F. E. Kielbacb Of Savannah Believed to Have
Committed Suicide.
INV the Associated Press ,

New York, Nov. 29.--When the Savan-
nah Line steamship Chattahoochee
reached her pier today, Captain II. C.
Lewis reported that one OF his passen-
gers was missing, and from an examina-
ton he had made of the ship he believed
that the man had jumped overheard. F.
E. Kielbach, of Savannah, Ca, was the
missing passenger. The vessel left that
port on November 90 Kielbach occupied
a state-room with window opening on
deck. He had large valise well-stocked
with clothes and $500 which he gave to
the purser for safe-keeping.
On Thursday morning one of the wait
ers went to call him to breakfast. This
was at S:35 a. m. AS he could get no re-
Spouse he went away and returned at
$50. This time as there was no answer
to his repeated knocking he went around
on deck and looked in at the window The
window was open and the room was
empty The key was in the lock of the
door. Captain Lewis was at once noti-
fed and the door of the room was opened.
In the room were found the mans effects
and letter addressed to his parents.
The ship was searched but no trace OF
the missing passenger was found. 1t is
believed that he jumped overheard some
time Wednesday night or early Thurs
day morning.

TO AME Nd THE RULES
To Give Majority in House
More Power.
Mr.. Swanson Has Scheme Which He Thinks
viii, if Adopted, Facilitate
Legislation.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov 29.-Representative
Swanson, of Virginia, has prepared the
following amendments to the rules of
the House, which he proposes TO offer if
an opportunity presents itself:
Whenever a bill, resolution or other
matter has been referred to a committee
and the committee has failed to report
on the same and a majority of the
members of the House shall sign a Pc
tition to said committee requesting It
to report thereon, the committee to
which said bill, resolution or matter has
been referred shall report to the House
on such bill, resolution or matter within
two weeks from presentation of said pc
tition, and if the committee fails to re-
port within said time, then it shall be
in order in the House to move at the end
of such time to discharge the committee
from it's further consideration and pro-
ceed at once to a consideration of the
same in the House. The petition herein
provided for shall be presented to the
Speaker, who shall refer it to the proper
committee and have the same printed in
the record of that days proceedings"
Mr. Swanson says that he has received
a number of assurances of support in any
move to change the rules as outlined
The purpose of the amendment, he says,
is to put it into the power of a majority
of the House to control proceedings in
regular and deliberate way and to
take from the Committee on Rules some
of the absolute power it now possesses
of determining what legislation shall
come before the House. Explaining the
effect of the proposed rule, Mr.. Swanson
says:
Under this rule, the business of the
House would proceed as heretofore ex-
cept when a majority desired legislation,
which it was prevented from having by
the Speaker and the committee of the
House. Under this rule, a majority of
the members would be enabled in a regu
lar way, after a reasonable time to con-
troll the legislation of the House. The
petition being printed in the Record, and
thus a public record of the action of
members would cause it not to be loose
ly nor thoughtlessly signed. Every COM
mittee of the House, from the Commit
tee on Rules down, and the Speaker
himself would, under this rule, be under
the control of a majority of the House"

A Second Report.
Especial to News and Observer

Suffolk, Va, Nov 29.-According to
kilograms received here and in Elizabeth
City, N. c., Miss Ella Cropsey, may still
be alive.
What the Elizabeth City police regard
as a definite clue is that a young woman
whose description is like Miss Cropsey,
was seen going from McKey's Ferry, N.
c., in the direction of Plymouth. Chief
of Police Dawson is doing what he can
TO investigate the report. A partial cor
federation came in the last telegram to-
night, which says man and woman who
were acting suspiciously were seen in
the vicinity of Goose Nest, N. c.
The latest wire from Chief Dawson
says he is looking into the reports, but
he has not abandoned the theory that
Ella lies at the bottom of Pasquotanl1
river. The Cropsey family and rela-
tives and detective, who have arrived
from New York think that Ella is living
and has been abducted

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 29-Frank E. Kiel-
bach, who is supposed to have jumped
overheard from the steamship Chatta-
hcochee en- route to New York was prom
inent here politically and socially. He
was the son of well-to-do parents and
had himself accumulated considerable
property He was 81 years old. For seven
teen years he had been connected with
the office Of Ordinary in this city, and
was Ordinary pro tenn for several months.
On account of a recent change in the Of
flee he lost his position of chief clerk,
which seemed to prey on his mind; not
that he needed the salary, as he was
independent of the pay, but because he
imagined his long services were unappre-
ciated
He was an accomplished musician.

v HIS MONEY.
A Citizen Unwittingiy Outwits
Burglar Who Was in
His House.

J. Fl. LcCoy's residence was burglar
lied last night, but owing to a fortunate
circumstance the burglar failed to
secure what he was evidently after,
namely, Mr.. McCoy's pocketbook. Mr..
Mccoy was awakened during the night
by some noise which he thought was
made by persons moving about in
another part of the house, but did not
get up, as his little son proved to be
restless, and he concluded that he was
mistaken about the cause of his awaken
ing. When he first woke up, however,
he reached for his trousers, which he
had hung on the headboard of the bed,
and took his pocket book from them
and threw it over back of the bed. He
soon fell asleep and thought no more OF
the matter until he was ready TO dress
this morning, when he found that his
trousers were gone. They were found
i'm the yard with the pockets turned
inside out.
Il was evident that the burglar was III
the house when Mr.. Mccoy was awake,
and the fellow had nerve enough TO lay
low until all was quiet again and then
enter the bedroom and steal the trou-
sers. AS Mr.. Mccoy had quite a wad OF
money in the pocketbook he made a
good saving. The back door of the
house was found open this morning, and
the burglar probably gained entrance
thereby.
There have been numerous reports OF
burglaries in other large towns i'll the
state during the past few weeks, but
this is the first case reported in Aber-
deen.-Aberdeen News.

WATER
Abundant Supply and d
Splendid Quality
in the new
Well!
FLATHER TALKS
Inc superintendent ofthe Water
works Construction was in
webster and the Reporter
and Farmer saw him.

The authorities of Webster are NOV
ing slowly in the matter of putting in
the new system of waterworks but every
step Is being taken by and with the
advice OF Prof. J. ]. Father, Of the
University Of Minnesota, who is the
designing engineer employed by the
council for the new plant. Mr.. Flather
has been here several times since the
project was started but until the trip
made here this week has been O little
inclined not TO talk for publication, pre-
ferrlng to wait until he had something
upon which he could base an interview.
The reporter got next to him Monday,
however, and the professor said: I'VE
are getting along nicely with the pre-
llmlnaries for the new system, and
everything seems to be working to the
advantage Of the city and to the salts
faction of the authorities. Of course
the error in the bond business caused
some delay but that was a thing that is
liable to happen to any municipality
voting bonds. The dealers in that kind
of securities being very particular as to
the slightest of technicalities.
II have been up and examined the
new well and am very much pleased
with the qualify of the water. While the
quantity of flow is not as large as some
have anticipated, yet there is an abun-
dance for a city the size of Webster and
even larger. AS the we'll is used more
and more the supply ought to and will
increase-the small particles of sand
and clay that are now mixed with the
gravel at the bottom of the well will be
drawn through the screen and pumped
but thus producing a larger area of flow
at the bottom of the we'll, so that the
more the well is used the better it will
become.
with a large tank on a high steel
tower the city will be amply protected
against fire, and a few hours a day will
serve to get all the water necessary" for
domestic and lawn purposes. We pro-
pose a tank of two or three thousand
barrels and a tower ninety to one hun
dred feet high.
In order to keep the well from clog
ging with fine sand until the pumping
plant can be put in we deem it advisable
to keep the we'll open and for this reason
will put up a wind mill for temporary
pumping.
Yes, you will have just as good a
system of waterworks in Webster as can
be found in the state when the plant is
finished and the water will be of a
splendid quality"
