GIRLS BODY
FOUND IN CELLAR
Corpse Of Alma KeIIner in
School Basement.
COUNTRY WIDE SEARCH
Mutilated Remains of Child Were
Found In Three Feet of WATERWAYS
Missing Since Last December.

Louisville, KY, May 31.-The de-
composed body of Alma kellner, the
aightyear-old girl who mysteriously
disappeared from her home last De-
cember, was found in sub-basement
Of ST. Johns school, at Clay and Wal
nut streets. The body was lying in
three feet of water.
The body was positively identified
| as that of Alma Kellner by her uncle,
Frank Fehr, millionaire brewer of
Louisville.
The condition of the body indicated
that it had been in the hiding place
Cor several months and that crude
attempt to bury it had been made.
The torso, a limb being missing,
was wrapped in piece of carpet. The
missing limb was found later in an
other part of the cellar, the foot bear
ing the shoe This latter feature is
puZzling the police.
The scene of the gruesOme find Is
only five blocks from the Kellner
home, which is on Broadway, near
Jackson.
Alma Kellner disappeared Dec. 8,
and from that time until the body was
found the case has been a mystery.
She left her home on the morning in
question to attend service at st.
Johns church, and the last seen of her
was when she waved goodby to her
mother in front of the residence.
The search for the missing girl ex-
tended all over the United States.
Plumber Found Body.
The body was found by plumber
who had been sent into the cellar to
stop a leak in a water pipe, which had
flooded the basement. The chief of po-
lice gave it out that he believed it to
be a case of murder.
One hundred children convened in
several rooms of the first and second
floors were hurriedly dismissed from
their classes and sent home when the
discovery was reported to those in
charge of the school,
The leak in the water pipe had
caused water to flow until the floor
was covered to depth OF about three
feet. Lamps were quickly brought
and the relatives of the child sum-
moned.
The school adjoins st. Johns
church, where the kellner family wor-
shipped
As the coroner's investigation was
pursued it became evident that the
girl had met her death in horrible
manner. Her skull was crushed and
practically every bone in the body was
broken and charred.
The coroner said it was evident that

THE WHEAT PIT
SEES ANOTHER
EXCITING D AY
BEAR RAID AT CHICAGO CON-
TiNUES AND PRICES REMAIN
LNsTEADY; PATTEN Is HELD
TO BE BIG LOSER.

Chicago, May 27.-The wheat pit
was intensely excited again today
May option at one time showed de-
cline Of 1A to points, but regained
partly the loss, rallying to 104%. The
drop In September high was 1k and
indicated a loss Of 5A since Wednes-
day. July plunged 5B in two days.
When the prospects for crops were
poor early in the season the bulls load
ed up, but the present outlook for
a bountiful crop is so good the bulls
made every effort to unload and have
been selling in immense quantities,
sensational declines being the natural
consequence.
James A. Patten, who announced
his retirement from business last
Wednesday, is said to have lost $780,
900 in Yesterdays bear raid.
Both Patten and his brother fol-
lowed up the announcement OF retire
ment by coolly dumping 100000
bushels Of 'long" September wheat
on the market. The loss averaged
about cents bushel, or in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The shock Of
Pattens action stunned the brokers,
and sent the already tumbling prices
to lower levels and created pande-
monium of wild selling by big and
little dealers.
Notwithstanding the big slice cut
out Of Patterns profits, he is still
ahead of the game, it is understood.
The loss will be more than Offset by
the large profits recently made by
him on the "short" side Of corn and
the cotton plunges, which netted the
Evanston operator nearly $75O,0OO on
sales made last Saturday of $4,000
bales in New York

ATTORNEY FOR
P|NCHOT SUMS
UP HIS CASE
BRANDEIS LAUDs OUSTED GOV.
ERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND OFFl-
GERS AND HELD BALLINGER
WORKED AGAINST PUBLIC

Washington, D. c., May 27.-Attor-
ney Brandeis delivered his summing
up address before the Ballinger-Pin-
chot Investigating committee today.
He pronounced CLAWS the ideal pub
lie servant and Pinchot, "a
man Of character so high as to be
even above suspicion of self-seeking."
He reviewed Bal1inger's alleged intl-
mate connection with capitalists IN
terested in Alaska lands. Carrying
the intimation that this connection
was not for the public good, Brandeis
called attention to these wealthy
claimants remaining undisturbed as
to the validity of their claims while
those Of residents of Illinois and Mich
igan were investigated, and asked IT
that was mere coincidence. Bran
deis defended the action of the stenog-
rapher, Kerby, in making public the
Lawler memorandum and said the
president in sending the letter con-
demn1ng CLAWS was misled by the
statements only Of Ballinger and
Lawler.
Refers to Alaska Coal Claims.
Brandeis declared that Of 461
Alaska coal claimants whose ad-
dresses were secured by the special
agents, 356 appeared to be residents Of
the Pacific coast and 1854 lived in
Seattle, Ballinger's home city.
Among these claimants" he said,
were men Of the greatest influence
in the state, financially and politically
and among these were friends and ass
sociates of Ballinger. While these
Pacific coast claimants remain un-
disturbed by further inquiries into
the validity of their claims most OF
the others, those residing In Illinois
and Michigan were, on Sent. "a, 1907,
directed to be thoroughly investigated.
Investigate Only Eastern Claims.
Was II a coincidence that the in
vestigations Of Special Agent Jones in
the summer Of 1907 into the Cum
ningham claims stopped shortly after
Ballinger returned to Seattle? Shortly
after an agreement between the Nor
gan -Guggenheim Alaska syndicate and
the Cunningham claimants which rem
dered an early issue of the patents
important. Was it coincidence that
an active inquiry was undertaken in
to the claims Of residents Of Illinois
and Michigan?"
Then followed a long consideration
of the Cunningham claims and Bal
linger's alleged irreconcilable afti-
davits in connection with them Bran
deis persisted in connecting Ballinger
as an interested party with the big
claimants either because Of personal
or political friendship.
Pepper Sees Taft Deceived.
Attorney Pepper addressed the COM
mittee on behalf of Pinchot. He re-
viewed the testimony and claimed it
sustained the contention that Bal
linger was responsible for trouble In
the interior department, that the IN
terror department showed a lack OF
fidelity to the public interest and that
the president had been deceived as to
the real significance Of what was
happening in the interior department.
Pepper insisted Ballinger was unfaith-
full to the public interest in his hand
ling of power sites, forests and coal
lands.
