SCHUYLER, Neb.. Aug. ll.-(Spetial
Telegram.) Stern-vlsaged men, all think
ing the same grim thought! are gathered
In pulbic places here today, discussing the
horrible murder of 18-ycsr-old ..Louise
Mirk, whoso mutilated and outraged body
was found half burled In a cornfield early
this morning. Anticipating that these de
termined men are gathering for no good
purpose to Frank Held, suspected slayer.
Sheriff Adam Kunkle of this county has
advised the authorities at Columbus to
take every precaution against a possible
lynching and as a result the guards about
the Jail there have been doubled.
Held, who la alleged by the authorities
to be an ex-convict, sent from Schuyler
ten years ago for a serious offense, denies
connection with the crime, beyond this
and the explanation that lie was on the
way to his brother-ln-Iaw'a farm when ar
rexted, he has refused to talk, despite the
effurts of Sheriff Kunkle and County At
torney Allen.
Clothing- Smeared with Blood.
fiTbe authorities here say that clrcuni-
stances point strongly towurd complicity
of Held. When arreslad his col thing was
smeared with blood. Ccnnty Attorney
Allen tonight told The Ete that there
was other evidence against him, but
. would not say wha tit was until the In
quest, which will ce hJJ Wednesday
morning, with the sheriff prehllng.ln the
absence of the coroner. . - ,
Vre. Moore, Wood and Hart wade an
examination ot tha orpae yestwrvHryaft'
ernoon, and later Dr. Hart' came to
Omaha to have certain microscopic tests
made. He returned to Schuyler late to
night and WHI be present at the Inquest.
I'laaned Get Riiun.
That the abduction was originally
planned to extort ransom la shown by a
brief letter, mailed at Frank Jlllcr s rural
box, and received by Mrs. Mary Mick, the
girl's mother, today. The letter said;
"Dear mother I am all right. Olve the
man the money and I'll come home. Lov
ingly, Louise Mick."
From this the authorities now believe
thst there was only on parson connected
with the abduction.
In all the history of crime in Nebraska
there have beea few caaea to equal the
distressing case of beautiful Louise Mick.
She had . Just finished school; was a
charming girl Just blossoming Into worn
anhoodand was surrounded by all of the
luxuries and pleasures that numberless
friends and a considerable income could
provide. jHer father, a wealthy retired
farmer, died several years ago.
Family Boaad to Beds.
It waa at S o'clock Monday morning that
Mrs. Mary Mick, the mother, and Mlus
Louisa Mick, aunt, were bound to their
. beds by tho lone intrllejand while they
lay hetpleea the young girl was taken

dress.
As a case of abduction for the purpose
of extorting ransom, the affair aroused

MINING OF NORTH
SEA' CLOSES PORTS
Indiscriminate Scattering of Mines
Makes All Navigation
Unsafe
TREASURE SHIPS IN DANGER
Retarnlnsc Toarlaa May .Now Have
to Make Their Way to Soathera
Ports or Remain Where
' They Are.
!
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Mining of the
North rea as part of the 'plan of ihc
European war not only may close moet
of the northern Kuropcan 1 ports to
navigation, but the golden laden cruiser
Tennexeee and North CaVolfrie: and neutral
passenger vessels bearing Americans trom
Europe, will be confronted with new
danger. .......
; The American government was formally
advised during the day by th: British
embassy that Inasmuch as Germany had
teen "scattering mines Indiscriminately"
Great Britain could no longer refrain
frcm planting mine near Its own ports.
Secretary- Bryan said tonight Americans
at home might rest assured that the pas
senger lines plying between northern
European porta would take no chances
that would, imperil life..
Amerlcaaa Mast Remain.
It Is believed that Americans In north
ern porta will remain there for the
present or .make . their way south and
southeast to such porta as Marseilles or
Lisbon to obtain passage for the United
States. An itinerary for the 1 bruisers
Tennessee and North - Carolina bearing
millions In gold for tha relief of Ameri
cans has iiever boon announced, but as
both Great Britain and Germany have
given warning of the dangers In the
north sea It la' being taken for granted
here that none of the American warships
will venture into those waters. After
touching at Falmouth, England, the
treasure ships probably will land at some
port la France and then head for the
Mediterranean, endeavoring. It la thought,
to reach '-Americana In both Germany and
Austria from points In tha Adriatic.
' Neatral Porta Mined.
On diplomatist pointed out today that
the ports of four neutral nations, Nor
way, Sweden, Denmark and the Nether
lands as well aa one of the belligerents
Belgium were practically blockaded
through the ' promiscuous planting of
mines In the North sea...
The flague convention which regulatea
the use of contact mines, stipulates that
the belllgerenta ahall undertake to their
utmost "to render these mines harmless
within a limited time, and should they
cease to bo under surveillance to notify
the danger sones, aa soon as military
exigencies permit' Naval observers here
believe, however,' that In view of the
Titantic struggle thia article In the con
vention will be of little moment.
Customs Receipts in
New York Normal
NEW YORK,' Aug., 11.-To date the
New Tork customs leceipta have kept
up nearly , normal, notwithstanding the
war. This, It was explained at the
custom house. Is because the withdrawals

There are now In Vmoed warehouses

Inquiry Into Rise

Proposed in House
WASHINGTON. Aug. H.-Investigatlon
of whether food Trices are being arbi
trarily advanced in pretext that they have
been affected by the European war waa
proposed In two resolutions Introduced to-'
day by Representatives Kelly and Karr
of Pennsylvania.
Repres, ntatlve Farr's resolution would
direct Secretary Red field to Invcttigate
the advance, particularly In flour.
.Representative Kelly's directs an In
quiry aa to "whether the manipulation of
values by speculators on the Chicago
Board of Trade and elsewhere is resulting
in unjust and unwarranted advances tn
the prices of foodsmffs in spite of record
breaking crops in .this country, and tho
fact that there has been little or no ex

General conditions here aud on the continent are verv m.uh ri.aJ
turbed all the principal stock exchanges are cloned aud the Bank of
England has raised Its rate to 8 per cent, and predictions are that if may
be 10 per cent within a week nearly all food products are advanced in
price, flour 3 pence per hundredweight higher during the last three days
consequently bakers have raitted the price of bread -peuny per loaf
Should a general war be declared, which somo are of the opinion will be
the case, It will have a tendency to increase the price of our food products,
as England and France will be cut off. for a time at least, from galling a
large amount from' Russia and the far east, which is now the case.
Americans abroad are very much alarmed about securing their pas
sage borne, as the German government has already held up some of the
larger passenger vessels. The Imperator, which waa to have left Ham
burg yesterday. Is held and many passengers who were to embark at
Southampton are trying to secure accommodation on tho English and

Summary of
War Situation
In and around Liege the situa
tion was unchanged. The Germans
held the town Itself, but the forts
still were fighting strongly.
The German main army in the
north was reported entrenching
Itself on the Ourthe, while ' two
large divisions of cavalry had got
to Tongres, north of Liege. It
was expected that a general ad
vance was in preparation and a
battle Imminent In which the Ger
mans would be confronted by the
allied Belgians, French and Brit
ish. The French at Meulhausen, Al
sace, met with opposition after
their occupation of that city. A
superior force of Germans caused
them to leavo the place and take
position outside, where an action
was fought, details of which have
not been made public. French
reports are indefinite, but give
the impression 'of a French suc
cess. . Many German spies were ar
rested in Belgium and a se
cret wireless apparatus w as dis
covered In a German store in
Brussels.
Fighting evidently has occurred
on the RusRo-Germati' frontier, as
six carloads of German prisoners
were reported to have passed
through vilna on their way to the
Russian Interior.
Russians have concentrated a
considerable army In Finland,
this disposing of German, reporta
of the landing of a German army
corps there.
Bulgaria apparently is moblllx

to prevent violations of Its neu
trality. The United States diplomatic
officials Is ' Europe have the
further tank of looking after tha
French interests In AUBtrta and
Austrian interests In France. ;
A state of war has been pro
claimed In the southern provinces
of Holland.

sam cast up today on the "shore south
of the Golden Gate and the presence
Outside the heads of a German
cruiser standing on and off, proved
either that a British warship bad
cleared in haste for action or that it
had been torn by an explosion.
1 There was evidence to support'
either theory, but the definitely es
tablished, fact that the British pro-',
tented crujser Ralilbow,' now In the
service c-T the Dominion of Canada,
did clear for action when it left here
early last Rauurdyeemed to out-'
weigh the most positive opinion of
those who critically examined the
wreckage.,
. Brass door plate, stamped 'Gun
ner", and "Navigating Officer,"
proved that the debris bad come
from a British warship. The badly,
splintered condition of the wood
work and the twisted and tangled
motal, tlttiugs attached to it, to
gether with the fact that" nowhere
could bo fouLd any marks of ham
mer, cbtucl or crowbar, made thoue
who viewed It positive that .it had
bocn torn loose by an explosion.
Clear far Action. .
On the other hand, word came from tits
Canadian s'tation at Esquimau, that the"
Rainbow was known to have cleareu for
action. Captain Gronbcch of the life sav
ing station, near which tha fragments
were found, remembered that about 2
o'clock In the morning the Rainbow had
laid to outside the harbor, Juat ' passing

been on board the rainbow, for t waa
