P. {. fWARI At the CAPITAL
SAYS HE Is STILL IN AFFAIRS OF
HOME STATE OF MINNESOTA.
Friends Wonder II ho Will Enter the
Congressional Arena - Hammond
and Ex-songressman MeCiea-
ry Alison In Capital.

Washington, June 26.-Paul E.
Ewart. formerly United States attor.
ney In Minnesota and now assistant
attorney general of the United States.
Is in Washington for q conference
with Attorney General Wickersham
and Secretary Ballinger of the inter
ior, over Oklahoma land fraud cases.
Mr.. Ewart has been engaged in
clearing up cases in the zinc and lead
districts of Oklahoma since last No
vember, with considerable success.
His efforts have resulted in the saving
to the government of about 10000
acres of valuable mineral lands there,
and large number of cases are now
pending, over which conferences are
to be held in Washington.
Rumors that Mr.. Ewart's absence
from the state has put him perma-
nently out of the congressional fight
in the second district of Minnesota,
were discussed reluctantly by him.
He would not indicate whether he had
ambitions to again figure in the Sec
ond district fight, but he declared
emphatically that he did not desire
to be considered as alien to Mime
sofa or Minnesota affairs.
Former Congressman McCleary has
spent practically the entire winter
here and is understood to have assist.
ed in considerable research work on
tariff subjects. He and Mr.. Ewart
had an unexpected meeting at the
Willard yesterday and exchanged fell
citations.

MRS. HOWARD GOULD FREE.
One More Scandal in High Life Wiped
OF the Docket.

New York, June 26.-Justice Dowl-
ing granted Mrs. Howard Gould a
separation from her husband and ali
mony Of $4,000 year.
Justice Bowling. in his decision, said
that all the evidence was in favor of
Mrs Gould. and that the conduct of
Mrs. Gould when she was alleged to
have been intoxicated might have
caused by excitement.
The justice disposed of the allega-
tions concerning Mrs. Gould's meet
ings with Dustin Farnum by saying
that they all occurred since Mr.. and
Mrs. Gould separated, and that Mr..
Gould had never objected to them. A
stay of thirty days in execution of the
Judgment was granted.

the murder by the wife. Deputy Sher-
III Gates Phillips, who has charge OF
Smith, says that the latter confessed
to him that Mrs. Leadbeater muv-
dered her husband on the night of
May 4, between 10 and II o'clock
He claims the woman was in love
with another man from whom she had
received an engagement ring before
marrying Leadbeater
To fulnll her promise to this man,
Smith says, the woman, who is 33
years old (the husband was 53) de-
cided to get Leadbeater out of the
way, Smith, Swandt and Mrs. Swandt
are said to have taken sides with Mrs.
Leadbeater and to have assisted in
every possible way to cover up the
details of the crime.
Another motive IL that there had
been q family quarrel resulting from
the sale by Swandt of a stock of
goods which he had traded for farm
owned by Leadbeater in Iowa. He
squandered the proceeds and failed
to make an accounting to Leadbeater.
1t Is possible, the authorities be-
lieve, that Swandt killed the man to
settle this debt, and that Mrs. Lead
beater, Mrs. Swandt and Smith helped
to conceal the murder.
Still another motive put forth by
Smith, is a promised marriage to
Smith If the husband was gone. The
prisoner claims the woman had tried
to poison her husband two or three
times before, promising that she
would marry him.
She was confronted by Smith late
yesterday afternoon, but she refused
to talk
Following the disappearance Of
Leadbeater, who was prominent
farmer, the entire country became
aroused and suspicion at once pointed
toward Smith. Nothing was done in
the matter, however, until Richard
Leadbeater. a brother, Of Hayward,
Wis, came to Mankato several days
ago and started systematic search
for his brother.

sport-elqnsd Death Warrant
In Affectionate Notes.

New York, June 26.-Elsie Sigel's co.
luetting with her two Chinese lovers
brought on her death. Her letters to
William Leon, the flashy young sport,
whose pockets were always empty.
and to Chu Gain, who always had
money for his friends, are direct indi-
cations to the police that the grand
laughter Of General Franz Sigel would
be alive If she had not tried to play
two Chinese strings to- her bow.
The police have kept tight hold on
the girls loving notes to her yellow
admirers, refusing to make them pub
lie for three reasons. The Sigel fam
lily went to Commissioner Bingham
and entreated him not to give them
out.
Hundreds of letters from all over
the country have been received at po-
lice headquarters asking the commits
sioner to withhold them, because their
publication might affect other girls
who might be inclined to be as fool
lsh as Elsie had been.
For third reason, the police heads
argue that Leon might have a better
chance to run if the contents of FL
sizes letters were common property.
They have not been entirely sue
cessful in Mulberry street though, in
preventing the contents OF few let
ters to Leon, hunted all over the world
as the girls murderer, and to Chu
Gain. her other lover, from becoming
known and these letters tell in them
selves the cause of her murder.
Dual Game Of Love.
She soothed Icons jealousy with
one hand while she smoothed the ruff
fed feelings Of the other Chinese
with the other. She wrote one day
to William L. Leon of the missions,
her Willie" assuring him she would
not give him up for anybody. A few
days later she wrote to Chu Gain that
she loved Chu and Chu only and that
Willie" was nothing to her.
All of this time, for weeks before
she was strangled in Icons room,
Leon was snarling with jealousy.
threatening the girl, threatening Chu
Gain. appealing to his own private
Tong to help him get square and send
Ing out Chung Sing as spy.
The police learned that while Elsie
was undoubtedly making love to both
her mother had ordered
her to break away from Leon and pay
more attention to Chu Gain.
Elsie's letters indicated that she
was willing enough to flatter the
Cinnamon with loving phras-
es, but she was not ready to break of
with her old friend, Leon.

Device Distinguishes Human Voice
from Instrumental Notes.
Prof. Dayton c. Miller of the Case
School Of Applied Science. at Cleve-
land, Ohio, says he has discovered a
means Of photographing sound. BY
the use Of his newly perfected device
he believes it will be possible to dis
tinguish on films the difference be-
tween the tones of a human voice and
the tones of musical instrument.
The nearest that scientists have
heretofore has oeen to make them
come to reproducing sound waves
visible on smoked paper. Several
photographs have been made on the
regular print paper, but they have
been small and imperfect. The inven-
don OF Prof. Miller directly photo
graphs the sound waves, magnifying
them 1000 times and recording them
on films.
In his investigation Prof. Miller has
used a harmonica analyzer, an instru.
ment made IN Switzerland. which sep
arates sound waves into their compon.
ent parts. determining whether a Ger.
tain photographed sound. wave was
made by flute. bell, violin, or 9th.
er instrument. 1t is his purpose to
tabulate the results OF his expert
ments for the nse OF other investigat.
ors. labor that will require several
years.
