FUNERAL TRAIN
LONCES ST KNOWN
In All the History of the
! East Side of New
York, City.
BIG TIM" SULLIVAN
Passes through the City of
New York for the
Last Time.

NEW YORK, Sept 15.-"Big Tim
Sullivan passed through the streets
of the East Side for the last time to-
day. His body was taken this morn
ing to the old cathedral OF st. Patrick,
a quarter of a mile from the rooms of
the association bearing his name,
where It had lain in state since Sat
urday. Tens of thousands of men and
women from every section of New
York; had gazed on his features there
and throng such as only the East
Side can furnish followed it today to
Its last resting place in Calvary ceme-
terry.
A delegation of congressman, head
ed by Representative Kincaid, of New
Jersey, led the mourners. Behind
them marched the longest funeral
train the East Side has ever seen.
The streets were sombre with crepe
tiraped in the shop windows. The
Timothy D. Sullivan Association sent
its thousands to march behind the
body of It's standard bearer, each man
with bit of crepe on his sleeve.
Dozens of other East Side organiza-
tions and the army of the Bowery's
poor also were in line.
Seldom has the East Side mourned
80 eloquently. mi the army that
passed by the bier, men in silk hats
rubbed shoulders with Bowery tramps
and women in silk and furs mingled
with their poorly clad sisters from the
tenements. Many wept as they
passed the coffin.

PRIEST WHO STAYS WOMAN
THOUGHT TO BE lMPOSTOI
Declares That Saint Elizabeth
Directed Him to Kill His
Alleged Wife.
ALSO ASSIGNS LOVE
AS a Reason He Killed Her
and Cut Up Her Body
in a Bathroom.
my AsseeIArEn rREsn,

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-In the hope
of brading as an impostor and pseu-
do priest, the Rev. Hands Schmidt
the alleged self confessed slayer OF
Anna Aumuller, victim of New York's
river murder mystery, authorities be-
gan today sweeping investigation of
schmidt's record.
In his cell in the Tombs with his
coat as a pillow, Schmidt slept sound
" through the night and arose this
morning to partake OF hearty break
fast. He had little to add to his al
legged confession in which he is said
to have told the police that he killed
his victim as she lay in bed, cut up
her body in the bathroom in the
apartments where he had established
her, wrapped it in five bundles and
dropped the bundles in the Hudson
river.
To the Rev. L. ]. Eyers, the Tombs
chaplain, Schmidt was said to have
made the following declaration:
Il was directed to kill her by Saint
Elizabeth as sacrifice to be con-
summated as was the sacrifice of
Abraham in blood
To the police, Schmidt is alleged to
have said:
Il killed her because loved her"
The police believe however that he
killed her because she was soon to
become mother. They believe that
the girl accepted as genuine the mar
riage ceremony through which she
went with, her alleged slayer last
February, in which he was both priest
and bridegroom.
Insanity Defense.
schmidt's defense at his trial, If he
makes real defense. probably will
be insanity. Alphonso Keelble, his
lawyer, so announced this afternoon
after long talk with Schmidt.
Il shall move to have Father
schmidt's case brought to trial at the
earliest possible moment. If | think
he is insane, shall have commits
sion examine him. If think, he is
sane will tell him the only thing to
do is to stand up like man and pay
the penalty. When I saw him today
he said, 4 do not need your services.
Let's wait until God and Abraham
have spoke. They will tell you when
to come to me-"
The lawyer said his client was
fully aware that he faced the electric
chair.

SLAYER NOT CONNECTED
WITH KELLNBR MURDER.


LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. 15-In-
vestigation here today failed to es-
tablish any connection of the Rev.
Hans Schmidt, held in New York for
the murder of Anna Aumuller, with
the murder in Louisville of eight
year-old Alma Kellner, whose mutt
lated body was found in the base
ment of st. Johns Catholic church,
December 8, 1909. The Rev. Mr.
Schmidt was visiting in Louisville as
a guest OF the pastor OF the Immacu-
late Conception church at the time
of the Kellner girls disappearance.
Members of the Kellner girls fam
lily today declare that they had never
seen Schmidt and secuted the idea
that he was in any way connected
with Alma's death. The lawey who
defended Joseph Vending, tried fol
the crime and now serving a life
sentence in prison, stated that he had
never heard Schmidt's name men,
toned in connection with the Kell-
ner murder and local police, who
had charge OF the investigation OF
the child's death, made similar
statements. The fact that the body
of Anna Aumuller was dismembered
in much the same manner as that OF
Alma Kellner caused the belief early
today that the crimes were commit.
ted by the same person.

the last so years in the state of Kan
sas, and there are many significant
facts worthy of consideration. No
senator from this state has ever sue
ceeded himself in office since the death
of Senator ingalls, andFSenator Plumb.
The people became restless and dis
satisfied with existing conditions. We
had drouthS, pestileuce and famine,
and there seemed at all times to be
going on an irrepreSsible conflict be-
tween avarice and despair. By de-
grees this restlesSness became crystal
liked and progressive, until the laws
have been so changed that today we
assemble here for the purpose of
simply recording the will of the peo-
pie of the state of Kansas at the No
vember election, when they said by a
large majority, that it was their wish
that William H. Thompson should be
elected to the United States senate by
the legislature next to convene, as
their agent and their servant, and
their representative.
About Judge Thompson.
Judge Thompson, while not a ma
tive of Kansas, came here at an early
date, and I remember him over
quarter of a century ago and have
watched his career and course almost
from boyhood. He is a man of ex-
emplary character: has always main
tanned an enviable reputation, and
has held the important office of judge
of the district court for over six years,
and will lay down the judicial ermine
untainted by any charge of fraud or
corruption. He is a young man in
spired with the enthusiasm of the
west. He is identified with our state
in such a way that no one will QueS-
ton but he will represent the
state of Kansas Loyalty and faithfully,
and that by his course and career
there during the next six years he
will honor the people who have so
greatly honored him, and it affords
me pleasure here today to express the
hope that the will of the people of
this great commonwealth, eX-
pressed at the polls last November
will receive in the vote we are about
to take, the unanimous vote of the
senate of the state of Kansas.
