The St. Louis Boodle Cases Two Checks Aggregating $47,500 flashed on Day Horse of Del gates Made Lightning Contract. St. I.ouis, Sept. 26. ? Development* in the "Hoodie" investigation were sensational today, mi b poena* having been issued at the iostanco of Circuit Attorney Folk CDiumanding Broker dames C. Campbell and Win. Herd, his cashier, to appear in court with two checks a??sjroiratin?r $47,500. dated November 2S, 1S09, and payable to Etl Butler, r. prominent losal politician, and to explain the purposes for which the checks were drawn. It was found on investigation by the grand jury that both checks had been cashed and returned to Hroker Campbell. The date of these checks, was the same as the day on which the ton year lightning bill pasted the house of delegates, for which nineteen members are said to have received $2,500 each for their votes. Up to a late hour deputy sheriffs wero unable to serve the subpoenas. At Broker Campbell's office it was stated that Reed had not been there since yesterday and that his employer was in the east. Another session of the grand jury was hold to-day, several witnesses being examined. The last session before the final meeting and report of Monday will be held tomorrow. An additional ffort to secure the release on writs of habeas corpus, of the four former members of the house of delegates, who are now in jail awaiting trial on charges of bribery and perjury, failed. Judge Valiant, of the supremo court, before whom this petition was taken denied the application, d?o claring lie had no jurisdiction. Hard On The Jews. Washington, Sept. 20.?The report that the goverraent of Roumania has discontinued the issuunce of passports to Jews intending to emigrate to America, though not officially confirmed, is regarded by tho Washington authorities as an immediate and direct recognition by Roumania of tho accuracy of the statements made by Secretary Hay in the note respecting the evils of this Jewish immigration and the underlying cause. Tho reported suspension of emigration would be regarded as removing the only direct issue between tho United States and Roumania and while we may continue to have a deep concern in the betterment of tho condition of Roumanian Jews, the United States government must, for tho time, rest content with what it has done in tho issue of the note to the powers. 1 OUT OF DEATH'S JAWS, n "When deuth seemed very near I from a severe stomach and liver \ trouble, that 1 had suffered with for years," writos P.

The police also say that knockout drops were first administered and that then the victim was dragged into the basement and killed with a cleaver. The odor of tunning flesh at traded the attention of the occupant of the upper part if the house early this morning and led to the discovery by detectives of Lho nude and headless holy of a | man iu the basement.
