LIKE THE LUETGERT CASE
Michael Rollinger of Chicago on Trial for
Wifi. Murder.
1t is Charged That He Strangled the
Woman and Tried to Gre
mate Body.

CHICAGO, December 22-The coroner's
inquest was begun today in the case of
Mrs. Michael Rollinger, who, the police as
sert. was murdered and partially cremated
by her husband The accused man some
what startled the Police and spectators
when confronted by Lena Hecker, the wo-
man for whose sake the crime is alleged
to have been committed, by stolidly staring
at her and then declaring that he did not
know her and had never even met her be-
cused man, coupled with his apparent utter
Indifference to his surroundings, lead the
police to believe that Rollinger is fefgning
insanity.
The Journal today points out twenty
points of remarkable similarity between the
Rollinger case and that of Adolph Luetgert,
now serving a life sentence for wife mur
der. Love of a woman other than the wife
is asserted to have been the leading cause
of both alleged murders. Each of the muir
ders. ii is claimed. was by stranguation.
Both men. one of whom Il sausage
maker and German, the other Il butcher
and an Austrian, qUarreled continually
with their wives. and both suffered business
reverses prior TO the alleged crimes. Luet-
CERT and Rollinger were well acquainted
with each other. and lived in the same
quarter of the city. In the Roilinger case,
in that of Luetgert, a wedding ring Will
play an important part in the esta bllshment
of the corpus deficit. Mrs. Rolingers body
has been exhumed and her wedding ring
cut from her finger.

Ocean Liners Anchored Outside on
That Account.

NEW YORK, December 22-'rhe marine
observers at Sandy Hook and the quaran-
tine stations reported at 1:43 this morning
that dense fog prevented seeing anything.
The White Star Liner Teutonic Porto Rico
steamer Arkadia and the Brazil steamer
Cyprian Prince, which arrived in quaran-
tine yesterday afternoon, are still at anchor
there, being unable 10 come up the bay in
the fog.
The transport Manitoba, reported by Il
pilot anchored outside the bar yesterday, is
10 doubt also in the same place today and
probably incoming steamers are standing
off waiting for the fog to lift. Among the
steamers due are the North German Lloyd
steamer II. II. Meier, from Bremen White
Star steamer Cutie, from Liverpool; Anchor
Line steamer karamania, from the Mediter-
ranean, and Colon steamer Allianca, some
twenty steamers, mostly freight, being due.
On Long Island trains were considerably
delayed and the sound was dotted with
vessels at anchor The Fall River steamer
Pilgrim, which discharged her passengers
yesterday, is still anchored in the sound
and with her it is thought is the Richard
Peck of the New Haven Line, which was
due here yesterday. The City OF Lowell Of
the Norwich Line is probably keeping the
Pilgrim company. The Maine of the Ston-
ington Line reached her dock today being
due yesterday.

NATURALIZATION OF WOMEN.
Interesting Decision in Contested
Election Case in Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. December 22-In the
contested election case of o. H. Brigham
against P. c. Stanford, the court lays down
the rule that an alien born woman becomes
naturalized when she marries a citizen of
the state. The appellant was elected a
member of a board of education in Living
ston county and his election was contested
on the ground that a number of alien wo-
men, the wives of citizens, had been per-
mitted to vote at the election. The court
declares that the marriage of an alien born
woman to a citizen is sufficient to make her
a citizen, and that she may vote under the
same laws that other women vote.

mission, is booked to sail for Europe on
January %. He cannot delay longer in the

obliged to attend the opening of the Paris

OF reaching an agreement very much
brighter than they did just before the ad-

tries, and even making some slight progress

VACANT AMBASsADORSHIPs.
Gossip About Representative Hit
Going 10 Russia.

A conference of Representative Hit with
the President gives rise to renewal of the
story that Mr.. Hit is to be offered a posi-
ton in the diplomatic service. The Russian
enthusiastically is to be filled during the
next month. and nothing would be more
likely than that Mr. Hit should be offered
the place. His name was for a lorg time
linked with the English vacancy, but 1t was
soon ascertaned that it was without his
authority or desire. The general belief is
that Joseph Choate of New York will go
to the court of st. James. Mr.. Hit would
be just the man the President would like
to send to the Russian capital.
In this connection ii may be said that
the talk of Secretary Bliss becoming an
ambassador is the most idle gossip. Mr.
