Syracuse, N Y, Dec. 26-Mr and

who believe that their daughter, Mrs.
Bessie Bouton, was the victim of the
awful murder in North Cheyenne
canon, near Colorado Springs, Colo.

motive was undoubtedly robbery.
According to her parents, Mrs. Bou-
ton was in the employ of drug firm.

West. She owned and usually wore
expensive diamonds, and she carried a
watch worth $1,000 when she was here

mas with her relatives. Mrs. Bouton
was twenty-three years old, five feet
two inches in height, and her mouth
was filled with crown and bridgework
estimated to cost 5000. All of these
marks are found on the body Of the
dead woman, the teeth being the one
mark of possible identity which the
murderers failed to destroy.
Mrs. Bouton's mother has wired to
another daughter, Mrs. Charles Nelson
of Santa Barbara, California, to hasten
to Colorado Springs and try to estab.
lish whether the dead woman and the
Kempter girl are the same. No word
has yet been received from California
as to whether Mrs. Nelson will make
the investigation or not

VICTIM IDENTIFIED.
Sister in California Believes M-s. Iou-
ten Was Murdered.

Denver, Dec. '27.-The News this
morning says: Bessie Bouton, believed
to be the young woman who was found
on Cutler mountain with bullet in
her brain and her face burned beyond
recognition, was, with her alleged
paramour, Milton Franklin, a guest at
the Albany hotel from May 2nd to
July 18th. This was established by the
hotel register last evening.
The couple registered as G. Bouton
and wife, but it rs believed Franklin
took the name Of the woman, who had
been married to Bouton in Syracuse
and separated from him four years
ago. The man at the Albany was a
gambler Special dispatches to the
News from Syracuse, New York, and
Santa Barbara, California, give many
additional facts, all of which seem to
corroborate the belief that Bessie Bou-
ton was the victim.
Mrs. Charles Nelson of Santa Bar
bara, where Bessie Bouton and Frank
lin visited, says she received letter
six weeks ago from her sister, saying
she had guarreled with Franklin and
the next heard of Bessie Bouton was
when she read descriptions of the
Cutler mountain victim.
w. j. Bodno, whose Wife's elOpment
was told in special dispatches to the
News from Butte recently, is on his
way to Colorado Springs to see if the
remains are those of his wife. 1t is
thought he is mistaken.

Lighting Up a Lake.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 2G.-Among the
novelties of the electrical illumination
scheme designed for the Lewis and
Clark Exposition is the submarine
lighting of Guilds lake. This lake is
the largest body OF water ever en-
closed in an exposition grounds, being
over 200 acres in extent, and the ar
rangements being carried out will
transform the lake into blaze OF
glory.
The lights will be fifty-candle power
and enclosed in air and water-tight re-
ceptables. Spectators will be able to
see all kinds of fish swimming about
IA the shallow water. This submarine
illumination will also give the effect
Of dancing flames of fire at a distance

To Regulate Corporations.

The first annual report of the COM
missioner of corporations has been
submitted to Congress by Commits
sioner Garfield. He says no satisfac-
tory reform is to be expected under the
state system of incorporation; that the
federal government has at its COM
mand sufficient power to remedy exist
ing conditions in its control of inter
state commerce.
He therefore suggests that Congress
consider the advisability of enacting a
law for the legislative regulation of in
terstate and foreign commerce under a
license or franchise which in a general
should provide as follows:
THE granting of federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate COM
merce
THE imposition of all necessary re-
quirements as to corporate organiza-
tion and management as condition
precedent to the grant of such a fran
chise or license.
THE prohibition of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
in interstate and foreign commerce
without such federal franchise or IL
cense.
THE full protection of the grantees
of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto.
The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case of vi
oiation Of law, with appropriate right
Of judicial appeal to prevent abuse OF
power by the administrative officers.
Commissioner Garfield says the bu
reau, under the direction of the secre
tary of commerce and labor, affords
the appropriate machinery for the ad
ministration of such law.

ST Petersburg, Dec. 27-Emperor

LATEST WASHINGTON NEWS AND
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS
Washinston's Smoke Nuisance.

Drastic action has been recon-
mended by the President looking to the
suppression of the smoke nuisance in
this city. A letter was sent by his d.
rectiOn to the district commissioners
November 30th inquiring if it were not
possible to proceed criminally against
the officers of an electric light COM
pany.
He denounced the violation of the
smoke law by the company at the very
doors of the White House as an out
rage and urged that the managers OF
the company be arrested again and
again, at short intervals, in an efcrt
to abate the nuisance.
No response having been received
that was satisfactory, the President au-
thorized to-day the publication of the
letter to the district commissioners. 1t
follows:
THE President has again taken up
with his Cabinet the smoke nuisance,
so far as the public buildings are con-
cerned. He would like especially to
call your attention, however, to the
well-nigh intolerable manifestation OF
the nuisance by the electric light COM
pany. Is it not possible to proceed
criminally against the managers OF
this company? If not, drastic legtsla-
tion should be recommended.
1T is an outrage on the city that
such nuisance should be permitted
to exist right by the White House. At
almost every hour of the day this
great chimney can be seen emitting
dense clouds of black smoke. 1t would
seem to be wise to go to the very limit
of the law and to arrest the head OF
the company, or those highest up in
the company, again and again at the
shortest possible intervals, in order to
put stop to this nuisance, for the
conduct on their part amounts to a
fragrant defiance of the law and of re.
spect for public opinion, and is fraught
with serious consequences to the city
OF Washington"

Inaugural Ball Contention.

An objection of Mr.. Mann of Illinois
to unanimous consent to take up the
inaugural resolution in the House of
Representatives sent the whole mat
ter over until after the holidays. Mr..
Morrell of Pennsylvania. on behalf Of
the committee on the District of Co
lumbia, was directed to move the pass
age of the Senate resolution which,
among other things. provides for hold
ing the inaugural ball in the pension
building, as heretofore.
Mr.. Underwood opposed considera-
tion of the resolution at this time
when, he said, a quorum Of the House
was not present, and called attention
to the promise made four years ago
that the people of Washington would
construct a place for holding inaug-
ural balls.
Asked by Mr. Mann Qllinois) why
the committee had switched first
from the congressional library, then
to the capitol and now to the pension
building, Mr.. Morrel said it was be.
cause of the evident disposition of the
House to hold the inaugural ball in
the pension building.
The resolution was criticised by
Mr.. Mann because he said it permitted
the charging OF excessive prices for
cabs and carriages, and he thought
there should be a quorum present to
consider the other features of the bill.
He objected to a motion for unani.
nous consent to take the resolution
up and it accordingly goes over until
after the holidays.

LIVE STOCK IN GEORGIA.

There is steady improvement in
our State in the selection and rearing
of live stock. Enterprising farmers
are no longer satisfied with scrub cat,
tie and horses. but are stocking their
farms with the beat breeds. They
do not confine their efforts to selec.
lection, but give great care also to
supplying them with wholesome food
and good shelter against inclement
weather. Our cities and towns afford
splendid markets for first-class beef,
mutton, poultry and hams. Why can.
not our farmers supply these things e?
Fresh beef from the country, fat and
tender, and free from the peculiar
odor and taste often found in cold
storage meats, If the supply could be
made to equal the demand, would be
at a premium over western beef The
same is true of all other meats.
