Man Arrested Because He Is Believed to Know Something of the Murder. Indianapolis, June 26.-Believing that he may be able to throw some light on the mysterious murder two years ago of Miss Sarah Schafer, the Bedford school teacher, the police have
arrested William Mullex, a laborer, on charges of drunkenness and loitering, and he is being held under heavy bond. While little developed in the investigation Mullex admitted that he lived at or near Bedford until recentand that he was acquainted with some of those interested in the case that has baffled the best detectives in the country. Mullex added that he was employed on a farm where Miss Eva Love, who wrs a friend of Miss Schafer, had visand that he had met her a numof times. He said he knew Miss Schafer only by sight, and that he was at his home in Tuunelton, near Bedthe night of the murder. Can Drink When They Please. Evansville, Ind., June 26.-In the city court Judge Winfrey discharged Frank Sicilia, cafe and saloonkeeper, arrested under the Nicholson act for permitting men to drink intoxicants in the cafe after 11 p. m.

and asserted that "the whole system is permeated with fraud." Declares There Is a Combine. In support of his contentions he said that testimony taken by the commisindicates a joint ownership bethe railroads and the elevator companies to the detriment of the farmers, who are entitled to a free and open market. He then gave the names of individuals and corporations which had secured such inside privileges as to give them monopolies along various western railroad lines, the list given inthe following: The Chicago

is a large stockholder and a director of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.

He then read a number of letand quoted various statements to show that the railroad companies fasome elevators to which they are friendly, and discriminate against othwhich are not so well regarded by them, with the result that the price of wheat to the producers is far below what it should be.
Monopoly of the Grain Business.
He declared in conclusion that pracall the grain shipped into Chiover any one line goes to one dealer and expressed the opinion that these wholesale dealers are closely alamong themselves, thus constituta virtual monopoly of the entire grain business of the country.

Gardner of Massachusetts, the sponof the bill asked if 4,000 local launions asking for an educational test carried the suggestion of "bigotry." He contended that the pauperism in our large cities was directly traceable
to the class of immigrants now being

of President Gompers, of the Federaof Labor, urging the educational test, Cockran asked: "Does Mr. Gomrepresent the people who landed in the Mayflower?"

SENATOR NOT IN SERVICE
He Is Part of the Government, Says Spooner, and Proves It.
Washington, June 26.-While the senate was discussing the anti-pass provision of the railway rate bill, many senators denouncing it and de
claring that it does
not fill the bill, Spooner said that a

"I do not charge the conferrees with ignoranc," responded Spooner, "they were only tired." "We are tired all right," responded Tillman: "I am tired unto death." Spooner thought senators and repshould be included by name and said the pending provision would not include the president or fedjudges.

Tillman Says It Is on the Forehead of Certain Statesmen. Washington, June 26.-When Tillreported the result of the conferon the railway rate bill he said he could not agree to the amendment exception of pipe lines from the proprohibiting common carriers from carrying their own products. He said that on this the Standard Oil had gotten in its work. So firmly was he convinced of the instrumentality of the
Standard company in securing this change that in his estimation "every senator who votes for the conference report would have "S. O." branded on his forehead. He did not mean to vote for it, because he did not want anysaying "You've got 'S. O.' brandon your forehead, Ben Tillman." He considered the independent companies whose interests are supposed to be into be myths. Foraker contended that there was no proper analogy between a railroad and a pipe line. As a rule, he said, pipe lines are not built with the purof doing a carrying business for hire, which is not the ease with the railroads. He believed that to retain the commodity provision as it passed the house would be to confiscate the property, and that therefore it would not have been sustained by the courts.
The Ohio senator called attention to the fact that carriers by water are not regulated by the bill, which he said, does away with the argument that the bill should be made applicable to all modes of transportation.
