The famous Harvard geologist, Ma
thaniel Southgate Shaler. who died
about four years ago. was man Of
singularly wide range and vivacity OF
conversation. In a single hour, says
correspondent Of the New York Ma

verse as national politics, the seeds OF
the fossil Coniferae. and the question
whether there might not be some eth
nological considerations bearing on
mathematical studies.

Only common sense is unusual and by

Louisville, June THE nation wide
search for Joseph Vending, the mis-
sing janitor of the st. Johns school,
Louisville, where the body of Alma
Kellner was found, continues with
little encouragement.
Gradually the police are uncovering
evidence which is disclosing the man
ner in which Alma Kellner met her
| death. Facts have been learned which
substantiate the statement that the
! girl was struck down while at prayer
IN ST. Johns church. 1t is believed
that the body was thrown into the
basement through trapdoor in the
church floor. In an ash heap under
the altar was found glove and hand
! kerchief identified as having belonged
to the murdered girl. There was also
discovered a pair of trousers, which
it is believed bear bloodstains.
Rewards aggregating $1,000 have
been offered already and tonight the
city council will be asked by Mayor
Head TO add another thousand. Gov
ernor Wilson is expected to increase
these sums as soon as request Is
made upon him by the county judge
here. The board of public safety has
instructed the police and detective de-
partments to spare no expense in the
pursuit Of the murderer.
The police do not believe that Jo-
seph Vending the missing French
ianitor has returned to France, but
think nc may be found in some French
settlement in this country or Canada.
His wife, held under charge OF be-
ing an accessory to the murder still
0esolutely declares That she knows
nothing about the crime.
The truth has been kept from Mrs.

why the body was moi brought to the
