The sound came from the direction of Mr. Lemp's room. The servants who hurried to the apartment found Mr. Lemp lying on the floor, a revolver clutched In his right hand and a bullet wound in his temple. One of the servants ran to the brewery office, near by, and summoned the two sons.

TO INVESTIGATE WIDE-OPEN TOWN Grandjury Has Information That the Excise Law Is Being Violated. OFFICIALS' SHIFT BLAME Commissioner Siebert, Who Has Ab solute Authority to Revoke Licenses, Says It's a Police Duty. The grandjury will on Monday ask the pfKe court for Instructions and for In formation which wil guide the members an Investigation of violations of the ex cise law. The body will endeavor to fix the re sponsibility for violations where It belongs, either on the Excise Commissioner Seibert tr the police department. The violations which prompt the Investi gation are open saloons after 1 o'clock in the morning, open saloons all over the city ail day Sunday, sale of liquor to minors and gambling In saloons.

He Insists that they hiiouiu hibkc miesia aim pi ostiCUte IOr CV ery violation of the law. The police say that when thev tried this several years ago, it was impossible to ob tain convictions necanse public sentiment tavorea tne violations or tne law.

rhey say that the commissioner Is hot nanuicappeu oy naving to depend upon Juries for convictions, as he has absolute au thority to revoKe tne license of any saloon the proprietor or which offends against any provision or the law, without trial by jury, court instructions or anything of the son. The police records of men connected with resorts that have been raided during The past year have been asked for by the grandjury. If the grandjury nnds that Commissioner Seibert is res-ponsihle for the failure to enforce tne provisions of the excise Lim it is understood mat a strone demand will be made on him to revoke the licenses of all saloons whose proprietors are found to be offenders. It is also saia mat lr tne demand Is not effective, other steps will be taken against tne commissioner.

It is evident, I think, that the landing operations she carried out in Corea are merely preliminary to further actions. She wants to carry her troops over undisputed waters to the shores of Manchuria, and before her transports can traverse those waters in security she must dispose of the Russian torpedo boats.

"Where those boats are and what they will do is now an interesting question. Once they are destroyed the Japanese may land almost anywhere outside the range of the guns at Tort Arthur. If she throws a force ashore north of Talienwan she cuts the communications of the Russian troops on the Yalu and isolates Tort Arthur.
