Relatives of Rich Girl

Philadelphia, Dec. 11.—Circumstances
surrounding the disappearance of MWs
Ida Mar Miller, or Mrs. Rolando
Kuehn, said to be heiress to $600,000,
began to assume today a tragic com
plexion. Relatives, accompanied by At
torney Rowland C. Evane, assistant city
solicitor, and private detectives, de
scended upon the Friends’ Asylum for
the Insane at Frankford, and searched
the Institution from cellar to garret.
Not a trace of Miss Miller was found
and the surgeons and attendants, while
asserting that she was not there, did
not deny that she had been a patient at
•tic Institution.
Says She Was Hiding.
Dr. Rolando Kuehn, who says he le
the hueband of the heiress and whom
the relatives of tho girl charge with
having taken advantage of her dis-
rbed mental condition, made the as
sertion that last Saturday night when
ths police broke into hts house, at 1219
South Fifteenth street. Miss Miller was
there.
4 Is very likely that Dr. Kuehn will
be arrested, for one of the most serlguu
charges possible to bring. The rela
tives of the girl, after the unsuccessful
search of the asylum, found their re
cently growing belief that she was
dead, suddenly crystallxed.
Girl Put in Asylum.
Mr. Evans, of connsel for the rela
tives, stated that he hod secured much
evidence tending to show that Dr.
Kuehn conspired with another man
gain control of the girl,-and that as
soon as they found she was mentally
weak they arranged the marriage anJ
then quietly had the woman taken to
the asylum, so that In case she should
be demanded by her relatives, her
mental state would be Improved.

January L
Washington, Dec. II.—For nearly
three hours Senator Foraker, of Ohio,
addressed the senate yesterday on the
subject of the president's dismissal of a
battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
(colored) In connection with the
Brownsville, Texas, affray.
With characteristic vigor and bold
n»ss, the Ohio senator analysed the at
titude of the prealdent In an effort to
onvlnce the senate the prealdent mis
conceived both hla constitutional pow
ers with respect to the action he haa
taken concerning the negro battalion
end the testimony upon which Ills ac
tion was based.
Attacks Exscutlvs Action.
Although he was twice Interrupted by
Senators Lodge and Knox, he dead
with the entire range of the subject
and created a decided Impression upon
the senators; The speech of Mr. Fora
ker, although he endeavored to be con
servative, was a severe attack upon
executive action.
Senator Foraker. after reading ex
tracts from the material sent to the
senate by the president, added:
"Senators will study in vain to find a
precedent connected with the United
States Army. The nearest approach to
It Is a precedent given of action by
General Lee in discharging a regiment
of Confederate soldiers. What Gonenl
Lee's evidence may have been I do not
undertake to May; but there Is no prec
edent in either the volunteer or regular
service for what tho prealdent has done
here. Certainly none so far as #e
have been advised. Therefore, I say
again, somebody Imposed upon him.
TVhc:i tho president undertakes to say
that there are plenty of precedents for
what he haa done, I say there are no
precedents." .
"There is no Precedent.”
Mr, Foraker said that whatever prec
edents there may have been in the case
of General Grant or General Lee com
manding In the field during the time of
war, would not apply to time of peace.
"What may have been done during
the civil war," Mr. Foraker continued,
"would not only not apply because It
was done during time of war, but ba-
cause It was done before the articles of
war in the form In which I have read
them were placed in the statutes of the
United States. Since these articles
were framed ajid promulgated as they
are teday no man can be convicted of
an offense without first having a chance
before a court-martial to make his de
fense, face his accusers and cross-ex
amine the witnesses who seek to dis
grace him before the world.”
Resolution la Postponed.
W hen 8enator Foraker concluded his
remarks he received consent to modify
the resolution so that It now directs the
senate committee on military affairs «o
Investigate the circumstances leading
up to the discharge of the negro troops.
Mr. Lodge replied briefly lo Mr. Fora-
kef's speech.
'ITie resolution of Mr. Foraker goes
over without action until after the holl
day recess.

WRONG ARISTOPHANES;
COL. TOM HUDSON DID
HTS BEST TO PLEASE
What time Colonel Tom Hudion If
not busy showing Georgia farmers the
tvay to become plutocrats he Is per
forming some kind of good office for
friend or constituent.
For Colonel Hudson does not know
how to say no to any kind of a re
quest. Yes, he's a pollttclun all right,
but ho'a much more than that—he’s, a
man with the milk of human kindness
fairly overflowing his whole system.
Now and then this obliging spirit and
kindly disposition to do all kinds of
odd behests leads him into complicated
situations. Occasionally he finds in
gratitude. But nothing sours him. He
goes ahead willingly to aid the next
unfortunate with a new zeal.
Which leads up to a trouble that over
took him not so many months ago. A
friend and neighbor down In south
Georgia was very much Interested In
getting a pardon for a good old negro,
who had got himself Into trouble by a
small offense—his first one. I
"Tom,” said the neighbor. "I want
you to get Aristophanes out of the
pen. You know old Aristophanes that
worked for me so long?”
Colonel Hudson said he knew him.
That Is the way of him. He wouldn't
openly confess that there's a min,
woman or child, white or black, In
Georgia that he doesn't know person
ally. Least of all Any one in his neck
o' the woods. Unfortunately he did not
recall old Aristophanes, but ha argued
that the name was unusal and easy to
locate The sequel Is sad.
Ho Colonel Hudson came up to Atlan
ta and made an eloquent plea for the
pardoning of Aristophanes. The prison
commission gave him respectful hear
ing until hn concluded. Then one of
the commissioners Inquired:
"Colonel Hudson, will you be kind
enough to give us the other section of
Aristophanes’ name? There are three
In the Georgia penitentiary bearing that
euphonious name.”
Colonel Hudson looked blankly at
his Interrogator. Finally he said ho
didn't know the other • part of Aris
tophanes’ patronymic. After much pui-
iIIuk. he determined to trust to luck,
and get the right one by finding the
locality he came from.
Aristophanes was pardoned and Col
onel Hudson went away glowing with
the thought of a good deed performed.
A few weeks later he was In the south
Georgia town and met the neighbor for
whom he had performed the errand.
"Well." said Colonel Hudson, genial
ly, "guess old Aristophanes Is back at
work for you now 7"
“Like biases ha Is. You got ths
wrong Aristophanes pardoned!”
