SCHULTZ NO SUICIDE,
IS BELIEF OF POLICE
Reilly, His Victim, improves,
But Is Not Yet Out
of Danger.

Having found nothing on the outskirts
OF the city to indicate that Detlef n
Schultz, alleged assalant of Francis A
Reilly, had committed suicide, the police
today are renewing their efforts to brinc
about the mans capture Nothing has
Vet been accomplished by the sending of
descriptive circulars to all parts of the
world. although the police are satisfied
that the circulars will yet play an i'm
portant part in the capture of the stenog-
rapher.
1t was due to the sending of such cir
cuars that the arrest of Frank Funk, 4
murderer, was effected some years ago

make his capture an easy matter

day making d study of the mysterious

the country and investigated similar
crimes, and the one under inyestigat ton IN
this city appealed 10 him as being one for
an instructive study.
MIR. Macdonald called at police head
quarters this morning and saw the act
ing chief of detectives. The latter
turned him over to Detectives Weldon
and Burlingame and they related all
the circumstances surrounding the
shooting as they had learned them dur
ing the investigation of the case.
Reilly Is Improving.
Encouraging news came from Cas-
ualty Hospital this morning about the
wounded man. He spent another rest
full night and seemed greatly refreshed
this morning. II is said he was able
to take small quantity of solid food
yesterday and it caused him no un-
easiness
Attending physicians are insisting
upon the patient being kept absolute
ly quiet, his mother being the only
person admitted to the sickroom, and
she remains only few minutes when
she visits there. 1t is probable tina
the police will be unable to get de
tailed account of the affair from the
patient before another week, ii is stat
ed, for while his condition seems ia
Norable he is not out of danger.

however, that all clues so far traced have
been worthless. and said he is now in
clined to believe the man sought has
made his way across the Potomac river

The deputy sheriff is inclined to believe
that all the one-eyed men in Montgomery

the spot where the mysterious one-eyed
laborer brutally beat Miss Beall. Four
men SO afflicted. have been placed under
temporary arrest during the search for
the young womans asSailant, but each

contestible alibi, and all have been
leased
Two Others Absolved.
Two other men, each with one blind
eye. have been reported to the deputy
sheriff, but neither of these, 1t has been
learned. could have been the man who
is wanted. as both are able to give de-
tailed account of their dongs and their
criminal assault on the seventeen-year-
old girl
Deputy Sheriff Whalen spent most of
yesterday minginS with the crowds at
the Rockville fair. thinking the man he
is after might have gone toward Rock
vile, and that crowd such as attended
the fair yesterday would be good place
for a man to hide. The deputy went to
Rockville again early this morning, in
tending to put i'm another day at the
fair in the effort to locate one-eyed
man who possibly has not yet been In
terviewed by the officers.
Miss Beall Receivers From Injuries.
Miss Beal was reported today to have
practically recovered from the shock and
injuries she received at the hands of the
miscreant. She has been unable to add

DEPARTMENT WORRIED
OVER SULTAN OF SULU'
Gen. Wood Investigating Rumor that
Ruler of JoIo Is Leading Moros
y Against Americans.

Maj. Gen. ]. Franklin Bell, command
ing the Philippine division Of the army
was called upon by the War Department
yesterday for an immediate report con-
corning the operations which Gen. Perish
ing is conducting against the Moros In
the Island of JoIo. While the press re-
ports indicate that several soldiers have
been killed or wounded, no report con-
corning the engagement has yet reached
the War Department.
Some apprehension was at first felt by
Gen. Wood, Chief of Stan, who person.
ally is familiar with the Jolo situation,
over the report that the Sultan OF Jolo
was leading the Moros. If this is true.
the Sultan, who has been relied upon bv
the American authorities. has been
guilty Of treachery, and this might mean
a serious menace to Gen. Pershing' s
command.
After further reflection, Gen. Wood
was inclined to doubt the report, plac-
ing strong faith in the old Sultan of
Sulu." with whom he had most init
mate relations in the Philippines.
Shortly after the Moros began their
present operations antagonistic to the
civil and military authorities of Jolo,
the Sultan was called in and he gave
Gen. Pershing every assurance of his
support in efforts to subdue his former
tribesmen.
These after a time proved futile, and
recently Gen. Pershing was compelled
TO take the field to force a disarma-
ment, and in this movement the Sui
tans support was counted upon as a
strong factor. For this reason Gen.
Wood is anxiously awaiting a report on
the situation from Gen. Bell.
