FIND SUSPECTS
Chicago Officials Have Not

Conway and Wife for
Miss Singers Murder.

Cehicago, Oct. 30.--Although police
IN every part OF the city kept sharp
lookout for Charles D. Conway and
his wife, wanted In connection with
the murder Of Miss Sophia G. Singer
of Baltimore, yesterday morning no
trace Of the couple had been found
early today.
Neither did any clew develop from
hundreds of circulars sent to towns
and cities throughout the country
bearing a description Of the pair as
we'll as picture OF the woman.
NJ Police Captain Nootbaar, who ID
conducting the inquiry into thu mur

theory today that Conway.x poverty
and Illness, due to the amputatioh cl
his foot. may have led the former cir.
Gus clown to commit the crime.
Our information Is that the Con.
ways were desperately poor" said the
captain. Conway may have become
crazed with pain and the knowledge
that he could not afford additional
treatment for his injured leg. Persons
who have lived in the house where Miss
Singer was killed have told of violent
outbreaks by Conway and several
times he practically terrorized the
household.
IT robbery was the motive for the
crime, the murderer must have been
disappointed to some extent. Worthen

He was at once delivered into the

prison, where the convicted man will
be confined until his fate is deter

Mrs. Becker and brothers-in-law
pleaded with the sheriff to delay
Becker's removal to Sing Sing. The
sheriff was obburate and announced
that he would take Becker away to-
day.
J. F. Mcintyre, Becker's chief coun-
sci who suffered nervous collapse
after the close Of the trial was un-
able to be in court today. His con-
dition is serious, though not critical.
When Becker was brought into
court he walked slowly to the bar and
catching the eye of acquaintances
among the newspaper men nodded to
them with faint smile.
Charles Becker have you any legal
cause to show why judgment Of death
should not be pronounced against

Becker opened his mouth as If to
speak, but before he could reply John
w. Hart, his attorney Of record, rose
to make the usual motions to set aside
the verdict and to arrest judgment
Justice Con denied the motions and
then pronounced sentence.
Becker heard himself condemned
without any show of emotion other
than the closing of his eyes and the
compression Of his lips.
Mrs. Becker was not In the court
room proper but was waiting in an
ante room to accompany him to Ossin-
ing, where she purposes to take up
her residence during his confinement.

Members of Taft
Club Requested to
Get Busy at Polls

..
The officers of the Wapello
County Taft club which, though
organized but a few weeks ago
now has membership of more
than 1000, have issued the fol-
lowing letter:
To, the members of the Wapello
County Taft club:
We believe each member OF
the club has joined with the
purpose of doing all within his
power to aid In the reelection
of President Taft. All of us are
convinced that the people of
the United States will be better
served by the continuance Of
present conditions, than by the
adoption Of policies advocated
by other candidates than those
of the republican party. The
Wapello County Taft club was
organized for work, and the
members expect to work for
the principles which President
Taft represents.
Therefore, between this time
and election day let all Of us
do what we can to win votes
for the president; and on elec-
tion day itself let all Of us de-
vote as much time as possible
In an effort to get out
the republican vote, and
in an effort to induce those
Of other party affiliations to
vote for their own best inter-
ests by casting their ballots for
the Taft electors.
Yours very sincerely,
M B. Hutchison, president.
Merrill C. Gilmore, secretary.

New York, Oct 3o.-No plans have
been formulated at republican national
headquarters for procedure should nee
sesity arise for withdrawing Vice
President Sherman's name from the
national ticket.
Prominent members of the party
feel that it will be highly inconsider-
ate to remove Mr.. Sherman's name
from the ticket unless he himself
should insist on It.. Should he die be-
fore election day, there would be the
added obstacle Of the impossibilfty OF
reprinting the ballots at such late
hour. It would take at least five days
10 call the national committee to-
gether to name his successor.
Some members would have to come
from the Pacific coast. This alone
would make impossible the naming Of
smother candidate before election
day. Besides, many republicans be-
Iieve. the substitution Of another
name in an eleventh hour change
might have doubtful effect.
Indications are that, irrespective of
the result Of Mr.. Sherman's illness
his name will remain on the ballot.

attacked the ID. p. w. for dirty

the tax rate is too high, and that the
city is spending sl,o00.O0O month.
He urged the voters TO turn out OF

After reading his four pages, the
mayor talked extemporaneously. He
made no reference TO the street car

drink for the crowd.
Victor c. Gnau, Democratic candi-
cate for register OF deeds. was on
nand with candy kisses and a short

his respects to Prosecutor Shepherd.
When Mr.. Shepherd took the oath
OF Office. he made contract with the
people TO do the work OF the Office
fer a certain salary he said. But
for a long time he did not appear in
court on the business OF the Office.

the expense of Shepherd. whose WORK
he was doing, but az the expense of
