NEW YORK POLICE AID I
New York, Aug. 24.-It would
seem as if there is to be no end to
the charges of graft and scandal
in the police department.
The police are now charged
with covering up a murder and
aiding murderer to escape.
The charges are made by DR..
Otto H. Schultze, coroner's ply
sician and a medical expert of
high standing.
The murder was committed in
the Hotel Boulevard, a Raines-
Law hotel on upper Broadway.
The victim was Miss Julia Cur
ran, a highly educated Irish girl,
who came to this country July 7,
and at once became the salaried
companion of the wealthy Mrs.
James D. Smith.
Last week, Miss Curran start
ed with the Smiths in an automo-
bile trip for Canada. She sent her
sister, Mrs. John Kinhears, who
lives in this city, several post
cards en- route.
The postcards stopped sudden
~. The next Mrs. KinnearS heard
of her sister was when the police
notified her of the dead body at
the Hotel Boulevard.
The body, when found, was
without clothing, and the clothes
in which the young woman enter
ed the hotel were missing.
The clerk who saw the girls
male companion leave the hotel,

as governess and companion. She
met Mrs. Smith, her last en-
ployer, on the boat coming over.
The reason that Miss Curran
abandoned the automobile tour
and returned to New York to her
death is not known.
The murder was discovered
two days ago. The police were
called. They reported that the
girl died of natural causes.
DR.. Schultze says the girls
body was covered with bruises
and abraSions and that she had
been choked to death.
The police report quoted DR..
Fisher of Flower hospital, the
ambulance surgeon who was
called to the hotel, as saying that
the girl had died of natural
causes.
Or. Fisher t1atly denies he ever
said that the girl died of natural
causes.
Investigation has shown that
the girl went to the hotel with a
male companion and that this
male companion escaped before
her body was found.
DIR. Schultze charges that the
police deliberately falsifed their
report either to allow the muir
derer to escape or to give the
hotel protection.

trict Attorney Whitman's prom

Boone, March 6.-The trial Of Con-
rad Klute started Tuesday during the
forenoon, after day and half had
been spent securing jury. Klute is
charged with murder in the first de-
gree for killing Ike Robertson in a
drunken bran.l at the Klute home two
nights before Christmas. Klute has
been in the county jail ever since and
at the last session of the grand jury
was indicted for first degree murder
A hard fight occurred Tuesday after
noon over the admission of the death
bed statement of Robertson. The jury
had to be taken from the court room
while the attorneys argued this mat
ter and Judge Wright overruled the
objections of the defense and ordered
the deathbed statement read to the jury
as part Of the evidence. This con-

Woman "hoiy Roller" Separated From
Offspring When Immortality Revealed
Cedar Rapids, March 6.-For the hrst
time since her arrest sunday night for
living under conditions almost un-
paralleled in the history OF the police
department, Mrs. Nellie Childers gave
way to tears when arrangements were
made to take her three children from
her and place them in the Home for
the Friandless. She asked that the
children be sent back to the house
where she had been living. and let her
two elder sons and her brother care
for them, but the authorities refused
to listen to this proposition and the
children were taken to the home short
ly before noon yesterday.
The arrest of Mrs Childers has
brought out many stories Of the ac-
tions of the association" members that
are the principal topic Of CONVERSE
ton thruout the city. The greater part
OF the membership is composed OF
women. and many Of these live in the
house in which the services are held.
Some Of these women are wives VINO
left their husbands and children to
become members of the flock. includ-
ing one woman who formerly lived on
Second. avenue west and who has
husband and seven or eight children.
1t is also said that several persons
have come to Cedar Rapids from out
side points and contributed all their
savings to the cause" and in some
cases were later aided by the county.
One of the male members OF the
Holiness association said that it was
wrong to connect the Holiness people
in any way with the Holy Rollers;
that the Holiness association has no
relation to the Holy Rollers. He also
emphatically declared that the Childers
woman and her brother are not con-
nected with the association; that they
had been expelled from the order sew
eral months ago: not because Mrs.
Childers had called a doctor when she
was sick as she had told the police. but
because Of the sin they had committed
against the morals Of society and the
crime against the country. He de-
clared the association did not counten-
ance immortality In any way.

Peculiar After Effects
Of Grip This Year.
Leaves kidneys Ia Weakened Condition


Doctors in all parts Of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
Of grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms Of grip this
year are very distressing and leave the
system in a run down condition, par
ticularly the kidneys which seem to
suffer most, as every victim complains
Of lame back and urinary troubles
which should not be neglected, as these
danger signals often lead to more seri-
Gus sickness, such AZ dreaded Bright's
Disease. Local druggists report large
sale on DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
which so many people say soon heals
and strengthens the kidneys after an
attack of grip. Swamp Root is a great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy. and,
being an herbal compound. has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is

GOES BLIND IN SERVICE
Veteran Janitor Of Sioux City School
Makes Pathetic Pies For Aid-WiEi
Be Sent to Chicago For Operation.

Sioux City, March 6.-Striving to
conceal his emotion before body of
men and to give them his story in a
straightforward manner, Henry Ing
wersen a ianitor who has served in
the Sioux City schools for about twenty
years, appeared before the board of
education with an appeal for help. Ing
wersen has almost completely lost his
teen years ago, when hot cinders blew
into his eyes, while he was at work.
His story to the board last night was
pathetic. and as he recited the straits
Of himself and his family, asserting
that from the present outlook his end
would be the poor house, he broke
down. the tears streaming down his
cheeks as he closed his appeal The
hard business like atmosphere Of the
board meeting had disappeared and
husky assurances of aid were given to
the unfortunate man.
His eye trouble has reached stage
where he can see little or nothing. He
was led to last nights meeting by his
10-year- old daughter. When the father
gave way to his feelings, the little girl
turned pale and appeared frightened,
and she looked on her father with dry
eyed terror.
Ingwersen told the board members
how the accident happened, He
blamed no one. and said 1t was purely
accidental. When the cinders first
struck his eyes it seemed like flash
of fire burning thru his head. he ex-
planned. Several years ago petition
was circulated by other janitors and
about 1896 was raised for the injured
man. which was to be used for an OPP
Grafton to restore his sight. In the
meantime, however, the Ingwersen fam
lily was in need Of care. and part of
the money was used to support them.
After he left, the board informally
discussed his case. 1t is probable that
Ingwersen will be sent to Chicago for
an operation on his eyes, which will
partially restore his sight. 1ngwersen
is suffering from double cataract in
one eye and the nerve in the other Is
dead, it was stated. A master hand
must perform the operation.

TAFT'S NOMINATION ASSURED---T r. WON'T ACCEl
Don't Vote AT AIl' Says
Roosevelt to Progressives
(By United Press Leased wire.)

CHICAGO, June 22.--Following meeting with
80 Roosevelt sssteam rolled delegates at the Con-
gress hotel this afternoon, Colonel Roosevelt issued
the following statement:
"a clear majority of the delegates honestly elected
to this convention chosen by the people to NOM
mate me for president Under the direction and en-
couragement of Mr.. Taft, the majority of the ma
tional committee by socaled steam roller methods
and with disregard of every principle of elementary
honesty and decency stole eighty ninety delegates
putting the temporary roll call sufficient num-
ber Of fraudulent delegates to defeat the legally
pressed will of the people and to substitute dis
honest for an honest majority.
''The convention has now declined 10 purge the
roll of those fraudulent delegates who themselves
sat as judges one another's cases.
''lf these fraudulent votes had not thus been cast
and counted the convention would have been purged
of their presence This action makes the convention,
IN 40 proper sense, any longer republican conven
tion, representing the real republican party.
Therefore l hope the men elected as Roosevelt
delegates will now decline to vote on any matter
before the convention do not release any delegate
from his honorable obligation to vote for me if he
votes at ALL but under the present conditions hope
he will not vote at all.
The convention composed has no claim
to represent the voters of the republican party 1t
represents nothing but successful fraud in over
riding the will of the rank and file of the party It
would be deeply discreditable to anyone to accept
the convention nomination under these circunl-
stances, and any man thus accepting would have no
claim to the support of any republican on party
grounds and would have forfeited all right to ask
the support of any honest man of any party on any
grounds
