Police Are Without CleW Which Lead to Murderer, But Chas. A. Kelley, a Painter, is Held by the Police on Suspicion.
Woman Was About 35 Years Old and is Said by the Police to Have Been of Questiona- bIe Reputation.

With two bullets through her brain and decomposition fast setting in, the body of Mollie Williams, woman about 35 years old, was found floating in East Lake yesterday morning by a dog, the property of Jim Wilson, an employe of the Woodward Cafe. The discovery was made by the dog about 11:45 o'clock, and shortly after noon the body was dragged from the lake by several men who had been called to the place by the dogs owner.
 The wounds in the woman's head evidently showed that she had been murdered and thrown in the lake. Either of them would have proven fa- tai instantly, as they passed through the brain.
 The body had evidently been in the water for about sixty hours, and it is supposed she was killed Thursday night between or o'clock by an old white man, evidently foreigner and well dressed, who was seen with her at the lake earlier in the afternoon of that day.

 Besides Coroner Paris Detectives Bod eker and Hamilton are working on the case They went to the lake early yes- terday afternoon and were there as soon as the coroner They have assisted him in securing much of the evidence and are now searching for a man who might fill the description.

WAS WITH MAN THURSDAY.
 Mrs. A. M. Edwards, who owns a little soda water stand at the East Lake sta tion. was one of those who saw the wo- man and the man at the lake Thursday afternoon. She says they were at the re- freshment stand and bought some ice cream. They were also seen by MT. Col Her, who is interested in the same stand
 It was largely through Mrs Edwards statement that Kelley was held by the coroner. She gave a description of the man she saw with the dead woman and when Kelley was carried before her she said that he was the same size, same age,
 wore the same kind of clothing. walked like the man, and in fact, fa- vored him in every way but that she
 would hate to swear that he was the same one. MT. Collier thought about the same
 way. although he never noticed the cou-
 pie as closely as did Mrs. Edwards.
 There was nothing found on the woman
 showing who she was, and it was not un- til late in the afternoon, about 30 o'clock that she was identified at the undertakers
 by a woman who claims to live in the
 same building with her at Avenue B
 and Twenty-first street.
 All that was found on the woman was a purse containing a Catholic Rosary, 90 cents. four keys one of which had
 stamped on the side Miller and a nap kin, evidently one used in some cheap
 restaurant or lunch counter. The purse
 was hanging from her belt on the left
 side and the contents as well as the leath- CT was thoroughly soaked with water. HER HAT FOUND FRIDAY. It Is certain that the woman had been in the water more than forty-eight hours, and probably sixty.

THE IOWA IDEA.

Referring to the policy OF protection,
Governor Cummings, OF Iowa. III a re-
Gently delivered speech, said: 1--WE
NAV differ, we do differ, respecting the
details of application, but when the pol
lev itself is threatened, it becomes every
man who approves it. whether he be re-
publican or democrat. whether he is for
revision or against revision, to lift his
voice in its defense and cast his vote for
its safety" The New York Tribune
saws that in this Governor Cummins
has "detiued air,sh the Iowa idea"
and while heartily commenting the
statement. says that it 'does not b istle
with heresy nor truckle 10 free trade
sentiments" As matter OF fact, the
statement attributed to Governor Cum
Minis does not "detire airesh" the Iowa
idea = In truth that statement by Gov
e-nor Cummins is just about As clear
As mud" The Iowa idea is very
clearly stated. 1t is represented in the
proposition that the shelter which the
trusts find in the tariff be destroyed.
Tie Tribune will not endorse that prop
osition and since the Iowa idea was
repudiated by the Iowa republicans III
state convention assembled, Governor
Cummins has had but little to say in
support OF the idea TO which at one
time he claimed such devotion.
