Young of Central university at Pella, Ia., has written Chief of Police Richmond, expressing his belief that Oliver Hamilton, the stranger who committed sui cide here by taking strychnine, was prob ably A. D. Cox, a former profeakor at the Pella Institution, who left there January 12 last and had not been heard from since. Professor Young enclosed a photograph of Cox, which In many respects resembles the suicide victim. Cox's mother. Professor Young says, lives at Hapscot, Nova Scotia. When Cox left the university he was despondent over a love affair. While at the university Cox told Prof. Young that he had been a trained nurse and Intended to take up the study of medicine. Prof. Young stated, however, that Cox had never been known to be addicted to the use of mor phine or any other drug. The suicide victim was a morphine fiend and marks on his arms Indicated that he had been injecting the drug for a long time. Chief Richmond, while admitting that the photograph of Cox resembles greatly the dead man, had doubts they are one and the same person. Major Richmond Is now communicating with two doctors In St. Louis, whom Hamilton, while at St. Ber nard's hospital, told Dr. Barstow he had worked for.

"This talk of Martin moving his 'cribs' to this side of tho river, or, In fact, any of the houses of 111 fame from the proscribed district being transferred to this side of the river when the district Is closed In Omaha Is sheer nonsense," said Chief of Police Richmond yesterday. This state ment from Chief of Police Richmond was prompted by the appointment of a com mute by the West Council Bluffs Improve' ment club Tuesday to take steps to prevent the removal of any of the houses from the Omaha Burnt district to this side of the river. T. C. Kern and W. O. Hlnton, property owners Jn the western part of the city, re ported to the club that they had reliable Information to the effect that Martin had Inveated $8,000 In property along North Thirty-seventh street on which he proposed to erect another "Arcade." Chief Richmond, In commenting on the fears of the westenders, which he declared were utterly groundless, said: "It has al ways been the policy of the police depart ment to bar all such places from the resi dence districts of this city and this will be the policy so long as I am at the head of the department. The people of the west end may, rest assured that no bouses of such character will be permitted In their neighborhood." - Minstlll.t.TflWV Rnv M. V.
