room there were other means of dis
posing of the body.
When it was ascertained that the
body was not in the vicinity of the
church the theory at once suggested
itself that the murderer might have
followed out the plan of the Chazal
murderers-shipped the remains in a
box or trunk. This at once suggested
itself to John M. Hanson, who up to
this time has furnished the police with
nearly every clue in both cases. and he
at once recolleeted that in going over
the books of the church last winter,
checking up Hermans' financial af-
fairs. he came across am item of 1915
which had been paid to Romney &
Taylor. the lumber dealers, for a box.
In following it up. however, nothing

Bad at Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 25.-A storm of I'M
usual severity struck Chicago at 2:15
o'clock this morning. Easements in the
down town districts were flooded and
considerable damage was done. Dur
ing the short space of ten minutes from
2:20 to 2:30 nearly an inch of water
fell. The storm was accompanied by
terrific thunder and lightning. The
sewers were unable to carry away the
water as fast as it fell and the streets
became flooded for time. The storm
came at about the hour when the pa
pers were preparing to go to press. The
press rooms of nearly all the great
morning dailies were flooded, necessi-
tating the calling of assistance from
the fire department. 1t is feared much
damage has been done through the
city by the heavy downfall.

NO END TO THE FINDS.
Hermans Was in Possession of Miss
CIausen's Money.

AAcEH1uhS WIS IN POSSESSION OF MISS
CIausen's Money.
One more important discovery was
made yesterday when it was learned
that Hermans was in possession of
Miss ClauSen's money prior to her dis
appearance. This she told Mrs. Peter
sen who resides in the church and is
substantiated by the fact that when
ever Miss Clausen made any purchases
of groceries she always had it charged
up to the minister. Pastor Hermans
did most of his trading with Mr..
Parker, the groceryman on Second
South, and he remembers well Miss
Clausen coming into the store, pur-
chasing groceries, and in most in
stances having them charged to the
preacher.
Miss Clausen was a saving girl and
from those who were her intimate
friends it is learned that she had
about 5000 saved up. 1t is not thought
she had the money in bank. but kept
1t in her trunk. Some believe that
when Miss Clausen entered the pastors
study that Sunday night she asked
him for settlement as she needed
money to go into the country for
few days recreation, and that this
precipitated a disagreement which
ended in her being murdered

POCATELLO Ida. May 25.-John
Strong was given a hearing before
Judge Arney today upon a charge of
arson committed in this city last
March. He waived examination his
bail was fixed at $4,000 and in default of
it he was remanded to the county Jail
to await trial This is the man brought
here from Salmon City few days ago
by Sheriff Sullivan. Strong made a
confidant of a man named Mills, now in
jail here for cattle stealing, and the
story told Mills is that he nursed and
fed for several days the man who
stabbed Policeman Scanlon in this city
last month. He says the murderers
name is Mccoy, and that he took to the
hills. This furnishes the police with an
important clue, although Strong refus-
es to talk. Eleven hundred dollars re-
ward is offered for the apprehension of

FREE ALCOHOL.
Principal Topic Under Consideration
BY the House.

WASHINGTON, May 25-Mr. KEN
ePop., Neb.) resumed his obstructive
policy at the opening of the session of
the house today, entering objections
wherever possible.
Mr.. Babceck of Wisconsin promptly
claimed the day for District of Column
biz business
When ii was concluded, on motion of
Mr.. Evans tRep., KY the house went
into committee of the whole 10 con-
slider the bill to repeal the free alcohol
clause of the existing tariff law. Mr..
Evans, in charge of the bill, opened the
debate in support of the measure.
EXPLAINING THE NECESSITY
for the legislation. He said the bill
would not affect the claims now pend
ing amounting to $15,O0O,00o.
Mr.. Evans offered the amendment to
the bill. which had been agreed upon
as a compromise by some of the friends
and opponents of the measure. 1t pro-
vided for a joint committee of three
members from each house of congress
to consider all questions relating to the
free use of alcohol in the arts. " re-
port their conclusions to congress in
December.
Speaking to the question of the jus
tice of the claims filed under the pres
ent law, Mr.. Evans expressed the
opinion that as the manufacturers had
charged their customers the amount
Of the tax. they were not entitled TO
have it refunded by the government.
If the courts decided otherwise, the
government would have to pay the pen
atty of crude and ill-considered legis-
la:ion.
Mr.. Russell CRep., Conn.,, in charge
of the opposition of the bill, said he
conceived it to be the policy Of the Re
publican party ia, care for and further
the manufacturing industry of the
country. and, 50 conceiving. he believed
il should give manufacturers free al

interrupted Mr. Mcmillan, that Major
Mckinley. while chairman of the com
ininlee on ways and means. made no
provision for free alcohol in what was
known as the Mckinley bill?"
Mr.. Russell in reply. called atren-
ton to the fact that the Mckinley law
reduced the tax on alcohol ST1s per
cent. and at the same time increased
the import duties on goods in the man
ufacture of which alcohol is used.
Give US the Mckinley law as
substitute. and we viii forego the de-
nand for free alcohol" he said.
Mr.. Hill followed in opposition to the

General Wilson will take early steps to

adviees of the reported wanton destruc-

Frequent reports have been received

have been removed long ago but for the
difficulty in finding some one qualified to
