CHARGE OF MURDER is MADE
Frank Dinsmorc J,iled at Kearney, Charged
with Killing Laus,
OTHER ARRESTS MAY SOON FOLLOW
Mrs. Dinsmorc's Body TO ne Taken to
Chicago for nurinI-Mrs.
Lauc is Tcing
watched.

KEARNEY, Neb.. Dec 6.-(Speclal Tele-
gram Frank L. Dinsmore, husband OF one
of the victims in the mysterious Laue- Dins-
more tragedy at odessa is now in Jail here
He is charged with the murder Of Fred Laue
who was found dead in the house jointly oc-
cupied by the D.nsmore and Dlue families.
When first arrested Tuesday no charge was
placed against Dinsmore. but County At
torney Nye believes the developments of to-
day warrant his being held on this COM
plant.
The indications are that Dinsmore's arrest
is not the only one that will be made in this
case.
The body of Mrs. Dnsmore was brought to
kearney this afternoon and prepared for
burial, the expenses having been paid by
Dinsmore. A brother of the dead woman
living in Chicago telegraphed that he would
reach here tonight and take the remains
back with him for burial
The time OF Laues funeral has not been
announced He was best known as Lane, al
though the correct pronounciatio was as
though spelled Law When he first came
to Kearney he had trouble in getting his
mail under his right name, so changed it to
Lane and has borne that name ever since.
This afternoon Dinsmore said his home
was in Louisiana, but that he had been liv-
ing in Odessa and acting as agent for the
Omaha Elevator company since August 2.
1898 He met his wife twelve years before
their marriage on July 20 last and said they
had kept up correspondence ever since.
For five years previous to their marriage
they had not seen each other, he having been
engaged in different kinds of business in
Nebraska, Kansas and Louisiana She, 1t is
reported, was stenographer for large firm
in st. Joseph, Mo-, until near the time OF
their marriage, when she went to Chicago to
keep house for her father and two brothers.
Dinsmore has no near relatives living.
Laue has an uncle living few miles west
of Kearney and father in Illinois.
Mrs Laue widow of the murdered man or
the suicide, is being closely watched. She
shrinks from discussing the tragedy, but has
given little sign of grief.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 6.-Ward &
Watson, who. it is claimed, have been op-

that they had destroyed all their contracts,
letters and other evidence and left behind
only a stack of bills payable. The firm

NEW BANK COLLECTION LAW
Clearing House Executive Committee
Recommends nn Important Change
in By-Laws.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The result OF the
deliberations of the executive committee of
the conference of the clearing houses, which
represents the most important banking in
terests of the country, was made known to-
day, when it was decided that the appended
bylaw be adopted by all members of the
association:
The Clearing House association shall
have power to establish rules and regula
tons regulating collections by the members
of the associated banks, or by trust COM
panies or others clearing through such
members, and the rates to be charged for
from time to time make any additions to
or changes in such rules and regulations
1t deems judicious. Any rule or reg
ulation upon the subject must receive
majority vote of all the members and when
once established 1t shall not be altered
until 1t has been in force at least three
months, and then only by a majority vote
of the Clearing House association
This action foreshadowed several weeks
ago. after a conference of the larger bank
ing interests of the west, is regarded as
the most important that has yet been taken
in the matter of out flown collections on
checks and is in accord with the action
of the New York Clearing association, which
put similar rules and regulations into oper-
alton recently.
