Special to The Journal.
St. Peter, Mimi, Oct 22.-The prelimi-
nary hearing in the case of the state
against Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Tanke for the
murder of John Wellner was begun here
this morning before Justice H. G. Miller.
When court opened the public was sur
prised by a change in affairs. Mrs. Tanke
had been arrested upon a charge of muir
der and her husband was arrested as an
accomplice. Mr. Davis made motion to
dismiss both actions and the motion was
granted.
Mr. and Mrs. Tanke were rearrested i'm
mediately upon warrant charging them
jointly with murder in the first degree.
Joseph Wild, mayor Of Lafayette, was the
first witness for the state. He testified
to having found the body and to having
notified Mrs. Wellner that her husband
was lying dead near the barn; that Mrs.
Wellner refused to go out and view the
body and that she even refused to look at
il from the house. He made an investi-
cation and found the imprint of new
pair OF No. 8 overshoes about the barn and
no other foot prints He asked Mrs. Well
ner If her husband had purchased new
oYershoes and she said he had not.
Later in the morning her two children
said that their father had recently pur-
chased a new pair Of overshoes and
they brought them out from under a
lounge and showed them to Wild They
were exactly the size of the prints in the
snow
The state claims to have a clear case
against Mr.. and Mrs. Tanke. From indi-
cations the preliminary hearing will re-
Quir6 nearly a week.

GSsw YORK Sou, s0eosag !servHoa.

London, Oct. 22.-The Sofia correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph says an i'm
probable rumor comes from Bulgarian
source that Miss Ellen Stone, the Ameri-
can missionary, is hiddS in the villayet Of
Salonki. Mr.. Dickinson, the American
consul general at Constantinople, who has
been at Sofia endeavoring to secure Miss
Stones release, adheres to his conviction
of the completely of the Macedonian COM
mittee in the abduction of Miss Stone. In
missionary circles it is urged that when
the ransom for Miss Stones release is
paid, the brigands ought to be amnestied
and all records of the agreement with
them cancelled.
A dispatch from Vienna says the latest
news from Sofia is that Miss Stone and
her companion are no longer with the
brigands. They are vaguely described as
being kept elsewhere.

DOOMED MINISTRY
French Cabinet Is Not Expected to
Last Long.

NesD YoTlk sam Special Service
Paris, Oct. 22.-The assembling of the
French parliament to-day opens what in
many quarters is believed will be the last
session weathered by the present minis
try, though no one doubts that the famous
Waldeck- Rousseau combination will make
the same hard fight for its life that it
has so often done in the past. Several
antiministerial leaders say that the
lialistic 'orange peel on which the
cabinet has so often expected to slip at
last lies directly in It's way, with no pos
sibility of avoiding it.
1t is not expected that much work will
be done during the present session, which
ends March Is, SO that the deputies may
have a chance to go before their con-
stituents preparatory to next May cleo
tions Most Of the time of the sessions
will be given to consideration of the bud
get, the deficit for the present year being
one of the largest in history. For this
reason the wisest political prophets be-
lieve that if the cabinet should weather
the next fortnight it is sure to last till
the elections. Thereafter, all are agreed
its days are numbered.

MITCHELL CAN'T Be FOUND
HIS SHORTAGE IS UNDER $1,000
An Insurance Agent at saltwater
Hunted by PinkertOns for
Forging Receipts.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Saltwater, Mimi, Oct. %. - The case
against William Mitchell, agent Of the
Equitable Life Insurance company, Of New
York, is not so black as first painted,
though black enough. He is wanted by
Pinkerton men for alleged fraudulent
transactions with policy holders. He was
alleged to have receipted to DR.. ]. f.
Johnson for 81, 700 in premiums, each Of
the receipts being forged.
Lou Wilkes, manager of the company, is
here checking up with DR.. Johnson and it
has been discovered that part of the money
for which forged receipts had been given
had been turned over to the company, and
that the peculations of Mitchell amount
to less than $1,000, instead of $1,700 as
first reported. This statement Is au-
thorized by both Mr.. Wilkes and DR..
Johnson.
Mr.. Mitchell was in the city as late as
Friday night, when he was here with
some Minneapolis friends whose names
cannot be ascertained. His family re-
sides at Tacoma, Wash. He is a man of
scholarly attainments and at one time, 1t
is said, was a college professor and also
a minister. He had been in saltwater
about two years.

Sash and door interests of the country
have been united in one gigantic COM

Poole, emissary of the New York banking
firm which has promoted the consolida-

local establishments won over.
The deal hits Minneapolis in the way of
the reduction of forces. The fact that
the big companies who have warehouses
have gone into the new company will
result in the establishment Of one central
warehouse instead Of four. Changes will
be made in the factories also.
The Minneapolis companies that have
made the -}ast money in the last few
years were most willing to enter the
combine and the recalcitrant ones were
operated by men who have bulls up a
good trade and could see no reason for
selling out except at a fancy figure. 1t
is said that the management of the fac
tories will remain about the same, the
old men being retained at advanced sal
aries.
The terms of sale it is stated are as fol-

HUNTING BANDITS
Kidnappers Fear Treachery and will
Not Disclose Hiding Place.

Samakov, Oct. 22.-I have just returned
to Samakov after a fortnight's vain en-
deavor to get into communication with the
brigands. At Diumeyer the kaiman, or
local governor, refused to give a written
statement, but told me of the track taken
by the brigands into Bulgarian territory.
The brigands are still wandering round
that region near Gultepe and the two
governments, with gendarmerie, soldiers
and secret agents, are trying to find them.
The four brigands who have been ar
rested stoutly maintain that they are not
connected with the band that captured
Miss Stone. They have been summoned
to appear at Dubnitza and be arraigned
before a special Turkish commissioner
This may be a Turkish effort to make
portestants appear as accomplices in the
Stone kidnapping.
Owing to the severe frosts prevailing
in the mountains all efforts to send par
cells Of clothing and other necessaries to
Miss Stone, who must be suffering from
the cold, have been baffled All attempts
to communicate with the brigands have
been unsuccessful. The bandits are ap-
parently afraid Of treachery and de-
termined not to disclose their hiding

csmmissioners Protest to President
Against the H0lIander Bill.


Washington, March 1.-THE presi-
dent granted special audience to
Messrs. Wenceslay Borda, Jr., and VI
cente Balbas, members Of the Porto
Rican commission, which was appoint
ed at mass meeting of the citizens Oh
the island held at San Juan on Feb. z
to protest against the law enacted by
the legislature known as the Holland
er bill. This measure provides Tor the
raising of revenue by property ana ex-
else taxes.
The commissioners presented form
al protest, which enumerated series
of 1S objections to the law. 1t Is con-
tended that there exists today i'll Porto
Rico three taxes levied and collected
for the same purpose from the lmpoV-
erished pockets of the people, the new
excise taxes under the Liollander law,
the old insular and municipal taxes
and the customs duties under the Por-
to Rican civil government act Any OF
these, it is said, is sufficient to cover
the budget. Under the bill SooO,0oO OF
more will be collected semiannualiy
in advance, thereby, the protest says,
lessening the money in circulation (o1
which there is less than S20OO,o00) and
producing a state of impoverishmen'
and business stagnation, as the taxes
are collected by summary process.
| The commissioners asked the presi
dent that Governor Allen be directed
| to call special session of the leglsla
ture to amend the law in Il manner
which will relieve the people of the
burdens complained of and that the
governor be directed to exercise care II
the appointment of the assessors.
The commissioners also presented
petition of bankers, merchants ant
other business men of New York ant
Philadelphia, praying that the protes
be given due consideration.
