Doesn't Believe Mcdonald the
Man Who Should Hang for
the Schafer MURDER. y

Bedford, Ind, Feb. 12.-Few peo-
pie here believe James Mcdonald has
any connection with the murder of
Sarah Schafer. That the local officials
are in doubt is evidenced by the fact
that the board of inquiry has been or
dered TO r%econvene today. The order
20 reopen the investigation resulted
from the receipt of information from a
source considered reliable, calling at
tention to the presence in the city of
a stranger whose actions indicate that
he has knowledge of some crime re-
Gently committed.
he Raves About q Murder.
1t is alleged that the stranger came
to the city and engaged rooms at the
home of a prominent citizen on the
night preceding the murder. Since
that time his actions havebecome more
peculiar. until it was thought best that
the family inform the local authori-
ties. 1t is said that during the night
the man raves and talks in a rambling
manner of a murder. This mar will
be subjected to a rigid investigation
by the committee.
Says He Knows the Murderer.
The stranger is reported to have
made the following statement in Mes
sick & Dodd's drug store: Il will bet
$50 they have the wrong man. Who
killed Sarah Schafer? i guess l know,
and there are Others"
Story That Helps Mcdonald.
1. Z. Grigsby. a grocer whose store
is more than seven blocks distant from
the alley where the murder was com
mitted, has informed the police that
James Mcdonald was in his store at
$50 O'Clock on the evening of the MUIR
der. and hat he did not appear to be
in the least excited. and remained for
some time purchasing groceries and
supplies. This story is corroborated by
the grocer's wife.
Mcdonald Has a Good Appetite.
A telegram from Jacksonville says
that Mcdonald eats heartily and ap-
pears unconcerned. He discusses the
crime calmly. and gives the following
about himself: Until IA years old /
was an inmate of the Soldiers Or
phans' Home at Normal, Ill. After
that 1 went to live with my uncle,
James Mcdonald. and took his name.
I went to Bedford in 1893 and mar
ried a widow in 1898. She left me ten
days before the murder ecause ! was
drinking l sobered up and she came
back to me the day before the murder.
On the night Of the murder 1 went
to the Doctors Office TO get medicine
and returned home shortly after z
o'clock"

Fever was succeeded by a sudden chill.
which resulted in an alarming COM
plication. Powerful stimulants were
promptly applied. For two hours and
a half oxygen was applied continuous
~, and later more irregularly as its
good effects began 10 manifest them
selves. The senator lapsed into uncon-
sciousness with the sinking spell. DR..
Carter was alone with him at the be-
ginning of the attack, but Drs. Osler
and Rixey were summoned Immediate
ly, and on their arrival the three
worked necessarily with their patient
until the reaction came late in the
afternoon.
Prior to the sinking spell saline solu-
tons were given, and strychnine in
1-30 grain doses were administered.
but much more heroic remedies were
resorted to during the period OF the
acute attack. In the forenoon the sen
ator had been well enough to be
shaved, he making the request to his
brother. H. NJ. Hanna.
At 6:1O Senator Hanna's brother on
leaving the sick room said: Mark had
a very severe chill, but is slowly com
ing out of it under the influence of
powerful stimulants and oxygen. His
temperature is lower and he Is breath
ing better" Prior to this those com
ing from the sick room scarcely knew
what TO say regarding the senator's
condition, so much depended upon his
power to rally.
Finally a bulletin announcing the re-
action and improved condition was is
sued by the doctors, giving relief to
the large number of the senator's
friends who were in his Office and IN
the corridors of the Arlington. A great
er portion of the Ohio delegation
called: also a long list Of senators and
members OF the house. The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt called during the
afternoon. Mrs. Roosevelt was with
Mrs. Hanna when the doctors an
nounced an improved temperature. The
president came later and remained in
the senator's apartments nearly half
an hour.
Senator Hanna, as the night wore
on, continued at least to hold the rally
he had shown, and at IL o'clock the
doctors said that the indications were
that the senator would have a quiel
and comfortable night. They said that
he at that hour was resting withou'
any artificial aid, but oxygen In Sigh
and diminishing doses was being CIV

Washington, Teb. Ex-senator Han
ma is passing through the climax of his
illness and yesterday. afternoon it was
feared he was dying, but last night he
rallied strongly and there is again
some hope that he yet ma win the
forlorn fight. The odds are much
against his recovery, but the sturdy
physique of the man, aided by oxygen
and powerful stimulants, brought him
through when he was sinking rapidly,
and possibly may again. 1t is now a
question how long the climax of the
fever will last. and how many and
severe will be any further acute at
tacks. for yesterdays spell was so Sc
we're that another probably would wit
ness the end.
Attack Begins with q Chill.
Yesterdays acute attack came In
the form of a chill about 2 p. M. and
not long afterward Senator Hanna
passed into unconsciousness. not to re-
turn again until about 6 p. m. His
pulse at this time ran up to 80, and
was so feeble that it was not percepti-
bic at the wrist. Three hours or so
later. however, he had shaken off the
attack to so great an extent that DIR.
lsler, the Baltimore physician in at
enhance, when he came from the sick
Dol at 9:35 o'clock, said there had
cen a decided Improvement, and that
he patients pulse was much stronger
ind had fallen nearly 20 points.
Doctor Says There Is Hope.
Mss Mary Phelps. the senator's
Edece, was near at hand when the doc
tor came from the sick room. and when
she heard the announcement of the raj
ly, she asked: Then you have hope,
doctor?-
"Hope" the doctor replied. "Of
course there is hope. When a man raj
lies from a sinking spell such as the
senator had this afternoon. and showed
such strength afterward, there is the
best ground for hope"
The first information from the sick
room in the Arlington hotel showed
the fever TO have attained the high
est point yet reached and the doctors
looked for the senator's temperature
to be at its worst during the following
forty-eight hours. but it Unexpectedly
lowered as the day wore on. and de-
velopments seemed more favorable.

Stone for the District Building.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
1 notice that the kind of stone for the
District building has not yet been decided
upon. I sincerely trust that the decision
will be in favor Of granite instead Of mar
BILE, for several reasons. In the first place,
1t not only gives the building a more sub
stantial appearance, but 1t is an established
fact that granite is far more substantial
and durable than marble. In the second
place, marble shows the dirt much more.
The dust that accumulateS on the window
stills and projections is washed down by the
rains, leaving dirty streaks on the walls.
and as marble is very porous stone, these
streaks in few years become so imbedded
in the stone that they cannot be removed.
Then again the glazing white of the marble.
if dressed so reflects the sunshine as to
be very disagreeable to eyesight. For these
reasons 1t seems to me that granite should
be chosen. While the white granite may
be preferable, but may not be available
because of its greater cost, 1 would much
sooner choose the Vermont granite than
marble Indeed, / think all government
buildings. wherever located, should be of
granite.
AS to the cost 1t should be borne in mind
that this is building for the capital of the
nation, and that 1t is not for the present
alone but for all time, and 1t should there
fore. be one that will be a credit to the
capital and the nation; II we could have
its half interest in the city hall, during the
days Of the board of public works.and which
Congress in the act authorizing the sale
said should be devoted solely to the cree
ton of a District building, but which the
board in violation Of the act used for other
purposes, it would be quite help In the
erection of a suitable building. But with
out that it is far better TO spend the money
TO secure a 1rst-class building than for
many other purposes now urged upon the
Commissioners. w. T. DoodE.
