MRS. BLOCH INSANE
 WILL SOON BE SENT
 TO MIDDLET0WN ASYLUM

Drs F. B. Downs, D. M. Trecartin and c. L. Banks, appointed by Judge Gager of the Superior Court bench here today to examine into the sanity killed another inmate of a Westport sanitarium last week, reported after an examination of the woman that she was suffering from insanity arising from a condition which an operation performed several months ago failed to remedy.
 Mrs. Bloch was bound over to the Superior court after a formal hear ing in Westport, charged with mur- der in the first degree. Today she was formally arrested on the charge of mansIaughter, and now it remains for her to be acquitted on the ground of insanity and committed to one of the state hospitals for Insane. At Middletown there is a portion of the state hospital devoted to the criminal insane and it is likely that her com mitment will be to that institution.

 New York, Sept. 16.-That there is more than a. possibility that there will be an alliance between Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt and William Randolph Hearst in connection with the Roose- interests in politics. was indicated to- day. John Temple Graves, chief po- 1itical lieutenant of Hearst, called to see Roosevelt at the Outlook office ter's request but beyond admitting that fact Colonel Roosevelt refused to discuss the visit He refused to ex- the Hearst offer of support in his Independent party.
 Graves and the Colonel were closet ed in the latter's private office for some time. When the candidate of the Independence party for V1ce-Pres- fdent in the National campaign came out, he was smiling broadly. He was far from being 1oquacious, however.
 All care to say that all of the politics we discussed is what one would expect would be talked when one meets Colonel Roosevelt. There was no particular political subject under discussion, neither was there any conspiracy
 ferred with Attorney General Edward F. O'Malrey of New York; Senator Cobb: Former Congressman Lucius Iitthauer; State Committeeman Chas. g. Betts; Harper Parsons; Otto T. Barnard; Smith Cocks and all of the prO-Roosevelt leaders from Brooklyn To all of them Roosevelt made it plain that he expects to control the state convention and force it to adopt a progressive platform.
 While Roosevelt was concurring with his lieutenants William Barnes, Jr., who is leading the "O1d Guard'' fight issued the following statement: s.No amount of political maneuver- ing nor the use of patronage or per- BenaI abuse can in the slightest degree obscure the one issue which must be There will be determined at that con vention the future of the Republican party in New York for some years Tn it's platform whether it will be re- cognfzed as the conserving force which has been its history or whether it. will follow the radical policies of MT.

 Owing to the peculiar nature of the soil where the body. was found" he testified, s'it may have lain in there for several years and the organs still have been we'll preserved. '
 This supports the theory that he de- fense may adopt; that the body was placed under the cellar floor before Crippen moved into the Hilldrop Cres- year ago.
 The only way to disguise the taste of hyosein. WiIcexs said, was by sweet ening It. Without sweetening 1t would make coffee. wine or beer so bitter as to be easily detected.
 The piece of a paJama jacket found in the grave was one of the same ma terial, Wilcox testified. as pajamas from Mrs. Crippen's wardrobe. The difference in color in the two was at .tributed to the action Of the soil on the fragment in the grave.
 once more Solicitor Newton for the defense brought out the fact that the material from which the pajamas were made was of common quality such .as is frequently used ip such garz ments.
 Regardless of the weakness of the prosecution's case. it is conceded that Crippen would be bound over to the Grand Jury andthat in all probabil- ity he will be indicted. Preliminary hearings are more of a fornal1ty in England than in America. and almost invariably result in the judge passing the case to a higher court.
 Several American lawyers in Eng land, who have followed the case, de, clare the evidence so far brought out would not suffice to bind Crippen to the Grand Jury were the hearing in America.
 Inspector Dew, on cross examination. admitted up to the finding of the body he had no suspicion that a crime had been comnnitte.
 When I first talked with Grippen had no intention of arresting him, ,' Dew said. s'I did not believe that he was telling the whole truth regard ing the disappearance of his wife. but it never occurred to me that his wife had, been murdered.''
 After Dew had testified the case was adjourned until next Wednesday.

COURANT CHARGES HILL
 WITH POCKETINC VOTE
 IN BALLOT BOX SHUTTING.
In Remarkable Story Tells that Teller Moves Brought Exra
 Ballot to Congressman. But Latter Put Vote in Pocket and Noyes Made Charge of
 "Stuffing" to General keeney

In a remarkable story, printed to- day, the Hartford Courant accuses Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill, who was permanent chairman of the Re publican state convention, of pocket ing an extra ballot found by Charles D. Moves of Norwich. one of the Lake tellers, thus refusing to make public that the ballot box had been stuffed. Moves, the Courant goes on to say, subsequently discovered another bal lot, which he declined to take to Chairman Hill. Instead he took up the matter with General .Keeney, an other teller and the disclosures of stuffing kept the convention in an uproar for eight hours.
 The Courant declares that it's story is far from creditable ito a Republi can conventton, but continues ttThe Courant, as a Republican newspaper, will expose such things in a Republf- can convention.''
 The Courant's story of what happen ed is as follows:

SNYDER INVENTS MOTOR TO USE TIDAL CURRENTS
 AND HARNESS NIAGARA
tOung Mechanical Engineer is Associated in Enterprise With
 RO0SeVetS Friend, Buffalo Jones latter is Using Similar Principle in Construction of AerOpane Expected to ReYOuiOnize Art of Flying

'I believe,'' said MT. Snyder, to- day. that the problem of producing power has been solved.
 T believe that my invention will enable the farmers to use the little streams that flow through their lands, at an expense for plant and operating expenses of almost nothing.
 q believe that my invention will utilize at trivial expense the mighty currents of rivers, and the great sea currents that flow along the ocean
 My plan is to install my wheel in deep water, where the currents flow fast and where the pressure will be enormous, install electric motors over the wheels and carry the currents in land as far they are required.
 .In carrying current over great dis tances wheels installed in rivers along the lines can be used to provide pow CT to step up the tension of the cur rent in the> wires, and the distance : through which power may be cleo trically transmitted will be enromouS.
 MT Jones',, continued MT. Snyder, believes with me, that the day of cheap power is at hand. Unless I am altogether unsound in my views enor, nousIy more power can be developed above Niagara Falls than below it. There is no need whatever of using the power of the falls, or of diverting water from the falls.
 stYou believe, then, that your inven- ton will consign to the-scrap heap all the costly power plants that have been constructed at NldSdrd!
 tsYes," replied MT. Snyder. "And also I believe it. wills automatically conserve the coal supply, by enabling water power to be transmitted from tidal currents and undertow great dis tances to replace steam at cost per horse power less than the cost of coal necessary to produce such power, fig ured at the mouth of the mine.'' F MT. Roosevelt knows of my inven- tion,'' said MT. Snyder. 'sHe has heard of it from MT. Jones' I expect Roose- welt will come to Bridgeport to- see about the necessity of conseFving wa ter power for five days. I believe he is waiting to see if the problem has been settled.
 s.Mr Snyder casually referred to a series of articles which ssBuffaIo' Jones is to write for tEverybody's'' the first of which appears in the is sue of this month. The articles treat of big game hunting in Africa.
 Another merit which MT Snyder claims for his device is that it may be used as a windmill, which will au- adjustment of it's blades, and without the familiar tail device. presen ting a broad surface to the wind so that the wheel is moved by wind pressure in to a suitable possession to be impell- ed. by the air
 The wheel was installed for a short time yesterday in Ash creek, but it had been set up in such a fashion that the bearings were out of true, the shaft began to cut and MT. Snyder took the wheel out of water in order to true up the bearings.
 The model wheel is three feet by three feet. He expects it to develope two horse power in four feet of water and enormously more in 50 feet of water.

WOMAN AVIATOR DASHED TO GROUND
 AT GARDEN CITY.
Especial from United Press)

New York, Sept. 16-The first aero plane flight ever made by a woman alone in this country ended disastrous ly today at the Garden City, L. l., aero field, when a biplane, used by Mrs. Frank Raishe in a ten minute flight, was wrecked by a 30 mile wind, the daring aviatress was herself unin- jured and her only comment as she emerged from the wreckage, was:-.
 fI guess I'll catch it for smashing the machine"
 Mrs. Raishe is the wife of one of the constructors for the French Amer ican Aeroplane Company, and ascended today on the impulse of the moment.
 She had a desperate struggle with the wind from the moment she ascend ed and despite the sad ending of her cruise, she showed herself one of the most skillfuI operators ever seen in this Country. Several times the ma chine was t.beam uD" and the crowd constantly called to the daring woman to bring the machine to earth. Mrs. Raishe disregarded their warnings and continued her maneuverings until gust of wind caught the machine and dashed it to the ground. The forward planes crunpled under the wreck. Mrs. Raishe calmly arose and shut off the motor which was still threshing and tearing at the wreckage.

He was not a delegate, an# even if the managers of the convention se- 1ected him in good faith, he, as veteran politician knew that he had no right in the position. He was in no way connected with the convention.
 .He sat at the table with the other tellers but did no counting. One of the others, who is quick at figures. went over the footings and exclaimed Goodwin has it by ten n1ajority.'' At that Moves jumped up, and. pro- fessing that he had found another ballot, ran to Chairman. Hill with it, and declared that. there were too many ballots, as he had found this one on the floor. MT, Hill told Moves that he would not entertain any such ob- jection and that he should announce Mr. Goodwin as nominated by ten ma jority. Moreover MT. Hill took the ballot brought by Moves and put it in his pocket. That disposed of the found'' ballot. But soon afterward Moves 'found'' another and took this one to General Keeney, one of the tellers.''
