RESIGN LIFE TOGETHER.
\ CoiOred Mnn and Woman Agree
to Commit Suicide.

Montgomery. Ala. May 3O.-The discov-
cry yesterday afternoon in Oak Park. this
city. of the decomposing remains of Lula
Elmore completes the chain OF evidence in
story of negro sentimentality. Lula Ell
more and George Wilson lived together in
this city Recently Wilson was called
away for month. On his return he found
another man living with the woman. 4
few days ago he protested, and the wo-
man promised to be loyal. Saturday she
wrote him to meet her at a railroad station
4 mile from town about dark. He did SO.
The following morning he was found half
a mile further down the track with his
threat cut. In the mans pocket. written
on a pencil pad. was a statement purport-
ing TO be signed by him and Lula Elmore.
The effect Of IL was that they had lived to-
gether and were then dying together.
Careful search failed to reveal the wo-
mans body. and il was suspected that she
had committed the murder and left the
writing as blind. The police have been
searching various houses in the city for
her since that time. Yesterday afternoon
persons strolling through the park found
the woman's remains. The park is half
mile from the place where Wilson died.
and the presumption is that he killed his
willing victim in the park and then pro-
ceeded along the railroad to an advan-
tageous place and cut his own throat.

the chiefs camp. mile from there. From
that time l was made his servant. We
Travelled nearly LOCO miles toward the
Peace River district
"In a yeai or two the people all treated
me with respect and the chief came to re-
gard me with marked friendliness. The
knowledge had Of medicine was decided
help to me.
The chief finally offered me the hand
of his daughter. l protested that I had
one wife already, but was forced to wed
the chiefs girl just the same.
Until year ago / was the principal ad-
wiser of the chief. Then disease broke out
among the tribe and they blamed me for
not staying its ravages. / was forced to
flee.

and all had to live on was wild game

BLOODHOUNDS ON THH
KlDpAPHR'S TRAIL
Dogs to Assist in Searching
for Marion Clark.
Will Take Their Scent From the
Baby's Carriage.
Thousands of HandbiIls Issued by
the Police to Re Sent in All
Directions.

New York, May 30.-Bloodhounds will be
placed today upon the trail of abductor OF
abductors of Little Marion Clark in Cen
tral Park, where the child was last seen.
1t is expected by those who have practi-
cal experience of the sagacity of these
animals that they will aid the police very
greatly in the search for the missing child
and maid.
The dogs will take the scent from the
baby carriage which little Marion Occu-
pied just before she was kidnapped and from
some OF the clothing of the nurse which
she left behind. The owner of the dogs
says that they can follow a scent that is
ten days old.
The police sent broadcast yesterday q
circular calling for the arrest OF Carrie
Jones for abduction and containing half
tone reproduction Of 4 photograph of the
missing baby.
| Thousands of copies OF the circular have
been struck off. They will be sent to the
chiefs Of police of every city in the United
States and to all towns and villages within
a days journey of New York. They will
| be posted in every police station in this
| city. SO that every patrolman may be able
10 recognize tue IOSt Cuilu IL ut sees Hti.
| Copies will also be sent to founding asy-
! lums. hospitals and institutions where
children are received.
BY means of these circulars and through
the reproductions OF photographs in the
newspapers, the police hope to make the
| features of the stolen child SO well known
| that concealment will become an impossi-
biiity.
The police do no. expect the child to be
| found in the possession Of the kidnaper
dressed in the same clothing and with the
| same curly hair. banged at the front
They know that whoever WIS clever
enough to plan and carry out the abduc-
| tion of Marion would take the first oppor-
| tunity to change the appearance Of the
child by cutting or dyeing the hair and re-
placing the clothing by that Of an entirely
different character. More reliance Is placed
upon the color OF the eyes. the complex
ion and the pecuIiarities OF the teeth than
upon the other features of the description
as an aid in the recovery of the child.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS CONDEMNED.
Remarkable Speech Made Before nm
EpiNcOpal Club,


| New York, May 30.-Rev. Dr. Pelham
Williams. of Greenbush. Mass, was the
guest of the Church Club of the diocese of
Long Island at its annual meeting at No. .
| Clinton Street. Brooklyn. last night. The
! Church Club is an Episcopal organization.
and the object of the meeting was to dis
cuss the question of how to make the
Sunday schools more beneficial A. A.
Low presided and called on DR.. Williams
for speech.
| Il do not believe in any Sunday school
! that ever was. is or will be-" said Dr.
| Williams. According to my idea. Sunday
schools are maintained to allow some reo-
pie to experiment with the souls of other
peoples children. | have six points for
opposing Sunday schools. First, the laws
OF the Episcopal Church do not in any
| way mention Sunday schools: second, the
average teacher is notoriously incompe-
tent; third, there is great danger in join
| ing amusement with religion; fourth. Sun
! day schools are destructive to regular
| church attendance: fifth. they do much to
destroy parental responsibility and priest
| ly obligation; sixth, Sunday schools have
been the breeders Of irreverence. owing to
| tippant and frivolous teachers"
DR.. Williams said other things OF the
same tenor. There was painful silence
when he sat down.
II. II. Pike. Superintendent of the Sun
! day School of St. Georges Church, in
Manhattan. was the next speaker.
Il am so saddened and upset by what l
have just heard said Mr.. Pike. that
cannot deliver the address which prepar-
ed for you this evening. You must excuse
| me-
Mr.. Pike sat down and the silence be-
came even more dense. Then MIR. Low
called on Silas NJ. Giddings. President of
the Brooklyn Sunday School Union. for an
address.
Il am amazed and astounded," said Mr..
GiddingS, speaking slowly and with en-
phasis. "tha; any man who lays claim TO
little common sense could in this age get
Up and call 5000 600 men and women num-
skulls and ignoramuses. All ! can say is
that ! consider him one of the greatest
curiosities | have ever seen"
Mr. Giddings was warmly appiauded
when he finished speaking. and the meeting
adjourned Immediately afterward.

War on Outside Corporations.

Columbus, May 3O.-The right of New
Jersey and West Virginia corporations and
partnerships to do business in Ohio is
likely soon to be questioned in the supreme
court. Attorney General Monnett is about
to bring proceedings in quo warranto
against one of the many concerns operat-
ing in Ohio for the purpose of testing the
general question whether they are to be
permitted 10 enjoy rights, powers, ard
privileges which are denied domestic cor
porations. The purpose of these corpora
tions in going into other States and incor-
porating under their laws is to escape the
double stock liability which the constitu-
tion of the State Of Ohio imposes upon
those concerns incorporated under the laws
of this State. Attorney General Mon
nett says there is no question in his mind
that suits in custer against these corpora
t;ons can be carried to successful issue.
as the language Of the State constitution is
SO plain as to admit of no other interpre-
tation.

THIEVES STEAL LIVE WIRE.
Cut Down and Carried Away While
the Current Was On.

the Current Was On.
(From the New Haven Evening Resister)
The Fair Haven and westville Railroad
Company reported to the New Haven po-
lice yesterday that some thieves during
Friday night had stolen several hundred
feet of feed wire belonging to the railroad
and in use on the Whitney Avenue line. 1t
was an extraordinary piece of thievery
and unique in this locality. 1t was a case
of stealing 'live" and hot" wire.
The feed wire runs along on the poles
and is used to re-enforce the power of
the trolley wire. The feed wire is heavy
wire. weighing about one pound to the
foot. and is heavily insulated. 1t costs
the railroad company about 20 cents a
pound.
About 700 feet of the wire was stolen
by the thieves. The wire is alive all night.
The cutting of it must have been attend
ed with considerable danger, unless the or
binary protected plyers by railroad men
were employed to cut it.
1t is not known exactly at what hour
the wire was cut and stolen, but it proba-
bly, was near midnight, when all cars had
ceased to run. The crew on the first car
out yesterday morning discovered the
theft. The wire taken by the thieves
weighed about 700 pounds. and can be sold
for junk at about 10 cents pound.
