MURDER THEORY.
Mysterious Launch May
Figure in Bradley Case.
County Attorney and Sheriff Are
Helping Coroner Investigate.
No Signs Of Violence on Young Womas
Found In Belfast Bay Last Week.

Belfast, Mo July 29.-(SpeciaD.-
Coroner CoOmbs is now investigating a
line Of evidence in the Clara Braley
case that may lead to something def-
mite as regards the murder theory.
Several parties say they heard tins
putting Of a gasoline launch in the
harbor between the bridges shortly af-
ter 8 O'Clock Sunday night. The Rob-
bins place, where the girl boarded, is
about midway between the two bridges.
on the east side of the harbor, and very
near the shore. 1t was high tide that
night about IL o'clock. consequently
about half flood at Q o'clock. the time
when she left the house. At half tide
a small launch could run on the beach
not far from the Robbins house, and
the coming tide would obliterate all
traces of the boats keel upon the shore.
One party claims to have been cross
ing the bay in a launch short distance
below the lower bridge. and to have
seen launch, which they did not
recognize in the fog and darkness,
come down through the draw at great
speed and pass off down the harbor.
This launch, they say, contained man
and woman. This evidence if given
under oath at the inquest Monday will
complcate the case unless the launch
or its occupants can be identified.
The habits and reputation of the girl
render it highly improbable that she
voluntarily entered the launch with
anybody without first notifying her
uncle's family, and the condition of her
clothing. which was in perfect order
when the body was found together
with the fact that no marks of violence
were found on her person, would tend
10 dsprove the abduction theory. Coun-
ty Attorney B. F. Foster and Sheriff
Carleton assisting Mr.. Coombs in his
investigation.
Another rumor on which little reli-
ance is placed, involves a young man
who lives near the Robbins
house 1t is said that he
has tiled for some time to get acquaint-
ed with the Braley girl, hut that she
has not given him any encouragement.
and that he was about the place Sum
day night. When called on at his
house about IL o'clock that night to
join in the search he refused. and next
morning packed some clothing and left
town. His family say he was in the
house at o'clock and did not go out
again that night. and that he had a
job in nearby town, for which he left
Monday morning. This is also being
investigated by the officers.

 SqueIched by Sullivan.
 Alderman Sullivan. one of the strNlg- est opponents of the Police Board. then claimed the floor. He wanted to know, he said. why the Council should dis cuss the question of a Board of Police Commissioners at all. He did not know City Attorney for an opinion on the subject He did not know that the Council was even interested In the matter. He had never heard 1t brought up at any previous meeting. Why should they, he asked. merely because the Mayor had seen fit to inform the Council of the legal aspect of certain question, why should they, free Amer ican citizens, take any action on these grounds. He moved the letter be filed, and his motion was passed.
 For q few minutes tho question of the Police Board was permitted to drop. It looked as though the matter had been disposed of for the evening, and a number of the Aldermen asked permis- sion to withdraw.
 Alderman Roemer. however. threw 2 bomb into the camp of the Alderman from the Sixth Ward when he arose

A vote was called for and resulted in the support of the chair by a vote of to 3. Those who voted to go Into executive session were Aldermen Foster, Lobman and Roemer, while those who upheld the action of the chair were Aldermen Gunter, Cox, Griffith. Hudson, Jones. Ryan, Sullivan and Tait.
 But the question was not to be downed. Five minutes later Alderman Ryan introduced an ordinance calling for the election of a board of five Po- lice Commissioners. and moved to have IL referred to the Committee of Police and Judiciary The motion was passed and In this shape remained when the Council adjourned.

For the ten months ending July g1st, the Treasurer of the state or Alabama, received from all sources S3611,573. S3, an increase over the re. ceipas for corresponding months or last year of $25s,036. 14. The receipts for the ten months last year were $S,- 353.537 .89.
 These figures, compiled at the State Capitol yesterday, show the enormous growth of industrial Alabama, and the wise management of the affairs or the State.
