Authori ties Suspect Murder VICTIM Strong efforts are being made by the police to solve tho mystery In the death of William II. Fleming, of, 133$ Spruco street, a lecturer on Bhakcspeare, whose dccnpltntcd body was found on Thursday on the tracks of the Pennsylvania Rail road, near Iroquois, Ta. Tho railroad police, are aiding In the Investigation to determine whether Mr. Fleming was mur dered, committed suicide or was killed accidentally. Mr. Fleming, who was 42 years old, was reported to be fairly well to do, and the theory has been advanced that he was murdered on a lonely road near Iroquois, which Is 21 miles west or Harrlsburg, by a gan got thugs, who threw tho body on tho tracks to conceal the exact place of the murder. All of the valuables had betn taken from tho dead man's cloth ing, and this Is the strongest Indication to tho police that he was murdered. Identification of tho body was made through a tailor's label found In the trousers. These trousers were made by Louis Backe, 1211 Rldgc avenue, this city, who said today he remembered Mr. Flem ing. Today the Rev. Dr. R. K. Terkes, rec tor of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, Woodland avenue near 34th street, also notified the police that from partial Identification reported from Iroquois, he believed the victim to be Fleming. The dead lecturer was reputed to have a small fortune. A sister. Miss Mary Fleming, lives at the Aldlne Hotel, Chest nut street near 19th, and a brother George N. Fleming, a broker, with offices at Eth and Chestnut streets, lives at E331 Pulaski avenue, Germnntown. Both of them were today In Now York, visiting another brother, who Is a physician, and could not be reached by the police to be Informed of their brother's death.

The Director at the same lime took oc inslon to deny tho chnrge that the pollco uere being ued to further the Interests of nny particular candidate or any partic ular party. "I nm determined that wo shall hae nn honest election, no matter who must suffer,", he declared. Tho evidence of fraud, he said, were not confined to nny particular" wnrd or to nny particular part of the city, but were scattered quite equally, it has been estimated by those cloio to the Commit tee of Seventy that the registration lists this yenr have been padded to the cx 1 tout of 25,0 names by the Organization nenchmen. The divisions canvassed were thoso where violations of the law were known to be most flagrant. It Is likely that n canvass will be continued In other districts where fraud to a lesser degree Is suspected. DONNER-FRICK CAPITAL BUYS CAMBRIA STEEL Control of Concern Passes From P. R. R. After a Month's Transaction Control of the Cambria, Steel Company lias been bought by William II. Donner, president of tho company: Henry fj. Krlck and allied Interests, after tranF actions had been carried on for more than a month, It nas learned today. A dal for,contro: of tho Pennsjhanln Steel Company has, nt the same time, been carried so far toward completion that It Is expected In financial circles that Charles M. fichnab, head of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, will obtntn the control. If thnt airangemcnts falls, Pennsylvania Steel probably will be bought by DonnerFrlck Interests, and then will be merged v,lth Cambria Steel nnd a third corporation believed to be the Lnckawannn Steel Company. The control of Cambria Steel passed from the Pennsjlvanla Railroad Company to tho Donncr-Frlck Inlet cuts throu;h sale of the Pennsylvania Company's hold ings In tho open market. Negotiations for the sale of the Pennsylvania Steel Company were carried on at a confeicnce In Broad Street Station esterday. In which Mr. Scwab met E. T. Stotesbury, a director of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, and Henry Tatnnll. vice presi dent In charge of finance and a director of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

"XKfV l.Tfi si VJC rgi MANY FALLACIES have been exploited by Prohibitionists to create the impression that Abraham Lincoln was an advo cate of the Impractical proposition of law placing a ban upon the use of liquors, when FACTS are to the contrary and point to the great Emancipator being a supporter of Temperance in all things. And Temperance means moderation not Prohibition. LINCOLN was himself a dealer in alcoholics. In Nlcolay & Hay's history of the lamented President (vol. I, chap. 4) it is recorded: "By virtue of , half a dozen signatures. Berry and Lin coln became proprietors of the only mercantile establishment in the village" (New Salem, Illinois). "T N the Spring of the next year, finding their merchandise gaining them little or nothing, they X concluded to keep a tavern in addition to their other business, and the recordt of the com pany, according to Sangamon county, shows that Berry took out a license for that purpose on the 6th of March, 1833. A copy of the original license, which appears below, presents evidence which cannot be disputed: LICENSE (0 BERRY & LINCOLN AND it is a further FACT, recorded in history, that ia an ad dress delivered February M, 1142, before the Springfield Washingtonian Temperance Society. Lincoln said; "Too much denunciation against dram-sellers ana dram-drinkers was indulged in. This, I think, was both impolitic and unjust." THUS is shown the FACT that Lincoln did believe in the mod. crate use of liquor and that he o thoroughly approved that he owned a tavern,, where was dispensed alcoholic stimvilanU t0 others.
