an alleged murder committed March
%, 1900. has Just been solved by

not until recently that the police re

was taken into custody Tuesday even
ing in st. Louis by Detective Edward
Dodd, of the Oesplaines street station.
y confession Las been made by Lyons
duplicating himself ana Moore.
Only One of Many Crimes.
The confession says not only that
Howard was drugged and robbed, but
that many victims have suffered SINH
lar fates at the hands of Lyons and
his accompliceS. HowardS case, how
ever, is the only one in which the re-
suits were fatal 1t was only after
the most persistent work on the part
of Inspector Shea and his detectives
that Moore was captured. The alleged
crime having happened so long ago
the police found it a difficult matter
to follow up the various threads CON
Meeting Moore and Lyons with the
death of Howard. Detectives were
sent to all parts of the country and
many false tips" were followed. The
work continued several months.
Put ChIOraI in His Beer,
According to a verbal confession
made by Lyons the alleged murder Oc-
Cured in q saloon at 80 West Madi-
son street. Lyons says he was in the
place when Moore entered with
stranger. The stranger, it later de
veloped. was George Howard. a print
err said Lyors. He was well dressed,
and Moore, whom 1 had known n long
time. Invited me to drink with him and
Howard. We went into a private room
and Howard called for drinks. Myself
and Moore had an understanding.
Moore induced Howard to step from
the room long enough to give me
chance to place choral in the victims
beer Howard returned to the room
and seemed to be under the influ
ence of liquor. He drank the beer
and soon fell to the floor unconscious.
Barkeeper Called Him Drunk.
1.-THE bartender appeared on the
scene and called III tn drunk. He or
dered us to take the man from the
saloon, and myself and Moore proceed
ed to carry Howard from the place.
While holding Howard in his arms
Moore searched his pockets and robbed
him of his money and valuables."
Lyons informed the police that he had
done the "chlOral trick in numerous
cases and that victims were found al
most every night. Farmers and
strangers in the city were usually
sought as victims.

Could Not Get a Record Vote.

1t fell to Payne. the Republican floor
leader, to offer the resolution, and he
said he did it with pride. noting at the
same time that it was not by any
means unprecedented, citing the cases
of Clay, Polk. Banks, and Reed. When
the previous question was demanded
Cochrane of Missouri demanded the
ayes and nays. but the demand was
not seconded by the necessary number,
there not being more than a score of
Democrats secOnding and it requiring
forty-two. When Il record vote was
demanded on the adoption of the reso-
luton only seventeen Democrats joined
Cochrane in the demand. and the res
Olution was adopted amid loud ap-
plauSe.

Mason the Feature in the Senate.

The usual resolution of thanks to
President Pro Tenn. Frye was unani-
mously adopted i'll the senate. Two
years ago when the Fifty-siNth con-
gress expired it was remarkable for
the fact that Senator Carter, CT Mon
tana. talked the river and harbor bill
to death, which occupied the time of
the senate up to within u few min
utes of the end. Yesterday Senator
Mason, whose term expired at noon,
also talked an unimportant bill 10
death, but in his valedictory he lee
tured the senate for its unlimited de-
bate which allows bills to be killed
in that manner, and he also made Il
final plea for the freedom of the Fill
pinoS.

For four-eleyen-forty-
Said Maud, as mild as summer seas,
What number did you ask fol, please?'
Said he, 81 told you twice before,
It's Observation-Disclosures"
Said Maud, and you could hear her
smile,
"Just hold the phone little while"
A weary interval ensued
The wires hummed an interlude.
And broken bits Of talk came DER
The phone, and made the waiter sore.
The wishbone-shaped receiver hook
He sliced and wildly shook.
Till Maudie's voice he heard once more,
What number are you asking forP'
The Judge responded with roar,
Its Observation-Disclosures.
Serenely Maud made answer then,
The line is busy call again"
The judge had business late that day,
And he merely walked away.
But as he walked he shook his head,
And this iS what hp said
"Of all the words of tongue or pen,
The d are: Busy call again."
