and is well known in labor circles gen

North Yakima, Aug. 27.-Some time

JUDGE CALDWELL FAVCRS SILVER

preteG in Only One Way.

pfeted in Only One Way.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 26.-Judge Henry
Caldwell Of the United States circuit
court is here to try to enter a decree
tomorrow for the sale of the Santa Fe
railroad. He was loath to talk Of any
thing which concerns him personally.
81 suppose you know that you have
been mentioned in connection with the
presidential nomination." asked the
reporter
Yes" he answered with some show
Of dif1dence, Il have heard some talk
Of it. 1t is a matter about which I DO
not care to talk It is a question of in
dividual preference with the nliIlions
of voters. So far as 7 am concerned,
the mention Of my name is out Of the
question"
The people in the west understand
that you are for free silver. That is
where YOU stand, is it not?" questioned
the reporter.
The face of the judge lightened up
with enthusiasm as he answered: Yes,
sir, that is correct. I am for free silver
without reserve OF any reference to an
interna tional agreement. It is plain TO
me that there can be no international
agreement favorable to silver, because
England will not agree to accept free
silver. What is the use of paying any
attention to foreign countries anyway
Are we not capable Of managing our
own affairs? I think we are, and IL
not I am in favor Of annezing the Uni
ted States to Canada or some other
convenient country"

BOYS BODY FOUND
Chaned Remains Of Little How
ard PietzeI Located at Last.
WAS SLAIN BY DR.. HOLMES
Evidence Which 1t Is said Will Convict
Him Before Any Jury i'll
the Country.

Indianapolis, Aug 27.-Indanapolis
will claim the right to try H. II. Holmes
for murder The claim will be based on
the horrible developments Of today,
which include the finding of the charred
remains of 9-year-old Howard Pietzel
and evidence which before any jury in
the country would convict Holmes of
having murdered him and then par
TALLY burning his body in stove. De-
tectives Geyer of Philadelphia, Rich
ards of indianapolis and Inspector
Gary of the Fidelity Trust company,
have been a work for weeks hunting
for traces of the boys body. This morn
ing the detectives went to Iivington, a
pretty suburb of this city, and before
they had been at work an hour their
attention was called by a local real
estate dealer to a small vacant cottage
situated in the woods at the edge Of
town and removed from any other
dwellings,. The party went TO the house
and Il few minutes later the officers
found beneath the side porch the miss
ing trunk, which was taken from the
side door of the Circle House in this
city October 10 by Holmes and which
was thought to contain the body of the
boy.
In a barn connected with the house
was large stove of cylindrical shape,
of tile same pattern as Holmes bought
in Cincinnati. The stove had been
moved from the house to the stable
by the owner of the house after Holmes
left. It was at once concluded the body
had been burned in the stove and
search begun for the remains
Late in the evening DIR. Barnhills
attention was called by small boy
named Walter Jenny to the stove-hole,
where the stove had been 1t was filled
with refuse. This was pulled out and
the remains of the body were found.
Physicians and dentists were there and
III this refuse hundreds of pieces of
charred bones Were found. The teeth
showed that the body was that of a boy
between s and 10 years old and all the
other bones confirmed this All were
charred and pieces of flesh clung to
some of them. The skull bones and the
pelEis added the same convincing truth.
The boy had evidently been burned in
cob fire in the huge stove found in the
barn.
HoWard's overcoat was found at q
grocery store near by, where Holmes
had left it, saying the boy would call
for it. He never came. Owners Of the
house recognize Holmes from pictures
and several neighbors distinctly re-
member the face. Several people have
identified him and all doubt is removed

had been placed upon it as representing
a large deficit, whereas, 1t was actually
a balance between the two accounts,
the salary account due the librarian for
several months, disbursements, and In
account due the government for several
months copyright fees. These accounts
had remained unsettled, although con-
stant payments had been made by him
to the number Of 10 or 12 during 1881 and
1895 Of copyright receipts, amounting
to over $4,000, besides the s22,i0o now

the recent payment was to maze good
