Relatives of Rich Girl
Now Think She
Is Dead,
Philadelphia, Dec. 21.—Circumstances
surrounding the disappearance of Miss
Ida May Miller, or Mrs. Rolando
Kuehn, said to be heiress to $500,000,
began to assume today a tragic com*
plexlon. Relatives, accompanied by At
torney Rowland C. Evans, assistant city
solicitor, and private detectives,
scended upon the Friends’ Asylum for
the Insane at Frankford, and searched
the Institution from eellnr 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
ic institution.
Says She Was Hiding.
Dr. Rolando Kuehn, who says he Is
the husband of the heiress and whoi.n
the relatives of the girl charge with
having taken advantage of her dis
turbed mental condition, mado the as
sertion that last Saturday night when
the police broke Into his house, at 1219
South Fifteenth street, Miss Miller was
there.
It Is very likely that Dr. Kuehn will
be arrested, for one of the most serious
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 crystalized.
Girl Put in Asylum.
Mr. Evans, of counsel for the rela
tives, stated that he had secured much
evidence tending to show that Dr,
Kuehn conspired with another man ».o
gain control of the girl, and that as
soon as they found she was mentally
weak they arranged the marriage and
then quietly had the woman taken to
the asylum, so that in case hIjq should
be demanded by her relatives, her
mental state would bo improved*

Washington, Dec. 21.—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 analyzed the at
tltude-of the president In ar^ effort to
convince the senate the president mis
conceived both his constitutional pow
ers with respect to the action he has
taken concerning the negro battalion
and the testimony upon which his ac
tion was based.
Attacks Exscutive Action.
Although he was twice Interrupted by
Scnutors Lodge and Knox, he dealt
with the entire range of the subject
and cieated 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 General
Lee's evidence may have been I do not
undertake to say; but there Is'no prec
edent In either the volunteer or regular
service for what the president has done
here. Certainly none so far ns A*e
have been advised. Therefore, I say
again, somebody Imposed upon him.
When the president undertakes to say
that there are plenty of precedents for
v/hat he has done, I say there are no
precedents.**
“There it 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
wai done during time of war, but be
cause It was done before the articles of
war in the form In which I have read
them were pluced In t^e statutes of the
United States. Since these articles
were framed and promulgated ns they
are today 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'Is Postponsd.
When Senator Foraker concluded his
remarks he received consent to modify
the resolution ho 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 to Mr. Fora-
ker> speech.
The resolution of Mr. Foraker goes
over without action until after the holi
day recess. •

WRONG ARISTOPHANES;
COL. TOM HUDSON DTD
HTS BEST TO PLEASE
What time Colonel Tom Hudaon la
not busy showing Georgia farmers the
way 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 politician all right,
but he’s much more than that—he’s a
man with the milk of human kindness
fairly overflowing his whole system.
Now and then tide obliging spirit anil
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 seal.
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 flrst one.
"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 Hudeon said he knew him.
That is the way of him. He wouldn't
openly confese that there’s a man,
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 he argued
that the name was unuscl and easy to
locate. The sequel Is sad.
So Colonel Hudaon came up to Atlan
ta and made an eloquent plea for the
pardoning of Aristophanes. The prison
commission gave him respectful hear
ing until he 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 he
didn't know' the other pnrt of Arts-
and get the right one by finding ths
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 nnd met the neighbor for
whom he hail performed the errand.
“Well,” said Colonel Hudson, genial
ly. "guess old Aristophanes Is back at
work for you now?"
“Like biases he Is. You got the
wrong Aristophanes pardoned!”
