WRATH OF EVANSVILLE
FOLK IS STIRRED
Over the Assault of a Young
Lady
WHO WAS CAST INTO A SAFE
While She Was Unconscious-Po-
lice Believed that Murder Was Plan
ned and Robbery Committed Only
as a BIind-Suspects Held.

Evansville, Ind, March 19.-Miss
Josie Gray, who was assaulted in a
furniture store here is still uncon-
scious, and physicians are constantly
at her bedside. DR.. c. B. Harpole
says it is probable that the young
woman may regain her senses.
Though two suspects, Norwegian
and Swede, are held by the police,
the latter's theory is that the motive
Of the crime was not burglary but
murder, and that the deed was COM
mitted by some one who knew the
building we'll. Detective John Hough-
land thinks after the girl was assault
ed the safe was robbed in order to
throw the officers off the trail.
It is believed the assailant struck
her blow on the head with his fist
and then choked her until he thought
she was dead, and threw her into the
safe to make sure of his job, think
ing if she showed any signs Of life
she would soon smother in the big
safe, vault built in the wall. The
case is full of mystery.
A woman dressed in mans clothing
and giving her name as Blanche
Jones, and her home as England, was
arrested here. While the police do
not connect her with the assault on
Miss Gray, they are holding her pend
ing an investigation.
i0 :
the r and G.. furniture store on Main
street, one of the largest stores in
the city. She was behind with her
work and remained at the store until
late hour, working upon her books.
Some time about midnight, it is
believed, burglars entered the store,
and seeing her at the desk assaulted
her and beat her into insensibility
with some blunt instrument. They
then opened the safe and after secur-
ing over $500 in money picked up the
unconscious from of the woman and
locked it in the safe.
: The father Of the girl, a retired
Methodist Episcopal minister, residing
on Upper Eighth street, near midnight
became uneasy because the girl had
not returned home and went to the
police station to ask that an investi-
cation be made.
Captain Christian Heur and Detec-
tive John Heeger went at once to the
furniture store and found small coins
scattered about over the floor in the
rear Of the building and heard groans
coming from the direction of the big
safe.
Upon opening the safe the officers
found Miss Gray unconscious and
bleeding from several wounds on the
head. One side of her head was
badly crushed and large cash was
cut under her jaw and her teeth had
been knocked out. Physicians were
hurriedly summoned and she was re-
moved to st. Mary's hospital, whe1e
it was stated her condition is serious
1t is feared her skull is crushed.
and in this case there is little chaKce
for her recovery.
Just what time the assault was
made on Miss Gray is not known, al
though thS officers think it happened
near midnight.
Miss Gray is one of the best known
young women in the city, and has
been prominent in church work for
many years, being member of the
Trinity Methodist Episcopal church.

HARTMAN HAS ONE TRUMP

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
Hartman seems to be safe from
any immediate prosecution for his
pillage of the Alton railroad. At
torney General Stead, of Illinois,
has been investigating the case
since comforting with Roosevelt
and reports that state action to re-
woke the roads charter would only
infict loss on stockholders and not
on the Hartman crowd, which has
unloaded. He advises that the
stockholders bring civil action and
renders an opinion that they can
recover for the ruination of the
property by Harriman's manipula-
ton. Stead shows that $57 ,000, 900
Indebtedness saddled on the road
when Hartman "reorganized" it is
invalid under state laws. The Alton
was reduced from a profit paying
property to hopeless bankruptcy, by
which operation the Hartman
crowd made more than $24 900, 900.
The road is left wrecked and the
bonds are in the hands of innocent
purchasers.
When Hartman paid his visit to
Washington a few weeks ago he
came bearing a white flag, and Of
fCred to make terms with RoOse-
welt. The president refused to ne
gotiate, and told him fatty that If

TEACH USE Of FIRE
EXITS IN Theatre

The fire commissioners this morn
ing discussed the problem of empty
ing theaters by way of the fire eX-
its instead of by the front doors.
The Spokane and Auditorium
theaters now use the fire exits, and
the commission will give the
scheme a trial within a few days at
the Columbia and Washington
theaters. The Washington is the
most crowded theater in the city.
There are fire exits, but the
crowds are always handled by the
front entrance and kept out of the
side isles by firemen, who are sta
toned on duty there. OF late the
crowds have surged into side isles
before the firemen could control
them, and for that reason much
comment has been heard on pos
sible fire danger. 1t will take sever
al weeks to educate local theater
goers to the fire exit mode of leav
ing the playhouses.

with gold and harnessed with gold,
adorned with precious stones and
fine pearls.
The sisters of these young spend
thrifts indulge in amusements that
would shock a well brought up
French woman inexpressibly. The
American girls carry Irritation to
the utmost possible extreme. Amer
lean girls are allowed to amuse
themselves practically without re-
straint from their mothers or eld-
ers. At balls and dinners they are
left alone with men for 4, 6 or s
hours. They habitually drink to
excess, taking cocktails, cham
payne and whisky and soda.
The American girl of fashionable
society absorbs every day as much
strong drink as would render an
ordinary Frenchman hopelessly and
,helplessly intoxicated. In spite of
Iher strong head, the American girl
occasionally becomes inebriated,
and then her actions would shame
a red Indian.
At dinner party in a million
aires house in New York, after din
ner the old people sat down to gam
bic while the young men and wom-
en- went down to the servants quar-.
ters. There the girls sat in the
mems laps and drank and smoked,
while they all made jests that could
not be whispered in French So
ciety.
The public actions of American
women of high social position are
shameless and brazen to a degree
that is hardly conceivable in
France. The beautiful Miss -,
Familiarity known as Lulu" was
strolling with friends through the
city after dinner, when they passed
a fountain with a basin of water
round it, Miss Lulu offered to bet
a dozen bottles of champagne that
she could wade through the basin
without wetting her skirt or petit
coats. One of the men, knowing
the basin to be at least feet deep,
eagerly accepted the bet-and lost.

there was a law that would send
him to Jail he would go.
Then followed the conference at
the White House at which Governor
Deneen and States Attorney Stead
of Illinois, participated. The pur.
pose of that conference was a de
sire on the part of the president to
know if there was law in Illinois
to punish the man who looted the
Alton road.
Hartman has secured immunity
from prosecution under any federal
law by his testimony before the in
terstate commerce commission. If
it were not for this he might have
been prosecuted under the criminal
clause of the antitrust law. Mr..
Hartman first testified in regard
to the Alton deal Z years ago in
Chicagon Unless a state law or
some new turn of the federal law
can be found, Hartman will not
go to Jail.
Evidently he has received assur-
ances on this point from his attor-
neys. Feeling free, therefore, from
the danger of unpleasant conse-
quences and angered by the treat
ment received when he came suing
