PASSPORTS AT MILLENNIUM
George Bernard Shaw Also Thinks
Souls Will Have Numbers.

George Bernard Shaw furnished a
little sketch of the coming millennium
in recent London lecture. He said
that every man would have number
and name, every man would carry
about his passport and his photograph
on that passport. and every man would
be liable to be called upon by rep
resentative of the state to stand and
deliver and show who he was and
what he was doing or what he was
not doing and why he was doing it.
He also observed that the world
might have any amount of inequality
of intellect, but he would let every
body have the same income as nearly
as possible. Everybody should have
life income of $500 a year. The
consequence would be, Mr.. Shaw ad-
mitted, that every one would have to
earn his living.

PROFESSOR KOCH IS DEAD
by Disease of the Heart at
Baden Baden.

Baden Baden.-Prof. Robert Koch,
the famous bacteriologist, died here
from a disease of the heart. He
was born at Klausthal, Hanover, De-
cember IL, 1843. Professor Koch be-
came distinguished as an investigator
of micro-organisms, but probably
gained most renown as the discoverer
of the bacilli of tuberculosis and chol-
era. He was graduated in 1866 from
the University of Goettingen, and
while a practitioner at Wollstein be-
gan his researches in bacteriology.
His first writings, covering investiga-
tions of anthrax and the aetiology
of traumatic infective diseases,
marked an epoch in medicine and
placed bacteriology on a scientific
basis. 1t was in 1882 that Professor
Koch first announced his discovery of
the bacilli of tuberculosis.

GIRL is F|ENDISHLY SLAIN
MuTlLATEp BODY OF ALMA KELL-
NER FOUND IN CELLAR
Almost Every Bone In Her Body Is
Broken, as Well as the Head
Suspicion Points to Janitor.

Louisville, Ky.-The body OF Alma
Kellner was found at $3.50 o'clock
in the morning in the cellar of
st. Johns parochial school, five blocks
from the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Fred F. Kellner. The flesh had
fallen from portions Of the body,
which was encased in a piece of car
pet, sewed together lengthwise. An
examination showed that the child had
come to her death at the hands of
some fiendish murderer who had taken
the body into the cellar through
trap door after wrapping 1t up in the
carpet. Almost every bone in the body
had been broken, as well as the head.
Part of the skull and limbs had been
SCARED, as though they had come in
contact with fire, and there was evil
dence of quicklime having been ap-
piled to the body.
The finding of the body of the little
girl, eight years old, who never re-
turned to her home after leaving to
attend mass at 9:45 o'clock on the
morning of Wednesday, December s,
clears the first link of the mystery
only to lead on to another, which may
prove even more baffling than did the
disappearance of the child. This Sec
ond link is to find the murderer.
Joseph Vending, 81, who was janitor
of st. Johns Roman Catholic church
at the time Alma Kellner disappeared,
is a person whom the police of Louis

word.
1t is believed that the Identification
of the body as that Of Alma Kellner
has been made complete. On account
of the decomposed state of the remains
this was at first difficult. However,
strands of hair which have been
washed are declared to be the same
tint as little Alma's hair and shoes
| the same size as that worn by the lit
| tie girl add to the Identification. The
body was found by Richard B. Sweet, a
plumber, who was pumping water out
of the cellar. The ground underneath
the body had been scooped out to a
depth of six inches, making shallow
grave. DR.. Ellis Duncan, the cor.
oner, completed his examinations.
This showed that an effort had been
made to do away entirely with the
body, partly with quicklime, and, il
seemed, by fire. All of the ribs were
broken from the vertebrae, the right
foot was separated from the body and
was found in a shoe, which lay along.
side. The left foot was missing. The
lower bones of the right leg were
broken about half way down from the
knee.
Mrs. Lena Vending, wife of Joseph
Vending, the missing janitor who is
suspected of numbering Alma Kellner
was arrested, charged with being an
accessory to the murder.

TAFT IS HURT OVER ROW
PANIED AT CRITICISM OF SOUTH
ERN HOSPITALITY.
Writes Letter to Representative Taw-
ney of Minnesota About Dispute
Over Travelling Expenses.

Washington, d. C.-President w. Fl.
Taft has written letter to Repre-
sentative Tawney of Minnesota, ex-
pressing his grief, pain and distress
at the dispute that arose in the house
over the question of money for his
travelling expenses. The house finally
passed the measure making the Gus
tomary $4,000 allowance, but that
part making the allowance "imme-
diately available" was stricken out
and the money will not, therefore, be-
come available until July 1. Taft's
letter:
My Dear Mr.. Tawney-I am deeply
grieved over the phase which the discus
sion of the appropriation for the travelling
expenses of the president took. think 1t
is legitimate argument In favor OF such
an appropriation that congressman and
many others press the acceptance OF invi-
tations to visit their sections and dis
tricts, because the urgency of such re-
quests indicates 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 that
the acceptance by congressman OF the
presidents invitation to travel on the
train with him in their respective DIS
tricts or states was reason why they
should not vote their free opinion on the
question of such an appropriation Is to me
most painful one. In travelling upon
the train they were not receiving my hos
pitality-they We're only making n little
more elaborate the cordial welcome which
they as representatives of the districts
wish to give.
| The feature of the discussion, which
was especially distressing to me, was n
suggestion rejecting on southern hospi-
tality. The intmation that somewhere in
the south board was charged has no foun-
dation in fact, and 1 never heard 1t In
timated until l saw 1t in the morning
papers.
In all my experience, and l have en-
joyed the hospitality of many sections and
countries of the world, never had more

come that / had in the southern states

puts me in the attitude of a critic of that
hospitality gives me great pain.
