body was found badly crushed and severed
into several pieces on the Lake Shore
tracks in Gordon Park early to-day, threw
herself in front of a passing train or lay
down on the tracks to await death. This
was the opinion of the police tonight after
a day spent by the entire detective force
in trying to unravel the uncertainties which
surround the terrible death of the young
woman.
The belief of the police that she was not
murdered and her body placed on the track
is practically substantiated by the coroner
and a second physician who performed the
autopsy over the body, neither of whom in
cline to the theory of murder.
Notwithstanding their belief that the case
is one Of suicide the police are still working
on il, and will continue to do so until fur

FINE TENNIS IS PLAYED
RUICk AND WHEATON WIN CHAM
PIONsHIP IN DOUBLES.
Kingsbury and Davenport Are No
Match for the Old College Players
tournament n Success.

The finals of the tennis tournament which
has been held at Riverside for the past two
weeks were played off on the Riverside
courts yesterday afternoon. The contest
had narrowed down to s. A. Ruick and f.
A.. Wheaton against John Kingsbury and
Frank Davenport, two Butler College play
ers The former were successful, winning
all three sets, Sc, 60 and GO, and the
championship of the city. AS was expected.
the games were exciting throughout, each
team contesting every point. The first set
was the most exciting, as the men played
about even. each winning game in turn
until the score had been run up to deuce
several times Ruick and Wheaton finally
got the advantage, and by a series of SEN
sational plays captured the winning game.
In the second set the boys from Irving
ton did not show up so well. The fast play
ing and their defeat of the first set seemed
to have unnerved them, and they were I'M
able to return the swift serves OF their
more experienced opponents.
A short intermission was given between
the second and third SETS Ruick and
Wheaton had no difficulty In winning the
last contest, as they had solved the style
of play Of the collegiates, and were able 10
return their balls effectively.
The tennis tournament just closed was the
first that has ever been held In lndianap-
oils open to all players, and 1t was sue
cess even beyond expectations. Ruick and
Wheaton are old college players who have
played i'm number of college tournaments,
and they have been playing In old-time
form this summer. The showing made by
Kingsbury and Davenport, who won second
place and who are young players, was a
surprise to many, and 1t is expected they
will be heard from later in the college
tennis contests of the State.
A meeting of those interested in tennis
will be held at the Denison House sooR, and
an effort will be made to form permanent
tennis association of Indianapolis, for which
there is no end of material, as evidenced in
the tournament lust ended.

"ANTIs" MAKE A BAD BREAK.
DIR. Ridpath Names Committeeman
Who Indignantly Refuses

In their efforts to stir up opposition to
Mayor Bookwalter and the Republican
ticket among Republican voters of the city
the leaders of the -Bookwalter organi-
cation have made bad break On Mon
day DR.. III. w. Ridpath, the chairman of
the organization, announced the appointment
of an executive committee, including one or
two representatives from each ward AS
one of the committeeman in the Twelfth
ward DR.. Ridpath named S. r. Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson says that Or. Ridpath has
taken unwarranted liberties in this, and he
made it very plain TO DR.. Ridpath in the
following letter, which he addressed to the
doctor last evening, that he is not an anti
Bookwalter Republican, and will have moth
ing to do with the organization:
ITO DIR. III. w. Ridpath, Chairman Anti
Bookwalter Association:
Il notice by the morning papers that
am slated as one of your committeeman for
the Twelfth ward. This is entirely un9u-
thorized. i am Republican and am sup
porting Mayor Bookwalter and the regularly
selected Republican ticket. which, am con-
fident, will be elected on Oct -. Yours re-
spectfully, S. r. JOHNSON"
1t is said that other men who were named
by DIR. Ridpath as members of his commit
tee did not sanction the use of their names
in that connection, and that they will like
wise decline to have anything to do with
the ants.

HITz GIVEN COLD SHOULDER.
Organization Stands
Committed to John w. Hoffman.


Committed to John w. Hoffman.
A few of the self-consttuted leaders of
the anti-Bookwalter Republicans have at
last succeeded in committing their organ
ization to John w. Hoffman, the Demo-
cratic candidate, and in resolution
adopted Monday night and made public
yesterday they urge the election of Mr..
Hoffman.
The immediate effect of this action will
be the loss to the organization of over half
the men who were led to identify them
selves with it in the belief that the organi-
cation was not formed in the interests of
Holtzman, but would be used to bring about
the defeat of Mayor Bookwalter and the
election of the one of the opposition candi-
dates who proved, upon careful investi-
cation, 10 stand more strongly for the
things which the reformers seek to bring
about. Many of these men believe that
George HitZ, the Prohibition candidate,
should receive the support of the reform
element, and they are so insistent in their
belief that they will not be hoodwinked
into continuing their relations with the
anti-BookwaIter organization which now
becomes aNHoltZman organization.
The Hoffman Republicans, who have now
come into possession of the anti-Book-
walter organization, have been laboring for
the past month to bring about the declara-
ton for the Democratic candidate On
several occasions their plans have been
frustrated by the presence at their meet
ings of a large HitZ element, but at last
on Monday night they succeeded in get
ting together a crowd which could style
itself the anti-Bookwalter Republican or
ganization, while in reality it consisted
solely OF HoltZman Republicans and the
pledge of allegiance to Hoffman is the re-
suit.
The ants also made public yesterday
through their twin organs, the Sentinel and
News, an address to the voters, which con-
sisted principally of attacks on Republican
State Chairman James p Goodrich SEN
ators Fairbanks and Beveridge and Repre-
sentative Jesse Overstreet because these
prominent Republicans are supporting the
Republican city ticket and have indicated
that they will do everything in their power
to bring about the success of the party at
the polls in October
Within few days. ii is understood, the
ants will begin the distribution of cam
paign literature and 1T is also said that the
organization may put speakers into the
field before the campaign grows much older.

Delavan Smith, of Lake Forest ILL.,,
owner of the News, and John w. Holtz-
man. the Democratic candidate for mayor of
indianapolis, held heart-to-heart confer
ence last night at the Claypocl Hotel.
A third party was not present at the con-
ference, consequently the subject under con-
sideration is known only to Messrs. Smith
and Hoffman, but that their meeting was
not a purely social, garden party sort of an
affair was evidenced by the serious, bust
ness-like expressions on their faces as they
talked. Not a single smile fitted across
the countenance of either as they held
close communion, one with the other, and
they parted finally at the elevator with a
warm handclasD and exchange of dark
determined. significant glances.
1t has been generally believed that the
Indianapolis News and Mr.. Hoffman had
formed a hard and fast alliance in the city
campaign and last nights conference be-
tween the proprietor of that paper and the
Democratic candidate may be taken as
tangible evidence of such an alliance
