LOCAL POLICE Oil LOOKOUT FOR THE BRUTAL MURDERER

Are Assisting Connersville Police In Unraveling One of the Most Brutal Crimes Ever Committed. MRS. JOHN WILSON IS . THE VICTIM OF BRUTE tyell Known Woman Beaten to Death by Fiend and Placed In Bed Husband Makes The Discovery. , The Richmond police are on the lookout for a colored man, whose name is unknown and whose description, furnished by the Connersville police, is ery meagre. This man is believed to be the murderer of Mrs. John Wilson of Connersville. The crime was committed yesterday morning and' is one of the most revolting in the criminal history of Eastern Indiana. V The unknown colored 'man is believed to be insane. ; The following dispatch from Connersville, tells., the story of the erime. Mrs. John Wilson, 34 years old, was murdered in , her home in the north part of this city some time yesterday morning. The woman's husband, who is' a plumber, went to work at 7 o'clock yesterday morning and when he returned home at ' noon for dinner he found the body of his wife lying on a bed, with the covers drawn up over her body and her hands crossed upon her bosom. Her skull was crushed and her face covered with blood. The room contained many evidences of a struggle. The stove pipe had been knocked down, chairs turned over and a window near the bed and the wall on the opposite side of the room "were spattered with blood. Iron Rod Probable Weapon. A section of a rod such as is used in the running gears of a freight car, was found in the stove. On one end of this was an ordinary nut which had blood upon it. The coroner believes that the murderer used this weapon upon Mrs. Wilson. The police are looking for a colored man who was seen in the neighborhood yesterday morning. Coroner Spicely said tonight that the best clew he had points to this unidentified man as the perpetrator of the crime. The police have been making a vigorous search for the suspect, who was seen last evening and early this morning in the neighborhood. At least four persons reported that they had seen the man. ' Mrs. Wilson lived near the terminus of Twenty-first street. The last seen of the suspect was on Twenty-first street, not more than " three blocks from the Wilson home. . The man's actions created the Impression that he was Insane. He was shabbily dressed, had a red handkerchief about his neckand apparently. had r rags wrapped about his shoes so that he might "move about noiselessly. ; It is said he carried a heavy iron rod or black stick. No Motive ( For Crime- Known. The police believe that if this man can be found much will have been accomplished toward clearing the mystery. Details of the murder of Mrs. Wilson are particularly revolting and no motive is assigned for the crime. When found by the husband the body lay on a bed with the hands folded across " her bosom. The head was beaten almost to a pulp and blood was strewn about the room. The stove Piles Quickly Cored at Home fnetant Relief, Permanent Cure Trial Package Mailed Free to All In Plain Wrapper.

Hon. William Dudley Foulke Pays a ' Glowing Tribute to Retiring Executive Prominent Richmond Man Is Weil Qualified to Speak of Ex-President Roosevelt As r He Has Been An Intimate Friend for Several Years.

Perhaps one of ex-President Roosevelt's warmest and most enthusiastic admirers is the Hon. William Dudley Foulke of this city. He and Mr. Roosevelt have for j years been warm personal friends, therefore Mr. Foulke Is well qualified to tell of the qualities of this most remarkable man who has, for seven years, been the idol of the American people. Mr. Foulke, in response to a request of The Palladium has contributed - the, following concerning the retiring chief executive: What are the qualities by which President Roosevelt has won the love and confidence of the American people? They are: His unflinching honesty in act and speech and thought, and a frankness that is absolutely daring. He never says one ' thing and means another. He has no subtlety, ( no diplomatic finesse. He ; is not lacking in tact, but it is the tact that relies upon the good sense and love of fair play in those with whom he deals. , 5 His iutter' fearlessness, . not merely of personal danger; but of the consequences to himself from doing what he believes to be right. practicable, and for the pubfic wellfare." .When warned " that the intervention in the coal strike would blast his future, he set his teeth and answered: "Yes, I pipe was. down, chairs and small articles of furniture overturned. That robbery was not the motive is shown by the fact that a gold watch lay in plain view on a table as well as a purse containing about $1.60. They were not disturbed. The statements of physicians who examined the body were to the effect that apparently no attempt had been made to maltreat the woman. The work, it is believed, was committed by a lunatic, and the queer acts of the colored man who is under suspicion tend to strengthen this theory. Ready in a jiffy, easy to prepare, a good, hearty breakfast is Mrs. Austin's Famous pancakes. DRIVING CLUB MEN TO MEET TONIGHT Will Probably Decide Upon a Site. At the meeting of the directors of the Wayne County Driving club this evening, matters pertaftiing to the collection of the amounts subscribed will be taken up and discussed. The members of the association have raised $30,000, or approximately that amount through subscriptions. After the money, is collected, the club will probably purchase ground sufficiently large on which to locate a track and a few buildings. It is probable that the committee having in charge the securing of a site win report this evening. v:--v.v. -- .. . BOARD WILL FIND HOMEjOB CRIPPLE Unfortunate Centerville Lad Is Cared For. Laurance Jackson, a small crippled child, living with his father, John Jackson, of Centerville, was placed under the control of the board of children's guardians today by Judge Fox, on the solicitation of Mrs. Elizabeth Candler," probation , officer.

The boy, who is In the second grade of school; is crippled for life as one of his legs is cut off below the knee. The board of children's guardians will endeavor to find the child a home and if unsuccessful in this, he will be placed in White's institute. The father is employed in a cal factory. The mother is dead. SUIT TO QUIET TITLE. Suit has been entered in the circuit court by George Stombaugh against Wilson T. Marquis and sixteen others to quiet title to real estate.

DES MOINES HAS SHORTA GE OF GIRLS; TO IMPORT 500

Des Moines, Iowa, March 4. Members of the greater Des Moines committee have practically determined to import at least five hundred girls from New York to Des Moines and put them to work in the local factories. This- action was . taken at a recent meeting of the committee when several factory owners declared that they hare not enough girls at hand to properly conduct their institutions. The plan was to have the girls brought out from New York in a body, perhaps on a special train, then turn them over to the Y. W. C. A., where they may be property looked alter and put to work. ? But the Y. W. C. A. raised strenuous objections to the plan. The officers, indignant over the proposal, have filed a red hot protest with Secretary Wilson of the "booster' committee: The women see la this plan not only a de

suppose it ends me, but it is right and I will do it." But although fearless, he is by no means rash. . On all important matters : he consults those

whom he trusts, and no man is more willing to change his views if good reasons are submitted. Counsel is always welcome, control never. His accurate sense of justice. Every man is "to have "a square deal." When he was civil service commissioner he filled the quotas from the South by announcing that democrats should have just as good a chance for appointment as republicans ; he accords just as fair treatment to the Jew, the Catholic and the Agnostic, as to the man who shares bia own religious beliefs. He is president of the whole people, and not of those belonging to a single party, race or creed. His prodigious capacity for hard work. In this he is like . Napoleon. But much of his ability to "get things done"-' depends upon others. His knowledge of men is extensive and accurate; he chooses his agents with skill; trusting to them all details and demanding nothing but results, he wastes no energy In trifles. The moment he arrives at a decision, it is carried into, instant execution. His practical nature. He has high ideals, but he never seeks the unat FAIRBANKS GETS SILVER SERVICE Democrats and Republicans Sound the Praise of Retiring Official WATSON WAS REMEMBERED MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE GIVE THE "WHIP" A LOVING CUP FORAKER ALSO RECEIVES A BEAUTIFUL GIFT. Washington, D. C, March 4. Vice President Pairbanks's final hours as the presiding officer of ' the United States Senate were made memorable by the presentation of a silver service by his colleagues. " , The gift cost $1,185, and in addition the retiring official was also made the recipient of a silver loving cup by the Democratic members, of the Senate. The presentation of the silver service was made by Senator McCumber, who spoke of the Vice President's ability and his devotion to work and the interest of the members of the Senate regardless of party affiliations. Senator Daniel spoke for the minority, dilating upon Mr. Fairbanks's uniform fairness. Reference was also made to Mrs. Fairbanks and her delightful hospitality, and the Vice President especially thanked the Senators for these expressions. Watson Gets a Cup. In the House, Representative James E. Watson (Indiana), the Republican whip, and Representative John Sharp Williams (Mississippi), former Democratic leader, also received testimonials from their friends upon the eve of their retirement. Mr. Williams was presented with a splendid portrait of himself, and Mr. Watson with a loving cup and a silver service. As a testimonial to the service of Senator-elect Burton, ; of Ohio , as Chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors, its members presented him with a gold watch. In appreciation of his efforts in behalf of the discharged Brownsville battalion the negro citizens of Washington will present to Senator Foraker on Friday a massive solid silver loving cup. The cup stands nearly two feet higlr and rests on a massive ebony base. It weighs nearly 100 ounces. In the gold lining of the bowl is inscribed a quotation from a speech made by Senator Foraker in the Senate, January 12, 1909, in behalf of the soldiers, in which he said: "They ask for no favors because they are negroes, but only for justice because they are men."

' Miss Seevjers, general secretary, declared that the girls might become easy prey for procurers and, besides, with the wages the factories,; would" pay, grave doubt existed as to whether the girls could support themselves. "Des 'Moines ' already has trouble with its girls because of the location here of the army post at Fort Des Moines, and it would be positively dangerous to bring 500 innocent girls into the city, said the secretary. The protest has momentarily delayed the work of Importation as planned by the boosters. , However, the committee will advertise tor girls in the big Eastern papers and ascertain about how many they can count on securing for Des Moines factory worfcv

He had to make this great government work and he made it work as nearly right as It will work at all, but he did not give up the job because all his ultimate desires could not be accomplished. His Implicit reliance upon the better instincts of the people. While he often distrusts his own skill in handling local political conditions, no man since Lincoln ever had a stronger belief in the honesty and good sense of the masses. Although he comes from an aristocratic family, he is intensely democratic in his sympathies. I mibt mention other characteristics of the president:. His masterful personality; the strength of his affections and his antipathies; his brilliant powers of conversation ; " his literary attainments;1 his ideal home life; his bubbling merriment and his .spirit of practical optimism, by which he epitomizes the joy of living and realizes to the full the old Roman ideal of the mens sana in corpore sano. AH these things have fitted him better than any ntan living to be president of a young, vigorous, great and flourishing republic. '

TELEPHONE BILL BACK LIKE A CAT After Being Knocked Groggy Once, Reappears and House Passes It. DID A LOT OF BUSINESS THE HOUSE WAS AWFULLY BUSY YESTERDAY, FOR A CHANGE, AND SEVERAL MEASURES WERE DISPOSED OP. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, March 4. After having been knocked down and dragged out once, the telephone bill introduced by Representative Wells of Fort Wayne, came to life again yesterday afternoon and came marching back into the house. Representative Harris moved to reconsider the vote by which it failed to pass. It was the understanding that the bill was to-be amended by striking out that, provis ion under which independent telephone companies might acquire each other by purchase, and to make the bill provide that one company might obtain control of another by lease. But it was found that there could not be any amendment offered on a reconsideration, so it was agreed that the amendment should be made in the senate. This time the bill passed the house by a vote of 55 to 32. Did Much Business. The house did a pile of business yesterday afternoon. These bills were passed: To provide for paying fees of witnesses brought from other states in criminal cases; to sell property of the state no longer needed by the national guards; to reduce the amount of surety bond required of depository when It gets less deposits than it bid for; to enable cities to issue bonds to the extent of 2 per cent of the taxable valuation to build sewers; to enable school cities to issue bonds to pay indebtedness of civil cities for building school houses; limiting tax Hens on real estate to ten years; to require all tally sheets and ballots used at an election to be retained by the county clerk for sixty days; to require, unform footPolitical Announcements FOR MAYOR.

boards on switch engines; three bills relating to transfers of school pupils; to prevent mutual life insurance companies from changing to stock companies. Action of Senate. The senate passed these bills, among others: That in an action for debt it shall be a complete defense that the plaintiff is a trust; extending the scope of securities in which surety companies may invest; fixing salary of advisory board members at $2 a day; providing penalty for engineers who run grade crossings. - Today and tomorrow will be the last days for the passage of bills. Saturday and Monday will be devoted to horseplay. " That is always the case. So whatever does not get through by tomorrow night will never see the light of passage and will be dead.
