Detroit, Sept. 10-The young women
who tainted last night at the state
fair grounds and who is believed to
lie laboring under excitement due to
thinking about the finding of the body
of Maybelle Millman in Ecorse creek,
was Mrs. Alice Reno, a clerk in the
Hovey confectionery store on lower
Woodward avenue. Mrs. Reno was
still being detained by the police this
morning as witness.
Mrs. Cora Nellis. another clerk in
the Hovey store and an old friend
C. Maybelle Millman, had previously
been questioned by the police. Mrs.
Nellis said today in an interview that
Maybelle Millman three weeks ago
had told her that she would like to
have a physician recommended for
girl friend who worked in a store In
Detroit. At this time DIR. Fritch's
name was given to the Millman girl
by Mrs. Nellis.
The discovery yesterday Of the
missing portion of the body resulted
in complete verifcation of the the
'"y of the police that Miss Millman
met her death on the surgeons table.
DIR. Geo. A. Fritch, arrested In con-
nection with the case was still in GUS
tody this morning and no other ar
rests had been made. He was taken
before Police Justice Jefferies about
noon. His attorney, Frank T. Lodge.
objected to Judge Jeffries, intimating
that bail might be fixed at $4,000 and
sug- ID $4,000. DR.. Fritch made

Berlin, Sept. 10.-It would be diff

story than that of the Duke of Pless,
which has occupied public attention
THAT is to say, has formed the topic
of discussion in the cafes) since
Thursday, when the story got into the
newspapers. Still, it has occupied
public attention SO that the chronicler
can hardly escape a reference to it..
Details need hardly be repeated here,
for they must have gone the round

flee 1t to say that prince and duke,
now dead, had taken as his mistress
a girl Of no particular birth and had,
"for the names sake" paid another
man to give her his name. 1t is an
ancient story and a method which
was popular with the Louises in
princes elsewhere. It is not in the
least surprising that the man who
was paid did not think he was paid
enough, and that from that day on
ward he continued togpursue the duke.

Copenhagen, Sept. 10.-Dr. Freder-
ick A. Co6k left Copenhagen today by
sea for Christiansand where he will
board the steamer Oscar II for New
York. A large crowd bade him fare

September 20 or 81.
DR.. Cook asked the officials of the
Danish Greenland administration to
arrange for the dispatch of one of
their boats to Greenland at his ex-
pense to get the two Eskimos who ac-
companied him to the pole. The Of
ficials stated that it is now too late
in the season for such an attempt, and
advised him that he must wait for
spring, which he will do. He proposed
to Gould Brokaw who is here with his
yacht Fedora, that they make a start
for Greenland Immediately, but Brok.
aw would not agree to this.
The University of Copenhagen today
conferred upon DR.. Cook the honorary
degree of doctor of science-Honoris

a thousand people, who cheered the
explorer heartily. In thanking the
rector, DR.. Torp, for the honor, DIR.
Cook said that the university should

Beverly, Sept. 10.-It was stated to-
day that Mr.. Taft has sent for Attor-
ney General Wickersham to come to
Beverly on Saturday to discuss sew
eral matters of importance. 1t is be-
lievei that one of these has to do with
the DISPUTE between the department of
the interior and the forestry division
of the department of agriculture re-
gardlng the carrying out of the con-
servati0n and public land laws. The
attorney general has also been drawn
into the Cunningham coal land case,
and it was on his initiative that the
motion tc pateft the Cunningham
claims has been held up.
Tie president is anxious that the
controversy at Washington shall be
amleably settled If possible.
.alr. Taft has been giving much
thought Of late to the speeches he is
to make in the west and is catering
vast s.lnoLnt of matter to form the
basis of what he will have 10 saw dur
ing the two months of travel and
speech. making.
1t is said that Mr.. TAFT will take
ing the recent tariff fight in congress.
He will Tereat what he had 10 say
in the statement issueden the time
clare that while the measure was un-
satisfactory in many ways it was the
best he could get out Of congress In
der all the circumstances.
1t is further stated that the rresi-

that beset him in dealing with the
tariff situation and that he will put
sqNarelyi up to the people the Ques-
ton Of whether or not they desire a
still further revision. The president
will tel! his hearers that the remedy
for any shortcomings in tho bill will
be. to eject people pledged to Il rev is
ion along the lines desired.
MIR. Taf. may also tel. The people
that while he knew very little Of the
technical side of the tariff; wnen the
fl3!lt II. congress began, ne learned
a great uoal during the session i:e
believes also that the people have
learned a great deal about the ta"iff

Reports regarding the presidents
intentions say that he will specifically
take up several of the most important
schedules dealt with in the figh. for
revision. The woolen goods sahedale,
which was not touched IN any way
in either branch of congress-, will
come in for particular attention. Mr..
Taft has told number If his callers,
both here and in WASHINGTON, that
he was not satisfied with the uourse
congress adopted toward the woolen
schedule and this will be one OF the
subjects on which he will Indicate TO
the people that they can express their

Charles HE murder case yesterday, II
SENS that HE suffered fracture of
the skull some two weeks ago by be-

fist and that he dropped like log.

IRELAND SEES
new TROUBLE
Recrudescence Of Party and
Religious Rioting That Was
Once Common
(By F. x. Cullin.)

Dublin, Sept. 1O.-I have the un-
pleasant task this week of chronicl-
ing the fierce recrudescence Of the
party and religious rioting that used
% disgrace the north Of Ireland, and
which many Irishmen had hoped was
done with forever. The occurrences
within the last few days in Norta-
down and Lurgan, however, point to
the fact that the religious antagonism
Is still smouldering, and that il will
be some time before we can really say
they are brothers who must support
zach other against the common ene-
my.
Unhappily, l cannot say that either
party was less to blame than the 9th
sr. and indeed, If the odium of start
Ing the row rests on any one 1t ts
on the organization known as the
Ancient Order Of Hiberians, which re-
Iected the efforts of the delegates of
The great Americans Organization of
that name to bring about peace few
weeks ago. The order in ireland. of
course, is aggressively Catholic. al
though It has been condemned by
Cardinal Logue and a number Of 9TH
or prelates. and it selected Poradown,
the most aggressiyely Protestant and
Orange town in Ireland for its an
nual picnic. Such defiance could only
have one result. and the authorities
foreseeing trouble did not adopt the
most tactful method Of preparing for
1t. For couple of days before the
event police from the south Of Ire
land were poured into the town until
the full force of imported constables
numbered over 600. In spite of this
great army fierce rioting broke out
before the day was half over, and a
couple Of men were killed and scores
more were seriously injured. At the
Time Of writing one of the officers in
command Of the police is lying at the
point Of death from injuries which
he received in trying to preserve or
der. It must be said for the police
that they kept their heads and hehay-
ID admirably. Although the rioters

THE SPOKANE RATE CASE
Commissioner Prouty of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission to
Take Further Testimony.
tHerald Specially

Spokane, Wash, Sept 29.-Inter-
est in the Spokane rate case was re-
yived today by the arrival of Com
missioner Prouty of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to take fur
Their testimony in the much-discussed
case. The case has been pending be-
fore the commission since 1907, when
the business interests of the city ask
ed the commission to revise the rates
on shipments from the east. The
chief question at issue is whether
through rates from the east to such
cities as Spokane, Reno, Salt Lake
City and like interior cities of the far
western region should not be lower
than the rates to the coast cities. 1t
is the long and short haul question
over again, with some notifications,
The Pacific coast cities hold they are
entitled to the benefits of water COM
petition.
In February last the Interstate
Commerce Commission rendered de-
cision, which was to become opera
tive, except as modified, in May, and
which made the class rates from st.
Paul to Spokane equal to five-sixths
of the existing rate from st. Paul to
Seattle; fixed the class rates from
Chicago to Spokane at the equivalent
of those then in force between st.
Paul and Seattle, and established new
commodity rates upon more than
thirty specified articles, between
Chicago and Spokane, by adding 16
2-3 per cent to the rates charged on
from st. Paul to Spokane
