 ward EeK she kianappers of Hakv Haa Handicapped Tha Police.

Louisville. Ky. Dec. 13.--Circuit Judge Joseph Pryor, of Louisville, formally requested Governor Augustus E. Wiiison tonight to offer a reward In the name of the State for the re- covery of Alma Keilner. the S-year-oid girl who left her home on her way to mass Wednesday of last week and has not been heard from since. The Governor replied that he knew of no statute which would empower him to offer such a reward, but that there was no restriction upon his offering a reward personally and that he would take some action upon the question tomorrow.
 Meanwhile 1t is a baffed police force and press of Louisville that Is still diligently at work on the case. There are no theories left and even surmises and suspicious are few. A search was made by the police today of the Keiiner home and of the home of Alma's grandmother. but no trace of the child was found.
 Mrs. F. l.. Kellner. mother of Alma Kellner, is reported to be bearing up well and hopeful that the child is at least physically unhurt somewhere.
 The family has offered no reward but the facilities that Frank Fehr. a brewer and uncle of Alma could provide. have been used in the search.
 The police announced at noon today that with the cooperation of tho Keliner family they believed the mys. tery would be cleared.

 b Dead Clothing owned Hy ,. 0. Hunter Found Dyed With Bleed and He h Held rr..ssss At B.rrast.
 Chsrsea with
 Crime. !

Savannah, Ca. Dec. 1a.--Deveiop- ,nents tonight in the aftermath of the triple murder of last Friday afternoon gave birth to the startling theory that not q single murderer, bat two, or possibly three were engaged in the commission of the terrible crime.
 County officers tonight declare. that of these q. c. Hunter. husband of Mrs. Maggie Hunter, whose death today added third to the number of mur- dered women. is certainly one.
 They say that the chain of evidence is complete. asserting that some cloth tered with blood. was found late to- day and which belongs to Hunter. is the final link. The clothing, It ia de- clared was worn by Hunter on the day of the crime.
 It was declared tonight by physi- elan at the Savannah hospital, that statements made during a moment> of consciousness by Mrs. Hunter early today charged the crimes to her hus- band and she says she was held by e negro man when the blows were struck that caused her death.
 Rev. T. S. Wilder. pastor of Bap- tist church here. stated that she said to him that white man had struck the fatal blows.
 Today and tonight the police officers continued questioning Hunter. who has been a prisoner since Saturday. He stoutlg denies his guilt.
 Mayor Tiedeman tonight asked that no extra editions of the newspapers be issued carrying the developments in the case and though one paper was almost in the press, the edition was suppressed.

HAS A FEW BRAINS LEFT
MRS BROKAw DISPLAYS FLASHES
 OF WIT.
In Divorce Suit she Declares Experi- ences After Marriage Taught Her to Recognize symp-
 toms of Int0xfca-

New York, Dec 13.-The ready wit and cool head of Mary Blair Brokaw, who seeks decree of separation with ailmony of $6O,000 a year, from her millionaire husband, W. Gould Bro kaw. flashed again and again today through the persistent prodding of her cross examination.
 . At the times you say your hus- band threatened to blow out your brains, did you believe him2" asked John F. Mcintyre, counsel for the de- fense.
 Not when he wasn't drinking. returned the witness. adro!tly.
 ''Did he say he would or could do it?" persued Mir. Mcintyre.
 .'In Paris he said he coull and in the South he said he would"
 Well, he didn't did he?" asked Mir. Mcintyre, as a clincher
 'I think" said the witness sweetly you will find l still have few left"
 At another time there was ques- ton of what Mrs. Brokaw meant by "paralyzed" as an adjective she ap- piled to Mir. Brokaws condition on a night when she testified she tele- phoned for his secretary to take care of him. Mrs Brokaw simplihed her definition into "a condition of help less intoxication" and MT. Mcintyre immediately wished to know how the witness had qualified as a judge in the symptoms of drunkenness.
 My varied experience after marri- age made me an expert" she retort- ed
 The worst weather an Atlantic coast northeaster can show did not daunt the curious today. Many women, richly robed in furs, motored over to Mineola, L. l.. through the slush and rain and crowded the lt&le court room. The testimony did not disap- point them.
 Cigarettes had proved an embarrass- ing subject for Mrs. Brokaw In pre- vious testimony. Today she triumphed over cocktails, of which she had only tasted four in her life. she said, and never before breakfast. Champagne she thought, tasted very much like ginger ale.
 MT. Mcintyre began to delve Into Mrs. Brokaw's bills for dresses. Her lawyers cut him short with an ad- mission that MT. Brokaw had spent s3O,O00 on his wife in their first year of married life.
 Mir. Mcintyre thought tho items spoke for fliemselves. T win hardly agree" he instanced. that Q couple of hundred dollars worth of corsets were used by Mfr. Brokaw."
 Brokaw himself. who ia far from puny. joined in the laugh that foi- lowed.

MANY FATALITIES REPORTED

Erie. Pa. Dec 13.--The Twentieth Century Limited. the New York Cen tral fast train. en route from Chicago to New York. collided with the rear end of passenger train No. 10 on the Lake Shore Railroad at Northeast. Pa. sixteen miles east of here, shortly af- ter midnight.
 At the time of the collision the Twen- tieth Century was easily making sixty two miles an hour. Six bodies have already been taken from the wreck. and, it Is believed. there will be many more fatalities. A relief train left here at midnight loaded with nurses and doctors for the scene of the wreck.
 Northeast is small town. and at night is cut or from both telegraph and telephone communication.
 Reports from the wreck did not reach here nntii late, and then 1t was said that styo freight trains had come together with no loss of life.
 The Twentieth Century Limited is due at Erie at f1:45 D. m., and passed, running faster than schedule time. No. 10. also eastbound. left here at f1:o5 D. m. and was scheduled to take the siding at Northeast, but 1t is be- lieved the traia did not reach the sid ing far enough in advance of the flyer to make proper clearance. The wreck occurred directly opposite the Northeast railway station.
 Railway officials here refuse to make public any facts concerning the freck.
 An Associated Press correspondent left here with a relief train and news concerning the wreck is expect ed momentariiy.
 Every dead wagon In Erie is lined up at the Lake shore Railway station here, while hospitals have been asked to prepare to take care of many in- jured.
 Coroner Harley has been notified of the wreck and is preparing his morEue for the reception of the poss- ible dead which may be brought here.
 It Is expected that the moEs seri7 ously Injured will arrive her'es wfth- in an hour.
 The second section of No. 26 (the Twentieth Century, was made up of two cars from St. Louis, one from Cincinnati and one from Cleveland, The St. Louis cars were ahead and most of the dead are reported to be in them and in the two rear cars of No. 10, which carried pasgengers from Cleveland and Chicago. No. 10 was delayed an hour and forty-five minutes at Northeast and sent flag men back It is said that his lantern went out but this Is not confirmed

SEVEN DEAD IN
 TENEMENT FIRE Women and Children Ars
 Victims. z HOLDING SON, JUMPS TO psA1H UnInown Mother Leaps Fr}l Third Floor. Bia.e caussa by Upsettins of Keroseas Lamp Fatal to seven Persons seven other. Seriously in-
 jured-Firemen Res- cue Many.

Cincinnati. Dec 1s.-Two women. three children and two men lost their lives and seven other persons were se- riously injured in a tenement fire at Third and Sycamore Streets which broke oht at midnight. The charred bodies of three victims are unrecog- nizable.
 In incidents and horror, the fire out ranks any similar calamity which mas occurred in Cincinnati In many years past. The building was occupied by about one dozen families. The blaze was caused through the upsetting of a kerosene lamp in a hallway on the second floor. All the occupants were asleep and before the fire was discov- cred all egress was cut of to those in the upper stories.
 The latter gathered In the windows and climbed to the roof, whence they jumped into blankets held by the police and hremen.
 One of the most tragic incidents was when an unknown woman. claspine her 8-year-old son in her arms, sprang from third floor window and both were instantly killed in the fall to the sidewalk below. Six men, who wanted to leap to the street. were held back by firemen.
 The property loss was small.
