Liquor at Resort stopped,

Boston. Nov. S.-A sensation in military

Brown. proprietor Of the Tri-Mountain
House, Nahant. 10 stop the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors or stand governmental
prosecution.
Violation Of the anti-canteen law. which
forbids the sale Of intoxicating liquors on
premises held by the United States for

OF the order. Though the Tri-Mountain

from the government for a term Of FIVE
years. the lease having two years yet TO
run, the order VIII be strictly enforced.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN PARK.
Man Dead, Woman Dying on Bench
from Pistol Woundn.

Chicago. Nov. S-Sitting side by side on
bench under the Grant Monument in
Lincoln Park, an unidentified man and
woman were found, the former dead and
the latter dying. at II o'clock tonight
The woman was shot through the head.
She was unconscious. and expired at the
German Hospital at 1:30. The man had
a bullet in his heart
The police conjecture that the man
shot the woman and killed himself A
revolver lay on the ground beside him.
Both were young and we'll dressed.
The only clew in tie hands Of the po-
lice is the following note. hastily. scrawled
in pencil and thrust into an inside pocket
OF the mans coat:
Mary Olson is the cause Of my death.
Had Il not been for her I would have
been a happy man If there is any such
thing as justice she will get her due
All marks Of Identification on the mans
person had been removed. Even the notc
was unsigned. The woman carried a
purse. which contained nothing By which
she can be identified
Whether she was the Mary olsen re-
tefIeC 10 ~ Ine HOIe the ponce nave no
means Of knowing. Their theory is rather
that she came between the victims of to
nights tragedy; that the man tried TO ex-
plain away some accusation against him,
and. failing 20 satisfy his companion,
killed her and himself
No one was near the scene Of the
tragedy at the time it was enacted. Park
Policeman William Johnson heard the
shots. however, and. hurrying TO the
spot, found the dead man and dying
woman. The question whether the pair
were not killed by a third person has
been raised, and the police are investi-
eating. The general impression al police
headquarters is, however. that the case
was one Of murder and suicide

George Washington University. OF Wash
ington. j.. c.. who was arrested here to
day under the accusation Of having mur-
dered his mother-in-law. Frau Molitor, at
Baden Baden, make the case against him
appear much more serious than it seemed
al first
The story Of the alleged murder. as now
related, is as follows
"On the evening Of November 6. the
widow Of DR. Molltor was called 70 the
telephone in her home in Baden-Baden
and received a request to go to the post
Office and get a parcel that was there for
her. She started ar once. accompanied
by her youngest daughter. When passing
through a quiet street a shot was fired
from behind her and Frau Molitor fell
dead. her heart having been pierced by
bullet
The man who fred the shot was seen,
but he escaped. He was described as
being Of medium height, and apparently
under forty years Of age. He wore an
obviously false beard. He was undoubt-
edly the man who had called Frau Moli-
tor on the phone, or hireling employed
20 murder her. It IS stated that Frau
Molitor had been threatened before, and
that cunning plots were laid against her.
Former Ruse Recalled.
On one occasion she was summoned By
telegraph 10 Paris 20 visit a sick daugh-
ter. Prof. Haus' wife. The sickness prov
ed a hoax. and it is believed that sum
mOHing her to France was actualls part
Of a plot TO murder her. which misCarried.
L is hoped that the original telegram
wiII prove valuable evidence"
Hau was arraigned before a ma gistrate
almost Immediately after his arrest. He
declared the charge brought against him
was the result of "a MISUNDERSTANDING. and
asked the maEistraJe TO send him i'm
mediately to Germany fer trial
The detective who arrested him at tnc
Hotel Cecil was put on the stand and
testified that he had read tbs warrant 20
the prisoner.
"Hau Immediately said ta me-. tesu-
fed the detective, 1t Is q mlsunder-
standing Then he added afterwsrd-
Don't you know where the murder was
committed? 2?
The telegram came from Baden
me- ! have just come from there
ContradictS the Detective.
Hau repudlated the detectives state
ment in this connection. declaring that
what he had said was that he had just
returned from the Continent The detec-
tive insisted his version was correct,
whereupon the prisoner interjected:
That accounts for tive legrams my
wife received to-day, that her
mother was dying and ths was accused
Of numbering her"
At the close OF the hearing. the pris-
oner was remandCd. pending the arrival
OF evidence from B sn-Baden.
iiau's wife and two children were with
him when he was a. rested. and their grief
as the warrant was read was pitiable.
