Murderer-ChiId Was Enticed or
Dragged Into Cellar.

Louisville, Ky.-Mrs. Joseph Wend.
ling was accessory on the charge of be
ing accessory to the murder of Alma
Kellner, whose mutilated body was
found in a cistern under one of the
parochial buildings of ST. Johns Cath
Ollie Church.
Confronted with a gold ring and a
pin which had been found in her trunk,
and after the pin had positively been
identified by the mother of the long
missing child as n which Alma wore
the day she disappeared, Mrs. Wend-
ling maintained a stolid demeanOr and
and casually vOuchsafed the informa-
ton that the ring and the pin had been
given her by a boy who found them
on the street.
Mrs. Vending also admitted that
stains on some clothing which she
washed for her husband were blood
stains.
Further than this, a three hours
sweating" which ended shortly be-
fore midnight, elected little infOrma-

the police now seek as the murderer
of the little girl. Chief of Detectives
Carney announced Vending was the
janitor of the church and school where
the child met her death. No clew as
to the mans whereabouts thus far has
been obtained.
The body was found only a few
yards from the entrance to St. Johns
Church, where Alma la gone to at

COTTON MEN GO TO LONDON
Southern Cotton Buyers Association
Up in Arms.

Atlanta, Ga.-FOr the purpose of APP
pointing a representative to go to
London to protest against the demand
that all Southern cotton be shipped on
port bills of lading, the Southern Cot
ton Buyers Association will hold a
meeting in this city next Thursday.
The representative of the association
probably will be authorized to propose
a surety company as protection for
through bills of lading as now used.
The present demand Of foreign
bankers is the result of recent fail
ures Of two big Southern exporting
firms, Knight, Yancey & Co., of Deca-
tur, Ala, and Steele, Miller & Co., Of
COrinth, Miss, by which the foreign
ers lost in the neighborhood of ST.
900, 900.
1t is claimed by bankers Of the in
land cities that if port bills of lading
are required. it would be impossible to
do any amount of business from inte-
rior cities, with Galveston, New Or
leans, Savannah, Mobile and other
coast points practically controlling the
cotton export business of the South.

ic reports, said to originate in German
circles, both at London and Washing
ton, have it that Ambassador White
law Reid is persona non grata with
King George V Of England and as a
result the president is somewhat en-
barrassed.
While the personal relations of King
George and the American ambassador
are not such as to create unpleasant
complications, they offer just enough
antagonism to make it advisable for
Mr.. Reid to retire before the life at the
London court regains it's usual status.
Furthermore, Mr.. Reid is reported
to have written to friends that with the
death of his friend, the late king, he
has no desire to remain in London.

ferees OF the rivers and harbor bill

gregating $51,947,71S, a net reduction
of $705,5O0 from the amount of the bill

All of the reductions consisted of

the proposed Beaumont-Neches canal
in Texas, $3.50, 900 for the Green river
dam i'll Kentucky, and $4,000 for the
Improvement Of the Missouri river at
Lake Contrary, all of which were
stricken from the bill.
Other senate amendments relating
to the Missouri river improvement
work were accepted. These provide
for al expenditure of $500, 900 between
Kansas City and Fort Benton, half be-

Observation-Disclosures Taft Friday
sent to Chairman Tawney of the house
committee on appropriations a letter
expressing deep resentment at the
criticisms passed in the house debate
on the travelling expenses of the presi-
dent.
The president says he is especially
distressed by suggested reflection on
Southern hospitality."'
The pres. dents letter follows:
The White House,
Washington, May 81, 1910.
My Dear Mr.. Tawney:
Il am deeply grieved over the phase
which the discussion of the apprOpria-
ton for the travelling expenses of the
president took yesterday. l think 1t
is a legitimate argument in favor OF
such al appropriation that congress
men and many others press the ac-
ceptanCe of invitations to visit their
sections and districts, because the ur-
gency of such requests ind Gates the
opinion on the part of the people that
one Of the duties of the president is to
visit the people in their homes.
But the intimation or suggestion
lAdJ TIC acceptance DS COlSI SSSllSu III
the pres dents invitation to travel on
the train with him in their respective
districts or states was a reasOn why
they should not vote their free opinion
on the question of such an %appropria-
ton is to me a most painful One
In travelling upon the train they
were not receiving my hospitality
they were only making a little more
elaborate the cordial welcome which
they, as representatives of their dis
tricts. wished to give.
The feature of the discussion yes
terday which was especially distress
ing to me, was a suggested reflection
on Southern hospitality. The intima-
ton that somewhere in the South
board was charged has no foundation
in fact, and never heard it minated
until l saw it in his mornings paper.
I'm all my experience, and have
enjoyed the hospitality of many sec
lions and countries of the world,I never
had a more cordial, generous, open
and lavish welcome than | had in the
Southern states during my trip, and
the slightest hint that puts me in the
attitude of a critic of that hospitality
gives me great pain.
II am going to take the liberty of
making tbs letter to you public. Very
sincerely yours, VIM. H. TAFT"
Representative Tawney issued a
statement saying the ~colloquy on the
floor yesterday between himself and
Southern members regarding South
ern hospitality had been distorted.
Mr.. Tawney said it was ridiculous to
suppose" that he would reflect upon
Southern hospitality.
