Army Blue viii BE Retained.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5.-The army
quartermastArs who have to do with
the dress Of the soldiers have about
decided to retain the blue shirt as a
part OF the uniform OF the army. 1t
will not he replaced entirely by the
olive drab, or khaki garment, Of which
there is some dislike. especially among
the troops In the western part of the
country. It is found, too, that theer
is Partially for the blue shirt among
soldiers In the tropics, 1t is more COM
Portable than the khaki shirt, and
does not show the dust and dirt as
plainly. There Is much discussion
in the military service regarding the
use OF khaki, and 1t Is coming to be
realized that it is not in all respects q
worthy substitute for the blue. al
though 1t has the effect OF contributing
the element Of invisibility which is
lacking in the blue uniform.

 The candidate see no necessity for i they are able to draw crowds and maintain interest among the voters ] At all political meetings held during the past thirty days large crowds have been in attendance and considerable l interest and enthusiasm shown. The seXtetfe of aspirants interpret this tO mean that the people are not tired of political talk. but desire 10 hear a full discussion of the issues on which the campaign is being waged.
 During the past few days activity among the followers of the candidates has been shown by t1e ol sanizalion of clubs. and before the end of the year nearly every candidate will have these boosting organizations. The campaign button has also made it's appearance, but the Hon. Charles Scott is the only aspirant whose face has appeared in button form. Doubtless others will follow suit, and buttons by the bushel will be in distribution.
 The candidates are due in Jackson on Thursday, November $, and as this will be their first formal gathering at the state capital, the event promises to attract much attention, not only To- cally. but throughout the state The Hon. Earle Brewer speaks here Tues day night.

HURLBERT. MITCHELL AND HARLE
UNDER SENTENCE FOR COLD
FLOODED MURDERS.
WERE GANG OF LIFE INSURANCE sWINDLERS
Killing of Their Victims a Part of the Scheme
by Which They Had Made Large Sums
Had Another Victim Marked
for Death.

Chihuahua, Mexico.-Through skein
of plot and counter plot, that, if
evolved by a writer of fiction, would
have been considered extravagant, the
story runs of the crime of the three
men, Hu-lbert, Mitchell and Harle,
now under sentence of death here.
The crime for which these three
men are to die is murder, an incident
of their series of carefully planned life
insurance swindles.
The particular company victimized
is one of the greatest in the world, and
only carelessness on the part of the
plotters, resulting from over-confi-
dence, saved it from a heavy loss.
Practically in it's entirety the affair
is as follows:
Commenced in 1902.
1t was in the spring of 1902 that a
life insurance company was called
upon to pay two death claims in Chi
huahua, the first on the life of Harry
M. Mitchell for $4,000 under a policy
assigned to his sister, Helen Richard
son, and the second on the life of
James Devers for $4,000 under a pol
icy of which one Willis Meredith was
the beneficiary. Mitchell had died
on February IL of that year, and
Levers Oh MdTcH 20, anu the agent III
both cases had been c. T. Richardson,
who had formerly been in the employ
of the company at chihuahua, but was
now living in Dallas, Tex.
Now, life insurance agents in Chi
huahua, Mexico, even those who sub
sequently move to a town like Dallas,
do not, as a rule, support private
teams, nor drive out in style with
negro coachman and footman or two.
All these things were included in
Richardson's establishment in Dallas,
to the great amazement of a repre-
sentative of the life insurance COM
pany, who went down from the Ell
Paso Office, where the check for the
Devers policy had been forwarded, to
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1906-05-26

the Fort Worth Office at the request of
Meredith, and when it came back after
collection through a Fort Worth bank
it bore Meredith's Endorsement for de-
posit. Inquiry at the bank in ques-
ton developed that soon after the
claim had been filed on Devers' death
Meredith had called at the bank in
company with Richardson, and had
obtained there a loan of $4,000 upon
Richardson's assurance that the COM
pany had admitted the claim under
the policy and was about to pay the
money. This loan was paid in part in
cash and in part by a draft on the
Seaboard National bank, of New York,
and it was this draf. for $1,000, to-
gether with it's Endorsement to Rich
ardson, that forms the first link in the
chain of evidence that was to connect
him with the crime.
So the search led back to Chihuahua,
and when more light was sought on
the manner of the deaths of Harry
Mitchell and Devers it was found that
in the first case death had occurred
in the house in which Richardson and
his wife lived and within half an hour
after Mitchell had talked with a
friend in the street, apparently in
perfect health. This was hardly con-
sistent with the theory of spinal men
nights advanced by DR.. Harle, the
physician signing the death certificate,
who happened to be also the physician
who had examined each applicant for
insurance upon his admission to the
company. In the case of Devers it
appeared that death was due to dysen-
terry, as might easily have occurred
with a man of Devers' dissolute man
ner of living. OF Richardson nothing
could be learned, except that he had
appeared in Chihuahua in the sum-
mer of 1901, with his wife, Helen
Richardson, as an American looking
for business opportunities in Mexico,
and had secured an appointment as
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1906-05-26

brother of Devers, William Meredith.
Harle was not cross-examined. and he
left the stand thinking he had got
away with the goods"
Confession from Harle.
At this point Bottome from Ell Paso
telegraphed Harle that he was COM
ing to Chihuahua and wanted to see
him. Harle thereupon started for Ell
Paso, and BOttome, when he was we'll
on his way to the Mexican town, got
a wire on his train that he would
pass the train on which Harle was
travelling in mid-route. Bottome left
his train at convenient station and
boarded the other. Then, as he did
not know Harle, he sent porter
through the car with a Western Union
telegraph envelope addressed to the
doctor, and Harle tumbled into the
trap. Bottome and detective led
Harle into the smoking compartment
and started a Quizz of the third de-
gree" order that wound up that night
with a 50-page confession duplicating
Harle in the death of Devers, and
telling enough of the circumstances of
Harry Mitchell's death to indicate
how his suicide had been arranged.
Harle said that Devers had been
brought from Chihuahua from Ell Paso
by Richardson in December of 1901,
and that Richardson had said that he
had explained to Devers that Devers
