uncertain terms that he had given
his approval to the absorption of the
Tennessee Coal and Iron company by
the United States Steel corporation

General Bonaparte- not to prosecute
the steel company. The president
concludes his message with the state
ment that he does not conceive it to-
be within the authority of the senate

The message is in response to a
bertson calling on the attorney gem
eral to state whether he had brought.
an action against the steel company
because of its acquisition of the Ten
nessee concern, and if not, the rear
son for nonaction. While the resofu-
ton was not directed to President.
Roosevelt, his attention was called to
II ny AIIOEu0y GSUSTdl bOudpdfJGrr
who, after quoting the requirements
Of the resolution, said: AS you are
aware, no such proceedings have
been instituted
The president assigns as the rea-
son for his instructions to the attor-
ney general the fact that he had posi-
tive Information that unless the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company was
Immediately absorbed by the steel
corporation a large New York bust
ness firm, which held among its as
sets majority of the securities OF
the Tennessee company, would be-
forced into bankruptcy. He also
stated that he had been informed by
Judge Gary and Mr.. Prick that they
did not desire to acquire the Tennes+
see business, as it was against tne
steel corporations policy to absorb
more Industries, but that they were
willing to take it over to prevent
widespread panic in the business and

FIND BODY IN
CHURCH STOVE
Michigan Minister Victims of Muir
derers-Cut Corpse to
Pieces.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. z. - The dis
membered body of Rev. ]. H. Car
michael. a Methodist minister, was
found partly consumed by fire in the
two heating stoves of one of his three
churches near Columbus, in the
southwestern part of st. Clair county
Investigation was begun at once to
clear away a temporary uncertainty
as to the identity of the victim and
to obtain clews regarding the muir
derer and the motive for the crime
Identification of the dead clergyman
was soon effected by Orville Lind
say, who was sent to the church for
that purpose by Mrs. Carmichael,
who had been in great distress since
her husband failed to return home,
and who surmised that the minister
was the victim as soon as Sic heard
the report that some one had been
murdered in the Columbus church.
But clews of the murderer and his
motive were more difficult to obtain
There was a rumor that a strange
man had left a train at Hickey and
had been directed to the Columbus
church, and there were other rumors
indicating that two men were impli-
several coins were found in the cloth
ing of the dead man and in the ashes
in the stoves precluded the theory of
robbery, and at the time of his death
it was mot known that the murdered
minister had an enemy in the world.
Myron Brown, who lives near the
scene of the tragedy, was the first to
discover the crime. While he was
waiting at the crossroads to keep an
appointment the cold wind drove him
to seek shelter in the church. He
was surprised to find the church
doors unlocked, and upon opening
them was terrified to see the church
floor, the pews and even the commu-
Mon table daubed with blood and
fragments of bloody clothing scat
tered all around
The authorities on their arrival at
the cnurcn FOUND parts or tile /dlS-
membered body in the two stoves,
located respectively at the front and
rear, and discovered in one stove the
head Of what was apparently a new
Ratchet, the handle of which had
been burned off. A dirk was also
found in the church, and it is believ-
ed that the dirk served for the MUIR
der while the Ratchet was used to cut
the body to pieces. The minister's
horse was found tied to a tree in the
village of Pine River, the dead
preachers overcoat being discovered
in the buggy. Pine River is a small
village near Thornton, on the main
line of the Grand Trunk railroad, and
fully 20 miles from the scene OF the
crime.

EXAMINATION CONTINUES
District Attorney Darrin Has Hams
on Rack Today.

Flushing, N. Y, Jan. Few new
facts were brought out by District
Attorney Darrin in his cross-examina-
ton of Thornton ]. Hams, which was
resumed when court convened today.
The witness testified that because
of the admonitions of his parents he
kept his brother under constant sur
veillance, fearing he might do some
insane thing. District Attorney OAR
rim, by ingenious interrogations, led
and drove by turns the defendant to
admit that when Annis' boat was
nearing the float he told Captain
Hams that he was going home, and
left the army officer standing ON the
dock showing every evidence of men
tai disturbance. Hams said he had
walked about 80 or 40 feet toward
the clubhouse and when he turned
around Captain Hams had disap-
peared. The shooting followed with
in a few seconds on the float below
the dock.

noise outside. His door was closed
and very little smoke had gotten in

He said just as he landed on the
ground he heard some one fall behind
him and upon looking behind he saw

and started for Albion, to hear the
championship debate. Those taking
the trip were Juy Robertson, William

yer.
Leaving Caldwell about S O'Clock,
the party arrived at Mountain Home

hours rest, they again started, arriv-
ing at Glenn's Ferry for breakfast.
There the party had the misfortune to
meet the ferryman, who advised to
cross his ferry, which he said would
save them Is miles Of travel and give
them the best road in the country.
They followed his advice, which kept
them from reaching Albion that even
ing. The ferryman, who had been
freighting on that road and had never
been blind. They wouldn't have found
worse road in the state. Although
the driver took his machine over al
most impossible roads in an incredi-
bly, short time, yet the party was de-
layed so long that when the river was
reached it was found impossible to
reach Albion that night. The party
then, took their time, seeing the coun-
try and getting acquainted with the
people. They took in the King Hill
project, also seeing the Thousand
Springs, and the Salmon Falls. They
returned home by way OF Boise, arriv-
ing in Caldwell Wednesday afternoon.
The boys all had most enjoyable
trip, although they didn't quite reach
Albion, yet it was through no fault of
the machine or the driver, who did his
best to put them through, which he
would have done, had 1t not been for
the ferryman, who needed the money.
