This was the statement made by
Captain Of Detectives Burnett last
night. That he is still earnestly en-
deavoring to unravel the poison mys-
terry of January IA is attested by the
fact that he has three detectives as
signed to the case. They are Ed Glib
son, Wren and Dinan. Their principal
activities at this time consist of tracing
down suggestions that come in letters

or four of these missives every day.

private life of Mrs. Stanford. and 1t Is
to her that we must look for light on

so far as we have been able to
learn, Mrs. Stanford did not habitually
use strychnine as tonic. According

MORGAN MAKES
GRAVE CHARGES

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Sena-
tor Morgan occupied practically the
entire time in the discussion of the
Santo Domingo treaty in executive
session OF the Senate to-day. He made
a sensational speech in which he
charged that William Nelson Crom-
well of New York. who was promi-
nently connected with the sale Of the
Panama canal property TO the United
States, was the prime mover in 4
scheme to influence the United States
in the financial affairs of the Domini-
can Government. He asserted that
Cromwell was actuated by a desire to
illustrate a plan of a Mr.. and Mrs.
Reader, natives of Alabama, who are
operating under the name of the
Reader Syndicate, to get certain con-
cessions from the Dominican Govern
ment and to promote the interests of
a syndicate he represented, which, 1t
is alleged, holds a mass of claims
against Latin-American republics, in
cluding a large part Of the debts of
the Dominican. Government.
The alleged disclosures were de-
bated all day and the Senate is di-
vided as to whether Senator Morgan
made a case. The Democrats insist
that he did. while the leaders among
the Republicans declare that the
charges were made UP Of mass of
matter which contained no conclusive
evidence that Cromwell had used any
undue influence.
Among the Senate leaders to-day a
new plan was advanced in regard to
Santo Domingo, but ii deals with the
next session of Congress. 1t has been
suggested that if the whole matter is
allowed to go over a joint resolution
might be passed by Congress to au-
thorize the President to do the very
things that are proposed by the treaty.
1t is understood that the plan found
favor when it was suggested at the
White House by the Senators who
called there to-day.
Adjournment of the session cannot
be had until Saturday because of the
situation IN relation to the nomina-
tions for judgeships in Illinois, which
cannot be determined before that
time. Treaty discussion will go on
for the two days the session is expect
ed to continue and something more
may be expected of the charges made
by Senator Morgan.

ALASKANS TALK
OF ANNEXATION
Special Dispatch to Tn. Cain.

TACOMA. March 16.-Some of the
people of Southeastern Alaska have a
new remedy for Alaskan governmental
Ills. Skagway dispatches say they are
organizing to ask Congress to annex
the Alaskan Panhandle to Washington.
The failure of Congress to give Alaska
an elective delegate in Congress and
the development of the fact that there
is a strong faction in the United States
Senate that is opposed to the idea of
ever making a State of this district. or
any portion of it, are gaining adher-
ents for the proposition.

DOG GOT KARDoAFF's NOSE.

Herr Wilhelm Won Kardorff, the
veteran member of the German
reichstag who has been startling his
countrymen by declaring that the
British navy is becoming a menace to
Germany, has achieved fame and
honor, despite the fact that for the
last so years he has been without a
nose. When he was at Heidelberg
university in the '40s, he fought a
rapier duel with another student,
which combat resulted in the looping
off, close to the forehead, of his pro-
boscic. 1t might have been replaced
it is stated, had not the surgeon been
forestalled by one of the bog mastiffs
that generally attend their masters
at these encounters. However, a wax
nose has done service all these years,
and so clever is the imitation that
persons who are not in the secret
never suspect that it is artificial.
Herr Kardorff is rs years old
