that the only reason they arrived

Compton Calf, july 8.--The
body of Mrs. p. Maxwell, who had
been missing three weeks, was
found under a sanitarium here to-
day.
Coroner's deputy, who investi-
gated, said she had evidently
crawled under the floor Of the
building when 1t was being repaired
about two weeks ago and had
starved TO death. She was at the
sanitarium because Of a mental
condition.
When she disappeared search

about 80 years old.

fore the explosion occurred.
Texas rangers, a sheriff's posse
and railroad officers are scattered
over the country, seeking trace OF
the mysterious stranger.
Died From Gunshot Wound.
The body Of the dead engineer
was taken to Maria, Tex, where
the inquest was held, the verdict
being death from a gunshot wound
inflicted by some person to the
coroner unknown. Fireman Rob-
ertson told the coroner both he
and the engineer had noticed q
man riding a few cars back from
the engine. Thinking he was a
tramp stealing a ride they paid lit
tie attention to the man, though
t noticed him several times af-
ter train left Alpine.
Friends of the dead engineer
and officials of the railroad say
he and the fireman were the best
Of friends and, so far as known,
neither had an enemy In the
world.
BohlE.an, In point of service, was
one of the oldest engineers on the
Southern Pacific lines. Both he
and the fireman resided at San
derson, Tex, where the engineer
was the owner of a picture thea
ter and hotel.
Railroad Mems Theory.
Railroad men advance the
theory that the murder was COM
mitted by one familiar with the
operation of the locomotive, point
ing to the fact that the injectors
which supply water to the boiler
had been cut off, which was tho
immediate cause of the explosion.
Officials confessed themselves at a
loss to find a motive for the crime.
No threats had been received by
the company and they knew of no
employe or ex-employa
who possibly could be connected
with the deed. No attempt had
been made to loot the train and
seals on all cars remained un-
broken.

Less than a score of senators

Despite the pleadings of
the secretary of the treasury;
despite the earnest plea Of the
president not to enter into new
fields of expenditures this
congress has appropriated
millions to go into new enter
prises. It appears this con-
gress seems bent on spending
