COMMISSIONERS
COMPLETE WORK
Will Ask the City to Provide
Vault For Auditors
Records

The board OF county commissioners
completed their work Saturday even
in, and adjourned until February Is.
The work OF the session was OF a gen.
eral character, and contained but lit
tie Of interest to the public at large.
The board has been advised that
the new bridge across the St. Maries
river at Fernwood has been complet-
ed, and the members will In few
days inspect it, and II everything is
satisfactory, 1t will be accepted at the
next meeting.
This evening Chairman Trigg, and
Commissioner Busby will appear be-
fore the city council. and petition
that body for the installation Of a
vault for the auditors Office. The
auditors Office Is compelled at the
present to make use Of the vault of
the county treasurer, but this Is only
of sufficient size TO accommodate
that official, and most OF the records
Of the auditors Office still remain at
Rath drum. The two commissioners
will ask the council TO cut through
the partition between the auditors
Office and the stable OF the fire de-
partment. and install a vault two
stories In height. The board will fur
nish the doors for the concern. but
the city will be asked 10 furnish all
the rest of the material and construct
It. II is estimated that 1t will cost
in the neighborhood of $500. and

MURDER MYSTERY
STIRS SEATTLE
Husband, Wife and Daughter Dead
in Bath Room

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 1S.--AR
autopsy is being held this afternoon
over the remains of William Seeley.
the former national bank examiner,
his wife Kate, and daughter Rose,
who were found dead in front of a
bath tub in their home yesterday af-
ternoon. All when found were in
their night robes, and in a kneeling
attitude before the tub, and the marks
of blows were on the heads of the
women, but none were on the person
of Seeley. 1t is believed that the au-
topsy will show that Seeley killed his
wife and daughter, and then commit
ted suicide himself by taking chloro-
form. 1t has been learned that lately
he had been very much discouraged
over his financial affairs. and 1t is be-
heved that rather than see his family
reduced to poverty he preferred to see
them dead.
Seeley had been a resident Of the
city for two years. coming here from
st. Joseph, Mo Prior to taking up
residence there the family had lived
at Ottawa. Illinois While in this
state seeley held the Office of state
bank examiner under Comptroller OF
the Currency Eckles. and was also
well known as a lawyer. His brother
Charles. of Pomeroy, arrived in the
city today. and will have charge Of
the burial of the bodies.

Sea Gives up DecompOsed Body In a
Box.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 1s.-The
police authorities today are inyesti-
eating the murder mystery surround
ing the decomposed and terribly mu-
tilated body of an unidentified man
which was found in box on the shore
Of Vashon Island. The box which was
discovered by Indians had evidently
been thrown into the sea and then
swept upon the shore by the tide. The
body had been crushed into the box,
and had evidently been in 1t for long
time as IL was In bad state of de-
composition. 1t will be brought here,
and held pending an investigation.

mat a prudent regard for state in

academy. The increase in state in
mtutions could thus be avoided,

'asteful misuse of public money in
aaintaing the two discredited insti-
auons. All can be made useful and

STATE TREASURER
VIOLATES LAW
Loss of $4,000 and Grand jury
Wants Deeper Probing

BOISE, Idaho, IAN. 1.-THE Ada
county grand jury session expired at
midnight last night. with the term
OF court in conjunction with which it
was convened. Among matters in
Vestigated was charge bearing on
the conduct of the Office OF state
treasurer under Charles A. Hastings
These charges were preferred a year
ago. The treasurer was accused Of
having violated the depository act by
leaving enormous sums of state mon
ey with favored banks for long per-
iods of time without interest or with
out the character of security required
One bank failed during the time with
$4,000 of the funds alleged to have
been Illegally deposited. The state
has not yet received the money. The
last administration caused an examin-
alton of the treasurer's Office. The
report made public Just before cleo
ton was characterized as a white
wash and since then there have been
demands for sweeping inquiry. The
grand jury has filed report in which
it says:
In reference to the charges made
against the state treasurer, which
matter was called to the attention of
this jury by the court, we report that
owing to the fact that this was the
last matter to be laid before the jury,
we have not had sufficient time to
thoroughly investigate said charges
and the conduct of his Office by the
state treasurer.
I'VE have, however, discovered ir-
regularities in the conduct of the Of
flee which causes us to believe that
funds of the state in charge of the
state treasurer have been withdrawn
from the vault in the Office of the
state treasurer in a manner contrary
and in violation of the laws of the
state. We have been unable to pur-
sue this investigation far enough to
get data and facts sufficiently specific
and detailed to entirely satisfy our
minds on this and other important
points bearing on this subject. We
believe, however, that the evidence
submitted to us justifies further and
more detailed investigation than we
have been able to give the subject by
reason of lack of time, and we rec
ommend that this matter be submit
ted to the grand jury for further in
vestigation.

velt.' and eliminating from his ad
dress the name Roosevelt" entirely,
but designating him instead as a wat
erspout and tyrant, the pigmy de-
seendant of Dutch traders, the foun-
tion OF Billingsgate, the bogus hero,
and the imitation king. Representa-
tive Willette of New York, today
made one OF, the most vitrIolic attacks
on the president that has ever been
made in the house.
Willette was not satisfied with con-
fining himself to the public life Of
Roosevelt as president. but went back
to the commencement of his political
career. He dwelt upon his career as
assistant secretary OF the navy, and
denounced It in scathing language,
and then turned his attention to his
administration as governor OF the
state of New York. He pronounced
his election to this Office a fiuke, and
then followed with bitter attack on
his administration. The presidents
war record next came in for arraign-
ment, and it was ridiculed and derid-
ed from beginning to end. Repre-
sentative Willette declared that
Roosevelt had served during the
spanish-American war at San Juan
Hill in Cuba with colored soldiers,
and that his record was one OF bogus
heroism
The house through the forepart of
the address gave Willette its attention
but as 1t grew more bitter refused
to listen to it. He was forced to pro-
coed with most OF It on a point OF or
der, but the house finally by vote OF
126 to rs refused to permit him to
continue with It to the end.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. II.
"A number OF survivors of the Dot
sero wreck on the Rio Grande rail-
road reached Salt Lake today. Those
who were not too benumbed by the
scenes of horror through which they
had passed. related pitiful stories of
the disaster. George H. Harris, a
Salt Lake man. who was riding in the
standard sleeper, says of the rescues:
1T was found that 10 were dead,
three others died in the hospital and
a hobo who was riding the blind bag
gage was crushed to death That
made a total of 23 dead.
The chair car was completely de-
molished and there was hardly
enough of 1t left to I'LL a cigar box.
Where the accident occurred there Ia
a river on one side of the embank-
ment and sheer descent on the
other side. The impact drove the
tourist sleeper through the chair car
ahead, one side falling down the en-
bankment and the other into the wat
er.
Rescue Child but Family Perlshes.
I'VE came upon family OF five
father mother, two little boys and o
little girl. AS we reached the father,
he cried out. For Gods sake help my
children; am dying. We had been
working hard, but we put more ener
gy, If possible, into our work, and
soon had the little girl freed from the
wreekage. She was badlyy hurt. but
we knew It would help the dying par.
ents II we told them the child was
safe. When we reached them with
our message we were too late. The
father, mother and two boys had
died.
"A little farther on our attention
was called to a little girl about 8
years old. She was Lying dead upon
the second locomotive of the freight
train. Evidently when the impact
came she had been hurled from the
chair car over the baggage car and
two engines.
THE hobo on the blind baggage
was pinned beneath the tender and
the front of the baggage car 1t was
impossible to remove him and, as he
was dead we allowed him to remain
there"
