which is fully believed to be that of
Alma Kellner, the Swear old daughter
of Fred l.. Kellner, and who disappear
ed from her home on east Broadway
and Jackson streets last December, was
found in the sub basement of st.
Johns Catholic schol at Clay and
Walnut streets, FIVE blocks away, this
morning,
The condition OF the corpse indicates
that it had been in its damp hiding
place for several months. The decay
ing torso was wrapped in a piece OF
carpet. Further investigation developed
the fact that rude attempt to bury
the body had been made, indicating
that the child had been murdered and
that the slayer or slayers had sought
to hide their crime in the darkness of
the cellar.
Alma Kellner disappeared Dec. s, and
from thar time until the body was
found this morning no word had been
heard concerning her.

But all of them under the same old stars
And stripes and the old flag snapped and flew
With never a thought Of the gray or blue.

When the drumbeat strikes and the muster roll,
When God shall read from the judgment scroll,

And what IL his garb was gray or blue;

Or whether his garb was blue gray.
And mingles tear with the glistenng dew,

CASUALTY COMPANY ACCUSED OF
CROOKED WORK IN OR
GANIZATION!
PRESIDENT OF COMPANY MAKES
VIGOROUS DENlALs OF
ALL SPECIFICATIONS.

Chicago, April 16-FoIlowing a re
port issued by John f. Roche, of the
West Virginia insurance department,
that prior to reorganization of the
Consolidated Casualty company,
which is said to have 1000 stock
holders in many states, Robert b.
Armstrong, former president, issued a
statement yesterday denying the
charges of Roche that, he with other
managers of the company, had made
false returns to the West Virginia in
surance department or made false
entries in the books and that of $780,
GEO collected in q months by the
company less than 100000 remain.
Armstrong says there has been an
effort made two years by competitors
to assassinate the company for re-
fusal to maintain rates and join the
surety trust" He denies all eharg
es of irregularities and says that the
Roche report is incorrect and mislead-
ing
The administrative offices of the
company are in Chicago though the
company is chartered in West Vir-
ginia
Roche's report says that although
it was provided that the directors
mist be stockholders, the following
directors names did not appear on
the books as stockholders: NJ. H.
Boutelle, Minneapolis; C. H. Burras,
Mitchell D. Follansbee, Chicago; H..

strong overdrew his salary which was
1000 month. Armstrong denies
these charges also.
Roche also says that Huttig loaned
the company a note for $4,000, which
was shown as an asset in the Deem
Der statement. Armstrong says that
the note with collateral was taken i'll
exchange for other security, which
under the contract made with Huttig
were due the company at the time and
had the company been allowed to COM
plete the contract the note would
have been exchanged for other securi-
