HAVE A CLUE.
Police Hear of Man Carrying Mys-
terious Bundle.

Colorado Spring, Colo, Dec. 90
The latest clue in the murder mystery
of Cheyenne mountain which has been
received by the sheriff and chief of po-
lice is now being traced out by officers
of the department and with some show
of success. The clue was furnished
by Mrs. Ellen E. Jack, who owns a
number of mining claims on Cheyenne
mountain and who discovered several
pieces of women's clothing while on
her way to this city yesterday.
Part of a white skirt and portions
of a wooden dress were in the find. but
as she had heard nothing of the sensa-
tional murder mystery, Mrs. Jack did
not report her find until today.
Sheriff Grimes and Police Chief
Reynolds and two officers were at once
dispatched to the region described by
Mrs. Jack.
The woman states that about dusk
in the latter part of November she saw
a man whom she took to be German
clim bing along the hillside in an ex-
cited manner and carrying bundle in
a gunny sack. He appeared to be
avoiding the regular roadway as much
as possible and walked among the
trees along the road. He is described
as between 40 and SO years of age,
wore a moustache and short whiskers
of a light brown, was about feet 8
inch es tall. and medium build. The
man was very excited and asked for
directions to some place to stop for the
night but when directed to the section
house on the Short Line road. paid no
attention to the directions given, but
continued on over the hill in the direc-
ton of Cripple Creek.
Chief Reynolds received a telegram
from Chief of Police Ball of Atlanta,
Ga, asking for full description of the
body found.
John Quirk of Denver, who thought
from the description of the body it
might be that of his wife, after view
ing the remains very carefully de-
cIared that his fears were groundless.

HAS THE POWER.
United States Can Regulate
Interstate Commerce.
Commissioner of Corporations
Garfield Files His Report.
NEW LAW Is NEEDED.
Compelling TransportationCom
panies to Take Out a License.
Franchise to Garry With 1t All
Necessary Restrictions.

Washington, Dec. 21.-The first an
nual report of the commissioner of cor
porations was submitted to congress to-
day by Commissioner Garfield. He says
no satisfactory reform is to be expected
under the state system of incorporation !;
that the federal government has at it's
command sufficient power to remedy
existing conditions in it's control of in
terstate commerce. He therefore Sug-
gests that congress consider the advis-
ability of enacting a law for legislative
regulation of interstate and foreign
commerce under license or franchise
which in general should provide as fol-
lows:
''The granting of a federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate COM
merce.
THE imposition of all necessary re-
quirements as to corporate organization
and management as condition preced-
ent to the granting of such franchise or
license.
1.-The requirement of such reports and
returns as may be desired as a condi
ton of the retention of such franchise
or license.
THE prohibition of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engaging
without such federal franchise or Ii
cense.
THE full protection of the grantees of
such franchise or license who obey the
laws applicable thereto.
1.-The right to refuse or withdraw such
franchise or license in case of violation
of law with appropriate right of judic
ial 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 admins
tration of such a law.

BOTH HOUSES ADJOURN
The Senate Was in Session but Four
Minutes.

Washington, Dec. 21.-After a ses-
sion of four minutes duration the sem
ate adjourned today until January 4
next The proceedings consisted of a
prayer by Chaplain Hale, the reading
of the journal of Mondays brief ses-
sion, and the receipt of a number of
nominations from the president.
In the House.
Washington, Dec. 21.-As soon as
the house met today Mr.. Morrill, (Pa.)
called up the senate resolution grant
ing the inaugural committee permis-
sion to use certain public buildings
and reservations, including the use of
the pension building, for the inaugural
ball.
Mr.. Underwood opposed considera-
ton 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-
uraI balls.
Asked by Mr.. Mann (Ill.) why the
committee had switched" first from
the congressional library, then to the
capitol, and now to the pension build
ing, Mr.. Morrill, said it was because of
the evident disposition of the house to
hold the inaugural ball in the pension
building.
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 con-
slider the other features of the bill. He
objected to a motion for unanimous
consent to take the resolution up, and
it accordingly goes over until after the
holidays.
The house then adjourned until
January 4, 1905.

OSBORN WON'T QUIT.
Going Right Ahead With His New
CrematOry Plans.

W. L. Osborn, the head of the new
crematory company, states that the
people who are objecting to the erec-
ton of the works on the new site have
not put in their objections with him
and that he will continue to go ahead
with his plans as if nothing had oc-
Cured. He has ordered $4,000 brick
and other building material and this
together with what is contained in the
old crematory plant will be sufficient
for the enlarged new plant. Just as
soon as the council acts favorably the
work will be rushed with all expedition
to completion. Mr.. Osborn has as yet
not consulted his attorney with regard
to legal procedure in case injunction
proceedings should be instituted
against him.
