(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
CHICAGO Nov. 3.—A doctor’s dis-
covery of poison in a body today
started a fine thread from a snarl of
mystery that may unravel into a maze
of murder more appalling than any
in local crime history.
The mystery developed a week ago.
Detectives began a hunt for the "key”
thread and they think they found it
today when they announced that ex-
amination of the viscera of Policeman
Arthur Bissonnette revealed arsenic
poisoning.
Prepare for Arrest.
Immediately the police chief pre-
pared to arrest Mrs. Louise Vermilya
a widow with whom Bissonnette
boarded.
As the police investigation of Bis-
sonnette's death proceeded there wete
revealed eight other deaths within the
last few years of persons related or
closely associated with Mrs. Ver-
milya.
The eight other deaths were:
Fred Brinkamp first husband of
Mrs. Vermilya. He left $5000 to the
widow.
Charles Vermilya second husband
died two years ago leaving $2000.
Frank Brinkamp son by first mar-
riage. died a year ago leaving mother
$1200.
Harry J. Vermilya a stepson died a
year ago after a quarrel with his step-
mother over the sale of a house.
Lillian Brinkamp granddaughter of
Fred Brinkamp died in 1906 at the
home of Mrs. Vermilya.
Richard T. Smith died a year ago
while rooming at her home. Reputed
to have left her $2000 life insurance
and declared by some to have been a
third busband.
Cora Brinkamp daughter died
when eight years old.
Florence Brinkanip daughter died
aged 4. .
Will-Exhume Others.
Coroner Hoffman declared he would
cause to be exhumed the bodies of at
least some of the others to see it ar-
senic could be found. When first ex-
amined after Bissonnette's death Mrs.
Vermilya declared the policeman was
engaged to marry her. This was dis-
proved by the discovery later of His
will made only a short time before
leaving all his property amounting to
about $1500. to his fiancee. Miss Laura
Rivard of Marshall Minn. Other state-
ments made by her also were proved
to be untrue and Captain Harding
while unwilling to arrest her imme-
diately placed her under surveillance.
Reports received by the police from
Peoria Hl. where Mrs. Vermilya for-
merly lived indicated that corpses had
possessed a morbid fascination for her
and she had been attached to an un-
dertaking establishment there and
spent most of her leisure time aiding
the employes. This was further estab-
lished by the discovery of an almost
equal friendship for an undertaker
here.
DECGRATED BY THE POPE
High Honor Conferred Upon Ameri-
can for Benefactions. •
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.)
NEW YORK Nov. 3. —Word has
reached this city from Rome that the
pope has conferred upon Frederic
Courtland Penfield of this the
grand cross order of St. Gregory in
recognition of his benefactions to
Catholic educational institutions. He

of which there are four degrees.
NI’NAMARA JURY IS
STILL INCOMPLETE
Attorneys Expreae Relief That Full
Number Will Be Obtained About
Christmas Time.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
LOS ANGELES. Nov. 3.—Within
striking distance of reaching a panel
of twelve talesmen against whom both
the defense and prosecution planned
to direct a first broadside of peremp-
tory challenges the McNamara mur-
der trial went listlessly forward today.
It is hoped to obtain a jury about
Yuletide.
Reports from Indianapolis as to the
availability of certain evidence de-
sired by the prosecution here stimu-
lated Interest. '
The staio’-a-attorney admitted that
an important link to them in the
chain of evidence which they hoped
to cast around the defendant was
lodged in Indiana and they considered
the passage of the books and papers
in question into federal jurisdiction at
Indianapolis a definite step forward
toward getting them back here.
McNamara declared firmly he will
be a free man soon. He has absolute
confidence in the ability of his at-
torneys to win the case for him and
says he is not worried.
Circumstantial evidence win play
a big part in the trial and on it the
state will depend strongly. The state
prefers the challenges against persons
expressing nonbelief in such evidence.

CHICKENS ROOSTING ON
BACK KEEP COW WARM
Bovine's Sagacity Provides Her Wltli
Nearly Ail the Comforts of a
Feather Bed.
While unable to sleep in a feathet
bed these cold nights a cow belonging
to George Bell official stenographer
for the Thirty-seventh district court
achieves the same result by inducing
chickens to roost on her back. The
wisdom of the cow was revealed when
Mr. Bell entered the cow lot at dawn
this morning.
At first in the dint light he was
unable to account’ for the bulging ap-
pparance of the cow’s back. Closer
inspection revealed a number of
chickens comfortably roosting on the
cow's spine. The cow was contentedly
chewing her cud. Mr. Bell will keep
watch to see if the cow lets the chick-
ens roost on her on all nights or only
when the temperature is low.

Memliers of Publicity League Take
Day Off But Will Resume Work
Tomorrow.
Because of the opening of the fail
today members of the Publicity
league took a brief respite from their
work of raising $20000 wit g which to
give San Antonio the proper amount
of advertising during the winter sea-
son. The campaign for funds will be
resumed with renewed vigor tomor-
row and those engaged in the work
are confident of obtaining substantial
returns.
President Fred Reutzel considers
that the heavy rain of yesterday will
give a decided impetus to the work
and is of the opinion that the remani-
der of the fund will be acquired witn-
out much difficulty. He reasons that
the rains have pTafeif the city and
this entire section in fine condition
for an active and prosperous winter
season and that therefore the busi-
ness interests will respond generously
to a means of gieatly increasing the
number of winter visitors.
Two committees were at work yes-
terday and in the course .of the day
obtained renewals to subscriptions of
mote than $1000 and secured new
subscriptions amounting to $386.

SHANGHAI. Nov. 3.—The aracnal
and native city of Shanghai were
taken over by the revolutionist* late
this evening. No resistance was of-
fered by the authorities or such of
tho public as remain loyal. It Is ex-
pected that Wu Sung at the mouth
of the Wu Sung river and ten miles
north of Shanghai and one of the
up-river forta will fall tonight.
It is confidently believed that Nan-
king and Ching Kiang will be cap-
tured by the rebels tomorrow.
MariiH-H Are Lauded.
Some cf the foreign warships land-
ed marines in this city before the
rebels took possession. Foreign vol-
unteers were called out and have
taken every precaution to protect the
concessions.
It is reported that the rebels at Kiu
Kiang have seized the British'tug-
boat Sampson.
. It became evident early in the after-
noon that the revolutionists proposed
to assume control of affairs here with-
in a short time though it was not
thought that they would occupy the
before night. As the day pro-
gressed the revolutionary flag was
hoisted over all the buildings m the
vicinity of the arsenal and tnousands
wearing on (heir arms tho white band
insignia of the constitutionalists gain-
creu in the street.
J he police anu native soldiers made
no attempt to interfere and on the
contrary iraternized with the insur-
gents.
The Tao Tai. realizing tho inevit-
able caused notices to be posted
stating that the native city might be
taken over by the revolutionists to-
night and expressing the hope that
the public would not be thrown into
a panic and that the shops selling
food should not be closed except at
)he usual hour.
Mob Grows larger.
At 5:30 o’clock all the telephone
and telegraph communication with the
arsenal was cut oft. The rebel
throng grew to greater proportions
and in the natural excitement a num-
ber ol' shots were fired by the gov-
ernm. nt forces in the direction of
tho mob but these were without ef-
fect and it was plain that the Chinese
soldiers the police and the native
volunteers were all in sympathy with
the revolutionists. At this point the
Tao Tai tied and the arsenal and
native etty quietly capitulated.
The revolutionary leaders here have
telegraphed General Li Yuen Heng
the head of the rebel movement ad-
vising him to cease hostilities pend-
ing diwelopments at Pekin.
Their message is being forwarded
to General Li from Wu Hu by a spe-
cial dispatch boat.
Complaints reached this city today
that the rebels holding the forts be-
low Kiu Kiang have been firing in-
discriminately at steamers passing
that city in the night.

sembly today completed a draft of the

struct the new constitution of China.
It was submitted to the throne and

Tho tentative plan provides for tho
perpetuity of the Manchu dynasty but

stricted by tho constitution which is to
be written by tho national assembly
and subject to amendment by parlia-
ment.
The imperial princes are made In-
eligible to tho offices of premier
members of tile cabinet and adminis-
trators of the provinces.
The draft In part is as follows:
The emperor shall reign forever.
A person of the Ta Ching dynasty
< the great pure dynasty the same be-
ing the name adopted by the ruling
family) shall be emperor inviolable.
The power of the emperor shall be
limited by the constitution.
The constitution shall be drawn up
and adopted by tho national assembly
and promulgated and will be promul-
gated by the emperor.
The priwer of amending the consti-
tution shall belong to parliament.
The members of the upper house
shall be elected by the people from
[ among those particularly eligible.
i Parliament shall elect and the em-
i peror shall appoint the premier who
will recommend the other members of
the cabinet who also shall be ap-
pointed by the emperor. The im-
"perial princes will be ineligible for tho
office of premier or members of the
cabinet or administrative heads of the
provinces.
The emperor shall assume direct
control of the army and navy but
when this power is used in connection
with the internal affairs the emperor
must observe special conditions to be
decided by parliament.
The imperial decrees cannot be is-
sued to replace the law except in the
event of urgent necessity.
International treaties shall not bo
concluded without the consent of par-
liament. In case the financial budget
fails to receive the approval of parlia-
ment the government may not act
upon the budget of the previous year
nor may it make expenditures not pro-
vided for 1n the budget or be append-
ed thereto. The government shall not
adopt extraordinary' financial meas-
ures outside the budget.
