MYSTERY SOLVED.
Disappearance of Two Boys is Ex-
planned at Last.

New York. Feb. 14.-Plumbers working
in unoccupied house on Edgecombe
avenue today found in a closet the decom-
posed bodies of two boys. They were
identified by their parents Martin Loef-
ter, aged 8, and Charles Byrnes. aged II.
They had been missing since August 3,
last, when they left their homes nearby,
saying they were going to pick apples.
The building in which the bodies were
found is a fiat house. and has never been
occupied. When it was completed it was
locked up and all that remained to be
done on it was the plumbing.
This afternoon two plumbers entered
the house and were almost overcome with
the strong odor. They opened a closet
bodies of the boys The door has a spring
person entering and closing the door
would be unable to get out again until
it was opened from the outside.
The body of Loefter was without cloth
ing; that of Byrnes was clothed only in
trousers 1t is supposed the boys were
playing hide-and-seek and went into the
closet and closed the door. The closet
is so built that a person shut in it could
cry at the top of his voice and he would
be as remote from aid as though he were
buried a. mile under ground.
There was a bruise on ByrneS fore
head as though in his frenzy he had
dashed his head against the door.
The whole city was searched for the
boys last August, their pictures published
in the newspapers and the river dragged
and their parents had given up all hope
of ever hearing from them.

OF COURSE NOT.
General Shafter Makes Haste to Deny
His Rumored Resignation.

New York, Feb. 14.-General William
r. Shafter, who has been on a visit to
friends in Connecticut, will. attend
reception at the Army and Navy club
tonight after which he will return at
once to San Francisco.
General Shafter denied that he had
any immediate intention of retiring
from the army. He knew nothing of
the report that he would shortly ap-
peal to congress to be relieved. A re
cent statement that he had been guilty
of disobedience to orders, in ignoring
Colonel Maus in appointingan inspector
of the transport Manuense, General
Shafter declared was equally false.
There have been some complaints of
the transport Manuense," said General
Shafter, 'and some demand that the
condition of the transport be investi-
gated. 1t will be investigated and L
believe that the inspector already has
been appointed. / don't know who the
appointee is, however, as he is not ap
pointed directly by me. The appOintee,
whoever he is, is not Colonel NIaus.
I have no intention of retiring for
some time to come; and certainly no
intention of requesting congress to re-
tire me now. AS soon as l have finished
my present visit here, I shall return to
San Francisco and take up my work
again"
Asked for an expression of iopinion
about the war in South Africa, General
Shafter contented himself with saying:
The recent achievements of Ameri-
can land and naval forces are in strik-
ing contrast with the repulses sustain
ed by the flower Of the British army in
South Africa" !"

proud of 25 years from now-and lay
out winding driveways with flower
beds here and there. This will make a
pleasant drive of it while we are wait
ing for the trees to grow.
Another thing which the park commits
sion will take in hand will be the i'm
provement of vacant lots where it can
be done without expense to the COM
mission. There is q great deal of va
cant property which in the past has
been allowed to grow up to weeds, the
value of which would be greatly en-
hanced if the weeds were kept down
and flowers or blue grass grew in their
stead. The park commission will ask
the owners of such lots for the privi-
lege of caring for it, and then the sur
rounding property owners who live on
their property will be urged to care for
it on the ground that it will enhance
the~value of their own property This
would make the city much more at
tractiYe to strangers, besides making
it a much more desirable place to live.
OUR CENTRAL PARK"
In connection with the project to
make a park south of Thirteenth street
between Fillmore and Clay, there is 4
special we'll organized movement on the
part of people living in that communi-
ty, and of others in different parts of
the CITY A considera BILE sum has al
ready been raised by subscription to
help in the matter of this particular
park Options have been secured on
practically all of the lots except four in
this whole tract of II acres running
down as far as Sixteenth street Many
of the lots have been secured as low as
$50 per lot. Others were secured from
the Central National bank and the
Bank of Topeka, accompanied by lib
eral contributions on the part of these
institutions. The Lombard Investment
company has agreed to part with their
so lots for merely nominal figures. For
the four lots not contracted for con-
demnation proceedings are contempla-
ted.
For the purpose of getting this tract
into proper shape for the city an asso-
citation has been formed called the Cen
trail Park association. NJ A Low was
chosen president, Ralph Cav, secretary
and Frank Bonebrake, treasurer The
plans provide for three artificial lakes,
for boating purposes, pavilions, etc. A
spring on the eastern edge of the tract
will be utilized in connection with the
artificial lakes.

Federal Law Is Demanded by Board
of Trade Men.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-Resolutions calling
for federal law to suppress bucket
shops and pledging themselves to aid
each other in various reforms were
adopted at today's meeting of the board
of trade delegates, representing -
cities.
Reasonable commissions on transao-
tions in grain were fixed as follows:
One-eighth per cent per bushel to be
charged nom members of the ex-
changes; one-sixteenth per cent for
transa ctions carried on between MEM
bers of different exchanges with the
proper commission for transactions be-
tween members of the same exchange
left to the judgment of the exchange
affected
A standing committee composed of
the presidents of the New York Produce
exchange, Toledo Produce exchange, st.
Louis Merchants exchange, Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce and the Chicago
Board of Trade was appointed to take
up the matter of securing federal legis-
lation to stamp out bucket shops
The delegates agreed to do all in their
power to discourage privilege trading
and voted their moral support to St.
Louis and Chicago in maintaining their
recent acts suppressing privilege trad
ing.

A FIREBRAND.
Parker of Kentucky Disturbs
Antitrust Meeting
By Offering a Resolution Laden
With Politics.
DEBATE WAS CUT OFF
By the Usual Recourse to a
Temporary Adjournment.
Anti-Scalping Bill Denounced by
Special Resolution.

Chicago, Feb. 14.-At the opening ses-
sion today of the antitrust conference
called by the American Antitrust
League, Prof. John r. Commons, Of
New York, was the first speaker.
An address to the American people
on the trust question, formulated by
the resolutions committee was read by
Prof. Wills. He then proceeded to read
the platform.
Both papers were punctuated with
great applause.
After a protracted debate the address
to the public on the report of the res
olutions committee was declared
adopted. The vote was not unanimous,
however, many of the delegates main
tanning that under the rules the resolu-
tions were entitled to two hours de-
bate.
J. f. Sovereign of Arkansas intro-
duced a resolution which was adopted,
denouncing the anti-scalping bill as a
trust measure, discriminating and un-
just
Mr.. Parker of Kentucky presented a
resolution declaring that all members
of the conference hereby pledged them
selves not to support any political
party which fails to declare itself for
the principles of direct legislation and
government ownership of railroads and
telegraphs. This precipitated a wordy
the conference. Attempts were made to
put off the resolution by points of or
der and Parker was pressed to take
the platform for a ten minute speech
A motion to recess until o'clock pre-
vailed however, and cut off debate.
Just before the adoption of the reso-
lutions committee report, Delegate
Quinn of Illinois offered an amend
ment to the report of the resolutions
committee declaring that every per-
son is entitled to a home, but that I'M
der our present system of land tenure
such opportunities are restricted to a
few and demanding the removal of
such restrictions by the repeal of all
laws sustaining the right of private
property in land.
A single tax advocate on the floor
denounced this as not being a part Of
their theory, which it at first appeared
to be, and the resolution was ruled out
of order as not being germane to the
subject under discussion.

HE is A SOCIALIST.
Radical Member of Republican
Flambeau Club Wants to
DepOse George Har-
riSOn.

The anti-third term resolution is not
the only one which Secretary Oscar
Swayze proposes to introduce at the
meeting of the Republican fiambeau
club tonight He has another up his
sleeve to oust George B. Harrison. edi-
tor of the Farmers Advocate, from
membership in the club
Mr. Swayze's grievance against Mr.
Harrison is that he is the author and
circulator of a socialistic postal card.
The card in question calls on the So
ciaIists of Shawnee county to meet and
organize, as the time is ripe for action.
Mr.. Harrison has been an avoWed be-
lever in socialism for several years. but
when he repudiated Populism about
three months ago and made application
through Secretary Swayze for member
ship in the Republican flambeau club
Mr.. Swayze thought that the socialism
went along with the POpulisRl, and that
Mr.. Harrison was entirely regenerated,
from a Republican point of view. He
has now discovered otherwise, and as
he thinks that a believer in socialism is
a traitor to the Republican party, he
will introduce a resolution tonight to
blot Mr.. Harrison's name from the rolls
of the club.
I proposed Mr. Harrison's name for
membership" said Mr. Swayze, ''and [
believe it is incumbent upon me to undo
the wrong / have done. I have myself
seen one of those postal cards signed by
MI. Harrison, and on that ground 1 will
introduce the resolution to fire him from
the club"
At the time Mr.. Harrison repudiated
Fopulism a few months ago. he wrote
an open letter announcing his return to
the Republican fold, and the members
of the f1ambeau club received him with
open arms and rejoiced over him as "a
prOdigal returned.
