Twin Brothers Are Believed to
 Be Mixed Up In Case
MORE FACTS BROUGHT OUT
Police Believe the Murdered Woman Found In New York Was Lured From California for Pur-
 pose of Robbery.

New York, December 12.-(Special.) IA new shroud of mystery was thrown about the murder of the woman whose body was discovered in fiat at No. 3S7 East Eleventh street, when it was learned by the police today that two men had made their abode in the same apartments each of whom so closely resembled the other that 1t Is believed they were twins
 The question, accordingly, which so far baked the detectives on the case is which brother committed the murder. In their efforts to identify the slayer Captain Carey and his men again made search ing investigation of the fiat which had been found in utter disorder at the time of the discovery of the body. The blood prints on the picture frames, out of which the murderer had torn photographs Of the woman, were carried to police head quarters to be compared with records there. Copies of the flesh lines were also made for the detectives who are search ing the resorts in Mulberry street, where the men companions of the unfortunate woman were said to have had their rendezvous.
 
 of the detective bureau that one of the men last seen at the flat had lured their victim from California to rob her of her jewels. Neighbors say that only 8 few days before her death she had exhibited diamonds and rings estimated to be worth 5000.
 When the woman first moved in said Mrs. Smiler, the jainitress, "she said that she and her husband had come to New York from Santa Clara, Cal. She only spoke to me of one man. Now I learn that there were two who came and went but they looked so much alike that they were mistaken for one man."
 The jewelry which the woman showed the janitress consisted of diamond ear rings, a diamond brooch and several rings.
 On finding receipted bill for the pur- chase of jewelry from Bresavsby Broth CTS in Maiden Lane, the police endeav- cred to run down the identity of the vic tim with this clue. But the jewelry deal CTS could not recall who it was that had bought the gems. The receipt did not bear the name of the purchaser.
 Flora" was the name by which the woman was known in the neighborhood where she lived Among others who viewed the remains was Dr. Bellontoni of No 3n Broome street bottle had been found in the flat bearing & labed upon which was written the doc tors name but the physician could not recall that he had ever seen the wom- before.
 Captain Carey, wEo has charge of the investigation, said today:
 For the reason that this woman has been dead for perhaps two weeks before the janitress became suspicious and we broke in, the unraveling of the mystery has been made especially difficult The man or men who committed the crime have had time to reach Europe safely

President Is Getting Ready to Fire More Heavy Guns
 At Congress
SECRET SERVICE CHIEF
 AIDS THE EXECUTIVE
Bundle of Documents Is Taken to the White House With Reference to Recent spat With Congress
 on Secret Service.

Washington, December 12.-(special.)- Chief Wilkie of the secret service made a spectacular entry into the White House executive offices this evening bearing a formidable bundle of documents. This visit of the chief bore directly on the agitation of the House toward the so- called Investigation of the President in the seereta service affair
 In the. vernacular of the secret ser vice each 'bundle'' is called The ashes of the last man to oe investigated" The President. it is understood, has amassed many folio volumes of interesting stories about congressman in their relations to their industries at home, the "politicaI avy yards of the country, and the gen eral subject of allotment of public lands and more especially the acquisition of mineral and oil lands.
 The opinion is growing hourly that If the President should fad 1t necessary to insist on his message remaining as part of the records and Congress should think well of the notion to "expunge, he will hurl special message at his critical House and accompany 1t with the extracts from these secret service records and other department records to dslnoi strata the business of his first impressions. The impression that the President Is l1oaded to the guards already has given the House agitators a distinct notion that there Is no use to be in hurry in this proceedings.
 "Go slow ts in fact the watchword that has been adopted by the cooler heads in hcth branches of songross ss.4. s,, 1 gard to the movement inaugnrataa in the House yesterday to rebul5e the Presi- dent for his slap at the House. The Perkins' committee appointed under the House resolution of Saturday Is ex- pected to meet on Monday but it will not make any report until possibly just before Christmas holidays and maybe not until January.
 Meanwhile the Presidents enemies are looking Senateward. There is reason to believe that some sort of resolution may be introduced in the Senate on Moz day, though this is by no means certain. There is widespread belief in the Sen ate that after all it was the House that was slapped and not the Senate and that there is little reason why that dignified body should help to pull chestnuts out of the fire for the populard branch
 One of the peculiar and significant fea- lures of the situation is. that none of the leaders, or for that matter, any of the more prominent members of either body. Is taking any part, publicly or private ly, in this movement to hit at the Pres ident.
 Many members of Congress called upon the President during the day, but no one admitted the visits were in reference to the secret service incident. One visitor said the Presidnt joked with him about the matter.

AUSTRIA'S VIEWS
 MORE MODERATE

Vienna, December 12.-Anustria's decis- ion to ask Turkey to res negotiations concerning Bosnia and Her zegovina, which were interrupted by the boycott against Austrian goods, has created favorable impression in Austria, except in political circles. where the feeling prevails that the dual monarchy diplomats will meet defeat. Rumors of Baron Won Aehren- thals early resignation are growing, but it is believed that the retirement sof the foreign, minister Will not occur until after the preparations for the interna- tional congress and the work looking to inc peaceful solution of the present diff faculties have been concluded. It is un- derstood that Austria's concessions to the Porte include the handing over of the pos tal rights and consular jurisdiction to the Turkish government and the aband- onment of the demand of indemnity be- cause of the boycott.
 Other reported concessions such as autonomy for Bosnia and Herzegovina and territorial compensation to Servia and Montenegro are denied.

They Object to Putting Philippine
 Sugar on Free List.

Havana. December 12-Any action of the ways and means committee of the United States Congress looking to the placing of 3OoOO0 tons of Filipino sugar on the free list would be regarded with grave apprehension by Cubans identified with the sugar industry. The La Lucnad adjures Cuban politicians to unite with the planters in their efforts to secure concessions so that continued Cuban con- petition in the markets of the United States may be possible.
 The discussion says that this measure would only be a preliminary step to- ward free trade with the Philippines. which would untilmatey result in the extinction of Cuba as a factor in the sugar supply of the United States.

Z The Devils Lake high school foot.

meet the fast high school team of that
city on the gridiron that afternoon.
There will be about fifteen players
from this city make the trip and let
us hope that they Will come home with
a victory. The Grand Forks team is
one OF the strongest In the state and
defeated the Devils Lake boys last
year, but they will find that they
have hard proposition on their hands
this year, as the number of warriors
and the strength of the high school
team here has not been tested yet,
but 1T is a great deal stronger than
last year, and they will put up the
struggle of the year in trying to de-
feat the Grand Forks boys. The boys
are working hard every day and are
getting their signals down to fine
point and when the Grand Forks team
meet the team on the 10th they will
know that they have been up against
a, stronger team than they were last
year and will probably not meet
many teams this year that will give
them a harder fought game.
