New York, Aug. 12.-This week
promises to unrayel much, IL not all
the mystery that still surrounds the
killing of Herman Rosenthal. the
gambler, who was shot down in front
of the Hotel Metropole, nearly a
month ago. With the coming of Sam
schepps from Hot Springs, Ark, and
a confession from Jack Sullivan. the
district attorneys office prepared itself
today, for new and important evidence
that would corroborate the confession
of Bald Jack Rose, that Police Lieu
tenant Becker instigated the mur-
der.
Schepps, at Hot Springs, already
has indicated that he may confess
everything he knows Of the murder.
'T am the keynote of the whole sit
tIation," Schepps is quoted as saying.
"If / talk it will reach a long ways"
Schepps, according to Rose, rode in
the murder car up town, and later
paid the gunmen for their work. The
public prosecutor has sent an officer
to bring Schepps to this city, and has
also requested the Hot Springs off,
cials not to turn their man over to
any one, without instructions from
the district attorneys office. District
Attorney Whitman wants his own
men to see Schepps, before the New
York police get to him.
The aIdermanic investigation COM
mittee was scheduled to meet this
afternoon to select its counsel.
The public prosecutors office is
said to have obtained information
that Becker has accounts in no fewer
than eight banks in this city, and it
is reported that just before the mur-
der of Rosenthal several thousand
dollars had been withdrawn.
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
erty said today he proposed to inves-
tigate the story of Sam Schepps, that
the police found him in the Catskills
and failed to arrest him. Dougherty
said he would break" the detectives.
If they were found guilty.
Schepps, in his story of his fight
from the Catskills, where New York
detectives were searching for the gun
man, is quoted as saying: I'm Sui
livan county, was asleep I'm a gym
nasium, when FIVE New York detec-
tives, that knew, came in and lifted
the cover from me.
zone asked me who / was, and
grinned. said my name was Smith.
and grinned right back.
"They went away, after kindly re-
placing the cover. Half an hour
later, was on my way to Buffalo. ,
From Buffalo, Schepps said he went
to Hot Springs.

MUSIC TEACHER
SLAIN in DENVER
BODY OF GIRL FOUND IN cLUMF
OF WEEDS-AX USED BY
MURDERER.

Denver, Aug. 12.-That a degenerate
with a homicidal mania resides in the
vicinity of the spot where Signe Amelia
Carlzen, a 25-year- old music teacher,
was found murdered today, was ad-
vanced tonight by the police after a
fruitIess all day search for the man
who slew the girl.
After twelve hours of work by a
score of detectives on the case, the po-
lice admitted tonight that they were
no nearer a solution than when the
girls body was found lying in a
clump of weeds and covered with
blood early today. Half dozen sus-
poets were examined by the police,
but all were released when they ac-
counted for their movements last
night.
The murder was the most brutal in
the recent history of Denver. Miss
CarIzen's body was found fifty feet
from a roadway by d. A. Talcott, who
was looking for his horses on the prai-
rie. The face and limbs were covered
with blood. Across the forehead deep
cash, six inches in width, showed every
indication Of having been inflicted
with a sharp cleaver or broad bladed
ak. On top and in back of the head
were three other similar gashes and
the cleaver, after cutting the flesh,
had crashed through the skull and
gone into the brain.

PREHISTORIC
REMAINS IN n. D.

Beach, N. D., Aug. 12.-In com
munication recently received by Pro-
fessor Nelson in response to let
ter written to r. A. Tiffany, of Mar
marth, on whose place was recently
found portions of the skeleton Of a
prehistoric mammoth, Mr.. Tiffany
gives some interesting information re-
garding his find.
Before describing the present find,
Mr.. Tiffany goes on to describe the
discovery Of certain fossilized remains
discovered about two miles from the
present find, when a skeleton was dis
covered in a creek bed, one leg bone
of which measured four feet and -four
inches long, nine inches wide and six
inches thick, and which measured
eighteen inches across the joint The
shoulder blade was three feet across
and the length of the leg to the top
of the shoulder blade was eighteen feet.
Portions Of the vertebra and other
bones were also found, but crumbled
when exposed to the air.
The present discovery was made on
a hill about three-fourths OF mile
from where the first remains were
found, and are apparently those of a
smaller animal as the joint to cor
respond with the one described above
was fourteen inches across. Mr.. Tiff
Idmy BLdLeS LnaL ne mas bOulS OL the
rib bones together with either toe or
nail bones, which, he is in doubt. He
thinks all of the skeleton, with the
possible exception of the skull, which
has not yet been discovered, is pres
ent. He relates travelling over a strip
of country located about two miles from
his place and which extends for ten
miles which is solid bed of fossil sea
shells, relics of an age when the
mighty deep once claimed the entire
upper portion of the Mississippi val
ley. Cephalopods, scaphites and marins
gastropods of the lower crustacean
forms are here found in abundance,
together with other forms which from
description alone cannot be classi-
fed without more extended examina-
ton of the fossils in question. One
peculiar circumstance is that quaint
ties still glow with the many-hued
effulgence of the rainbow.

GIRL COMMITTED
TO REF0RMATORY
GIRL W4o FIGURES PRoMlNENT-
LY IN SENSATIONAL CRIMINAL
CASE HAS BEEN COMMITTED
TO STATE REFoRMAToRY AT
MANoAN-PRovED UNRuLY.

The 17-year -old girl who figured
quite prominently in one of the most
flagrant criminal cases ever tried in
North Dakota courts and who has
been kept at the childrens home in
this city awaiting second trial of
the case in which she is the complain
ing witness against her father, has
been committed to the state reform
atory at Mandan on account of her
somewhat unruly conduct.
The case in which the young girl
is the central figure startled the
whole northwest about a year ago, at
which time the father was found
guilty and sentenced to a term in the
penitentinary. His attorneys moved
for new trial and later appealed to
the state supreme court, which
granted the plea.
The girl was brought to the chill
dren's home in this city to await the
new trial. She disliked 1t there and
ran away. After search was made
for her she was found and lodged In
the county jail for some time. Then
she was again placed under the juris-
diction of the children's home, where
she remained until recently.
Al second disappearance of the girl
from the home caused Sheriff Boyle
and his deputies a wild goose chase
after her. When found again the girl
put UP quite fight. She proved quite
unruly and insubordinate.
On her return to the city she was
brought before Judge Pollock, who
committed her to the state reforma-
tory. Sheriff Boyle took her out to
Mandan Saturday, returning himself
yesterday afternoon.

FEARING run, BANK
ROBBERY KEPT DARK

New York, Aug. IA striking
commentary on present crime condi-
tions in New York was afforded to-
day in the discovery that one of the
most sensational bank robberies in a
decade occurred two months ago in
the lower part OF the city. In the rob-
berry, about which an impenetratable
cloak of mystery had been thrown, a
band Of crooksmen entered the vaults
of the downtown Institution and took
$4,000 in bills of large denominations
If they had displayed the same quail
tiles of patience that enabled them to
drill through a thick ceiling and steel
fiooring, they could have procured
$3,000,000 in cash, which was locked
behind the steel door of a combination
safe within the vault.
News of this robbery has been with
held from the police and other public
officials, one reason being that the
banks board of directors feared a
run on the bank.
