CAUSE
OF SCOTT MURDER
Helena. Ark. Mystery Solved
SO Police Think
City Editor of World Killed by
Former Policeman Over Wo-
mans Fancy.
THE CASE is CIRCUMsTANTIAL

Helena. Ark, Aug. S.-Ben Car
ruth, a former member of the police
department. was arrested this morn
ing by Sheriff F. f. Kitchen.and
lodged in jail on a charge of assas-
lsinating City Editor J. NJ. Scott, Of
the Helena World, who was shot
down early Sunday morning while re-
turning from work.
For some months prior TO the death
Of Scott the feeling between him and
Carruth is said to have been that
lof intense, bitter hatred on both
sides, growing out of jealousy of a
woman OF easy virtue, who was the
mistress of one of them. They had
trouble over this woman before the
Helena World began It's crusade
against the police department, and In
a saloon came TO blows. The fight
the Helena World made on the depart
ment intensified the feeling between
hem, and when Carruth and the
other members of the department
we're let out they were very sore on
the Helena World and its employees.
Friends of Scott and Carruth looked
for bloocy fight of some character
to occur between them. and on Sat
.urday night they met in a saloon and
had a row that came near ending in
the expected duel.
Immediately after the killing the
sheriff's Office working in conjunc-
ton with Chief Of Police Ed Scott
and his force. began TO trace the
movements of Carruth from the time
of the row in the saloon to the time
the body OF Scott was found weller
Ing In its gore and mortally wound
ed some hours later What they
learned Is a secret, but Il. coupled
with the known hatred each bore the
other led to the apprehension of Car
ruth.
Woman I'm the Case.
An effort was made to locate the
woman in the case. but she had left
the city and no trace of her could be
.foInd. She is an important witness
for the prosecution and lines are out
lin all directions for her capture.
Carruth is a young man, 35 years
of age. single. and has been a mem
Der Of the police department on and
on for several years. and was one of
the right-hand men of the former
Chief Clancy. who was ousted some
weeks ago

Chicago, March so.--The fish-wite methods which have become predom.- nant in the local municipal campaign seem to increase every day.
 The real Issue at stake, involving the method of improving the local trans. portation system has almost been l9st sight of in the flood of invectlve, glt uperation and libel suits threatenss and actually begun. Threats or crlm- inal-prosecution are. being hurled peek and forth between individual politicians and between the newspapers supporting the rival candidates.
 Such choice epithets as liar, per iurer,p "thlef," ''grafter, and human polecat" are of everyday occurrence.
 There has not been the slightest change in the attitude of the opposing parties on the actual issues of the cam paign and they have during the last few days been discussed less and less, while the Republican and Democratic speakers have devoted their time 10 proclaiming their party leaders 10 pc innocent of any wrong-dofng or eviI intent. and have aecused the opposing party of being all brands Of poiiticat bandits, headed by arch pirates or the deepest shade of black. s

The Fish Wife Methods M
 of Chicago Politics Alarming

Meetings are held in the interests of both parties throughout all parts or the city at almost every hour or the day between noon and midnight. me greater part of these gatherings are, of course, at night and all of them are largely attended by enthusiastic par tisans. as3 4a l<
 Actual figures on the possible result are exceedingly difficult to obtain. The city of Chicago ls normally Democratic In a municipal campaign, but this year theRe are strong delegations which have gone from the Republican ranks to Mayor Dunne because of their dis inclination to vote for Busse.
 On the other hand, there iS a large sized element in the Democratic ranks which does not approve of much that Mayor DuItne has accomplished or failed to accomplish and these will also bolt the party ticket. The actual amount of these assertions 1t is impossible to estimate. The party managers, as usual, claim with much emphasis the coming election of their candidates. Mayor Dunne asserts that he win be returned to offlce by a plurality of not less than 3e,00e. The Republicans claim an equal excess in votes for Busse.

 The boy was 6 stranger in Pensa- cola, coming here about a~week ago from a settlement about thirty miles south of Birmingham, and being of- fered position on the schooner de- cided to make one trip with the ves- sel and see how he liked the work.
