B1sMARcK, N. D., April ~ The au-
thorities Of Emmons county, whore the
six members Of the Spicer. family were
murdered in . mysterious and brutal
manner last February. are now on the
way to q complete unraveling Of the
mystery. Not long ago one Of two
halfbreed Indians, who are under ar
rest charged with. the crime, made a
partial confession accusing his COM
panion Of having instigated and car
ried out the crime. This confession
has been supplemented BY the con-
fession Of two Indian boys who
were suspected Of knowledge Of the
crime. They state chat they
happened sc the Spicer place
the day the murder was committed,
and found the two halfbreeds there.
The members of the family were muir
dered and the boys were induced to
keep silent through fear Of being sus.
pected Of having been concerned in the
matter. "A division Of the property
stolen from the place was made, and
one Of the boys secu- q peculiar gold
ring, which finally led to the detection
Of their knowledge OF the crime. AL
four persons concerned are closely con
fined and will have heaiing May 8.

Naval Constructor Bowies Is Charged
with Showing Favoritism.

New York. June 25.-The' charges Of
favoritism, which have been preferred
against Naval Constructor Bowles.
were made the matter of an investiga-
tion. which has been begun before
Commander c. II. Davis at the Brook
lyn navy yard.
Philip B. Low, who represented the
Fifth congressional district OF New
York, was present in the interests of
one Of the parties who had lost his
place In the yard. He refused to say
whom he represented, but volunteered
the assertion that the ability to retain
a position in the yard was too much
governed by politics.
IT was understood. however that
Henry II. Dean. an electrician employ
ed in the construction department, and
Charles Hanldns, also an electrician,
who had been discharged, were before
the commissioner and had made a pro.
test
The hearing was conducted behind
closed doors. IL was said that the hear
ing would probably be ended by Satur-
day, when the commander would sub
NIT report to Secretary of Navy Long
at Washington.
The discharges. according to Con-
structor Bowles. were made strictly on
the ground OF economy
