DON'T Want TO SEE BROTHER
Brother in Hotel in Chicago Declares
Plan Is Not Satisfactory-Co
tions Surround Dead Man Found
In the Pike River Here.

The real flesh and blood Selden Nil.
waukee today, according to a notice
served on his brother, d. Emlen Miller
of Philadelphia, by Supervisor Louis
Harms of Milwaukee, and it will be
up to the coroner of Kenosha county
to start a new investigation to deter
mine just who the man was who was
taken from Kenosha on October goth,
1914 and buried as Selden Miller in
the cemetery at Philadelphia. The
real live Selden Miller is however, ad-
verse to publicity. He does not care
to meet his brother or any of the MEM
bers of the family face to face and
talk the matter over, but if there are
any papers to be signed he is willing
to take look at them. 1t is said that
the papers which are urgently await
ing the signature of the man who was
supposed to have been drowned in Pike
River here, relate to the distribution
of an estate Of two hundred thousand
dollars, the bulk of which is tied up in
twenty-five duplex fat buildings in
Milwaukee. The Miller mystery seems
to be in excellent shape for continu-
alton, however, as it is said that the
relatives want to see Miller rather than
make any agreement with some other
people who may act as his agent.
Kenosha officials are still unadvised
that the body taken to Philadelphia
and although this city would properly
be expected to have a considerable
part in the rather sensational story
nothing has been heard of any Of the
facts in relation to the story. The To-
cal officials still insist that the brother
of Selden Miller was very well salts
fed with the Identification Of the body(
in Kenosha, but that he was very anxi-
Gus to keep all facts in connection
with the Identification and the ship
ment of the body secret.
eff D. E. Miller will leave what
ever documents he has for his brother,
Seldom, at the south side branch of the
Marshall and Ilsley bank, or at the
home of James Morgan, AS Madison
street. or at my Office at 542 National
avenue" according to Supervisor
Louis Harms, who said he is acting
for Selden Miller, Sunday night, "we
will produce his brother.
"Selden Miller is in excellent health.
He declares that under no circum-
stances will he have anything to do
with his brother, and has authorized
us to make this announcement. IF the
papers for signature are left at any
of the places mentioned, D. Z. Miller
will find them signed by the proper
party quickly enough, and he can then
return to Philadelphia. Without this
signature, I understand the distribu-
tion of the large estate will be held up. )"
Supervisor Harms said he was not
at liberty to make known the where
abouts of Miller, or the reason he re-
fuses to meet his brother. Mr..
Harms admitted, however, that he is
in Wisconsin
D. E. Miller was in the Hotel Ma
iestic at Chicago on Sunday night, and
when informed that arrangements had
been made so that he could obtain
the desired signature, he declared
the proposition was not satisfactory,
to him.
'FT have come to see my brother
personally" he said. "The legal
paper I carry requires that he sign it
Immediately. I have information that
he is in the vicinity of Milwaukee, and
believe / shall have the desired in
terview with him before twenty-four
hours pass"
