EXTRA SESSION IN THE FALL
That Is the Report Now in Circulation
in Washinqton.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Allison
has said in an interview today that he
believes there will be no tariff revision
or internal revenue legislation this win
ter, but he hints that it may be advis-
able to revise the tariff later on, which
comedies with the opinion now general
ly prevailing that the president will
perhaps see his way clear to a special
session of congress next fall for tariff
work. The argument against the spring
extra session is that there will not be
time between now and then for necessary
preliminary work.
Representative John Lind of Minneso-
ia, in discussing the tariff question to-
day with The Journal correspondent, pre-
dicted that there would be no extra
session of the fifty-ninth congress, and
no revision of the tariff during the life
of that congress, which would carry the
republican party into the off year cam
paign of 1906, without anything having
been done along the line of revising the
tariff by its friends.
As to whether Mr.. Lind is right or
wrong in his prophecy, opinions will diff
fer, perhaps, but it begins to look as
if the first part of that prophecy would
come true. The leading men of the
party, or enough of them to obstruct any
revision program which the president
may have, have declared against an eX-
ira session, and if the president should
call one would do everything in their
power to prevent it from accomplishing
revision results.

GRAND JURY is BUSY.
Brown County Board Of Inquiry inves-
tigating Gerhard Murder.
Especial to The Free Press.

lOpeCldl 10 Inc r rec tTeSS.J
New Ulm, Dec. l4.-All eyes are
turned toward the Brown county grand
jury. The inquiry into the murder of
DIR. i. A. Gerhard is under full head
way. Former Attorney General Childs
is acting for the state and is putting
the questions to the witnesses as fast as
they appear. The evidence produced is
along the lines presented at intervals
during the past six weeks by The Free
Press. There is no doubt that an in
dictment will be returned against Koch
1t is said that the attorneys for Koch
hope that the grand jury will take such
action, for they are certain that jury
trial will result in his acquittal, and
thus he will be cleared in the eyes of the
people.
The trip made by Attorney Somsen
and Editor Brooks to Rochester has
excited a great deal of interest here.
1t is known that these two gentlemen
were closeted for several hours with
Supt. A. S. kilbourne of the state hos
pital One theory is that Somsen and
Brooks are in search of expert testi-
mony, and that in case the evidence pro-
duced at the trial is sufficient, in fact
so clear as to prove that Koch commit
ted the murder, this testimony will be
used to show that the deed was COM
mitted while the defendant was in the
throes of emotional insanity. Friends

building, and called him.
She then became unconscious herself,
and fell Just outside the office door, The

New Phase of the Mysterious Case Which Has Been
Under Investigation In New Ulm
for the Past Six Weeks.
Louis Spreng, Committed to Rochester Hospital Nov.
II, Is Suspected by Some Having
Done the Deed.
Especial to The Free Press.1

New Ulm, Dec. Ian attempt is
now being made to fasten the crime
of which DIR. G. II. Koch is accused
that of numbering DR.. l.. A
Gebhard-upon the frail shoulders OF
Louis Spreng, an inmate of the Rochester
insane hospital.
Spreng was committed to the state
hospital on Nov. %. He is a young man
aged thirty eight. He is the son of a
widow woman, Mrs. Juliar Spreng, who
lives about half mile beyond the Koch
residence. She conducts a truck garden
and until incarcerated in the asylum the
boy assisted his mother on the ten,
acre tract which she owns.
Louis Spreng had been paying consid.
cradle attention to the daughter of a
neighbor, Miss Preisinger. The girl did
not take kindly to the young mans
protests of love and his attentions be-
came so obnoxious to her that she final
ly informed her mother of what was
going on. The mother made complaint
to the authorities and on Nov. % Preng
was examined as to his sanity, adjudged
insane and committed to the institu-
ton at Rochester, where he now is.
1t was to get look at this man
Spreng that Brooks and Somsen went
to Rochester, and if what is reported in
the Twin City newspapers is true, this is
the person Brooks must have been re-
fering to when he stated that the muir
derer of Gerhard is in Rochester
But Spreng does not answer to the
description given of the murderer on the
night and on the day following the
commission of the crime. Brooks made
the statement that the man he saw in
the act of drawing a knife from Geb-
hard's neck had dark wavy hair, was
possibly five feet and one-half or eight
inches tall and wore a dark moustache
Later Brooks changed this description
making the statement that he was not
positive that the man had moustache
Spreng is very small man and is a
pronounced blonde. He is not five
feet tall, according to the statement
made this morning by his mother.
This morning Attorney Somsen re-
quested Detective Manning and Attor-
ney Steinhauser to go to the Spreng resi-
dence and make an examination for
blood stains. 1t is reported that they
found none.
The attempt to connect Spreng with
the murder of Gerhard is ridiculed here
Spreng is weak minded, his condition
having been brought on by excuses. He
is not vicious, however, and it is said he
would not harm a chicken.
Refused to Indict julius.
The grand jury has refused to return
an indictment against Sheriff Julius for
alleged assault upon DIR. Koch. The
matter was investigated by that body
yesterday afternoon. Koch was brought
before the jury. This was no doubt
planned by the attorneys for the de.
Tense who wanted the members of the
grand jury to get a look at the accus
ed.
