Millie Ellison, Who Was Found
Dying Amid Flames of Blaz-
ing Alcohol Was Murdered
for Her Money.
HAD A ROLL OF $500
IN A SATCHEL
Which Her Male Companion Took
With Him When He Made
His Escape.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Minneapolis, July 11-Robbery was
the motive for the murder of Millie
Ellison, who was found dying amid
the flames of blazing alcohol at the
National hotel yesterday afternoon. 1t
has been discovered by the police that
Miss Ellison had, lately sold out her
millinery business at Ellsworth, Wis,
and had come to the twin cities with
about $4,000. No such sum was found
in her room at the hotel and the fact
that her missing male companion who
registered as M. j. Wilson took her
sal 'hel with him shows where her
little fortune went. An investigation
at Ellsworth shows that Miss Ellison
had always borne good reputation.
Her family understood that she was
coming 10 Minneapolis to look up some
business opportunity but have no idea
as to the identity of the man who was
with her here. At her home it was
understood that she had been receiv-
ing some attentions from a railroad
conductor named Riggs who does not
answer the description of her Mime
apolis companion in any way. Miss
Ellison's parents reached Minneapolis
today.
The police are now looking for N.
NJ. Riggs, conductor of the Chicago,
st. Paul & Omaha railroad, from whom
they will seek full explanation of
his dealings with AIillie Ellison, the
victim of the National hotel murder.
He is known to have been Miss Eli
sons business adviser and there is
evidence tending to show that he is
the man who accompanied her to the
National Bank of Commerce yesterday
when she had draft cashed for
$2,741.

Monroe, La, July lin choosing
motormen for what is believed to be
the first municipality owned and built
street railway in the United States, for
the street railway of Monroe, Mayor
A. A. Forsythe last night said that the
first test for fitness for this position
will be total abstinence from all in
toxicating liquors. 1t is expected the
railway will begin operations in a
short time. A remarkable feature is
the fact that the roads construction
has not directly cost the taxpayers a
cent. all expenses being betrayed by
the revenues from the city's municipal
waterworks. electric light plant,
wharves and other municipality owned
public utilities.

Paris, July 11.-"I want to be /:
gufllOtined. They condemned me
to death and they shall execute me. {:
III have none of their parJi0nS. /:
There IL no reason for revision of
: my sentence. Paris has not seen
/: an execution in ten years and I'm {:
going to give them the sight free.o {:
This declaration was made by Pierre
Adam to the prison authorities and
lawyers, who were trying to persuade
him to appeal for communication of his
death sentence for murder. He has
resisted the persuasions persistently
for three weeks and clamors to have
his head chopped off, yet the authori-
ties do not comply with his wish. IIis
position is curious one AS the law
stands it prescribes that the executions
shall be public, but since the gui!lo-
tine was moved some years ago from
the notorious Place de la Roquette the
local officials everywhere have s,:c-
cessfully resisted the attempts to Sc
cure new site and the quillotine has
lain idle in shed, the officers of JUS
tice not venturing to offend any part
of the city by insisting upon it's erec-
ton. They have consequently per-
suaded every person condemned to
death to appeal for Communication,
which has been forthwith granted.
Adams unprecedented refusal
creates difficulty A public execu-
ton invariably leads to disgusting
carouse and misbehavior by the scum
of the city, and the establishment of
the guillotine anywhere without the
assent of the authorities representing
the respectable citizens would inevi-
tably arouse their anger. Hence the
reluctance to carry out the death SEN
tence.

 The most interesting and uncertain game of football in years takes place this afternoon at Princeton, N. J. Both Yale and her old rival, Princeton, are well prepared for the contest which means so much to their college and sup porters. Betting still favors Princeton, but Princeton money Is not easily, | found
 Thousands of Yale enthusiasts, many of them students, will leave on the early trains this morning for New York. Many students left last evening with the team at o'clock. The last train by which 1t is possible to reach Princeton in time for the game leaves this city at 9:S5 o'clock this morning. Special trains leave New York for Princeton every fifteen minutes between and Il o'clock.
 The Yale team this year is composed of one of the strongest and fastest set of men in years. They left here last evening, confident, but still not IDN6ItOHlIu6IlI.
 In Knox Yale has a fast, clever and 1 consistent line plunger. Tad Jones, the star quarterback, will be one of Yales main supports this afternoon. His skill in running the team, his quarterback runs, which always make good gains, and his running back of punts cannot be beaten. In Roome, Captain Morse and Veeder Yale has splendid backs. Roome and Veeder both are excellent punters. Forbes and Alcott are fast ends, and sure tacklers. As a whole the entire team is one that can hard ly be surpassed by any team in the country.
 The Princeton team is one of the best representative teams from that college in years, and is picked by some as a sure winner, The make up of the team will probably be the same as that at West Point, except that Captain Dillon will resume his place at guard. He has, however, been suffering from rheuma- tis1n and his condition is not what has been hoped for. Jim Cooney is on hand this year better than ever. He is a sure goal kicker Herring is Prineeton's general all round man. In the backfeld she has a peerless trio, Mccormick, RuloD-AIllIe and UarlaaN
