HAD BULLET
HOLE IN HEAD
FOR MURDER.
IDENTIFIED BY BELL BOY
AS One Who Came to Hotel With
Walter S. Brooks, the Man
Killed.

New York, Feb. 15.-Walter S
Brooks, a young commission merchant
of this city, was found dying in a
room in the Glen Island hotel, West
and Cortland streets, last midnight
and after his death several hours later
in the hospital the police were notified
and took in charge Florence Burns,
a handsome Brooklyn girl with whom
Brooks had for some time been keep
ing company. She will probably be
arraigned in court tomorrow morn
ing.
A negro bell boy identified the girl
as one who came to the hotel with
Brooks. but Miss Burns denies she was
the person and declares that she met
Brooks at his place of business early
Friday evening, leaving him at $50
O'Clock to go to her home in Brooklyn.
Certain it is, however. that Brooks and
some woman went to Glen Island early
Friday. registering as 81. Wilson and
wife"
1t was midnight when the bell boy
-smelled gas in n of the Railways.
Brooks room was broken into and he
was found, lying acros the bed I'M
conscious and gas was pouring from
the burners. DR.. Sweeney was sum-
moned and noticed what he thought
was a simple cut on the back of the
head. Later he discovered it was a
bullet wound and Brooks removal to
the hospital followed.
The girl was arrested at her Brook
1yn home. At the police station she
did not finch at the examination
through which she was put, maintain
ing she did not spend the night with
Brooks.
The bell boy, however, picked her
out from three women lined up before
him as the woman who lad been at
the hotel. DR.. Sweeney and the pO-
lice put aside the theory of self-mur-
der because there was no powder
marks around the spot where the bull
let entered the head of Brooks.
Counsel has been engaged by the
girls father, who is Fred Burns, well
known in sporting circles as announc-
er at big sporting events. Brooks
father is a compositor and friends
of the family say the young man was
infatuated with the the girl and that
the family was using every endeayOr
to have the intimacy cease. Brooks
was 20 years old and known as an
amateur athlete.

War Revenue Taxes.

The Post will say also that Speaker
Henderson and Representative Gros-
venor stated the reason for pushing
that measure through the house, with
out permitting amendment, the reason
being that they feared a %reopening Of
the whole tariff question should any
other curse be adopted.
The Post further will say:
THE conference, it is understood,
resulted in the president ~consenting
to the plans of the house leaders and
informing them that he desired to
have the war revenue reduction bill
disposed of as quickly as possible. He
shared the belief of the speaker and
Mr.. Grosevenor that delay was menac-
ing to the chance of the bill passing.
Cuban Tariff.
at was decided that a conference
of republican members of the commit
tee en- ways and mean should be
held Immediately after the war We
nue. bill passed the house, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining how the members
stand on the presidents proposition
for a reduction in tariff on Cuban
sugar. It was agreed that this
should be the next important question
taken up in the house"
The Schley Case.
The Post will also say: The Schley
case was also under discussion at the
conference, the president being anXi-
Gus hat his disposition of the cas-
should not pc followed by action in
congress. Speaker Henderson was
able to assure the president any leg
i%slation could be blocked in the house,
but it was pointed out to him by sen
ators that the situation in the senate
was different, the more liberal rules
of hat body allowing any resolution
to be considered if it commanded a
majority vote.
Captains Won the Battle.
"The presidents views regarding
the Schley case became generally
known last night, as a result of the
conference. 1t is said that he will
not undertake to discuss, in his re-
view, n of the events which occur
red prior to the battle of Santiago,
on the ground that if Schley's con
duct was r~eprenensible, it was con
doned by the navy department and by
President Mckinley when Schley's pro.
motion was recommended. AS for
the battle Of Santiago, the president
is inclined to the opinion, according
to his visitors, that victory was won
by all the captains, and that credit
cannot, therefore be given exclusively
to Schley, although the latter acted
courageously and, with the Oregon,
succeeded in preventing the escape of

MISSISSIPPI VESSELS.
Queer Craft That Ps~ the Uppe
Reaches of the River.


queer Crar That Psy the Upper
Reaches OF the River.
"'St. Paul is at the bead OF nayiga.
ton on the Mississippi
THAT sentence from the old geogra-
ply stands out wildly in my memory"
says John Swain in Ainslee's. "In boy
hood | pictured throngs of smoking
steamers blowing up TO the wharfs of
this Minnesota city. or course in the
winter they would be frozen out, but in
summer and through the autumn, when
the grain crop was moving, l imagined
barges OF wheat and corn, steamers
loaded with Hour and all the incidentals
of the commerce of the northwest.
But there are limitations to that
navigation on the upper Mississippi
which the geography failed TO mention.
This young man Mississippi spreads
out valiantly TO I'LL big channel. he
receives the floods OF the ST. Croix and
lower down OF the Wisconsin, but still
he is. after all, only young fellow, and
when he aspires to spread he becomes,
as other young men, very shallow. So
II is that at many times i'm the year the
visitor to St Paul and to the river be-
low it. especially at that time of the
year when the crops are moving, will
wait in vain for steamer for st. Louis
and will end lodges of rock and big
sand bars obstructing the channel so
that raft would have difficulty in
moving down stream. For months of
the year no steamers come to st. Paul,
and only when there is a fairly good
stage can the steamers of the Diamond
10 line work their slow way up from
Davenport as a connection with the
world below.
''Such steamers as they are too. There
have been jokes without number about
these shallow river steamers that can
run on heavy dews and that are said
to be built of iron, unpainted, because
on damp days the iron will sweat
enough to allow them to run. 1t has
been said that at times the pilot sends
a man ahead with a sprinkling can to
wet down sand bars and that tub OF
water and hose are kept on deck for
use in emergencies. OF course these
are wild exaggeratons, but, as q mat.
ter of fact, the steamer that cannot run
on eighteen inches or, at best, on two
feet of water must stay on the lower
river. Even there she will have her
troubles. Far below Cairo have seen
a steamer loaded with coo bales of cot.
ton and 800 sacks of seed run into q
landing over bar on which there was
but four feet of water. There are long
stretches of deep water near st. Paul
to be sure. where boats could draw
many feet. but the river steamer has
to be able to go over reefs and bars,
and Of these there are many. For the
rest, they are the same old fiimsy,
noisy, cheap. sternwheelers that were
run in Mark Twain's time before the
civil war;
