MYSTERY IN MURDER
Body Supposed to Be That Of Minister
May Be Another's Corpse Found
Stuffed in Stove in Michigan Church.

Detroit, Jan. with rumors of
sorts floating about the countryside to-
day near Columbus to the ownership
of the dismembered body found yester-
day afternoon stuffed In the Methodist
church stove, there is not one positive
development toward solving the mys-
terry which shrouds the crime. SusIi.
cion of the accuracy Of the identifica-
ton OF the body as Rev. John NJ. Car
michael developed today. Many people
living about the neighborhood ex-
pressed doubt that 1T is the minister.
But two men are missing from the
neignborhood They are Rev. Mr.. Car
michael and Gideon Browning. car
penter who lived near the minister and
for whom the officers have been
searching since the crime was uncov-
cred There had never been any ser
ious trouble between Browning and the
minister so far as known. In fact they
are reported to have been quite
friendly, frequently driving about to-
gether.
Tuesday afternoon Browning left the
Grand Trunk train at the nearby VIII
lage of Hickey and inquired the way
to the Methodist church in Columbus
township. He said to two different men
that he had an appointment there with
g man. C. O. Conat, a rural mail car
rier and Thomas Calvin walked part
way to the church with Browning to
make sure that he made no mistake in
the directions. They left him "a mile
from the little building. He has nos
been seen since. No reason Is known
why Carmichael should have gone to
the church unless he had an appoint
ment there.

REPORT TO RAP PRESIDENT.
Tawney, Smith and Sherley to Criticize
Message on Secret Service.


Washington. Jan THE special
committee considering the reference to
congress and the secret service in the
presidents annual message. Is to report
to the house on Friday. 1t is expected
that there will be considerable debate
on the report of the committee. which
will be represented to the house by
Representative Perkins of New York,
the chairman. Representatives Tawney
of Minnesota, Smith of Iowa, Fttzger-
aid of New York, and aSherley OF ken-
tucky who were referred to by the
president In his special message, fol-
lowing the action of the house, resent
the Objectionable portion of the presi-
dents message and will take the OPP
portunity to reply to the president.
Representative Griggs Of Georgia on
Monday moved that the special mes
sage Of the president be returned to
the chief executive, but withdrew his
motion on the advice of some of his
democratic colleagues. 1t is understood
that the report of the special commits
tee, however, will be a rebuke nearly as
severe as would have been the action
proposed by Mr.. Griggs. If 1T Is not
more so. 1t is said that the report of
the committee will recommend either
the refusal by the house to accept that
portion Of his annual message which,
1t is claimed, reflected on the house, or
will severely rebuke the president in
some manner.
THE suggestion that the committee
will report In favor of laying on the
table the Objectionable portion of the
message, as well as the special mes
sal,e which followed the action taken
by congress on the annual message, is
no. being given much consideration by
many members OF the house.

MANY FIRES IN CHICAGO.
Several Disasters Follow Cold Weather
Packing District Hit.

Chicago, Jan. IA spectacular Are
at the stock yards last night destroyed
the large fertilizing plant Of Darling &
Co.. and after burning large stores OF
chemicals, causing explosions and ins
juring a number Of firemen by a fall
ing wall caused a total loss of $780,
900. For over four hours every avail
able fireman in the city fought in be-
low zero weather to prevent the
spread of the flames thru the stock
yards district. The tenants of thirty
houses in the neighborhood were driven
into the streets and $50 employees of
the company in the building at the
time narrowly escaped. The fire is sup
posed to have started among the bone
dust in the drying room. Soon after
the arrival of the first firemen a gener-
al alarm was sent in. The fertilizing
plant of Swift & Co., at Forty second
street and Ashland avenue, just across
the street, appeared doomed and the
energies were directed toward saving
this and other buildings. An hour later
the walls of one Of the buildings fell,
causing injury to several fremen.

REscuERs LOST in FAR NORTH
Canadian Surveyors Find no Trace G
Party Sent on Mission.

Winnipeg. Man., Jan. IA party OF
Dominion government surveyors, Fl. d
Fry. b. Morrier and Frank Peters, all
OF Ottawa, who arrived here yesterday
from For. Churchill, Hudson Bay,
brought with them report of the dis
appearance of party which was sent
out by Major Moody of the mounted
police, in search of Inspector Peltier
and his party of Eskimos, who also
have apparently been lost.
A year ago, an officer named Cald-
we'll, from the geological department
at Ottawa, was sent out on survey
in the North country. He has not been
heard from since he left. In endeavor-
ing to find the missing man, Major
Moody sent out Inspector Peltier to
seek all possible information and make
the usual patrol. Inspector Peltier left
Chesterfield Inlet by boat in August to
travel to Fullerton. The crew, boat,
and Inspector Peltier have not been
heard of since, and it is believed that
they have been lost.

NEEDS POWER over WITNESSES

Roosevelt Asks Aid for Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Washington, Jan. THE full text OF
the presidents message regarding
changes in the Interstate commerce law
follows:
'.The recent decision of the supreme
court Of the United States in Harri-
man VS.. the interstate commerce COM
mission seems to render advisable fur
ther legislation in the way of amend
ments to the existing law which will
confer upon the Interstate commerce
commission, 80 far as the congress has
constitutional power to do so, the au-
thority claimed for it in the case re-
Gently decided against It by the SUI
preme court. Justice Day IN delivering
( che dissenting opinion. concurred In
By Justice Harlan and Justice Mcken-
ma, says in part:
s'The function of investigation
which congress has conferred upon the
Interstate commerce commission Is one
Of great Importance, and while, OF
{ course, IL can only be exercised within
the constitutional limitations which
protect the individual from unreason-
Able searches and Seizures and uncon-
stitutional invasions of liberty, the act
should not be construed so narrowly
rs to defeat Its purposes.
Apparently the language OF the act
Is such that there is danger lest the
last mentioned result will unavoidably
ensue upon the authoritative constr1c-
tion placed thereon by the supreme
court, and It is therefore obvious that
the congress should amend the act and
change the language so as explicitly 20
empower the commission to require by
subpoena the attendance and testi-
mony of witnesses and the production
d Of all books and papers relating to any
matter under investigation, and this by
virtue OF the powers conferred upon
the said commission by any section OF
the law under which It is acting, or OF
any act amendatory thereof. so as to
aid 1t in ascertaining facts upon which
can recommend any additional leg
islation in reference to the regulation
pf commerce that it may conceive to
he within the power of congress to en-
act.
.I further recommend that the COM
mittee be explicitly empowered by or
der to postpone the application Of any
Increase OF rates by any railroad pend
,ng examination by the said commis-
sion into said Increase to see whether
or not 1t is justified. The regulation II
the railroads should be put as COM
pletely as possible In the hands of the
commission, for it can only be rem
dered effective by being put complete

Of the national executive. the action Of
this branch to take effect Immediate
