink in the same room; from there
into the dark chamber where she and
Pearl formerly slept. and then to the in.
side door opening into the bath room,
where the secret trap door was; on the
aseboard OF that room above the trap
door, and down the secret staircase which
led to the false elevator shaft, and thence
into the basement. The blood was human.
A cloth of blood mixed with human hair
was also found.
In the debris in the dark chamber
where the mother and child slept were
found some child's underwear stained
with Blood q pair of brown diagonal
blood; the pocket of womans dress,
blood soaked; a handkerchief which had
been used to wipe up the blood with, and
various cloths and parts Of undercloth.
ing spotted with blood. These articles
were examined microscopically at tina
time Of their discovery and the test made
shovel that the stains We're human
blood. A rope was found in the dark
chamber. and in the knots blood was dis.
covered.
In Pat Quinlan's private rooms were
found two trunks of a theatrical type
One was purchased from Meeks in Dem
yer. On both trunks we're the initials
an. Il W." These initials were painted
over, The initials are those of Minnie II.
Williams. Qulnlan stated, after being
taken into custody, that the trunks be-
longed to him. The detectives have now
che truth; both trunks belonged to Min
ME Williams. Quinlan will be confronted
with this evidence. He will also be faced
with books found in his possession, and
which belonged to Minnie Williams.
There are magazines bearing date as
late as April, 1894, demonstrating that
Minnie Williams was alive at that time
The fact that one OF her trunks was
bought in Denver is explained by the in.
formation that after she entered the em-
ploy of Holmes she entered the theatrical
business in Denver. Chief Badenoch also
secured, in addition to the above evil
dence, positive proof that Benjamin f.
Pitzel vas at Dwight as a patient when
Emeline Cigrand was there as stenog-
rapher. He went under the name of
Robert E. Phelps.
Under the name OF Phelps he met EN-
lily Cigrand ana wooed her. The girl did
not leave Dwight of her own free will,
but was discharged for inability to prop
erly perform her duties. AS soon as she
left Dwight she came to Chicago and en-
tered the employ OF Holmes There again
she met Pitzel under the name of Phelps.
The inference drawn by the officers from
the trail Of blood is that the blood, being
human, came from some person killed in
the dark chamber, dragged from there to
the trap.door, thence down the secret
doorway to the basement beneath.
