The pollr have ben searching for her ' locally, but the newa of her whereabout . came In a letter from the girl heraelf addressed to her mother, Mrs. Anita T. Mack.

Takes Assumed Ximf. The letter states that t:ie Clurk girl is workirr In Chicago under the assumrd name of Edivarri.t .haf. The news timt Etina dark had been ftind alive and weii prad quivkly through tlie city, and created much xcltm nt. for It had been feared that she a dead. Shortly before o'rlix-fc tonight a mes s&r?a was received from Chlcapo by Cap tain Peterson contirming the fact that the writer of the letter in the hands of the police was Bdna Clark. She resides at No. ".5 Eldride Court and is known tnere as Fdwarda C.iase. wIih-Ii name she iMumfd after arriving in Chicago.

Young Absolved. Peterson made the following comment after reading the letter: "We helicved all along that Rev. Pay eon Young had nothing to do with the girl's disappearance, and this letter, in my opinion, completely absolves him. The case is now a closed event, so far as wo are concerned." In response to a query. Rev. Young, whose name has been mentioned in con r.OLtion with the girl's disappearance, tonight made the following brief state ment : "I'm glad that Miss Clark iias been found. It will be very, very welcome news to her mother, who will be much relieved." He declined further to discuss the case HENEY MAKING PROGRESS .Continued From First Paget ed Haas after his arrival at the county liast'le. The importance of the establishment of this fnct is great- as it is declared by those who hold that Haas fired at Heney onlv after having been nasged into it by the friends of the "grafters." to be their belief that the gun was passe,) to Haas after he was arrested and showed a tendency to talk "too much." If it can be proven that the weapon was concealed about his person, tliis view win not be so generally taken, al though. In tiie latter event, a shake-up in the Police Hcpartment is to be ex pected. The wife of tne suicide could throw no llsht upon the matter when seen today. Phe said that she' knew that her husband had purchased a pistol many months ago: but as to what sort of a weapon it was or for what reason he bought it she was ignorant. F ATTI.K CHI RCII SYMPATHIZES Poes ReMilutlon and Wlrrs Action to Mr. Heney. KJCATTLK. Wash.. Nov. 15. The con. gregatlon of the First Cingregtional Church, during the morning service to day, by a rising vote, passed a resolu tion of sympathy for Francis J. Heney. w ho was shot in San Francisco during the Kuef trial, and commending him for his work In hahtlng graft and corrup tion in civic life. At the close of the service the pastor. Kev. Ir. Sldnev Strong, wired news of the action to Mr. Heney In Pan Fran i Isco. HINTS 1IWS WAS MIHHFHED John Sweeney Itei-Inres Prisoner Did Not Commit Suicide. SAN" FRANCISCO. Nov. If. Two mass routines assembled at the call of what is known as the Clergy branch of the lagu" of Justice, were held here today to discuss the attack on Special Prosecu tor F. J. Henry last Fridty. The mffttnfc which gathered at Calvary Church was at'ended by about 2fi"0 per sons, the principal speaker being John Sweeney, president of the Labor Council. Mr. Sweeney harshly criticised the actions of Police Commissioner Keil. declaring that . the latter had acted in opposition to Mayor Taylor and the graft prosecu tion. S-veeney also intimated that Morris iiaas. Heney's assailant, did not commit suicide in the County Jail, but did not :iy what he believed were the true facts. Following Mr. Sweeney, a number of !. rg men spoke, among them Rev. C'.'irpt:::. rector of Trinity Church, who arouse considerable- opposition among his hearers by declaring that it was an easy matter to attack a man behind his back, apparently referring to Sweeney's charges concerning Keil. Numerous cries interrupted the speaker, but he con tinued and wound up his address with an appeal to iiis hearers to "Put the boodlers where they belong." , Among others who addressed the meet ing were Rev. Carl Werner. Rev. H. H. Bell. Kev. C. X. Lethrop and Rolla V. Watt. At the close of the session a reso lution of similar wording to that adopted by the Laa-ue of Justice last night was carried with additional messages of sym pathy for Mrs. Heney. The other meeting, held at Grace Meth odist Church in the Mission, was also well attended and the speakers were sev eral of the most prominent clergymen in the city, among them Rev. David Evans, Rev. B. R. Dille and Rev. B. P. Bennett. The speakers all clung to tha same line, ann-aline- to the DUbliC to See to It that i the graft prosecution was carried out to the end. and nearly an oi mem piu their respects to Ruef"a counsel, whom thev accused of wilfully delaying the fair and impartial trial of their client by "quibbling.'

The Emperor died as he had lived, without ministration of whatever kind or scientific aid. For months he had refused lo permit the services of for eign physicians, and, although It was suited that he had gone back to the old form of medical treatment, it is believed thit latterly he received no treatment at all. The government has gi-en out that the dowager Empress, In a lucid Interval on Friday last, received Prince Chlng. who Is a Manchu. and a member of the royal familv, and approved the edicts declar ing Prince Pu Yi heir presumptive and Prince Chun Regent of the empire. Manchu Dynasty Continues. Prince Chlng was, at the beginning of the Boxer outbreak. Lord Chamberlain of the Court and commander of the Pekin field forces. It was on him that the for eign officials hung hopes of the envoys. He has held many positions and was high in imperial favor. That the dowager Bmprasa took this step is discredited. Neverthcle.se she is believed to have successfully established the hun regime, which is the Manchu regime, without obstacle, and the opin ion is held here that this solution of the difficulty which has confronted the gov ernment le the beet possible. Faith In Prince hCun. Until word of the death is spread broadcast no disorders are apprehended. China is quieter now than at any time since 19o0. Local disorders in the south are possible on any pretext, but the north is more inclined to peace. There are few signs of antagonism to foreigners and there Is no manner of doubt that fPrince Chun will be able to meet the sit uation. He is recognized as thoroughly progressive and Is the most acceptable man that could be chosen to those most disposed to cai5e trouble, the reformers. Antagonism on the part of the con servatives and even an insurrectionary movement is conceivable because the death of the powerful woman who dom inated all and the weakling Emperor sweeps away the old palace corTuptlon ists. RECEIVE. LOCAL CONFIRMATION Portland Chinese Show No Emotion, hut Trust Prince Chun. Official confirmation of the death of the Chinese Kmperor. Kwang Su. and trie Empress Dowager. Tsi An. has been received by the Portland Consul Moy Back Htn. A message announcing the death of the Emperor was received from the Chinese Legation, at Washing ton which had the news from the Pekin Board of Foreign AfTalrs this morning an dtonight word was received from the same source announcing the death of the Empress Dowager. Moy Back Hin was requested to place the Chinese flag at half mast as a mark of respect to the memory of their Maj esties. He also communicated the news to the local Chinese Chamber of Com nierce which lowered the flag on Its headquarters. The telegrams stated that the Em peror died November 14 and the Em press Dowager November 15. The news of the death of their sov ereigns was received with no show of emotion by local Chinese. The impres sion seemed to prevail that the Empire would be better oft without the Dowa ger Ebpress who was generally con sidered tyrannical and an enemy of any reform measures, while the Emperor, on the other hand, was thought to be progressive, insofar as he was able, considering the control which the Em press had over imperial affairs. The selection of Prince Chun, or Shun Tin Wong, as his title is rendered in the Cantonese dialect, gives universal satisfaction. He is a highly-educated and widely-traveled man of great cul ture, and is known to be liberal In his views and a friend of reform.

Carrying one of its occupants to her death, an automo bile, In whlh were aeven people. MARRIED SUNDAY plunged over a precipitous bluff over looking the Spokane River, shortly after 6 o clock tonight. The party lit the machine was com posed of William A. Nichols, president of the Nichols Investment Company, well known in Butte and New York, as well as in Spokane; his three sisters. Mrs. H. C. Bwann, Miss Mary Nichols and Miss Mona Nichols: H. C. Swann, of the Swann-McCain Electrical Com pany: Chauffeur Charles Chambers and William Faik. of the Dulmage-Rose Automobile Company. Miss Mary Nichols died three hours after the acci dent. Mr. Nichols was taking his sisters and brother-in-law for a ride, which it was intended would end at the First Methodist Episcopal' Church, where Miss Mary I Nichols was to have led the singing of the Epworth League. They were running along the avenue. It was quite dark, and the chauffeur, who was evidently unfamiliar with the road, did not take into account the fact that adraw in the bluff cuts into the ave nue. The front wheels of the machine went into the end of the r avlne and the machine began to slide down the steep incline. When it had gone but a few feet in its desoent, the automobile turned over, and gathering momentum as it went, it crashed down the almost perpendicular Incline amid a shower of loose boulders and small stones In which It landed, partly buried. 350 feet below. When the automobile first turned over, all the occupants were spilled out, a fact which doubtless accounts for the escape of at least the majority of the party from death.
