with perhaps a remittance or roat
tax to encourage its adoption? The

of the man seen near the Steffeldt farm.
The victim today was Marie Tuck.

the simple ritual Of the Methodist

ly to the residence Of Justice Day for

and Secretaries Wilson and Root occu-
pied seats In the parlor, Relatives and
friends were seated in the hall and an
room. While the services
were being conducted by the Rev, Bux'

places Of amusement in the city and

lined the way.

We're over, the Presidential party re-

The local police and secret service men
from Washington were in constant
watch during the Presidents stay, but
no trace was found OF Czolgosz nor any
any anarchist, although all strangers
