Suspect
Arrested
Minneapolis Police Hold Man
in Connection With Girl
Students Staying

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 3.-(AP)
Detectives hunting the slayer of
Miss Pearl Osten, 21-year-old college
girl found beaten and strangled to
death in an abandoned shed Sunday,
had under arrest today a suspect
who answered the description of a
man who accompanied her on a
street car a short time before she
was killed.
The man, arrested in his room in
the loop district early today, refused
to make a statement and was being
held without charge. Two other sus-
poets had previously been taken in
to custody.
Children Find Body
Miss Osten's body, beaten and
strangled, was found in shed Sum
day afternoon by some children. Her
face had been beaten so badly it was
and there were fin
ger marks around her throat and
her clothing was torn and muddy.
Miss Osten came here two weeks
ago to take a music course at To-
cal college. Her home is near Peli-
can Rapids, MINI. She obtained work
as a waitress in order to help pay
her expenses. She finished her work
at 1880 a. m. Sunday, and left for
the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Melvin Langseth, where she roomed.
Believing that she had been killed
after taking street car to her
home, detectives questioned the con-
ductor of Minnehaha street car.
This conductor told them Miss Os-
ten had boarded his car in company
with young man early Sunday. He
said his attention was attracted to
her by reason of the fact tina she
wore q red bandanna dress, a cos
tune which she donned while at
work in a downtown tea shop.
The young man paid the fare"
the conductor said to police. "They
sat together and were laughing and
joking until they got off the car to-
gether."
Police Reconstruct Crime
AS police reconstructed the crime,
the girl was gagged just after she
stepped off the street car and car
ried to a woodshed just in the rear
Of her sisters home, where she
lived.
Shortly after the time Miss Osten
is believed to have been slain, two
men, one a negro, the other drug
addict, were arrested in stolen
Police held them on
suspicion but they were cleared of
implication in the crime after de-
tectives had checked their move
ments Saturday night.

JOHN DALZELL
OF CONGRESS-
FAME IS DEAD
Man Who Once Was Power in
Republican Politics Sue
cumbs to Long Illness

Los Angeles, Calf, Oct. 3.-tR)
Dalzell, known for years as
the Father of the House of Repre-
sentatives," while he served in con-
gress as representative from
Pittsburgh, Pa, died yesterday
after lingering illness at the home
of his son, Samuel Dalzell of Alta
media, Calf.
Once a power in Republican poll
tics and one Of small group that
had the house OF representatives
under its thumbs, John Danzell had
almost become a memory years
before his death. The Roosevelt
tide of 1912 swept him from his
vantage point, and he passed at
once completely out Of the public
eye.
One of big Four"
In the heydcy of his power, dur
ing the first decade of this century,
Mr.. Dalzell was not only the speak
er's right hand man, but with Ding
ley, Payne and Cannon had come to
be known as one of a big Four
that ruled the House and shaped
legislation with an iron will. In his
later years he lived almost in Sc
clusion in Washington, never visit
ing the capitol, and seldom seeing
his old-time friends or appearing in
any way in public matters.
The almost over night change was
the more remarkable because the
Dalzell Of the old days had been a
forecful orator, a skilled palriamen-
tartan, a clever political general,
and a charming conversationalist,
much sought after socially. He
made his special mark in legislation
in connection with tariff bills, but
as member and later chairman of
the all-powerful rules committee
under Reed. Henderson, and Cannon
he held whip hanL over the legis-
lative program generally.

ial of dozens Of the victims of the
storm.
A number Of cases have been
found of injured persons who re-

Missouri River division Of the 500
