CHICAGO. Sept. 7-Chief of Police
O'Neil says there is no doubt as to the
identification of the body found in a field
in Iowa as that OF William Bartholin.
Coye, the dentist that filled Bartholn's
teeth. was taken to Iowa last night with
Detective Rohan and has fully identified
his work on the teeth. Several letters
from Minnie Mitchell were found in the
coat pocket of the suicide. Corns on Bar
tholin's left little toe also were identified.
"The charges preferred by the police
against Glaffy. Thompson and Counselman
will be heard by the next grand jury, which
convenes one week from Tuesday" said an
attache of the states attorneys office to-
night. THE confession of Bartholin is not
a ukase guaranteed to free everybody
The fact that Bartholin killed three people,
including himself. will add no great weight
to this piece OF written testimony he left
behind. There may be other strong evil
dence involving these three men. This evil
dence must be heard, wherefore the ac-
cused must remain in Jail. in default OF
bail. unless released on habess corpus and
1 hardly believe that Is possible"

Gonaives, and the commander of the Ger

on the Crete-a-Pierrot, that he must re-

held by the foreign representatives at
Port-au-Prince,- said the dispatch that
the action OF the Crete-a-Pierrot was
piracy, but IL was not then known whether

MOROS ARE IMPLACABLE.
They Have Rejected All Friendly
Overtures from Americana

MANILA, Sept. Capt. j. j. Pershing
who is in command of the American force
at Camp Wears, Island of Mindanao, re-
ports to General Chaffee that several of the
Moro chiefs whose followers have attacked
American soldiers have rejected all friend
ly overtures and that he has been unable
to reach any understanding with them.
The breaking of negotiations with the
Moros, Captain Pershing reports, will prob
ably bring on a crisis in the Moro situation.
1t is believed in Manila that a renewal of
Moro attacks will result in retaliation by
the American forces. The military records
show that since the Bayan fight last May
the Moros have made twelve attacks on
American soldiers, killing four Americans
and wounding twelve, including one officer.

him. But sudden as it was, death
did not find him unprepared. On
Sunday evening, Oct. 10, he attended
the revival meeting in the M. r.

obtained pardon. Those who remain
to weep are not as those who have no
hope. His death was shock to the
community, and the bereaved family
have the sympathy Of every one in
their bereavement. He was prom

by all who knew him. The funeral
services were conducted at the home
Sunday afternoon, Oct. 26, by Rev.
