"Special Agent."' a wen Known yesterday in an obscure hostlery at sixth Avenue and 56th Street Through the odor of escaping gas, a maid in the hotel wa drawn to a room occupied for the night previous by Al freU Kattringer, a public accountant, who lived with his wife, fattier and room was broken open and Kattringer found dead iu the bed. There was no ign of violence and it appeared to be 1 commonplace suicide. A coroner ana detectives made a sys tematic exaaniination of the body and room and immediately they began to discover things that set them to think ing, It wa observed that the transom of the room was half open, while the room 1 1 e .v- . 1 it I -munru uuiir ui me uuui preparations ltJjjJ revival for suicide bv gas. Mien the coroner came to examine the body closely, he discovered that the face was not black ened or discolored, as frequently happens in asphyxiatin case. Then he saw a large bruise just over the left ear, near the temple. It was such a contusion as might have been caused bv a hard fall or a blow from a heavy stick or blunt weapon. The coroner could not determine from a cursory examination whether the skull was fractured. That will be determined today by the coro ner's physician. Krattinger' brothers told the coro ner that there should be found on the body .a diamond pin, worth $1100 and a considerable amount of cash. The only thing found in the pocket was a cheap FLATTENING OFFERS pocket knife. There was no trace of the diamond pin It was subsequently ascertained by the coroner that the hotel register had been tampered with and the time of Krattinger's arrival changed. The hotel employes professed entire ignorance as to who had made the change. Krattin ger's father and brothers declared after the examination that they were posi tive the accountant had been murdered in his room early yesterday morning for his money and pin and that the thief and murderer had escaped by the Sixth Avtinue window after arranging the body neatly and turning on the gas to create the impression of suicide.

Corporations had grown so lawless and merciless as to cease to be cautious. But six months ago with the sudden nes of a meteor' flash, like a bolt out of a clear, sky, a new situation ap peered. First, came the cry of tainted money, which was so loud and so wide spread as to warn the corrupt and un scmplous men, to arm reformer with weapon they could never before carry and to push the cause of truth and honesty miles ahead. Following this was the equitable expose which has dealt corporation trickery a blow from which it will not soon recover. What all this promises for the work of the ChrUtian church can scarcely lie e timated. we are in the midst of an and if the church will only relate itself rightly to the move ment it may pave the way for the spir itual revival for which it has been long eagerly looking."
