Not Worried by Murder.

The Washington police are making slow progress in clearing up the mystery attending the murder of James Seymour Ayres, the young census clerk from Michigan who was shot to death in the Kenmore hotel Wednesday morning. They are convinced that Ayres was shot by another guest of the Kenmore hotel, that the murderer was probably a man who felt that he was avenging a wrong and that a woman was mixed up in the affair, but that is as far as their investigations have led them.
