sentenced by the criminal court to
three years Imprisonment and to the
loss of his civil rights for years after
his release, and to perpetual police
supervision, as well as to pay a fine of
5000. Schiemangk was convicted of
wholesale marriage swindles by means
of an advertisement whereby he sue
ceeded in obtaining considerable sums
of money from women.
Schiemangk was born in Germany,
but served in the First artillery, U. S.
A. He was promoted to a non-com-

He is an accomplished linguist and
represented himself as Count Maximil-
liam de Passy. He asserted that he

BY the display of fraudulent bills and

The evidence in the courts showed
that the man had already served two
terms in the penitentiary, where he
made the acquaintance of notorious
criminal, Amandus Hoppe, who as
sisted him in carrying out his schemes.
The latter was sentenced to six
months in prison as an accomplish.

RAISE URGED
BY CHIEF OF
ARMY STAFF
GENERAL BELL APPEALS FOR
HIGHER SALARIES
on Military Affairs Contains Four
Distinct Features for
Consideration
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-General
Bell, chief of staff, United States army,
today recommended in person to the
house committee on military affairs an
increased pay schedule for enlisted men
of the army, along the lines laid down
in the DickCapron bill, but differing
somewhat in scale.
His recommendation contained four
distinct features: Creation of the grade
of warrant officer, for the promotion of
deserving on-commisSioned officers;
readjustment of initial rates of pay SO
that they shall range from $15 to $42, as
against the range of from SIG to $40 in
the navy; cash bonus of three months
pay for re-enlistment and an increase
of from 81 to SO in pay for high attain
ment in craftsmanship.
The corresponding increase in the
navy is from 81 to $40.
1t was estimated by General Bell that
if these schedules are adopted the aver
age increase IN pay of enlisted men
will be 1873 per cent making the aver
age monthly pay $23.64 in the army,
as against 1913 in the navy.
In conclusion he said:
Il cannot too strongly urge the adop-
ton of this schedule in its four essen
tial features.
IF any one of these four features is
omitted the whole plan will be very
much weakened, and the benefit to the
service materially decreased"
General Bell recommended increases
of pay for regular army officers as sug-
gested in the Hayward plan.

Chain of crcumstantiaI Evidence Is
Alleged to Be Tightening About
Grass Valley Woodchopper
Now in Jail

By Associated Press.
GRASS VALLEY. Cal, Feb. 13.-
Link by link the chain of circumstan-
tial evidence tightens about aged
Thomas NFeeney, accused of attempted
assassination of Mark Stuart recently.
and believed to be the mysterious muir
derer of Dead Mans Flat and Ken
lucky Ridge, who has killed three men
in cold blood in the last two years.
Feeney was captured as he was MAX
ing his way out of the county, having
fled from his cabin at the approach of
Sheriff Walker. His arrest and the
evidence against him stirred this Sec
ton as has nothing before in years.
The sheriff has found that Feeney
purchased cartridges few days be-
fore Stuart's life was attempted. Wads
from the charge fired at Stuart con-
tain the same makers name as the
remainder of the box found in Feeney's
cabin.
The shot are the same size. The foot
prints of the would-be murderer in
soft ground near the window of Stu
arts cabin, through which shot was
fired. fit Feeney's shoes exactly. even
to the peculiar arrangements of nails
in the soles.
The old man admits stealing gun
and burglarizing a cabin, but stolidly
denies the shooting. Feeney was
wood chopper and prospector. He lived
the life of a hermit.

YOUTH SLAIN
BY ENEMIES
SAY POLICE
BODY FOUND WITH BULLET
HOLES IN HEAD
Unidentified Young Man Discovered
Lying Near Railroad Tracks and
Detectives Think He Was
Murdered for Money

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. -13.--With
two bullet holes in the skull and an
ugly cash on the right side of the head,
the body of an unidentified young man
was found lying near the siding known
as hex, a short distance from the
Needles, this morning.
Railroad detectives who investigated
are confident the young man was muir
dered for money or valuable papers he
carried.
The body had evidently pitched, or
been thrown, from the westbound over
land, and it is believed here the young
man was passenger on that train and
that he had been killed While standing
on the rea- platform.
His clothing was searched, but no
articles which would give any clew to
the identity of the dead man were
found
The texture of the clothing shows
that the owner was a man of wealth,
and the condition of the hands proves
the young man was unaccustomed to
hard work of any description.
The body was found about twelve
feet from the rails. and was lying face
downward, the rents in the clothing
showing it had slid several feet.
The man who discovered the body
ir..mediat -ly notified the railroad Off
Gals and the town authorities, and de-
tectives were detailed on the case. The
conductor OF the overland has been
communicated with by the police, but
up to a late hour tonight no word has
been received from him.
Several of those who saw the body
say they. believe the young man may
have committed cuicide. but this the
ory is secuted by the police.
According to physicians who exam
ined the body either of the bullet
wounds in the head would have caused
instant death, and this fact is pointed
to as one of the reasons to suspect
murder.

Terrible Tragedy-Finsers shorn

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
LONDON, Aug. 24.-The wife of
Major General Charles Edward Luard
was mysteriously murdered this after
noon in a desolate wood near Seven
Oaks, which is a short distance out
side Of London. No trace of the MUIR
derer has been found, but the motive
appears to have been robbery, valuable
rings having been taken from the
woman's fingers.
The circumstances surrounding the
tragedy are inexplicable.
The general and his wife were about
to go on a holiday, and the general
suggested that they walk from their
residence at Ightham Knoll, short
distance to the golf links, to fetch some
things which they needed from the
club house. They started at p. m,
making a short cut through a wood
belonging to a neighbor, which the
general had the privilege Of using.
Half way along Mrs. Luard, becoming
tired. determined to allow her husband
to proceed alone. she declaring her in
tention to return home.
The general proceeded to club
house, and having collected the things
which he went after returned to his
residence by another route. Finding
that his wife had not reached home he
set out in search of her, and was hor-
rified to find her lying face downward
in pool of blood near the spot where
he had shortly before left her in the
wood.
Some of the accounts say that the
body was lying on the '-'eony Of Va
summer house used for picnics, while
other reports say that it was lying be-
hind the summer house. AS the general
approached the spot his wife's fayorite
terrier rushed to meet him and then
returned, mounting guard over his dead
mistress body.
Mrs. Luard had been shot with a re-
volver.
