.wHITMoRE DIRECTLY CHARGED
BY NEW JERSEY POLICE
WITH MURDER or HIS
WIFE.

HARRISON, N. j.. Jan. S.-The DO
lice yesterday for the first time d.
rectly charged Theodore s. Whitmore
with >the murder OF his wife Christ
mas night. Chief Rogers insists that
he has evidence enough to convict
and win endeavor to secure the in
dictment OF the accused on first de
gree charge.
He declines, however. to clear up
the mystery surrounding the placing
Of the body in the Lampblack swamp,
intimating that, while he knows all
about it, that very fact will be part OF
the strongest evidence against Whit
more. The chief also stated that he
has solved the question of accomplices
and knows Just who aided Whitmore'
in his crime.
Five arrests have been made in the
tragedy. They are: Wh!tmore, Har-
ry Hendrickson. friend of the murder
ed woman; John Foster who spied on
Mrs. Whitmore at the request of her
husband; Albert Thompson and Fred
erick Ilirkman.
Rumor here says that one of the
five men has confessed and that the
police are Withholding the facts in
order that they may make two more
arrests. Who the much desired per-
sons are is a closely guarded secret.
1t is known that the authorities
would like to talk with George Dick
inson. woman friend of Whitmorc,
as they think she might be able to
throw light on his movements from
Christmas Day until the Sunday fol
lowing.
rene Cook, sister of George Dick
inson, told the police that she knew
Whitmore well. "Whitmore was con-
stantly making threats against his
wife" she said. "He said in my pres
ence one day while talking to George
about the money his wife had I'll get
her money If have to shed blood fo:
it.. Aand then he promised George
many nice things when he got it,"
NEW YORK, Jan. S.-George Dick
inson, husband of Mrs. George Dick
inson. reported to be the George"
Who neighhors say wath with Theo-
dore s. Whttmore some time after his
wife disappeared, was found by the
police at bis home and taken to head
quarters.
Dickinson was questioned at length
but declared he knew nothing about
his wife's recent actions. He said sac
had departed several days ago, declar-
ing she was going to Boston. He pro-
ressed ignorance of her whereabouts
since then.
1t has been reported to the police
that Mrs. Dickinson had declared Ill a
cafe that Whitmore had threatened to
kill his wife. For this reason the 20
lice are yer. anxious to interview her.
Dickinson was detained at headquar-
ters until the police can learn whether
the Harrison, N. j., authorities wish
to interrogate him.

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1908-06-25
FOR TARIFF REVISION.
Action by Special Session Of Congress
After INAUGURATION.

The Republican party declares I'M
equivocally for revision of the tariff
by special session OF congress imme-
diately following the inauguration of the
next president, and commends the steps
already taken to this end in the work
assigned to the appropriate committees
81 congress which are now investigating
the operation and effect of existing
schedules. In all tariff legislation the
true principle OF protection Is best main
tanned by the imposition of such duties
as Will equal the difference between the
cost or production at home and abroad
together with reasonable profit to
American industries. We favor the estab-
