DISROBED AND KNELT
BESIDE RAILROAD TRACKS.
w. M. Lea of St. Louis Found
Exhausted From Exposure
Near Belleville.
NEARLY KILLED BY TRAIN.

In a denuded condition., kneeling beside
the Louisville and Nashville tracks, near
Belleville. with a prayer book clasped IN
his hands. William Meade Lea Of 81. Louis
was found yesterday morning. Engineer Z.
w. Brown made the discovery as the engine
of which he had charge came within 4 few
feet of the man. He was unable 10 stop the
locomotive and does not know whether Lea
was struck by 1t.
When the train was stopped and the man
was picked up 1t was found that t5ere were
numerous cuts and bruises on his body, due,
II is thought. to contact with the train.
Wednesday Lea was seen In Belisvl1le
wandering afmiessly about the streets. AS
he was we'll dressed and seemed To have
money. no attention was paid him. That
was the last seen of him until he was 6!s-
covered alongside the railroad track.
When picked up from the ground Lea was
stiff from the cold and exposure. He was
unable to talk. Trairmen carried him into
the caboose and, wrapping him N a couple
CT heavy blankets, rolled him alongside the
stove.
His clothing was found scattered along
the railroad track. He had evidently dis
ROBBED a couple of hours before he was dis
covered. When the train reached East st.
Louis the authorities were notified. and the
man was taken to the police station. There
he was given medical attention. after which
he was removed to st. Mary's Hospital.
TIL sisters there worked over him for
several hours. AMI last evening said that
there were prospects for his recovery.
He Is said to be suffering from dementia.
He is as yet unable to talk. but it Is tx
pected that he will recover his power of
speech to-day.

Permit Early Action,

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The House leaders
determined early to-day to deal promptly
with the army appropriation bill and its
important Cuban and Philippine amend
meuts. by bringing In a special rule which
will permit the measure to go to confer
cnce without delay. 1t was hoped to begin
the Military Committee. but this plan met
with objection on the Democratic eide. and
the bill was sent to the committee. Chair
man Hull thereupon prepared to report
promptly from the committee recon-
mending inconvenience In all the Senate
amendments and a conference. A special
rule from the Committee on Rules was pre-
pared to carry out this programme, and
after that 1t will be for the conferees to adj

TO OPPOSE MEDICAL
BILL NOW PENDING,
Spiritualists to Go to Jefferson
City to Protest Against
Measure.

The last two mass meetings of local
Spiritualists, conducted under the auspices
of the National Spiritualists' Association.
were held yesterday afternoon and evening
at the Odeon. The principal feature of the
afternoon session was the address by Moses
Hull of Buffalo. N. Y. Mr.. Hull holds a
prominent position among Spiritualists as
an exponent of the Bible. In his discourse
he challenged airy minister Of the gospel
to cite any passage in the scriptures which
teaches the immortality of the human soul.
Mr.. Hull is the author of a number Of
works in explanation and defense Of Spirit
ualism. and his attacks on the Bible were
received with evident satisfaction by his
hearers.
Hull was followed by E. A. Tfsdale, the
blind orator, who spoke in the same tenor.
Mrs. 2. B. Hates. a medium from Mime
apolis. Mimi, gave a number of tests. A
telegram from C. ]. Walker. chairman Of
the State Senate Committee on Public
Health, was read by Harrison D. Barrett,
which was in response to one sent to JEFF
ferson City Wednesday night protesting
against the passage of the pending medical
bill. providing for a medical examination
for those who administer to the sick. The
telegram stated that the bill had left the
committee and Is now in the Senate.
When this telegram was read a vote was
taken, which resulted In the appointment Of
a committee, consisting Of Harrison d. Ear
rett, Thomas Grimsh1w and Mr.. and airs.
G.. w. Hates, to wait on the Senate at JEFF
ferson City and urge the defeat OF the
measure on the ground that 1t violates the
State Constitution, which guarantees free
dom of religious worship. There are among
S~piritualists a great number of "healing
mediums who treat disease. They will
have TO undergo al examination il medicine
If the medical bill becomes u Law. hence
the opposition to the measure IN the part
of S~piritualists.
At the evening meeting 1t was .%anncunced
that the money necessary to de;rny the
expenses had been collected,
and that the committee would leave to-day
for the capital.
The evening programme consisted o: a
number of addresses by the visiting dele
gates. instrumental and vocal selections,
and tests by Mrs. Rates and .diss Gaule.

County Officials Unwilling to Ar
rest Paul Brown, Who Killed
Charles Schichter.
THEY ARE IN A BAD DILEMMA.
Coroner's Verdict of Homicide
Does Not Exonerate the Slayer,
Who Positively Declines to
Surrender.

Officials of st. Louis County are looking
for some one to swear out a warrant against
Paul Brown, who shot and killed Charles
Schichter at Creve Occur Lake Tuesday
afternoon.
They know from legal evidence now in
their possession that u homicide was COM
mitted at Creve Occur Lake Tuesday after
noon by Brown.
The Coroner's jury, in arriving Mt a YER
dict. had the statement of but one eyewit-
ness and that was Brown himself. Conse-
quently the jurymen returned a simple YER
dict of homicide. admitting that there
might be extenuating circumstances. but at
the same time not feeling warranted in al-
together generating Brown.
The Sheriff and his deputies were APP
prised of the shooting Wednesday, but they
were not officially informed until yesterday.
the Sheriff maintains that the law does
not confer any authority on him to arrest
without q warrant unless he Is a witness
to Che infraction of the law. and that, as he
is n bonded officer. undue action on his part
could lead to litigation that might be finan-
cially disastrous to himself.
Coroner Armstrong, who held the inquest,
reported the matter to Prosecuting Attor-
ney Heidorn yesterday. The Coroner relat-
ed the facts in his possession, and the Pros
ecuting Attorney suggested that he swear
to the warrant against Brown. But, ac-
cording to a witness to the interview be-
tween the two officials. Doctor Armstrong
was unwilling to do SO without at least fur
Their considering the matter.
Mr.. Heidorn believes that 1t Is the prov
ince of a Prosecuting Attorney to prosecute.
and accordingly is very anxious to sec

would have a chance to exonerate himself

two years. He was considered a faithful
worker. and an excellent reputation was
given him by the officers of the company.
He was n man Of enormous strength and
could lift packages with ease which or
dinarily would have required the efforts of
two men.
He was known as a sober, steady man,
and at no time did he display apy symp-
toms OF insanity. Lately he was In charge
of the company's shipping on the Levee.
He had not been sent across the river for
any duty. and members of the c,rnpury
were greatly surprised when Informed that
he had been found there. No one AZ the tar
paulin company could tell where Lea lived.
