Method same in All Cases.

The same method vas used in each
woman's death. Each went driving with
man, each was strangled, each was
thrown into ditch or some secluded
place
Mrs. Railey and Lena Renner both went
with SherweiI, it appears, and the theory
is advanced that he killed one and was
then forced to kill the other to cover up
the first deed
The accused man remains Indifferent
and every effort to draw him out fails.
He is regarded as degenerate. He has
lived IN Evansville six or seven years and
until recently enjoyed good reputation
He came from FindIay, Ohio, where his
family is known as Charville.

Suspicious circumstances.

sherwell, at the time of his arrest, pa
trolled a beat regularly On the night
when Mrs. Railey and Lena Renner were
strangIed he was seen with both women
in his surrey, driving from the central
part Of the city. Though the evidence IS
all circumstantial, the officers hold that
ii justifies them in fixing both murders
upon him.
Fanny Butler. muIatto, was strangIed
last May in an alley on Sherwell's beat,
in the old canal neighborhOCd, and her
body was thrown into stable No clue
developed. Now 1t transpires through
the testimony of a coIored woman that
SheEweI had been in the murdered wOm-
ans company an hour previous to her
murder. and then had threatened to kill
her.
SherwelI, it is said, was friendly with
Mrs. Mary Storck, who was strangIed and
thrown into ditch two years ago. He
drove a dairy wagon then. He met her
frequently, kept company with her, took
her to dances and went driving with her

UNDERGROUND WIRE BILL
LtvELIEsT DISCUSSION YET IN
THE HOUSE.
Hoogs Roasts McCandless and Emme-
luth Roasts Hoog's Bill-TaXation
Committee is Also CRITICIZED.

The warmest discussion Of the ses-
sion took place in the house at noon
yesterday over the Hogs bill to pro-
/ vide for underground wires for cleo
/ trio companies. Emmeluth opposed IL
/ and he spoke at length of efforts to
| railroad" it through, calling 1t a
/ steal" but without effect, for the act
was passed with a large majority.
Hogs used the magic name of Nc
/ Candless and that settled IL, for when
some of the wavering native members
heard that McCandless had been fight
ing the bill, they were in a fever of
excitement awaiting chance to vote
for it.
The underground wire bill has been
in committee for several weeks, during
which there have been various state
ments that McCandless has been try
ing to knock it and when Emmeluth
made his argument against it Hoogs
responded with roast of the superin-
tendent of public works. He declared
that McCandless had been knocking the
bill ever since 1t was introduced and
ended by remarkng that the fact that
McCandless opposed the measure was
prima faCia evidence that it was a good
bill. Kaniho could hardly keep his
seat while he clapped his hands in joy
and other members of -McCandless
persuasion wanted to get up with him
and applaud, but they kept their seats
and when the time came voted for the
bill.
Emmeluth wanted a public conduit
system, which all companies might use
and he thought that the bill was wrong
in that it did not provide that the cleo
trio companies should pay something
for use of the streets for underground
wires. Robertson also objected to the
bill, on account of the tearing up Of
streets it would allow, but when it came
to a vote he and Emmeluth were prac-
tically alone, and the bill passed Sec
ond reading.
Another quite lively discussion was
occasioned by objections from members
to the long time that the income tax
bill remained in committee. The tax
alton committee was roasted by various
members until Emmeluth rose and said
it had worked on the previous night
while the kicking members had been
cavorting about town and that the
kickers were the men who had done the
least work in the house. A special
committee was finally named to take
hold of the bill, which was summarily
withdrawn from the taxation commit
tee because that committee would not
report till it had certain figures it is
trying to collect. The members of the
judiciary and taxation committees de-
clined to act and the speaker named
Makekau, Dickey and Makainai to re-
port to the house on the advisability of
passing an income tax law.
The Hogs underground wire bill
passed third reading this morning.
There were only two noes-Robertson
and Keiki The fight of yesterday was
not renewed. When the name of EN-
meluth was called there was no an
swer, for the chair of Emmeluth was
empty.

WOMEN CAN NOT SING.
May Be Refused Positions in Catholic
Choirs.


WASHINGTON, March 31.-Some-
thing of a furore is likely to follow the
announcement from Rome that women
in the future will not be allowed to sing
in the choirS of Roman Catholic
churches of the United States. 1t is re-
ported that the congregation of rites
now meeting in Rome is about to deli
yer a decree to this purpose. Nothing
definite has been received by the apos-
tolic legation at Washington, however.
Another change said to be contem-
plated is just as important. This refers
to operate music, so long in vogue, and
which has proved a drawing card for
on-Catholics, which is to be abolished,
and the simple Gregorian chant more
generally substituted, together with the
old-fashioned choral music of the
earlier church.
The Bishop of Cincinatti is the first
bishop in this country to take this
step of his own Volition-a course which
for the last dozen or so years has been
approved by the holy see.
Followed by a large German backing,
the bishop has already instituted the
reform, and entirely reorganized the
choirs of all the churches in his do
cese. The women have been dismissed
and operate music is no longer used.
Already even though the decree is not
officially announced, there is consider
able agitation among the women of the
choirs of the leading Roman Catholic
churches in the big American cities.
