STILL SEARCH
FOR M'C0RM|CK
Police are Without Clues as to His
whereabouts But sre Confident
He Will be Captured
Soon.
DEvELOP MENTs
Several Things Have Come Up In the
Investigation Of the Three Day
Old Crime That May Shed
%s. Light.

John Mccormick, wanted by the
Keokuk police in connection with the
murder of Cora May Carel is still at
large, although his pictures have been
sent broadcast, and descriptions OF
the man have been wired and mailed
to every possible place in this vicinity
where he might take refuge. me
police were without a clew to his
whereabouts today it was SAID, Dut
Chief Henneman is confident that the
man will be picked up sooner or iater
With the tragedy three days OLD
today, a number of details have de-
veloped which may throw some light
on the case, but which are still more
or less hazy and which may never be
completely cleared up, since the lips
of one of the participants IN the
tragedy are sealed in death.
There were the circumstances or
Mccormick and Mrs. Carel being en-
ployed at the same factories in keo-
kuk as one of these. At the time OF
the tragedy he was employed at a
different plant from where she was,
but previous TO this time they had
been working in the same plants.
Whether this was part of his program
of infatuation or whether an accident
remained a matter of speculation.
/ Another matter for speculation was
brought out in the inquest when Miss
Harness, a friend of the dead
woman's testified to Mccormick s
meeting them at one time, and ask
ing for minutes conversation alone
with Mrs. Carel. Mrs. Carel seemed
afraid of him then, the witness told
the coroner, and motioned to her e
stay near.
! In the light of this fact, the pohce
learn that Mrs. Carel voluntaril.
went with Mccormick Monday nigh
in a walk around the block. 1t was
she, they learn. and not Mccormick
who sent the children on ahead.
! McCormick's people feel that per
haps he is not wholly to blame TO
the crime. and the officials who ar
investigating the tragedy are tryini
to sift all of the evidence and get t.
the bottom, and find the motive.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-The total
Of republican national funds raised
since the nomination of Senator
Harding is 1914, 353S2, according to
statement issued by Frederick w.
Upham, national treasurer of the
party.
Upham said this amount was IN
actual cash, and that, while there
were some pledges still outstanding,
these would not total more than
$1Oc, 900.
being treasurer of the republican
national committee, / would have
very much regretted it If had not
been called before the senate 1nves-
tigating committee" Upham declared.
| Chairman Hays statement that
our budget is only 100000 is quite
correct. But since Senator Hardings
nomination only $944,353.S2 has been
collected for the national campaign,
as our books will show. To the best
| of nv knowledge, no single contrfbu-
ton of more than $1,000 has been re-
ceived since the national conven-
| ton"
Regarding the statement attributed
| to Governor Cox that 100000 had
been collected by the republicans lin
one place." Upham explained this
probably resulted from the fact that
! is the amount of the quota in Illinois,
but that it was for national, state
and county purposes combined, and
most Of it for the latter two.
After conference with Wilbur
Marsh, Iowa, treasurer of the demo
cratic national committee, George
White, chairman. said:
1--WE have a number of leads which
] am confident will satisfy the com
mittee as to the truth OF the charges.
Utmost confidence was expressed
by Chairman Hays and members OF
the republican national committee
who met here yesterday that not
only will Governor Cox's charge OF a
s15 O0o, 900 G. o. P. fund be disproved
by the senate investigation at Chi
cago next week, but that the result
will be disastrous to his candidacy.
Democratic leaders were equally
confident that Cox has the goods
The tremendous importance of the
senate committees action and 1ts
possible vital results were acknoWl
edged in both camps. 1t was recalled
that the final elimination OF Genera
Leonard Wood and Governor Franz
o. Lowden at the republican natona
. convention was attributable to thu
revelations made before the senate
committee regarding the size ane
character of their financial backing
In answer to the senate commit
tees invitation to supply the eVi
dence, Cox has answered that he will
do this in his own time and in hi
own way, and has indicated that h
will first give it to the public.
Democratic leaders here conten
that contributions to the state, cor
congressional, district, county an
township funds, as well as persona
expenditures by individuals, shout
be counted as part of the genera
financial effort to secure victory i
November, and that if these are il
cluded the aggregate republican fun
might reach the figure Of SIS 100000
mentioned by Cox.
