 Chopped and Burned

The theory of the police is that the foot was portion of a body that was carefully chopped and burned, pre- sumably while the house was vacant.
 The McMillans moved into the house only after all efforts to get another house had failed. They say the agent refused to rent the house with an in- spection privilege, and that they had to pay the rent down before they got the key. They say the agent hinted to them that he was forced to evict the former occupants. but gave no reason.

 hes Police of Denver.

Deny er.-The terrified refusal of an Airedale dog to enter the basement of 6 house in this city has brought to light evidence of what the police au- thoritles believe may be the clew to one of the most mysterious crimes in the history of the city. The right foot ot young white woman was found in the furnace and there was abundant evidence that the rest of the body had been cremated. Ashes from the fur nance were found buried in the soft earth under the back porch.
 A bloody corset cover, black army necktie with dark stains upon it and pieces of flannel underwear with ap- parent bloOdstains on them, were sift- ed out of the ashes and debris by the police.
 1 Dog Shows Fright.
 The discovery was made by James McMillan who rented the house and moved into 1t few days before. Nc Milan tried to put the dog in the basement, but the animal whined and refused to remain there alone, show ing every evidence of extreme fright.
 The peculiar conduct of the dog de- cided MT. McMilIan to investigate the cellar. He found the foot and imme- diately notified the police. A nasty in- vestigation by the police quickly con- vinced them that crime had been committed. The Airedale refused to accompany the police to the basement when they dug over portion of the cellar in the expectation of finding other traces of a body. No bones were found but oi|"d paper and ashes were uncovered in generous quantities. The police are trying to trace former occu-

said Senator Poindexter.
1T may be that it would be the
right thing to do for the District.
At least. If my plan were adopted
1t would be a start in the right
direction. I got a favorable re-
port on my bill from the Senate
District committee at one time.
but then a number Of the citizens
of the District came down on me
like ton of bricks. They did not
like the idea. some Of them, OF
having suffrage in the District,
and others wanted more than the
bill allows them"
The people Of the District. since
that time, have got together in
large numbers in favor Of the
national representation plan. it was
explained to the Washington senator.
Favored by Chairman Hays.
While Chairman VIII Hays Of the
republican national committee Is
making no statements at present
regarding what Is to be found or
should be found in the republican
platform. believing that the honor
Of making public the platform
should be left to the resolutions
committee, it is known that the
chairman not only Is not opposed
to the plank for national represen-
tation for the District, but will give
it friendly hand. Other national
committeeman have expressed
similar opinions.
Notwithstanding the favorable
attitude of various presidential
candidates on the demand Of the
people Of the District for voice in
their government and Of members
of the republican national COM
mittee, there remains a hard fight
ahead Of the Districts delegation
to the national convention before
the plank desired can be hoped for.
Opposition In Senate.
It Is known here that members
Of the Senate in considerable num-
bers are much averse to granting
to the District what is virtually the
status Of a state. in tho matter Of
electing representatives to Congress
and Of voting for President and
Vice President. Senator Lodge, the
republican leader OF the Senate.
has frowned on the plan. Senator
Sherman Of Illinois, chairman Of
the Senate District committee, Is
averse to the plan for national
representation. though he would
favor the election Of delegate to
speak for the District in tho House
and to serve on the District coun-
mittee.
The campaign Of education which
has been undertaken. to show the
Justice Of granting national repre-
sentation to the four hundred and
fifty thousand residents Of the
District, is bearing results, how
ever. and the question. which was
formerly an unknown quantity to the
people of--the states. is beginning
to be understood. Edward F. Cola

man, has worked increasingly for 1t.

CHICAGO. June 5.-Prominent
candidates for the republican nom
nation now in Chicago are favor
able to giving the people Of the
District Of Columbia vote for
President and Vice President.
Some OF them favor giving the
people of the District the right to
elect to the Senate and the House
Others would restrict the suffrage
to the election of a delegate or
delegates to the House, with power
to speak for the District, but not
vote.
Senator Johnson's Stand.
Leading candidates today gave
me their views on the matter OF
national representation for the
District.
Senator Hiram Johnson Of Call
fornia said he was in sympathy
with the demand of the people OF
Washington for a voice in their
government.
II would have to consider the
matter more carefully than have
been able to at this time before
discussing the details of the award
Of suffrage to the people of the Dis
trict," said Senator Johnson. But
you may say that l am inclined to
the plan. I certainly believe that
a plank should be included in the
republican platform in regard to the
matter. 1t would require legisla-
ton. of course. and the whole plan
could be worked out later"
Gen. Woods Views.
Gen. Leonard Wood said that he
has for the present put ban on
discussing questions as to what
shall go into the platform; that the
platform is a matter that will be
handled by the resolutions COM
mittee and the convention itself.
While he would not allow him.

proposal to give the people Of
Washington voice in their gov

Gen. Wood would have no objec-
tion to such a plan. and believes
that, as Americans. the residents
OF the District are entitled to vote.
Lowden and Poindexter.
Gov. Frank o. Lowden Of Illinois
frankly admitted that he has given
the matter Of national representa-

STORM SEEN BREWING
OVER G. O. P. CHAIRMAN
Mr.. Hays Finds That Lodge
and Borah Both Are
Favored. ".

Chairman Hays of the republican
nationaN committee has been in
Washington since yesterday confer
ring with prominent republicans to
ascertain the drift of sentiment
among them as to the choice Of tenn
porary chairman OF the national con-
vention. The committee on arrange
ment. subcommittee of the national
committee which meets in Chicago
the middle Of this month, will make
the selection, or rather the recon-
mendation, to the national commit
tee.
1t was said today that Mr.. Hays
found e. strong sentiment favorable
to the selection Of Senator Lodge Of
Massachusetts to be temporary chair
man.
Senator Borah of Idaho is the choice
of progressive republicans and of
those republicans who are irreconcil-
ably opposed to the league Of ma
tions. Senator Lodge. as well known.
is for the league of nations with res
ervations.
There are signs Of a storm brewing
over the choice between these two
candidates for the temporary chair
manship. The alternative sugges-
ton had been made that Mr.. Hays
as the chairman Of the national conn
mittee should be temporary chair
man of the convention. Some repub-
licans thought today that the feeling
Is 30 strong over the temporary chair
manship 1t may be carried to the hoor
Of the convention.
