DKXVHR, Colo., May 10. - The

tho motivo for tho murder and for

The body of Mrs. Wilson, a
wealthy and comely woman, was
found thrust into n packing box in

the fashionable Capitol Hill district.
Sim had linen strangled to death
with a cloth that had been twisted
about tho throat. Tho body was
found by hor husband and by Mrs.
Mabel Onlland, a daughter by a for

When the body was brought into
tho light, Die mystic symbol was no

the exact center of the forehead. On
each side of the linos of the tri
angle the skin had been cut in I wo
strips, bringing the symbol into hold

base touched the temples, while the

SISKIYOU CLUB
I The administration railroad regula
tion bill was today reported from
tho houso as n committee of the
, whole for final vote. This marks
tho beginning of the end of the fight
Jon the measure in the house.
It is likely that the vcrv few
changes will be made in tho form of J
the bill ns reported today and that
it will likely ho passed.
Only tho scarred and battered
wreck of the measure as it wont to
the house was left when the house
was finally ready to voto- on it.
Whole sections had been stricken out
and the whole measure was patched
with amendments.
Taft Satisfied.
President Taft., however, is satis
fied with the measure.
"I am not as familiar with the con-!
dition of the bill in the house as I
the senate," he declared. "Hut I
think positively the condition of the
bill in the senate will show that tho
bill has not been emasculated m
either house and that it contains all
the remedial features of the original
bill and that the things omitted are
neither substantial nor vital."
The sharpest skirmishing likely to
come up in the final stages of the
railroad bill fight will be over the
long and short haul clause.
The elauso provides that railroads
must not charge more for a short
haul than for a long haul over the
snnie line.
The administration does not favor
this amendment. The amendment,
however, was adopted in the commit-
ut this time of year. Last year only
light showers fell in May, while two
years ago the lust heavy rainfall of
tho year occurred on February 10.
