THE MURDER or SMELL
Millionairs's Death Recalled By
Recent Events.
A WORLD FAMOUS CRIME
The Death Of His Daughter Coincident
With tho Arrest OF . Suspect
II . Circumstance OF Pc
culiar Significance.

For the last few days Chicago has
been talking OF the Smell murder. a
crime which 10 years ago startled the
country for miles round and was
eclipsed only by the murder OF DIR.
Cronin in mystery and popular inter-
est. After ~slumbering for years ard
almost slipping int the o~bscurity
which overtakes all the great murder
mysteries. the killing Of the West Side
Millionaire was recalled to the chicago
public by two events. which. strange
ly enough. followed n another close
ly-the death OF Mrs. Alice Smell Nc
Crea Green. a daughter Of the murder
ed man. and the arrest OF a a sup
posed for a time to be William b. Tas-
colt. the alleged slayer of Smell. The
arrest of h suspect by h police Of
the Harrison street station may no:
after all be merely Incidental with the
demise OF the daughter OF the aged
millionaire. who was shot down while
defending his property from burglars.
There is reason to suppose that the re-
iva of the murder story in the minds
Of the public by Mrs. Green inspired
the informant OF the police who point
I'd out the suspected man. This infor-
mant was himself nee arrested In In
d~ianapolis on suspicion of being Tas-
colt. and he declares he has since de-
voted his time to searching for the
mysterious young man who disappear

death. probably inspired johnson. the
informant of the police, to renew MS
quest for the murderer, n resulted
In the arrest of the m a whom the de-
tectives at C declared was not the
much wanted Tascott.
But two other murders in Chicago
acquired such world wide fame as did
the killing of Amos J. Smell. the mil
~lionaire. These were the assassination
OF Carter II. Harrison inc the murder
OF DIR. Cronin. Although Smell was
an old-time resident of Chicago, he
was not widely known until after his
death. He was not a society man in
the popular acceptance OF the term.
nor did he mingle in politics. but de-
voted himself quietly to amassing a
fortune. in which regard he was en-
inently successful. Like many anoth-

Soldiers Made Yesterday Afternoon.
The meeting of the ladies of the Con-
gregation Mishkan Israel, held in the
assembly room Of the temple, yester-
day afternoon, for the purpose of MAX
ing summer clothing and bandages for
the soldiers in the United States army,
was indeed busy one. The committee
appointed at a recent meeting and
which consisted of Mrs. Leo II. Herr,
Mrs. l. Rosenberg, Mrs. Max Adler,
Mrs. J. B. Ullman and Mrs. Maier
Zunder, was very successful in their
work of soliciting contributions of fan
mel and necessary articles, as was
shown by their report that over $50
yards Of flannel was secured.
At yesterdays meeting there were
about forty ladies present and they
devoted their energies toward making
bandages, for which there is now a
growing need. They completed over
one hundred. Several sewing machines
were in constant operation. A large
amount of work will be completed by
the end of the week.

IN THE HARBOR.

The Recent Explosion Of a Mine.
A government official last night
speaking of the explosion last Satur-
day afternoon Of one of the submarine
mines recently planted in our harbor
said that pleasure boat parties and
boatmen need have no fear of the
mines as they are all marked by buoys
and hence sufficient warning to keep
off Is given. The official said that he
himself went out sailing yesterday and
found plenty Of sea room in the har-
Dor without approaching the mines.
He though that the mine which ex-
ploded Saturday was exploded purpose
ly as a test operation. The oyster
steamer Ruel Rowe, one Of the fleet be-
longing to H. G. Rowe & Co.. was
working on Saturday when the explo-
sion took place, about 1000 yards dis
tant from the white spar buoy (which
marks the eastern line Of the field of
mines The employees Of the oyster
steamer felt a shock as though the
steamer had struck an obstruction and
a dull rumbling sound was heard.
Another gentleman conversant with
the matter said last evening that the
mine explosion on Saturday was due. to
the fact that the mine had been dam
aged during the previous forty eight
hours, and consequently when the test
was applied it went off. Some one had
got over the danger line during the pre-
vious forty-eight hours and his craft
had damaged the mine apparatus, and
most fortunately no loss Of life occur
red. No one need fear any danger as
long as they keep in the three hundreds
foot-wide channel, which Is left free
from mines and torpedoes. The mines
do go off once in a while, ais, for i'm
stance, this one in our harbor and one
that exploded at Jacksonville, Fla, last
week. Distinct and explicit instruc-
tions are furnished to all shipmastars.
tug captains and all who sail in the
harbor as far as possible, 80 that none
need interfere with the mines. The
decentralization channel is the only
place of safety for boats when in the
mine locality. This extends from the
lighthouse to the white buoy. Besides
a patrol boat is on duty night and day
all through each twenty-four hours to-
warn people to keep away from the
danger ground.
