By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.--The police have
not yet arrested Frank ]. Constantine
for the murder of Mrs. A. w. Gentry
last Saturday. The cabman who drove
him around the city after the crime
was taken into custody today, but was
able to give little information of value.
From articles found in his room the
police believe Constantine passed un-
der several aliases, as some of his
clothing was marked "A. w. Stokes"
and he also gave other names to
tradesmen here.
At the inquest. which was held to-
day, DR.. Doherty, whose apartments
are directly under those In which the
crime was committed and to whom
Mrs. Gentry ran for help, testified that
Mrs. Gentry was almost beheaded when
her thoat was cut.

Will Look Into Question

81 am trying to give you a fair and
square answer, but L cannot go further,
but l will look into the question and
let you know"
Mr.. Hadley-I am not satisfied. Do
you know that Mr.. Moffett, president
of the Standard Oil company OF In
diana, has an office at 26 Broadway?
u have answered that"
you can answer twice the same
way, can you not2"
Il imagine that he has an office
there, but l never was in it. My
previous answer covers the question
exactly"
1T is charged in this case that the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, the
Waters-Piercc Oil company and Re-
public Oil company are in confedera
tion and agreement in violation of the
II ust laws of Missouri. Do you not
know that the STANDARD Oil company
of New York owns or controls, either
through itself or other parties, ma
Jority of the stock in all these COM
panies?'
II object" said Mr.. Hagerman. "as
the question Of stock ownership is still
in court"
Mr.. Hadley said the question of stock
ownership is not pending in any court
ia Missouri, but on the contrary, the
commissioner appointed in Missouri to
take evidence in this case has ruled
that such evidence is admissible and il
has been admitted in Missouri
Mr.. Hagerman said that was not cor
rect as he understood it, but the ques-
ton, is still undecided.
Commissioner Sanborn found the
question competent and instructed Mr.
Rogers to answer. Mr.. Rogers declined
to do so.

Norfolk for Baltimore in tow of the

A heavy show was falling when the.
tug with her tow passed up the bay
The master of the towing tug is said
to have reported upon arriving at
Baltimore with the barge that the
schooners crew cut her adrift from
the tug in the storm. It is believed
that this was done because the
schooner was leaking under the strain
of towing and her master believed she
would ride more easily under sail.
Passengers in Panic.
Philadelphia, Jan. IA. The South
Brigantine life saving crew reports
that steamship ashore near that sta
ton is the Clyde liner Cherokee from
San Domingo for New York. The yes
sci is unchanged. The life savers
found the passengers on board the
Cherokee in panic demanding to be
taken off Immediately. After assuring
them that they were in no immediate
peril the life savers stood by the
steamer to be ready for any emerg-
ency.
The Cherokee rolled badly on ac-
count of heavy sea. Tugs from At
lantic City will try to put her into
deep water at high tide.
