ARE HEAVILY ARMED.

MT. AIRY, N. c., April 2.-Penetrat-
ing a wild country which is grown to
jungle density, fresh posse accom-
panied by five trained man-hunting
bloodhounds, at dawn today began
searching the district between Wards
Gap and Willis Gap for Sidna Allen
and Wesley Edwards, the two remain
ing outlaws of the Allen gang.
The authorities. from information re-
ceived from mountaineers, judged that
the two outlaws would make their last
stand in that rugged mountain dis
trict
The men are heavily armed and are
making cautious circuit of the point
where Allen and Edwards were be-
lieved to be hiding, about midway be-
tween their two bases of food supply
Although there have been heavy rains
in the mountains within the past AS
hours, the constant movements of the
two hunted mountaineers would leave
trail despite the muddy condition Of
the ground, it was said.

ANXIETY is INTENSE,

NEW ORLEANS, April 2.--Increas-
ing terror to the inhabitants and in
creasing danger in flood conditions
were reported today from all towns
on the Mississippi river from here to
st. Louis. All possible precautions are
being taken to prevent further breaks
in levees, but with the river constant
ly rising anxiety is intense.
The governor of Mississippi has
been asked by the levee board to place
1900 convicts under such guard as
will permit their use in repairing le-
wees in case of an emergency call. De-
spite the sandbagging Of the river
walls and other frantic precautions,
there is immediate danger of new
breaks threatening hundreds of lives.
Officials at New Orleans recorded a
rise of inches yesterday and the con-
tinued rise today has brought the wa
ter within a few inches of the mark
that spells disaster. With rain falling
today in some parts of the valley the
worst is feared
Although the constant rise of the
past few days gave the people warn
ing OF the danger, many hundreds of
families have been driven from their
homes without being able to save their
effects.
Early estimates on the probable loss
occasioned by the flood runs we'll into
the millions of dollars.

District Chairman Angrily
Refutes Story He Work
ed for Delegates.

In a statement made today, Linus
Meredith, Sixth District Republican
chairman emphatically denied allega-
tions TO the effect that he had made
any effort to secure delegates TO any
Republican convention which has been
held this year
I'm going to smash the face of the
next person who accuses me of work
ing for delegates to any convention
said the Sixth District chairman today.
Il don't give a rap who is nominated
president, governor. or congressman
or who is nominated to any other Of
flee"
However. Meredith admitted that he
had worked in the First ward in or
der to defeat the Roosevelt candidate
for delegate to the District conven-
ton. He explained that his action in
the First ward was brought about by
personal feeling
Chairman Meredith has not received
information as to when the state COM
mittee will be called together to set
date for the state convention at which
time state platform is to be adopted
and nominations are to be made for
state offices. He says as soon as this
meeting is over he will call a meeting
Of the county chairmen of the Sixth
district in order to settle the date and
name the place for the holding of the
congressional convention.
Meredith believes that the state con-
vention probably will be held July or
s.
Local influential politicians who are
well versed with Indiana politics are
talking of prospective candidates for
the Republican nomination for COVER
nor. A large number believe that
Hugh Tn. Miller, former lieutenant

for the gubernatorial nomination four
years go, will again be a candidate.
Other names mentioned are those of
John l.. Griffith, consul-general to Lon

and removing the tracks from the Glen
was read for the second time last
night at council meeting. II. Kehlen-
brink, a resident of Twentieth street,
who signed the remonstrance against

TO the lack of public spirit manifested
by the residents of Twentieth street.
Weishaupt retracted nothing, and rel
terated his statement. The matter will
come to a head at the next meeting

WATERWORkS CASE
STILL UNSE TILED
1t Has Been Ten Months
Since Bids for Contract
Were Submitted.

1t is ten months since bids were sub
mitted to the city for waterworks
contract. 1t is six months until the
present contract of the Richmond
City Waterworks with the city expires.
In the meantime the city attorney
and his legal corps has had a very
hard time to do anything, but he hopes
to meet with Henry u. Johnson soon
and decide on some plan of action.
Mr.. Gardner said this morning that
if possible he and Mr. Johnson would
get together tomorrow afternoon. "Mr.
Johnson only wants one days notice."
he said.
DO you consider that the present
bids. as advertised for, have been re-
jected?"
No said the city attorney, they
are still in force and have not been
rejected"
The city will not be in a dangerous
position if the water works franchise
matter is not settled by next Octo-
ber?''
NE Slly AtlOlHSy luOuSut not.
The company claims a perpetual
franchise with the citizens" said Mr.
Gardner. ut is only the fire hydrants
that they say the city government has
anything to do with in this contract" ."
THAT is a debatable question, isn't
it,"
Yes, that's a question that Mr.
Johnson and I want to go over with
each other There are a lot of legal
points of that sort that must be con-
sidered before we can advise the city
what to do"
The waterworks question has been
up for settlement since the summer
following the spring nominations
which placed DIR. Zimmerman on the
ticket and has been the piece de resis-
tance ever since in city administration
circles. There is a growing sentiment
being noised about among the shop
men and other small consumers that
1t is about the time something was
brought to a head
'It seems to me-" said a prominent
shop leader who has interested him
self in the waterworks question" that
the citizens should know from their le-
gal advisors whether at the last min
ute the company can come in and
frighten a lot of people into accepting
any proposal they have to offer.

kof taking his confession to the murder
,of DIR. Helene Knabe of indianapolis
for the purpose of escaping the conse-
'quences of navy desertion Seth Mich
Iols, former sailor on the U. S. S. Dixie,
repeated deliberately and under oath
with additional details mis- story of the
circumstances surrounding the alleged
killing. Most of his statement, howev-
Ter, could have been learned from the
newspaper stories. Nichols declared to-
fday that DR.. Knabe awakened as he
land the mysterious Mr.. knight ap-
lproached the bed, and that the victim
fgave one low scream before he plung
Ted the knife. The look in Dr. Knabe's
,eyes has haunted him ever since, de-
,clared Nichols. He expressed willing
Hness to return to Indianapolis without
requisition papers.
The story told by Nichols today was
one of the most remarkable the police
here have ever heard. Nichols, who is
Iabout 21 years old, insists that he was
ion spree early last October while
ithe Dixie was at the Brooklyn navy
yard. He wandered into the Y. NJ. c. A.
at Brooklyn, he said, where he met a
man named knight and they became
very friendly. They drank together for
isome time, and finally Knight told him
she would give him $1,000 il he would
desert and do job for him. This he
Iagreed to and they went to Indianap0-
Ills
Nichols says Knight gave him a
sharp knife, like a razor. and aided
him in getting into the house to mur-
der DR.. Knabe while she slept While
I'm Indianapolis, Nichols says, he lived
with his sister, Mrs. Grace Lakeman,
on Eastern ave.
Nichols continued, 1--WE forced an en-
trance into the apartments of DR..
lKnabe through the living room. We tip
toed into the bed room, knight push
hng me ahead of him. Just as we reach
led the bedside, she turned, moaned
lelightly and opened her eyes. My God
1 will never forget those eyes"
Nichols declares that he threw the
knife into the river over which they
passed in cab after leaving the
