ALMA KELNER TRAGEDY.
Missouri Democrats of all factions
at a dinner here heard former GkJV.
Joseph W. Folk announce the princi
ples on which, it is said, he will seek
the presidential nomination in 1912.
The dinner was in charge of men who
have been promoting the boom of the
former governor.
“The dcrctrine of equal rights should
he made a living, vital and controll
ing force in the government,’* said
I^Ir. Folk after he had listened to
Democrats from all parts of the state
tell the guests about the former gov
ernor they should endorse for the
presidency.
Police Believe They .Are On Track
of the Child's Slayer.
The-most persistent questioning of
Mrs. Joseph Wendling, who Is held
at the police station here charged with
having been an accessary to the mur
der of little Alma Kelner, the child-
whose mutilated body was found in
a sub-cellar in St. John’s parochial
School, after an untiring -search for
months, has failed to shake the wo
man in her first declaration that sh^
knew nothing about the crime. Sh4
adheres to her statement that a ring
ind pin found in a^runk at her home,
both t)f which hive positively been
Identified as the property of the mur
dered girl, were given her by a boy,
and further than her admission that
she has seen nothing of her husband,
who was janitor at the school, since
his . disappearance January 14, when
he drew $60 from the bank, she will
say nothing about him.
Diligent investigaticm by the police
and detectives is weaving a strong
chain of circumstantial evidence
about the missing janitor, for the ap
prehension of whom the police depart
ment set out a dragnet which v will
sweep every part of the country.
Clothing which he is known to have
worn bears, numerous stains which the
detectives oomfidently pronounce tra
ces of blood.
The Kelner family has offered a
reward of $1,000 for the arrest and
conviction of the murder of Alma. ^
Mrs. Lena Wendling was presented
in police court and her case continued
until June 8. Mrs. Wendling denied
all knowledge of the murdsr of the
little girl.

V- JOSEPH W. coLk.
“The Democfatic party,” comtinued
Mr. Folk, “should insist upon the
stamping out of graft and corruption
from every department of the govern
ment; the eradication of all special
favors, including bounties, subsidies j
and a tariff for any purpose other
than revenue. ^
“We need the honest ,sincere en
forcement of the laws we already have
and the regulation of the rates of pub
lic utility corporations upon a reason
able basis that justice may be done
the people and a fair return fcrr th^
amount actually invested be afforded.”
other ^principle's named by the
speaker were the preservation of‘the
rights to the states of self-govern
ment, the restriction of American ter
ritory to the western hemisphere as a
necessary corollary of the Monroe doc
trine, the extension of American trade
by revising the restriction upon com
merce, a just income tax, the election
of United States senators by direct
vote and unrelenting opposition to the!
domination in public affairs of special
interests and the elimination of such
influences from politics.

/ 'Kind-Hearted Faritier.
George White, a farmer and rural
mail carrier at Rea, Pa., has deliv
ered to himself a letter from a lawyer
in a vs'estorn state informing him
that one Patrick Sullivan has left to

has remembered that 15 years ago he
befriended a peddler whose name was
Patrick Sullivan. He had often treat
ed him to meals or lodging.
White is now negotiating for the
$10,000 which is said to have been
left him by the old peddler.

Intense interest has been added'to
the legislative corruption scandal in

William Lorimer to his seat in the
United States senate, by a statement
signed by Governor Deneen, wherein
be declares for a thorough investiga
tion.
Governor Deneen held a lengtny
conference with State’s Attorney
Burke, and a statement is published
over the signature of the governor
^'herein it is stated that Mr. Burke ig
assured of all possible aid by the
state officials.
The whole nefarious plot should be
exposed,” said the governor, “The
Crime of bribliry is one of the most
insidious and dangerous. It makes a
arce of parties and of elections.”
One glint of humor is seen in the
proceedings. It has been l.earned
^finitely that the “treasurer of the
corporation jackpot” did not divide
spoils evenly and that he kept for
imself more than the lion’s share.

laws. All of the “insurgents” who op*-
