NOTHING NEW is KNOWN.
All Murder Clues Prove Barren Of
Results,

Des Moines, April 21.-No new dis.
closures have been made in the in
vestigation of the murder of Lena and
Tommy Peterson, and it is becoming
evident that the detectives have about
abandoned hope of running the Grim
inals to cover for some time, at least.
Two or three men have been placed
in positions to keep watch for any
clues that may develop in certain To-
calities during the next three or four
days.
otherwise the detectives who have
been working continuously since Sun
day night, seem disposed to rest on
their oars, and beyond investigating
several clues called to their intention.
they are doing very little. Chief
Bracket received a telegram from
Walnut stating that suspicious regrs
had been seen to pass through that
town in the morning. but beyond the
statement that the colored man look
ed suspicious, there was nothing to
connect him with the crime, and the
chief wired back reply stating that
he did not consider the information
sufficient upon which to base an order
for his arrest.

Boy Murderer at the Home of Profess
sor Harlan.
Anamosa, April 21.--Wesley Elllins
walked out of the penitentiary here a
free man Saturday morning after an
Imprisonment of twelve years, three
months and five days. He was met in
Warden Hunters Office. by Professor
Harlan of Cornell college, Mt. Vernon,
who drove him over to Mt. Vernon,
going across country. Elkins will be
kept by Professor and Mrs. Harlan at
their home for several weeks until
they become acquainted with him and
he gets to know the world, of which
ne scarcely knows anything now. A
conference of his friends will then
be held to determine upon his future
work and life, but he will not do any
thing toward working until late in the
summer. This was the first time that
Ellins has been outside the prison
walls since he was first incarcerated
twelve years ago at the age of IL. Only
twice has he been beyond the inner
guards. Once about five years ago
when Warden Madden had him escort
ed by a guard across the Enclosure to
the warden's office. The second time
was a few weeks ago, when he was
taken under guard to the warden's
reception room to meet the subcom-
mittee from the legislature.

DEMANDS INVESTIGATION.
Senator Teller Wants Information on
Sugar Situation.

Washington, April 21.-Mr. Teller,
of Colorado, has introduced in the
senate the following:
Whereas, 1t has been currently re-
ported that nearly the entire crop of
Cuban sugar has been purchased, and
Is now held by what is known as the
sugar trust which Is the principal
consumer OF raw sugar in the United
States, and that any concession given
to the raiser of cane sugar in the
island Of Cuba or any measure in
tended for their relief by admitting
their sugar at reduced rates of duty
into the United States will only bene-
fit the sugar trust. and tie Cubans will
receive no real benefit from such con.
cession; and
Whereas, it is alleged that mum.
Der of citizens of the United States
have acquired large holdings of cane
producing lands in Cuba, and are now
especially urging the reduction of
duty on sugar, under the claim that
such reduction will benefit the people
of Cuba. therefore, De it
Resolved. That the committee on
relations with Cuba be directed to
make an Investigation as to the truth
of such charges and to report to the
senate; and to report. in addition
thereto, what is the normal cost of
making sugar in the island Of Cuba;
and also. If any concession shall be
made in the way Of reduction OF the
duty on sugar coming from Cuba into
the United States, what concessions
should be made by the government OF
Cuba about to be established on arti.
Giles produced in the United States
and exported into the said island of
Cuba. in order to make reciprocal
and equitable arrangement as to ex-
ports to Cuba and imports therefrom
to the United States.'
The resolution was referred to the
committee on relations with Cuba at
the suggestion of Platt, OF Connecticut

Householder the turbulent scene
Of yesterday. marking the passage OF
the revised Cuban reciprocity bill, the
house settled down to routine bust
ness today. An opportunity was foundt
however, for the two elements in the
recent struggle to give expression to
their feelings. This occurred while the
fertilization appropriation bill was
under discussion. GrosveEor, OF
Ohio, one of the ways and means
leaders, said that the amendment
which opponents of the ways and
means committee had engrafted upon
the Payne bill not only wiped out the
differential on sugar, but also did
away with the countervailing duty Of
the Dingley law. Weeks. of Michigan,
made spirited rejoinder in Dehalf of
those who opposed the ways and
means committee. He frankly con-
coded that the motive of the OPPOSE
ton had been to kill the reciprocity
bill. The fertilization appropriation
bill was passed and the conference
report on the legislative appropriation
bill was agreed to. Lacey's bill for
the protection OF game birds was
passed.

BALANCE MAY BE USED.
Small Fund Available for Fish and
Game Warden.


Game Warden.
Des Moines, April 17.-State Fish
and Game Warden George A. Lincoln
has been notified by the secretary OF
the executive council that he may use
a part Of the unexpended balance OF
the appropriation made for fish and
game purposes by the Twenty-eighth
general assembly. The sum which is
available from this source amounts
to S3,S44.71. This will have to dc
the work which was expected to be
done by the appropriation OF $4,000,
which failed to get through the leg,
islature this year because of the over,
sight of some person. 1t is needless
to say that the small balance avail,
able will not protect the fish and game
interests of the state as they have
been protected in the past
The act which passed the Twenty
eighth general assembly and was SUBJ
stantially the same as that which
should have gone through the last leg
islature, provided for the following
appropriations:
Fer gathering fish at Sabula
for restocking the lakes
and rivers of the state. ~ 100000
For protection, distribution
and reproduction of fish for
the next two years. ...... S.0O0.00
For the protection of game. 100000
Total ...... ...., 81 5, 100000
There is an uneXpended balance of
$3,521.31 left from the appropriation
for gathering fish; s1,323.6S from the
appropriation for the protection and re-
production of fish, and s323.40 for the
protection of game. This makes a
total of $5,16S.39 unexpended from the
entire appropriation of two years ago,
all of which might be available for
the coming period, did not the second
provision state specifically that the S.
900 was to be available for the two
years just past This will therefore
have to be charged off, while the re-
naming s3,8447l will be allowed for
the use of the fish and game warden
during the coming period.
This amount, although it will not go
far, is expected to keep the fish pond
at Sabula from going to wreck and
ruin, and the small balance left over
for the protection of game, although
entirely inadequate. will help out to a
small degree. The work Of protection,
distribution and reproduction OF fish
will have to be suspended for two
years to come, as none of the balance
can be used in this direction.
