Elkton, Nd. April Miss Anna
Hart, Of Walbrook. Nd, on a visit to
her father at Big Surings, Washington

table when she arose and went to a
window. Her sister picked up the paper
and wrapped it around $50 in bills
which Miss Hart had left on the table.
She then handed the roll to her sister,
who pitched it into the fire. Explana-
tions followed, but when she got TO the
stove she saw nothing but a little heap
of ashes.

Washington. d. c.. Aug 27.-It can be
stated upon the highest authority that
Russia, Germany and. Japan have not de-
clared war upon China, either separately
or In concert, but what those nations may
do within the next IS hours, or within the
next fortnight is question which no
one I'm Washington is prepared to answer.
The receipt OF a brief dispatch from
Chez Foo Saturday night, conveying n ru-
NOR current there. that Russia, Germany
and japan had Joined I'm a declaration OF
war upon China. aroused some comment
among Washington. officials and diplo-
matte representatives of foreign govern
ments here. but In neither official nor
diplomatic circles was the rumor taken
seriously.
No information OF such action has
reached either the department Of state or
the legations of the governments primari-
~ interested. That fact alone is accepted
In official circles as a sufficient refutation
OF the rumor.
NO REPORTS RECEIVED.
State, war and navy department ofi-
Gals were at their desks early today.
but not a word had been heard from

once. under the protection of a cavalry
detachment.
A suspicion exists that the delay in
messages both from and to Washington
is rather between Chez Foo and Shang-
hal than between Tien Tsin and Pekin.
From Chez Foo TO Shanghai the tele-
graph line Is In control OF the Chinese
authorities. and II Is suspected they are
not so prompt in the transmission OF
messages as they might be.
PREPARING FOR AN ATTACK.
Yesterday afternoon a dispatch was re-
ceived at the Japanese legation from the
foreign office of Japan. conveying the
latest and most authentic information Of
the situation In and around Pekin.
In a measure, the advices were OF a
disquieting nature. as they indicated that
the Chinese had rallied their forces. and
were preparing for an attack upon the
allies In Pekin This would account for
the lack OF advices from Gen. Chaffee. AS
made public the dispatch from the Jap
snese foreign office at Toxic is as fol
lows.

Police Unable 10 Get Any New
Clues to the Murderer.
ALL THEORIES HAVE FAILED.
Their Promise 10 Secure Strong Evidence
Against The Dead GId's Brother Has 50
Far Not Been Fulfilled

New York. Aug. N.-A week ago today
the newspapers told OF the murder OF
Kate Scharn I'm her fiat at ga Second
avenue. She had been found early on
Sunday morning. by her brother Fred.
beaten and straneled to death. when he
returned from visit to his sweetheart.
She had been robbed of her rings, her
watch and few dollars. but the motive
OF the crime did not seem TO lie behind
this theft. The police began their inves-
tigations on the theory that jealousy was
at the bottom of e.
They arrested Lincoln Eisenprice, a
bank clerk, who had known the girl in
timately for years and with whom she
had an appointment for 1880 o'clock Sat-
urday evening.
At the same time the brother was taken
into custody more as a precautionary
measure than for any other reason.
Within twenty-four hours Eisenprice
had established such en alibi that his re-
lease was a foregone conclusion. Not so
with young Scharn. He started his alibi
with a lie. and when the Coroner held
Eisenprice only as witness under nom
inal bail he held Scharn without bail as
the suspected murderer OF his sister.
For six days the police have strained
every effort TO fasten the crime on this
young man. but they have not succeed
ed. They promised last Friday TO formal
ly and legally charge him with murder
by Tuesday next, but the promise was
made In the hope that meanwhile they
would turn up new evidence.
They have not done so Yet. They have
worked faithfully. but nothing has yet
been found to disprove the boys conten-
ton that he was I'm The Bronx from 4:30
o'clock until midnight last Saturday a
week ago and the evidence that the girl
was alive at o'clock on that night.
While the main strength Of the police
effort has been directed against Scharn
every other clue that suggested Itself has
been followed, but uselessly, and tho
crime is as much Of mystery as ever.
Every girl acquaintance of the victim
has been questioned as to her Ne, he'
habits, her friends, both men and woni-
en- No one has been found who through
jealousy might be likely TO do the deed.
AS new facts were elected theories have
changed One day the motive has been
robbery. one day jealousy; one day II was
a lover, the next jealous rival, and In
the end there has been no result.
Eight days OF solid work by the pre-
cinct and Central office detectives find
them confronted by a situation from
which they have succeeded In excluding
every person who might have committed
the crime.

WATER GAVE OUT They ARE IN JAIL
Three Men Nearly Died From
Thirst While Crossing Desert
Near EI PasO.

El Paso. Tex, Aug. 27.-A runner has
arrived here from the Cole Ranch. 60
miles north of Ell Paso, bringing news
that three men had been found almost
dead from thirst on the desert beyond
there.
He says that one of the men is Prof H.
c. Cook. who recently came To this city
from the east. The men left Alamo Cor
do, New Mexico, on bicycles Thursday,
bound for El Paso They took the over
land road through the Tularosa Valley.
On that route there Is "A desert of sand
seventy-five miles wide.
When the three men had gone about
30 miles their bicycles broke down and
they had TO walk. One of the men
reached the Cole Ranch but had to be
treated for several hours before he could
speak.
He then told of his companions Two
men with jugs of water tied on their sad
dies went back To search for the missing
men One was found Is miles away ex-
hausted and unconscious in the sand and
was brought 10 the ranch. The other
Prof. Cook. was found twenty miles fur
ther away I'm spasms, and would probably
have died I'm an hour had he not received
water.
All the men are now In critical condv
ton at the Cole ranch. The names OF the
other two men were not learned.
