ADMIT EVIDENCE IS
CIRCUMSTA NTLAL
A Negro Is Held For Girls
Murder, but Search Is
Not Abandoned.

Denver. Colo. Aug. 14.-Admitting
that only circumstantial evidence had
been secured to connect John Feather
stone, a negro. with the murder of Miss
Signe A. Carlzen last Friday night in
Montclair suburb, chief Of police Felix
O'NeiI today declared that the investi-
cation of accusations against the negro
was only one phase of the police
search for the murderer Last night
and today agents OF district attorney
Willis v Elliotts Office were known to
be actively pushing a separate in
vestigation, the nature and scope Of
which was guarded closely.
No information had been received by
the police early today to confirm the
statement of Lem Blake that he had
known John FeatnerStOne, alias Peter
Dillon. in Oklahoma City, or that the
prisoner had served terms in the Okla
hOma and Texas penitentiarieS. ASSur-
anceS were given. however, that this
phase of the case would be investigated
thoroughly.
It was Understood that Featherstone
would be subjected to another rigorous
sweating today by the police. The
statement of chief of police O'Neil re-
vived the belief that the police still
are searching for the stranger who was
reported to have accOSted II year old
OlEa Kaiser near the scene of the
crime early Friday evening.
Strong Clues Against Negro.
Although the police claim to be in
possession of information that John
terday as a suspect in the mystery sur
rounding the assault and murder OF
Miss Signe A. Carbon, whose mutilated
body was found in a lonesome spot in
South Montclair last Friday night,
served time in the Oklahoma and Texas
penitentiaries, they admitted tonight
that while circumstancial evidence was
strong against the negro they were
following other clues which they hoped
would result in the arrest Of the muir
derer within p hours.
Late yesterday detectives detailed on
the case discovered remnants Of burnt
clothing near the shack where Feather
stone lived. Tomorrow morning they
will be submitted TO a chemist to de-
termine whether spots on some Of the
remnants are human blood.
Lem Blake, a negro, today Identified
Featherstone as negro he had known
in Oklahoma City by the name OF
Peter Dillon. Blake told the police
that FeatherstOne, or Dillon, as he
was then known, was convicted Of as
saulting his step daughter and served
time in the Oklahoma penItentiary.
Later Blake said he had served
period for murder in Texas
The most tangible clue now IN
possession of the police is the descrip-
ton of a white man as given by
II year old girl living in the vicinity
of the murder.

portant thing 10 learn was whether the
conduct of the war department was
guided by a hint" from somebody out
side. Mr.. Stimson said nothing had
been found during his administration
that warranted disciplinary action" in
Mr.. stimson said he considered the
conduct OF Gen J Franklin Bell md
Brig Gen. Clarence Edwards, in
handling the papers in the case, highly
irregular as individuals, though not as

TO be with Gen. Bell in Manila
The committee thinks it has not been
given all Of the documentary evidence
concerning Maj. Rays record and the
investigation has simmered down to

Mr. Stimson told the committee

yesterday afternoon when formal trans
fer was made of the title to the Montrose
Hotel property. at the northeast corner
Of 14th and HI streets. The sale also
served to indicate the rapid advance OF
realty values in this section. since Sy1-
vester W. Labrot, the owner OF the prop
erty, purchased it about three years ago
at price approximating $4,000. and IN
connection with this latest transaction a
deed of trust alone was placed on record
in the sum of 900. The actual pur-
chase price was said to be in the neigh.

1t is interesting to note briefly what the
Smithsonian has accomplished in the less
than seventy years OF its existence. 1t
was here that Joseph Henry, dealing with
the pure science of electrical phenomena,
laid the foundations upon which Morse
built his telegraph and Bell his telephone.
1t was here also that was born the
science of metereology, with the innumer-
able benefits it has conferred on mankind.
1t was here that the beginnings OF the
science Of fish culture were made, which
has meant so much to the integrity OF
the worlds fish supply. II was here that
that remarkable instrument, the bolo-
meter, witt. which the secrets Of the sun
are being laid bare to the astrophysicist,
was first devised. 1t was here that the
foundations of aeronautics we're laid, and
from whence the pure science OF Langley
was converted into the applied science of
the Wrights, with the aeroplane as the
result Nor is it content to rest on its
laurels. All the time it Is mapping out
new fields of activity in the world OF re-
search It is persuaded, for instance,
that earthquakes have laws OF occur

system OF observation those laws can be
ascertained and interpreted. so that In the
future they may be forecast.
Magnificent In It's simple charter Tor
the increase and diffusion Of knowledge
among men," the Smithsonian, with its
limited income of $4,000 year. has liter
ally wrought wonders. With Its activities
as a guide. the possibilities of the great
research endowments that have been and
are being made are beyond appraiscment
Some of them already have shown results
that augur charitable future, and the
story of their achievements constitute a
bright page in the history Of science.

The world scarcely realizes it's great
Indebtedness to those men and women
who from their wealth have set aside
funds the incomes from which are used
in research and philanthropic work OF
one kind or another. Little by little
those who are supported in their work
by these funds are pushing back the
bounds of knowledge and discovering new
truths and new principles which straight
way are harnessed and made to work
for the welfare and uplift OF humanity.
In fact. it has happened thousand times
that the scientist has received only ridi-
Guile for his pains and the philanthropst
ridcule for his, muniiicence.
A Langley studies the problem of fight
from its every angle and makes all man
ner of experiments to prove and disprove
the existing theories concerning it; yet
the world laughs at his mud duck and
makes so much fun of it that 1t hastens
his death before he sees the principles

man race the wonderful benefits which
must accrue from thorough under

But with all this, generous men con-

work and determined scientists continue
to investigate with tireless energy all the
clues of nature which seem to promise
new lessons and new benefits to mankind.

their lessons available to mankt;d at

. 1t is a remarkable story that must be
told of the Smithsonian Institution. 1t
conditions which make it almost seem
that it's establishment was foreordained.
George Washington once had an idea of

1t should go to his children. whether
legitimate or illegitimate. but containing
a further clause in which it was stated
that If he died without issue, or IL his
