tlm of the London murder, with which the two are charged, was not mentioned. The warrant against Crippen

imply refers to the victim who was found mutilated In the cellar of his home at 39 Hilldrop Crescent. London, as "an unknown woman." The arraignment was the climax of the dramatic chase and capture of the couple, in which a wireless net was goven across the Atlantic. The scene in the court room lacked the -melodramatic features which marked In spector Dew's race across the ocean and the springing of the trap when the Montrose, bearing fittppen, reached Father Point, but for sheer drama of emotion.it aurpassei the previous stages of the case. Regains Hie Composure. ' The little American physician- has regained his composure to a large extent between the time cf his landing at 1:35 a. m. and the arraignment, but Ethel LeNeve appeared on the verge of collapse. She was given assistance as she entered the court room, officers supporting her on each side. As the detail of her arraignment under the fugitive offenders act were made known to her through the court's routine, she was near fainting several times. From the time they were bundled ashore and whisked from the water front in cabs to the underground cells that had been arranged for them in the parliament house prison, there was little rest for the prisoners. Crippen spent much of the remnant of the night reading; the girl sobbed herself into a doze, from which at times she awoke with a shriek.

This company will furnish artificial gas to Richmond consumers and will probably increase its plant and output. C. W. Hooven of Anderson, who recently purchased the company from a number of prominent Indiana capitalists organized for the purchase of the plant from its original stockholders acted as purchasing agent, it is reported, for the Susquehanna Railroad, Light and Power Company, with headquarters at. 40 Wall street, New York, which corporation owns the local Light, Heat and Power company. A. S. Cook, manager of the Terre Haute plant of the company, it Is said, represented the company in the deal. 1 8houldered on Hooven. It is declared that the men who first purchased the Natural Gas company, . Including James P. Goodrich, and Calvin Diggs. of Winchester, H;. Starr of Chicago, and C. W. Hooven of Anderson caused the stock to be transferred to Mr. Hooven for transfer to the Susquehanna company, so that the unpopularity of the deal would fall on Hooven, who is not well known . in Richmond. . It is commonly stated that the company selling out to the Susquehanna company was originally organized to purchase the stock and property of the original company as a "go-between" for the Wall street corporation. $210,000 was paid for the stock, there being 12,000 shares. Mr. Hooven, when he purchased the plant, refused to make a statement as to what disposition he would make of the plant.

COIiSPIRACY SEEI1 It! WATSOtl-FISH LANGUAGE RATTLE

All Democrats and One or Two Republican Newspaper Writers Hint Beveridge Is to Be Involved. TAGGART PRESS BUREAU HARPING ON INCIDENT It Is Spreading Controversy All Over the State in Effort to Create Dissension Among Republicans. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Aug. 1. All of the democrats and one or two of the re publican writers who are. doing their best to turn the state of Indiana over to the .democrats at the coming elec tion are malting much out of the controversy between James E. Watson of Indiana and Hamilton Fish of. New York, and they are working industriously to create the Impression that this controversy will drag Senator Beveridge into a deep hole. The - republi can writers who are promoting this scheme profess to Bee where the whole business is going to result in the ali enation of thousands of republican voters from the party this year, and they are doing their best to push it along. Jl week or so ago Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York, made a speech in which he charged that Mr. Watson appeared before the congressional committee which had charge of the preparation of , tariff, law at the last on e congress and: that Tjeirjpresented' certain big interests that wish-' ed to be protected by that law. He made ' numerous statements which Watson has since denounced as false, and he proposes to substantiate hia denial by ; offering proof if necessary. - Watson says he was only interested in the preparation of the tariff law be cause he was representing the national association .of - manufacturers in the effort to bring about the creation of a tariff commission: It is true, by ths way, that the national association of manufacturers did favor the creation of a tariff commission. In his answer to Fish, Watson intimated that Fish's charges against him were probably inspired and that the inspiration may have come from Indiana and he stated that he proposed to protect himself against any more such charges. The democratic campaign press bureau has taken up this dispute and is spreading all over the state in an ef fort to create dissension in the republican ranks. -And in this effort they are being ably assisted by the two or three republican writers who hope to see the state go democratic this tall. They say that this controversy between Fish and Watson is a sure indication that the campaign is to be one of ferocious mud slinging between republicans; that Watson is implacable since this thins; happened; that he will go right ahead and show that Beveridge was the real instigator of the Fish charges; that Watson and his friends win swat Beveridge. and that they will km him off even if in doing so they carry the republican ticket to ' defeat at ; the election next falL These writers also declare .that the fight this year is not one for the election of the republican ticket, but a contest for the control of the republican party organisation In Indiana, with Beveridge forces on one side and the anti-Beverldge forces on the other side. Watson Is Silent. Nothing has been heard from Watson himself, however, in support of the latter proposition, and until he makes a declaration of that kind himself it Is pointed out that it would be well for the republicans to pay no attention to what some one else says about him. On the' other hand Watson has declared his loyalty to his party and his earnest hope for the, success of the ticket this year from one end to the other. He said recently in n speech that his services were at the command of his party. In fact, he has not given out anything that would indicate that he proposed to work against the republican ticket or any. part of It in this statet this year, notwithstanding the effort of a few writers to put him in that light. ' it is regarded here as - unfortunate that the democrats can find such able helpers ' ; among republican writer themselves in the effort which they (Continued on Page Eight) THE WEATHER.

DR. GABEL IMPROVED. Wound Net So Serious as First Believed but Age Is Against Him. (Staff Correspondent) Centerville. Ind., Aug. 1. Following the attack on him by George Dunlap, Dr. Harrison Gabel Is lying at his home on West Main street in a much improved condition. By medical examination it' was found the bullet did not pass deeply Into the bowels and serious results are not feared. Dr. Gabel is over TO years of age and for this, reason the only apprehension regarding his recovery Is felt Centerville is greatly excited over the shooting. Knots of men are standing on all corners of town discussing It and Dunlap Is being condemned. . "Dunlap. is just so mean, he's crazy," is the common expression. Dunlap has been trouble before and on two occasions assaulted Marcellus Beitsell, a prominent citisen of this place. The first assault occurred near the scene of the assault on Gabel. He leaped on Beitzell with a knife but was taken off before the latter was Injured. Two weeks later he caught Beitsel on a bridge south of the city and hit him several times with a cane. A Premeditated Attack. The assault on Gabel occurred about S o'clock this morning before many people were on the streets. Dr. GabeL as is his custom every morning walked to the postofflce. . Dunlap evidently was waiting for him. for when Dr. Gabel left thepostoOee he advanced on him with a thirty-two. caliber revolver. He raised the weapon and as he' did so cried, ' "You've robbed me. Dr. GabeL - The first shot ; passed - Gabel's ear, and he stopped and demanded to know what was meant by the shot Dun-
