FreiuFt Commissioner Of Greater Des

Injunction.

Des Moines, June 1.-(special.) =
Commissioner E. G. Wylie Of the
Greater Des Moines committee Is
overjoyed at the action Of Attorney
General Wickersham in securing an
injunction against twenty-five western
railroads restraining them from ad-
vancing freight rates. "The United
States government" he said, has
done what no combination has done.
because the shippers could not have
put up the gigantic bonds required.
The government does not have to put
up a bond but simply filed certifl-
cate under the provisions Of the sher-
man law. think the railroads will be
defeated, but the question OF the rea-
sonableness Of the proposed new rate
will not come on for hearing until
later. It will probably be some time
before the injunction case is argued"

ROAD Will Guard
BOTH CROSSINGS
BURLINGTON SUPERINTENDENT
WILL PROVIDE PROTECTION
AT EAST END CROSSINGS

The Burlington road will provide
night watchmen for service at both
the Iowa avenue railroad crossing and
the Vine street crossing. This action
was taken as the result Of visit OF
Mayor T. ]. Phillips to Superintendent
w. F. Thiehoff. The mayor asked that
the road police the crossings at Iowa
avenue and also Vine street for the
safeguarding of persons using the two
thoroughfares.
The question of street gates was not
alluded to by the mayor but in his
visit he asked that the local superin-
tendent take the matter up with the
view of obtaining extra protection at
these two, the worst protected cross
ings, in point of traffic travelling over
them, In the city. The tragic death OF
Mrs Ann Quinlan and Mrs. Katherine
Doud at the Iowa avenue crossing
Thursday evening precipitated the
visit of Mayor Phillips to the Bur
lington general office. Market anu
Jefferson streets are better protected
than either Iowa avenue or Vine
street" said the mayor, "and l want
| to have these two streets given the
protection that they deserve, as a
very heavy travel goes over both
crossings. The proximity of the pack
| ing house and the thousands OF people
living in the vicinity south of both OF
| the crossings, as well as the hundreds
working south Of the tracks who nave
often to work over time and pass
these points at night make better pro-
lection imperative"

MISSING FOOT
OF KELLNER
GIRL IS FOUND
EVIDENCE MULTiPLIES THAT
LOUISVILLE GIRLS MURDERER
FIRST TRIED TO BURN BODY;
GIRL PRAYING IN CHURCH.

Louisville, KY, June 1.-Continuing
the search for evidence IN the kelILer
case, the police today came upon the
missing foot of the child in pile OF
ashes near the furnace in the base
ment of the church. This supports the
theory that the murderer first tried
to burn the bodv of his victim. The
child's undervest, stained with blood,
was found in closet under the steps
leading up to the main entrance OF the
church.
Alma Kellner was attacked and
murdered in St. Johns church, where
she went to attend mass, the police
are convinced.
Blood stains, or what appear to be
blood stains, were found by Coroner
Duncan and detectives on the edges OF
hole in the sacristy into which Is
poured tho holy oils after they have
been used in the services. 1t has an
opening about 14x10 inches. Chief OF
Detectives Simons and DR.. Robbins,
city chemist, found red splotches
against the lodges of stone. THESE,
DR.. Robbins said, strongly resembled
blood spots. The hole opens into the
basement.
Buried In the top of an embankment
in the church basement just under
the sacristy, the officers found little
,,auntlet glove with red star, which
the little girl wore the morning OF
her disappearance, and her handker-
chief and two mems handkerch1efs,
covered with blood.
Found Alone BY Murderer.
It is now the police theory that the
Kellner child, who was late for the
church service, was discovered alone
in the church by Joseph Vending
the missing janitor, attacked, murder
ed and her body dragged through the
church and dropped into the, base
| fment through the hole In the sacristy
The officers learn from the childs
schoolmates that 1t was her custom to
go into the chapel alone and kneel at
the altar in prayer. 1t is believed that
| it was in this attitude she was seized
on the morning Of December 8.
The police>are convinced that Wend-
ling tried to burn the body IN the
church furnace, and, failing, later
threw it into the old cistern under
one of the parish houses, where 1t
was accidentally discovered yester'
day.

MILLIONS ARE
INVOLVED IN
A RATE CASE
NORTHWESTERN MILLERS SUIT,

MANY SHIPPERS; WickERsHAM
TALKS ON RAIL INJUNCTION.

Washington, D. c., June millions
Of dollars and tens of thousands OF
people are involved In rate ques-
tion which the interstate commerce
commission was called upon to con-
slider today when it began the rehear-
ing of oral arguments in the case OF
the northwestern millers against prac-
tically all the railroads operating
eastward from Minneapolis. The COM
mission a few weeks ago issued an
order reducing the rates on wheat and
wheat products from st. Paul and
Minneapolis east to twenty-one and
one-half cents hundred pounds.
Prior to that in another case the
commission reduced the rates from
Buffalo to Atlantic from eleven to ten
cents, Strong protests filed In and
on these protests the commission
granted a rehearing. The indications
are the commission will restore the
old rates from both Minneapolis and
Buffalo,
Wlckersham Explains Suit.
Attorney General Wickersham,
speaking today regarding the steps
which led up TO LHo dumluiSIioIlon
move against the railroads, said the
first intimation he had of the condi-
tions alleged was in the shape OF an
unsupported dispatch from the west
Friday. More dispatches came anu
Representative Hubbard of Iowa gave
him a comprehensive statement of the
situation and he at once got together,
with the assistance Of the other state
commerce commission all the data
available and during the following two
days spent his time in preparation OF
a bill of inquiry. Sunday night Mr'
Grosvenor was sent to st. Louis with
the bill. Through the secrecy with
which the case was handled the gov
ernment circumvented the railroads
and obtained a restraining order with
out the latter having any chance to be
heard in opposition to the appltca'
ton. Had they been permitted to ap'
pear in opposition the result prob
ably would have been more or less
delayed and in the meantime the In
creased rates would have gone into
effect.
