! Stafford Springs. Nov 9.-Sheriff Dickinson of Holland county with a number of deputies and several members of the state police force CO., operated today in the attempt 10 find the murderer of Mrs Carrie E. Will Hams, the aged wife of Henry Will Hams, a farmer, whose body was found in a pool of blood yesterday afternoon by Charles Bishop the hired boy on the Williams farm. The mur- derer who cut Mrs Williams throat, crushed her head in with club and then strangled her with towel until she was dead, got several hours start on the authorities and they have absolutely nothing to work on. Despite this fact 1t was hinted today that an arrest might be made late ill the day, but the clue the police have is not known. Young Bishop, tie helper was examined this morning by the police and Coroner Fisk and it was stated later that they are con vinced that he knew nothing of the murder. The rounds of the neig!lbors
 
 ed to have seen Il stranger in the yi- clnity during the day.
 Several tramps have been in this section Of the state of late and the police think It possible that q knight of the road having gone to the house and finding that Mrs Williams was alone beat her down suddenly, mur- dered her and then robbed the house. Those Investigating the murder won- der at the fact that the savage bull dog on the Williams farm was quiet cd by the person who committed the crime and this leads to the belief that some one perhaps familiar with the dog and the premises is the murder CT.
 Bishop was arrested thls noon on suspicion of knowing about the mur- der. Bishop admitted that he ex- pected to receive some of the money stolen from the house, in all about $100. He took the police to stump behind the house where the money was found hidden away in n hole. He claims he knew nothing about the murder, but that another farm hand on an adjoining farm had planned to rob the house

GREED OF MONEY.
Caused American Lawyer to Kill His
 Mothcr-;p-LaW.

Baden Baden, Germany, Nov g. Karl Hau, alias Stau, the lawyer of Washington. D. C.. who was arrested in London yesterday and held for ex- tradition. is wanted by the local po- lice on the charge of murdering his mother-in-law, Frau Molitor. His motive appears to have been insane greed for money. Frau Molitor, who was wealthy, refused many times to comply with Hau's requests. having given her daughter a considerable dowery and arranged that she should inherit part of her fortune.
 When Hau married Lena Molitor six years ago she vas 25 years old, and Hau. a student, was 19. Their engagement, seemingly, was against Frau Molitor's wish. Immediately after their marriage the couple went to America and Hau attained a good position in Washington as a lawyer. Hau, his wife and their daughter, 3 years old. came to Germany last sum- mer to visit Frau Molitor. Mrs Hau and the child stayed several months at the Villa Molitor. Hau arrived there later via Constantinople. visi- tors to the villa observed that the best relationship existed between the Haus and Frau Molitor. A fortnight ago Hau left Baden to return to America and his relatives thougn. he was either on board ship or had al- ready arrived in the United States.

 NIT Hall left his home in overaIIS and jumper and applied for work ai the Smith farm In the sane attire. probably about three weeks ago. He says he can remember nothing about his wandeTiags.

GREEN TO BE GRADED.
Commissioners Consult With Superin.
 tendent Walker This Afternoon.

This afternoon Commissioner Dem nison of the board of works and Su- perintendent Walker of Hamilton park were looking over the green which is to be graded this fall or early next spring. MT Walker thinks 1t would be a good plan to plough up that section of the green which is to be filled in and dump various kinds of sand and rubbish there before the snow flies. When sufficient of such stuff had been used 1t could be cov- cred with a couple of feet of loam and everything would be in readiness to have the grass come up in the spring. Commissioner Dennison with Mir Walker and Is of the opinion that the work should be started inn mediately. Commissioner Finn was also heard expressing himself in fa- vor of the plan of starting work as soon as possible and the matter will be discussed at the meeting of the board of works next Tuesday eyen- ing. If the work is delayed until next spring, much money will have to be expended for loam and the green will have little or no grass un- til summer time.
 The plan of laying a concrete walk from the band stand on the green to the soldiers monument will in all probability be abandoned as this sug- gestion is not meeting with much .fa- vor. It Is the concensus of opinion that it would deprive the green of much of its beauty. The voting booth which has been the exposure of all eyes the past few weeks was torn down to-day. It is perhaps the last time that 1t will be erected on the green where 1t has been an eyesore each year. The city may purchase portable houses for It's next election. These can be erected the night be- fore election and taken down the day after they are used. They are not at all unsightly and their adoption would be appreciated.

BATTLE WITH BURGLARS
Three Policemen and Three Others Have Fierce Struggle With Two
 Cracksmen
WERE FINALLY CAPTURED

New York, Nov 9.-After a fierce struggle with three policemen and three other men two burglars who had entered the building and at tempted rob the safe of the American Baking company at 300 Hudson street, this city, early this morning. were captured. The prisoners gave their names as Patrick Mccarthy and John Nelson, both of this city. Mur- derous looking knives with six inch blades were found on them. They were detected by an employe in the ovens below.
 The safe, which contained about $500. was scratched about the lock, but had not been opened, and the cash register also resisted the burg ars' efforts.
