FIaD BODY OF
ALMA KELLNER
IN ST. JOHNS CHURCH CISTERR
NATIONWIDE SEARCH FOR EI6RT-YEAR.
OLD CHILD OF LOUISVILLE MILLION
ARE BREWER HAS ENDED.

Louisville, KY, May 30.-The
dismembered body of little Alma
Kellner, the 8-year- old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred L. Kellner,
who disappeared from her home
here last December, was found
today in the sub basement of st.
Johns school, at Clay and Wal
nut streets, a rude attempt at
burying the remains indicating
to the police that murder had
been done.
The body was found by a
plumber who had been sent into
the cellar to stop a leak in a wa
ter pipe which had flooded the
basement. Chief of Police Lind
say and Coroner Ellis Duncan,
who came hurriedly to the scene,
announced that the body was
that of Alma Kellner, and the
chief later gave it out that he
believed it to be a case of muir
der.
One hundred children conven-
ed in several looms on the first
and second floors were hurriedly
dismissed from their classes and
sent home when the find was re-
ported to those in charge of the
school.
An examination of the body by
Coroner Duncan showed that six
ribs and one elbow were broken,
and there is possibility of
facture of the vertebrae.
The corpse was found wrapped
in piece of carpet, save for one
limb, which was later discovered
in a corner of the cellar and
buried in the clay floor of the
basement to depth of perhaps
three feet. The leak in the wa
ter pipe, the cause of which has
not yet been learned. had caused
the water to flow until the floor
was covered to a depth of about
three feet.
Louisville, KY, May 81. The
police discoveries of today show
that Alma Kellner was brutally
murdered at st. Johns Catholic
church, having arrived after the
services and was then dragged
through the church basement.
The officers are practically GER
tain the crime was committed by
Joseph Vending. the janitor who
is being searched for throughout
the country. He was reported in
New Orleans, but was not found.
The mayor of Louisville offers a
large reward for his arrest.

FLAMES DESTROY
OTTLEY POOL ROOM
AT AN EARLY HOUR TUESDAY
BUT FOR SOUND JUDGMENT or FIRE
MEN THE BLOCK MI6HT HAVE BEEN
SWEPT AWAY.

That Columbus has the best
allround fire company in the state
was demonstrated on Tuesday
morning when they responded
to call from 9th ward turned in
by Policeman Cummings about 4
o'clock. The fire was discovered
in the building occupied by the
"Pastime Pool Room" owned
by Mr.. Weights Ottley.
Immediately after the alarm
was given the fire company was
on the spot, and but for their
presence of mind and sound
judgment the entire block might
have burned. AS it was the
pool room which is a charred
mass, is the only building dam
aged to any extent. J H. Ste
vens & Son, grocerers. received
slight damage.
The building which was owned
by Mr.. p. w. Maer was partly
insured. Mr.. Ottley's equip
ment was insured for $1,000.
Mr.. Ottley conducted an order
ly pool room and bowling alley
and one of his rules was to close
the place of recreation at II
O'Clock at night. The fire must
have originated sometime after
the closing hour.
Every dollar the city spends
on the fire company is fine in
vestment, as there has never
been a serious confiagration since
the company has been so we'll or
ganized and fitted up. Chief
Carter has been with the
company ever since the disas-
trous fire that swept away Mer-
chants block, and his vigilance
and efficiency are to be com
mended.

BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS
BY DR.. W. 0. THOMPSON
Commencement Sermon Sunday Morning By Rev.
Beverly Warner Graduating Exercises Monday

sadors of society officially ap-
pointed to introduce students in
to their social, spiritual and in
tellectual heritage. Here lies
the teachers responsibility.
Teachers must have the mother
spirit and the Christ spirit.
Fortunate the child who has a
teacher who knows how to guide
and bring him into the Heavenly
vision Fhe teacher guide must
know he way. The child who has
a teacher who is uncertain about
God lis profoundly unfortunate.
The school is a place to save the
child so as to avoid the pitfalls of
life, and to prevent his being
thrown aside, in the rapidly
changing social and industrial
conditions of modern life.
In this connection possibly the
most magnificent statement that
DR.. Thompson made was that his
father was a shoemaker signifi-
cant of the American ideal that
the child of parents of any walk
of life may develop into a nation
al citizen whose voice is suspect
ed in the councils of the nation.
Dr.. Thompson mentioned this
fact to show the value of educa-
ton for adjustability in changing
conditions of industrial life. He
stated that the demand for his
fathers trade ceased and his fa-
ther was unable to work eff
GENTLY in any other line.
