Financial Measures Are Giving Sena-

Washington, January 4.-Senator
Aldrich chairman of the Senate com
mittee on finance, returned to this city
today and became Immediately occupied
in the gath ering of facts to be utilized
in the preparation of a financial bill
which probably will be completed by
the middle of the month. He says that
he has not yet formulated bill and
he pronounces as incorrect the state
ments that have been printed purport-
ing to represent the character of the
measure which he, together with other
republican senators, will bring to tn
attention of the finance committee, and
the Senate.
The committee on finance will hold
a meeting next Tuesday, but its pro-
ceedings will be devoted largely to q
general exchange of views as to the
character of the measure to be intro
duced. The figures called for by the
resolution and by the Senate before the
h olidays have not yet been received
and the committee is indisposed to pro-

lieved this resolution will develop.

MAZE OF CONTRADICTIONS.
Police Believe They Are Nearing Solu.
tion of the Mystery.

Newark, N. j., January 4.--Now that
the identity of the Lamp Black Swamp"
murder victim has been definitely es-
tablished the police are hopeful that a
complete solution of the myster may be
reached. Up to yesterday the case was
q hopeless maze of contradictory theories
and false ideas. Even when the first
suggestion came that the body might be
that of Mrs. Helena Whitmore of Brook
lyn, the police were skeptical. When
the woman's husband said he was unable
to make a positive identification, the po-
lice felt that another hope had been
dashed. few hours later, however, the
body was positively recognized as that
of Mrs Whitmore and today her husband
is a prisoner. He is held, ostensibly as a
witness, but the police are making a
careful investigation of his movements
since Christmas day, a few hours before
the body of his wife was found.
Whitmore has admitted that he quar-
relied with his wife shortly before she
disappeared from home because of at
tentions which she accepted from another
man.
He insists, however. that he did not
leave Brooklyn on Christmas day. and
that he was confined to his home for
about four days following by illness. Sew
eral other men, including Thompson and
Kirkman, who lived on houseboat near
the place where the body was found and
who were taken into custody Immediate
" after the crime came to light are
still detained by the police.

BADLY SCARED
Report Comes That Nitro GIy-

ALL FEAR AN EXPLOSION
Martial Law Has Been Declared In the
Town and With Over 500 Soldiers
On Hand Peace Is Fully
Restored.

Muncie Ind, January 4.-(Special 1.-The
greatese excitement spread throughout
this city this evening when following the
proclamation of martial law by Cover
nor Hanly in order that strike disturb

military officers In command to the ef-
feet that a magazine of the DUPONT
Powder company on the Lake Erie and
Western road between this city and Port
land had been robbed of 800 quarts of
nitro glycerine and that there were in
dcations that the explosive had been
brought to this city. This information
caused a mild panic among the citi-
zens.
Investigation of the report was begun at
once and the situation will be probed to
the bottom as it is realized that 800 quarts
Of high explosive would be dangerous
in the hands of the rioters.
Following executive action last night
when 500 state troops were sent to
Muncie to quell the street car strike riots
there Governor Hanly at noon today is

law throughout the city of Muncie and
throughout adjacent territory within a
distance of four miles from the court

of the local authorities to quell the riots
and declares the city and its immediate
environments to be in a state of riot
and insurrection.
In his communication to General Mckee

DIAMOND RINGS ARE FOUND
SaIoonkeeper, Who Is a Friend of
Whitmore, Had Bex In Which
Were Mrs. Whitmore's
Rings and Silverware.

New York, January Especial. )-Four
diamond rings, which Theodore Whitmore
says were worn by his wife, the victim
of the Harrison swamp murder, when he
saw her last on Christmas afternoon,
have been located in the possession of
saloonkeeper, Harry Radin, of Brooklyn,
where Whitmore left them as security
for a loan.
Whitmore was a frequent visitor of the
place and Radin says that Whitmore
brought the jewelry and some silverware
to him on either December 30 or 81. Radin
says Whitmore said he was going away
and wanted the property kept safely
until he returned.
For four hours today Whitmore was ex-
amned by Acting County Prosecutor
Vickers.
Whitmore stuck to the story he told
the police in the main, but involved him.
self in many contradictions as to his
movements following the murder and
about his wife's jewelry.
Mr.. vickers had received word from
Acting Police Captain Kuhn in Brooklyn
about the discovery of the jewelry and

simply wept as If nervous and worried.
Whitmore was also confronted by Peter
Coogan the night watchman who saw a
man and woman pass the factory on First
street on the night of the murder and
later saw the man return alone. Coogal
could not identify Whitmore as the man.
He said the man he saw with the woman
had a moustache and was shorter and
more stockily built than Whitmore.
Letter To Radin.
During the afternoon Whitmore sent a
letter to Harry Radin. 1t read:
MY Dear Harry-I am in d great deal
of trouble. This dead woman over in
Harrison is my wife and l am locked up
Now, what l want you to do Is to sc
down to the house in Adams street where
we lived and sell out everything in it.
You can have any kind of a sale you like
Don't sell the piano nor the mattress and

What l want you to do particularly Is
to take my clothes to the laundry in

find a valise in, the basement with some
of my clothes in it. Please send them to
me In police headquarters in Harrison
1t will be a great favor to me If you
can do this and please let me know about
it right away"
This letter was coniiscated by Prosecu-
tor Vickers, who was little suspicious
about the clothes which Whitmore want

name of Mrs. Whitmore, although they
are not in her handwriting. At the time
they were written Mrs. Wnitmore lay

MOVERS CASE Is DISMISSED

Boise Idaho, January 4.-The end of
the prosecution of the men charged
with the murder of Former Governor
Frank steunenberg, with the exception
OF the cases of Harry Orchard and Jack
Simpkins came today with the acuuit-
tai of George A. Pettibone. Charles HI.
Meyer, president of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, who was also indicted
with Haywood, Fettibone and others.
was released this afternoon and will re-
turn with Pettibone in few days to
Denver.
The case of Orchard, the self con-
| fessed assassin of Steunenberg. is ir
the hands OF Prosecuting Attorney VAN
duyn of Canyon county. No statement
as to the further procedure in that
case has been made, but it will be
called during the next term of court at
Caldwell when 1t will probably be
finally disposed of.
Simpkins, another member of the
executive board of the Western Fedora
tion who is charged with completely
in the crime, is fugitive from justice
an dthe charge against him will stand.
When the Meyer case was called By
Judge Wood this afternoon, James II.
Hawley, representing Prosecuting At
.torney Vanduyn, signified the desire of
the state to have an order of dismissal
entered.
Judge Wood Satisfied.
Il am satisfied" said Judge Wood,
that the course taken by the district
attorney and decided upon by attorneys
for the state is the proper course to be
taken in the matter.
II have watched the evidence care
fully, so far as the connecting and cor
roborating evidence under the statute
was concerned in it's application to this
defendant and there has certainly moth
ing developed in the two cases that
would justify the court in pushing the
case against him unless there was con-
siderable additional connecting tcsti-
mony to that shown In the two cases
that have been tried, and for that rea-
son, the case will be dismissed and an
order generating the bail of the de-
PENDANT"
At the request of the state the cases
against DIR. Magee and c. w. Aller,
charging perjury by reason of the tes-
timony given by them in the Hay
wood case were also dismissed. AL
though the Pettibone Jurors testified
that their deliberations should be kept
secret, it has been learned that on the
first ballot the vote was 8 to 4, the
majority being for acquittal. The sec
ond ballot resulted In a vote of TO 8.
The third stood 10 to 2. and so it re-
NAMED all through the night.
The two holding out for a conviction
We're finally won over.
Pettibone and Meyer received many
kilograms of congratulations, chiefly
from Colorado friends.
Pettibone, although very i'll for the
past two weeks, walked to the local
headquarters of the Western Fedora
tion this afternoon.
