Senatorial Matter la Qalet.
There Is not much doing In the senatorial
matter. The premature effort to get Lieu
tenant Governor Clarke Into the race for
senator f I tried out the last week, leaving
only thre avowed candidates, Senator
Young, Carl Franks and Guy Feely. At
torney General Dyers, while not a candi
date. Is In a receptive mood, as are also
a number of others whose names have
been considered. Senator Young has made
a sudden change and now desires a pri
mary election to be held In January or
February to settle the matter. None of
the legislators, however, have felt that
It was necessary to have a special primary
entailing an espense of many thousands
of dollars to select a senator for the short
term.
I.ebniann Popular In loma.
Frederick. W. Lehmann, who has been
mad solicitor general at Washington, la
regarded as practically an Iowa man, as
most of his career was In this state and
only a few years ago he went to St.
Ixuls. He practiced law In De Mothes
and became one of the leaders of the bar
In this state. He was also for many years
prominent In democratlo circles In the
state and Is known to still regard himself
as a democrat, though not having taken
much part In politics in recent years.
When Office Terms Commence.
Th of flan, of the. attorney geneial was
called upon today to determine when the
official terma commence In Iowa next year,
as tha law was changed so that prac
tically all state and county office terms
commence on tha "second secular day" of
the year. The decision was that this would
mean January I next. Most of the county
offices changa on that day. .
Are Snort of Teachers.
Reports to the office of the state superin
tendent show that there Is a considerable
shortage of teachers In the mat and that
this Is due largely to having so many of
the small schools open. Four counties
report that they could use In all thirty
more teachers.
The articles were filed today for the
Fidelity Investment company of Fort
Dodge with po.000 capital, also the Stanton
Light and Power. company with $5,000 capi
tal, i ,
tat Taxes Are Heavy.
The report of the state auditor, which
was Issued today, shows that, the total of
direct taxes paid In the state last year
was $21.31. 221. 48- This Includes every form
of direct taxes, but not fees and other col
lections, such a the Item of at6i,!w9.ts re
ceived on saloon licenses. The largest Item
of the direct tax Is that of the district
school tax. which Is tU.04T.9U. The direct
state tax last year was the largent In the
history of the state, $3.117,00.36. The taxes
paid for roads and bridges amount to over
ta.Oot.OM a year.

Deputy Peroni Has
Plan to Handle
the Bad Italians
Would Have Corps of Special Police
to Watch Emi grants Who Leave
Italy Sound for America.
ROME, Dec 4. (Special Cablegram.)
Speaking about the proposed parliament for
the formation of a special corps of Italian
American police to combat criminality
among Italian Immigrants In America,
Deputy Valvassort Peroni said he approved
the plan. He acknowledged that among
the Italians living in American cities, crim
inal associations flourish and that crimes
are painfully frequent because Italy has
never made a serious effort to prevent the
emigration of suspicious characters, who
often use false passports, thus evading
police surveillance on their departure and
arrival.
The only practical remedy," continued
the deputy, "Is the Institution of a special
corps of emigration police to watch emi
grants closely, both in Italy and America,
prevent their landing In America, and
when found there, to arrest and bring
them back to Italy. If this were done In
a few years only law-abiding Italians
would be left In America and the feeling
against Italians would be greatly removed
as the criminality decreased."
The matter will probably be discussed at
the International congress on Immigration
In Rome next year.

ESTATE OF MICHAEL CUDAHY
Twenty Million! of Property Left by
Late Chicago Tacker.
i
JOSEPH CTJDAHY CHIEF EXECUTOR
Three I! an red People, Isrlsdlst
Head of Several Depart meats.
Will Move Within Few
Month to (klesso.
CHICAGO. Dec. . (Special Telegram
Examination of the estate of the late
Michael Cudahy disclosed the fact today
that church and philanthropic enterprises
have been receiving virtually all his vast
Income for three years.
Attorney Noble H. Judah, counsel for
the estate, and the packer's sons and
brothers, now are engaged trying to rlsce
a value on the estate. Despite his many
benefactions, there are strong Indications
that he left nearly tX.VO.OO. Much of this
money still goes to charity by the terms
of the will, but the exact proportion will
not be known until about next Saturday.
Mr. Cudahy had the reputation of being
one of the most secretive business men In
the world. His Investments cover the four
corners of America. Every Interest and
every department was under the personal
supervision of an Independent manager,
and it Is said that not one of these men
knew the amount handled by another.
Mr. Cudahy was the only person who
realized their collective value, and he did
rot tell even his lawyer. In fact, he did
business through several law firms, ap
parently selecting his counsel according to
his own Ideas of what thsy knew about
the Interests they represented.
Will I an Old One.
The will was drawn fifteen years ago,
but underwent certain changes during this
year. Even In previous years two codicils
were added.
Edward A. Cudahy, the packer's brother.
who succeeds him as head of the Cudahy
Tacking company, knew more of Michael's
business affairs than any other slngl In
dividual.
Michael's son, Joseph M. Cudahy of
Omaha, who Is named as chief executor of
the will, also had a general knowledge of
his affairs, but no steps toward the pro
bate of the will can be taken until the
men managing the various Interests are
brought together within the next few days
to fix estimates on what they represent.
Tha law specifies that persons probating
wills and taking out letters must make af
fidavit that the personal property and real
estate la worth "not less" than a fixed
figure. The object Is to secure the estate
with sufficient bond from the persons who
distribute It. Those Interested said It
would require at least another week to
get these figures.
While Mr. Cudahy was a devout Catho
lic and was known to have given single
gifts of 1100.000 and 10,000 to Institutions of
that church, his accounts show that his
gifts to Protestant churches also totaled a
big sum. It Is said that bis private books,
to which no person except himself had ac
cess previous to his death, show that he
made many $5,000 and 10,000 subscriptions
to Protestant bod lea
Three years ago the late packer made up
his mind that he had enjoyed enough of
this world's goods and decided that hence
forth all his Income above actual living
expenses for his family should go toward
charity, and his word was kept. He an
ticipated some payment set forth in his
will, and gave to many enterprise that
will ret furher shares. The full amount of
his benefactions will never be mad pub
lic. E. A. Cndahy Back frosn Chirac.
E. A. Cudahy, president of the Cudahy
Packing company, on his return from Chi
cago yesterday morning, confirmed th ru
mor as to the transfer of the general of
fice of tha company to Chicago. Th
transfer will take place some time between
January 1 and July 1 next. Th change
of plan will make no difference, no far
a th manufacturing epd of tha business
Is concerned. This will be maintained In
South Omaha and M. R. Murphy, at pres
ent general superintendent, will have full
charge as general manager.
Mr. Cudahy gav out th folowing
statement.
"W will establish our headquarter
In Chicago soma time between January
1 and July 1. next. It mean that our
general offices will be changed from
South Omaha to Chicago. Th account
ing and general operating of all our plant
will be done from the general office.
We have maintained our headquarter
her because it was my horn mor than
for any other reason. "We have an of
fice fore her of about 4S0 men. We
will take with ua about two-thirds of
this fore. All told, I should say about
f00 people.
"It will make no dlferenc In the manu
facturing end. W will maintain our
executive, or operating, department with
th necessary assistant to th head of
the various department. M. R. Murphy
wl'l have full charge of the South
Omaha plant as general manager."
Mr. Cudahy concluded by saying that
he would take his son, E. A. Cudahy, Jr.,
with him to Chicago and that he had
made no choice of office yet.
It 1 estimated that the transfer of
the general office will mean a loss to
South Omaha of ever 150,000 a year.

EVIDENCE IS

neen entenretl to the Kleetrle
Cnalr If He Is (Jallty of
Crime.
LOUISVIUI.F. Ky.. Dec. 1 Joseph
Wendllng tonight was found guilty by a
Jury of the murder of 8-year-old Anna
Kellner and his punishment fixed at life
Imprisonment. The Jury was given the
cae at 6 30 o'clock this afternoon and an
nounced their verdict at 10.10. Wendllng
was talkirg to his wife. Mrs. Madeline
Wendllng. when the verdict was announced.
He remained perfectly calm.
I either killed the little girl or I didn't,"
saij Wendllng. "They should either send
me to the electric chair or turn me free."
The verdict came after a day spent In
argument by attorneys and the reading of
the Instructions by Juclte Gregory. Al-
though there were four possible verdicts
the Jury might have returned under the
Instructions of the court, the verdict wss
merely "murder." j
Evidence Cireaiastaattal. j
The evidence presented against Wendllng
was purely circumstantial. Since his arrest
and throughout his trial he denied any
Jtnowledge of the fate of the lellner child.
Witnesses testified, however, that Wend
ling, then Janitor at St. John's church, was
seen In the church the morning Alma Kell
ner last went there to mass. The child
was never again seen. Alma Kellner was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kellner
of this city and a niece of Frank Fehr,
millionaire brewer, who spent much time
and money In the search for the child and 1
In the prosecution of Wendllng. It was
first believed the child had been kidnaped
nd numerous rewards were offered for
her return.
On May 30 the mutilated body of a child
was found In a cellar under the music
room at St. John's Catholic church. The
body was accepted by the Kellner family
as that of their child. Circumstantial evi
dence pointed to Joseph Wendllng. former
janitor of the church, who had disappeared
on January 14, as the murderer.
Lon( Search for Wendllng;.
A search waa started for him, which led
to New Orleans tFTrough Texas, and
finally to California, where he was cap
tured on June 80, the arrest being mad In
Ban Francisco.
Chief of Detectives Carney of this city,
who conducted th search for Wendllng,
had almost given up the hunt when he
located Mrs. Cora Munea, a nVUlner, at
Hume, Mo. Wendllng had known Mrs.
Munea In Texas and had proposed mar
riage to her.
Mrs. Munea denied any knowledge of
Wendllng, but on his visit Captain Carney
found a postcard from Wendllng mailed
in California. Carney telegraphed his In
formation to the San, Francisco police and
the arrest followed.
Once back in Louisville, attorneys for
Wendllng, who Is a Frenchman, attempted
to have the case tried In the federal court
and with, six of his own countrymen on
the Jury- The federal court sent th cas
back to the state court.
Th trial began Monday and ha been
one of th most celebrated held in this
stat.

Contest Over Admission of Statements
. . .of 11 a tie La Blnno.
CAMBRIDGE, Mans., Dec. (.The
feature of th single session today of the
trial of Haiti Le Blanc, the French
Canadian girl of 17 years, who Is on trial
at the East Cambridge court house for the
murder of Clarence F. Glover, a Waltham
laundry proprietor, a year ago, waa a
legal controversy between District Attor
ney John Uigglns, the chief prosecuting
officer, and Melvln M. Johnson, chief
counsel for the accused girl.
The contest was over the admission of
evidence which is considered of extreme
Importance to the prosecution. This evi
dence concerns the statements alleged to
have been made by Hattle Le Blanc in the
Waltham police station Immediately after
she waa discovered hiding under a bed
In the Glover horn . on the night of
Glover's funeral. The argument waa pre
cipitated when on of the witnesses, Sam
uel B. Elmore, Mr. Glover" attorney, was
on th witness stand and was questioned
as to what Hattle said at the polio sta
tion. It transpired that Hattle was aaked the
direct question:
"Did you shoot Mr. GloverT"
"No," replied the girl. In English.
She also said, "I had no revolver to kill
with."

before Judge Bond and th jury did not
har the evidence.
Mr Johnoii objected to the Introduction
of the question and answers bearing on
tt.ee statements on the ground that his
client did not undenrtsnJ English at that
time and that whatever she aid was said
through an Interpreter. This Interpreter
is now In Canada and ha'i refused to come
to Massachusetts to testify In the case.
The district attorney maintained that
the prisoner understood English at the
time of her arrest, and to support his con
tention he introduced Sheriff U.Urbarn.
who has had charge of the prisoner for
more than year, and Pr. Utley, the
jail physician, who has also had conversa
tions with the girl. The district attorney
also asked for a writ of habeas corpus
for the appearance in court of Mrs. Eliza
beth Richmond, a convicted murderess
who Is serving a life sentence. Mrs. Rich
mond knew liattle Ie Blanc in the East
Cambridce jail and the district attorney
wishes tJ show through her testimony that
the defendant could both speak and un
derstand the English language.
