No Material Change In Condition OF
Mrs. Mckinley.

Canton, o.. May 24.-In her fight for
life, Mrs. Mckinley today has held her
own. So far as the attending physi-
clan, DIR. o. E. Portmann. and his ad-
wiser, Surgeon General Rixey, could
determine at s o'clock tonight, when a
bulletin was issued, there has been no
material change in her condition dur
ing the day.
This means, as DIR. Portmann ex-
presses it "she may live for several
days or even for month" The ply
sicianS agree that no one can tell Whcn
a turn for the better or for the worse
may set in. She continues in coma

Third Degree Proves Too
Much for Becker.
ConfeSSes Witnessing Assault
on Long Island Girl.
Says He Ran Away and Companion
Committed Murder.

New York, May 24.-Confronted to-
night with the corpse Of Amelia STAFF
feldt, Henry Becker broke down, ac-
cording to the police, and confessed
that he had witnessed the assault that
invited the murder of the 15-year- old
EImhurst girl
The crime was done by companion,
said the prisoner, who asserted his own
innocence.
Eccker's admission followed a third
degree" ordeal that proved his undo
ing. He had been taken to the under
taking rooms where the body has lain
since it was found in a little frequent
cd field adjoining the home of the girls
father. There he was ordered to first
look upon the body and then place his
right hand upon the cold forehead.
I'eckcr shudderingly obeytd and the
next moment collapsed.
Dragged to his feet and supported on
either side by Il detective, the prisoner
was ASKED:
Did yOu kill tEc girl"
His reply, according to the captOrs,
WITS:
''Oh, my God, I didn't do if, but the
man who was with me did il. He killed
tn" girl, and | ran down to the woods =
Detective Graham said that after the
prisoner had become calmer he said
that he witnessed the attack on the
girl and that he was frightened and
ran away. He insisted that he did not
see the assaildnt stab his victim and
that ne did not see a knife in the mans
hands He declared that the man af-
tcrward joined him in the woods TO
which he had fled and that they went
together to the farm of Mrs. Emily
Simonson, where they both washed
their hands at the pump in the yard.
He could give no information as to
the identity of the murderer. After he
had made his statement. Becker was
taken to the Queens county Jail in Long
Island City.
The police are not wholly satisfied
with Beckcr's story. but will bend their
energies to finding his companions, as
they are convinced that two men were
either directly or indirectly concerned
in the crime.

There is a form of catarrh especially
prevalent in spring and summer, called
by DR.. Hartman systemic catarrh.
This form of catarrh especially de-
ranges the stomach, bowels and other
organs of the abdomen. The whole
mucous tract lining the stomach, liver,
bowels and kidneys is in an lntiamed
condition, and these organs fail 10 per-
form their proper function.
Systemic catarrh may be or may not
be accompanied by catarrh in other
parts of the body. In some cases there
is hacking cough. / may be also as
sociated with catarrh in the head.
But, in typical cases of systemic ca
tarrh all the organs of the abdomen are
in q weakened and sluggish cordition.
Dyspepsia ard BiliousHess.
Sometimes it is called dyspepsia, at
other times biliousness, or the patient
may be suspected Of having kidney dis
ease or appendicitis.
Systemic catarrh presents symptoms
which resemble closely great many
different diseases.
