Himself. E
(BY Associated PreSSl

st. Paul, Mimi, May 2.-The body Of
the nineyear old Rosenfield boy was taxi

day. This is believed to confirm the po-
lice suspicion that VIM. RQsenfielu

one week ago.
The crime was most brutal, the father
first abducting the children, who We're in
the custoody of their mother at Mnnea-
polls, securing a rig and driving with
them to the river.
VIM. Rosenfield, the ather, had for some
time been separated from his Wife who
has been living in Minneapolis while
Rosentield lived in st. Paul. One week
ago Rosenfield hired a buggy and got
the children from the relatives who were
keeping them. He tried to prevail on his
wife to accompany him but she refused.
The next morning the horse was found
wandering aimlessly around. The body
found today was positively identified and

INDEMNITY COMMITTEE ACTS
Hand in Voluminous Report-Vou
Waldersee's Interference Not at
All Welcome.
(By Associated Press.

Pekin, May AT a meeting OF the
ministers yesterday, report of the in.
demnity committee was heard. The ,e.
port was very voluminous. 1t was prac-
tically a repetition of Jamesons We'll
known pamphlet on the subject. Sir
Robert Hart offered suggestions siml-
lar to those already credited to him and
cabled to the Associated Press 1t IS
claimed that the revenues from all
available sources will not allow China
to pay the indemnity unless assistance
is rendered.
The next meeting will be held next
Tuesday. The subject of Count Won
Waliersee's Letter will then be taken up
and reply drafted. The ministers per.
sonally object to the tone of the letter.
They claim that they know what they
want without being told. They pa.-
ticularly object to any of the legation
guards being under any authority except
that of the ministers themselves.

is practically bare OF the commodity at
this time. According to, the pest calcuiia-
lions the movement for the next two weeks
will not In any wise compare to that or
last year. and II would seem a If the ports
were crowded and the interior points in
ca pnble OF keeping up the figures to those
which have prevailed for the last month.
If this is the case 1t will mean that the
immense movement Of the last thirty days
really meant nothing except an enort on
the part OF those who held the commodity
to deliver the goods under financial or
other pressure. Perhaps we are TO see
then an entire change In the situation with
in the next two weeks, and one thing may
be repeated which has been spoken Of again
and again In this column, that the big
speculative houses In New York have been
and still remain upon the bull side OF the
market.
The weather predictions throughout the
South point TO a prevalence of cold weather
from this time on in points where such
climatic conditions are possible to exist at
this ~nneon. Killing frost may actually be
looked for within very little while &C
cording 10 every legitimate prognosis which
weather bureaus, public and private. can
give out. II this happens it will be found
that the futures are selling at such low
figure that an advance will be easy and
probable. II Is hard TO be bullish after the
many discourag ements that have been re-
ceived In this way, but nevertheless 10
those who understand the situation a diff
ferent view can not easily be taken at such
a time as this. There Is naturally an end
Of the effect OF manipulation, and a time
when normal conditions assert themselves,
and II is reasonable TO expect that such an
hour as this Is at hand, We can only trust
II Is, and when IL comes cotton will sell
higher. Stuart Acheson.
