Mr.. Hartman later said that no
plans Of financial relief other than
those already made have yet been
framed nor could any definite method
be arrived ~ until the people Of San
Francisco announced an acceptable
basis for further financial relief
The money scare created here by
the disaster was in Mr.. Hartman e
opinion, without warrant lie ad-
mitted that early advlces indicated
a greater strain upon eastern resour-
ces than had actually occurred.
Speaking Of existing financial con
ditions in San Francisco, Mr.. Harri-
man said THE banks are I'm good

there Is labor IN fact II Is the most
necessary thing throughout the state

lated, Found in the Cellar.
Geo. StanIey's Strange Talk and Action
Arouses Suspicion--.Under Arrest.

Windsor, n. S. Feb. 5.-Residents
aionS the line of the Dominion Atlantic
Railroad between Hartville and FL
lershouse We're Mortified this morning
at the news that Freeman Harvie, {.
well-known farmer of the section had
been found shockingiy murdered il
the cellar of his home, his head hav-
ing been severed, secreted in a bag
and the body half covered with pota-
toes.
Harvie was last seen on Friday
night. 1t is known that on that dan
George Stanley, an Englishman. calico
at the farm to discuss the question OF
its purchase. The discovery of the
dead mans body was made by neigh
bors, who knocking and getting no re-
sponse, forced an entrance. AT the
inquest on the body this afternoon
John Fisher said he left Harvie's
house on Friday night last. Stanley
was there then bargaining with Harvit
for the sale of the latter's farm
Ihat was the last seen of Harvie alive
An hour before Stanley came to the
Harvle house he borrowed a jackknift
FROM David Fisher, saying he had {
knife to do it with. Saturday morning
Stanley called at David Fishers home
quarter Of Il lnie from Harve's farm
and showed a roll of legal papers
deeds, etc, stating that he had com.
pletco the purchase of Harvies place
and engaged Fisher to go to work fol
MN for $4O0 q year and everything
found. Stanley told Fisher that Harvit
had gone to Halifax on the early trair
so as 10 procure a clear title for the
place. He also engaged Fishers son
James at $l.50 per day TO work on the
farm.
Eoth men went to Harvie's place, fed
TIC cattle and did some chores about
the house. Stanley remained at the
back door Of the house all the time and
did not let them enter that way. The
back door leads to the cellar. Stanley
gave Fisher the key of the front door
and the barn.
Later in the day Stanley sold Harvie's
furniture, organ and all the poultry On
Sunday there were many callers at Tho
house but none We're permitted to enter
the cellar. This action of Stanlcy's arous-
ed the suspicion of some of these pres
ent and today Anthony Akcr and Edgar
Mccarthy went to David Fisher and de
mandcd the key. He told them that
Stanley had taken it, and Mccarthy and
Aker then forced the door of Harvic's
house with an axe, and on entering the
cellar found the headless body partly hid.
den unGer heap of potatoes. A further
search revealed the head in j ba; hidden
under a bucket.
1t is supposed that Harvie was stabbed
to death in the kitchen, as the face Dor,
many knife wounds. The body was
thrown into the cellar and there the mur-
derer completed his work with an axe
The inquest was adjourned until Thurs
day.
After an all-day chase the police tonigh!
captured Stanley hiding in mill at Hart
vile. lie was brought to the Jail here.

toward the canal and that Sec. Taft
and Mr.. Cromwell had made a mistake
In sizing up his adaptabilities. He
thought that he had been placed in a
| secondary position so far as exercising
executive judgment was concerned, af-
ter Mr.. Shonts had been appointed as
head of the commission. He realized.
he said, that his position was such that
friction was bound to occur between
himself and Mr.. Shonts and himself
and Mr.. Cromwell
The inquiry was pursued by Senator
Morgan to determine what Mr.. Crom-
we'll had to do with it."
Mr.. Wallace then read from n pub-
lie letter issued by Sec. Taft saving
that Mr.. Cromwell, through designa-
ton of the President. had been act
ing IN an advisory capacity on all mat
ters relating to canal affairs Referring
to a visit made by Sec. Taft to the
1sthmus, Mr. Wallace said that Mr.,
Cromwell was a member of the party
and appeared to be acting as go
between in matters pending between
the Panama government and Sec. Taft,
Letters were read showing that Mr..
cromwell had brought about the ap-
polntment of Mr.. Wallace as president
or the Panama Railroad. A letter
from Admiral Walker which was put
into the record declared that Mr..
CromWelfS procedure was irregular.
When asked by Senator Morgan If he
nae protested when Mr. Cromwell had

was over the secretary got off a denun-

secretary's published statement con-
cerning my action.
Il asked the secretary if he took the
