POLICE FIND WOMAN 1DENTIFYINGABSHIRE But Cling to the Theory that Abshire Is Not the Murderer of Saunders.

The police department does not believe Henry Abshire, the Virginian under arrest for the murder of Arthur Saunders, Is guilty, although a woman has been found who says she saw a man resembling Abshire run from the alley shortly after the crime was committed. The police cling to the belief that the two negroes, Clara Saunders and Green Park, are withholding the true story of the deadly assault arid are attempting to shield the guilty one. Abshire is still in the city jail. He seems undisturbed about the charge preferred against him and the fact that he will face the grand jury Thursday. He whiles away the time whistling. The two negroes maintain that the murderer several times called out before he cut Saunders, "Did you push my boy?" As Abshire claims he has no children- living here and the police Lave been unable to locate a son of the accused man, strength is lent to Abshire's story that he is Innocent. Abshire give the following story of how he spent Saturday night: "I went to the Grand saloon and played cards, afterwards going to a five cent show. Then I met Mr. Crickmore, and we went to the market together to get some things for dinner Suaday and to meet his wife. We did not And her there, and I bought some vegetables and then went down to my Toom on North Seventh street to get some whiskey I had there. Then we went to Crickmore's home where I intended to spend the night and to eat dinner Sunday. I bought some vegetables for the Sunday dinner. I do not know the streets In the city, and don't know whether I was near the alley where the man was murdered or not."

REPUBLICANS CARRY MAINE BY ABOUT 4,000 MAJORITY

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Senator Clapp, one of Colonel Roosevelt's lieutenants, sees great encouragement in the result of the Maine election. "It Just shows," he said today, "what you can expect under Progressive leadership lost the state of Maine under their own campaigning. They have now got it back under Progressive leadership. The Republicans would have swept the country if it had not been for that burglary at Chicago.

PORTLAND, Me., Sept. 10. Election returns from 491 out of 521 cities, towns and plantations today, give: Haines, Republican, 70,072. Plaisted, Democrat, 66,515. Haines' plurality, 3,557. The small cities and towns missing are very small and are not expected to make any material difference In the final result. These places in 1910, gave Fernald, Republican, 700, Plaisted, Democrat, 641. Adding the above figures to those already received would give the following: Haines, Republican, 70,772; Plaisted, Democrat, 67,156. From the latest returns it would seem that the Republicans have complete control of the legislators and will elect a Republican Benator. The figures give the following results: Senate 23 Republicans, 8 Democrats; house, 77 Republicans, 74 Democrats; Joint ballot 100 Republicans; 82 Democrats. The plurality of Haines for governor, elected by the union of G. O. P. and Bull Moose voters, is likely to prove, in the vicinity of 3,600. Congressman McGlllicuddy is the only Democrat sent to Washington on the face of the returns, and additional figures are not expected to shake the hold of the three Republicans. The contest for the legislature is close, but the gains of the Republicans on the state ticket are expected to assure them of electing as the next United States senator from Maine former Governor Edwin" C. Burleigh. The congressmen elected with their pluralities are: First district, Asher C. Hinds, Republican, 199. Second district, D. C. McGlllicuddy, Democrat, 1,000. Twenty-four towns missing. Third district, Forest Goodwin, Re

publican, 270. Fourteen towns missing. Fourth district, Frank B. Guernsey, Republican, 322. Fifty towns missing. Governor Plaisted, while admitting Democratic defeat, was not downcast. He said today: "In view of all the Republican villification, I believe the showing made by the Democrats of Maine need cause no chagrin, especially as the Republican majority is one of the smallest ever known on a presidential year. Republican majorities in these years used to run as high as 45,000, and the Democrats won in 1910 for the first time in a generation. "Despite rumors to the contrary, the two factions of the Republican party were solidly united on the state ticket, however much they may split later on the national. I regard the going back of the Republicans into the fold, however, as only temporary and am prepared tl enter the next campaign with redoubled zeal." The Democrats lost the governorship, one congressman, one United States senator, the legislature and several officers that are filled by votes of the house and senate.

"KNOCK OFF HEAD" SAYS POLICE CHIEF Gives This as His Solution if the "Badger Game" Is Attempted Here.

TAUER TO GERMANY Popular Local Man Given a "Royal Send Off"

Oscar Tauer, superintendent of the wood department of the Starr Piano company, left last night for New York, from which port he will sail for Germany, visiting relatives and friends in the fatherland for three months. This visit will be the first one made by Mr. Tauer to Germany in forty years and he is anticipating a great time. A few days ago he was presented with a beautiful gold watch by the men in hie department at the piano factory and last night he was given a typical German "Godspeed" at the union station. It was packed with his host of friends and the members of the Richmond Maennerchor sang several German songs to the delight of everybody.

Richmond, the "Quaker City of the West," the "clean and beautiful city." and the "home of churches" is rapidly losing her reputation in the opinion of Chief of Police Gormon, who deplores the number of negroes of the undesirable class who are Invading this city from all the larger cities of this and other states. Lately the "badger" game has been worked here by a number of negro men and women of the lower class, rho by this little game earn a good living. Their operations are confined to the dark alleys near the center of the city, to Elm place. North and South Eighth streets, and other streets where trees and dark spots make it easy for a man to be accosted by a woman. She engages her victim in conversation, then later another man joins the group, demands money from the man who has allowed himself to be lead into the trap. The victim usually pays rather than to face a fight or the possibility of exposure to his family or friends. Negro women have been bold, especially in the north end. Many white men have paid them money according to the police records. Recently a man visited the police station and told Chief of Police Gormon that he had been held up by a negro woman who asked for money. "I was so mad I could have knocked her head off," stated the man, who is prominent here. "Why didn't you?" queried Chief Gormon. That is the chief's solution, and his advice.

An affectionate meeting took place at police headquarters this afternoon when Mrs. Woleber, of Bridge avenue, called at the police station and asked to see Henry Abshire, the man held the city jail, pending an investigation of the murder of Arthur Saunders last Saturday eight. Abshire had not seen his daughter for one year aid was unaware of the fact that she lived in this city. Mrs. Woleber stated she read the account of the murder in last evening's paper and was uncertain as to whether the man held was her father or not. They had seen each other one year ago at Cincinnati. Following the identification of the man, Supt. of Police Gormon released Abshire on his own recognizance.
