ARRESTED ON A
SERIOUS CHARGE.
Rev. Ferdinand Walser, a Priesty
Charged With the Murder
of a Woman.
EXCITEMENT. AT LORAIN, O.
Entire' Police Force of tke City Ordered
oriDaty to Prevent Violence to Ac
cused Priest In Jail at Elyria.
Declares His Innocence. '
By Telegraph to the Morning 8tar.
Loans, O., May 2. Rev; Ferdi
nand Walser, a Toledo priest, was ar
rested shortly before noon to-day,
charged with the murder of Miss Aga
tha Relchlln. Walser was a guest
at the Relchlln home on Thursday
night when the crime was committed.
He has been taken to the county jail
at Elyria. The city Is In a turmoil of
excitement The entire police force
was ordered on duty to day to prevent
possible violence to the priest.
Rev. Fer inand Walser celebrated
his silver jubilee at St. Joseph's Col
lege, Benaelaer, Ind., March 15th. He
is 51 years old. On Sunday following
he was tendered a' great reception at
Scored Heart churcb. Father Walser
baa been assistant pastor of Sacred
Heart church in Toledo for about six
months.
He came to Lorain on Wednesday
last as a guest at the home of Be v.
Charles Reislin, pastor of St Joseph's
Catholic church in this city. The lat
ter was called to Kelly's island to offi
ciate at a funeral late Wednesday. At
his home he left his sister and house
keeper, Agatha, and a younger
brother, Caslmer, to entertain tfie vlsit
sng priest.
During the . night according to the
story of Rev. Walser, he heard
screams in the room occupied by the
girl, and declared that he gained the
hallway just In time to see a man dis
appearing through an open window.
When Caslmer Relchlln reached
his sister's room she was dead, her
head having been pounded nearly to a
pulp with some blunt instrument.
Bloodhounds were brought here
from Fort Wayne, Ind., early to-day
and given the scent of the murderer.
The dogs circled around the house
several times and finally went to the
room occupiedjby Rev. Walser on the
night of the murder. They again
took the trail and led the officers di
rectly to St. Joseph's hospital, where
Rev. Walser slept last night He was
found at the hospital and was placed
under arrest, the officers claiming
there were many suspicious circum
stances against him, in addition to the
bloodhounds following his trail.
Rev. Walser showed no excitement
when place 1 under arrest and declared
that he was innocent
Klyeia.0., May 2. Rev. Ferdinand
Walser has been locked up in the
county jail here. He offered bail in
any sum that might be desired, but this
the officers refused to consider.
He declared that he was very tired
and was calmly sleeping within half
an hour after being placed in a cell.
Before being locked up the accused
priest repeatedly declared his inno
cence. "Oh, my God I" he crled'what
a position to be In. I came to Lorain
to have a quiet visit and this had
to happen. I am as innocent as a
baby. I have nothing to offer in
defence. They will have to prove me
guilty."
As yet the priest has not secured
legal advice. .
Father Walser when seen by a re
porter in his cell to-night and asked
for a statement said:
"All I have to say is that I am not
guilty of any crime. I am innocent
and say that with a clear conscience.
"I am entirely blameless of any
crime. This is an outrageous proceed
ing and a disgrace. It is a disgrace to
the city and to the county. I am as
innocent of this crime as a babe in its
cradle. First they hear me tell my
story and I told it over and over again
to them. Why did they not arrest
Caslmer Relchlln, who waa also in the
house. If I had been guilty of such
a crime I would have flown from
this place and gone to some
place of hiding. If a man is guilty of
such a crime, it can be seen in the
eye and on the face. A conscience
tells its story on the face. My con
science is perfectly clear and the end
of this will show that I am entirely
innocent. All will come out right in
the end. There is a feeling against
me, I believe, because I am a priest
There always is such a feeling. This
is awful to be placed in a place of thia
kind," and he looked about his little
cell with an eye glistening with mois
ture. "The C. P. P. S., with headquarters
at Carthegena, of which I am a mem
ber, continued the priest, "will go
my bond for $50,000 if necessary.
Yes, I have been arrested before; it
was in Clinton, Mo., during the A. P.
A. war. Another priest and I had
adopted a boy and the A. P. A.'shad
us arrested on the charge of cruelty
and kidnapping the boy. We were
discharged; and the plaintiffs were se
verely lectured and had to pay the
costs. This case will turn out the
same way."
"It is stated that on the night of the
murder Casimer Reichlin went out and
got a jug of liquor at one o'clock in
the morning; is that true ? "
"No, that is not true. I will say that
I aent him out myself, but It was be
tween 2 and S in the morning and
after the crime had been discovered.
When men are nervous as such an
event must make any man, a stimu
lant is needed. I do not deny that I
sent out for It"
Rev. C. Reichlin, brother of the
dead glrl.expressed hlmselfaslneensed
at the suggestion that Rev. Father
Walser was under suspicion as being
the murderer of his sister. He tries
to carry the Impression that the dogs
were not worked according to their
Instincts.
Casimer Reichlin, the brother, who
was in the house when the murder was
committed, said he would swear that
Father Walser was as innocent as he
was himself. Both brothers are ap
parently fair In the conviction that
there ia not a bit of evidence that
will show that Father Walser is
guilty,
Mayor King, of Lorain, felt Impell
ed to cause the arrest of Father Wal
ser because of the intense feeling
against the priest County Prosecu
tor Lee Btroup laid he wanted Father
Walser to explain a few things to him
before hefcould consider him Inno
cent of the crime. Prosecutor Btrout
signed the warrant charging Rev.
Walser with murder in the first de
gree. Rev. Walser wtll be given a pre
liminary hearing before Mayor King
at Lorain probably after the in
quest which takes place at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning.

To Cure a Cold in One
For some time past the comparative
shallow depth of the water at the va
rious ports of the sea of Azof has at
tracted the serious attention of the
Russian government First class steam
era cannot secure proper accommoda
tion, with the result that cargoes have
to he unloaded .fey lighters, thus Incur
ring great expense and delay. The
strait of Kertch is only about forty
five feet in depth. At Tagonrog the
depth is only seven feet six inches, while
Marignople is Inaccessible owing to a
great sand bank, which reduces the
depth of water .to about five feet at the
maximum.
The Russian government has sought
to overcome the difficulty by dredging
the various Qfrrts, " but the results,
achieved are disappointing;' The au
thorities now propose, according to
The Scientific American,. to construct
a barrage across the strait of Kertch,
thus-raising the water level of the sea
of Azof. Tbe .width of. tbe strait be
tween the Crimean, shore and the Tus
la promontory is 10,823 feet but of
this total mvldth only a little over 4,000
feet giving an average depth of twenty-seven
feet can be utilized. The con
struction of an embankment 51,480 feet
in length is now contemplated, which
will .provide several large central ba
sins with sufficient depth of iwater to
accommodate large first clasa steam
ers. The total cost of the scheme ia esti
mated at 0,800,000 rubles, approximate
ly one-third of which will be expended
as compensation to private individuals.
The authorities propose to recoup them
selves, however, by the levy, of dues
upon all ships passing through the
strait Tbe completion of such a
scheme avlll tend materially to Increase
the shipping traffic .with the Azof porta.

Automobile goggles are a hideous ne
cessity and are pr.rt'eulaiiy obnox
ious to women autoniciiists. In or
der to provide an effective guard for
the eyes which will be somewhat more
sightly than the usual contrivance va
rious expedients have been resorl-d to,
says a writer In The Scientific Ameri
can. Paper fans or gcreenllke masks,
with designs of neatly drawn lieilds,
have been proposed by one Ingenious
artist.
But the specimens which he pro
duced, although greatly admired, were
too artistically impractical for the
purpose of the chauffeuse. Ladies
found that the faces portraits of Bern
hardt, iiejane, Yvette Guilbert and
other celebrities were wonderfully
attractive, but that they were by no
means an adequate protection when
the pace was fast and the dust flew up.
Still another artist conceived the
idea of using- beaten silver maKUs' rep
resenting the countenances of Greek
goddesses.' Although the faces of Ar
temis and Pallas "were just as pleasing
to look upon as those 6T French ac
tresses, their weight was found to be
unbearable.
A milliner now comes along with a
"creation" which springs not from any
artistic idea, but from a true apprecia
tion of what Is needed. He for it is
a man has invented a mica veil per
fectly transparent and yet absolutely
dust and air proof. The veil is tied
over the hat like the ordinary gauze
fabric and lends itself to manipulation
just as readily. That the veil should
sparkle and shimmer' fantastically in
the sunlight is by no means an objec
tion. German Substitute For Petroleum.
Consul Worman reports from Munich
that, according to the newspapers, a
Hamburg chemist has discovered a
fluid which when added to ordinary
water produces a liquid that cannot be
distinguished from petroleum. It can
be used for lighting as well as for heat
ing purposes. When burned in a lamp
.with an ordinary' wick, it gives an ex
traordinary white light of double the
strength of a petroleum tianie. The
fluid is not explosive. A company, it
is said, has been formed in London for
the exploitation of this discovery.
Two negro stable boys and thirty
two valuable horses were burned lo
death in a fire which destroyed the
