The Rev. w. w. Van Arsdale. pastor OIL

pressed the opinion that May Elosser nad

Van Arsdale replied that he had consulted

an amount sufficient to poison person
could not be inhaled in the room III whlch
the couple were found.
That a Jealous woman had more TO DO
with the poisoning of the couple than mas
vet been brought TO light is the theory not
only of many citizens Of Cumberland but
even OF the chief of police, Harry irvine;
his assistant, John j. Treiber; the entire
detective department, Pinkerton de-
tective and States Attorney Robb and his
co-workers. And upon this theory the en-
tirs police department Is working.
The chief of police says that the mystery
will not be solved until an arrest is made
or until the members OF the Elosser family,
who, he says, did not tell all they knew
ebout the tragedy at the Coroner's inquest,
explain the condition Of the parlor when
the bodies OF Miss Elosser and Twigg were
found.

TO RESTRICT EMIGRATION
German Regulations Unpopular
MAY Not Be Enforced.

Berlin, Jan. S.-The German government
nut into force on January l regulations ue-
signed to restrict emigration and the re-
turn OF emigrants by way of non-Gerinah

to favor Bremen and Hamburg. Attention
Is called here to the fact that strong op-
position TO Germany's action has arisen in
Rotterdam, where emigrants to the United
States amount to fifty thousand yearly Tor
the most part arriving at that port through
Germany.
Berlin commercial circles also are oil the
opinion that certain American railways
which propose to establish transatlantic
connections will energetically oppose Ger
