MRS. WHEELER STILL MUM
Wift of Murdered Rreman Yields No
Information Under Police Pump.
INQUEST IS EQUALLY UNPROFITABLE
All Parties Thooajht to Be t'oacfraf

The rffprts of the police during the last
twenty-four hours have failed to brina; out
anything; new In the Wheeler murder cuse.
liut there lia8 be n no dlminuntlon In ac
tivity and at any moment the whole story
of tiii crime may be laid bare. The ferret
inn out of thin mystery Is made doubly
hard for the jxiliee Iwc.-mse of the charac
ter of the people who are believed to know
something: ubout It. Frank E. Wheeler, it
Is positively believed, served as the dupe
of a low criminal clus through his own
wife, and his unsnspctliiK. confiding nature
made hlin enry prev. When ho innrrled
Mrs. Jonns Iteynnlds he Immediately was
thrown among former convicts and lawless
men. who almost made n headquarters of
his own house. These fellows have been
In the. hands of the io"c" before. They
are hardened, experienced law breakers,
who ;ire not to lie led Into a. betrayal of
the killing of Wheeler by any ordinary
method employed by the authorities in this
or any other city to Induce unwilling lips
to tell what they might. The undertaking
Is a delicti to one and may at any moment
be undone by some Ill-spoken word or
question. The greatest hope lies In Mrs.
Wheeler, who, with the negro, James Dlggs,
Is still In Jail. Women will break sooner
than men, but 'in this Instance the police
have a person who is its acquainted with
crime and as difficult to work upon as a
woman can be.
Iln, Wheeler Mill Hum.
Mr. Wheeler wns again taken before
Captain Punn yesterday morning for a
short time, but at the termination of the
Interview matters were about as before.
Again nt 6 o'clock last night the woman
was li d from the matron's department Into
the captain's office, but slv still maintained
her original declaration of titter Ignorance
as to the death of hor husband. She showed
nnmlstakablo siens of breaking after the
Interview with Captains Mostyn and Dunn
Saturday afternoon and evening, and it Is
brlieved If. she , has withheld anything
which might throw light on the Identity
of her husband's murderer It will not be
long b-f n; the truth will force (, Wny
out.'
The time h.'S n;i liei-q considered iiv
for the vlc.e evnmtcvitlon of Dlggs. t;vi

When Acting Chief Mostyn and Captain I
Dunn wire asked lust. -inlnj, regarding
th alleged onfesskn of Mrs. Wheeler
and her ln:!lca!ioii of iigxs both those
police officials stoutly denied that nlie had
made, any to them. Then Captain Dunn
asked AIis. 'Wheeler whRt she ' had told
the reporter who had seen her in the morn
ing and she replied by saying the reporter
told her Dlggs had confessed and asked I "a " crime, me iiko or wnicn, etc.
her what she thought of It. to which ques- ! P'"Ple- ' other cities read this melo

Dlggs had not only not made any con- I p,ulrI, City should have told the plain
feaslon to any one, but had not even been i
through what is known as the "sweating !
process," .
i ' Coroner's Inqnest.
Coroner Broiley held an inquest jester
day afternoon. The Inquest was neither
lengthy nor sensational. The Jury re-
turned a verdict that Wheeler came to his
death from blows strurk by a person or
by person, unknown to the Jury, which
recommended that the parties now in
custody of the police a. id being held on
suspicion of having been Implicated In the
crime be held for further Investigation.
Only "a few witnesses wore Introduced at
the Inquest. Dr. Mack told of the result
of the autopsy nnd Detective Drummy
answered a number of questions asked by
the Jurors who were desirous of learning
something of the records of Mrs. Wheeler
and James Disss. Detective Drumniy's j
replies were In line with what has been
published.
George Deal of S22 South Thirteenth
street, where Wheeler lived from February !
to October of last ; ear. told of overhear- j
lug numerous conversations and quarrels
between the woman and the mun who was
killed. Deal said Mrs. WhcMer called there
nearly every pay day to see Wheeler, she
then being Mia. Reynolds. Deal overheard
conversations regarding '.lie woman saving
money for Wheeler.
Neither Mrs. Wheeler nor Dlggs were
prw.nt at the Inquest.
The body of Wheeler was prepared to be
liken to th old family home at Oreenleaf,
Kan., and left on the 1:1ft o'clock Missiurl
Pacific ara In in charee "of ti e two brothers
who came Here for that purpose. The wife
expressed no regret ot netng unable to be
present at the funeral, nor did she seem to
mind that the nrrunwnienta would be In
other hands than hers. Frank E. Wheeler
has passed out of her life us though he
had never been her husband and apparently

OUR LETTER SOX. -
To Protect Bird.
NEW YORK, Feb. IS.-To the Kdltor of
The Bee: Senator Perkins haa introduced
a bill in congress in which all persons who
are friendly to the preservation of the
wild game and song-birds will be deeply In
terested. It is intended to give the presi
dent authority to designate such areas in
the public forest reserves as should In his
opinion be set aside for the protection of
game or of other animals, birds or Hah, and
be recognized as a breeding place therefor.
The bill further provides that when such
areas have been so designated, hunting,
trapping, killing or capture of game or
other animals, birds or fish upon the lands
of the United States within the limits of
said areas shall be unlawful. Tbe maxi
mum penalty for the violation of the pro
visions of the' act Is a fine of $j0 and six
months' imprisonment.
The act is not intended to cover the pro
tection of such birds and animals as are,
or may hereafter be, declared injurious by
the luws of the state or territory in which
such reserves are situated. It is the pur
pose of the act to protect from trespass the
public lands of the I'nltcd States and the
Htilnials, birds and fish which may be
thereon, and not to Interfere with the op
eration of the local game laws as affecting
stnte or territorial lands.
The National Association of Audubon So- I
elegies is working energetically in the Inter
est of this measure, and it solicits the co
operation of all who are In favor of the
establishment of the proposed game refuges
or reservations. All wild animal lift; Is
gradually being reduced by Are and gun.
and It Is high time that something practicul
be done to save what Is left.
Tho National Association of Audubon So
cieties is an Incorporated body, organized
to secure protection for wild birds and ani
mals. It is not yet endowed, but Is entirely
dependent on membership fees for funds
with which to carry on its work. An an
nual membership is $n, and the entire sum
Is used for actual protection work In the
several branches. The officers work with
out pny. and they earnestly appeal to the
public for aid in the great ecenonilc and
aesthetic work of bjrd protection. A few
hundred additional members Just now wil.
enable the society to greatly enlarge Iti
work. I
Petalled reports of the work of the asso
ciation will be cheerfully mailed on appli
cation to me at 141 Broadway. New York

'WASHINGTON. D. C, F b. 24.-To the
Editor of Tho Bee: It seems to me that
western cities ara sufficiently misrepre
sented and misunderstood here in the east.
This Is -not altogether due to the fabrica
tions of press correspondents. The Crowe
rn.su gave Omaha notoriety, not fame, i But
Omaha, In youthful gullibility. Is reaching
out f.ir this false fame even as a cred
ulous child grasps at a red-hot penny.
Tll "eW of Omaha dilate upon tho
I shame of It all; they proclaim to the world
that their city is now a hot-bed of vice
nnd will henceforth be even worse. The
local butchers, bakers and candlestick
makers are interviewed and give vent to
such rnbld Junk as "I am shocked, horri
fied," "This is a travesty on Justice,"
"Our fair city Is now Just entering upon
,runi "hout this very unusual case and
"nvr(l their rhetoric for a better purpose.
It may not be too lato. now to Institute
a campaign of discreet silence anent the
subject. Ordinary forethought suggests
such a policy; reason demands It.

Story that Carter Company gold Ont
Is Contradicted by Xonr York
Commercial. (
The New York Commercial prints a de
nlul by the officers of the National Lead
company that the concern has bought the
Carter White Lead, company, with opera
tive plants In Omaha, Chicago and Mont
real. According to the Commercial the
report originated In Omaha and seems to
have boon founded on the presence of E.
j J. Cornish, president of the Carter com
i puny, in New York. It is said Mr. Cornish
: offered to sell the property of his company
J for about $1,000,000, but the trust people
i thought the price loo high and declined
to close at the figure. It was given out
that no Negotiations are in progress. The
Carter White Lead .company is owned
mostly in Omaha and for years has been
the largest producer of Its kind out ot the
trust and the latter's principal competitor.

NEW PLANS ARE ALL LOST
ot a Motion of This Kind la Carried
by the Park Commis
sioners. Commissioner Oonden said yesterday at
the park board meeting that he proposed
to make an effort to have swings for chil
dren placed In the principal parks for use
during the coming summer. He remarked
he thought it foolish to spend money on the
parks unlrss people used them, and that
he thought attractions and amusements of
certain kinds should be provided.
The hoard took no action on any boule
vard propositions having new plans for
final surveys before It.
A resolution was adopted Instructing the
superintendent to Improve Bluff View park,
the small tract recently given to the city
by W. T. Kierstcad. Mr. Klerstead said
he would supply dirt necessary for grading
from property close by It.
Charles 1'nitt wanted to make a proposi
tion for buying three dwellings, to be re
moved for the enlargement of Bemis park,
or to trade a lot he owns which the north

next were named tonight tit a meeting hi
this city of the special committee appointed
for the purpose, hv the board of governors
of the Amateur Athletic union. The selec
tion, however. Is conditional, owing to the
uncertainty as to the attitude of college

may not countenance the prolonged ab
sence of their students.. The final selec
tion wan referred ot a committee of three,
consisting of James E. Sullivan, secretary
of the American Athletic union; Julian .

the reason for failure to complete the

of the funds necessary to send the men
selected for the American team.

CATM
Every Catarrh sufferer dreads the return of cold weather, for at the first
cold breath of the season this plague of Winter is fanned into life with all
its miserable symptoms. The nostrils are stopped up, and a constant drop
ping of mucus back into the throat keeps up a continual hawking and spit
ting, the patient has dull headaches, ringing noises in the ears and a half
sick, depressed feeling all tbe time. Every inner lining and tissue of the
body becomes inflamed, and secretes an unhealthy matter which is absorbed
into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and the disease be
comes constitutional. The catarrhal poison brings on stomach troubles,
affects the Kidneys and Bladder, attacks the soft bones of the throat and
head and if not checked leads to Consumption. A disease so deep-seated
and dangerous cannot be washed out, neither can it be smoked away.
Sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., are useless, because they only reach the
membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the disease is in the blood.
S. S. S. cures Catarrh because it attacks it through the blood; it goes into
the circulation and drives out all unhealthy accumulations and catarrhal
