DR.. MORROW HOLDS
LUCAS IS INNOCENT
To Allay Suspicious of Per-
sons He and Prosecutor
Held Investigation.

Deputy Coroner r. d. Morrow, be.
fore he left this afternoon for Green's
fork to investigate the death of Mrs.
Seth Lucas, said that he did not be-
lieve that her husband was implicat.
ed in the death of his wife. He was &C
companied to the scene of the tragedy
by Prosecuting Attorney Allen.
The investigation which the two of.
f1cials made this afternoon follows in.
situations made against the character
OF Seth Lucas. 1t is alleged in certain
quarters that the old mans conduct
during the ere IN which Mrs. Lucas
was Moderated and their home des.
troyed might be constructed to mean
that Lucas knew more of her tragic
end than he had originally told the
coroner.
1t has been insinuated that Lucas
and his wife were not on friendly
terms.
Prosecutor Allen denied that he had
previous to today conducted an inves
tigation or had ordered one. He ex
pressed the belief that persons who
might be forced to retract
Or. Morrow's Statement.
Deputy Coroner Morrow, who con
Quoted the investigation of the death
of Mrs. Lucas last week, today issued
the following statement:
Il certainly do not believe that Lu
cas- was in any way connected with
the death of his wife. He was ques
toned concerning the fire by myself
and all neighbors in the vicinity / ask
ed him for an account and he gave II
to me, but / could see that the mar
was distracted from grief at the los.
of his aged wife. He was in such 8
condition that / did not believe ht

count of the fire. The other person!
who questioned him did so merely ou
Of curiosity and, not appreciative o.
his condition after the tragedy are ev
identity suspicious.
Who would be in a condition tc
give a correct account IL they were
driven from bed by fire and then los
his home and wife? Especially in the
case of man of his advanced age, al
lowances should be made for menta
lapses. Of course. there might hav,
been a skeleton in the family closet
Lucas and his wife, as near as / cal
find out. did have some domestic trou
bles, but they were of no consequence
/ do not think the man is guilty of the
horrible crime Of which some peopl.
suspect him.
Il am merely making this investiga
ton this afternoon to satisfy public
suspicion. The house itself is a hear
of ashes, and it is impossible to ge

The only way the crime can be clear
ed UP, if ii was actually committed
would be by getting confession from

LONDON OPTIMISTIC.

LONON, Oct. 4.-Despite reiterated
reports of severe fighting in the Bal
kans the general opinion of diplomats
who are closely watching the situation
involving Turkey, Bulgaria, Servia.
Montenegro and Greece is that there
has been a marked betterment in the
situation within the last twenty-four
hours. For the first time since the
crisis developed the hope was held out
that it would pass without any declara-
tion of hostilities.
Officials of the foreign office admit
ted that desultory fighting might be
expected because of the disturbed con-
dition in the Balkans, but declared
that no general action was probable
under the present circumstances.
A report sent out last night that a
severe engagement had been fought
by Bulgarians and Turkish troops at
Hermanli, a Bulgarian town, was dis
credited here today. This report stat
ed that 400 had been killed.

ACTOR JACK LEWIS
CASE IS MYSTERY
Attorneys Chagrined that
Lewis Appeared Before
Grand Jury.

Some members of the Wayne county
bar have stated they have been re-
liably informed that no indictment was
arrested on a charge of criminal as
sault on young girl. The authori-
ties refuse to state what disposition
was made of the Lewis case by the
grand jury, although the action taken
by the jury in that case is Of peculiar
public interest, not only because of
the charge against the we'll known ac-
tor, but also for the reason that he
was given the unprecedented privi-
lege by Prosecutor Allen and Perry ].
Freeman, states attorney for the cir
cult court, of appearing before the
grand jury to testify in his own be-
half
Prosecutor Allen was asked today to
state whether an indictment had been
returned or refused in the Lewis case,
but he flatly declined to commit him
self. ,a.s .@-
IF the man is innocent of the charge
against him and has been absolved by
the grand jury don't you think It would
be justice to him to make a state
ment to that effect?" the prosecutor
was asked. ... -...-
Il have nothing to say about the
Lewis case at the present time. At
the proper time l will make a full
statement" he replied.
when will be the proper time?" he
was asked.
When 1 get ready to make my
statement" he answered.
Attorneys for Lewis state they have
been unable to ascertain whether he
was or was not indicted. The man is
out on bond and the last heard of him
he was playing with his stock com
pany in Kentucky. He came to this
city from that state at the time he was
given the remarkable privilege of ap-
pearing before the grand jury.
Several Richmond attorneys have
| openly expressed their amazement
over the states attorneys in this coun.
ty establishing a precedent of per
mitting an accused man to appear in
his own behalf before a grand jury
and they are expectantly awaiting an
! explanation for the establishment OF
such precedent.

Or. DAVIS PRAISES
BEVER|DGE & TEDDY
Asserts that They and Pro
gressives Advocate Meas
ures for Good Health.

DR.. T. H. Davis, city health officer,
strongly indorses the clauses in the
platform of the Progressive party.
"The Progressives," said he, "are far
in advance of any other parties when
it comes to dealing with questions of
public health. There are no men in
the country who are better adapted to
work out these questions than Roose-
welt and Beveridge.
"Mr. Beveridge isga personal friend
of mine and l admire him for the way
he fought for the Child Labor law.
Although Roosevelt, in my opinion, is
rather egotistieal believe the coun-
try is now in a condition that it needs
some one who can do things. l am
more than willing to lay aside my
personal prejudices against him, be
cause of his great ability.
Concerning DR.. Wiley, who speaks
here this evening, I can only say that
he is an EXTREMIST and has gone over
to the Democratic party, because il
Wilson is elected he will be reinstated.
When he was in office he could not
agree with the Remsen board, which is
hired by the government and whose
members have no superiors in the
world along the lines of chemistry
The board was in favor of allowing
the catsup factories to use one-tenth
of one per cent of benzoate as pre-
servative and Wiley was opposed to
them using any"

and Extension of So. 9Th
Street Line Planned.
a
FIRST. OF TEN NEW
CARS REACHES CITY
Of a Modern Type and Will
Replace Ancient Relics
Car Company Has Had a
Very Busy Season.

Many Richmond people abroad ear
Iy this morning we're startled to see a
street car of modern design speeding
east and west along Main street.
'Its the first car of ten new ones to
be operated in Richmond" Supt. Cor
don informed a reporter. The others
will arrive in few days and will be
put into service at once"
AS fast as the other sister cars of
the one arriving here today put in an
appearance the ancient relics which
have been patrolling the streets Of
Richmond for years will be retired
from active service.
According to Mr.. Gordon the street
car company is contemplating other
improvements in it's local service. He
says he has been urging for some time
the construction of line in the south
end of the city running parallel with
Main street to give service to residents
in southern sections of the city, and
the continuation of the South Eighth
street line into Beallview
"These two projects have been seri.
ously considered by the company" Mr.
Gordon stated, but they have been de-
! layed owing to the big expense the
company has been put to this year in
the improvement of the lines already
in operation" Mr.. Gordon believes that
|1xwfffe not be long before the two
contemplated lines are laid down. The
South Side Improvement company has
been quite active in urging the COM
pany to extend it's South Eighth street
line into Beallview.
Improve Eighth Street. ,
Today the street car company COM
pleted it's work of relaying it's tracks
on West Fifth street. Monday the
company will begin work of repairing
it's tracks on South Eighth street, from
A street to H street. The rails are to
be placed on cement foundations and
brick paving will be placed between
the rails.
Next spring the tracks on North
Twentieth street and North Eighth
street will be relaid," Mr.. Gordon stat
ed
"How about the Glen Miller line, is
it to be removed?" Mr.. Gordon was
asked
ut will be taken up just as soon as
the turnouts on the Twentieth street
line are placed. The city's order will
be obeyed," he replied.
Last spring the city council revok-
ed the franchise of the street car COM
pany because Of continued delay in
long demanded improvements. The
company was informed that the revo-
cation edict would be annulled if the
improvements demanded were made
within ninety days. When the time
limit expired the improvements were
not completed, but as the company
had shown a willingness to comply
with the councils orders the time linn
it was extended, and when the COM
pany has completed all the work it
has undertaken it is quite probable
the council will restore to the COM
pany it's franchise.
