A HORRIBLE CRIME,
Mutilated Remains of Four-Year-Old
Boy Found in a Lot in
Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 19.-The mutilat-
ed body of four-year-old Alphonse
Wines, whose father lives on St. Au-
bin avenue, was found Tuesday in lot
at the rear Of the Michigan stove works
at Adair and Wright streets The body
was discovered by a workman wedged
in between two molding boxes. The
hands were tied behind with wire and
a red handkerchief had been stuffed
down the little fellows throat for gag.
The body was partly stripped Of cloth
ing. The abdomen was slashed open
and the left wrist was nearly severed.
Both thighs also had long deep cuts in
them. All the wounds had apparent
ly been made with some very sharp in
strument. Alphonse had been missing
from his home since Monday noon.
Nothing was thought of his absence at
first, but when he did not return for
supper search was begun which ended
with the identification of the body by
his father at the morgue Tuesday after
noon. A swarm of detectives is at work
on the case without clew as yet

'TOlNCREASE STANDING ARMY
German Government to Ask Reich
stag for. More Men.
Certain to BE Unpopular.
with People.

Berlin, Aug. 19.-There seems to be
no doubt that the government, under
the impulse Of the emperor, is deter
mined to ask the reichstag for an in
crease in the permanent military estab-
lishment by about $4,000 men, to be or
ganized into two army corps, thus rails
ing the standing army to about CAT 900
officers and men. The increased annual
charge is estimated at $4,000, 900, exclu-
sive of equipment.
The first consideration leading the
government to propose what is certain
to be an unpopular measure is that
the military resources of the country
are not fully utilized by the existing es-
tablishment. Nearly 100000 men, NOR
ally and physically fit for service, reach
the military age yearly, who are not
taken into the standing army, because
of legal limitations. Although these
men who are shut out by lot from the
regular service undergo short periods of
drill in the reserve, they are regard
ed by the military administration as be-
ing unequal to the two years service
unit. The general staff, therefore, as
serts that since the national finances are
able to bear the expense a portion at
least of these 100000 capable men must

BREAKS OUT AFRESH.
Further Charges Preferred Against
Miller by BoOkbinders' Union
at Washington.

Washington, Aug 20.-The contro-
versy between the Bookbinders' union
and William A. Miller, assistant FORE
man in the government printing Office,
has broken out afresh. At the close
of the days work Monday Public
Printer Palmer handed to Mr.. Miller
set Of charges which had been pre-
pared by the union. Mr.. Miller was
informed that he could take the rest
of the week to reply to them, but he
sent them back to the public printer
Tuesday with the statement that they
were made by irresponsible parties,
that they were based on hearsay and
were too absurd to seriously consider.
The officials of the government
printing Office we're very loath to
discuss the case, but it was learned
that the charges we're mainly directed
against Mr.. Miller's personal charac-
ter and related to acts said to have
been committed as far back as Is
years ago. It was also learned that
a scouting committee from the Book
binders union recently made visits
to several towns in Pennsylvania for
the purpose OF collecting data to be
used against Miller.
An official of the government print
ing Office stated that Miller's status in
the Office is not likely to be disturbed.

CRIME IS STILL 4 MYSTERY.
No Clew to Murderer of Four-Year-
Old Boy at Detroit.
Entire Police Force Working ON
Case, But Have Thus Far
Been Unsuccessful.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 20.-The police
Wednesday we're as far from solution
Of the horrible murder of little four
year-old Alfonso Wines, as they we're
when the mutilated body was found
Tuesday. Charles Edwards, the suspect,
who was placed under arrest Tuesday
night, and who gives his residence as
Bangor, Me-, is still detained, but Lieut..
Sadler, of the detective department, said
he was satisfied that Edwards is not
guilty Of the crime. The local officers
have telegraphed to the police of Rock
ford, ILL.,, asking for a complete de-
scription of the killing of the newsboy;
in that city several weeks ago, which
bears so much resemblance to the crime
here. In reply the Rockford chief of po-
lice wired that he had already written
and mailed full history of the case.
and description of the mutilation of
the boy there.
The entire river front in the vicinity
of the lot where the body was found
has been searched by detectives and
newspaper men, without finding the
slightest traces of blood, and no one can
be found in the neighborhood who saw
the murdered lad during the evening.
The movements of Alphonse, after he
left his little sister near their home
Monday afternoon, are still a mystery.
The entire detective department. is work.
ing on the case.
The detectives are bending every en-
ergy toward locating the place where
the murder was committed. When found
the boys body was bloodless, yet there
was no blood in the vicinity, nor on his
body indicating that the crime was COM
mitted elsewhere, and the body washed
before being placed among the molding
boxes. Every conceivable place near the
lot where the body was found is being
searched, and box cars that we're stand
ing on nearby tracks Monday night will
be located and carefully examined One
fact has developed which may be of i'm
portance. The Waltern family, which
lives on Wight street, two blocks from
the spot where the body was found, re-
ported having seen man leading boy,
dressed as the dead lad was, by the hand
along Wight street Monday afternoon.
He was seen twice by different members
of the family.

Explanation Of Collision.
Montreal, Can, Aug. 19.-In an official
explanation of the collision between
the steamer Empress of India and the
Chinese cruiser Huang-Tai, the Cana
dian Pacific railway officials say the
two vessels were running parallel
courses about midnight when, with
out warning, the captain of the Chi
nese cruiser suddenly tried to cross the
bow of the Empress OF India. The
latter's captain Immediately maneu-
vered 80 that the collision, which he
knew would be the result, should be a
glaacing one. The bow of the cruiser
slid along the side of the Empress, but
the starboard propeller Of the Empress

will not be in a state of full preparedness
The general staff is said to have repre-
sented to his majesty that Germany's
position, in the middle of Europe,
with all the possibilities of a COM
bination against her, makes it their
duty to utilize all the means of
defense, and that even then the army,
numerically, will be half million be-
hind that of Russia on a peace footing.
1t is affirmed that the proposed in
crease has nothing to do with the pres
ent position of foreign questions.
