ONE OF WoMAN's LOVERS.
Paris Police Say They Have Clue tt
 His Identity,

Paris, Nov. oV.~-Discoveries made to day by the Paris police lead them t( declare that Mime. Steinheil had an ac complice in the murder of her bus band, Adolphe Steinheil, and her step mother, Mime. Japy.
 This accomplice, it is given out, was professional criminal who had gain ed share in the affections of Mime Steinheil. His identity is known, anG he is being sought all over France
 The police declare that the couple strangled the victims after administer ing narcotic or poison and that the accomplice afterward bound Mime Steinheil to her bed to give color tc her story, now confessedly false, that desperadoes came from outside and attacked her and the others.
 The body of the murdered portrait painter has been disinterred and re moved to the morgue, but the surgeons found, that 1t was in such a state of decomposition as to make it an impos sibility to perform complete autopsy
 They contented themselves with talk ing away the viscera for chemical anal ysis in order to discover if possible traces of poison. The glasses found al the time of the murder will also be examined.
 It is now learned that Mme. Stein hell was receiving the visits of another rich lover in addition to Maurice Bor. derel and that she had promised each of them that she would marry him in event of her becoming widowed or divorced
 Stories of Mime. Steinheils relations with persons notable in political and artistic circles are coming to light. She is now called ''the charmer of men, The man in whose eyes she said she wanted to justify herself is M. Borderel, who lives in a chateau near Meziers.
 He gave detailed account of his re- lations with Mime. Steinheil. He told how he had met her at a reception at . the Steinheils and fell under her in. fuence. He frequently met her at the Green lodge, villa at Bellevue, which Mime. Steinheil rented under the name of Mime. Provost.
 Mariette Wolff, the cook whose son was accused by Mime. Steinheil of hay ing committed the murders, lived at the lodge and was the confidante of her mistress.
 For month it was an exquisite hyl,' said NJ. Bordsrel, Mine. Stein hell said she adored me, and at each meeting she made new avowals and swore I was the only lover she had ever had. She told me of her past and denied this gossip of her rela- tions with other men.
 She insisted particularly that the Faure story was legend and said she could prove that she was home i'll at the time of M. Faure's death. She admitted, however. that she hated her husband and said he led an infamous existence She detested her mother also for having forced her to marry Steinheil"

By w. j. SIaffery

When the Angels went against the
Commuters at the Valencia street lot
yesterday afternoon they discovered to
their dismay that the going was not
quite so soft as IL was on Tuesday.
They dreamed along for about eight
innings, tying up the score now and
then and stalling at a snail's pace
Not till the ninth did the Angels
awaken from their little beauty sleep.
Then they came around just in time

II was TO when Van came up
in the ninth and waited patiently till
Heine HeitmUller did his duty with
sacrifice and after Truck Eagan had
been disposed Of Hogan dumped
twister down to the pitchers box that
was just too awkward TO handle, and
during the tumult that followed Van
came home and it was over.
There was but little class to the
game. Both Hardy and Koestner
worked slowly and the men behind
them did not seem to care. Both
teams tossed away chance after

Oakland broke In first during the
third round. After Smith walked. Van
advanced him on an infield out and

and Hogan followed with safe ones,
but as two Were down, nobody was
strong enough TO produce the other

The Angels did a good job of it in
the sixth, and went for two. Koest-
ner hit, Oaks walked and Wheeler land
ed on Altmans boot. making it a full
house with no dead ones. II looked
as though the Angels would be scor-
ing yet, but they fell down woefully.
Nagle forced Koestner at the pan and
Brashear hit over second, scoring
Oskes and Wheeler. There was but
one out. but a moment later Nagle
was caught posing off second, so the
chance was Grabbed.
= Oakland was there again in its half
Of the same spasm and took the lead
again. Altman and Cook started it

Brashear booted Vans easy hit, but

indications were for extra innings till
