Interesting Yarn Told by the
Cincinnati Enquirer Re-
garding the Indiana Polit-
ical Case.
WATSON AMBITIOUS
FOR POWER AGAIN
R. @. Leeds Issues State
ment Denying a Reported
Deal Between Himself and
James E. Watson.

Mr.. Leeds, who returned this
morning from Chicago, denied hav-
ing made the statement attributed
to him in the Enquirer that some of
the Indiana Taft delegates are 60
ing to vote for Roosevelt. He also
declared as absurd the Enquirer's
story that he or his associates were
offering Mr.. Watson any induce
ments to abandon President Taft's
cause.
story about Mr.. Watson is due to
the suspicious of associates who
are waging losing fight in an un-
just cause. The men who will stand
for the tactics that have character
lied the seating of contested dele
gates at Chicago, will not hesitate
to suspect even their closest
friends.
while in Chicago, heard that
Mr.. Watson, who was to have been
counsel for President Taft in the
Tennessee or Texas contests, had
been called home to Rushville on
account of the serious illness of his
little boy. Because he hurried to the
bedside of his sick child and did
not appear in the contests, some of
his associates choose TO regard his
action as detection from the cause
of President Taft"

BIC POISON PLOT
| AVER THE POLICE
Arrest of Mrs. Louise Lind
loft Expected to Result
in Big Sensation.
(National News Association)

CHICAGO, June 15-Police officials
declared today that poison plot riv-
alling in sensational features the
case of Mrs. Louise Vermilya will be
unearthed as a result of the arrest of
Mrs. Louisa G. Lindloff, former spir-
itualist and medium.
Mrs. Lindloff is suspected of having
poisoned her two husbands and three
grown children, all of whom carried
insurance amounting in the aggregate
to $10.275. Of this sne collected
$6,9o0
Taken into custody on mere suspi-
cion, the case against the woman grew
stronger with each new feature un-
earthed today by the coroner and the
police. One of the most important
witnesses against the woman proba-
bly, will be DR.. A. S. Warner who at
tended three of the supposed victims
of the woman, and who declared that
all showed unmistakable symptoms of
poisoning at their deaths. A search
of the house disclosed a number of
bottles of pills and medicine labeled
poison. These were given to chemists
for analysis.
The Alleged Victims.
The members of the family who have
died in the past seven years were:
Julius Gaunke, the prisoners first
husband, who died Aug. ~, 1905.
Freda Gaunke. daughter by her first
husband, died June II, 1908.
William Lindloff to whom the form
er Mrs. Gaunke was married Nov. Z,
1906, and who died August 8, 1910.

band, born Dec. IS, 1894; died Aug. 4,

Henry Kuba, a boarder at Mrs. Lind
lofts home, and who is said to have
been infatuated with her, is also be-
ing held by the police in the belief
that he possesses knowledge of the
circumstances surrounding the deaths
that have occurred in the Lindloff
household in the last three years
While it is not believed that he was
involved in the poisoning, still it is
thought he may be able to aid the po-
lice in their investigation.

Convention gossip is rife with ru-
mors and counter rumors. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer this morning publishes
a Chicago dispatch of interest in the
Sixth District: ..
Whether all of Indiana's 20 Taft
votes will be cast for the President
was matter of controversy tonight,
although it was stated by James A.
Hemenway, Joseph B. Healing and
others that there won't be a break in
the Taft lines from their state.
Undoubtedly extreme pressure is
being brought to bear on the unin-
structed Taft delegates from Indiana
to divide their districts in the interest
of harmony. The Second, Fourth and
Thirteenth Indiana are uninstructed,
but the delegates are stanch Taft
men. The Taft delegates are being told
that unless those districts are split
that the Republican candidates for
congress will be defeated. All of the
districts named are represented in
congress by Democrats.
Clifford Pinchot spent Sunday after
noon at the home of one of the Taft
delegates at large from Indiana, try
ing to convince him that he ought to
vote for Roosevelt so that the Repub-
diana carried by it.
PInchot Told Of Feeling.
Pinchot was told that neither Taft
nor Roosevelt can carry Indiana, and
that the Taft delegates, who had been
played up as men who ought to be in
the penitentiary, are not going to vote
for Roosevelt under those circumsta
ces. An effort was made to arrange
for George w. Perkins to talk with
one of the Indiana Big Four, but it
failed.
No Taft delegate to the convention
has been under such fire from the
Roosevelt men as James E. Watson, a
delegate at large from Indiana Watson
was defeatyd for Governor four years
ago. He is ambitious for office. He
would like to run for congress in his
district, and to get into the game for
the United States Senate two years
hence.
But in his district he has been block
ed by the radical progressives under
the leadership of William Dudley
Foulke and Rudolph Leeds. publishers
Of newspapers at Richmond.
Watson might carry the district il
he could unite his forces with those
OF Foulke and Leeds, who are demand
ing Roosevelt's nomination. Leeds ar
rived here last night and he says that
some of the Indiana Taft delegates
are going to vote for Roosevelt.
Deal Being Considered.
One of the men associated with
Leeds stated today that deal is being
considered by which all opposition of
the radical progressives in the Watson
district would be withdrawn from him

When the Taft contests for the dele
gates-at-large from Texas were called
at the opening of the morning session
of the committee, Col. Lyon tried TO
stop the hearing OF the case on the
grounds that the Taft delegation had
not complied with the rules of the
committee in filing their contests.
Il must insist. Mr.. Chairman. that
there is no contest in the state OF Tex

Chairman Rosewater was the first
to recover from the shock and replied:
The secretary advises me that there
are two sets of credentials filed from

Under the rules OF this committee
there is no contest because they filed
no brief against my delegation" an
