Body
of Chicago Woman
Found in Her Cellar.,
BURIED 3EHEATH CEMENT FLOOR
Son Is Snspected of the Crime, as
Well at Killing Young Lady
Who Warn Lnttt Seen.
Alive With. Him.
CHICAGO. Aug. 9. With a Jagged
wound In the left temple and physical
evidence that she had been strangled or
smothered, the almost nude body of Mrs.
Annie Bartholin was found this evening
burled beneath the cellar floor of the
house In which she had lived, at 4310 Cal
umet avenue. Coincident with the find
ing of the body, the police redoubled their
efforts to find the missing son, William
Bartholin, who Is also suspected of the
murder of Miss Minnie Mitchell, whose
body was found in a vacant lot at Seventy-fourth
and State stree'ts last Thurs
day evening. The police have evidence
that Bartholin slept In th ehouse on Calu
met avenue last Tuesday night, three
weeks after his mother had been mur
dered, and six days after he Is supposed'
to have killed Minnie Mitchell.
The body of Mrs. Bartholin was found
by a party of newspaper men after the
police had searched the house and had
concluded that If the woman had been
murdered her body was concealed some
where away from the residence. All the
rooms of the bouse had been ransacked,
partitions torn down, walls sounded and
the basement and premises searched.
Earlier In the day persons who were
searching In the basement found a place
where the cement floor seemed to have
been disturbed. Digging there, they found
at first what was supposed to be tho
fragments of a human body. Later, they
became satisfied that a dog had been
burled there. A crowbar, apparently
stained with blood, and a hatchet which
bore dark marks were found in the base
ment, and tho searchers were unwilling
to abandon their task, even after it
seemed that there was nothing further: for
them to do. Finally, tonight, some one'
found a small -crevice In the cement floor.
Indicating that tlje cement had been dis
turbed and then skillfully patched. In a
moment the men were attacking the floor
with picks and spades, while a large
crowd of neighbors and other curious ones
watched the work from tho stairway or
through the basement windows. The ce
ment was quickly broken away and tho
diggers came upon a bed of white sand.
Digging through, they came upon a dress
skirt. This was dragged out, and other
articles of woman's wear were found.
When these had been removed the body of
tho woman was found. It was w rapped
In a blanket and practically was without
ciothing, there being only a stocking on
the left foot and a corset cover around
the chest.
From the appearance of the body It was
believed that Mrs. Bartholin was struck
down either while disrobing for the night
or when dressing in the morning. On
the woman's left temple was a deep and
ragged gasb two inches long, but Dr. E.
P. Noel, a physician who was summoned,
said that in his opinion it could not have
caused death. "The wound is superficial,
but may have served to render the vic
tim unconscious," Dr. Noel said. "After
the blow had been struck the woman was
either choked or smothered." The body
was removed to an undertaking establish
ment, where the Coroner's Inquest will be
held Monday.
The police have abandoned the theory
that Bartholin Is dead, and Police In
spector Hunt, In whose district Is the
home of Mrs. Bartholin, declared tonight
that he was confident the man is alive
and has not left Chicago. The clerk, of a
real estate agent, one of whose clients
holds a mortgage on the property of Mrs.
Bartholin, met William Bartholin In front
of the house on the morning of July 31 or
August 1, he does not remember which.'
This fact causes tho police to believe that
they will capture him soon, as ho has
had less than one week's start of them.
There is no apparent motive for the
killing of Mrs. Bartholin or of Minnie
Mitchell, but the police are following ev
ery possible theory. The one that finds
most favor at present is that the young
man, being in debt, killed his mother In
order that her equity on the mortgaged
property might revert to him. While this
theory will not cover the murder of the
Mitchell girl in any way, the police be
lieve that Bartholin had the Idea that she
either suspected him of killing his mother
or that she had taken him to task for
telling conflicting stories regarding her
disappearance. Bartholin and his mother
were not on good terms, although they
lived In the same house. Beyond a desire
to Inherit her property, however, there is
at present no known motive for the mur
der.
Dr. Springer, the Coroner's Physician,
conducted an autopsy on the body of Mrs.
Bartholin tonight and announced that her
death had been caused by strangulation,
the assassin having made sure of his vic
tim by first breaking her skull with
blunt instrument, a fracture having been
found beneath the wound on the temple. 1
STABBED IX HIS OFFICE.
Chicago Man Receives Fatal Wound
Frota a Paper Knife.
CHICAGO. Aug. S. Walter A. Scott,
president of the Illinois Wire Company,
was stabbed to death in his private of
fice in the Monadnock building today by
Walter L. Stebblngs, a civil and consult
ing engineer, with offices in the 'same
building. Mr. Stebblngs had done' some
work for the Illinois Wire Company,
over which there had been a dispute. The
two men had a quarrel and Stebblngs, It
Is said, cajled Scott a liar. There was a
scuffle and the two burst from the 'pri
vate office, blood flowing from Scot fa
wounds. He had been stabbed twice.
Stebblngs made no attempt to escape.
Stebblngs, when arrested, said he had
struck Scott In self-defense, and- that he
had not Intended injuring him seriously.
The fight was witnessed by Miss Myrtle
Shumate, a stenographer in Scott's office,
who ran screaming into the hall. Occu
pants of the other offices notified the
police, who placed Stebblngs under arresU
According to Miss Shumate's story., the
two men were in Scott's private office
for nearly an hour disputing over a claim
for $3000. Suddenly the door was thrown
open, and the men staggered Into the
outer office, kicking each other and using
their fists. Stebblngs held a long steel
paper-knife In his right hand, and the
weapon could be seen flashing as the men
struggled. Suddenly Stebblngs struck
Scott In the body. The blow was re
peated a moment later. Scott staggered j
oncitwaro., ana leu to the floor. He died
within half an hour.
Mr. Scott was 43 years of age. He
leaves a widow and one son, who are
visiting in the East. Mr. Scott recently
was president and owner of tho Marsh
field & Southeastern Railroad, and owner
of the Scott Lumber Company and con
trolled a large amount of real estate.
He was reputed to be a millionaire.
When told later that Scott was dead.
Stebblngs turned pale. Had not a police
man caught him, he would have fallen
from the chair.
"DeadJ" he exclaimed; "I cannot real
ize it. I did not mean to kill him. I
was opening a letter with the paper
"knlfe. He struck me. I hardly know
-whafc happened after that. I did not
even know that I had stabbed him. 1
thought I had only knocked him. down."

After speaking of Minnesota, the Da
kota?, Montana and California, where he
found good prospects of Republican
gains, he said of Washington:
"Washington, a Republican state, the
home of James Hamilton Lewis,. the re
doubtable Populist, has repudiated Pop

Of the President he says:
"President , Roosevelt is popular

more enthusiastic for him than any other

urged a 'policy of reciprocity with Cuba,
which the Callfornlans feared would hurt

WILL STAY AT VANCOUVER.
General Corbin .Says Department
Headquarters Will Not Bo Moved.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 9. General Corbin said to
day that there was not the least pos
sibility of, removing the headquarters of
the Department of the Columbia from
Vancouver. "All the buildings necessary
for the transaction of "business are there,"
he said, "and It would be expensive to
make the move, besides being unneces
sary. With telephone and telegraph con
nections, good mall facilities, and being
pear a big city like Portland, all the bus
iness of the Department can be as speed
ily and conveniently transacted at Van
couver as at any place In. the Depart
ment.''' It appears, that the. matter has never
got so far as a recommendation from
General Miles, though some officer of the
Inspector-General's Department, If not
General Breckenridgo himself, has made
the suggestion of removal, giving as a
reason the friction that sometimes arises
between the headquarters and post pffic
ers. The statement by the Adjutant
General, however, effecutally disposes of
the matter for some time to come.
PORTLAND IS PREPARED.
If Any Headquarters Are Moved, Let
Them Come Here.
The commercial bodies of Portland are
fully alive to the thraatened removal of
the Army headquarters from Vancouver.
Seattle will not have any opportunity to
steal a march In the matter. The Cham.
her of Commerce has had its weather eye4
peeled ever since the rumors started. The
Board of Trade also has the danger well
surveyed.
"The neadauarters will not go to Se
attle," said President Beach, of the Board
'of Trade, yesterday. "The question has
had a permanent place in our counsels for
some time."
The Army officers at Vancouver are not
saying anything for publication,' but It Is
understood that they desire very much
to move to a large city. Portland Is said
to be their preference. It was intimated
yesterday to a reporter that they would
pull for this city as much as their sltua
tlo nwould permit.
The advisability bf Portland's exerting
Itself to get the headquarters has been
seriously discussed by leading business
men here. Some of them are not in favor
cf working for the change, arguing that
well enough should be left alone. Others
believe that Portland must wjeld Its In
fluence in order to offset that of Seattle.
Still others argue that Portland has ad
vantages for the headquarters, which it
should not be afraid to put forward. This
city has the best trading and jobbing fa
cilities in the Northwest, they say. and
if It cannot make them prevail against
those of beattle. It should put up the
blinds rind go out of business.

met'' Logging Camp. .
OREGON CITY. Aug. S. (Special.)
One thousand acres of timber are afire
seven miles east of Sprlngwater, about
25 miles from this city. Advices are
meager. A farmer from that locality
came Into town this morning and stated
that the fire started on the Willis places
last Friday, but did not become general
until this morning. The odor of -burning
wheat was very noticeable here this aft
ernoon. The country about Sprlngwater
Is mountainous, and some valuable tim
ber Is probably destroyed. Frank Busch,
a merchant of this city, has an Improved
ranch near the scene of the fire, and
fears that his buildings have .been burned.
Tho firos were undoubtedly started by
campers, as crowds of them have been
out In the mountains picking berries.
The atmosphere In the city this afternoon
was heavy with smoke from the burning
forest.

OREGON IS IX IT, TOO.
Nori-Competltlve O. R. & X. Points
Get Reduction of Grain Rates.
Some doubt having been expressed In
commercial circles as to whether the re
duced grain rates would be applied to
noncompetitive Oregon points east of the
Cascades (Governor McBrlde's sway not
reaching across the state line). General
Freight Agent "Miller, of the O. R. & N.,
yosterday said there would be no dis
crimination against Oregon producers.
The Grand Ronde Valley and other points
on the line of the O. B. & N. In Eastern
Oregon will get the same ratio of reduc
tion that Is accorded to Pendleton or
Walla. Walla or other towns where there
are competitive lines. Tho same propor
tional reduction will be made from Hepp
ner and stations on the Columbia River
above The Dalles.
All these reductions will go into bffect
at the same time the new ratos shall be
quoted for Eastern Washington points.
And the reductions will apply to Eastern
terminals as well as to the Western sea
board. O; R. & N. territory In Oregon
wllh be treated Just as liberally as the
highly competitive territory in Eastern
Washington. .
