tins. Dim insists 3 flEGdOES ATTEMPT TO FflAL'E-UP CASE

Widow of Phydcfen Continues to Deny Knowledge of Alleged Conspiracy to Kill Husband. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Sept. 3."I em absolutely Innocent." said Mrs. Elizabeth Blair Mohr today, after pending" the night with her children at home, following' her release on $10,000 bail. She absolutely denied all knowledge of the alleged conspiracy that resulted In the murder of her husband, Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, and the wounding of hie housekeeper. Miss Emily Burger. It was the first statement made by Mrs. Mohr since her arrest in connection with the murder and her release on bail by Judge George T. Brown, of the superior court. The funeral of Dr. Mohr, held today from his residence, was arranged by Mrs. Mohr and carried out under her directions. It was private. "I knew nothing about the dreadful conspiracy until the detectives told me," Mrs. Mohr declared. "They shot and killed Dr. Mohr and then tried to frame me up. Yes, it was a frame-up. But my lawyers will have to give you all the Information." 8hows Great Nerve. For cool nerve, Mrs. Mohr is remarkable. She was the first to reach her husband's bedside at the Rhode Island hospital. Within a few hours after his death she applied for and received the custody of his property. She has smiled and laughed ever since her arrest. The funeral arrangements tor her huBband, made by her down to the last detail, even Included an invitation to Charles M. Mohr. a son of tbe murdered physician by another wife, though there always has been unfriendliness between the son and his stepmother. Charles Mohr contested Mrs. Mohr's right to the custodianship of Dr. Mohr's estate, and a legal battle was avoided by the accused widow's voluntary surrender. Charles Mohr's two attorneys were placed in charge of the property. WESTERN TOWN: H PS ASK TRUANT OFFICER The trustees of the townships in the western part of the county have made a demand of the county board of education for tbe appointment of a truant officer from that part of the county.

S. K. Morgan, of this city, made an informal application to Superintendent Williams for tbe office. Tbe office pays about $100 a year and the board has always found it difficult to get applications for the position. DISCUSS RETAINING TURN PIKE LEVIES The advisability of retaining the present nine cent levy for the freo turnpike fund will be discussed at the meeting of the county commissioners Saturday morning. The levy for the past year was made necessary on account of the number of township roads that were turned over to tbe county.

The report of the ' bridge experts will be read at the meeting of tbe board tomorrow morning. The report will be completed this evening.

Unsavory Gaillaux Threatens Unity of Republic of France

MJtm -jr if ms. ' w

Mme. Genevieve Caillaux; (above, left to right) Joseph" Caillaux and General Sarrail; (below) Minister of War Millerand and General Joff re. Caillaux, whose wife shot and killed the editor of the Paris Figaro, Gaston Calmette, for revealing her husband's shady career, is now engaged as head of the Radical party in endeavoring to replace the Generalissimo, Joff re, with Sarrail and to weaken the power of the Minister of War, Millerand. After being detected in almost unbelievable scandals, Caillaux, who was Premier in 1911, is still a strong figure. It is believed, however, that the French people have recently turned against him and would support Joffre and the army if it came to a question of Napoleonic "coup d'etat."

Mail dispatches from Paris, which would never have passed the French cable censor, intimate that all is not well with France. There is a serious breach between the army and the most powerful group in the government. Joseph Gaillaux, whose name is connected with a series of scandals and treacheries is plotting the unseating of the commander-in-chief, General Joffre. Caillaux is still the real leader of the Radical party, which has the strongest group in the Chamber of Deputies. This alignment is the result of an election held before the start of the war. Were another election held today, the outcome might be different, but as, it is Minister of War Millerand and Gen. Joffre have the heavy task of fighting the enemy in the field and intrigue at home. The Radicals have already forced the generals in the field to receive civilians delegated by the Government and to make known to them in detail the military situation. How They Crowd Joffre. What will Caillaux and his crowd demand next? Obviously, that these representatives of the Government have the vote power over the orders of the troop leaders. This would re-establish the system which almost wrecked the, armies of the Republic in 1793, when commissioners of the French Legislature were at every general's elbow, criticising, worrying and often rendering ineffectual his measures on the field of battle. Many observers in France believe that at such a juncture " Gen. Joffre will assert himself. To save France he will override the Government. And on this day the people of France will probably be with him, for the present number of adherents of the anti-military Radical party is deceptively mirrored by the Deputies of that stripe. That Joffre fears not Caillaux was shown in the early days of the war when he had the former Prime -Minister arrested for failing in his duty as an army paymaster. Caillaux Still Popular. The recent history of the underhanded Caillaux is on a par with his whole career. It is a great reflection on France that such a man can continue powerful, for the known facts about him would have sent him into obscurity if not imprisonment and even the gallows in another country. Caillaux was one of the leaders in the movement which almost succeeded in. reducing compulsory service in the army from three to two years and which did succeed in crippling the navy and stifling the land forces by cutting their funds down to a minimum. Tbe anti-military movement was only checked about five years ago by tbe threat of Russia to break her alliance with France unless the three year term be enforced. Popular sentiment saw the danger and Raymond Poincaire was put in office as Premier, and, later. President. Under Poincaire, further, if not adequate, defence measures were taken with the result that the history of the campaign of 1914 did not repeat the sickening tale of 1870, . as it surely would have done had not Calliaux and bis colleagues' been temporarily worst ed.

Through an intrigue in ' 1911 Caillaux became Premier. A year later a Senatorial investigation brought out his secret negotiations with German financiers. He was plotting to surrender to the Kaiser the French rights in the Belgian Congo, to give Germany most of the French Congo and the i-cnch islands in the Pacific Ocean and to yield almost all the points claimed by France in the Morocco controversy. Similar secret plots to make great concessions to Spain were revealed. An impeachment was only avoided because it was feared the things it would bring into the light of day would almost ruin French prestige abroad. Following this, Caillaux took his place in the Chamber of Deputies as head of the Radicals and similar groups and though be was not able to prevent M. Poincaire's elevation - to the Presidency he succeeded in mak

ing it very unpleasant for the latter. Then came the general elections of 1914, which were a triumph for Caillaux's party. He became Minister of Finance. A bitter press campaign against him begun. A swindler named Henri Rochette had defrauded poor Frenchmen out of thirty millions dollars. Caillaux's power it was charged was used to save Rochette. The campaign was led by Gaston Calamette, editor of the Figaro. Seeking Calmette in his office, the wife of Caillaux, one of the most beautiful women in France, shot him dead. Caillaux was forced to resign but his wife was acquitted. Gets Military Job. The outbreak of the war served to draw attention from this mess. Caillaux, with a show of patriotism, took a position as a paymaster general. Here he was detected in secret negotiations for a separate peace with Germany and he was so highhanded with his military superiors that General Joffre arrested him. It was a narrow escape from court martial for Caillaux. But his friends, led by Premier Viviani, who is a Radical, got his return to civil life. He left the country under the guise of going on a government mission to Brazil. In the course of this trip an English army officer blacked his eye and later a Portuguese noble boxed his ears in both cases to show their aversion and contempt for him. He arrived back in France in time to save a notorious friend of his from serious punishment. This was the paymaster Deslaux, convicted of stealing army supplies and sending tbem to a woman intimate. . Desclaux was left off with two years imprisonment. To this General Joffre added public military degradation. Desclaux's sword was broken and his military insignia were torn off. Attacks Generalissimo. Then came Caillaux's campaign against the generalissimo, which is still in full swing. He charged that the retreat to the Marne would have been averted if Joffre had bad civilian advisers. He has now forced those councillors - upon the great generals of France. He has broken up the "Sacred Union" of aU parties formed last autumn to save France. The Radicals publicly declare they will no longer be. bound by their agreement and they do not conceal that they have set out to remove not only. Joffre, but the

men he trusts, such as Foch (considered the greatest strategist of any army) and de Maud 'Hui. Instead of Joffre, they would set up Gen. Sarrail. The latter was deprived of the command of the Verdun section because he allowed the German Crown Prince's Army to make important gains in the forest of the Argonne. He has now been sent to command the French forces on the peninsula of Gallipoli. Curiously enough, one of the principal charges brought against Joffre and his friends is that they have brought back religion. The Radical party, led by Emile Combes and by Caillaux, once passed a law that every officer who permitted his wife and family to attend church, of whatsoever creed, should be forced to leave the army. The notorious General Andre as Minister of War, even tried to use political Masonic lodges to investigate the private life of every officer with the object of putting this absurd order in force. Andre was finally got rid of. Now the Radicals who are aggres

sive atheists and would make all other persons forced atheists, have again brought up the religious issue. They even hint that France would have been able to stem the German tide earlier or be able to drive the Germans straightway out of France now were it not that General Joffre has allowed religion to get a grip on the nation's defenders. EVANGELISTS ARRIVE TO CONDUCT REVIVAL Many members of the Central Christian church will be in attendance tonight at the congregational meeting to hear Rev. R. A. Bennett, evangelist of Marion, Indiana, outline and discuss the work which will be done by his party and that which will be expected to be done by the members for the four weeks' revival which will open Sunday night. Rev. and Mrs. Bennett will temporarily be the guests of Dr. Blossom and his family while R. E. Mitchell, of Ironton, Ohio, who will have charge of the music, will stay at the home of Roy Babylon. Miss Echo Roland of Fountain City, pianist, will be the guest of the Charles Roland family on North A street during the time of the revival. ATTEMPTS TO SAVE PRIZE CATTLE HERD WAUKEGAN, 111., Sept. 3. Samuel Insull will not allow his herd of prize cattle, infected with the foot and mouth disease, to be slaughtered. After gaining a respite of twenty-four hours for his herd, the multimillionaire was informed that it would cost him $500 a head to save the afflicted stock. He said he didn't care if it cost $1,000 a head, he intended to save them. A sentry never gives up his. rifle to any one not even to his general, no matter how persistently the latter may demand it.

PAROCHIAL CLASSES OPEN WITH SERVICE

St. Andrew's Parochial school, with prospects Indicating an increased attendance compared to . that of last year, will open for the winter term next Monday morning- Because the opening wiU be on Labor Day, school will be in session for only a brief time.

Pupils will then go to the school, where they wiU be assigned to their rooms and the lists of books given them. j The schools will open for regular hours on Tuesday morning. A normal increase in the enrollment is expected by Father Roell. AUSTRIA WILL SWEEP SOUTH TO BRING AIK TO TURKISH FORCES COPENHAGEN, Sept. 3. A dispatch from Berlin states that the Austrian general staff contemplates a great invasion of Southern Russia from east Galicia. They will attempt to reach Odessa and Sebastopol, whence they can render aid to the Turks. The official statement issued by tbe French war office today follows: "During the night there was the same artillery activity that has marked previous operations, not a single important incident occurred." ENGINEERS PREPARE REPORTS ON BRIDGE The commission of bridge engineers, which is composed of Engineers Hatt and Vawter, of Lafayette, Engineers Mueller, Peacock and Charles of Richmond, will meet this evening and prepare the final draft of the report to be submitted to the county commissioners tomorrow morning. Engineers Hatt and Vawter arrived in the city late this afternoon. For the past few days they have been working out the details of the report, which will be used as the basis for the action of tbe county commissioners in either repairing or rebuilding the Main street bridge. It is understood that the engineers have practically decided that the bridge cannot be repaired at a reasonable expense for interurban traffic. What recommendation the committee will make is not known. AUSTRIA PREPARES FOR ITALIAN MOVE ZURICH, Sept. 3 A dispatch from Innsbruck says that Roverto has been evacuated by its inhabitants, the Italian artillery now being within close range. According to a dispatch from Laiback, 200,000 Austrians have reached the front and have been distributed at tbe points where the Italians are making strong attacks. These new forces are chiefly 18-year-old soldiers. The Austrians have also received eighty new batteries and abundant ammunition. A general Austrian offensive is expected. ENGINEER DRIVES TRAIN 72 MILES IN 68 MINUTES Pat Dailey, veteran engineer of the Vandalia railroad lowered the record for a train between Indianapolis and Terre Haute when the "St. Louis Flyer" ran the distance of seventy-two miles in sixty-eight minutes yesterday, according to railroad employes. This lowers the time set by Harry McGee in an automobile over the National road last Sunday by twelve minutes. McGee has many friends and acquaintances in Richmond. At one point between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Dailey drove his train of eight steel coaches at the rate of ninety-eight miles an hour. LEAGUE BACKS WILSON WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. The white house this afternoon made public a telegram from the American Defense Society of New York, pledging unremitting support to President Wilson's call for a definite defense program. PLEADS GUILTY. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3. Ernest Roader, 38, bartender, who was indicted by the Marion county grand jury on charges of election conspiracy, along with Mayor Bell, Tom Taggart, Police Chief Perrott and one hundred others, appeared before Special Judge Eicbhorn today and changed his plea to guilty. Sentence was withheld. To Acquire Curly Hair Over Night (The Beauty Seeker.) There's good news, indeed, in the announcement that so simple a method as appying plain liquid silmerine to the hair will make it beautifully curly and wavy over night. The hair dries in lovely waves and ringlets that are perfectly natural in appearance, and there is nothing sticky, greasy or unpleasant about it. The liquid, which is of course, quite harmless, also serves as a splendid dressing for the hair, keeping it delightfully glossy and supple. If one will procure a few ounces of liquid silmerine from the druggist, she will have enough to keep the hair in curl for weeks. It should be applied at night with a clean tooth brush. In the morning the hair will be very prettily waved, without having that burnt, lifeless look acquired by using a heated iron. Adv.

FIVE LIEN DIE AT SIN8 SING IN DEATH SEAT

OSSINING, N. Y Sept. 3. Five murderers in the early dawn of today were put to death in the electric chair at Sing Sing prison. The wholesale electrocution was put through in quick time and was without especial incident. - - One of the men, Lewis Roach, of Montgomery, convicted of the murder of John. Barrett, of Palatine, lived In hope in the death house until the last moment A mysterious telephone call to Father Cashin, chaplain ' of the prison, caused an appeal to be made to Governor Whitman at midnight to give the doomed man a reprieve. The effort was unavailing. Besides Roach, the men executed were Antonio Salomme of Monroe county; William Perry of New York; Pasquale Vendette of Kings county, and Thomas Harpey of Kings county. The first to die was Salomme. He was electrocuted a few minutes after 5 o'clock and the fifth man was dead shortly after 6 o'clock. Three contacts of the current were necessary to kill Salomme and the same was true of Vendette. the second man. Roach was third, and he delayed his execution long enough to make a final statement that he was innocent Tarpey was next and Perry was the last to die. LEARNS TRUE NAME ON WEDDING DAY MILWAUKEE, Sept 3. The marriage of Miss Katharyn Swain, of Milwaukee, today revealed the fact that her true name was Kathryn Smith, and that her mother gave her up when a babe in 1896, to a nurse, Lolita Armour, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Ogden Armour, of Chicago. In order to save bis daughter who was only a few days old, and known as the "incubator baby," Mr. Armour sought a competent nurse. He found her in Mrs. Smith, who, with the aid of noted specialists of Europe and America, saed tbe little Armour child. In order to do this, she gave the care of her own baby, also but a few days old, to Mrs. Jane Swain. Regularly Mrs. Swain received payments from the Armours and tbe little girl grew up and took her name. As Lolita Armour grew, the payments stopped and nothing was heard from the real mother. When Mrs. Swain learned that her gift daughter was about to wed, she told her to the story of her life and she was married to Walter Baumgart, under her own mother's name, Kathryn Smith.
