Prior to the descent upon the capital George S. Wilson, the Democratic choice tor speaker of the house, together with James E. Btone. the cftief clerk of the house, opened headquarters at the Seel-bach, Lcuisvllle, where they were entertaining the solons. The elimination of interest in the race for speaker, by the withdrawal of all opposition, to Mr. Wilson has detracted from the formal opening of thj session much which usually went to make it exciting.The absence of a senatorial ■'race at this time also eliminates a factor of giuch interest, but this does not mean that there will be no politics played during the coming legislative session. On the other hand, some of the liveliest polities known here for many years will be on. The adherents of the different factions already are Jockeying for positions. There is much curiosity as to the possible attitude of former Governor J-C. W. Beckham as to party policy. If anyone presumes for a minute that the former governor is down and out, so far as the Democr'tic party is concerned, he is apt to awaken some day and face one of the biggest surprises of his career. Governor Beckham, It is believed, is playing a shrewd game at present He Is advertising the fact, when questioned, that he positively is not a candidate for any position. Neither the- governorship nor the sena-torship two years hence could tempt him, he asserts.After Some Scalps.There is one thing the governo: is out for, however, and that is the scalps of the men who put him out of the senatorial race two years agd.

He had been dead for hours, and' the vast vacant loft was filled with escaping gas from a broken pipe just above his head. There were no marks of violenoe on the body.Nathanson failed to return home last niglit and, when morning came, his wife reported his absence to the police. A search was instituted this morning. Mrs. Nathanson called up her husband’s partner, Isaac H. Gold, and he, his wife and Mrs. Nathanson went to the factory! Gold, the only person except Nathanson who had a kej? to the loft, opened the door. A rush of gas met him, but, before he had time to cloee the door again, Mrs. Nathanson saw her husband dead in the chair. She shrieked and fell in a faint across the threahld.Body Bound to Chair.Minute examination showed that the body had been thrice wound with halfinch rope under the arms and bound to the back of the chair. Both legs were fastened to the legs of the chair. The right hand was free, but the left hand was bointct with two twists and so firmly knotted to( a,n arm of th« chair that the coroner said he could-1 not believe that a: man with only one free hand could have tied the knots. The hands and rope were both-stained red with some substance not blood. The chair had been backed Up against a pillar, and tfte'loose ends of the knot that bound the ’jody'to the frame had been knotted again behind the pillar. i. Thus the body was bound to the chair and the chair bound to the pillar.On .the floor were a few loose coins. There was no money in the pockets, one of which had been turned inside out, and Nath^naon’s. key to the loft was also missing. Hia desk, which adjoined his partner’s, was opened and littered torn and crutnpted papers.Woman’s Kid Glove Found.On a sample table was a woman's lined kid glove, torn and partly turned inside out. The safe was locked. Near it lay Nathanson’s hat and above It the gas lamp had been broken.Nathanson, so far as is known, had no reason to commit suicide. He was 49 years old, in the best of health, his business was solvent and he lived happily with his wife and daughter. Two sons, Benjamin and John, are in business at Fayetteville, Tenn.The police detained the partner on the strength of what they say is a disagreement between his own story of his movements last night and that told by his wife. However, before the coroner Gold w^s so frank and willing in his statements that he was released in 11,000 bail.Articles Bearing Laundry Marks “A. L.” Discovered. Near Scene of Friday Night’s Crime.On suspicion of having knowledge of the murder of Miss Anna Lloyd, In Fairmount, Friday everting, Henry Cook, butcher, 34 years old, living at 3115 Spring Grove avenue, and James Fields, negro laborer, 21 years old, living at Cummins and Dempsey streets, were lodged in Central police station early this morning after being arrested by Detectives ©ell and Schaeffer and Night Chief Corbin and Detective Keufers.Cook was arrested about 9:30 o’clock last night at the home of a friend at the corner of Pulte and Beek-man streets, by Detectives ©ell and Schaeffer. Fields wadHal^n In custody two hours later at the- corner of Dempsey and Beekman streets as he was leaving a street car.While the police will not state what specific grounds they have for holding tho men, #hey intimate they have a fair case against Cook and Coroner Coe states they are holding both men for Investigation.The arrests were not made known for some hours after t^e men were taken. They were taken to police headquarters In the police automobile^ about 1 o’clock this morning, and for the next hour were questioned by Coroner Coe In the office of the chief of detectives.Cook is a small dark complexloned man. The two men are known to be friends- Neither has a police record as far as known.Asked if Cook had established an alibi, Coroner Coe stated he had not.Find Bloody Gloves.With the finding of a blood-stSTfSW'* canvas working glove, a blood-spotted white handkerchief and a soiled blue and white polka dot handkerchief, the first definite clew in the horrible Lloyd murder mystery developed yesterday afternoon at the scene of the crime. The grewsome discovery, which had been overlooked by thousands Who tramped their morbid way about the death pit, serves as a connecting link in the path which the murderer is supposed to have taken in making hi« escape.The blotched path markers were discovered laying on the south side qf the Hopple street embankment, 200 feet north where the body was found and about 200 feot west of the Hopple street bridge . . Mill creek, by William jAnson, Beekman street; Raymond Sinklefj Hopple and Beekman, and John Clancey, Dunham street. The latter two are boys who were walking along Hopple street with Johnson, who is employed at the Wlborg-Hanna planing mill. The find marks the path taken from the scene of the murder and points the direction which the murdered girl took in getting the C-, H. D. tracks. A mile and a half north, near Westfork bridge, Miss Lloyd’s pocketbook containing a bit of change, handkerchiefs and insurance papers was found Saturday afternoon. Handkerchiefs Marked “A. L-”On each of the two white handkerchiefs, only one of which is stained with blood, the initials “A. L. are marked after the usual style of laundriea The lettering is executed, in indelible Ink-Owing to the coincidence that the initials on the handkerchiefs correspond with those of Miss Lloyd, a tangent is struck from the theory that those initials may offer a olew to the murderer; however, the investigators wUl not abandon their efforts to eliminate tne possibility that another person with the same initials may have had some connection with the crime. The fact that Miss Lloyd had been suffering with a slight cold in the head for several days may account for her carrying kerchiefs of the size usually affected byAnother important occurrence during. the night of the murder, last Friday, was the holding up of a man named William Klinkhoff, who lives on the Creek road. According to the story of the man, he was on his way home from worjc and had taken the railroad tracks south. ^ Ho had just passed the Wiborg-Hanna office and was nearing the Fairmount C., H. 4). station when, he says, two negroes stepped out in front of him and he heard one say:“Hit him.”Klinkhoff says he dodged and turned back, running perhaps fifty feet when he stopped and picking up a lump of coal, hurled it at the' two men who turned and made their wayQ among the cars. Jut what the incident may lead to is not vouchsafed by the police, who are endeavoring to gain a better description qf men. Klinkhoff says he believes he was accosted by the twlt;r negroes some time between 6 and 6:30 ('clock Friday evening. Although not being, able to define the exact time, the thinks the incident happened nearer 6 than 6:30 Vciock.Llttlo Faith In Theory.The police have little faith in the theory that the same then who figured the baffling McDonald.
