 In several hundred churches today ices was the reading of a circular let ter issued by the civic committee, urging the members of every congre- gation to attend a huge indignation meeting this week. The sermons, too, were designed to arouse a public con- demnation of such practices as have been revealed.

SHE SMILED AS SHE READ
Story of Her Lovers Arrest and the Discovery of the
 Charred Fragments of Ruth Wheeler in Albert
 Wolter's Room

New York. March 27.-Albert Wolter, the youth in the fireplace of whose rooms yesterday were found portions of the burned body of Ruth Wheeler, the young stenographer who has been missing since Thursday. was commit ted to the Tombs without bail today charged with the girls murder. At the continuation of the police quiz to which he was subjected last night Wolter persisted in denials that he has ever seen the girl, had ever written to her or knew how the body came to the fire escape outside his window. or why fragments of human feet. hands and arms were found in the ashes of his fireplace.
 Katie Miller, or Katherine Mallier, the girl with whom he lived. was ar rested today as she approached the house where the murder was commit ted She was reading the details of the murder in a German newspaper as she walked, smiling as she read During long cross examination sEe held sturdily to the consistent story that she knew nothing of the crime until she read it in the newspapers.
 On Thursday night when she re- turned from her work in the laundry where she earned $6 week and gave it all to Wolter. she said she noticed that the stove in front of the five place had been moved. that the fire board was newly painted and q colored Autograph was pasted over the hole where the stoyepipe formerly entered. When she asked Wolter why he had done this he answered that summer was coming and he would not need the stove.
 She said that she had not even known that WOlter had received vis- itor until Pearl Wheeler, the dead girls elder sister. came to the house on Fri day morning to ask if Ruth had been there Wolter denied this. but the Mil Ter girl says she was uneasy after the  interview. became jealous and accused him of harboring another woman in the flat Again he denied it. On Friday she went to work again and that after noon WoItcr was arrested.
 The. girl was committed to the house of detention as material witness. An autopsy today showed that - Ruth Wheeler had been killed in the manner indicated by the first examination. First. she had been strangled with a rope. and then the bones of the arms and legs broken to admit the body more readily to the narrow throat of the chimney Why cuts were made on the body is not apparent.
 When the Miller girl was shown the night shirt in which part of the charred body had been wrapped. she positively identified the garment as wolter's That letter w worked on the shirt was embroidered by Albert's mother" she said.

 FOR COL. ROOSEVELT
THE WoRsHIPPERs GATHERED
 WHERE HE WAS.
The Remarkable Impression He Has
 Made Upon Egyptians.

Cairo. March 21-Col. Roosevelt and party attended Easter services at an English church. which was crowded with worshippers. Later he gave small private luncheon at SherarIs restaurant and afterward Col Roose- welt received informally d derutatiOn of Copts and MohamnedanS and lead ns Egyptian journalists.
 Every one is awaiting dnNiously the speech of Col. Roosevelt at the uni versity tomorrow. His discourse, if is thought, will prove important The assassination this month Of Boutrous Ghali, the premier, by student, is expected to be alluded to in the ad- dress.
 During conversation between an educated Egyptian and a correspond ent today. the Egyptian declared that Roosevelt had learned more about the Assouan American mission in two days than Lord Cromer had learned in twenty-five years. This is typical of the impression the Egyptians have formed of Roosevelt's wonderful power of absorbing the details of all sub jects.
 The director of Shepard's hotel in- tends to place d brass tablet to mark the spot where Roosevelt stood i'll the garden of the hotel yesterday and cans.
 Col Roosevelt invited Prince and Princess Eitel Frederick of Germany to take tea wits him on Tuesday.
 In view of the fact that newspapers of the Young Egypt" party have at tackled Col Roosevelt on account of his speech at khartoum, in which he emphasized the benefits of British rule in the Soudan, Col Roosevelt expressed a wish to have a heart-to- heart talk with the native editors. This was arranged this afternoon, and was a picturesque affair.
 Col. Roosevelt. after listening to the voluble remarks of the editors. ad- dressed them on the power and re- sponsibility of the press and the necessity of using n for good ends.

4 MOST VIOLENT OPPONENT
Chairman Mann Will Un- dertake the Sponsorship For the Measure in the House -Conjectures Re garding Adjournment

Washington, March .27.-Thc ambi- Michigan to assume charge of the ad- ninistration railroad bill in the house will not be gratified, the honor going To Chairman Mann of the committee on interstate commerce. The fact was developed today that the supporters of the bill in the form in which it Was originally introduced by MT Townsend and is now pending in the senate. are greatly disappointed. It position of MT. Mann to certain fea- turcs of the bill as drafted by Attoi = ney General Wickersham, would make him disinclined to champion it. His success in incorporating many Of his own ideas into the measure, however, made MT. Mann willing to assume sponsorship.
 Mir Mann was particularly opposed to the provision for the creation of q court of commerce and this was re- tained only through the personal ef- forts of the president Whether MT. Mann will seek to eliminate that pro- vision on the floor is not known. He is said to be as strongly opposed to it as ever, but his objections are con- fined tO the belief that tine establish ment of the new court will involve unnecessary expense. In view of the fact that Mir. Taft is so firmly ill favor of the court. it is not thought that MT. Mann will make any move to- ward elimination.
 The administration is looking to the senate to save the principal features of the original bill. Supporting the president are Messrs. E1kins, Aldrich, Kean, Crane. Cullom and Nixon. of the committee on interstate commerce, as well as many other republican leaders
 Vigorous assaults on the measure have been made by Messrs. Cummins and Clapp. and it is known that they will have the support of many other insurgent republicans, as well as many democrats. That the coalition of in- surgent republicans and democrats is formidable is admitted by the friends of the bill and they are now giving their attention to the formulation nf amendments which they hope to make harmonize some of the differences. The scheme includes the acceptance of some of the inSurgent ideas. No. the slightest consideration is being given by the senate to the attitude of the house. and conference on the bill is certain. If the row between the regulars and the insurgents is at an end. as the leaders of both factions profess to believe, il would appear that congress might De expected to aI- journ about June 15. The indications however. are that the fires of rebel lion are smouldering and may break out again at any moment. The deIro< crats are vehement in their declara- tions that they will carry the next house It is not known how they feel about the selection of d non- member for speakership Neither is it known how Asher Hinds. the house parlia- mcntarian. feels about giving up his position in the house for an honor that might be comparatively short.

MaQ All Have To Be Gone
 Over Again DETECTIVE REGISTRATION
Suspected By Reason of the Adoption of "Last Tax Roll" Qualification ter Will Be Determined Within Few Days

It is possible and even probabl, that all proceedings so far had. leading tr a sewer bond election. will have to be gone over again. That will be decided within day CT two. or by the time of the next meeting Of the city council
 It began to be susrectcd on Saturday morning that the registration was de fective in that many voters who we're entitled to registration had been de- nied that right under the terms Of the advertisement for the registration. which limited the right to those whose names appeared on the last tax roll The call was drawn under an act "f legislature making the appearance ot d voters name on the preceding tax roll necessary qualification.
 But the organic act. which no act "f the legislature can supersede. fixes an other qualification for voters at bond elections. to determine whether bonds for sewers, waterworks and street i'm provements shall issue That requireS only that the voter shall have proper ty subject to taxation. He need never have paid taxes in his life.
 A great many voters in the present case had applied for the privilege of registering. previous to last Saturday and though they said that they were taxpayers. or would be taxpayers this year. they were not last year. They were not permitted to register But on Saturday the language of the or ganic act was dug up and after that until the registration was closed. at mightnight. all voters possessing the other qualifications were allowed Go register on making oath that they had property subject to taxation
 It is suspected that an election for sewer bonds in which those who are declared by the organic act to bc eligible to vote. but who are not al- lowed to vote. would be illegal A very little suspicion regarding the validity of d bond election is certain to be fatal to the bonds
 Even tine territorial law under which the call for registration was made is now under attack in the supreme courts in a case in which a decision may be handed down this week Tn. case came up from CochiSe county. th. appellants protesting against the issue .of school bonds at Douglas after au election held there for that purpose
 The election was held under the ter ritorial law making qualification the fact that the voters name was on the last tax roll IL is complained by the appellants that the law Is iu- valid for its language would allow Up- men. non-residents and minors to vote for the names Of all such persons were on the last tax roll It 's not stated that any one did vote who was not possessed of the other qualifications. but that they might have voted 50 far as the law was cOncedncd.

seen a strange woman pass through their yard on Wednesday and again on Thursday. She disappeared in the rear into d thicket Robert Anderson, who lives nearby, said that on Thursday, as he was waiting for car. the wo- man came to him and asked him about houses in the ncighborhood; she had been told of two that could be rented. He directed her to them and she went into one, an unoccupied house. When she left it she went toward the thick ct. She was then carrying something in paper bag under her arm.
 But she passed through the thicket to the place where her body was found. It seemed that she wished the discovery of her suicide to be made as early as possible.
 The supposition is that on Wednes- day she discovered the place where she intended to die but she did not have the means of death with her. The next day she returned prepared. Where she stayed on Wednesday night has not been learned.
 Of Miss Torgenson little more could be learned yesterday than had been printed by The Republican on the day following the report of her disappear ance. She was fifty-two years old and a native of Sweden. where a brother and sister live. She had said that she had no relatives or friends in this country. She was slight of stature, her hair quite gray.
 A Pullman car check. found among her papers. shows that she arrived in Phoenix on March !. She first ap- peared at the residence of Adjutant Dowen at tine Salvation Army bars racks, and asked for q room. Mrs. Dowell showed her the only one she had, but Miss .Torgenson said that it that she could not sleep. The adju- tant gave her the address of room ing house at 19 West Madison street, and she went there. leaving in day or two for Mrs. kucher's place.
 She returned to the barracks once or twice after that She said that she was unable either to eat or sleep and that she wished to leave for Denver. IL was understood from her conversa- ton that her home was in Chicago and that she had come to Phoenix from Los Angeles.
 She wanted to borrow s25 from the adjutant; that she said. with what she had would enable her to reach Denver. She said that she had money and that she had ordered her bank book and draft forwarded to Phoe- nix The loan was not effected and she went away That was on We'd nesday.
 On Friday after the publication of her disappearance, there came tO the address of the adjutant d bank book showing that Miss Torsenson had DthflN H-gbNV III luc iiliilOiS uSl anu Savings Of Chicago and accompanying was a draft for S201.
 The adjutant took the book and draft to Mrs Kucher's. where he found Marshal Moore. who was col Iecting what evidence he could regard ing the missing woman. The property was turned over to him and he took il, with other papers, which indicated that suicide was contemplated. There were directions for the disposition of this and that article and the address of her brother in Sweden was given. In the woman's conversation with the adjutant and his wife she had spoken of her relatives and also had given an address saying that she wanted to take precaution against something happening to her suddenly.
