BEDFORD. Ind. Jan. 2S.-It became
known tate tonight that former Chief Of
Police Hager. of Louisville. and a Chicago
Pinkerton. the two detectives employed 10
run down the murderer OF pretty Sarah
Shafer. had confined their work to o..e
thing-that Of locating the man who forced
his attentions on Miss Shafer, as indicated
in letter received in Bedford to-day ad-
dressed to the dead woman. The letter
was the only matter discusse by the court
of inquiry for the last two hours of its scs-
sion tonight. and il is understood IL fur
nishes strong evidence against a man
whether his name is known or not l do
not know-who had visited Miss shafer not
more than ten days ago.
The information regarding the letter
which is now in the hands of the detectives
came as the result OF an overheard con-
versation between two men, both active in
the investigation. The letter was mailed
from Chicago and bears no address. II is
signed by only the first name of the writer.

the name of the man is furnished. The
writer in the opening lines, deplores the
fact that he had made crack" at Miss

down.
LETTER IS SIGNIFICANT.
The letter. it is understood. is very short.
and at no point is the mans name men
toned. Every statement indicates that
Miss Schafer had written a long letter to
the Chicago girl. telling her of her trouble.
The letter was received at the residence OF
Mrs. A. V. Smith. so she says. by the morn
ing mail. 1t was taken at once TO the city
Hall and given the court of inquiry. Cou-
pied with the story told by Albert Doich Of
the quarrel between a man and woman
wearing Tam O'Shanter and answering
in every particular the description Of Miss
Schafer. the evidence is the most significant
yet unearthed. The theory tonight u
only one is that the terrible crime Va
committed out of revenge. and that the
murderer was one whose attentions had
been rejected. The girl in Chicago is sup
posed to have been mutual friend. ac-
quainted with the relations between Miss
Schafer and the unknown man.

be returned to Bedford caused uneasiness

AN ADDRESS ISSUED
Special Activity and Untiring Energy
from Now Until the Closing of the
Polls, is the Cry That Goes
Forth from
Hearst.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York Oct. A.-Wil!iam Ran
dolph Hearst president of the Ma
tional Association of Democratic
Clubs, has issued an address to that
association, urging upon it's members
special activity and untiring energy
from now until the closing of the
polls.'' Mr.. Hearsts address says in
part:
81 have offered my services and
those of my newspapers to the man
ayers of the Democracy, and in so far
as l have felt justified as your presi-
dent in SO doing l have offered the
much greater influence Of the national
association of Democratic clubs,
pledging the honest cooperation of all
the members to further effort on the
lines of that genuine Democracy in
which majority of the American peo-
pie believe.
1T is the duty of the members of
the National Association of Demo-
cratic Clubs. and of all Democrats to
unite in proving that Democrats have
principles, and permanent principles.
1.-The Democratic party has great
respect for vested rights-it has also
a great hatred of vested wrongs. no
matter how long or respectable their
antecedentS. Democrats believe in
the statement of their platform that
the rights of labor are certainly no
less vested no less Sacred and no
less 'inalienable' than the rights of
capital.
Democrats denounce the exporta-
tion without process of law of work.
ingmen and women from the State of
Colorado or from any other part of
American soil. The Democracy de-
tests all kinds of anarchy, and espe-
cially that which puts the executive
of State. backed by the militia,
above the laws and above the courts.
Put Out the Thieves.
1.-THE Democracy believes in putting
the thieves out of the postoffice and
all other branches of public service,
from the United States Senate all the
wa- down.
THE Democrats believe that public
property is public property, and that
not even the occupant of the White
House should tnrn men-Of-War into
private yachts or make oe the officers
and sailors Of the navy the domestic
servants of the Presidents house
hold
1.-The Democratic party believes in
expansion-it is the party of eXpan-
sion, as Jefferson was America S
greatest exDansionist. But it is op-
posed to imperialism.
1.-The Democratic platform says:
"'We denounce protection As p rob-
berry of the many to enrich the few,
and Democrats mean exactly what
the platform says
They know that through protec-
ton the trusts rob the public work
ingmcn and business men alike. And
Democrats, if elected. will find a way
to pull away from the trusts their
protecting cloak-the tariff.
''These, with a heartily pledged
support of the Monroe Doctrine. a de-
mand that the service of the old SOL
diers be fairly and generously recog-
nized, and a vigorous protest against
the attempt of President Roosevelt to
stir up race hatred as an engine of
political advancement constitute the
main features Of the latest Demo-
cratic platform. worded to meet the
especial conditions and emergencies
of the day"
