Alleged Murderer of Young
Girl Held, But Refuses
to Discuss Case.
BUT HIS AFFINITY TALKS
AND BY HER STATEMENTS A NET
OF DAMAGING EVIDENCE WINDS
ABOUT ALBERT WOLTER-Po-
LICE ARE BUSY.
(American News Service)

New York, March 2S.-Police records

been missing since January 10, spurred
on the authorities today in the attempt
to wrest from Albert Wolter, nineteen
years old. confession that he murder

little stenographer whose charred body
was found last Saturday.
Kate Mueller who lived with wolter
as his wife, is under arrest, as a mate

toned today. She had already made
two damaging statements against VOL

First, she says, Wolter admitted to
her that Ruth Wheeler had called on
him at his apartment. Wolter has
stolidly denied having even seen the
girl. She also declares that the gun
nysack in which the victims body was
wrapped, had lain for weeks. serving
as mat before the kitchen door of
VOTERS fiat.
In VOTERS trunk the police found
some wire, which they say is identical
with that with which the gunnysack
was bound.
The nightshirt in which some of the
girl victims hair and hatpins were
wrapped bears the initial wv" VOL
ter admits that this shirt is his.
Developments today show according
to the police, that Wolter had been
concerned in a far reaching traffic in
young girls.
Ruth Wheeler. the police declared to-
day, was smothered and, while still
living but unconscious, put into the
fireplace in Albert VOTERS fat at o24
East Seventy-fifth street, and burned to
death.
This assertion was made after coron-
er physician O'Hanlon had performed
an autopsy and found that the little
stenographer's lungs were congested
with soot
On part of the girls neck beneath

This may have a most important
bearing on the case A microscopic
examination is being made and an i'm
preston of VOTERS fingers will be
taken and comparison made. The
police believe that Ruth Wheeler was
strangled and possibly chloroformed
before the body was burned.

This City Was Damaged
Sunday Afternoon.
HAD TO DETOUR TRAINS
MANY RAILROAD MEN ARE OF
THE OPINION THAT THE
BRIDGE WAS BURNED eY IN
cENDIARIES-REPA MADE.

1t is alleged that the belief is preva-
lent among local railroad officials Of
the Pennsylvania that the burning Of
bridge No. so. just west OF the Rich
mond junction and about two miles
east of this city on the Cincinnati
line, was of an incendiary origin. The
matter is being Investigated and an
effort will be made to attach the
blame. However. it is said. the fire
may have resulted from flying sparks
from an engine, but this theory. it is
alleged. is not concurred in by the
majority of the officials.
The discovery was made yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock by gang of
section men who Immediately report
ed the matter to the train dispatcher
in this city and notified him to hold
all trains as the bridge was unsafe
for travel. Passenger train No. "a

Frank Perroll, the Brooklyn volcan-

The advance of the lava streams,

The low temperature-below the
freezing point today, at one time being
twenty-five degrees above zero-and
continued rain and snow added to the
suffering.

(Palladlum Spec1aD
Washington, March 2S.-The Post
has the following to say today:
"The impression is spreading among
republican politicians here that the In
diana republican state convention, to
be held in April, will endorse the
Payne -Aldrich tariff law, in spite of
the fact that Senator Beyeridge voted
against it. The senator says it is up
to the convention to draft the plank
as it deems best. Before he left for
Indiana Saturday, Jim Watson said
significantly. Senator Beveridge is 60
ing to write that platform. 1t Is up
to him to say whether the tariff law
shall be indorsed If it is not endors-
ed here a dangerous glitter shone
from Watson's steady blue eyes; his
jaws clamped together. OF course, the
only inference to be drawn was that
something serious would happen to the
senator in his campaign"
Senator Beveridge when shown this
story intimated that he was not pre-
pared to surrender his convictions in
regard to the tariff law.
Representative Crumpacker sent a
letter to the Tenth district convention
today In which he defends the Aldrich-
Payne tariff law. He says he helped
to frame the law as member of the
wa. and means committee; that the
increases are few compared with the
decreases: that on the whole 1t is an
improvement over the Dingley law.
He says there are some features he
cannot approve. but on the whole 1t Is

But Denial Made Today That,
the Political Situation in the
Buckeye State Was the
Main Question.
TAFT'S LEGISLATION
WILL BE SUPPORTED
BY the Ohio Congressman,
Chief Executive Is Inform
eds the President Alarm
ed by Conditions?
tAmerican News servicc)


Washington. March 2S.-Several
members of the Ohio congressional
delegation who attended the white
house conference last night. which
lasted until long after midnight said
this morning that the Ohio political
situation was not discussed. This a.
sertion may be accepted with . Ger.
tain allowance in view Of the some
what precarious political condition ex.
listing in that state as viewed from .
republican standpoint.
II is asserted by the representa-
tives who were at the conference that
nothing but President Taft's legisla-
tive program was considered. The
president said that he did not wish
the Ohio delegation to assume that ne
is attempting to interfere with the
rights of congress in the matter OF
legislation. but he had merely called
the conference to ascertain from tho
members of congress what they
the passage of the bills recommend
ed in his annual message which wers
endorsed by the party platform.
What Was Discussed.
President Taft discussed thc naval
program of two battleships. the con-
servation measures, the railroad bin.
the anti-injunction bill and the postal
savings bank bill. Nothing. however.
was said of the ship subsidy hill
which has been reported to the house.
Representative Douglas Of Ohio ex-
planned this morning that as the presi-
dent had been away from Washington
for some days he had deemed II ad-
visable to send for the delegation TO
discuss the prospects for the early
passage Of the administrations lesis-
lative program. There was q general
unaninhity of opinion. Representative
Douglas said. and the president was
assured that the delegation would
give hearty support to the measures
recommended.
Postal Savings Sill.
Another conference may be called
when the postal savings bank bill IL
reached to the house as there is . de-
cided division of opinion on this bill.
1t is virtually admitted that Presi-
dent Taft will not get just the bill he
wants.
The general construction placed ON
last nights white house conference BY
some republicans is that the president
is decidedly alarmed at the delay Of
the senate and house In pushing hia
measures through. and that he has
awakened to the fact that the outlook
for their passage Is not entirely en-
couraging.

ent time councilman-at-large, will
resign his position as councilman on

Gil as is provided by law. There are
two applicants for the position, Matt
Won Pein and Harvey Brown, both of
whom served in the council during the
past administration. Both men were
defeated at the election last November.
Mr.. Knollenberg's decision to re-
sign as councilman and move to Ok
ford is due to his wife's health not per-
mitting her to assist him in the gro
cery here any longer. Another strong
factor in causing Mr.. and Mrs. Knoll
Ienberg to decide to move from the city
is that their daughter, their only child,
lives at Oxford and they wish to be

Mr.. Knollenberg stated this morning
