CROOK Is at Last Identified. Chicago Indertakers Telephone To the Local Police That tha Dead Man Ws Charles Sweeney, of the Windy City Mysterious The porch climber who was shot and killed by Mounted Officer Harry Martin In a desperate running battle in Avondale Monday evening has been identified ai Charles Sweeney, of Chicago. The infor mation as to his identity came to the police in a peculiar way. A few minutes after midnight Detective Hueftlcin. who was temporarily In charge of the otflce at police headquarters, re ceived a long-distance telephone message from- Chicago.

The message came from llara A Kehoe. undertakers, at Sli West Madison street. Chicago. The speaker stated he had been Instruct ed to take charge of the body of the man who had been allot and killed by a pollce- an in Clncinnail. lie said the dead man had been Identified as Charles weene.

and that the iierson who had seen the body and identified it had come to Chicago and made arrangements to have the undertakers take charge of it. The local authorities were asked to have the body prepared for shipment to Chiiago at their exiiense. Hueftleln attempted to secure some more information about the dead man and who the person was who 'Identified but the undertaker woum not enlighten liim. The telephone message aroused ihe nart of the police, and It is the belief that some one Intimately acquainted wltli ihe dead crook identified the boily at the morgue, aud. not desiring to attract the attention of the police, kept ins iniormaiiou to himself, and went up to Chicago.

Was Pal of Sweeney. The police hae well-grounded suspicions that thia man was the pal of Sweeney, who was with him in the city, but did not take part in. the attempted porch-climbing jobs on Marion avenue, when Sweeney was caught, and met lua death. This is borne out by the mysterious visit paid to the morgun late Tuesday night by a man accompanied by a flashily drossed woman wearing many diamonds and jewelry. The woman seemed very nervous and hurried into the cooling room, "where Morgue Tender Schraffenberger had prepared the body for exhibition.

As soon aa the features were uncovered the woman gasped and then swooned. She was -carried into the oflVe or the morgue and revived. No Information could be obtained from the couple except that the woman said she waa from Delphos. Texas. The police now belle.

the woman was Intimately acquainted with trie dead robber, and probably had accompanied him here, and that the man with her was Axis partner In crlnv. Coroner Cameron was notified by the police or tne message imy reeelred from and he will -try to obtain more Information aliout the" man identity before he complies with the re auest to ship the body to Chicago. The remains of the dead robber were embalmed by Morgue Tender SchratTenber ger yesterday, and he used a new process of embalming, by which he expected the body could be kept on view for identifica tion for a month or more. Talked of Races. The dead man was fully Identified about midnight by the cashier of Hendrick res taurantT on Walnut street, near Sixth, a man who had frequently visited the place several evenings before.

The cashier accompanied an Eniji'ikeh reporter to the County Morgue, and. BJ soon as Tie viewed the body, said: I know him." He then stated that the fellow had -visited the restaurant and. after eating a meal, had taken a seat at the counter near the cash register. The cashier being mindful of his coin, moved up and at once took notice. lie states that there is no chance of his being mistaken.

Several men in the place talked of horse and the stranger said: "That the place to lose all your coin. I never go against it." He ntc sparingly and did not seem to have a large amount of money at his disposal. Several of the waiters in the place cor ro bora. ted the cashier, and there is no doubt but that the dead man had patronized the place, although he made but one remark that was remembered, and that was about the race track.

REQUEST, The Same as a Mandate, That Amor Smith Give Tp the Trusteeship Barton Works Political Pall Against Adams. arsciAk DiarATca to tbs mociiit. Washington. I. February 27.

The President decided to-day to reappoint Amor Smith. 8urveyor of Customs at Cincinnati, and the nomination will be transmitted to the Senate in the next day or two. It will be intimated to the Sur veyor, however, that it would be agreeable to the President if he relinquished the omce of Trustee of the Cincinnati Southern Rail way, or which he was recently named. Such an Intimation emanating from the White House naturally will be construed as a request, and it therefore may be anticipated that Mr. Smith will give up the Trusteeship unless he prefers to retire from his present position.

It is understood that the Trusteeship pays him only 2.50O a year, while the Surveyor-ship is worth double that sum. Thus, from a pecuniary standpoint, it should not be difficult for him to determine what course to pursue. It has been explained to the President that the duties fit the Trustee of the Cincinnati Southern th no sense interferes with those of the Surveyor, but. in the President Judgment, it Is better for a Federal official occupying an office like that of a Surveyor not to have that kind of a business connection. i tn Hlssuade the President from appointing former Circuit Judge J.

PROTEST Against Allowing Traction Company To Put Loop Across School Lot.

The Building Committee of the Board of Education yesterday received protests from citizens against allowing the Traction Company to put a loop across the new Clifton sehool lot. and referred the matter to the City Solicitor for an opinion as to their right to grant the request or tne company. It was decided to tear down the brick wall between the Hughes High School and Seventh District School, as It Is bulped. The Committee directed the Clerk to notify a florist, who is occupying a house purchased by the Board to afford additional ground for the Douglass School, on Chapel street, that he would either have to pay rent from November 6. or move.

The florist claims to have an agreement with some person that he can live there rent free until the plaee Is torn down. The committee knows nothing of such an agreement. The matter of putting fire escapes on the First. Twelfth and Twenty-fifth District Schools, was laid over until the next meeting, which will be held to-morrow or Sat urday. Superintendent of School Buildings Henry Klein reported that he could not find any suitsble temporary- ouarters for a school warehouse above Fourth street, and was told to look below Fourth street for one.

Thia is to be used until the new warehouse is built. WIRES Were Kept Hot Yesterday By the Local Telegraphers, Who Asked For Support of Their Bill. In to a circular letter of suggestion from Ia. W. Quirk, of St- Louis, Secretary of the Order of Railway Telegra- phera.

C. Porterfleld came down from Columbus yesterday for a conference with his newly appointed deputy in this district, F. N. Shanley. Many Instances of the disregard ot the fish and game laws In this locality have attracted the State Warden's attention particularly to this section, and lie is planing a jVigorous campaign for strictly enforcing the laws for fish tttid game protection and prosecuting offenders.

He proposes to secure to lovers of sport with the rod the old-time fishing in the Miami, and to fight strenuously all who are caught with seines. Regarding this Mr. Porterfleld called on several Cincinnati sportsmen and anglers, and had a long talk with Mr. Alexander Starbuck; who has made himself prominent all over the country as a fish protectionist. Mr.

Porterfleld spoke of his great disappointment at the failure of the last Legislature to consider the gun-license law. as it is his opinion that this would have been a wise measure and should have received attention. He states that Ohio is one of the four states east of the Mississippi that does not provide a hunting license. Insuring, he says, that "the dancers shall pay the fiddler." The amcfunt received in Illinois each year from this license is J.CM.I. and.

estimating what should be paid in each year in Ohio very conservatively, the amount should at least reach tiO.onO. which could be used to good advantage, not only for the sportsmen, but the country people all over the state would feel the benefit. The State Game Warden says that the fish car is about ready to start out on the spring trip to restock the streams over the state, having just been thoroughly done over and made as nearly a model In every respect as any fish car In the country. NEW POINTS Involvid in Repeal of Inheritance Tax Ls.w Now Worrying Attorneys and Others Interested. Now that the Supreme Court has passed upon the repeal of the direct inheritance tax law and has held that estates in which no inventory bad been filed prior to the repeal of the law are pxempt from payment of the tax.

tho next question to arise is. -Who is to pay the appraisers who made, the ap-praisment for this tax? Under the law the appraisers were paid out of the tax collected, but many appraisements bad been made prior to the repeal of tha Law. in which the inventories had not been filed and the appraisers did not get tbelr fees.
