| R BILL PASSED
Only Six Democrats Voted for the
Measure.

Washington.-The Senate passed
the administration railroad bill Friday
night. It has been under consideration
for more than twelve weeks, and prac-
tically no other business except ap-
preparation bills were considered in
that long period. Only twelve votes,
all of these by Democrats, were re-
corded against the bill.
The practical unanimity with which
the measure was passed was due to
the radical changes made in the meas
ure from the form in which it was
drafted by Acknowledgement Wicker
sham. All of the insurgents" who
opposed many features of the original
bill voted for it.
Through the elimination of pooling
and merger sections and by reason OF
the adoption of many amendments IN
the interest of shippers the progress
sive Republicans claimed to have won
a signal victory, and most of the Dem.
ocrats expressed themselves as favor.
ablbe to the larger portion of the
measure.
Had it not been for the retention OF
the sections to create a court of COM
merce, it is likely that the vote for the
bill would have been unanimous.

INCREASED COST HITS KAISER
Bill Introduced Bringing Up Allowance
Of His Majesty to 100000.

Berlin.-A semi-oficial declaration
was issued explaining the causes OF
the financial stress under which the
emperor finds himself and the require.
ments for an increase in the civil list
Of the King of Prussia as agreed upon
by the leaders Of the Prussian diet. 1t
has been decided to introduce a bill
bringing his majesty's allowance to
about $5,000,00
The public is reminded that the
Prussian crown surrendered to the
state in 1920 properties yielding at
that time nearly 100000 annually
and the value of which has been great
ly augmented since. The increased
cost of living renders the present al
lowance inadequate, the statement
says.
Each year his support of the our
theaters alone costs the emperor some
$500, 900, and in recent years he has
increased the salaries of the middle
and lower employees of the imperial
household by a total of $250,000.
He must also pprovide for the main
tenance of the households of the mar
ried princes.

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

Atlanta, Ga.-For the purpose Of ap-
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.
600, 600.
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.

CHILD MURDERER
MORE GRUEsoME FINDS POINT
TO FOUL MURDER.
Police Criticised for Not Making Thor
ough Search When Girl Was Re-
ported Missing.

Louisville.-The unraveling OF the
knotty skein of evidence confirming
only too well the theory that little
Alma Kellner was murdered in st
Johns Catholic Church, where she
went to worship on December s last
proceeded rapidly, but nothing has
been heard from the suspected ~janitori
Vending.
: The charred right foot of the child
was found Wednesday in a pile OF
ashes near the furnace in the base
ment of the church and lei it were
picked out Of the refuse two women's
handkerchiefs. This makes a total Of
five handkerchiefs found in two days
and some of them bore blood stains.
The quicklime with which the body
was covered when found was purchas
ed, it was learned Wednesday. at a
grocery, only a few blocks away. Ac
cording to the groceryman the order
for the lime was telephoned In from
st. Johns Church and the barrel OF
lime was delivered there soon after
Christmas and turned over to a wo
man. AS it was a cash transaction, nc
record was made of it and it is there
fore impossible to give the exact date
The police department is being caus
tically criticised for its alleged failure
to thoroughly search the vicinity OF
the Kellner home and st. Johns
Church at the time the girl disap
peared.
The truth has been kept from Mrs
Fred F. Kellner, mother of Alma, thai
the body was horribly mutilated when
found. Since Monday she has remain
ed within the seclusion of her room
on the border of collapse. She cannot
understand why the body was not
brought to the house or how there
should be any doubt abobut the iden
t%ifcfiation. Failing to receive a ready
answer regarding the latter, she
asked:
"Why can't you tell by the seal or
her nose?"
About a year ago the little girl cut
her nose by a fall from roller skates.

Railroad Men Call Upon Taft to EIuci-
Date His Position concernino the
Railroads.

Observation-Disclosures appeals to
the people were made here Friday by
the Western railroads and by the I'LL
nois Manufacturers Association.
The railroads submitted their brief
to "the man in the street and the
farmer" limiting hard names If the
railroads are not permitted to increase
their freight rates. The manufacture
ers tell the people not to be deceived,
as there is no danger of panic, and
lauded. President Taft for his action In
obtaining the Injunction 'halting the
proposed increase in freight rates.
On behalf Of the railroads, Slason
Thompson, head of the railroad pub
licity bureau, put forward -four rea-
sons why railroad rates must be
raised"
According to Mr.. Thompson, the
railroads in the last two years were
$22O,000,0 900 behind on maintenance;
they paid $4,000 900 ore annually
for labor; they paid 500, 100000 more
annually for interest; they lost $685.
10000 annually on passenger traffic,
with the total result that they are
"$730,O00, 900 to the bad in two years"
Railroad rates must be advanced
because many companies face bank
ruptcy if they are not" said Mr..
Thompson.
A committee of railroad presidents
l4-s
will call upon President Taft to obtain
an calculation of his position with re-
gard to the railroads association as
soon as an audience a be arranged.

SMALL CHILD MURDERED
SUPPOSED KIDNAPPED GIRLS BODY
FOUND MUTlLATED.
Every Bone Had Been Broken by Her
Murderer-child 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 .
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 one 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.
ton from the woman, whose husband
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 had gone to at
tend services the morning of her dis.
appearance.
Excitement over the case grew as
the day progressed, and the belief is
gaining that the little girl was enticed
or seized by some brute as she was
within a few steps of the church and
.aken into the dark subcellar, where
she met her death.
AS Corfoner Dungan's investigation
was pursued it became evident that
the girl had met her death in a horri-
BILE manner Her skull was crushed
and practically every bone in the body
was broken and charred. The coroner
said it was evident that the body had
been broken and dismembered and
then placed in a stove or CRATE, but
this means of disposition having per-
haps been interrupted, quicklime had
been used to aid in the disintegration.
The body was not in the fire long, 1t
is thought, because the bones were
only partly charred
