Although Brant was convinced as
seon as he left the house that he could
not accept anything from the Boom
pointer influence. and that his inter
view with SuSy was fruitless. he knew
that he must temporize. While he did
not believe that his old playmat would
willingly betray him. he was uneasy
when he thought of the vanity and i'm
pulsiveness which might compromise
him-or of a possible jealousy that
might seek revenge. Yet he had no rea-
son 10 believe that Susy's nature was
jealous. or that she was likely TO have
any cause. but the fact was that the
climax of Miss Faulkner's temperance
when they were together affected him
more strongly than the real climax of

Miss Faulkner was almost as much of

what she had been doing there. Could
il be possible that she was obtaining

lie no stronger proof of the unconscious
influence the young girl already had
over him.
He remembered the liveries of the
diplomatic carriage that had borne her
away and ascertained without diff

It was evident from the beginning that
the audience was held more by curiosity
than a deeper feeling of interest. The
realistic scene from Chinatown, San Fran

attentive.
The story in the early scenes satisfies all
demands, and the cast was capable and

MYSTERY OF

Scotland Yard Officers
Tracing a River
Murder.
A Body Found in the Water
With a Rope Wound Tightly
Around the Neck.
Believed d to Be the Remains OF a
Naturalizsd American
Citizen.

NEW YORK. N. Y. Sept. 20. "A dis
patch TO the World from London says
Scotland Y ard is now endeavoring to trace
the murderer or murderers of MorItz Will
helm Won Valtheim, naturalized Amer
lean citizen. and from 1898 10 1896 the
American Consul at Santa Marta, Colom-
bia. On August 5 the naked body of A
man feet inches in height was found
floating in the Thames in the vicinity OF
the docks. A strong lanyard rope was
wound tightly round the neck and down
the back, tying the hands and then Sc
curely fastened to the ankles. The body,
it was declared, had been IN the water a
month, and the doctors affirmed that
death was caused by strangulation before
immersion. The police, content with the
verdict of the Coroner's jury, consigned
the body to grave in Ford Cemetery.
About two weeks ago Nine. Won Valtheim
applied to the Home Secretary for an or
der to have the pody exhumed. as she be-
lieved it 10 be that of her husband. She
said she rad lost sight of him early in the
year and that soon afterward he had
bigamously married a Greek lady, Marie
Magroverdato, whom he met at a Blooms
bury boarding house.
The body was exhumed last FRIDAY
night, and Nine. Valtneim Immediately
identined i. as that of her husband. Won
Valtheim had a remarkable career Born
in the north of Germany he began life in
the German navy. and then fought as q
volunteer for Bulgaria against Servia.
Subsequently he tramped across the Aus
lraliau continent. He married his first
wife, a Miss Yearsiev, at Perth, Western
australia, in 1886. Atterwaru he settled
in the United States. Then he went into
the banana trade at Santa Marta. where
he was appointed United States Marshal.
Won Valthem's second wife, discovering
that he had another wife living, had be-
gun proce 9dings to nulIify her marriage,
but they were postponed on information
that Won Vaitheim had gone to NADIA
gascar. However, a decree nullifvirg the
marriage was granted in July. How the
body came in the river is com plete mys-
terry, but it is suTmised thatVon Valtheim
was thrown over board from some foreign
ship.

forenoon before J. d. Yeomens Of Sioux
City, Iowa, member OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The hearing
here relates only 10 the railroads running
from Kansas City.
The American Warehousemen Associ-
alton has complained 10 the comm iSslon
that the railroads OF the country, since
they have been prevented by the inter
state commerce act from iavoring their
heavy shippers with rebates IN freight
rates, have continued to show fayorltlsm
by granting to these large shippers the
privilege of free storage in their freight
warehouses. By this means railroad
warehouse companies are cut off from
large volume of business, and therefore
the association has made a complaint to
the Interstate Commerce Com mission
ers. K. SummerweI of New York, the
attorney representing the Warehouse
mems Association, said to-day that the
case is probably the most important ever
brought before the commission. Local
freight agents OF the Union Pacific, Rock
Island, Wabash, Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul and the Chicago Great Western
appeared before TIE commission today.
All admitted that their big customers
have been receiving accommodation in
storing for which the railroads are not
compensated.
