Glover whose mysterious murder
Stirred this town. Toby or Antonio
lie Blanc today is free and the police
announce that all suspects are elm
mated from the case except Hattie
lie Blanc, the sixteen-year-ol girl
accused by the dying laundryman.
Just what story Toby told the po-
lice has not been made public. but
Chief Mckenna declares there can be
no possible doubt that Glover's dy.
ing story was correct and that Hattie
lie Blanc was his slayer Only one
fact he says, remains to be cleared
Up and tina. Is that no motive for the
cline has been revealed.
Upon this weakness the defense
builds its hopes The FIVE brothers of
Glover still declare that Hattie is in
recent and are busy with corps OF
private detectives in the effort to
clear her.
While no details OF their discov-
cries are gwen out. the attorneys for
the lie Blanc girl declare themselves
confident Of being able to prove that
the did not kill Glover. 1t is their
contention that a third person was

met with the girl and this third per-
son shot Glover down.

Ry IInlted Press Wlre.

Berlin, Nov. 30.--The Reichstag re-
convened today with y speech from
the throne by the Kaiser, delivered in
the white hall of the palace. Wear
ing his plumed military helmet, the
Kaiser walked gravely between the
ranks of the Reichstag members to
the throne erected beneath a huge
red canopy. He was followed by the
princes of the imperial house.
The empress, accompanied by her
daughters and the ladies of the court,
occupied one of the galleries.
After the reading of the Kaiser's
speech the chancellor stepped forwarc
and called for three cr'eers for the
emperor, which the deputies gave
with enthusiasm. The KAISER showed
his appreciation with Dow and mill :
tary salute. The whole ceremony did
not occupy more than ten inmates.
While the present scssi)n % the

Chicago, Nov. 30.-That the "prac-

mended in his annual report made
public yesterday comedies exactly
with the ideas Of President Taft, was
indicated today by Richard A. Ball

His report, he indicated, he regards

also indicated that his ideas will be
the only ones recommended to con-
gress by the president.
The principles which l advocate"
he said, "are those which l believe
are necessary to a broad platform of
practical conservation. My recon-
mendations to President Taft are
based upon quarter OF century of
life on the Pacific slope.
1T is my answer to those who may
be placed in the attitude of criticism

tragic drama is not written on the
pages of history. How we'll this mod
ern Shakespeare has proved the truth
of the remark of one OF the leaders
in modem thought and literature
who in speaking of the presence OF
literary possibilities said: Gold,
gold all about us and we look for 1,
afar.' Sherlock the second is one of
the few who see it everywhere.
Most everybody will remember the
death of Justus Miller who died be-
tween here and Springfield the other
morning on his way to his old home
in Logan county. The account of the
death and journey appeared in this
paper lust compare it with the story
sent out from Bellefontaine which
is presented herewith:
Bellefontaine, o., Nov. 90 Drive
faster, John, drive faster, | want to
see the old home place once nore,"
urged Justin Miller to his only son,
as in covered wagon they made the
last lap in a thousand mile journey
from Tennessee to GAINESVILLE, Logan
county.
I'm driving the mules all they
can go, father. replied the son, as
ne goaded the animals. The wagon,
containing father, mother and son,
was winding up the beautiful Mac
ochee valley, just entering the ron-
fines of Logan county, when the elder
Miller, who had been ailing, said he
would lie down and rest.
AS the familiar scenes of their
former home came into view, Mrs.
Miller called to her husband:
John, IRE coming home.
He did not answer. Mother and son

was dead-Urbana Citizen.
